3IcQuade Also Wants Change of Venue.

DIsTRICT-ATTogSEY FELLOWS DOES NOT OPPOSE.
New YORK. Feb. 8.-A motion for a change
of venue for the third trial OF Arthur j.
McQuade, the alleged ''boodler," was argued
before Judge O'Brien in supreme court to-day
by McQuade's counsel. Substantially the same
grounds were advanced as on the Cleary APP
plication. To these, however, were added that
McQuade's imprisonment had so affected his
mind as to make him unable to bear the strain
of such protracted trial as must be had to
procure jury if a change of venue were not
granted.
District Attorney Fellows made no opposition
to the motion. He said. however, that he be-
lieyed that i'll the interests OF justice change
of venue was an absolute necessity. Col Eel
lows suggested that some county other than
Broome be selected. Judge OBrien reserved
decision. Col. Fellows stated that he would
next move the trials of Kerr and Richmond.
The decision of Judge O'Brien regarding Me-
Quade will be handed down by Monday, and
the extraordinary oyer and terminer will then
undoubtedly be adjourned to another day,
when date for the trials of Kerr and Rich
mond will be fixed.

No British Minister Until After March 4

New York Tribune Cable Special
LONDON, Feb. Lest there should be any
lingering doubt about it, Lord Salisbury has
caused to be published anew his denial that Sir
Julian Pauncefote or anybody else has been
appointed British minister to Washington.
None will be sent, adds the semi-oficial and
wholly inspired scribes, while Mr.. Cleveland
remains President. Possibly this will open the
eyes of our belated democratic friends who
have been 80 much annoyed by suggestions
that Lord Salisbury's action or inaction was
meant as an affront. Here it is not only known,
but admitted. It remains probable that Sir
Julian has been selected and will proceed to
Washington soon after General Harrison's in
auguration. The Herald, in to-day's London
edition, says Lord Salisbury win have no
diplomatic intercourse with the United States
while Mr.. Cleveland 10 President II was be-
cause of his knowledge that the prime minister
had formed this resolution that Mr.. Phelps
went home. This he did to resent what be re-
garded - discourtesy 70 his government. That
& entirely true; the frst time the truth has
been stated IN print in England,

THE STEAMER CARONDELET.
An Immediate Trial of the Case Against
Her Demanded.

Her Demanded.
NEW YORK, Feb. 8.-The munition-of-war
laden steamer Carondelet still lies in the bay
off Robbins reef, in charge of the United States
marshals. Her cargo of war implements is
valued at $4,000.
The legal representative of the Dominican
consul called upon United States Attorney
Walker to-day and demanded an immediate
disposition of the case against the Carondelet.
District Attorney Walker conferred with Judge
Brown, of the United States district court and it
was decided to begin the trial of the matter to-
morrow morning. The rules of the court pro-
vide that in such cases an immediate trial may
be had if demanded. The reason for this is
that no bond can be given for the release of
any vessel held for violating the neutrality
laws as in other cases

INTERSTATE COMMERCE HEARING OF THE COM
PLANTS AGAINST THE LEHIGH COMPANY.
The hearing in the case of Coke Brothers &
Co. against the Lehigh Valley railroad COM
pany was resumed by the interstate commerce
commission this morning. 7. H. Chappell, of
New London, Conn; NJ. H. Fuller, of
Providence, R. l.; H. A. Dean, of Taun-
ton, Mass; Frank Miller, of Bridge
port, Conn; Mr.. Willard, of Meriden, Conn. I;
II. A. Burnham, Of Boston, Mass; Jno Batch
elder, of Boston, Mass; j. B. Conard, of Buff
falo, and s. III. Stafford, of Perth Ambey, and
others testified on behalf of the petitioners.
The substance of the testimony given is
that the expense of handling bituminous
coal in and out of cars and vessels
is materially greater than the expense of hand
ling anthracite coal Among the reasons given
for this additional cost is that the latter moves
much more freely over the gravity
chutes, which are in universal use, than
the former. One witness said that in his
experience, covering about fifteen years.
the cost of handling bituminous was in
some cases nearly or quite double that of hand
ling the hard coal. Several Of the witnesses
a material advantage in the market over the
anthracite dealers in that among other ad-
vantages they could offer the bituminous on
season contracts to manufacturers, for steam
purposes, and that there had been a great dis
placement (from 60 per cent to 80 per cent? of
anthracite coal in consequence.
This was particularly the case in New Eng
land of which they had personal knowledge
The low rates on soft coal and the high rates
on anthracite had been mainly instrumental in
bringing about this change.

The Senate Tariff Bill.

COMPUTATIONS BY TREASURY EXPERTs-REDUC-
TONS FIGURED OUT AT ONLY IL OR Is MILLION
The computations made by the Treasury ex-
perts upon the probable effect of the Senate
amendments to the tariff bill reached the COM
mittee on ways and means to-day and were
sent to the printer. A democratic member of
the committee says the tables show that one
half of the reduction of %, ZOO, 900 effected by
the changes in the sugar schedule is wiped out
by changes in the other tariff schedules, which
in themselves would result in considerable
increase in the revenue. This would leave the
net reduction of revenue about twelve or
thirteen million, leaving the internal revenue
sections out of the calculation.
