goat) IN the manufacture of mohair
plpshes for railroads and furniture. ALI
these goods have been imported until
about four years ago, when we began to
make them, and since that time several
other mills have been making mohair
plush for furniture. So the demand
for mohair, you can see. is very rap
idly increasing. Now, as your noun
ta.irns country and climate, as well as
that Of Oregon, is well adapted to the
Angora goat, we wish your people could
be made aware Of the growing demand
for pure article OF mohair We have
to import nearly all the mohair we are
using from Turkey. Although there is
little grown ia your State, yet the
most of it is Of low grade. We bought
some that was grown in Oregon of fine
quality, some time ago, and we are
now ready to buy one hundred thou
sand pounds OF same grade, and pay
forty thousand dollars for it. We hope
tue time will soon come when we can get
all our mohair, as well as our wool, from
home production. The importations of
both are very heavy at the present time
aud the outlook Just now points to a
great increase In the importations of
mohair. unless the manufacturers can
be supplied from home production. II,
however, the tariff is not disturbed, we
shall soon arrive at a time when all
the wool and mohair, as we'll as goods,
will be produced by our own country
men. and the profits Of tho same re-
main with our large American family.
There never was time when
we were approaching that time so
rapidly as now, and if any of your
friends are engaged in the production Of
mohair and will send a few million OF
pounds to New York or Boston the
coming year, it will find a ready sale at
full prices.

The Irish muddie.

LONDON, March l6.-Michael Davitt,
in a speech at Oxford, announced that
his idea Of Home Rule government was
that it would always be representative
OF the Crown and have the command Of
the imperial forces in Ireland; the power
of veto should be allowed the assembly,
which would consist Of three hundred
members, seventy or eighty Of whom
perhaps might not be Home Rulers.
The government should consist of the
Ministers of Finance, Land, Agriculture,
Local Government, Public Works and
Education, and should have control Of
the police, customs and excise depart
ments, without which it would be a
farce He believed that ireland would
not impose import duties.
The Ne,os says that Messrs. Chamber
lain and Trevelyan have written Mr..
Gladstone a statement of their views on
the land scheme. The Cabinet council
has consequently decided to postpone
any action likely to lead to dissention.
Ii is an honest effort without acerbity
on the part OF the majority and minori.
ty to arrive at solution for the welfare
of ireland. In the meantime Mr..
Chamberlain and Mr.. Treveiyan will
continue dischargiDg their duties.
Mr.. Trevelyan has invited the Scotch
members of Parliament to a council t
morrow on the crofters question.
Mr.. Chamberlain agrees to giving Ire
land home rule, but is opposed to buy
ing out landlords.
The present crisis will probably post
pone the date of Mr.. Gladstone's state
ment to Parliament on the Irish ques-
finn

Sr. LOUIS, March l6--Vice-Presidenl
Hoxie to-day received a dispatch from
Sedalia signed by Martin Irons, Chair
man OF the Knights of Labor, asking
when committee of the Knights Of La
Dor would be admitted to u conference
with him for the purpose Of adjusting
the pending troubles. To this Hoxie re-
piled that be could not see how such a
meeting would adjust the troubles, as
the reason for the difficulties was
the discharge Of an employe OF
theIroads under his control. Hoxie said
further, that the strike had SO far re-
dueed the traffic OF that road and il
would not soon again require as many
men as heretofore, but all good men de.
string employment, and who were ac-
ceptable to the superintendent, would
promptly be paid for services rendered,
and should they have any complaints he
would take pleasure in meeting them to
discuss the same.

rELronApn INVESTIGATION.
President of the western Union
nm the stand.


WAsHIEaroN, March l6.--The House
Postoffice Committee to-day heard Pres
ident Norvin Green of the Western
Union Telegraph Company upon the al
legged monopoly of telegraph facilities OF
the Pacific railways. He said that when
the Pacific roads were built the charters
contained provisions allowing the Over
land Pacific, California State and United
States telegraph companies to recon
struct or remove their lines, and it was
also stipulated that the roads might con-
tract with telegraph companies and au-
thorize them to establish telegraph lines
for public accommodation and use of
roads in lieu Of their own lines.
The Western Union now included
the Overland Pacific, California State
and United States Telegraph companies.
The United States Company, as absorbed
by the Western Union. had included the
United States Telegraph Company, the
Independent Telegraph Company and
the Inland Extension Telegraph Com
peuy. Therefore the Western Union
wires ran over the Pacific roads not by
the companies consent, but by its right
under act of Congress. There was no
doubt that the Pacific railways we're
bound to take messages from all COM
panies, nor was there any doubt that
they were prepared to do 1t. Their
Superintendent. MIR. Dickey, was in
the room and had told him lDr. Green)
that the railroad companies were always
ready to take any message offered by a
competing line. He said that what fig
ured the largest in this investigation was
that no other line had wire within 400
miles OF the Pacific roads. The whole
object Of this was to attack the Western
Union, a company that had raised money
aud built overland wires in time
of war when nobody else would under
take it.
MIR. Dougherty said it had been
complained that the Western Union
Disseminated ugainst other companies,
that it was a monopoly.
Mr.. Green replied that was
a question Of law and ti#
Western Union had nothing to do with
it. The railroads were at liberty TO
take anyDOuy uusiHess. Ii Opposiion
companies took business for points they
did not reach and transferred that busi-
ness to the Western Union. necessitating
two dates, the Western Union charged
them for the second date. They did
that in case Of individuals as
WE'LL In the matter OF rates the
Western Union did not propose
to allow those opposition companies that
did one-tenth of the telegraph business
to control the price OF the other nine
tenths. He would say frankly that the
Western Union had put up Mutual
Union to compete with the opposition
companies in the cheap rates, but it was
remarkable fact that the public was
not so anxious for cheap service as for
good service, The Western Union now
regretted that it had not ALLOW ed the
postal telegraph bill TO pass few years
ago, because it would have been like
the rest-it would have done no busi
ness. At this point the hearing was
postponed until tomorrow.

WASHINGTON.
Proceedings of the House
and Senate.
AFRAID OF MoRRow's BILL.
The Silver Bill Made o Continuing
Special Order By a Two
Thirds Vote.

Especial 10 the Herald bv the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March le.-In to-day 8
session Of the House Committee on For
eign Affairs the question came up on
motion by Mr.. Phelps to postpone the
consideration of such measures as should
give effect TO the suggestions in the
Presidents message that legislation
would be required to settle the complica-
tions with the Chinese government grow
ing out of the destruction of the lives
aud property of Chinese subjects.
A long discussion ensued, in which all
OF the members of the committee took
part. The Republican members voted
for postponement and with the aid oi
two Democratic votes, those Of Messrs.
Belmont and Worthington, succeeded in
carrying their point. 1t was urged
that it would be Illogical TO
consent to report the Morrow bill,
which looked only 10 an infraction OF
treaty obligations, when the committee
would be called upon afterwards to con-
slider Henley's bill, which proposed an
abrogation OF the treaty ia its entirety.
The Republicans also spoke in the in-
terest of Secretary Bayard's diplomacy,
which Mr.. Phelps said the Democrats
seemed rather to ignore or despse. He
was now left to make settlement with
foreign power in matter OF the great
est deIicacy--to satisfy China for the
murder Of some scores of her citizens.
To propose now any legislation not cal.
culated to appease the Chinese mind
would only add fresh complica.
tioDs to the treatment Of the main
subject at the State Department. The
legislation proposed was not calculated
to induce the Chinese Government to
accept measures of compromise and fair
redress, but were measures which would
certainly aggravate the feeling of animos-
ity and hostility which already existed.
II was thought to be unjust to the Sec
retary OF State that these measures
should be taken up until the hands of
the Secretary were loosed by the accom-
plishment Of something in the direction
of satisfying the claims OF indemnify
which bad been presented.

CONSUMPTION.

The earlier symptoms of this disease are
a sense OF weariness upon little exertion,
disposition to remain passive and idle, pc.
culiar sensitiveness to the effects OF cold
and shortness OF breath upon moving
quickly or ascending hill or stairs, slight
hacking cough, with or without expectora-
ton, hying pains throughout the chest or
back, or under the shoulder blades. The
symptoms are worse towards or during the
night, slight fever in the afternoon, cold
feet and hands, and in many cases blue liv-
idity OF the lips and roots of the finger nails.
The more advanced symptoms are wasting
of flesh, diarrhea, chills and fever, night
swests, expectorations of yellow pus from
the ulcers or cavities in the lungs, with or
without a depression of the chest, increasing
weakness and at last closing up OF the air
or suffocation OF the patient for want of
power to expectorate the mucus from the
lungs.

Sweetness of Cane and Beet su-
uar f,osu n n reN

As good deal of attention is being
attracted to the subject OF growing su.
gar beets in the country and as it is by
no means impossible that beet sssu
gar will be before long an important in
dustry in Los Angeles the following i,
clipped from paper called The Sugar
Beet devoted to that subject.
"We have on SO many previous occa-
sions compared the sugar extracted from
beets with that from the cane that we
think it unnecessary at present to enter
into further discussion. Suffice it te
say that the leading chemists through
out the world consider the two sugars
identical when of the sspe degree oi
purity and refined by similar methods.
Thousands OF tons of beet sugar
annually enter into consumption in this
country, and after it leaves the refiner-
les chemistry is not sufficiently advanced
to detect difference between it and the
article frem the tropical cane. Argu
ments relating to the degree of sweet
ness of the two sugars (sucrose and be
tose) are but loss Of time, SINCE no stand
ard exists, and comparison is, therefore
impossible. II an instrument could bt
devised with this idea in view it nigh
possibly show that if difference exist:
it was in favor of the beet.
