Lower Freight Rates Wanted.

New YORK, March IA deputation from
leading dry goods houses appeared to-day,
before the executive committee of the trunk
lines to urge Redistribution on west-b bound
traffic Assistant Commissioner c. N. Gull
ford presided. There were present Frank
Harriott, freight agent of the Baltimore e.
Ohio railroad; R. c. Villas, of the Erie rail-
road, and James s. Wilson, of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad. C. S. Smith presented pa
per signed by the leading dry goods men of
this city and principal manufacturers OF New
England, claiming that the present classified
ton is unjust, and injurious to business, and
that higher relative charge is made on
shirtings than on any other textile fabrics.
Others also spoke on the subject to the same
effect. Mr.. Harriott requested a statement
in writing showing the charges on Western
and Southern roads to manufacturers in
these sections, and promised on the part of
the freight agents that due consideration
will be given the matter. 1t is said here that
Western and Southern factors are suppressed
ing the Eastern.

WASHINGTON, March lit having been
stated that Senator VOORHEES, is personally
hostile to General ]. w. Foster, the Tall
Sycamore" is moved, in an interview, to
make the following statement: "My per-
sonal relations with General Foster have
always been kind and pleasant, and they are
so now. We take different views in regard
to certain pending treaties with Mexico but
it is ridiculous to suppose that to be a cause
for personal hostility. I was not opposed to
his confirmation as minister to Spain. l did
think it doubtful whether he could accept
the appointment, owing to his employment
as agent or consul for the government of
Mexico; but that was a matter for him to
determine and adjust, and have no doubt
he will properly do SO. He has made fine
record in the State Department as minister
to Mexico and Russia and he has nothing
but my best wishes in his new field of duty"

Statement of the Society-what 1t Proposes
to Do.

LAWRENCE, Mass, March 1.-The Angus
tinian Fathers make the following financial
statement of the Catholic churches in Law
renee: Liabilities-703 personal accounts,
$405, 400; interest outstanding to January,
1888, $31 900; mortgages, $780, 700; total, $751;,
300. Assets-St. Mary's Church and grounds,
$500, 600; parochial residence, $33, 900; con-
vent and grounds, $4,000; st. Mary's school
and grounds, $65, 900; Immaculate Concep-
ton Church, $65, 000 Immaculate Concep-
ton residence, $4,000; st. Lawrence Church,
$50, 000 St. Augustinian's Chapel, IS, 900,
cemeteries, $4,000; total, $569,O0O This
leaves, apparently, a surplus of 81, 700, but as
the market value CT the assets is much less
than their cost, there is a deficiency rather
than surplus.
The official statement causes deprecia-
ton in the secretary's affairs, in accordance
come has been absorbed by the expense of
maintaining clergy, buildings, schools, etc.,
which amount to $12, 500 annually, and
above all by the large sums paid for interest
on deposits and mortgages, which, beginning
with 1854, amount to $294,600. The society
proposes to pay annually at least $685. 900 of
the deposits and as much more the en-
deavors of members here and elsewhere can
obtain. II asks that depositors forbear for
the time from enforcing their claims, and
the congregations of various churches CO.
operate with their pastors in liqudating
every claim.
Three more attachments were made on
church property to-day by depositors.

crowded since Mr.. Blaine delivered his
eulogy on President Garfield. There was not
even standing room for another person.
Throughout the imprisoned discussion, Mr.
Page sat quiet and apparently unconcerned
the calmest man in the House to outward ap-
pearances, and when the row was over he
moved to go on with the consideration of the
river and harbor bill as though nothing had
happened. Mr.. Van Voorhis's abject apology
at the bar of the House was all that saved
him from ignominious expulsion.

General Woodford's Removal and the Causes
that Led to 1t.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-Two or three of
the New York nominations were sent in this
afternoon. That which will give rise to the
greatest amount of talk will be the nomina-
ton of Elihu Root, who displaces General
Stewart L. Woodford. 1t has been known
for long while that the President would
remove General Woodford, but he has taken
his time about it. The Generals course
during the last campaign was an open chal-
lenge, which the President could not over
look, and his subsequent defiance of Attor-
ney-general Brewster constituted an affront
of sufficient magnitude to call for his dis
missal. The relations between the President
and General Woodford have been of very
pleasant character, personally, for years, and
his reluctance to take the step, which
was really political necessity, can be readily
understood To have kept him in Office
longer would have been the highest recogni-
ton of political and official INSTRUMENTATION
which would have been fatal to party organ
izaiion. General Woodford it will be re-
membered, put General Arthur in nomina-
ton at Chicago, closing his speech with these
words

most distinguished citizens upon whose pri-
vate character there is no stain of reproach,

tention to deliver byrne to the English gov
eminent. 1t says England refused to de-
liver Bernard an avowed accomplice of
Orsini in his attack on Napoleon, and she
has offered an agreeable refuge to all our

Now, on the simple denunciation of a wretch

contrary proof is brought, ought to be held
innocent.

LONDON, March 1.-The Times, in an article
touching the application of England to the
United States and French governments for
the extradition of Sheridan and Bvrne,
says: mo candid American or Frenchman
would contend that the case of the Phoenix
Park murderers was covered by the privilege
accorded political offenders, and asserted
in Great Britain in the case of Orsini, who
attempted the life of the Emperor Napoleon
in 1857. But" the Times says, "if only COM
plicity in the organization of a secret society
is alleged against Byrne and Sheridan their
extradition will possibly be refused"
Commenting on the application for the
extradition of Sheridan the Pail Mall Ga
zette says: when Russia wished Europe to
refuse asylum to Nihilists, the Austrian
Fremdenblatt declared that such demand
would give Europe the right to ask Russia
to terminate the regime which pro-
duced Nihilism. 1t would be unpfeaS-
ant if the United States government
addressed a similar suggestion to Lord Gran
vile, Foreign Secretary. If the demand for
the extradition of Sheridan is based solely
upon the fact of his belonging to the Irish
1nvincibles, it stands exactly on the same
footing as if Russia had asked for the surren-
der OF Prince Krapotkin. Not even success
in securing the surrender of Sheridan would
atone for the abandonment of rhe rosition
with regard to ext Jon which We have
hitherto maintaineo in the Face Of Europe.
1t would be even worse If tho position were
abandoned only te obtain a humliaung re-

A Causefess Insult from Mr.. Van voorhis
Throws the House Into Confusion.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Mr. Van Voorhis,
of New York, disgraced himself and the
House tonight by an unprovoked and mex
cusable attack upon Mr.. Page, chairman of
the committee on commerce, who has charge
of the river and harbor bill. Ever since Mr..
Van Voorhis was officially rebuked last ses-
sion, for tampering with a committee report,
he has hated Mr.. Page, to whose influence
he attributed the proceeding, with
venomous hatred. During the session he
has repeatedly attacked Mr.. Page, and only
yesterday he denounced the Californian as
stage driver and street bully" Tonight
he characterized him as "a gambler and a
cut-throat." For two days he has acted like
a crazy person. He has feeble voice, and
this evening his language might have been
passed had not several members sitting in
his immediate vicinity Kissed "Shame
