Allison an Tariff Reduction.

CHICAGO, Ill. January "a special
from Dubuque, Ia, to the Inter ocean
saws: Senator Allison, who leaves to-
dav for Washington, said in an inter
view that the party which failed to do
its share in speedily reducing tariff taxes
would lose in public favor. The necessity
for some action was great, and Congress
would be compelled to act. he did not
wish to outline any definite plan, but
said parties were so divided that in order
TO reach any result mutual concessions
must be made. tie would be willing to
repeal the tobacco tax and sugar tariff
and further enlarge the free list.

PREMATURE WINTER.

Remarkably Severe Weather Experienced
In the Gulf of st. Lawrence and Other
Portions of Canada.
MONTREAL, Cam, Nov. 21.-It is reported
from Quebec that northwest gale with
binding snow has prevailed since Mon
day. Anxiety is felt for the safety of q num-
Der of vessels which have started for the
Saugenay and the mouth of the gulf. The
gulf shores are ice bound. Fishermen
are suffering for food, and some of them,
who were caught in the snow, are badly
frozen. Three feet of snow has fallen in
the last three days at Sault Ste. Marie
and the thermometer touched six degrees
below last night. Faners in Quebec and
Ontario have been caught unprepared by
the early cold snap, and their stock is
suffering severely. The weather in this
neighborhood is the coolest known here
in November for nearly a score of years.
The glass regis tered eight degrees below
this morning. Last night the Allan Line
steamship Pomeranian caught fire here.
She is covered with Ice from the freezing
of the water used in extinguishing the
flames. She will probably remain hera
until spring.

CHICAGO Nov. 21.-In a dingy grog
shop, 50 South Dssplaines street, a man
dropped dead early last evening. He ap-
peared TO be more than seventy years
old. Though dissipation had made his
countenance any thing but pleasant to
lock upon, the massive frame and clear
cut features showed him 10 be a man of
more than ordinary birth and breeding.
In his pockets the police found papers
which led to his identity. He
was w. w. Drummond, once the
Supreme Judge Of the Territory OF
Utah. The dead man was a Virginian by
birth, and in 1851 was appointed to the
highest judicial position in the Territory
OF Utah by President Pierce. He was
then comparatively young man, and,
although having an interesting family
fell in with a dissolute woman named
Pleasant Edgerton. This woman was the
cause of his ruin, AMI for the last six
years he has been known as drunken
pauper. living In the low saloons on the
