to Tue BEE. Edward Cal Candy, an agent
of large wine firm IN San Francisco, who was
arrested yesterday on a complaint of embez-
element Of the FIRMS money, is none
other than Count Edward Calcagni, who
eloped with Miss Isabelle Freddy, a young
lady of Worcester square in July, 1885.
Calcagni boasts of a long line of Italian an
c~estors, is a member of one of the oldest and
most powerful families in Rome. The
lady eloped while pursuing her studies in
Rome. Thu count followed her to America,
courted her, and tried to get the consent Of
her parents, who are very rich, but not unsuc-
cessfully. When she eloped they were cap
tured, brought back and forgiven. The
ceremony as the count was a Catholic, was
performed over again at the cathedral at
Boston with much ceremony. The manager
of the San Francisco house was continually
receiving orders from Calcagni, but received
no orders in return. He went east finally,
and captured him here with the aid of In
spector Byrnes. His aristocratic conn &C.

MORSE ECO

reduction of taxation should be made upon
necessities. But recognizing differences of
opinion upon that subject the committee had
dealt with both subjects. He would have
hesitated to vote for the bill if he believed
that it would result in the destruction of a
single industry, but he believed it would
benefit all of hem" Quoting John Sherman
he said that the time had come when the
pledge implied by the passage of the act of
1864 should be redeemed. Labor did not
fear competition with the pauper labor of
Europe, but did fear the creation Of paupers
by our laws. The home market, he said, is
improving and has been improving and will
continue to improve under any sys-
1 Increase 81 t Of popula aions wealth w1ia a she
and distribution in this country. In place of
restricting this market he wanted 1t enlarged
80 that this product, which cannot be con-
sumed here, can find a market among people
elsewhere, What the American farmer
wants is a home market in which he can
purchase his supplies as cheap as his com
petitors. When he can't get this, then ne
asks that there may be such a system as will
them, without being unreasonably fined for
carrying on this business. We
want not only home markets but the markets
of all the world for the variety of products of
this great country. We want to remove as
far as we can the barriers which annoy our
industries SO that this country may take
its place with the great commercial
countries of the world and become rich and
powerful as no other country has before.
Mr.. Carlisle thanked the committee for the
attention with which il had heard HIM, and
explained that he had undertaken to speak
under considerable difficulties. II was gen
orally reported that he was far from well,
and he appeared to be much fatigued at the
close of his speech.
Arrangements were concluded this after
noon nv which the tariff hill will hp laid
aside for a week or ten DAYS and the house
will proceed with the consideration of appro.
priation bills. 1t is the general understand
ing that this concession was made by MIR.

The Vanderbilt Affair.

New YORK, May l9.-[Special Telegram
to THE BEE. THE most surprised man In all
Staten Island yesterday was Jacob Wander
bilt, whose wife Mary got a limited divorce
and alimony. Vanderbilt was found at the
handsome residence of his father, Captain
Jacob H. Vanderbilt. He:said: II have not
been able to sleep thinking over the thing,
trying to avoid publicity of the disgraceful
story which would reflect upon my children.
l will go away somewhere where l am not
known, for / can never hold up my head
again" Friends of the Vanderbilt family
promise that when the case comes to court
some exciting revelations of the old family
closet will be overhauled, and the skeleton
brought to light. Dark rumors are vaguely
thrown out connecting prominent names with
Mrs. Vanderbilt.
