No Improvement In the Business

Everybody Talking About the Tariff and
Awaiting the Action Of Congress
Diversity Of Opinions
on Trade Topics.
ITEMS OF INTEREST TO BUSINESS MEN.

New YORK, February 1s.-The CONNER
cial situation has not changed from lhit OF
a week ago. There have been quite a
number of meetings at the Exchanges, and
an unusually large number of resolutions
passed. Our merchants are watching with
unusual interest the progress Of tariff leg
islation, and all look with deep interest to
its early termination. In several branches
there is an under current of activity, not
withstanding the apparent dullness on the
surface. Our commercial bodies are par
tieularly interested in the shipping
bill and in the bankruptcy bill. Should
the silver question likely come up
they will slss speak vigorously upon that
point. They believe the tariff question is
virtually decided, and that, too, in their
interests. That is to say, in favor of free
trade. 1t must be observed that a very
strong difference OF opinion is being deyel-
oped in this city between protectionists and
free traders. Protection has recently gain
ed many strong friends, and it is probable
that the progress made will be continued,
and for these reasons, that the interests Of
the great South and far West .ean to the
development of protection, and the COM
mercial interests of New York are depend
ent upon these sections largely. Prosperity
there means more than business in New
York.

CHICAGO, February 1S.-Another giant

Harmer is Mormon product, % years of
age, seven feet two inches in height,
and weighs 276 pounds. He describes
himself as mountain lunberman
and he throws a shadow like a shot

over a thousand pounds, and 1 can do it
again" He says he has never been sick
day in his life, and that he is going to
Milwaukee on Saturday to box with Prof.
Donaldson and q Chicago lightweight
After his Milwaukee bout he will return,
he says, 30 Chicago. and devote himself to
acquiring the manly art" Then he nom
chalantly adds, "I will challenge Sullivan,
or Slade, or Ryan, or perhaps all of them
at different times. have had the gloves
on only few times, but have done my

The Utah giant measures fOrty-nine
inches around the chest, seventeen inches
around the biCeps, fourteen inches about
the forearm, and twenty-seven inches
about the thigh. He is without any spare
flesh. and is high enough TO look the Ara
bian giant in the Westside Museum square

A WHITE HOUSE SCANDAL,
The Gall of the Gossips Puts Another
Fale Adoat.

The Gall Of the Gossips Puts Another
Gale AhOat.
WASHINGTON, February lS.-There has
been for some time a good deal of disagree
able gossip of a Scandslous nature, in
which the name of the President of the
United States has been compiled with that
Of distinguished lady. There is no other
apparent ground for these stories than can
be found in the indiscreet conduct of the
lady herself who is as beautiful as distin-
guished, and who has habitually thrown
herself in Mr.. Arthur's way to the scandal
of her husband and the soilinS of her own
honor. Yet these stories have thickened
and grown since last summer until they are
IN the mouths Of every male gossip mon
ger and on the tongue of every society
woman in the Capital. 1t is whispered
about to night that the husband OF the
lady, who has protested in yam against his
wife's reckless exposure of her character
to these scandalous insinuations and at
taCks, has gone higher with his com plant
and has personally threatened to hold Mr..
Arthur accountable. II but q small part
of this openly talked about is true, there is
a tempest brewing in the neighborhood OF
the White House, which will raise the hair
Of the whole country.
