! Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
WASHINGTON, January S.-The action
of the House Committee on Foreign
Affairs in deciding to consider the
Worlds Fair bill has caused lively
commotion among the representatives of
the cities striving to secure the fair.
The impression is growing that the
Chicago people have scored an advan-
tage in getting bill before the COM
mittee which is supposed to lean in it's
favor, and the other claimants are re-
sentful over what they regard as breach
of the spirit Of the agreement entered
into by the four cities. This morning
Representative Flower saw Speaker
Reed, and getting him to call several
members of the Committee on Rules to-
gether, earnestly requested on behalf of
New York, Washington and St. Louis,
that immediate provision be made for
the appointment of a select committee to
consider the Worlds Fair bill, and re-
lieve the Foreign Affairs Committee of
it's self-imposed duty. The Committee
on Rules will probably act on the request
tomorrow. At present some Of the mem
bers think we'll of the proposition to re-
port to the House something in the
nature of set of instructions to the
Foreign Affairs Committee, which will
direct it to formulate bill setting the
time for the Worlds Fair, and making a
suitable appropriation to meet the ex-
pense, but leaving to the House the
selection of the place where the fair is
| to be held.

company, at the Grand Monday next,

for purposes of fun and laughter, and
that it has achieved great results. The
troupe consists of three divisions pan
tomimic prologue, brilliant burlesque
operetta, and a high class vaudeville
company. Bessie Cleveland and Hilda
Thomas, two of the very best lady vocal
lists on the stage, play leading parts. The
Dare Brothers, athletic experts, Kitty
Hill, James R. Adams, Lulu Reddan,

their attendant evolution OF prosperity I
What would be thought of the business
acumen of corporation, that could only
be benefited by the new business that
would inevitably come to it from such q
development, if it should pursue policy
Of obstruction in the premises?
We have yet to learn that the men
who control the Southern Pacific are
blind to their own interests-that they
would rather suffer from dearth OF
business than invite rival road to open
up new avenues of traffic in which il
would largely share-in short, that they
are 80 short sighted as to stand in the
way of development that will bring un-
told benefits upon section in which
they are as deeply interested as the
people who occupy it.
A gentleman who stands very close te
the inside powers of the Southern Pacif,
assures us that that company is anxious
that the Union Pacific should reach thit
Coast at San Pedro 80 that its powerful
influence may be enlisted in the work O
securing from Congress the appropriation
necessary to create deep-water harbo
at that point. This is a pointer not to b.
despised.
We are fully satisfied that the Unio,
Pacific has started for Los Angeles t
reach there; and we do not believe tina
any deal is possible to prevent it from
carrying out its well-matured an
undetermined plan.

SOME person in London has sent to the
HERALD marked copy of Modern Truth,
which contains an article devoted to the
great scandal. This London journal
scarcely disguises the inuendoes in
which it duplicates Prince Albert Victor
himself in the disgusting mess. 1t asserts
that the present tour of the Prince in
India will be prolonged into the coming
summer, and that he will then be given
command there which will keep him
out OF England for years. This is a very
peculiar development, and the Prince's g
movements will be watched with great
interest. Modern Truth says that Sails
bury's Government is doing everything
in its power to suppress an investigation
but that there is a resistless public senti.
ment that will compel thorough in
vestigation.

TARIFF HEARINGS.
The Disttllers DO Not Want Free
Whiskey.

Whiskey.
WASHINGTON, January 8.-The Ways
and Means Committee this morning
heard more arguments on the tobacco
question, and in the afternoon heard
several gentlemen connected with the
wine and spirit interest. George 7.
Stagg, of Kentucky, read statement,
and said the distillers do not ask re.
peal of the internal revenue laws, as it
would, while increasing business, tenn
porarily result in over production and
consequent depression. They would like
to have the tax reduced from ninety to
fifty cents gallon. There were
other matters in which the distil-
lers sought relief, and they
were connected with the admins
tration of the law.
F. G. Earnest, of New Orleans, repre-
senting the rice millers, asked that in
the new tariff the bill of definitions of the
various kinds of rice be made more
exact.
Congressman Lansing, of New York,
endeavored to impress upon the COM
mittee the desirability of giving agri-
culture the same degree Of protection
given manufactures. The business of
raising seeds was practically manufactur-
ing. He wanted duty of 40 cents a
bushel on peas and beans raised for seed !;
20 cents, instead of 10 cents, on barley,
and 81, instead of 50, on hay.
Representatives of many leading cut
tobacco manufactures of the country
met here today and organized trade.

VERY singular vagaries seize upon some
people when they are making out their
last wills and testaments; but none OF
them show more curious eccentricity
than that of the lady in London who
recently devised three thousand pounds
sterling, the interest of which is to be
used in providing real champagne for
the use OF actors in scenes where wine is
called for by the piece. This lady had
probably been disgusted with the make

The Express affects to be very merry
over the HERALD's true picture of the
utter decentralization of the Harrison ad
ministration. If that journal will take
the trouble to talk with Republicans
hereab bouts it will find that disaffection
even in Los Angeles is 80 great as to be
quite ominous. We congratulate our
contemporary on the quite precipitate
manner in which it has dropped the
attempt to sustain the Council in its
plain violation of the law.

acter as to make him most sanguine Of
the speedy return of his party to power,
his hope of such a consummation was
not based solely on that fact, but as
we'll upon the assured conviction that
the tide of public opinion, was surely
turning in their favor.
Mr.. Gladstone lives q very regular
life at his home. He breakfasts lightly
about 7o'clock, and shortly before s
walks to the church for prayers. To
the intelligent observer the sight Of the
great statesman walking to church at
this early hour in the morning cannot
fail to be interesting. Clad in a long
coat, tightly buttoned, with a long
shawl wrapped closely around his neck,
and wearing a soft felt hat, his appear
ance is decidedly picturesque. Upon
his return to the castle from morning
prayers he retiSs to his study, where
he reads and answers, with the aid OF
his secretary, his enormous las Of
daily correspondence.
There is no regular hour for luncheon
at the castle, and it is partaken OF by
those at home at various times. In the
afternoon Mr.. Gladstone takes a walk
in the grounds, and if the weather is
propitious usually engages in his favor
tie exercise OF tree-chopping. He dimes
at s o'clock, afterward reads OIL writes,
and at 1Oretires for the night. Though
a%bstemious in his habits. he usually
drinks bitter beer with his lunch, and
a glass OF two of claret OF port at din
ner. MI. Gladstone is not in any sense
ascetic, is a generous liver, and is a
great believer in the virtues Of a glass
Of good port wine. When engaged in
speaking his flip is a compound OF
sherry and egg, which is prepared by
Mrs. Gladstone with as much anxiety
and care as if it were the elixir Of life.
Mr.. Gladstone never smoked. He ac-
CURED, his habits at a period when
tobacco : smoking was generally re
garded as somewhat vulgar among the
better classes.
Mr.. Gladstone usually has three
books in reading at the same time, and
changes from one 70 another as his
mind reaches the limit of absorption:
or when he fancies that the volume il
hand has interested him just enough
not to be the sole object Of thought
This mode of reading is intended to be

ways were estimated to cost 9l,S66, 6GG, Of
which that act authorized g1,250,0 900 to b.
raised by shares and e4l6.666 by mortgage

for thereafter for power to raise furthey
sums, and now still another is being pro
