CHICAGO, June 19.--Dr. Smith, Of the
eye and ear department of the county
hospital, has performed the second opera
ton of grating portion of a rabbits
eye ON that of a human being. The
patient was the same unfortunate child
upon which the first grating was success
fully made several weeks since. Not yet
year old the little thing WINS threatened
with the bursting of both eyeballs. They
protruded in a conical shape before the
operation, the corners or outer covering
being also Opaque. The first operation
was successful in that it saved the eye
from destruction, but the engrafted strip
has become opaque-the experience of
every former operation. To-day strip
was taken from the other eye and re.
placed by one of similar shape from the
eye of a living rabbit, which had been
rendered insensible and was killed before
il revived to realize its loss. The opera
ton was again apparently successful, but
under existing conditions the sight can
not be restored. 1t is hoped by oculists
that a method will yet be devised for
preserving the transparency of the trans
planted cornea.

A Heport that ne Esas one Ready
IN BGfer.

20 Ohhers
The New York Royalds Washington
correspondent writes, under Tuesdays
date:
Mr.. Randall has his tariff bill nearly
ready tonight, and may offer it to the
House tomorrow, though there may be
parliamentary difficulties in the way on
TINT day, which may compel him to put it
of until next Monday.
But the bill is ready, and Mr.. Randall
is ready and anxious TO put IL before the
House without delay, and il will be the
fault of his opponents, and not his, if
there is delay.
Mr.. Randall says the bill as ii will be
offered to the House by him will reduce
the revenue about nine and half mill
ions, but that the system on which IL is
| planned can be used hereafter, ut the next
session, TO effect q further reduction Of
80 millions.
The Hewitt administration measure,
| with some notifications, is made part Of
the Randall bill.
The treasury departments suggestions
about the duties on silks, gloves, cotton
laces and embroideries are also in sub
stance embodied in the bill.
| Wool and worsteds are put together,
and there is new classification in wool.
The wool duty is not lowered, but a
clear distinction in duty is made between
washed and secured woods, so as to pre-
vent fraud by entering secured as washed.
Alcohol used in the manufacturing arts
is made tax free. This is in accordance
with bill originally prepared by Mr..
Morrison.
Steel rails are reduced from $17 to $13
and there is general reduction all
through the iron and steel list, except;
Tin plate, which is put at 81 cents a
pound-a very heavy inorease-and cotton
ties, which also are heavy raised.
Mr.. Randall says if the House wants TO
protect these industries he has put the
rates at thorough protective point. If
it does not want those rates he thinks the
duty ought TO he taken of entirely, us the
revenue from the present rates is not
needed, and there would be no revenue to
speak of Mt the rites he offers.
He has put an additional duty Of Eve per
cent on ready made clothing.
Rough lumbers, bristles and jute he
puts on the free list also lumber sawed,
clapboards, slaves aud pickets.
Zinc in sheets is reduced half cent,
and worn out zinc about the same. There
is reduction on starch and on animals
of all kinds.
Beer and whisky are untouched.
The internal tax on tobacco he repealt
entirely, and provides rebate of the TAI
paid on all unbroken packages now il
dealers hand.
The Democrats who voted with Mr.
Morrison last Thursday had conference,
this evening at which II was determined
that Mr. Morrison should offer his bill
again tomorrow ii there is fairly full
house. If not he will not do so. 1t wa
then agreed that committee of one Nor
rison Democrat from each state should b
appointed by the speaker, he to be chair
man of it, and this committee should de
termine on the course of that part Of tn
party hereafter on tariff measures.

DEYOUNOING THE KNIGHTS.
A Pastoral Letter from Eleven Que-
bec RishODh.

MONTREAL, June 2l.-The pastoral let
ter issued by eleven bishops, which was
read in all the Catholic churches yester-
day, referring as it does to the Knights
of Labor, has created great excitement
among members of that organization. A
large portion of the pastoral is devoted to
the denunciation of Free Masonry and
other secret societies, but the most i'm
portant part of the letter is that referring
to the Knights of Labor, which is rs fol.
lows;
Besides these societies, there are other
forbidden ones, which must he avoided
under penalty of grievous sin, and among
these must be remembered especially those
which impose on their members secret
which Is 10 ba made known to no one, and
nm unreseryed obedience TO hidden leaders.
Such is in particular the society known us
the Knights Of l4abor,which the sacred con-
gregation of lnquisitlon has declared must
be classed among societies condemned by
the Holy See. Under the preteXt Of protect
ing poor workingmen against the rich and
mighty, who would Cypress them, the chiefs
and propngators of these societies try ia
raise themselves In the world and to become
rich at the expense of these oftentimes toe
credulous workingmen. They sound very
high the honey-coatcd words OF mutual
| protection and charity" so rs to keep theil
victims In continual agitation and foment
riots, disorder and injustice.
In view of this pastoral, French Cana
dian members of the Knights of Labor
shy that nearly all of the Catholic mem
beers will obey the injunction of tn,
bishops and leave the brotherhood, but
it is said, another organization for mutua
protection, having the same objects as thu
knights of Labor, but on different basis
and without having secret organization
will be formed.

The Democratic county executive COM
