 LONDON, July 12.-In the House of Commons last evening, MT. Howard Vincent asked. in view of the fact that free market had been accorded to American imports into Great Britain, while the heavy duties imposed upon British goods had nearly extinguished the National debt of the United States, If the Government would invite Amer lea to refrain from enforcing the pro hibitory tariff now before Congress, and instead give fair commercial re- ciprooity.
 Sir James Ferguson said that no such representations were likely to be successful.
 Sir James was further questioned as to what action Germany proposed to take tn the suggested development of free trade between England and Germany, and also between Great Britain and the colonies, as an offset to the hostile tariff in America. He replied that the Government had reason to believe tn at Germany did not intend to take any ac- tion in the matter at present. The joint measures suggested were incon- sisteHt with the fiscal policy of Eng land

AN uN0ERTAKER's TALK.
Metallic CoIIins That Cost From Fifteen
 Hundred to Three Thousad Dollars.

Metallic CofFins That Cost From Fifteen
 Hundred to Three ThousRd Dollars.
 IA new style of coffin is becoming worry fashionable, if the term can be used in this connection" said Fred Klaner. ''Some of these new styles are made like a box, square in shape, but they are beautifully trimmed in cOlors
 in drabs, tans, purples, ashes of roses, pink, lavender, steel gray and red. The material used is broadcloth or plush, and they are ornamented with cords of the same color in festoons. These cof- fins are quite expensive, but there is a decided demand for them. The bronze coffin is covered also with these colored goods if desired, but as the cost of the metallic coffin is from S1, 800 to SS, 900 they are used only in exceptional cases. The advantage gained by the use of this latter coffin is that before final burial in the earth they are sealed so as to be ab- solutely air-tight, and as a result there is not likely to be any decomposition of the remains for years to come. think that at present there is a tendency toward private burials. A good many people object to the pomp and display of the conventional affair and prefer a ceremony that is more quiet and more in keeping with the solemnity of the occasion. Many people attend funerals who will not sit in the same room with the corpse, and for many reasons like this it has become quite the thing to conduct funerals in a pri- vate way. Besides this, 1t is a great saving in the funeral expense.
 Do I often have calls for collins from
 people who can not pay? Oh, yes. Such requests are occasionally made. There are many poor people who will not al- low the remains of their relatives to be inferred by the county authorities in the cheap and rude fashion that marks those pauper burials. So they come to me, state their circumstances and ask ] me to furnish them with 8 coffin and
 wait until they can pay. I generally oblige them and take my chances on l getting the money. Sometimes they call safterward and settle, but in many cases they never pay me. But my fail. ure to get reimbursement was not the
 result of any deception. and SO am perfectly willing to accept the situation without complaining. I have the con. sciousness of having done a kind deed to console me and compensate me fol the financial loss. s."-Chicago Evening | Post.

THEY eEo FOR PRISON.

Siberian Exiles PrsEsT stono walls and Bars
 to aAvaCS Huts-
 To be condemned to reside ct vilinalE. in Siberia. Is in itself Q terrible punish ment The climate Is exceptionally rigorous, the soil sandy and sterile. Here and there, whom the summer is favorable, Q little barley can be grown on or near some marshes. Small shrubs and pines are the only vegetation, and there is scarcely any population
 Villages worthy of the name are soat- tered at distances of two or three hun dred miles from each other. These villages are connected with ono another At every ten miles or so by jurtAA or Slesping huts; but there Is nothing north of Vilinsk except Q real desert stretching on to the ocean
 The only communioa ton possible with the outer world is by the Yaxoutsk road, and this is practicable in summer and autumn to good riders. Even in the best season the traveller may be drowned in the marshes, or lose his way in the midst of thick forests, or be devoursd by the bears that abound in this dis trict.
 , What has given historical importance to SO inaccessible @ place ia the con- struction of political prison on its outskirts. This was built to receive Polish prisoners captured during the in- surrection of 1s63 When these Poles had died, or had been removed Co other parts of Siberia, the celebrated Russian author Toherniohevs<y was incarosrAted in this jail for thirteen years, but be did not die there. Toherni0hsvsky was ul. timAtely sent elsewhere, and died At Astrakhan in October, 1889.
 Vilinsk is SO small place that the po- htical exiles, though not numerous, have great difficulty in obtaining lodR- ing with the inhabitants. In 1889 there were only seven exiles ct vINnsk. Consequently the exiles are sometimes obliged to ask permission to live in the prison.
 The authorities, probably because il Is less troublesome and less sxpensivN, prefer sending them to live in vAFaouG oulous. This is the name given to the little villages inhabited by the abort, zines, which rarely oonsistof mora thau ten huts. To live in an oulous the exile must take with him provisions for sl least one year, as nothing whatever can be obtained on the spoA

THEY are having a red hot campaign on state issues down in South Carolina. It IS democrat against democrat, and even families are divided among them selves as to whether Farmer Tillman ought to be elected governor. Farmer Tillman claims that he is just as good a democrat as the regular democratic nominee, and he goes in for smashing the aristocratic ring, which he claims has had too much to say about things there. He has got the farmers on his side, and, from this distance, it looks as if he was fighting a winning battle. Farmer Tillman owns and carries on one of the biggest farms in the state. A few years ago he went into politics, and, attempted to make a speech, but he broke down. To-day he is conceded to be by far the best stump speaker in the tate,

LOTS OF QUEER FISH.
The Cenaua Bureau Provides . New List ~ Of Very Funny Ones.

uH NNEN ENuhay 0N3@s
 For the first time in the history of census taking in this country the bureau which conducts that important work finds itself now compelled, by an act of Congress, approved last March, to produce statistics regarding the fishes that inhabit the waters in and about the United States. The superinten- dents first contribution to this branch of human knowledge has just been pub lished in the shape of a list merely giv- ing the names of aquatic animals sought by fishermen" However, this list is surprisingly interesting to pe- ruse, so very many queer fishes there are in it, or, at all events, fishes with ex. ceedingly queer names.
 To begin with, it would appear that nearly all of the animals found on dry land have namesakes in the watery depths, fresh or salt Poking around among the unfathomed caves of ocean, following the beds of running streams, or far down the fluid crystal of the lakes, you will find the sea-hog-an in- sulting name for the sportive porpoise- the sea-lion, the sea-elephant, the sea- COW, which suckles its young, the porcu- pine-fsh, the sea-horse, the goose-ish, the toad-fish, the parrot-fish, otherwise known as slippery-dick. tho squirrel fish, the pig-hsh, the buffalo-fish, the tiger-shark, the cow-fish, other wise called the grampus-Sam Well ler's favorite though disrespect- full designation for his father - the wolf-fsh, the sea-robin and the flannel mouthed cat. Even the fabulous beast that is supposed to cherish against the lion such a moral enmity, though never found on the earth, is discovered in the | sea-unicorn.
 Besides these, if you are sufficiently industrious in your search beneath the waters, you will come across a sun-fish and a moon-fish, a devil-fish and an angel-fish, a cigar-fish and a pipe-flsh, a surgeon-fish and a doctor-ish, a king fish and queen-fish, silver-fish and a | goldfish; also a Jew-flsh, a bug-fsh, a cutlass-fish and saber-fish, and last, but not least, a puffing-grubby.
 l Such lots of crabs there seem to be- more kinds than ever you or l would have imagined-to bite your toes that wading, after all, might not be 8 safe amusement or pleasure, even though one were able to find all these curious fish. Just few of the available crabs hereabout are the fiddler-crsb; the oys'
 ter-crab, the rock-crab, the Jonah-crab
 the red-crab, the hermit-crab. the Joe
 rocker or green-crab, the lady-crab, the
 sand-crab, the blue-crah, the sea-crab,

 list, such as the many-armed cuttle-fish

"THE Mckinley bill is pre-eminently an American measure, framed for the protection of and development of American industries" says our republi- can contemporary. It strikes us that Blaine's proposition for free trade be- tween all the American nations might more properly be called an American measure, even if it goes beyond the moderate tariff proposed by the demo- crats.

BARRIERS in San Francisco who were dis
satisfied with the condition of affairs
that compelled them to work from early
morning until late at night met and re-
solved to remedy the matter. They
formed themselves into the BARRIERS
Eight O'Clock Closing league, and de-
cided to commence an agitation that
would result in closing every barber
shop in the city at 8 o'clock every night
except Saturday. At last success has
crowned their efforts, and every estab-
lishment of repute has acceded to their
wishes.
When the clock strikes 8 at night the
BARRIERS doff their jackets and 90 home,
and having accomplished what they
aimed at they now seek to make the
league useful as free employment
bureau, and to use their meeting place
as permanent headquarters where trav-
cling fellow craftsmen may be welcomed.
