BEsIEGING THE CABINET.
Visitors Still COuutless-The Tariff
Policy of the Secretaries.

Visitors stiII COuntless-The Tariff
Policy of the Secretaries.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE rush of
visitors continued to-day without diminu-
tion, and notices have been posted in con-
spicuous places by the Postmaster Gen.
eral and Secretary of the Interior to the
effect that only Senators and Representa-
tives will be received after noon. The
regulation is beginning to have a per-
ceptible effect and both of these officials
now find time to devote a small part of
the day to the transaction of necessary
routine business.
THE TARIFF POLICY.
In their eager inquiries for office the
Democrats here have not given much time
to analyZing the Cabinet with the view of
reaching conclusion as to its attitude
toward the tariff question. Judged by
their views, as expressed in letters and
speeches, the President and his Cabinet
officers can scarcely be acceptable to the
Randall protectiOnists. Mr.. Cleveland has
been understood to be favorable to a tariff
reform. Mr.. Bayard's Speeches in Con-
gress have been of the most pronounced
reform sort. Mr.. Garland has spoken and
voted with the opponents OF protection for
protectiOn's sake. Mr.. Lamar, in the
strongest speech delivered during the
tariff debate of 1888, uttered a most i'm
pressive warning against the dangers that
were threatening from worship of the
giant protection. Mr.. Endicott is a tariff
reformer. Mr.. Villas is called a free trader,
so positive are his views in opposition to
high protection. MIR. Manning has not
spoken, but his paper is ANYTHING but
prOtectiOnist organ. MIR. Whitney is un-
derstOOd to be tariff reformer If there
is any donbt about any of these men it
can only be as to two of them, and the
best the protectionists can do will only
enable them to get one or two adherents
out Of the eight gentlemen who gather at
the Presidents official table.

All CamerOOns Country Conceded to
Germany Except Victoria.
BERLIN, March 1.-THE result of Count
Herbert Bismarck's special mission to
England, relative to German interests in
West Africa, is reported to be as follows:
England comedies to Germany the whole
of CamerOons country with the exception
of the mission town Victoria, where the
Germans are alleged to have hauled down
the British flag. England further
agrees not to interfere with
any action Germany may take in the
entire country from the south bank of the
Rio Del Rey, small river emptying into
the blight of the Blapra, some distance
north OF the CamerOOns, to the GabOon,
which enters the sea very near the equa-
tor. Germany, on the other hand, recOg-
nizes the supremacy OF England over the
country lying between the north bank Of
the Rio Del Rey and Lagos. This covers
the basin of the lower Niger.

England to an understanding with Ger

drain caused by the members of the re-

for active service. The government does
not propose any immediate increase in
the Indian troops of the line, but proposes
to raise 10000 additional native troops for

is unanimously clamorous for war with
Russia. The Russians are hurrying the
completion of the railway from Kizil-

THE LAST DAY.
Fridays Programme-The Award of
Premiums-Finest Races of the Ex-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Notes of the
Misunderstanding Up.

The joint exhibition of the Vermont
State Agricultural society and Champlain
Valley association for 1885 which closed,
Friday, was one of the most successful
in the history of the associations and,
probably, drew more people from all parts
OF the State, and from other States,
than any previous agricultural eX-
hibitOn in Vermont.
The attendance on the grounds,
yesterday, while not as large as that of
Thursday, was very large, the number be
ing estimated at about eight thousand The
perfect weather was an almost irresist-
able inducement to multitudes to visit
the grounds. The interest in the races
also eliminated, and the grand
stand was filled throughout the afternoon
with enthusiastic spectators. At nine
O'Clock III the morning the premium
awards were declared from the grand
grand cavalcade on the track of premium
and other stock on exhibition. The throng
began to arrive early in the afternoon, and
by the time the races began the grounds
presented anything but a deserted appear
ance The sun waXed warm, and there
was Il livelier demand for cooling drinks
than at any other time during
the fair. Vendors of the harm
less colored beverages sprang up
everywhere, rs if by magic, and the
seductive cry of the lemonade and root
beer man was heard on every hand. As
on the previous day the best of order pre-
vailed y few slightly inebrated persons
were to he seen here and there IN the
throng, but cases OF offensive and beastly
ntoXication were wanting. \ large mum

the afternoon, and some reckless driving

down, and barely escaped serious injuries
This is matter which those in authority
should look into another year. Teams are
allowed to drive ut VIII among the thronC
and drivers often become reckless
or Indifferent as to the safety of those in
their path. Drivers of teams should at
least be required To give warming to pcu-
pie in front of them by blowing il small
whistle, or 10y some other signal. The chief
interest of the day. To the miscellaneous
public, was of course, the races, of which
there was II double dose, owing To We'd

Poultry.
The poultry exhibit, which has been
largely increas ed since the opening days
of the fair, is one of the largest and most
attractive ever shown at the joint eXhib.
enough to accommodate such an eXhibi-
ton of poultry as should he made at a
State Fair, and this, doubtless, is one rea-
son why the exhibits in this department
have never been very extensive. The
benches are now completely filled with
coopS, and some cOops are inConveniently
placed upon the ground, for lack of room.
The largest exhibitor in this department
is Mr.. c. G. Paine of East Bethel, who
makes one of the most complete, as well
as meritorious, exhibits of poultry we have
ever seen His exhibits include three
cOOpS of American DominiQueS, three

BRIGHTER SKIES AGAIN,
IMMENSE ATTENDANCE AT THE FAIR.
Principal Day of the Joint Exhibitions
Fifteen Thousand People ON the
Grounds-The Address by DR..
Loring-Notes of the Exhibit.

Thursday was the great day of the fair
Everything conspired to make it nota-
BILE success. The cloudless skies after the
long rain; the pure, cool, bracing at
mosphere the perfectly arranged eX-
hibits the long list of deferred races; the
address by so notable "A man and so fine
a speaker as Hon. George b. Loring-all
these attractions, added to the fact that
the third day of the fair is always
considered the most desirable, drew forth
an immense attendance of people. The
trains brought thousands from Il distance
and from an early hour IN the morning
wagon load after wagon load of country
people poured into town. 1t soon became
evident that all the disappointment and
loss occasioned by the rain of the previous
day would be more than atoned for by the
vastly increased attendance. From
the opening of the gates in the
morning until late in the afternoon, there
was hardly a break in the throng of car
riages and pedestrians passing the
entrance. The ticket sellers and gate
keepers were kept on the jump, and it
is said that never before were 50 many
tickets sold at IL State Fair in Il single
day. Fully fifteen thousand people We're
on the grounds, at half-past three O'Clock
the principal hours of the day were there
less than eight or ten thousand inside the
gates. From the clerks Office, the
grounds looked black with people in
every direction. After the commence
ment of the races, which We're of unusual
interest and finely contested, the grand
stand was packed to its utmost capacity,
and the track for three-quarterS of the
distance round on either side lined deep
with spectators. The exercises of the
day were carried out to the complete
satisfaction of everybody-even those
who had pinned their faith to
dubious horse-hesh. Choice musical
were interspersed throughout the pro
gramme. The races We're among the
fnestever trotted on Howard park track
and called forth unlimited enthusiasm.
The best of order prevailed on the grounds
throughout the day, in spite of the inn
mense concourse of people, and the no.
ticeable absence of drunkenness was a
most gratifying feature, rejecting the
highest credit upon the officers of the
joint associations, and others, who have
made a special effort to suppress the dis
grace and nuisance this year.
The programme of the morning included
the usual stock inspection and the address
by Hon. George b. LOring. which was de-
livered at about II o'clock a. m. The
speaker was introduced by Senator Ed
munds.
Dr. Loring's address was an exceeding
ly interesting, eloquent and able effort,
and was listened to by a large audience,
His theme covered the ground of great
est interest to his hearers,-t growth
and resources of Vermont together with
a general view of the increase of Ameri-
can industries, and the position of agri-
culture in America The following is Il
brief abstract of the address:

1 HE RACES.

yesterday, and the track was in fine
condition after the hard rain of Wednes-
day Edward Ellis, Esq, of Schenectady,

boro and w. Seward Webb Of this city
were the regular judges, but Col. Cannon

The races trotted were the 2:30 and three
minute classes in alternate heats. In the
2;30 race for a purse of $3.50, a Geld of six
horses was presented. Upstart drew the
pole with Young Columbus sec
ond, but Clara NJ. quickly caught the
lead aud held to the finish, with Night
ngale second. The quarter was made IN
30, the half i'll La and the third in l.52
The others were well strung along. In
the next heat Clara took her place at the
lead, followed by Nightingale, closely fol
lowed by Cha2y Maid, although the latter
had met with quite an accident in scoring
The third heat was but II REPETITION of the
others, with Clara i'm the lead and hard
pressed at one time by Nightingale, who
seemed to be closely gaining on hel
when she flew from her feet, but
did not lose her position as second in
the heat. This finished the race which was
