Trade and Finance.

New YORK, December 3.-R. G. Dunn &
Co., in their weekly review of trade, say:
The outgo of gold, and the situation of
speculative markets cause lower prices in
almost every branch, but in stocks some
recovery has followed the reports of new
and important agreements between railroad
managers. The rise averaging about so
cents per share for the mora active stocks
does not yet appear to indicate change of
tone. A combination on an entirely new
basis, for roads west of Chicago, is pro-
posed, of which vital feature. is en- entire
withdrawal of the power to make rates from
subordinates. Indeed, the clearing house
scheme. if accepted literally, would virtually
take the power from the officers Of each
road, separately, and the hearty consent of
all competing lines being necessary the re-
ports that one or more will refuse to thus
surrender their power seems to foreshadow
the failure of the plan.

away OFF the Track"

CHICAGO, December 2.-The Daily News
publishes an interview with Senator Far
we'll in which he is quoted as saying:
''My visit to General Harrison was So
cial one, of course, but he told me some
thing tina. shows that you newspaper men
are away off the track, as it were, in your
special allegations regarding President-elect
Harrison's plans.
Senator he said to me last Wednes-
day, 81 have got big ears, and a very little
mouth; there is more talk about my alleged
intentions than / ever dreamed there could
be. But will tell you one thing, and that
is this: l do not propose to offer, promise
or appoint any men to offices for some time
to come, Some of my predecessors, as soon
as elected, adopted the course of at once
making promises, and quieting this or that
faction by promises. Some of our presi-
dents succeeded so well that they gave away
more Offices than they had at their disposal,
and the result was not exactly as they
wished. shall do nothing of the kind. /
shall look about me, carefully examine ev-
erything, and then be very deliberate about
my selections, making no promises that I
am not absolutely certain that can fulfill"

An Americans Opinion of Mexico.

IA 0AhCi ASoA . oPAoAOA "a nAcAlCO-
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec 2.-Mr. Thomas
B. Coanery, late Secretary of the Legation
in Mexico is in the city. He speaks in
terms indicating warm friendship for the
Mexican Government and people, to whom
he become friendly attached while at the
Mexican Capital. He says the Me1icans ars
not very well understood by Americans, be-
cause they differ in their ideas on most
things from Us. The Germans and the
French get along very we'll with them, be-
cause they pat MP with delays that our peo-
pie would not tolerate. He reports that
Mexico is making real progress. They have
men of great ability among them and their
President is good one. The MexicaLs are
slow to adopt new ideas and new customs,
and he ventures the opinion that those who
have built railroads into Mexico will not be
reimbursed for some time. The people do
not build towns about a station there As they
do in the United States, but get as far away
from road as possible. The Me1icans are
slow to seq the advantages of this great mod
ern civilizer, but the roads must become
popular in coarse of time.

Rates Advanced .

CHICAGO, December IA meeting of the
managers of the lines in the Central Traffic
association was held to consider the ques-
ton of restoring all east bound freight
rates. There was no difficulty in reaching
an agreement to advance the rate on grain
and provisions to the old rate of 25 and 80
cents respectively, but when it came to re-
storing dressed beef and live stock rates the
trouble began. The managers whose op-
position to the differential system was one
of the causes leading to the dressed beef
dispute, seemed to have changed their po-
sition on that question, and as the lines
which were formerly allowed diferentisl
rate on dressed beef feel that they are emit
tied now to the same privileges, the ccntro-
versy was renewed. The meeting finally
adjourned without reaching a conclusion,
but the sentiment seemed to be that ali
difficulties would be overcome now, and
that rates would be advanced, to take effect
about December II.

The Senate Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 3.-There
eeems to be an agreement among the re-
publican leaders that the senate tariff bill
will be taken up the first thing this winter
and pushed through to its passage in the
senate. Mr.. Mckinley says so, and Senators
Allison and Spooner make the same declar-
alton. The bill is now at the head of the
calender, as unfinished business, and will
come up each day after the morning hour.
Monday next the presidents message and
the usual exchange of communication be-
tween the houses will occupy the day. On
Tuesday it will be the duty of the presiding
officer to lay the unfinished business before
the senate at 2 O'Clock. This will be the
tariff bill, and it will depend on Senator
Allison, who has it il charge, whether its
consideration will be resumed on that day.
Before the adjournment of the last session,
Senator Allison said he would call the tariff
bill up at the earliest possible moment. and
he declared that he would resist any lengthy
adjournment for the holidays in order to
facilitate its passage. Before leaving Iowa,
Senator Allison said that he would await an
intimation from the democratic leaders in
the house, promising proposition to agree
on tariff bill, but while at Indianapolis,
and after a consultation with General Har-
rison last Tuesday, he is reported to have
returned to his original programme-ths
immediate consideration of the republican
bill.
Regarding the general policy of the re-
publicans touching the measure, he said
they might probably make some change in
it, but not any of importance, and the bill
would remain substantially the same. Sena-
tor Spooner, who was with Senator Allison
in Indianapolis, made a statement similar
to that of Senator Allison, and these utter
ances indicate that it is the desire of Gen.
eral Harrison and the purpose of the lead
ers to push the tariff bill through the senate,
and substantially in its present form. It
may. therefore, be expected that the senate
will take up the tariff bill this week.

1885 unconstitutional. The law requires
that the plaintiff in the suit shall only re-
cover actual damages if it appears that the

mistake or misapprehension comes to the

or after suit is brought, q correction is pub
Gshed in as conspicuous manner and place

movement for the withdrawal of democratio

movement for the withdrawal of democratic
members of the G. A. B., ON the ground
that the organization is used to further the
political ends of the republican party seems
to meet with little sympathy outside of In
diana, where it began. The revolt has been
organized in Indianapolis, but in no other
state have steps in that direction been re-
ported. Interviews by the Sun correspond
ents with many prominent democrats in the
Grand Army show that they will not join
the revolt, that they had no idea that it
would be important. They distinctly contra
dict the assertion OF General Palmer that
the Grand Army is an adjunct of the repub-
blican party; deny as an organization it has
any partisan bias. They also say there is
not room for another successful organiza.
ton of veterans. In fact, the interviews
seem to indicate that as rule the results Of
the election have not shaken the fealty of
democratic veterans to the Grand Army,
however its individual members may vote.
It was organized and is maintained, they
believe, for non-political purposes.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 3.-There
is much uncertainty expressed at the capitol
as to the fate of the direct tax bill, which
the committee on rules by caucus action
was directed to make q special order for
Thursday, the 9th of December. The oppo-
nents, who at the last session made a cue
cessful fight against its consideration, evince
an entire absence of knowledge az to wheth-
er or not the caucus programme will be car
ried out, but say it is highly improbable
that dllatory tactics again be employed to
compass the defeat of the measure.
