who said that they desired to go in to the

AT THE NATIONS CAPITAL
THE MEXICAN TREATY RATI-
FLED BY THE SENATE,

Post Office Appropriations Discussed
in the HOuse-Wrecked Vessels Pur-
chased by Americans to be Admitted
to Registry-President Arthur to Veto
the Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, March 11.-In the Sem
ate to-day bills were introduced and APP
propriately referred as follows:
BY Mr.. Miller, of New York-Providing
for the suspension of the coinage of the
standard silver dollar for two years, and
the issue of one and two dollar treasury
notes. In introducing the bill Mr. Miller
said that it was one prepared by the New
York Chamber Of Commerce. He pre-
sented at the same time a petition from
that body, praying for the passage of the
bill. At the conclusion of the morning
business the Senate at l O'Clock went
into executive session on the Mexican
treaty.
The doors were reopened 5:20 o'clock.
ana the Senate Immediately adjourned.
IN THE HOUSE.
In the House to-day, under a call of the
Committees, reports were submitted by
Mr.. Hammond fayOrably from the Judi
clary committee for the payment of S35.-
"
pended by that State for the common de-
tense in 1777.
Mr.. Morrison reported favOrably from
the Ways and Means Committee a bill to
reduce the import duty and war tariff
taxes. The new tariff bill is accompanied
with written report.
Mr.. Mckinley submitted the views of
the minority and the House then went
into committee of the whole on the post
Office appropriation bill. the general de-
bate to be limited to three hours.
The bill was read through section by
section, and pending a motion to increase
the amonnt appropriated for postmasters,
the committee arose.
A bill was passed permitting the ad-
mission to American registry of any
foreign vessel which has been either
wrecked or damaged within the navigable
waters of the United States on the high
seas, provided the vessel shall have been
purchased by a citizen of the United States
and repaired in the United States at a
cost equal to double the amount Of the
value of the vessel when purchased.

difficult, if not impracticable, of execution. 1t
Is leap in the dark.
THE AD vALoREM FEATURES.
Sisth. That feature of the bill which ap-
plies ad valorem rates to most of the sched-
ules affected by 1t is especially obiectiona-
bic, because it viii greatly increase the eX-
isting evil Of under valuation and consequent
frauds upon the revenue as well as so com
plicate the rule of assessmeet of duties as to
greatly embarrass the administration of the
law. Against the statement of the majority
as to the effect of protective duties upon
wages and on the laboring poor is the state
ment OF W0rkmen themselves before the COM
mittee who may be fairly allowed to speak
for themselves on question so vital to them,
all unite in declaring that protective duties
are essential to fair and remunerative wages,
ana that every reduction OF said
duties Will inevitably result in the lowering
OF the standard of American wages. We dis
sent radically from the statement of the ma
JOrlty of the committee that a reduction of
duties IghJens by so much the burdens of
taxation.
LESSON FROM THE PAST.
The whole history Of our national experience
shows a constantly decreasing price as an
eHect OF increased home competition. The re-
ducti0n Of duties which destroys our produe-
ton and competition as inevitably results in
putting up the price demanded by our foreign
rivals. In the belief that the late tariff leg
islati0n would remain without material
adjusted itself to 1t, producers have entered
into contracts and generally arranged their
business in character and volume in conform
lty with it. All classes of our people have
relied upon its reasonable permanence and
freedom from immediate andradcal changes
so that every consideration appeals to Con-
gress to let the present law alone and permit
the business of the country to proceed with
out legislative disturbance. What the coun-
try wants most is relief from Congressional
agitation. All of the industries of the cOun-
Wy are extremely sensitive, and just at this
Time, when business is more or less depressed
IN every branch, the threat or fear of a change
introduces an element of uncertainty and dis
turbance throughout the country, the evil eff
IecJs OF which no one can foresee. Twenty per
cent reduction, or any reduction, however
slight, following so close upon the reduction
made last winter, cannot be defended as to a
single schedule of the tariff. and, as to many
1t can be shown to be wholly disastrous. We
believe that if after a sufficient trial OF the
effect of the last revision it shall appear that
the industrial interests of the country can be
maintained with it, and the condition of the
Treasury will justly further revision, such
action Will be more wisely undertaken by the
friends of the protective system, and with less
disturbance to the public prosperity, than if
done now by the avOwed advocates of the
destruction of the American system of pro-

She Blacks an Africans optic. and

WAsHINGToN@ March 11.-Dr. Mary
Walker, Washington's celebrated female
character, who insists upon appearing at
all times in male attire, INDUCED in some
pugilistic exercise at the capitol this after
noon. Between u and 1 O'Clock she en-
tered the room Of the House Committee
on Claims to attend to some private bust
ness. Before she did so she lifted her silk
hat and sat it down upon box in the cor
ridor beside the door. Entering the room
she took seat at the committees table,
and began rummaging over some papers.
In few minutes the door opened and in
stalked cOlOred messenger. On his head
was cooked, in saucy manner, DR..
Mary's hat.
rs this your tile, DR.. Mary?D he in
qulred, IN tone she thought altogether
impudent.
1T is my hat, l thank you,'' she re-
pied; "and what are you, you black
rascal, doing with it on your head?v
Inc colored man tipped the tile smiled,
ana handed 1t to her, and then withdrew
to the corridor. DR.. Mary followed him
with rage beaming in her eyes:
81 want to know what makes you so
Impudeht, you puppy?' she continued,
when the two were in the corridor. Then
she uncorked the jug of her wrath, and
poured it out upon the unsophisticated
head of the darkey until he was blacker
than midnight. Finally the colored man
began to sass back
USING HER FISTS.
This precipitated the storm. Swelling
with rage, she rushed at the coIored man
remarking, "Take that" and she planted
a well delivered blow in the immediate
locality of his optic. He staggered, re-
gained his footing and fled precipitately.
Dr. Mary did not pursue him. His eve
began swelling and it is said that the
punishment proved severe. a wag who
saw DIR. Mary enter the committee room
put up the prank and persuaded the col
Ored man to don the hat. Those who saw
the encounter take sides with the woman
and say that the castigatiOn was a just
one. There were no arrests.

PITTsBURG, March IA delegate who
has just returned from a secret meeting
OF the Nut and Bolt Manufacturers
Union of the United States, held in New
York last week, says that never in the
history of the trade has there been such
a depression as at present. He did not
suppose that out of forty-twO firms in the
country there was one making over nine
days out of two weeks work. Fifteen
thousand men were interested in the
branch of manufacturing, and 81 800, 900
capital was invested. The Presidential
election and tariff tinkering, he said,
was responsible for the depression, and he
did not think that there was much pros
pect of a renewal of business until after
the November election and the settlement
of the tariff.
