WASHINGTON CITY, Feb 2i.-Mr. John
Z. Searles, Jr., one of the government com
missioners who visited the Sandwich islands
to gather information regarding the work
ing of the Hawaiian sugar treaty, has, at
the request Of a ub-Committee of
the ways and means committee, made
report in which he opposes a re-
newal of the treaty. His reasons are that
this country has lost an enormous revenue
which has gone into the pockets of few
planters and speculatorS; that the treaty has
not, as intended, benefited American con
sumers OF sugar, while it has brought Haw-
Allan sugar into direct competition with our
own product, and, thirdly, that the treaty
has demoralizel the native population of the
islands, introduced an Asatic population,
and weakened American influence in Hawaii.
The report bitterly denounces Claus Spreck-

THE fact that the Woman Suffrage bill
has reached its third reading in the
British House of Commons without meet
ing with a particle of opposition has
aroused no little comment in England, and
many express confidence that the meas
ure will be passed, though 1t Is generally
conceded that some strong opposition
will be developed when it comes up for
final consideration. As the bill has never
before reached such an advanced stage OF
progress, it is natural that its friends
should be correspondingly elated. The
news will no doubt bring Joy and com
fort to the hearts of those who have so
long but 50 uusuccessfully agitated the
question in this country.

FOLLIES OF FASHION.

New York is nothing if it does not rush
to extremes The prevailing craze just
now in fashionable society is decollcte
dress, and each lady is trying to outstrip
all the rest The result is something ap>
palling. William Winter, the dramatic
critic, declares that the boxes at the opera
look like bath tubs. Another young
man who attended fashionable dinner
party. on being asked what the ladies
wore said he did not look under the table
to see The stage has caught the infec-
ton. The country shuddered when the
BLACK Crook was first brought out but
the dresses in that famous spectacle are
said to be modest and proper compared to
those that now greet the vision of theatre
goers What there should be in the
anatomy of female bust that demands
such a liberal exposure is beyond the ken
of the ordinary man. The unhappy fe-
males who thus pander 10 n base and de-
PRAYED taste are the worst sufferers. The
crop of colds, catarrh and consumption
was never so great, while the ravages
that pneumonia makes among the ranks
OF the fashionable world is something
awful Society DISCUSSES it under the
name Of heart disease. but where one
person dies of this malady, pneumonia
sweeps off hundred. Ii people are
such. fools as to dress in this outlandish
fashion in this cline and with such ter
rible winter as we are having perhaps
the best thing that can happen TO them is
to die, The sudden exposure of society
in this way is due to the Princess Louise,
who, when she was in Canada, endeav>
ored to establish vice regal court, and
imposed upon the ladies the fashion Of
low>necked dresses. New York, in its
English craze, eagerly caught at the idea.
If it was rumored that at the English
court the noble danes went entirely
naked, such is the folly of would-be lead
ers of fashion in our metropolis that there
is but little doubt they would be eager tC
follow their example. What fools all so.

upon Senator Jones, of Florida, who has
been absent during the present session, and
invited him to return to Washington with
them. He replied that he was not yet ready
TO return, and did not see why he should
hurry back. He had devoted himself assid.
uously to his senatorial duties for ten years,
and could not understand why he should
not now spend some time in relaxation and
recreation without criticism. Senator Ed
