The senate committee on foreign affairs
has made a report in relation to the discrimi-
nations against American products made by
certain foreign countries Unjust as these
determinations appear to DO, thoy are no.
generally due to any spirit Of national or
commercial hostility, but to tho absence Of
commercial treaties. The remedy must bo

regard to the exclusion of American salted
meats from Germany and American cattle
from England. The committee adherss TO
tho remedy embodied in tho bill heretofore
reported, namely, tho subsection Of certain
importations from these countries to tho same
system of inspection and prohibition, assum-
ing of course that the allegations mado against
American salted meats and American cattle

The Wall street FURRY.

When tho dead and wounded are carried
body has been hurt excepting gamblers in
stocks and men and institutions whose money
has been made in the mad whirl of stock
gambling. The men who have gone down
are not among the producers. They strive
upon the weakness and ayarice Of their fellow
men. They arc as much gamblers as tho men
who bet on horse races, or who hazard their
money upon the turn of n card, The legiti-
mate business Of the country would not suffer
II an earthquake were to swallow up Wall
aud Broad streets
Tho money that has been lost in tho enor-
nous shrinkage that has been going on for
the last two years in railroad securities is in
a largo degree paper profits and fictitious
values. Tho masses Of the people have not
been greatly affected by this shrinkage. Tho
inflated property is held largely by tho
gamblers. When it gets down to actual
values the people may take hold. The gam
blors simply lose what never had any real,
tangible existence. They built castles in
Spain, and tho castles havo faded in thin air
Tho business interests Of tho country will
experience only a temporary inconvenience
by reason of the 1urry on Wall street. There
is an abundance of money on hand to carry
on legitimate trade, and it can be had cheap
for legitimate investment.

banks will not bo effected in the slightest

The Gable and the Whale.

A late number of the Panama Star and
Herald reports the manner in which
large whale came to grief by entangling
itself in an ocean telegraph cable. The
steamer Retriever was engaged in repair
ing break in the West Coast of America
Telegraph Company's submarine cable,
in lat. 70 degrees 81 minutes South, and
longitude 76 degrees 43 minutes West,
when the whale, measuring from 70 to 10
feet in length, fOuled itself IN the wire.
In its struggles to get free the cable cut
int o its right side, the entrails and large
quantities of blood issuing from the wound
and floating round the snip. In the last
dying struggle of the captive it parted
the cable and Heated away to windward
of the steamer. Some days afterward the
Retriever returned to pick up the piece of
cable in which the whale had been entan-
gled. 1t was then found that the fish had
drifted away, and that the cable was
twisted up in most curious fashion. In
no fewer than six different places it had
been bitten through sufficiently to stop all
communication,

The Result of an Excellent Police Ser
vica-Peace and Quiet in the Suburbs

The ResuIt of an Excellent Police Ser
vice-Peace and Quiet in the Suburbs.
The comparatively good order of the
city for some months past has been gener-
ally remarked. A reporter of the MORN
ING NEWS having referred to the subject
in the presence of Gen. Anderson,
Chief Of Police, the latter remarked
that the number of arrests for the
wear ending last December only varied
by two or three OF thereabouts from
the number during the previous year
ending December, 1882, and the fact had
been commented upon as being somewhat
remarkable.
The reporter then asked what the total
number Of arrests for 1888 was.
The General said: Il have not the
records with me, but my impression IS
that there were between 1850 and 2OOO
cases docketed in the Mayors Court.
This number includes those cases
entered on the information docAet
where parties were charged with having
violated some one Of the city Ordlna nces,
such as those adopted to enforce sanitary
measures. Strange as II may appear, tne
total from one year to another. Is shown
to vary by only a few either below or in
excess of the figures to which l have re-
ferred. But few of the arrests were for
aggravated Offenses, the majority being
either for parties charged with intoxica-
ton or disOrderly conduct"
ssWhat was the number Of arrests dur
ing the past month";"
81 have not been in the habit OF making
a monthly statement. and cannot say what
the number during July amounted to. AT
the close Of the year the arrests for the re-
spective months are classified and added,
when a consolidated report is made
up. Every morning. however, l send to
the MayOr a detailed report of the arrests
made BY the police during the preceding
d hours. Ii a street has been washed or
damaged bv rain the matter is not only re-
ported to the Mayor, but a special message
i is at once sent to the Street and Lane De-
partment. so that the matter may be
promptly attended to. If dead dog or cat

matter is also reported to the Mayor. and

sive carcasses are not removed a second

No Desire to be President.
Wdshin0tOa Letter,

Il will surprise you," said one of his
near friends to-day, "when / tell you that
Grover Cleveland has no special desire to
be President. Most public men, as you
know, are hungering and tnirsting after
it as though it carried personal immOr-
tality with it. If Grover Cleveland had
had his way he would have lett public
career forever at the close of his term as
Governor, and gone quietly back to his
Buffalo law office to live quietly and hap
PLY for the rest of his days. But, for that
matter, if he had had his way he would
never have left that cool, seques-
tered vale of life from which he
was dragged by public necessity
to the heights of public service. He is
singularly simple, modest, retiring man,
who cares little for the Joy of battle and
less for the glory of victory He did abb
solutely nothing to get the nomination for
Sheriff, or the nomination for Mayor, or
the nomination for Governor, or the nOmi-
nation for President. He seemed entirely
Indifferent to the latter. He said to us in

nominated. that we ought not to give our
selves any trouble about it, for he did not.
