ed a similar petition; also a bill to
amend the act granting pension to John
Etzel. Congressman Lind made good
speech to-day in behalf of the increased
clerical force for the general land office.
"Sam Randall is penurious and parsi-
monlous in appropriations" Mr.. Lind
said. Il desire to have clerk read the
following communication: Hon. John
Lind:
The present force in the contest di-
vision and the public lands division is
barely able to keep arrears from in
creasing. 1t would require eighteen
months in each of these divisions with
the present force to dispose OF the pres
ent accumulation if no other cases
came in. The recorders division is not
more than two months behind. In the
pre-emption division $1,000 cases are
pending. and the present force will dis
pose of about $4,000 cases a year. The
estimated number of cases received this
year is $4,000, an increase of 800 per
cent since 1880. 1t will require five
years to dispose OF the accumulation if
no other cases should be received.
S. NJ. SToCKsLAGER,
Commissioner"
MI. Lind then said: s'It is not fair
to the West nor to this country to cut
down the estimate made by the commits
s1oner and refuse his request for 100
additional clerks when that office now
has ON hand more work than it can do
in five years, and business is increasing
800 per cent. The poor devil living on
a contested homestead in Dakota must
wait four or five years to find if he can
hold his claim. 1t is outrageous. "

To HEAD UFF' IR SIS.
Democrats Are Considering the
Best Way to Do 1t.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The Demo-
cratic members of the committee on
ways and means has had under consid-
Grafton the amendment proposed by Mr..
Springer, of Illinois, to place upon the
free list such articles on the dutiable
list as are controlled as to fix their
product and price by trusts and COM
bination, but did not report upon the
subject to the caucus. 1t is understood
that the committee is adverse to the
proposition, although it recognizes the
necessity of legislation which will pre-
vent the perpetuation of the pool sys-
TEN. The argument against the Springer
amendment is that it will be prejudieial
to the interests of manufacturers of ar
ticles who have not entered into the
trusts. 1t is as yet undecided whether
the internal tax will be levied to the
full extent of the import duty, it being
considered by some that tax to the ex-
tent OF so per cent of the customs duties
will be sufficient to prevent the forma-
ton of combinations.

the right. Coming to the ninth article
OF the treaty, which declares that moth
ing in the treaty should interrupt or af-
feet the free navigation of the gut of
Canso by fishing vessels of the United
States, he declared that the gut of Canso
had never been closed in the history of
the world; that no nation ever dared to
close it or ever dreamed of closing it.
And yet the president of the United
States had congratulated congress that
atlaSt the straits of Canso were free and
"a year ago, in the United States SEN
ate and house of representatives we
were all for the rights of American citi-
zens; we were united to man. Nobody
dreamed of raising political issue in
this matter. Nobody talked as a party
man in relation to it. And where are
we to-day? The president of the
United States taking practically the
Canadian side of this controversy; the
secretary of state practically taking the
Canadian side of this controversy; the
great Democratic party of the nation
arrayed on the side of Canada and
against the American fishermen, / say
to you, Mr.. President, that a most
grievous wrong has been wrought by
this treaty-making. l say that these
steps which have been taken
CAN NEVER BE RETRACED;
that in the long future we shall never
be permitted to stand where we stood
only one year ago, when we claimed
here i'll the senate that we would defend
the rights of American fishermen
against Great Braitain or any other
power on earth. We have surrendered
that right. We have yielded it. We
have said Through the president of the
United States) in solemn language that
the treaty is just and fair and is all that
could be demanded by Us; and hereafter
and forever our mouths are closed.
Again declare that this treaty is dis
honorable, humiliating and cowardly

Mr.. Gray obtained the floor to make
speech upon the treaty; but its further
consideration was ION motion of Mr.
Beck, who said that he and other SEN
ators desired to attend the ST. Louis
conventiom postponed till Monday,
June IL. The motion to postpone till
December next was entered by Mr..
Morgan and is now pending. Motions
to publish the proceedings in executive

NEW YORK, May 29.-Charles E.
Gehring, Jr., son of a well-known
brewer in Cleveland, o., committed

THE MERRIAM PLATFORM.

There is striking unanimity among
the state papers in denouncing the pro-
lection plank inserted in the Repub-
can platform by the convention recently
held in this city. 1t is observable that
the Republican papers are as vigorous
in their denunciation of it, and nearly
as unanimous as the Democratic papers.
The exceptions are few and far be-
tween. This is not surprising, for as
it is clear as the MONDAY sun that popu-
lar sentiment in Minnesota, ire
spective of party considerations, is
practically unit in opposition
TO the protective tariff policy. The
only surprise is that a Republican
convention should have the temeritv in
the face of this well-known local senti-
ment to attempt to bring the Minnesota
wing of the party into line on the tariff
with the national party. According to
the opinion of the Republican press.
this piece of reckless courage on the
part Of the late state convention is
likely to cost the Republican party its
chance OF success in the fall election.
Now the question uppermost in the
Republican mind is, who is responsible
for this foolhardy venture of placing
the Republican party on record in op-
position to popular sentiment in this
state? The responsibility is sought to
be placed upon one of the three guber-
material candidates. Mr.. ScHEFFER's
friends acquit him by pointing to his
letter accepting the Farmers alliance

WASHINGTON, May 29.-Jefferson
Wright, of Wisconsin, recently resigned
the position of watchman in the post
office department, and the postmaster
general to-day appointed Frank P. Ben
nett, OF Minnesota, the we'll known
scout and chief of scouts, whose name
is dear to the memory of so many old
settlers on the frontier Although in
dorsed by the Democrats, this appoint
ment is due to the persistent work of
Congressman Macdonald, whose repu-
tation for getting there is now known
and recognized here as well as at home.
Congressman Rice has entirely re-
covered, and was at the house all day.
This evening he was hard at work again

DULY CONSECRATED,
The Methodist Conference CIOthe
the New Bishop With Full


Power.
New YORK, May 29.-Additional in
terest attached to the proceedings of
the Methodist general conference to-
day, in that BiShops-elect Vincent, Fitz-
gerald, Goodsell, Joyce and Newman,
and Missionary Bishop Thoburn, were
to be consecrated. The opera house
was beautifully decorated and every
seat was filled when Bishop Hurst called
the conference to order.
Rev. A. E. p. Albert led the devo-
tional exercises, after which the ques-
ton of changing the name of the Freed
mans Aid society, by adding to it ''the
Southern Educational society,"" was
taken up and caused heated discus
by DR.. Smart and Dr. Walsh, of
Kentucky. The majority report of
the committee on Freedman's aid,
which precipitated the debate advocated
the changing of the name, Freedman's
Aid Society of the Methodist church, to
the Freedman'S Aid and Southern Edu-
cational Society of the Methodist
church. The minority report opposed
the change on the ground that Freed
mans aid meant white and black, as Of
iginally intended, while Southern edu-
cation meant that the whites were to be
cared for at the expense of the blacks
The opposition claimed that discrimina-
tions had already been made in favor of
the white people of the South by the es-
tabllShment of universities at Chatta-
noooga, Athens and other places, and
that such favors ought not to be toler-
ated. An attempt was made to substi-
tute the minority report for the ma
JOrity, but on a vote being
tsH takenH, the minority report Gt' was ps'fs ia
bled by a vote OF 1S6 to 142
1t was finally decided to change the
name, as recommended by the commit
tee. After the ballot for secretary of
the board of education had been taken,
Hon. Warner Miller moved that the con-
ference attend in body the exercises
to be held at the tomb of Gen. Grant
tomorrow. The motion was adopted
without dissenting voice. Mrs. Grant,
who sat in one of the boxes, was visibly
affected by Senator Miller's remarks.
After brief recess the cOnse-
Grafton exercises began. The vast
congregation sang the hymn ''Morn-
ing Light Is Breaking" as
the bishops elect made their way to the
platform. Bishop Foster read the col
lect and was followed by Rev. Thomas
Burch, of New York East conference,
who read the epistle, Acts XXX. 17-35.
The gospel, John xxi, 15-17 was read by
Rev. Dr.. Alexander Martin. of the In
diana conference. Then began the
presentation to the bishops elect. The
examination was conducted by Bishop
Bowman. Prayers followed by Bishops
Morrill,, Andrews, Warren and FOSs,
after which the laying-on-of-hands was
proceeded with, all the bishops present
assisting. Prayer by Bishop Taylor, a

EDMUNDs' sCRUPLEs.
He Will Play the Part of Listener
in the Debate on the Fisherie S

III tnO DSOdtc ON the E1SherIGS
Treaty.
WASHINGTON, May 29.-It was ex-
pected that Senator Edmunds, who by
resolution of the committee on foreign
relations reported the fisheries treaty,
would have it in charge during the de-
bate, and the fact that the leadership
has practically been taken by Senator
Sherman and that the voice of the
senator from Vermont was not heard
upon a subject with which is so famiI-
lor in the cOllOquieS which closed this
afternoons debate, caused some sur
prise. The explanation is understood
to be that Senator EdmundS believes it
improper and unwise Ito use no stronger
term for the senate in the act of advis-
ing. the president, and especially upon
an important matter of diplomacy, to
do so in the presence of the public and
other party to the case. Though as
senting reluctantly to the will of the
majority and voting with his party for
open doors, he is understood to prefer
to take no public part in the proceed
lngs which he holds to be irregular.
