The Outcome OF the Convention Held
at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Feb 21.-The out-and-out free
traders in the tariff reform convention de-
cided, after a conference to-day, to make no
attempt to reopen the debate upon the
declaration of principles. They persuaded
themselves that they had gone before
the country sufficiently in their speeches
of Wednesday and believed that in the con-
vention they had attained moral victory.
50 when the convention assembled to-day
the report Of the committee on resolutions
was adopted as it had been trimmed down
by the f-forrevenue men. The dellb-
crate declaration of the convention upon
the tariff question therefore is:
We hold that it is the natural right Of every
man TO freely exchange his labor or the prod
uct of his labor to the best advantage. We de-
clare ourselves unalterably opposed to the so
called protective system and demand prompt
abrogation Of all protective features from the
tariff
A COMMITTEE ON PROPAGATION.
Supplemental resolutions providing for
the appointment of committee Of nine
to perfect and prosecute plans for propa-
eating the principles in these resolutions
announced, were also adopted without dis
sent

man picked out the following as the com
mittee: David A. Wells of Con.

Illinois, A. w. Thomas Of Texas,
Eugene NJ Wilson of Minnesota, Frederick
w Latham of Iowa, Horace White of New
York, j. o. Smith of OHIO, Chairman Nor
ton of Nebraska, Samuel Morse Of Indiana.
1t was remarked by the radicals that they
we're rather SHINY represented on the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Banker Of New York offered the
following, which was loudly applauded and
was adopted by rising vote:
We honor President Cleveland for his brave,
manly and statesmanlike course in making
tariff reform the issue before the people We
see in the increased popular majority
which that issue won for him, and in the in
crease of his vote in independent centers as
surance Of the early triumph of ''the peoples
cause, and we pledge ourselves to increasing
agitation until the triumph is WON

up and deliver opinions upon cases already
argued and submitted. The total expenses

Gently printed the following paragraph :
I'm the district OF Pan Yu in Kuangtung,
there is mountain popularity called the
Tigers Dem On this mountain a man had
buried his father, but after the lapse of a
few years he selected another site for his
tomb and proceeded to unearth his renal s.
When the grave was dug open it was found
filled with water and tie coffin totally de-
cayed. Seeing this state of things, the I'M
deroaker hastily picked up the bones, and
placing them in an urA they were reinforced
IN another tomb.
That night when the son had fallen
asleep, he dreamt he saw his father in great
displeasure AMI vigorously chastising him.
lie awoke quite puzzled, but falling asleep
again his father reappeared, again chastis-
ing him as before. This happened several
times, and ulon his relating tae story to his
friends the nsXt morning some suggested
that it might he possible that his fathers
spirit objected to being removed others
limited that the location Of the new grave
might not b5 satisfactory. But all these
conJectures could not explain the strange
ness OF the situation, be ause the old grave
was full OF water and it was incredible that
the paternal names should prefer to remain
IN 1t to new, dry and we'll configurated
site.
Finally a new thought struck the
puzzled son, and he asked the undertaken if
lie was sure he had picked up all the bones
when he put them in ths urn. Upon the
undertaken expressing an uncertainty in
the matter sea CHI was made, and, sure
enough, bone was found which had
escaped notice This stray bone was at

that night the son enjoyed undisturbed
slumber, his father beng no longer dis
pleased with him for having neglected one
of his bones.n

gomery street, in the store occupied by
Joseph Togneri. There was exclusive proof
in each case 1t is averred that the places
were fired by some parties, at present IN
known-traces being left to justify the as
sertion

special hatred of the torch handlers. A
month ago his bar was burnt, the fire hav-
ing been inceldiary, and at the time he lost
everything he had. Suspicion was aroused
at the time, but efforts to place the crime
failed. His second misfortune will fall
heavily upon him. He has no idea who his
enemies are
