The appointment Of committee by
the Chamber of Commerce to investi-
gate and report upon the complaints of
the vignerons against the prosecutions
of the officers of the Internal Revenue
Bureau, was a timely proceeding upon
the part of that body. The wine manu-
fscturers have reason to feel outraged at
the hostile way in which their interest
is treated by the Revenue Buresu, at the
behest of the Whiskey ring, which is in
terested in crushing out our wine and
brandy industry. If the committee will
thoroughly overhaul this whole business
and formulate feasible remedy, as we
believe they will, something practical
may be done in behalf of our suffering
yignerons.

MEXICAN ADVICES.
Terrible Storms Sweeping the

Terrible storms Sweeping the
COuntry-A Terrific Landslide.
ST. LOUIS, September 21.- Advices
from different parts of Mexico Say very
heavy storms have been sweeping over
that country since August 18th. Reports
from Mazatlan and Manzanilla are that
the steamers Porferio Diaz and Alfalfa
have probably been wrecked.
After five days of steady rain in the
State of Vera Cruz cyclone passed over
the town Of Chihuantepec, causing great
destruction, and to add to the terror q
great landslide occurred on the mountain
back of the town, part of which passed
directly through the town, cutting q
great swath through the buildings and
carrying away everything in its path. A
torrent of water then poured down the
gulley made by the landslide and flooded
that part of the place not already des-
troyed. There was no loss of life, how
ever, as the people had warning and
sufficient time to escape, but the dsstruc-
ton OF crops and loss of cattle is very
great.
MILITARY AND CIVIL MATTERS.
Cry OF MEXICO, September 21,-The
Sierra Maiada mining district is practi.
cally dead. This condition is said to be
due to the order of Secretary Window
regarding the duty on ores.
A project to establish q postal tele-
graph will be presented to Congress
shortly.
General Trsvino's forces, under Gem

CONTRIBUTIONS to the District Fair are
coming rapidly from the adjoining coun-
ties, and the managers are greatly
pleased with the prospect. Twelve
thousand dollars in premiums will be
awarded to the best exhibits in the vsri-

served to stimulate producers to place
the best they have in the exposition.
We shall look for very satisfactory re-
port from the managers at the close of

the Pavilion will be visited by great
crowds from the country, as we'll as from

Sea Voices.

Sca bOhCtSs
There g moan on the winds from the sea,
There's a passionate sob In the breast of the
wave
And an eerie-like sound on the dew-spangled
lea,
Fitting here, fitting there,
Like thing of the air.
Like wandering sprite from the keep OF the
grave.
Out of the sea wave and out of the West
Landwsrd there 1oateth mist of the night.
Aswhite as fear or ghost of unrest,
And over my soul
There seemeth to roll
A mist from the waters of weeping tonight.
doubt 'twixt dream and a crime
From the time-hidden waste OF what years are
for me
Flowing down into sense with billowy
rhyme.
dream of forbodings
Beating albatross wings,
Comes in with the foam pallld swell of the sea.
The vision and voice on Pstmos of old
From the sea seemed gift and song,
But the soul of the Seer that wonder did hold
And the pecan he heard
Was his own spirit stirred ~
To the fire-leaping pulse OF seraphim ssong.
Time was when looked on the sea
And courted it most at Its fullness Of tide,
When 1t moaned and sobbed with an inner
most plea
And ever heard
The Apocalypse word
"Alleluia," afar on the turbulent tide.
1t was then that heard through tine gale
voice of singing, tumult of praise,
AS old as the sea, yet as new as the tale
OF loves latest vow.
All, where is it now?
Will the waves never more such symphony
raise?
And l saw thro' the mist of the night,
When the moon gtlded all in its pride,
A tremulous wonder-a city of light
OF mystical name,
Descending in flame
And moving afar on the refuent tide.
o soul, is it thou? is it thou
That dOst wrongly interpret the sea,
And that stranglest in sadness purpose and
vow?
Dost thou turn into plain
And a whisper of pain
The ove-burdened breath of the echoing lea?
The soul to the earth is Summer and Sun,
Its mirror of light, its Apocalypse song;
And soul voice and sea voice forever are one !;
As the soul to the sea.
So the sea sings to me,
And both to the soul do minister tongue.

Davis, a citizen of Wheeling, recently
returned from the scene Of the rebellion
and tells woful story of cruelty
to slaves in Navasea. The stories
of cruelty and tyranny in the island

that if some bright, bold man ever got
sufficient influence to become a leader Of
the blacks on the island, there would be
a general uprising and bloody mass

IT is reassuring, after Bishop Fowler's
note of dread alarm, to learn from one of
the great diplomats who arrived with the
new Chinese Embassy at San Francisco
the other day, that the Emperor of China
and his Government are not at all dis
gruntied at the exclusive policy of the
United States. Indeed that official said
that the Chinese Government looked
with disfsvor on the migration of it's
people to foreign lands. This official in
formation enables us to breathe easier.

BERLIN, September 2l.-The Keller

yachts Bergava and Czarevna and the

reach Kiel on the morning of the 9th
inst. If Bismarck's plans are effected
instead of a short and unceremonious
visit, the Gear will be treated to a num-
Der of Court banquets and diplomatic
dinner. The absence Of De Giers, Rus
sian Foreign Minister, indicates that the
Gar is determined to refuse Prince Bis

THE MERITS OF sMoKELEss POWDER.
The maneuvers at Hanover terminated
today. The Post publishes a report on
the maneuvers, which is conclusion as
to the necessity of smokeless powder
henceforth for both the artillery and the
infantry. The corps using smokeless
powder got within 200 yards Of the
enemy without the later being able to
determine the distance. The latter were
often taken or the flank and were unable
to guess whence the tire came. if it
had been real battle they would have
been annihilated. The War Office is
preparing supply of smokeless powder
for all the troops, including the second
class landwenr. The latest perfected
smokeless powder leaves no sign after
firing by infantry, and only a slight gray
mist after the firing of artillery.

have also spoken There is only one republi-
