Bullet touched was the section prohibit
ing the issue of free passes except in
special cases where the applicants fol
them are poor and worthy. He con-
sidered it bad policy to leave this section
in the bill as it stood. Let the law
stand as before or make it posi-
lively prohibitory against the issue
of any pass. Railroads were expect
ed to do everything that they are
allowed, and this provision would
be greatly abused in addition to forcing
the railroad authorities to pass upon the
condition of the applicant.
Some one suggested that all members
Of the General Assembly might come un
der this head OF "poor."
INVESTIGATIONS.
Mr.. Bullett's fourth and last objection
was to the twelfth section. allowing the
commission to invoke the courts to com
pei the attendance and testimony o.
witnesses and the production of any pa
per before the commission as evidence.
Mr.. Eddy, vice-president OF the Nor
folk and Western, next spoke and closed
the discussion. He enlarged in some re
spects on what had been said by Mr.
Bullet, and stated that in his opinion
the law left in the Revised Code is q fal
better one than this would be if passed.
IT'S PROSPECTS.
Mr.. Mcdonald moved that the com
mittee rise and some one offered ar
amendment providing for another meet
ing Thursday night. Several member
of the committee expressed desire tt
read the papers presented in connection
with the bill.
Mr.. Moore was in favor OF immediate
action. He believed that waiting untl
Thursday night to consider the bil
would mean not getting it before the
Senate at all. He wanted the bill 70

Republican Conventions.

The New York republican state conven-
tion elected Frank Hiscock, Warner Miller,
Chauncey NJ. Depew and Thomas @. Platt
delegates-at-l large to the Chicago convention.
No instructions There was tumultuous
cheering for Blaine and Depew. The dele
cation from the state as whole is for
Blaine, if his name comes before the con-
vention. There are number of Depew
men, however, and Depew is almost the
unanimous choice in case Blaine is out
- At the republican convention in
Colorado the following delegates to Chicago
were elected: Messrs Donaldson, Hammll,
Howbert, Henderson, Wingate and o. II.
Wolcott. They are for Blaine if necessary.
- The Nebraska republican state con-
vention elected John NJ. Thurston, Patrick
Egan, George w. Hest and r.. A. Noroal
delegates to the Chicago convention. They
are uninstructed but favor Blaine. -
The Minnesota republican state convention
was divided in sentiment between Blaine and
Gresham, but the delegates elected are for
Gresham first. 60 The West Virginia re-
publican convention elected delegates. No
instructions, but the majority favor Blaine.
- The Missouri republicans elected
the following delegates-at-large Chaun-
cey l. Filley of st. Louis, ID. p. Dyer of St.
Louis, William Warner of Kansas City,
James III. Pelham (coloredD of Hannibal.
The delegates were not instructed, although
resolution complimentary to General
John b. Henderson was adopted. ===
The fifth Minnesota district elected two
Gresham delegates. The fourth Minnesota
elected one Gresham and one Alger dele

customs duties. Its provisions regard
ing the seizure of American vessels are
no more than statement of what the
laws and conduct of any administration
of every government protesting to be
civilized should adopt and exercise as
an act of duty and justice. Instead of
diminishing sources of irritation and
causes of difficulty, different interpreta-
tons and disputes will, the committee
thinks, very largely increase them. In
conclusion, the report expresses the
hope that the British government will
see the justice and propriety of ac-
cording to American fishing vessels the
same rights and facilities that are
cheerfully accorded to British vessels
in the ports of the United States.

England Disturbed.

All England is just now excited on
the subject of the national defences of
the kingdom, which has of late pro-
voked considerable discussion in par
Lament. The government gives out
officially that the country is not in
danger, but many well-informed people
agree with the view recently expressed
by General Wolseley that the depart
ments in charge of the military and
naval defence are incompetent. Allega-
tons are made that England does not
possess a single repeating rifle or field
gun of any use; that her magazines are
filled with obsolete shot and shell
that the infantry is armed with worth
less weapons, and that the whole sys-

The Fisheries Treaty.

The report of the majority of the
the fisheries treaty, which recommends
its rejection, puts the administration in
an unfavorable light, and not without
good reason. 1t is shown that no step
was taken by the president to suspend
commercial intercourse with Canada in
retaliation for the outrages committed
upon American fishermen, though eX-
press power was given him by act of
congress, but the course taken by him
resulted in yielding the most funda-
mental and important of the rights
claimed by the Americans. The treaty
was completed without the advice of
congress being asked and the dangers
of this method are set forth. The re-
port says: {" 1t is not difficult to see
that in evil times, when the president
may be under the influence of foreign
and adverse interests, such course of
procedure might result in great dis
aster to the interests and even the
safety of our government and people"
The conclusions of the majority of
the committee in regard to the char
acter and merits of the treaty are
summed up in fourteen paragraphs.
They say that the treaty proposes to
abandon forever to Great Britain all
the great bays along the British North
American coasts, although the United
States ought not to give up, on any
consideration whatever, the right of its
vessels of every character to visit and
carry on business in any part of the
public seas. The treaty surrenders
claims and rights which have existed
for more than century and puts in
place of these rights which, in respect
of British fishing vessels, exist in the
United States to the fullest extent,
greatly restricted and conditional rights
arising solely from present grant of
Great Britain. Itprovides that general
and limited commercial rights and
rights of transhipment shall be obtained
only at the price of exempting all
Canadian fishery products from oul

gates for Blaine. The third Minnesota dis
trict elected one Blaine delegate and one
with no expressed preference. The Ten
nessee republican state convention elected
legates-at-large, who declared themselves
for Blaine. 80 Virginia republicans split
into two conventions. The Malone faction
elected delegates that are claimed for both
Sherman and Blaine. The Wise and Rid
dleberger faction also elected delegates.
- The Dakota republican territorial
convention elected delegates to Chicago, all
but one for Blaine. =- Alabama republi-
cans instructed their delegates for Blaine.
- The Maryland republican state con-
vention elected an unhedged delegation,
but all are pronounced for Blaine. =
Delaware delegates are not instructed, but
favor Blaine.

Cleveland's Candidacy.

The democratic machine is every
where at work to make Cleveland's
nomination a certainty. Some demo-
Gratis who are not friendly to Mr.. Cleve-
land have INDUCED in the hope that
with the help of the two-thirds rule his
nomination might be prevented, but
this is evidently a vain hope. All of
the democratic conventions thus far
held to elect delegates to the st. Louis
convention have been under the con-
troll of federal oflice-holders acting I'M
der dictation from Washington. Prob
ably no president has ever resorted to
such unlimited and arbitrary use of
executive power to secure a renomina-
ton. He will get it, too, in spite of
the opposition within his own party
The Albany Times, an anti-Cleveland
democratic paper, does not abandon
all hope that Cleveland may share the
fate of President Pierce, who sought a
denomination and felt quite sure of
getting it. 1t says: Probably no
president ever counted so surely and
serenely on a denomination as did
Franklin Pierce in 1856. Except in
New York state there was not a MUIR
muir of dissent as to his policy. Every
thing was serene in congress, where
John G. Breckenridge championed his
cause. Everything was harmonious in
his cabinet, where Mr. Marcy sat along
side Colonel Jefferson Davis. All the
daily papers employed political prophets
to forecast his fortunate destiny. The
two-thirds rule of previous democratic
conventions was to be overturned with
contempt. Everything would be done
by unanimous reclamation. When the
anti-Pierce men from New York arrived
in Cincinnati they were viewed as
idiots escaped from some house of the
feeble-minded. But they went steadily
to work and found sympathizers in
quite unexpected quarters. 1t was
soon settled that the two-thirds rule
would be retained. Then the problem
of the anti-Pierce men was to obtain
one-third of the delegates and one
delegate more. 1t was an active con-
test. AT last the convention admitted
to seats one-half of each New York
delegation. This split the state vote
into two fragments, which neutralized
each other. When the balloting began
Mr.. Pierce had majority of all the
votes cast. But he never got two
thirds. Mr.. Buchanan eventually got
two-thirds and was nominated. If
ever there was an occasion on which
the two-thirds rule could have been
overthrown in a democratic presiden-
tial convention, that was the one"
We must doubt if history repeats itself
in this case. There will probably be
no division in the New York delega-
ton, and the opposition to Cleveland
in the democratic ranks in other states
seems wholly powerless to effect a
combination against him.

Notes and Opinions.

A New York Press reporter claims to
have interviewed Mr.. Blaine in Paris,
and says that he abides by his Florence
letter.
THE Boston Record thinks it is dull
day when the democratic papers do not
invent some new story about Mr..
Blaine.
WHY is it that the mugwump and
democratic journals are so anxious
that the republicans should nominate
Gresham at Chicago?
A CURIOUS feature of the Indiana
boom for General Harrison at Chicago
is to be an organization known as the
Tippecanoe Club Jagged men who
voted for William Henry Harrison as
President.
THE democratic papers for the fifth
or sixth time are recording Randall's
downfall" But Mr.. Randall continues
to hold his own pretty well, though,
unlike the majority of his party, he is
not subservient to British interests.
ROBERT II. CoUDRY of Chicago has
been nominated for president by the
united labor party at Cincinnati and
Belva Lockwood has been nominated
for the same office by another small
party out West; all of which is respect
fully submitted.
GRESHAM is doomed chiefly by the
papers that supported the third-term
movement in 1880 and another term
for Arthur in 1884, and by anti-Blaine
republicans and mugmumps generally.
If Mr.. Blaine is not nominated at Chi
cago it is quite safe TO say that Blaine
man will be.
IT is becoming apparent that the
presidential nomination at Chicago will
be largely determined by the sentiment
of the doubtful states-New York, New
Jersey, Indiana and Connecticut If
so the ticket will probably be Blaine
and Harrison or Depew and Harrison.
1t would seem wiser to take the candi-
dates from the doubtful states.
The constitutional amendment pro-
posed by Congressman Stewart of Yer
mont-to enable majority vote to
override presidents veto-will hardly
find much favor with rejecting men.
| Such an amendment would not only
destroy the veto power but it would
destroy one of the most important
checks and balances of the Constitu-
tion.-NaShua Telegraph.
AT a meeting of the Indiana delega-
ton to the republican national conven-
ton the sentiment expressed was
unanimously in favor of General Harri-
son, and every delegate pledged his
hearty and unfagging support to Indi-
ana's choice. 1t has been agreed that
Governor Porter shall present General
Harrison's name to the convention, and
he has accepted the trust.
Now that nearly all the delegates to
the republican national convention have
been chosen the arithmetic men are
getting in their work. 1t is estimated
that, though Blaine may not be for
mally put in nomination, he will have
from $50 to 800 votes on the first bal
lot and Sherman will get about $50.
If to the votes counted for Blaine be
added those sure for Harrison, Depew
and Phelps, it will be seen that the

tenn of defence would not stand against
any vigorous foe. Lord Salisbury de-
MES the charge of military weakness.
He said: "The panicky tone pervad-
ing the language used by military au-
thorities outside of the, house was not
shared by the government, which was
fully conscious that any disregard of
the national defences in the present
state of the world would be very
grave dereliction of duty" In reply
to this statement Lord Wolseley adj
mitted that the government has done
much to strengthen the defences, but
there was great deal more TO be ac-
complished As long as the navy re-
NAMED as weak as it is now the army
could not hold its own, dispersed as it
is over the world. If 10000 men prop
erly handled should land on any part
of the English coast there was no rea-
son why they might not take possession
of the country. He was fully aware Of
the responsibility he incurred in max
ing this statement, yet he felt impelled
to make it. At a crowded meeting in
London resolutions were adopted urg-
ing the government without delay to
deal effectively with the national de-
fences. Thus it appears that the peo-
pie do not put full confidence in the
representations of the government.

THE United States senate has passed
the general pension bill, appropriating
$4,000, 900, and the house bill limiting
the hours of letter-carriers. 1t has also
discussed the beef monopoly question
and the bill to establish department
of labor. Bills for the admission of
Washington Territory, South Dakota
and Montana will be taken up this
week. In the house debate on the
tariff bill occupied most of the time.
Among the notable speeches were
those of Cox of New York and Mason
of Illinois in a humorous vein, and
Randall of Pennsylvania, Reed of
Maine and Mckinley of Ohio in oppo-
sition to the bill. The most notable
speeches for the bill were those of
Carlisle and Breckenridge. The debate
is closed. 1t is not thought that any
tariff bill will pass both houses at this
session, but the two parties will make
an appeal to the country on the ques-
ton. The house has passed the de-
partment of agriculture bill-233 to 10.
