Why do the men tavoring Dubois,
who claims that he is opposed to annex
alton, charge that Haley also is opposed,
when his public acts upon the question
in congress belle such statement, and
his re nomination and the re endorse
ment, by the Bellevue convention, Of his
record in this congress, includes this
question, and no public word or act of his
in congress or in this territory is shown
that he has changed his mind 1t will
require more than this mere assertion
OF political enemy, to convince voters
that he has been untrue to his pledges
made to us upon the question two years
ago. The people require more than the
mere assertions of political enemy t"
our measure Of annexation to produce
conviction of his bad faith to the North
in this matter. tt not consistent with
his known character throughout the
territory during long series of years,
and no just Inference can be proven from
his language or acts, either public or
private, that he has intended q deception
or fraud upon the voters of the North or
of the South in regard to his true posi-
tion, upon this question. We don't
doubt the ositipn and language of Mr..
Dubois when he tells us plainly and
publicly that he is opposed to our annex
alton, and why should men attempt to
charge that Mr. HALEY is using deception
when his record is fair and open and no
statement of his enemies is sustained by
his record since he was elected in 1884,
and no evidence is produced that he has
changed his mind or his purpose upon
this question. Then why slur him and
intimate that he will 90 back on his
pie lges made to US two years ago, as
especially when the convention, which
nominated him at Bellevue, endorsed his
record ia congress upon the question
1t is unmanIy and MT worthy of the con-
sideration of any honest man, till there
be proof at hand that he has been sailing

decertive colors. That Mr.. HALEY will

Principal Selling OF Stocks for the Past

further decrease in the volume Of business

there was further buying by the Chicago
bull party, and Northwestern In particular
was remarkable for the strength displayed,
especially in the early hours II Is becom-
ing recognized that most OF the selling Of
the past week has been for London account,
and the question In the minds OF strangers
is whether the present bull party will be
able to absorb the stocks thrown on this
market or not. Drawers Of exchange made
to-day an advance in their rates, which can
only be accounted for by the sales OF secur-
tiles in this market, us our exports have
been larger Of late than for some time pre-
vious. Northwest was the strongest stock
on the list, pr imaiily on the buying by the
Chicago party, aud sec ondly on the proN-
unity OF the next dividend, which Vice
President Sykes says will be 3 per cent.
st. Paul, though much more active than
its sister stock, was sold heavily by London
this morning, and barely held It's own

TO lift Erie on the circulation OF story that

THE TREATY WITH MEXICO.
Adverse Report Upon the Bill Intended

Adverse Report Upon the bill Antenueu
to Carry Into Eneot tho so-Caiicd
Reciprocity Treaty of 1888.
The ways and means committed yester-
day decided by vote of 10 to TO report
adversely upon the bill to carry into effect
the commercial treaty with Mexico. In It's
report to the House, submitted yesterday
by Mr. Maybury, the majority Of the com
mittee says:
u viii be seen at a glance that the treaty, II
iuoh IL can be rightly called, Is Of exceedingly
limited scOpe II liz exclusively commercial in
us text and without political Significance. II
is the exchange OF certain specified articles OF

but studiOusly preserves the right OF either to
act with perfect independence and In the oil.
rection which seems to conserve the best In
terestS OF either.
In conclusion, the majority refers to the
report OF j. Evans, special agent OF the
treasury, as clear presentation Of the OBJ
stacles which stand in the way OF fair and
just trade In Mexico under her present
tariff system, and as illustrating the utter
futility OF ondeavoring to establish salts
factory or free commercial relations with
her by treaty so long as such n system
exists.
Mr.. Hewitt submits q minority report
recommending the enactment OF the House
bill intended to carry into effect this So
called treaty Of reciprocity between the
United States and Mexico. After short
argument In support OF the proposition
that commercial treaties dealing with reve-
nue. questions cannot be carried into effect
without Affirmative action Of the legisla-
tive branch Of the government, Mr..
Hewitt says:
We cannot expect that the prejudices Of a
| century will disappear in II day. That Mexico
| Is ready to open her gates to our highways and
| 10 offer us free exchange In any comm )ditic5
| II as surprising as It Is creditable TO her in
| teligenCe, That We should hesitate to take
advantage of this enlargement Of the area OF
| freedom, and of this new field for the exercise
| Of our energies and the disposition of our
| products is simply to declare ourselves guilty
| of the stupidity and preiudices which we have
| been in the habit of charging upon others, and
| this net Of folly would be committed ut time
| when We so much need new and larger markets
for The surplus products Of industry.
Mr.. Hewitt is alone in his views as above
expressed, the other members, with the ex-
ception Of Messrs. Reed and McMillin, having
signed the report presented by Mr.. Maybury.

NEW RAILWAY PROJECTS.

Tho Contemplated Road Along the
Potomac River, From Piedmont to
Cumberland-Other Enterprises for
Development of the Country.
Ex-senator II. G. Davis, OF West Virginia,
says, in relation to the contemplated new rail-
road from Piedmont to Cumberland-the
Piedmont and Cumberland Rallway-the
necessary surveys are now being made with
view to permanently locating the line,
which Is to begin at the West Virginia
Central railroad junction, about a mile
west of Piedmont, aud follow the Potomac
river to Cumberland, a distance of about
% miles. The new road will not be In tho
interest of either the Baltimore and Ohio or
the Pennsylvania; 1t is purely business
enterprise, mainly in the interest of the
West Virginia Central Railroad, and the
development OF the country II will pene-
trate. Continuing, Mr.. Davis said;
The West Virginia Central wants competing
outlets TO successfully market the rich prod
ucts OF the country II has opened up, and,
with this connecting link to Cumberland 1t
would have choice of three competing lines
Of transportation, viz. the Baltimore and
Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad systems, and
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal. 1t Is true
this road will parallel the Baltimore and Ohio
part of tho way, but that is oiten done to
reach competing points. Ii the situation were
reversed and the Pennsylvania road reached
Piedmont, while the Baltimore aud Ohio
stopped at Cumberland, 1t is likely that we
would want connection with the Baltimore
and Ohio, as we now do with the Pennsylva.
mia. We expect to give all three lines of
transportation Mt Cumberland a fair share Of
our business, providing, of course the rates of
freight are equal, and they treat US In II fair
and just way.
AS soon as the times shall become more
favorable, and business will warrant It, we
expect to eXtcrd the West Virginia Central
| enthusiastically through West Virginia SO as
| to connect with the Chesapeake and Ohio sys-
| TEN. II is about sixty miles from Piedmont
| TO Davis, the present terminus of the West
| Virginia Central road, and about 40 miles
from Davis to the Chesapeake and Ohio road
| and we can reach connection by going down
| either the Greenbrier, Gauley, or Elk river
valleys. If the latter route, which Is little
the longer, he chosen, 1t would bring MS to
Charleston, the capital of the state. There Is
no railroad, by the way, for hfly miles on
either side of this contemplated conn ,etion,
and the road would run nearly its whole route
through coal and iron territory, covered by q
virgin forest of finest timber.
