Geo. Makepeace Towle, in New York Advocate.
Those who have seen this remarkable man,
who yet seems destined to play stormy, if not
a conquering, part in the history of Eastern SUI
perstition describe him as tall slim, straight,
with the true Arab creamy complexion, black
hair, cut close to the skull, and black beard de-
scending to point after the Arab fashion. His
eyes are dark and piercing, one being black and
the other brown. His manner is stern, serious,
and often absent and distraught, as if in deep
contemplation He is very reticent, giving his
orders in few words, and evidently alert in all
his proceedings. He maintains rigidly his devo-
tional exercises and at each crisis of action pro-
fesses to hold communication with Allah from
whom he derives the inspiration to guide him
to a successful issue. But in battle he is said to
become true Oriental warrior, kindling to an
intense ardor, and becoming savagely intoxicated
by the din and fury of the conflict His later
operations indicate, indeed that he is a soldier
of no mean order, and that he well understands
the conditions of warfare in the desert regions
and difficult steppes of the Soudan He seems
to have maintained a wonderful efficiency of or
ganization among the semi-barbarians who so
enthusiastically follow his standard, and to have
the capacity of creating an army out of the most
unpromsing materials. His exploits have made
him. for the time at least, the absolute master of
the Soudan, and he now advances to yet more au-
dacious conquests. Suchis the man who has cast
his shadow over Constantinople itself, and whose
name is ringing in the ears of the Mohammedans
of three continents.

duty of prison officials to provide religious serv
ices, they have the right to compel attendance by

doctrine.

PROTECTION IN DANGER,
Senator Sherman Expresses His Views in a
Letter on Reciprocity with Canada.

CLEVELAND Feb. S.-Senator Sherman has
written letter to the Iron Ore Review upon the
MISUNDERSTANDING here and eliminating in
the organization in New York of an association
of capitalists to secure reciprocity with Canada
in the matter of a reduction of duty on coal and
iron ore He writes: '"The subject of treaty
of reciprocity with Canada in respect to coal and
iron ore has not been brought to my attention,
but my first view is entirely against such
treaty. We have plenty of coal and iron ore in
this country, now protected with a comparative
ly low rate of duty, and see no reason to dis
turb it. Indeed, the whole protective system is
now in more danger from its friends than
its enemies. Manufacturing interests are be-
ginning to regard coal and iron ore, pig-iron
wool and other articles Of domestic production
as raw articles, not to be protected by duty If
this new doctrine should get foothold it would
destroy the whole protective policy of the gov
eminent The rule of protection must extend
to all labor alike. To the labor of the farmer in
producing wool, to the labor of the miner in dig
ging coal; and if it is denied to the farmer and
the miner it cannot justly be maintained in ia
vor OF the manufacturer 1t is labor that is to
be protected and not capital 1t is, indeed, moro
important to develop the natural resources Of
the country in production, mining and manu-
features of such articles as wool, iron and coal
than to protect higher forms of production
where cheap labor is Indispensable

afterward. Eight tanks in all, each contain hg

ing the order of business, was discussed one
hour The discussion ran principally in the di,
recuon of pointing out the utter impractcability
OF having any public business done in the House, \
except the passage of appropriation bills.
MIR. Randall, from the committee on appro-
pl1atlons reported the naval appropriation bill,
and gave notice that it would be called up next
Tuesday.
Mr.. Randall, in closing the debate on rules.
recognized the impossibility of Congress trans
acting more than very small percentage OF the
business before it. In the Thirty-eighth Con-
gTess the whole number of bills introduced was
less than a thousand, and in the last Congress
more than ten thousand. He opposed the amend
1nent because it would tear down every restraint
between extravaganza and economy. He sug-
gested that the remedy was not to be found in
the rules, but in such legislation as would pro
vide tribunals for private claims and for PEN
sions.
Mr.. Reeds amendment was lost-yeas 126,

Mr.. Herbert moved to recommit the resolu-
ton with instructions to report it back with an
additional rule providing that when the House
Is proceeding to business on the House calendar
or in committee of the whole, it shall be in order
for one member under direction from the com
mlttee to make motion to take up some particr
ular bill. Lost-yeas 113, nays 131. The re-
port OF the committee on rules was then adopted

Carlos Squero now in prison at Key West, and
held for extraditon demand of the govern
ment OF SPAN, until 1t shall be ascertained that
the charges against him true and that he is
not held for political offenses.
The House went into committee of the whole,
Mr. Cobb in the chair, on the private calendar.
The first bill on the calendar was one to provide
for the muster and pay of certain officers and en-
listed men of the volunteer forces. After short
debate the committee rose and the bill passed

Utah Legislature.

SALT LAKE, Feb 8-The Utah Legislature,
composed exclusively of monogarlist Mormons,
has been in session four weeks, and passed two
unmportant bills. Being elected under the
Edmunds law the Utah Commissioners antici-
pated that the Legislature would enact laws
placing the Territory in accord with
the government, but nothing is liable to occur
justifying the anticipation Governor Ramsey and
Judge Carleton, the only members of the com
mission, at present in the Territory, are closely
observing the situation. The gentiles think the
commissioners will recommend substitution of
a legislative commission, or something equally
effective taking the law-making power out of
the hands of the Mormon Church.
