will consequently be no more fox hunts

WASHINGTON, August 7th.-The Senate
devoted the morning to the consideration
of bills on the calendar.
Ben Hawley's Sill providing for the
printing of Government publications upon
private orders was passed. Senator Cor
man said by this method of printing $500. =
600 could be saved aantally.
The Dill providing for the erection of a
1000 Postoffice at Mammoth Hot Springs,
Yellowstone Park, was also passed
A joint resolution permitting officers and
enlisted 1aen. members of the Loyal Legion
or the Grand Army of the Republic to
wear badges OF these Orders, was agreed 10.
The Senate then went into open execu-
tive session for the consideration of the
fisheries treaty.
Senator Sherman took the floor and spoke
against the treaty. He said the charge
made by Senator Morgan that the Repub-
lcans were evading the real issue for the
purpose OF securing the Irish vote was
utterly without foundation. The Republi-
cans agreed upon the session, he said for
the interest of the American people and
not FOR political purposes. The question,
ne sald, was debated in the Canadian and
British Perifamenls openly. so our people
ought TO have the same chance for inform
England and the United States. He would
be glad to see q treaty made which would
settle the difficulties. But this treaty, he
SAID would make new difficulties and
ought not to be agreed to. During his re-
marks he paid a glowing compliment to
Canada, which, he said he regarded as our
twin sister, and predicted that in ten years
she would be represented in the British
Parliament or the Congress of the United
States.

The Senate then resumed consideration

Foreign Relations to prohibit the coming
OF Chinese lsborers to the United States.
Stewart spoke in favor of the bill, and

RecolIections OF an Old Citizen who
Wants No More Free Trade.
To the editor of the Sdratogian: l send
you an extract from letter rec yed from
an old Democratic friend in my former
home, Cleveland, Ohio, few days ago
He was one OF the working Democrats in
the long ago, and one of the best building
mechanics in the city. He tells some facts
the men of this generation should know.
He is for Harrison and Morton now.
Following is the extract from the letter
Of William V. Craw. of Cleveland, o.. tell
ing of hard times and free trade in lSf0:l
Friend Briggs: On reading your letter
in the Cleveland Leader cs,d Herald it
brought to mind "reminiscences of auld
lang syne, when you and my brother, were
foninst me in politics. But then the Demo
cratic platform was tariff for revenue, with
incidental protection, but when the
Southern Democracy fired on Fort Sumter
they shot all the protection out Of our in
cidental platform; also fred of On immense
number Of pure old Democrats, who are
now working for protection and pure
Amerieanism, with Harrison and Morton
for standard bearers.
" Il behooves every American labOrer,
farmer, engineer, and manufacturer to vote
for the Republican candidates and Ameri-
canism. The United States are worth pre-
serving without being controlled by foreign
influence.
Il recollect in the days of 1888 to 1874 we
had to use foreign goods for currency. 1t
was one-half store pay and the rest in
cash, but it soon ran down to one-half
store pay and the rest in goods. All orders
for store pay had to be written: - dol
lars. Let the bearer have dollars in
goods
The writer was putting up building
on Bank street for Robert Gather, tin and
coppersmith. You remember hiia. One
of my workmen wanted an order for a
barrel of flour. Mr.. Gather said that was
cash. He did not want to offend the dry
goods merchant We did not use so many
wet goods in those days as we do now.
We'll, he suggested to have the order read !:
ct The bearer have 81 50 in rade'

saw the merchant morris Hepburnl look
ing at the order. He beckoned to me and
said This is not according to Hoyle.
| Flour is cash. And we can buy goods on
six and twelve months Well, we must
have flour that's trade as the order reads|:
! but what is the difference between -four
and goods? He said fifty cents
$50 we gave him the fifty eeats cash,
and the workman got his barrel of flour.

INDIANAPOLIS, August 7th.-The hotel

on the Republican State Convention, which
convenes to morrow. The chief interest
centers in the struggle for Governor, and
the busy caucusing between the 1.l60 dele

phatic refusal to permit his name to 20 be-

this point were seemingly swept aside by

he could now accept the nomination.

ment over the disappearance of Mr.. Nc

he did not know where Mckee was, other
than that he had expressed bis deiermina-
tion to leave town in order to secure a

make by the Court. Those interested in
getting some of this money say that Nc.
Kee has been away from town long enough
to obtain anything that he had any pros
pect OF obtaining, and assert that they will
place the matter in the hands of private
dete ctive to see if he cannot be found and

While the evidence shows that the land is
not subject to entry under the Act OF June
80, 1873, it is also proven that the home
stead entry man has not complied with
the law in good faith. This is shown by
the very short time spent on the land, the
meagre Improvements made and the fact
that, while claiming to reside on said land,
he voted in the city Of San Francisco,
many miles away, and in different pre-
cinct from that In which said land is stu
ated. He stated that the entry should be
