Drassachusetts tariff Reformers.

Boston. March 1.-THE Massachusetts,
Tariff Reform league will issue an address,
Of which the following are the principal
points:
The defeat of the policy of tariff re-
duction shows the need of further en-
lightenment of the people in regard to
the real effects of the existing tariff
The league viii advocate free raw materials
rs the practical objective point for future
effort. Special efforts viii be made 20 show
the farmers the fallseies b. which they have
been deceived. Competent speakers have vol
unteered their services and joint debates viii
be arranged wherever possible. Our congress-
men will be invited to explain why they have
sacrificed the interests of New England to the
greed of Pennsylvania. Those of our manu-
facturers who petitioned against free raw ma
terials viii be given an opportunity 10 defend
their petition. The leage Is non-partisan. and
asks the cooperation of tariff reformers in
both parties. The wealthy few. who imagine
they have bought the right to fatten upon the
abuses of the tariff without fear of further
melestation, are reminded that the tariff ques-
tion cannot be settled at All until il Is rightly
settled.
The signers are Henry l.. Pierce, Will
liam Lloyd Garrison, Josiah Quincy and
John +. Andrew.

NEW YoRK. March ia Paris special

Halstead's name has been mentioned as
the probable successor of Minister Nc

a wide publicity to the stories of his
presence with the German army as q
special correspondent in 1870. AT the
Palais Bourbon today NJ. Gaudin de
Villane, one of the members of the cham
Der of deputies, whose dislike of America
and Americans is indicated by his sheer
ing speech of last Thursday on the policy
of the United States in the Panama and
Nicaragua canal questions, openly de-
clared to his friend that, should Mr..
Halstead's name be sent to the United
States senate. he would openly interpret
late the ministry on the subject, and that,
should Mr.. Halstead's alleged German
and Bismarckian sympathies be proven,
he would oppose granting the exequatur.
Fortunately for Halstead, Nj. Villane is
not man with much influence, though
he generally contrives, in his way, to
make big fuss about small matters.

as little interest in the prize ring as
any man in the world. Ny name is eter-
nally mixed up with the subject because
in my schoolboy days formulated some
rules for our amateur sparring matches.
They were never intended for use in a
ring. / never stood at ring side but
once in my life. and that was at the Kill
rain-Smith fight in France"
But how about Sullivan
Il don't want to do any one harm
by my opinion, but am convinced that
Sullivan has done more to injure the SO
called profession of fighting than any
man in the world. No; of course / don't
believe that he means fight and haven't
the least idea that any of the big talk
now in vogue will ever get any of its
mouthpieces inside of the ropes and
stakes"
Intercepted as TO why he spent so
much time in this country, the Marquis
said: I'm tell you in a word. I'm a
social outcast-(with intense feeling(-
in England; a Pariah, disfranchised and
deprived of my seat in the house of lords

exhibition of prudishness on the part of
the lords. / come here to breathe the

SOME FURTHER FACTS.
AT the meeting of the board of
trade held January 6, when the

city should enter into the contract
(which was formally done-at n
subsequent meeting of the city
counciD Il short explanation in
connection with the contract was
made by Ex-Governor Warren,
president of the board of trade.
y dozen different plans have been
made out and each one larger
than the other. The largest one
contemplated the building OF
shops one mile long and half a
mile wide. This would have en-
tailed the expenditure of half a
million for ground alone.
Since Mr.. lIolcomb has come
to the road a change has been
made in these plans. They now
contemplate the space between
where the main line of the road
enters the city down to the Chey-
enne 4 Northern. The present
plans, on which work will be COM
menced at once, contemplate build
ings to cost half a million and
will employ 800 to 400 men the
present season. The shops, which
will be built within the next four
years, will employ from LOO to
1900 men, whose average wages
will be $40 per month. The ON
