The Opinion il General.

NEW York, Jan. 19.-The special COM
mittee of the chamber of commerce re-
ports after investigation among all
members Of the chamber, that it finds
that the resolution adverse 10 the Span
ish treaty, passed at the meeting on
January s, satisfactory to large major
ity of representatives of all branches OF
trade and manufacturers who have
been called upon Tor an
opinion. The committee adds:
"MeXico and San Domingo
sister republics, the latter specially, is
tutiOns, and from her position might he
of much value in giving coaling sta
ton in case of war. The Treaties, with
these countries, would take but little
avenues of Of trade at reasonable
cost and deserve favorable considera-
ton. On the other hand, Cuba and Porto
Rico are dependencies of Spain, under
Spanish rule of the most arbitrary and
oppressive character. She has taxed
them until they are bankrupt, and now
she seeks at our expense to
make them further able to swell
her revenue. In helping European
power to continue its oppressive system
of government over the only two islands
on the American waters that remain
under its control, are we going to
permanently extend American infu-
ence? Spain has uniformly treated
American interests arbitrarily and I'M
Justly. American ships have been
seized and confiscated without just
cause. A constant series of fines has
been imposed upon our vessels, and
strange to say the advocates of this
treaty advance as one OF their argu-
meuts that outrages of this kind shall
cease as matter of favor, when we
long since should have demanded 1t as
matter of right"
The committee gives a number
of reasons why the treaty should not be
ratified, saying this is not reciprocity
treaty; that it would not benefit our
manufacturers to any great extent. 1t
would destroy our sugar producing IN
terests and derange our important Amer.
lean tobacco and cigar interest and
out of employment, att time when we
can least afford TO add to the army of
The report concludes thus: "The rev.
enue of single year, proposed to be re-
by us, would build credita-
BILE navy, or fortify our harbors, or build
a postal telegraph, or en-
large our canals, thus furnishing
American laborers with employment.
Or we might relieve the citizens from
taxation to that extent. Or for one
tenth this sum we could establish
American steamers to all South and
Central American ports, which would
do more to build up our commerce than
ten such one-sided reciprocity treaties:
The report has been sent to United
States senator's.

Washington Notes.
BOUT INDIAN LEASE.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Dr. Adair, OF
the Indian Territory, a Cherokee, was
examined by the senate committee on
Indian affairs to-day. He said he was
president of an association of Cherokee,
formed for the purpose of taking the
!. lease of vacant lands. The Cherokees
= associations agents were authorized to
offer $l25,000 for the lease, but 1t was Sc
cured by outsiders for 100000. The i'm
x0ression of members of the native asso-
citation was that money was used by
their rivals. Cash was a very rare COM
modify among the CherOkees before the
lease was made. About the time it was
made, however, members of the council
came to witness store with $50 bills to
change.

Berry.
A young man named VIM. d. Brookes was
arrested at Laurel, Nd, Saturday, by Detec.
tives Edelin, and Mattingly, Of this city, and

on the charge of breaking into the house OF a
relative named Mr.. Dennison, farmer, residing
near GiesbOro' point, and robbing it of 5000
Brookes was brought 10 this city, and subse-
who Is of prepossessing appearance, went to
Laurel about three months ago, established en-
ice-creanl saloon, and married a young lady
named Mollie DennisOn. He appears to have
established reputation there of being a very
nice young man. He came to this city about a
week ago with his wife, taking rooms ON p
street. He represented, it Is said, that he was
the captain Of O vessel, and last Monday took
leave OF his wife, alleging that he had to sail for
Baltimore on his vessel. Instead Of going to
Baltimore, It appears, he went out into the
Mr.. DennisOn's house. He then went to Launel
where he was arrested Saturday by the officers
Bro0kes Is identified BY the officers as the same
man who was arrested here last year under the
name of Harrison, for stealing O horse and
buggy In Prince Georges county. At that time
he escaped by jumping from q train while on
the way TO Baltimore. Since his arrest many
mysterious robbeffes occurring near Laurel
have been charged against him. AS he Is
turned over TO the Maryland authorities
Among other robberfes placed to his account is
