FROM our special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, December 2O.-Senators
Camden and Davis, OF West Virginia
Groome and German, Of Maryland, and
MIR. Mayer, President Of the CONSOLIDATED
Coal Company, Of Maryland, appeared be.
fore the Finance Committee Of the Senate
to-day to oppose the proposed reduction oil
duty on bltuminous and slack coal. Mr..
Davis made an elaborate statement to the
committee, embracing the following points:
The duty on bituminous coal is now 75
cents per ton OF twcnty.eight bushels. and
the fine on slack coal 40 cents. It Is pro.
posed by the Tariff Commissions report 10
reduce the duty on the former to so cents
and on the latter to 80 cents. The duty on
coal, Mr.. Davis said, is as old as the Gov.
ernmcnt.
FORMER DUTIES.
In l7S9 the duty was So cents Der ton. in
100, 81 cents; in l702, 81 .5; in 1872, 50 so;
In 1876, 81 TO- in 1924, 81 Is; in 1898, 81 10;
in 1872, 81 Is; in 1862, 81 90; in 1864, 81 10:
in 1865, 81 rs; in 1878, Is cents, the same as
Ut present, making an average duty Of
about 81 20. The census of 1850 Shows
that the number Of persons in the
United SAles directly engaged in
the bituminous coal trade is 9G,475, dis.
tributed by States as follows: Pennsyl.
vania, $1,000; Indiana, $500; West Vir-
ginia, $500; Illinois, 1900; Kentucky:
5000; Iowa, 1874; Ohio, 5000, and Mary.
land, 1900. The capital invested in the
trade. MI. Davis said, is Sa3,5lS,4G4, OF
which S., 5,750,G74 Is invested in West Vir.
ginia and $l3, lG5,5 ,557 in Maryland. In 1882
there was imported S,00l 1884 tons OF Bit
luminous coal valued at S22,1S0,29 from
which the revenue obtained was $576,70l.
TlDEwATEK ADVANTAGES.
The coal in the ground is worth from
cents to % cents per ton. After paying for
labor and transportation the proposed re.
duction Of 25 cents per ton Is more than
the average profit to the shipper or owner.
American btuminous coal is transported
on an average Of 250 miles 10 tide water,
while the English Goals are within forty
miles OF tide water. The Nova Scotia coal
is within a few miles Of tide water. Anoth-
er point made by Mr.. Davis was that labor
here is higher than it is in Eng.
land or British America. The proposed
reduction is 33 per cent, which is greater
than Oh other articles, while the duty is
now proportionately less than any other
articles imported, it being almost "a per
cent, while the average on other articles is

| SALEM, MASS, December 20.-Much In.
terest Is felt by the members Of the State
Board Of Health In the case Of leprosy
which Is now under treatment at the Salem
almsholIse. The victim, Charles Derby, is
a native Of Salem, IS years old and a man
Of bright parts and liberal education.
He left Salem some % or 80 years ago, and
has passed moch Of the intervening time
at the Sandwich Islands, where hc was at
one time in high favor at the Court OF
Queen Emma, and distinguished himself
by researches In botany, Of which he was
passjopately fond. AT another time lie
was manager Of large theatre at Hon.
olulu, and from what is known OF his lie
during the last 20 years, it is supposed that
his habits have been wild and irregular.
PRONOUNCED A LEpER.
While in Honolulu his disease made It's
first appearance, and he was pronounced
a leper by DR.. McGrue, OF that city. DIS.
Walcott and Allen, Of the State Board, ex-
amiued him carefully yesterday and are
decided In the opinion that this Is really
his disease, though he himself will not ad.
nit 1t, but maintains that lie Is suffering
from secondary syphilis. The Salem MI.
thorities, however, will act on the Judy.

type OF leprosy, which is n combination OF
the an@sthetic and buberculous forms OF
the disease. He has lost the sight Of one
eye, and will soon lose the other. His
skin, which in youth was remarkably
smooth and tair, is
COVERED WITH TUBERCLEs
from half an inch to an inch in thickness,
especially numerous upon the face. One
loot is disabled, and the patient is nearly
helpless. He is, Of course incurable, but
may live some years longer.
Since this case became known another
has been brought to the notice Of the pub.
lie. In the neighboring town OF Beverly, a
patient suffering from what appears to be
leprosy has been under the care of DR.,
Hoddock for year past. Recently the
sole Of one OF the patients feet peeled of
entirely. His finger and toe nails dropped
out and patches Of skin came oil. The dis.
order has refused to yield TO any known
medical treatment and batl!es the physic.

ANOTHER INDEPENDENT"
Senator Brown, Georgia. I'm n New
bIe.

WASHINGTON, Feblary 9.-Senator Har-
ria moved, to-day, take up the resolu-
ton to elect Neil S. :own, Democrat, act
ing Chief Clerk, but was defeated by the
vote of Senator Brow OF Georgia, Davis,
of Illinois, voting 70 it. The Democrats
are very much incend at Brown because
of his vote, and salhe is endeavoring to
gain a reputation onimore as a non-parti-
zan, in order to obtaicertain Federal ap-
pointments he wants Senator Brown has
been quite active inSTking Federal ap.
pointments for GeorgSaut the President
has not been inclined grant his requests.
Now, so say some Denrats, Brown is en-
deayoring to shape hiSurse so as to make
it appear that he is noverse to independ-
ent politics, in the hophat that may COM
mend him to the Presint.
Another explanation his vote offered
BY his critics, is that heas an idea that q
great independent moment is develop
ing which will carry tlcountry in 1884,
and that he wants to j. it. He has not
offered any explanationmself.
