that the tariff bill Of the Senate, as it
now stands, would prove disastrous to

the United States. and especially unjust
because of the fact that high tariff
against American lumber is maintained
in Canada.

REVOLUTIONARY PLOTS.
Exiles to Attempt a Rising in Cuba.
LONDON, SEPT. Is

LONDON, Sept. 10.
A Madrid correspondent says the Spanish
legation at Washington has Informed the
government that there is a Spanish exile In
Cuba making preparations for rising of the
colored people, who are reported discontinued.
The plot. however. is destined to fail.
Another despatch says the ministry have
received information that some Cuban exiles
living in the United States have been carry
ing on active correspondence with Maceo,
Maxine Gomez and from other chiefs well
known in the great rebellion and now in the
service of the Central American republics.
These exles have come to the conclusion
that if arms, ammunition and money can be
collected they could attempt rising in the
eastern part of Cuba, which they believe is
a capital starting point. The autonomist are
also ripe for an nsurrection because their
demands for tariff reform and self govern
ment have been disappointed during the past
- months. Lastly, these exiles expect
sistance from returned exiles, about 800 in
number, whom the Madrid government has
allowed to fix their abode in Cuba. The
Spanish ministers and consuls in Jamaica,
Central America aud the United States have
put the home government and the Cuban au-
thorites on guard against the probable dis
embarkatiOn near Santiago of exiles with
arms Some arrests have been made in
Cuha and great vigilence Is exercised on her
coast. The Madrid government has author
lied the new captain general. Castillo.
who has just left for Havana with full powers,
to proclaim state of seige and crush with
the almost severity all fiibusterlng expedi-
tons, even though foreigners share in them.
An attempt is expected this autumn from
Honduras, Jamaica and the United States.

All since have been returned TO the iantlc.
The ultimate result of any attempt TO go

Judge Rice and the North Pacific.

Most of tie accounts published concerning
the North Pacific Railroad, failed to mention
the name of Hon. Richard ID. Rice, of this
city, in connection it'll that enterprise, al
though he was among the most active and
efficient of its promoters The Boston Tray
eller calls attention to this matter and does
tardy justice to Judge Rice. The Traveller
says:
In the published accounts of the compile
ton of the Northern Pacific Railroad in which
history OF the great enterprise is given. a
very serious omission has been made hv the
compiler of such history. This is in relation
to the services of the late Hon Richard ID
Rice of Maine. whose name is scarcely men.
toned in connection with other prominent
workers, while 1t is probable that no single
individual contributed more powerfully to
the interests of the road. Judge Rice was
the constant early adviser Of Josiah Perham,
the first president of the Northern Pacific.
whom he assisted in obtaining the first char
tiers from various States. At a later period,
when MIR. j. Gregory Smith, of the Vermont
Central, was made president of the road and
called to his assistance the ahlcst railroad
managers of the country, Judge Rice was
among the first to be selected. who was at
once made vice president and managing d.
rector. He was induced to resign the presi-
dency of the Maine Central Railroad, which
he had succeeded in a wonderfully short
period in bringing up from almost a bank
rupt position to one of great prosperity, and
he threw himsslf with such energy and com
manding abilities into the Northern Pacific
project that the success of the enterprise
dates from his connection with it. Almost
tt.rh ,pft,, 81.
Blaine and other members OF Congress. he
obtained the land grant and government as
sistance by means of which JAY Cooke & 90.
were able to issue the bonds of The
road, and il was again largely
due to the confidence reposed in
Judge Rice as the actual manager of the
road that the people of New England were
induced to invest in its securities to the ex-
tent which they did. The failure of Jay Cooke
in the panic of 1878 was not Judge Rice's
failure, and it was thus generally understood !;
but the chagrin of being connected in any
way with failure induced him to retire with
broken health from further participation in
the Northern Pacific Railway scheme. Though
his name has teen temporarily and iuadver-
tently omitted from the list of those who were
the promoters of the third great Pacific rail
road, his eminent services cannot tail to be
remembered hereafter in its history
The Traveller even in this article makes an
important omission in regard to the services
of Judge Rice in connection with the North
Pacific enterprise. While he was Vice Pres
ident of the company he went to the Pacific
coast and selected and directed the location
of the road upon that part of the line, an ar
duous and important duty, for which he de-
great service in behalf of the great enterprise
the completion of which he did not live TO
witness.
