WASHINGTON, February 15.-General
interest centers in the proposed visit of
President and Mrs. Cleveland to Florida
next week. This move on the part of
the managers of the Sub-Tropical has
been a wise one indeed for the best in
terests of the State, for while it will
bring a wise and patriotic ruler within
her borders for short space the atten-

beneficial. A pleasant trip is anticipated
by all the parties, and regret is expressed
that the time will be so limited

NORTH WILBRAHAM, MASS, February
15.-The extensive works of the Coils
Paper Manufacturing Company caught
fire this morning and will probably be
destroyed. The fire was discovered at 3
o'clock in the fifth story, where the
storage department is located. The
flames soon spread to the elevator shaft
and then made rapid progress. The vii
lage is without adequate fire protection
and aid from Springfield was asked.
About 30 steamer No. 2, of Springfield,
arrived by special train. By this time,
however, the fire had become master of
the situation and the main part of the
factory was doomed. All that could be
done was to use every precaution to save
the adjacent structures which were the
homes of the large number of operatives
who will be thrown out of work. The
large factory was equipped with auto
matte sprinklers in the fifth story. but
they failed to work. The loss will be

hundred feet long, sixty wide, five
stories high and had large extension.

SECRETARY MAYNARD'S DECISION.
AN ANSWER TO THE COLLECTOR
AT PENSACOLA.
While Inspectors must Conform to Rea-
sonabie Quarantine Regulations
They must Protect the Revenue.

WASHINGTON, February 15.-The
Secretary of the Treasury has received a
letter from the collector of customs at
Pensacola in regard to an alleged con-
fiict of jurisdiction between the State
quarantine officers and customs inspec-
tors at that port, in which he asks
whether the department decisions Nos
2,245 and 6,39S are still in force, or
whether the customs inspectors must
forego the right to examine and certify
manifests OF vessels arriving in port till
it may suit the convenience of the quar-
antine surgeon to do so. Assistant
Secretary Maynard, in reply, says that
no material change has been made i'm the
decisions referred to, and that the later
decision was founded ON the opinion of
the Attorney General. This decision is
to the effect that the United States
Government has the clear right to see
for itself, and by the eyes of its own Of
ficers, whether its customs laws are en-
forced at quarantine stations as
well as at other places, but that this duty
should be executed with due reference
to the State health laws and regulations.
Such conformity, however, is not to
amount to an abstention from official
duty, and that the universal rule by
which upon conflict between State and
United States laws the former necsssa-
rily give way, would not justify customs
officers in restraining health officers
from policeing places which the former
found necessary to occupy in the course
of duty.
Assistant Secretary Maynard says that
the Department entirely concurs in this
view of the acts passed by Congress to
prevent the introduction of contagious
diseases, and he calls attention to Sec
tions of the act of April 80, 1878, defin-
ing the duties of officers or agents OF the
Marine Hospital Service at ports where
the Secretary of the Treasury may deem
1T necessary to establish quarantine,
and which provides that ''There shall be
no interference in any manner with any
quarantine laws or regulations that now
exist or may hereafter be adopted under
State laws"
Attention is also called to section 4, 792
of the Revised Statutes, wherein it is en-
acted that quarantine and other re-
straints established by the health laws of
any State respecting any vessel arriving
in or bound to any port or district there
OF shall be duly observed by the officers
of the customs revenue of the United
States" That is, Mr.. Maynard says,
when they can do so consistently with
their duties as such officers of customs.
Mr.. Maynard closes his letter as follows:
''The question involved is a delicate but
not doubtful one, and although inspec-
| tors must conform their official actions
| to all legitimate and reasonable regula-
tions made for the protection of public
health, yet State regulation which for
bids them from protecting the public
revenue is not reasonable, and should
not be observed. You will conform,
your action to the views thus ex-
pressed"

THOSE DECK BEAMS.
Chief Naval Constructor Wilson on the Material
in Them,

in Them,
WASHINGTON, February 15.-The Sec
retary of the Navy to-day received re-
port, dated February 3, from Chief Naval
Constructor Wilson in regard to the
singular behavior of several deck beams
intended for cruiser No. 2 tCharleston)
while being worked to shape" He
says: In order that no chance of
doubt shall exist as to the quality of the
material Incorporated in the hull of the
ship. considered it for best interests of
the Government to have removed from
the ship the four beams referred to by
Constructor Fernald in his letter of
December %, 1887, as having failed in
sufficiently strong, and others substi-
| tuted. | have to state, as beam in a
ship has to act, not merely as a girder
| which supports the load, but as tie be-
| tween the two sides and as part of the
ships frame, it is important that it
should be made of the very best material
| The failure of these four beams was
certainly an unusual occurrence, and at
the present time unaccountable for, as
! the material had stood all the regulation
| tests previous to its receipt at the build
| ing yard. From various tests that have
| been made and from the general behav-
| ior of the other beams worked into the
structure of the Charleston, i am con-
| ~,
scruction is of excellent quality.
''The rolling of this form of beam brings
an excessive tension on the fianges and
the beams have also to undergo consider
able mechanical work in bending 10
shape, and punching rivet holes in the
flanges before being put into the vessel,
| and it was after this work had been put
upon them and they still required further
/ bending to shape that they gave way
through the lines of the rivet holes. In
building every steel vessel it is expected
that some materials, even after they
have passed all other prescribed tests of
the Government inspectors at manufac-
tories and rolling mills may fail in work
ing. and the instructions make a wis,
provision for the rejection of all such as
do fail. The failure of material in work
ing on the Charleston has been very
small.
The probable cause for the apparen
importance given this matter was il
allowing the beams to be incorporate,
into the ship after their failure. Th'
reason why they failed is of a characte
that am unable to determine. The ex
periments, as carried on, have fully dem
onstrated the necessity for annealing tn
beams, and Constructor Ferrald official
states that all T bnlb beams of stee
should be annealed, more especial
those subjected to an upward strain
= caused by the blast of heavy guns.
fully concur in the opinion expressed b
him. and have to suggest that hereafte
: all beams SO located as to require an III
= usual strain be annealed before bein
placed in the ship"

ton, for heretofore we have not been

Mr.. Burns said that he would never
cease denouncing the horrors and evils
perpetrated in the name of the law by
officers of the law under the internal
revenue law. At the same time he
wished to say to the gentleman from
Pennsylvania, QRandalD. and to the
country, that he would remove from the
burdens of tariff taxation and reduce the
taxes ON some of the necessaries of life
before he would undertake to lessen in
ternal revenue taxation. Applause.
Mr.. Herbert attacked the fee system
as cause of the evils complained of, and
he appealed to the Judiciary Committee
to bring in a bill which would remedy
these evils.
Mr.. Burns stated that the Committee
on Appropriations was in receipt of the
estimates of appropriation for the COM
pletion of public buildings in various
parts of the country. As in every case
the estimates exceeded the limits fixed
by law, the Committee could not, under
the rules, incorporate items in the bill.
The buildings, however, must be COM
pleted, and he offered an amendment
making an appropriation for the compile
ton of the buildings at the following
points: Aberdeen, Miss, $40, 900; Charles
ton, S. c., $13S, S,000: Jackson, Miss, ST.
600; Lynchburg, Va, $4,000; Pensacola,
Fla, $4,000; Richmond, Va. $33, 200,
and a large number of others in the
North and West. The amendment was
adopted. Pending discussion the COM
mittee arose and the House adjourned.
