A NEW TARIFF BILL.
The Randall Wing In Congress Has
Agreed 10 Revenue-Ref0rm
Measure.
Philadelphia telegram

Philadelphia telegram
The Press prints the following Wash
ington special regarding recent tariff
deal among the Democrats:
"The apparent non-committal atti-
tude on the question of the tariff is the
result of recent conferences in which
the more moderate Democrats, includ-
ing the President himself and Score
tary Manning, have thrown out the tub
which is intended, at least for the pres
ent, to satisfy the free-trade whale. In
the conference which has led to this re-
suit, which took place recently in
Washington, Congressman Randall
took leading part, and in many re-
spects his views had much to do in
shaping the new Democratic policy.
First of all it was agreed on all
sides that the tariff must be revised.
At last, after much discussion, in
which the advice of certain well-known
protectionists was sought and freely
and frankly given, the moderates
agreed to give the immoderates $f0,-
600, 900 reduction in customs during
the coming session, the moderates,
however, to reserve the right of Great
Ahb oOAb Va -CICi COul-
mission to be run during the months
preceding the coming session of Con-
gress as a sort of side-show to the
Treasury Department.
1T must not for a moment be sup
posed that reduction of $4,000, 600,
which involves the acceptance and sup
port on the part of the free traders of
a bill prepared entirely by the Randall
wing of the Democratic party, was
agreed to without other and still more
substantial promises in the immediate
future. 1t has been practically agreed
upon that the Treasury Department,
aided and abetted by such manufacture
ers as may be found willing to cooper
ate with the Secretary, will present
bill, the basis of which will be, as L
have said, the reduction of $40, 600, 900,
or at least an apparent reduction of that
amount.
40 this end the Treasury Depart
ment has employed several experts,
who are now engaged in obtaining
opinions of manufacturers throughout
the country, and such information as it
is enabled to gather in relation to the
cost of production at home and in com
peting European countries. All this
information will be tabulated and bill
framed after the fashion of that pro-
posed land finally passed) by Secretary
of the Treasury Walker, and which is
known as the Walker bill of 1886
ION paper and viewed as whole,
this is a splendid scheme. The mo-
ment, however, the bill, as proposed by
the Secretary of the Treasury, comes
into the House and is taken up-as it
most assuredly will be-line by line,
the Democratic party will be in the
same condition as it always has been on
the tariff question. A struggle over
the proposed Treasury bill will. in fact,
develop the old struggle again. The
least Objectionable measure may be
passed, but a measure that contem-
plates the reduction of $40, 900, 900 of
customs duties will, in the opinion of
some of the leading Republicans here,
utterly fall

How Insects Breathe.

If we take any moderately large
insect, say wasp or hornet, we can
see even with the naked eye, that a
series of small spot-like marks run
along either side of the body. These
apparent spots, which are generally
eighteen or twenty in number, are in
fact the apertures through which air is
admitted into the system, and are gen.
orally formed in such a manner that
no extraneous matter can by any pos
sibility find entrance. Sometimes they
are furnished with pair of horny lips,
which can be opened or closed at the
will of the insect; in other cases they
are densely fringed with stiff interlac-
ing bristles, forming filter, which
allows air, and air alone, to pass. But
the apparatus, of whatever charac-
ter it may be, is always SO wonderfully
perfect in its action that it has been
found impossible to inject the body Of
a dead insect with even 80 subtle a
medium as spirits of wine, although
the subject was first immersed in the
fluid and then placed beneath the re-
ceiver of an air pipe. The apertures in
question, which are technically known
as "spiracles,' communicate with two
large breathing tubes, or ''trache@, :"
which extend through the entire length
of the body. From these main tubes
are given off innumerable branches,
which run in all directions and con-
tinually divide and subdivide until a
wonderfully intricate network is
formed, pervading every part of the
structure and penetrating even to the
antennae and claws.-Good Words.

Frozen ADDle6.

1t is the general opinion that an ap-
pie once frozen is of but little value, in
fact, that it will be soft and lifeless;
but it is not 50, if it does not thaW too
rapidly, and is not disturbed until the
frost is entirely out. When it is dis
covered that barrel of apples has fro
zen, the usual practice is to remove
them to warm place, and sometimes
they are taken out of the barrel and
plunged into cold water. This is all
wrong. When an apple is frozen it
should be left undisturbed until it is
very certain that the frost is all out of
it. If the apples are in an open barrel
or box, they should be covered over so
as to keep them cool and in the dark;
but in doing so, care should be taken
not to touch the fruit, for wherever a
frozen apple is touched it will make a
soft place. In fact the simple rolling
of a barrel of apples over will ruin it.
In freezing, apples shrink so much that
a barrel will not be full by nearly
peck; in consequence of this, in rolling
a OdlACl ONCl ~ Olul ONOA oPPIIs
and every bruise will show when the
apple thaws, and will soon begin. to
decay.
When apples are frozen in tight
barrels, if they are not started until
entirely thawed out, it will not injure
them in the least, unless they chance
to be in the open air or where they will
suddenly thaw out. When under cover
in a tight room, or cellar, it frequent
ly requires several weeks for them to
thaw out. The second time an apple
freezes there is more danger of injury,
but under favorable conditions an apple
may be frozen and thawed three times
without injury.
The danger of freezing apples to keep
them is in having the frost leave them
too sudden. If one could have control
of the temperature, so as to freeze them
in the autumn, and have them kept
frozen until spring, there would be no
loss by decay, and a Rhode Island
Greening could be kept in good con-
dition two months after being thawed
out.-Mdss. Roughmdn.

The Smallest Republic.

The little Republic of San Marino is
enclosed in the kingdom of Italy. It
is bounded on the north, east and south
by the province Of Forli and the on west
by that of Pesaro. Its territory covers
about twenty-five square miles. The
population numbers $500 souls, and
the capital, San Marino, has: 200, It
is perched on the summit of noun
tain called Mount lillian, or the Giants,
which sometimes leads to this little
state being termed the Titanic Re-
public. Its origin dates from the
fourth century, and for heraldic bear
ings it has the following: Argent, three
strong towers, azure of three rocks on
the same; three curved flames, gules,
issue from the towers and crown them.
The motto is ''Libertas.'' The escut-
cheon is surrounded by crown, indi-
eating sovereign state. The repub-
lie has an order of chivalry, created in
1888, under the name of Order of San
Marino. 1t consists of Greek cross
with towers at the four angles, and in
the center a medallion with the arms
of the republic surmounted by crown
closed and suspended by striped blue
and white ribbon. These are the ma
tional colors.
In 1896 Bonaparte, after defeating
the Austrians, sent the celebrated
mathematician, Mongo, to compliment
the free mountaineers and make them
offers of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, but they
very politely and very prudently de-
clined. When Italy became a king
dom Napoleon desired to preserve this
small state intact. ''It is rare
sample of a republic to preserve, said
the Emperor. In 1849 Garibaldi,
driven from Rome by Gen. Ouidinot,
took refuge in San Marino, forbidding
his soldiers to do any harm to
the inhabitants. Victor Emmanuel not
only respected the liberty of the insti-
tutions of this little country, but al
ways showed it great sympathy, es-
pecially on his visit to Bologna at the
time of the Inauguration of the Ancona
railway in 1861. In 1862 a treaty of
customs and commerce was concluded
between Italy and the republic.
San Marino owes it's foundation to a
hermit of that name, born in Dalmatia
in the fourth century, and who went to
Italy to work as mason at the re-
building of the walls of Rimini.
Marino afterward took refuge in the
midst of the woods on Mount Titan,
and constructed there cabin in which
he ended his days. The place where
he expired soon became the object of
pilgrimages, and houses were built
there, which ultimately formed the
town of San Marino. The fete of the
saint is celebrated on September A.

Moro About Grants Final Resting Place

Moro About Grants Final Resting Place.
Ex-senator J. B. Chaffee says that at
the time Gen. Grant had the sinking
spell and was expected to die at the
Sixty-sixth street house, before his re-
moval to Mount McGregor, the mat
ter of bis burial was all talked over.
Gen. Sheridan came over from WASH
ington and advocated the selection of a
knoll at the Soldiers Home, Washing
ton. The General talked OF three
places-West Point, Galena and Wash
ington. He dropped West Point as
conflicting with the wishes of the vol
unteer soldiery. Galena was also
dropped after some discussion because
it was not sufficiently public. 1t was
agreed that he should be buried in
Washington, if Gen. Sheridan could
get the consent of the governors of the
Soldiers Home for Mrs. Grants inter-
ment there. This was subsequently
obtained. The decision met the ap-
proval of all of Gen. Grants old friends
Sherman. Badeau, Beale, George w.
Childs, and others. When Gen.
Grants death occurred Mr.. Chaffee
was in Denver and Gen. Sheridan was
in the West. Col. Fred Grant was in
duced by Mayor Grace and others to
secure his mothers consent to bury the
remains in Riverside Park. When she
first went there after the funeral she
found apple and pie-venders, picture
sellers, photograph and shooting gal
leries, and other surroundings taking
away the sacredness of the place, and
was sadly shocked. The failure to
raise funds here for a monument
which is due to the local belief that a
lot of land Spectators secured the
Riverside park selection and the express
sions of dissatisfaction.from the country,
has effected a wish on her part that the
Generals original desire might be car
ried out. 1t IS probable that congress
will request her to allow the removal
of the remains to Washington. The
request will be backed by the influence
of all the Generals friends, and Mr..
Chaffee says will be complied with. He
says 100000 can be raised for a
monument in Washington in ten days.
