 other Investigation.
 WASHINGTON, May 17.-There were twelve tariff speakers in the house yesterday. Con- gresham Baker, of New York, took issue with Chairman Mills statement that this country couldn't produce ssamless hose, and in proof that the assertion was untrue he held up to view several pairs of mems socks of variegated hues. He offered to present them to Mir. Mills, with the suggestion that the latter send the red ones to President Cleve- land, the white ones to Speaker Carlisle, and keep the blue ones for himself, as typical of his own feelings at the end of the session when he shonld behold the defeat of the tariff bill Mir. Russell, of Massachusetts, favored the Mills bill, and especially the wooden schedule Mir. Fitcn, of New York, came out boldly for tariff revision. Mir. Dalzeli, of Pennsylvania, replied to the tariff speech of last week by Mr. Scott, saying that many of MT. Scott's statements were incorrect Mir. Scott con- sidered MT. Dalzelrs speech a personal attack, and replied vigorously.

THE STORMY.GALOKE TUNNEL.
II Is In 43O Feet. and Evidently Ap.
preaching the Vein,

Dan. Beaton, the Smoky mail-car
rler' who visited the Stormy Galore
workings last Monday, reports the
tunnel being run to tap the vein as
being in about 430 feet. 1t is in good
working ground Of such a character
that it indicates near approach to
the ledge-which the miners working
there say cannot be very far off. In
fact, they expect to strike it in 80 to
100 feet. As, when the tunnel was
started, last fall, the owners expected
to Rave to run it between 400 and 600
feet before cutting the vein, the ap.
pearances are that they will not be
disappointed.
Mr.. Beaton says that the miners
are compelled TO wear gum clothes
and change off two or three times
each shift, owing to the inflow of wa.
ter from the face and top, which forms
a continuous stream the full width of
the tunnel and about three inches
deep. This indicates that the vein is

ing weather. At the East, in dry
goods, commission and cotton mill
and print houses report change for
the better. Groceries and hardware
merchants, too, have felt larger de-
mand, noticeably from the West.
These announcements are offset bv
moderate declines in the volume of
trade at Western centers, notably
Kansas City, St. Joseph and Omaha.
Kansas City reports that interior mer.
chants tributary to that city are we'll
stocked, and that renewed heavy buy
ing is unlikely until after the crops
begin to move. Rain has lnterfered
with the course Of trade in the vicini.
ty of Omaha and with truck farming
at the South, particularly in Georgia.
The movement Of merchandise is for
current needs only at Philadelphia,
Savannah and Burlington. There is
less snap in trade at Chicago.
"While funds remain quite easy at
larger Eastern cities, there has been
a more active request at Louisville,
Omaha. and particularly at Kansas
City, both at that city and from the
surrounding country. At Boston the
supply of funds has increased, and it
has been difficult to place it readily.
AS at New York, rates on call and
time are nominal. Mercantile col
lections are fair only, though in few
cases they are quoted very slow.
"The Treasury until Friday seemed
unwilling to encourage expectations
of its paying advanced prices for
bonds, and restricted its takings to
the figures of last week. The &C

for the week were s20,l93,S5O and
