THERE is much interest manifested in
TIN "dnih6ah2lel F olieEa "a. the admipistra:
the fishery treaty has been rejected.
The statements made are all speculative,
as the President has not authorized any
one to state what his position will be. 1t
is probable that he will not decide for
himself until the presentation to him of
some specific facts shall make some ac-
ton necessary. Mr.. Frye, who repre-
sents the Republican side of the fishery
question, does not think there will be
any disturbance, or that the President
will issue proclamation under the re-
taliation act He thought that the posi-
ton that the administration had taken
in connection with the fishery treaty
was bar to any action under the retail
iation act. The attitude of the Demo-
Gratis, Mr.. Frye claims, was that there
had been nothing in the acts of the Ca
madam government which could be call
ed grievances that deserved resort to
the retaliation act. He did not think
that Canadl would make any trouble I'M
til after the election, at ali events, as
Canada has a stake of $2,000,0 600 in the
Mills bill, and her interests are IN the
direction of peace.

The Fiftieth Congress has now been in
session longer than the famous session
of twelve years ago, which continued
until the middle OF August, but it Is not
the longest on record. In 1850 session
lasted until the end of September, and
while the present one bids fair to come
very close to this, it is not expected the
record will be beaten. The Senate has
not yet begun the consideration of the
tariff question, and that will take three
weeks, at least, but with Presidential
campaign pressing, and so MANY Con-
gressmen under engagements for speech
es it would not be surprising if a sudden
resolve to adjourn developed about the
middle of next month.

1T WOULD be a rich as we'll as a serious
joke if after all the pleadings Of the
Democratic journals for a reduction of
the surplus, and for a reform of the tar
iff as the only way of doing away with
'the monstrOus and iniquitous surplus"
it should appear that there is no surplus
worth the effort of reducing. Republi-
can papers have many times exposed
the lies of the Democratic press regard
ing the surplus and shown that the
plain truth IS that so far from there be-
Ing surplus of 500, 900 900 or $40, OOO,-
900, or as some more pronounced liars
have put it, S275,0O0,O0O, there has not
been more than $50. OO0, 900 of surplus in
sight, which by proper-not excessive,
but neutrality-suspicious. for rivers
and harbors and coast and naval de-
lenses the actual surplus would be re-
duced to little more than $4,000, 600.
Now comes a rumor that the Demo-
Gratis themselves find little more than
$13, 00O, 600 of surplus in view, after adj
minIstering the national finances for
less than four years according 10 their
peculiar notions of economy. There
must be great deal of uneasiness in
the hearts of Democratic speakers and
writer's who have been engaged in the
preparation of yet unpublished argu-
ments in favor of reduction of"the mon
strous and Ubiquitous surplus" Since
the foundation of the Republic there has
never been a Democratic politician, or
ator or writer who knew anything of
national finance-not one.

fact that every panic this country has
ever experienced has been preceded BY

there was but a single year In which the

During the last thirteen years under pro-
tectiye tariff the balance of trade was

sisted, makes an interesting exhibit OF
the work under the two systems. he
said the South was wonderfully rich In
raw materials and her own skilled labor
should be employed in turning them into
manufactures. He declared that the
+, home market was the best. Protection

THE FISHERY TREATY.
After Weeks of Debate the Fishery
Treaty Is Rejected by a Strict
Party Vote.

After Weeks of Debate the Fishery
Treaty Is Rejected by a Strict
Party Vote.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l.-"rhere being
no further amendment the clerk will re-
port the resolution of ratification" The
voice of Mr.. Ingalls,, the presiding Off
Ger of the senate, Is always grave, but
there was an unusual solemnity TO its
tone this morning when he made the
announcement which brought the SEN
ate face to face with the final vote upon
the fishery treaty. The end of the de-
bate had come, and the administration
was about to encounter the worst defeat
which any administration has expert
enced IN treaty negotiation. Prior TO
the vote Mr. Morgan was permitted, by
the courtesy OF the senate, to conclude
speech which it seemed would never
end, and he consumed almost an hour,
finally ending his speech but not his ca
pacity to speak. He has spoken thirty
seven hours upon this treaty. At the
very last moment the administration in
Dictated that it also had another side,
which it had held in reserve. This was
demonstrated in the amendment which
Mr.. Gray, of Delaware, one of the i'm
mediate representatives of the state de-
partment in the senate, presented as a
substitute TOR a portion of the Eleventh
article of the treaty. That amendment
proposed that Canadian vessels in Unit
| ed States ports should be required TO
take out licenses for commercial privil-
eyes on like conditions as those inn
posed by Canada on American fishing
vessels in Canadian ports. This was the
| first conclusion by a representative of
the administration that there was any
reason why the treaty should not be
one-sided, or that there ought to
be inserted in the treaty anything to
provide for mutual rights or mutual
concessions. A smile was seen upon
every Republican face when the amend
ment was presented, for 1t was declar-
alton unaccompanled by debate-the
hour for debate having eXpired-which
gave away" a large portion of the case
of the administration and which gain
said many of the arguments with which
they have encountered the record fol
weeks. The amendment of Mr.. Gray
was rejected by 2S to 30. Finally, the
presiding officer having called the atten.
lion of the Senate, in solemn voice, &c
the fact that the vote was about to be
taken on resolution of ratification, the
vote was put, resulting in defeat of the
resolution by vote of q TO 30.

The crowds continue TO flock to Indi-
annapolis day after day until the Repub-
ican presidential candidate has had to
leave the city to escape them. Great
big Grover isn't troubled by any such
annoyance. Nobody has heard of any
visiting delegation calling to see him,
and there is absolutely profound in
Indifference in his party as to what he
does. The "old Roman" has been
complimented by several visits and
when he goes out he is greeted with
some of the old time Democratic enihu-
siasm, but even it is chilled by the frig-
idity of the party since Cleveland be-
came its owner.

THE ReUielC editor seems to be greatly
worried over the strained relations al
legged to exist between Mr.. Eli Warner
and the editor of this paper. Mr.. Wise
needn't lose any sleep over this matter.
So far as we are informed the personal
feelings between Hunt and Warner are
as cordial as ever, and the differences of
opinion which exist between them upon
gubernatorial candidates is hardly sufIi-
cient ground for the supposltion that
they are contemplating scenes of gore
and carnage like the recent Boulanger-
Floquet episode.

Court.

The Pullman Car Case and the Baldwin
Murder Case in the United States SUI
preme Court.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20-In the Supreme
Court yesterday Attorney General Brad
ford, of Kansas, called up the case of the
Pullman Palace Car Company versus II.
II. Hayward, treasurer of Allen County,
Kan, ct al, the other parties to the suit
being the treasurers of forty EIGHT other
counties and the railroad companies hav.
ing branch lines through these counties,
and moved for a hearing Of this case dur
ing the present sitting of the court in
order that it might be argued during his
incumbency of office, as his term will ex-
pire January u next. Because of his
familiarity with the case he expressed the
belief that his State would have better
showing under the circumstances il his
motion was allowed. The matter was
taken under Amusement and a decision
in the matter will be announced by the
court Monday.
General Bradford also called up the case
of the State of Kansas VS.. William j.
Baldwin, and made a similar motion for
trial during the present term for the same
reasons given in the preceding case. Bald
win was convicted of the murder of his
sister in Atchison County and sentenced
to death two years ago, but inasmuch as
the Governor indefinitely withheld ar or
der for execution his sentence was practi-
cally Imprisonment for life. He claims
that his conviction was the result of cir
cumstantial evidence, and inasmuch as he
could not get a new trial either in the
lower courts or in the State Supreme
Court, he prays that the United States Su-
preme Court will grant him a new trial.
This motion of the Attorney General was
granted aad the hearing fixed for the third
Monday In December.

FORCE OF MAGNETISM.
Some Curious Instances of the Infiuenc
EIerted by 1t.

Some Curious Instances of the Influence
EIerted by 1t.
Most well Informed people are
doubtless aware, remarks a contempt
rary, that the globe on which they
live is a great ball of magnetism, but
comparatively few have an adequate
idea Of the influence this property is
continually exerting on all sides; that
many common but inexplicable phe-
nomena can be traced directly to this
source. Statistics go to show that in
the matter of steel rails, as many as
thirteen will become crystalized and
break where they go to make up rail-
road track running east and west be-
fore one of those on a north and south
track is similarly affected. This is en-
tirely due to the magnetism generated
by friction, and the fact that the pol
arity of the magnetic current is in the
former instance resisted in the head
long rush of the train, whereas in the
latter case it is undisturbed. Another
strange effect of this peculiar and o.
cult force is that exerted on the watch-
es of trainmen. A time-piece carried
by the conductor running train twen-
ty miles an hour. however accurate it
may be, will, if the speed Of the train
is increased say to fifty miles, become
useless until regulated. The magnet
ism generated by the flight of train
may be said to be in proportion to
the speed with which it is propelled,
and the delicate parts of watch, num-
bering all the way from four hundred
to one thousand pieces, and peculiarly
to this influence by reason
of the hammering and polishing they
have received, are not slow to feel the
journal of Commerce.
