THE NEW BILL.
Favorable Report ON the House
Retaliation Measure.

WASHINGTON, August 30.-The Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs to-day received
the report of the Sub Committee on the
Retaliation bill. The Chairman said
that in these questions the Committee
had always acted without regard to
partisanship, and he hoped it would con-
tinue to do. He referred to the fact that
the bill introduced by himself two years
ago, containing a restrictive railroad pro-
vision, had been adopted by the House
almost unanimously, though the railroad
section was subsequently stricken out in
the Senate.
The Committee unanimously adopted
the amended bill reported by the Sub
Committee. 1t is understood the bill
will be called up for action Saturday.
TEXT OF THE BILL.
Following is the text of the substitute
fisheries or retaliation bill:
Be 1t enacted, etc.:
That whenever the President shall
deem it his duty to exercise any of the
powers given him by the act entitled
"An act authorizing the President of the
United States to protect and defend the
rights of American fishing vessels,
American fishermen, American trading
and other vessels in certain cases, and
for other purposes" approved March 3,
1887, it shall be lawful for the President,
in his discretion, by proclamation to that
effect, to suspend, in whole or in part,
transportation across the territory of the
United States, in bond and without the
payment of duty, of goods, wares and
merchandise, imported or exported from
any foreign country from or to the Brit
ish Dominions in North America.
SECTION 2. Whenever the President
shall be satisfied that there is any dis
elimination whatever in the use of the
Welland Canal. st. Lawrence River,
in Canada, the Chambly Canal, or either
OF them, whether by tolls, drawbacks,
refund of tolls or otherwise, which is or
may be detrimental to the interests of
the United States or any of it's citizens,
it shall be lawful for the President in his
discretion to issue proclamation to that
effect; whereupon there shall be COL
lected toll of 20 cents per ton upon
every foreign vessel and her cargo pass
ing through either Sault Ste. Marie Canal
or st. Clair Flats Canal; and the Secret
ary OF the Treasury may authorize, and
direct any ofthe custom officers to collect
the tolls levied under this act. or the
President may in his discretion, when
satisfied there is any such discrimination,
prohibit the use Of said canals to any
such foreign vessel. The President,
when satisfied that such discrimination
has ceased, may issue his proclamation
to that effect in his discretion, whereupon
the toll authorized by this act shall no
longer be collected, and said prohibition,
if ordered, shall cease.
Soct;n,, rrovidoa that tho Socrotorr
of the Treasury be authorized to make
any regulations needful to carry this act
into effect.
THE ONLY POINT OF DISAGREEMENT.
At only one point was there anything
like a difference between the Demo-
cratic and. Republican members this was
upon proposition coming from the Re-
publican side, to the effect that courtesy
to Great Britain required that it should
be notified that Article 20 of the treaty Of

City and Township.
A Thronging Tide.

Every now and then there is a great
blowing of trumpets and clashing of
cymbals over the going over to the Re-
publican party of some pampered manu-
facturer who has been putting in his
time luxuriating in swollen dividends
and grinding the faces of his employees.
In almost every instance these converts
to Harrison and Morton are interested
parties, who are not content with
the legitimate profits of business,
and who are the provokers of the
strikes and the authors Of the lockouts
which are so disastrous to the working
man. The desertion of their party by
these men is thing very readily under
stood. Their pocket nerve is above
their political conscience, and they
put private gain above the public
good. At the same time it
is very significant circumstance
that in no case has Democrat who oc-
cupies position in either house of Con-
gress surrendered his affiliation with his
party. Not even one of the four Demo-
Gratis who voted against the Mills bill
has found it obligatory upon him to step
ont of the Democratic ranks. His differ
ences with his Democratic brethren were
founded upon expediency and local ext
gencies, and not upon principle.
How different is it with the Republi-
can party! The Hon. Ashbell P. Fitch,
. Republican member of the House of
Representatives. from the State of New
York, has found it impossible longer to
continue his adherence to the Republi-
can party. Mr.. Fitch's detection is
founded on principle, and he has given,
in letter to the Republican State Gen.
tral Committee of the Empire State, the
following clear and luminous exposition
of the reasons which have influenced
him in his striking new departure. He
says: ~
"The Republican party leaders have
determined to make a campaign in
which the expression of views shall be
described as free trade attacks upon
American industry and those who hold
them shall be credited with burning
desire to aid the British workingmen
WuOu tucy nave u6Vor S6ou aS against
their own friends and countrymen. Mr..
Blaine's keynote for the campaign, ap-
Piled to our district, is that we are from
now till November 10 accuse the Demo.
cratic and Revenue Reform business
men in Harlem, who in private life are
in partnership with us in all commercial,
charitable, social and religious affairs, Of
being engaged in conspiracy, inspired
by England, to ruin their own country
and degrade their fellow citizens.
II have no desire to take part in such
. campaign. fancy that England has
in this district about as many adherents
as China has, and that the voters who
will vote this fall in Harlem and York
vile for revision of the tariff are as
sincere friends of American industry as
any OF us are. And very much prefer,
il necessary, to be in minority for the
rest of my life rather than to make q
successful campaign on what seems to

fact that we are in the whitehead of a

The tariff question will soon be
fairly before the lower House OF
Congress. The indications are that
the Mills bill with some important
amendments will become law.
New York and Louisiana will be
placated and drawn to It's support
leaving Mr.. Randall's strength
so weakened that his opposition
cannot effect the final result. There
are some features in the bill, we
confess we do not like, and we hope

]. Thomas Scharf, the able COM
missioner of the land Office, has
favored us with copy Of bis report
for the year 1887. The commits
sioner has voluntarily assumed other
duties without expense to the State
than those imposed upon him by
the constitution, which are OF great
yalue to the State. He has formed
a nucleus for State Museum which
has grown to such dimensions as to
COMPEL him to ask the legislature
for more room, and suggests the
old library room in the State House
as suitable quarters. The commls-
sioner also proposes to establish q
bureau of immigration, necessarily
on a limited scale, but which VIII
prove of great benefit to the State.
1t is his intention among other
things, to show by statistical facts
the advantages Maryland possesses
to immigrants settling in this coun-
try, over the much boasted Western
lands and its Indictment climate.and
for this purpose takes very able
editorial article from the Baltimore
Sun newspaper, on the subject OF
"Maryland's Resources" and the
reports of the Suns correspondents
in each county in the State descrlp-
tive of the respective counties.
These papers will accompany his
replies to the numerous inquiries
made by people residing in all parts
of this country and in Europe, for
information as to the natural re-
sources of Maryland.
Mr.. Scharf is deserving OF great
credit for thus filling a long felt
want, which the Legislature has not
had the wisdom to supply IN any
benifcent form.

ALTHOUGH Senator Cameron has
said that he is not a candidate for

that he would harmonic the Re-

who has been suggested. The st.

1884 in Pennsylvania has undoubt
eddy endeared him to the Maine
statesman and his friends, while the
memory of his support Of Grant for
the nomination in 1880 would enlist
the Conklingites of New York &C
lively and enthusiastically in his
favor. With Conkling and Blaine
on the stump in his support, Cam

In 1864, he was given command Of the
cavalry corps of the Army of the Potomac,
and within 6 few months won great dis
tinction. In the summer of 1864 he was
given the command of the Army of the
Shenandoah, and his success with that army
was such that he was made brigadier
general in the regular army. In Novem-
ber of that same year he was still further pro-
NOTED by being made a major general in
the regular army. He joined the army of
Gen. Grant and was with him at the sur
render of Gen. Lee.
In June, 1853, he was assigned to the COM
mand of the military division Of the South
west, and soon afterward was transferred
to the department of the Gulf. In 1867 he
had command Of the Fifth Military district.
From there he was transferred to the de-
partment Of the Missouri, where he re-
manned until the spring of 1869. At that
time he was promoted to the rank of Lieu
tenant General, with headquarters at
Chicago. He then had command of the
Western and Southwestern military divis-
ions. In 1884, on the retirement of Gen.
Sherman, he succeeded to the command of
the army, his rank still being that of lieu
tenant geleral.
Gen. sheridan was taken sick in Wash
lngton several months ago, and for several
days during his illness there his life was

gress raising him to the full rank of ger
eral. This act he highly appreciated, and
it seemed to have beneficial eff set upon
him. He began to recover, and in the
course of week or two he waSable to be re.
moved to his seaside home on the MasSa
chusetts coast, which is known as Nonquitt.
This homo Gen. Sheridan began to build a

bracing air of the place would aid his re-
covery. He did improve for while, but

COMMERCE WITH CANADA.

No Truth in the Story That It's Suspen-
sion Has Been Decided On.
WASHINGTON, Aug 5.-There is no truth
in the published story that the President
has determined to declare non-intercourse
with Canada under the retaliation act in
case the fisheries treaty is rejected. The
President will not act in advance upon the
theory that the senate will be so 70 Jlish as
to reject the treaty, and if he should de-
termine now what he would do in that
event, he would wait until Canada gave oc-
casion for such an extreme measure as a
declaration suspending the great and
growing commercial intercourse between
the United States aud Canada. 1t is rather
amusing in this connection to see the alarm
expressed in republican newspapers lest the
President should do just what the republi.

BRICB HAS FULL SWAY.
Senator German to Take No Part In
the Campaign.
from The Cincinnati ENQUIRER.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
New York, Aug. 3.-Senator A. p.
German, the silent man of the democratic
party, has been here for two days posting
Chairman "Cal" Brice as to plans aud
movements for the coming campaign. Mr.
German believes thoroughly in one-man
power. He says that after the machinery
of organization has been perfected within
party lines, only one man can handle the
lever. In 1884 he allowed no Interference
from any quarter with himself and dictated
every point in the campaign. He is not
likely to interfere at the present time with
anything that Mr.. BrIce may undertake.
The stories about his intention to remain
here throughout the canvass, he pronounced
to-day to be wholly untrue. He is satisfied
with the experience in landing his man in
1884 and more than willing to be relieved
progress of Mr.. Cleveland. Senator Cor
man is fond of hunting, and gentlemen who
have been i'm the field with him say that
after he got his game IN the bag he never
cared what became of it, nor even to dis
cuss it after it had been prepared for the
table by the cooks.
Friends of Congressman w. L. Scott are
seriously alarmed over an illness with
which he was seized about three days ago,
and which prevented him from attending a
meeting of the democratic national com
mittee on Tuesday. 1t seems to be gem
eral breaking down, consequent on the
heavy strain TO which he has been subjected
in the last four years. He has gone TO the
summer cottage Of bis daughter, Mrs K. ii.
Townsend Of Philadelphia, at Elberon.
Senator German said to-day that it would
probably be five or six weeks before he
would bs able 10 come TO national head
quarters, and that he might possibly be
prevented from taking any active part in
