with careful regard to public feeling in this
country. have thought it my duty and also
the most effectual manner OF giving effect to
your suggestion, to make known to Lord Lans-
downe the purport of my correspondence with
you He is strongly deSlrouS of facilitating the
settlement, and will at once bring the matter
before the Secretary of State, with an express
sion of his hope that no time will be lost in
taking steps for establishing by means of per
sonal communications with your government, a
modus vivendi, sucn as you have described, and
also for arriving at an understanding in regard
to the lasting adjustment of our commercial
relations.
MAKING THE SUGGESTION.
In due course this correspondence reached
London and an intimation was given Secre-
tary Bayard that if he should formally pro-
pose such conference as he suggested to Mr..
Tupper the British government would
agree with great pleasure Secretary Bay
ard thereupOn instructed Minister Phelps to
propose to Lord Salisbury the appointment
of a minister plenipotentiary on behalf of
Great Britain to meet in Washington a
similar official of the United States duly au-
thorized by the respective governments to
treat of and discuss the mode
of settling all questions which
have arisen out of the fisheries on
the coasts of British North America, and
all other questions affecting the relations
between the United States and Her Britain

Should it be found necessary or expedient
to increase the number of representatives of
either party in the proposed negotiation it
can be done, and notice will be given to that
effect. Secretary Bayard wrote to Minister
Phelps inclosing a draft of the proposed
modus vivendi to be submitted to the Brit
ish government. This draft embodied a
declaration of the right Of American yes
sells to buy bait in Canadian ports, and that
each government send a national vessel to
the Gulf of st. Lawrence and the southern
coast of Nova Scotia during the fishing sea-
son, the officers in command to decide
jointly upon the merits of any seizure
These, and others of Secretary BaYards
propositions, were objected to by Lord Sails
bury, but in the subsequent correspondence
he finally accepted the proposition for a
conference, with the results already known
The New England men now say that the
fisheries treaty will be considered and re-
jected at this session, and that it will be-
discussed in open Senate. All the Republi-
can leaders are preparing to fay the ad
ministration. As one of them put it to-
night, they consider it a great chance to
make little political capital.

ALABAMA'S CONTEST.
Republicans Charge That Dead Men
Were Counted as Voting.


Were Counted as Voting.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The House to-
day took up the McDuff1e-Davidson contest
ed election case from Alabama. Mr.. Maish
of Pennsylvania. opened the case for the
contestee, and denying the statement made
in the minority report that the case ia-
volved no legal question, proceeded to dis
cu>s the legal bearings of the contest, as
well as the facts elected in the testimony,
which he cohtended were utterly insufficient
to prove the allegations of fraud made by
the contestant. The committee had given
fair and thorough consideration to the case,
and the majority had come to the conclusion
that the contestee (Mr. Davidson had a
clear majority over Mr.. McDuffie of $500
votes.
MIR. Simmons, of North Carolina, fol-
lowed with O brief speech on the same side
Mr.. Lodge, of Massachusetts, said the
case illustrated the advance of civilization
in the Fourth Alabama disGrict. Instead of
resorting to the jack-boot and sabre policy 4,
the Democrats had resorted to fraud upo n
the ballot box in order to overcome the
Republican majority. There was evidence
of general fraud throughout the district
while the poll lists of the Selma Precinct
showed that the 'sheeted dead" were made
to vote OF course they voted the Demo-
cratic ticket.
REVIEWING THE TESTIMONY.
He reviewed in detail the testimony taken
in regard to the votes given at the various
precincts to substantiate the charge of
fraud, which he declared was found to exist
wherever it was probed for. For the good
name of Congress, and in the name of hon
est elections. be believed the House should
reject the sitting member and seat the con-
teStant.
Mr.. Cultivate, of Ohio, congratulated
the Republicans as to the progress they had
made in their doctrine as to what should be
done with the negro vote. Heretofore they
had been satisfied to assume and declare
that tue negro vote belonged to the Repub-
lican candidates. But here they advanced a
step farther and asserted that the negro
vote must be cast for the Republican candi-
date, but not for a colored Republican. He
referred to the fact that the minority re-
port complained that while Turner, the
colored Independent Republican candidate,
did not receive 100 votes the returns had
given him 2,5l9 votes. He then proceeded
to speak in support of the majority report
Mr.. Rowell, of Illinois, briefly advocated
the minority report, and then the case went
over till tomorrow.
The House then adjourned.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Bv the associated Press.

New York, March 5.-To-day was a
memorable day in the history of the New
York Cotton Exchange. The days sales
AL 900 baes--were the largest ever recorded
in one day, and three times during the day
notices of suspension Of well-to-do members
were posted on the bulletin boards.
The market opened unsettled for
futures and from six to ten points below
Saturdays prices. After the opening sales
of 20 900 ba es the market became excited
and prices broke badly The panicky feel
ing became general and the market fell
away ten to twenty points below the open
ing prices. Since last Friday quotations had
thus declined fifty-one points, and as a re-
suit everybody was anxious 10 unload
NOT A BULL TO BE FOUND.
Not bull could be found on the floor,
and the suddenly converted bear brokers
became terrified. Somehow or other, how
ever prices worked up a peg OF so, but i'm
mediatey fell off when the first failure of
the day vas announced. The loss exceeded
the previous gain, and when the market
closed quotations we're at the lowest notch
of the day and almost 30 points below
Saturdays closing.
The suspensions announced during the
day were those Of William V. King, Of No.
l2S Pearl street; j. II, Garrison, OF No.
Old Slip, and George T. Dixon, Nos. and
Stone street.
M King told a reporter that his suspen-
sion was only temporary and that his lia-
bilities were about $4,000. He added that
his failure was very unexpected and was
due to u heavy customers failure to respond
TO his margin calls.
