RETALIATION WANTED.
Meeting of the Committee on ReIa-
tions With Canada.

NEW YORK, December 30.-The United
Canada met this morning in the Federal
building. There were present Senators
aoar of Massachusetts, chairman, Hale of
Maine, Dolph of Oregon and Pugh of Ala
bama.
The first witness examined was Fritz j.
Babson, who for II years was collector of
port at Gloucester. He entered into long
statement of fishery questions and urged that
fishing vessels should have the same privi-
leges accorded to them that is accorded to all
other vessels of the worlds merchant ma
rine, under permits that are granted. Wit
ness c0ntended that the only way to remedy
the difficulty and the difference now existing
was to withdraw from all British vessels
such commercial rights as were withheld
from American vessels in British waters.
The practical grievance of the American
fishermen is the denial to them of the right
to buy anything that is lawful and proper in
every Canadian port, or the denial to them
OF the rights that are accorded other com
stsiat Gy Sfat proper legislation IN Gongress son
be taken, and he advocated retaliation as the
very best way to obtain the end sought for
He did not believe in treaties. They were
worthless in cases of this kind.
Erastus Wiman said that his knowledge of
the fishery question was very slight and he
spoke Of the general desire of the Canadians
for closer relations with this country. The
thought, were not at the present time satis-
factory. In the opinion of the witness Can
adian railroads have moved q vast bulk of
western products and emigrants. These
roads he considered an important factor in
competition. Under the present national
government of Canada there is nothing tow
ard encouraging closer relationship with
America.

CUBAN ASPIRATIONS.
More About the Effect of Mr.. Calls
Measure on the Island.

New YORK, December 30.-A Washington
specials says: The recent dispatches from
Havana stating that the resolution brought
'sNss so II s's f'ait of Florida n, tha Canata
has had an inspiring effect on the patriot Of
Cuba. simply confirms what. at the time, was
predicted for the Senator's action. The res
olution came from native Cubans residing in
this country, who are in communication with
their old friends on the island, and who as.
sert that spirit for self-government prevails
there, strong enough to accomplish its object
If only encouraged by the assurance that
an effort in that direction would meet with
the appreciation of the people of this coun-
try. And now the question comes up, what
will follow the introduction of the resOlu-
tion, and how soon? The end, for time at
least, has been reached here The resolu-
tion has gone to the committee on foreign
affairs, and will probably slumber there for
awhile. The committee is leisurely, not to
say slow. Senator Call cannot bring it up,
or submit any remarks upon it before for
nal report is made. But meanwhile action
at the other end of the line may be brisk
and may have tendency to hasten matters
here. Astonishment is expressed at the size
OF the demonstration already made, and it is
looked upon as significant that 1000 men in
the small town of Key West paraded with
torches in favor of Cuban independence.

DON'T WANT HIM PARDoNED.
His Relatives Petition Against the
Release of Murderer Knight.

AUGUSTA, December 30--The neices and
nephews of George Knight, the Poland wife
murderer. have written quite remarkable
letter to the Governor and Council, dated
Portland, in which they petition that par
don shall not be granted Knight, who is now
serving life sentence in State prison for
this crime. They say: "His was a most
-blooded, ,premeditated murder, and those
OF us who knew the circumstances have no
doubt of his guilt. We know of no extenu
ating circumstances. He is not repentant,
still asserts his innocence, and his only idea,
since Communication from hanging, has been to
get out of prison and perform the motives
for which the crime was committed. He does
not seem to realize how impossible it is at
this distant day to accomplish what he was
hindered by law from doing. He has sent
money to different lawyers TO bring his case
before nearly every Governor of Maine. He
has now sent money to Lawyer Perry of
Portland, and it seems an outrage to the
children of the murdered wife. 1t is an out
rage in which the nieces and nephews share.
We feel the loss of near and dear relative,
whose unnatural and untimely murder we
shall never cease to deplore, she leaving six
children by her first husband more than

OUR ARTISTS ABROAD AND THE TARIFF.
Their Case Presented With that of
Chemical Manufacturers.
Methods Suggested to Rid the ocean
of Abandoned Vessels,
And to Give it More Ships Flying the
stars and Stripes.

WASHINGTON, December 30-The House
committee on ways and means met this
morning to hear persons interested in the
chemical industry. A large number of rep
resentatives of this interest were present.
Among them were Il. Bower of Philadel-
phia and I'll. b. Rosengarten of Philadelphia
representing Quinine manufacturers; from
Syracuse representative the only manufac-
tory of caustic soda, soda ash and bi-carbo-
nate of soda in this country: A. Penrose AL
len of Philadelphia, representing manufac-
turers of phosphorus; William d. Farris,
secretary of the Baker Castor Oil Company
of New York. They favored the retention
of the present duty, or an increase.
Thomas White. of the Brooklyn Sulphur
Works, advocated reduction of the duty on
sublimated flour.
President Armstrong, of the Pennsylvania
Salt Company, advocated a specific duty of
a quarter of cent per pound on sulphate of
soda. instead of the present rate of 20 per
+. Rawolle, OF Marr & Rawolle, New York
favored the abolition of the tax on alcohol,
or reduction of the present tax.
William I'll. Manning, of the Albany Chem
ical Company, favored the retention of the
present tax on alcohol. He held that if the
tax on alcohol used in the arts and manufac-
lures was abolished, drunkenness would in
crease.
Representative Tracy of New York said
the duty on the articles used in the manufac-
ture of aniline dyes should be abolished.
Henry q. Stewart of Philadelphia advo-
Gated an increased duty on earth paints.
j. Carroll Beckwith, president, and Ken
yon Cox, secretary, of the National Free Art
League, advocated the total abolition of the
duty on works of art. w. A. Coffin, of the
executive committee of the League, said
that the taxing of foreign works did not
help American artists, but rather put them
in an inferior position. The duty was tax
on education. No duty was levied on
works of art by any other nation which pre-
tended to be civilized.
Henry Mertz of New York, representing
the aniline industry, advocated the classif-
cation of the duties Cd aniline dyes, which
would result in an average increase of or
per cent.
Robert w. Leslie of Philadelphia, repre-
senting the American Improved Cement
Company, advocated specific duty of eight
cents per hundred pounds on cement in bar
rels, and seven cents in bags or bulk.
A. M. johnson, manufacturing chemist, of
Boston, favored the retention of the present
duty on aliZarine.
M. j. Rosengarten of Philadelphia favored
the imposition of duty of ten cents per
ounce on sulphate of quinine.
A. l.. Thompson, of Baltimore, advocated
an increase to 40 per cent of the duty on un-
enumerated chemicals.
The committee adjourned until tomorrow.

ment of DR.. Cerrish.

AUGUSTA. December 3O-The quarterly
meeting of the State Board of Health was
held at the secretary's office today. DR..

have arrived in this city.
For the present only sections Of the road
will be built, the intention being TO utilize
for time the magnificent stretches.of water
communication in Siberia. Having com
pleted their survey, the engineers spent
short time in Japan, aud then
were Orirred to examine the
Canadian Pacific. They went over the Rocky
Mountain section three times, and were
greatly impressed with the en- gineering skill
and boldness exhibited there. The i0ute
they surveyed also passed through noun
tain0us country. but the mountains are not
so high as the Rockies, and the road will be
much easier TO construct. The Siberian
plains, through which sections Of the road
will run, are much like the Canadian North
west. but more plentifully timbered. The
climate. while considerably colder In winter,
Is warm In summer. and the country Is well
fitted for agriculture.
MONTREAL, December 30.-Estimating for
December, the net earnings Of the Canadian
Pacific Railway for the past year above work
ing expenses are S6,029,0O0. Total surplus,
S2,576,000. The directors Of the company de-
cided today to declare a supplementary divi-

Influential in the city, in reply to this. ad

which he refuses to join in the effort sug-
gested. Following are, in substance, the
reasons he assigns fer his refusal:
"After several years of trial of prohibition
in this city, the law has proved miserable
farce. The county has been put to an i'm
mense amount of trouble and expense in the
prosecution of suits against liquor dealers,
and all to no purpose. l do not believe that
