rr,nute to Prince Biamarek.

BERLIN May Tn the upper house OF
the Prusslan diet to-day General Won
Csprivi, imperial chancellor, declared
he was in accord with the chamber in its
traditional love for Prussia. During the
debate on the budget, which then began,
Baron Won Pfuehl expressed the thanks
of the house for Chancellor Van Caprivi's
sentiments and as a reporter of the budget
committee, thanked Prince Bismarck
for the support he had constantly given
to agriculture while in office. He paid
warm tribute to the late chancellor
and declared that to this policy Germany
owed her favorable financial position.
Next to the emperor, Germany owed her
position in the world to Prince Bismarck.
The gratitude of the house to the prince
would therefore never die out. He pro-
posed that statue of Prince Bismarck
be erected in the chamber as q model OF
patriotism, loyalty and industry. He
concluded his remarks with an assurance
of devotion to the emperor, who he said
steered the ship of state with a young,
yet with a secure hand. Count Hohen-
thai concurred in the remarks made by
Baron Won Pfuhl. In the course of the
debate the count indicated the necessity
for providing q substitute for the Socialist
law, which expires in October.

orous in tone, declaring the returns an
obvious lie and setting up against the
count as made from the mouth of ballot
box statements of negroes who cast q
large share of ballots. The theory
upon which the entire proceeding in this
contest is based is in plain terms that the
negro would not vote a Democratic
ticket. The ground the Democratic side
will take in lighting for Turpin IS reten-
ton will be that the witnesses against
him are ignorant and untrustworthy and
have merely been made tools of unsoru-

A HOWL GOES UP.
Reorganization Of the System OF
Licensing Public Houses.
Nearly Half Million Tons Of Wheat
Held at Various Azof Ports
for Better Prices.
The Great Labor agitation in London Dying
out-The Men Have Generally Got
What They Struck For.
Popular With No Faction.


Special to the Gazette.
LONDON, May THE fight which
the Radicals and Temperance party are
making against the governments bill
recognizing the system of licensing
public houses, their opposition
being directed particularly against
the proposal to compensate publicans
for the loss of their licenses by reason of
the curtailment of the number to be is
sued, is becoming more formidable
daily. The government is literally
flooded with protests against 1he meas
ure, and every member of the house
of commons without regard to his
politics has received one or
more petitions from his constituents
or some other source, beseeching him to
vote down the offensive clause. The
basis of the opposition of the total alb
stainers is the provision COM
mitting public authorities to the
purchase of the licenses to be revoked,
which plan, they claim, opens the way
to collision between the retiring publi-
cans, and the authorities to the end of de-
frauding the treasury. This question
they maintain is of sufficient importance
q
when they hope to elect a number of
purely temp erance candidates to parlIa-
ment on the issues raised
HELD FOR HIGHER PRICES.
W. G. Wagstaff, British consul at
Saganrog, on the north shore of the sea
of Azof, reports that there are nearly
half a million tons of wheat slowed
at various Azof ports awaiting better
prices in England. At the present
prices the owners assert that the ship
ment of the grain to British ports would
involve heavy loss, despite the fact that
vessels are easily obtainable at rates very
little above the actual cost of carrying
owing to the stagnation- of the shipping
trade.
RETURNING TO WORK.
Gradually the effects of the great labor
agitation now prevalent are becoming
manifest in the voluntary or enforced
concessions to their employees on the
part of the masters. Already the master
tailors are weakening, and a large
number of striking journeymeu are re-
turning to work for the terms for which
they struck, the result being that the
strike which promised to become geneal
yesterday is about over. The firm of H.
w. CASTOR & Co., proprietors of
one of the largest type found
RES in England, have granted
an e1ght-hour day TO their employees at
the same pay they formerly received for
ten hours labor.
TELEGRAPHIC CONVENTION.
The government has decided to request
other powers to participate in an inter-
national Geographic convention to
be held in Paris to discuss
the feasibility of reducing telegraphic
tolls throughout Central Europe to the
uniform rate of 2 . cents a word.
1t is reported in Berlin that the United
States government contemplates the es-
tablishment of q consulate at Casul.

.MILLS THERE.
The Great Tariff Debate of 1890
Opens in the House.
Mckinley and Mills Speak for their Re-
speetiye Parties-The Texan APP
pears at His Best
Some Complaint at the short Time Allowed for
the Contest of Words, but the Pubic
Think it's Long Enoushs
The Tariff Fight.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, May THE tariff battle
opened to-day, and the forces of each
party were in the fracas. The galleries
were filed with spectators. The general
debate will close on Saturday, when the
FIVE minute rule will be applied,
and then will follow the de-
bate in sections and amendments.
1t is said that the bill will not be cut
much, but this assumption is very san
guine one and it is not likely the commit
tee can hold the house together on the
bill as reported. Mr. Mckinley made
strong appeal from the pretectionist IS
standpoint and was congratulated
by his colleagues for his mastery
effort. Mr.. Mills followed for the DEM
ocrats and like Mckinley was given two
hours. He cited leading English author
tiles and American free trade thinkers to
sustain his position. he talked in
clear and ringing voice, warming up to
mis- subject and handling it il
a free and easy manner. He never ap-
peared to better advantage, and his col
leagues crowded around him to catch
every word, applau6ing his well sus-
tained points. It was big day for
Mills, and he received warm cougratu-
lations tor the splendid argument he
made to sustain the position of his party
ON THE GREAT QUESTION.
Some of the Republicans who are
anxious to secure amendments to the
Mckinley bill are threatening to fight
against the proposition of the committee
approved by the Republican caucus to
Hnit the discussion under the flve-minute
saHie to eight days and the general de-
bate to four days. The Democrats are
protesting against this short limit OF
time proposed, but if the interest does
not grow with the debate the house may
be tired enough of the matter, before the
discussion is over. Mr.. Reed will
not speak and many others
will doubtless follow his ex-
ample upon the theory that the
tariff has been pretty well discussed al
ready IN its various phases.

GRAINS OF GOLD.

Go not to sleep in malice.
Every morning is a new mercy.
All is not gained that is gathered.
None but the vicious deride virtue.
Anger restrained, is conquest gained.
A covetous person is always in want.
Kind words never blister the tongue.
Passion leaves us weaker than it finds
us.
Virtue has many preachers, few mar
tyrs.
Rather follow the wise than lead the
foolish.
Prepare for the worst, and hope for
the best.
Ifyou mean to advance, eye those be-
fore you.
Bad is the condition that loathes ad-
monition.
Desire rather to be innocent than to
appear so.
Nothing essential to happiness is un-
attainable.
Men may be judged by their associates
and books.
None are more rich than those who
are content.
Sin may be clasped so close we cannot
see its face.
Difidence and caution are preserva-
tives from error.
1t is not difficult to get the best of
those who love us.
One of the sublimest things in the
world is plain truth.
Never indulge vicious thought, lest
into action it be brought.
Experience keeps dear school, but
fools will learn in no other.

THE COAL TRfDE.
Review of the Market - Domestic Sizes
Continue Very Durl.

Review of the Market - Domestic Sizes
Continue Very Dull
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 10.-The Ledger
says: The anthracite coal trade contin-
ues very dull for domestic sizes and as
active as ever for the furnace and small
steam sizes, which have become very
scarce. The price for pea coal has been
advanced Sl.40 to 81. 80 at the mines.
and most of the shippers are disinclined
to book new contracts for that size, as
they have already more orders than they
can supply.
Some of the iron furnaces in the Ie-
high and Schuylkill valleys have begun
to use broken coal to make up the short
ness in the supply of lump and steam
boats. and this will afford some relief to
the market, which is gorged with a
large accumulation of broken, egg, stove
and chestnut sizes. The prices for
anthracite are now weaker than they
have been at any time since last May
Shading of the circular figures is being
done openly even by the large mining
and carrying companies. The Reading
company is selling to everybody at 10
cents per ton below the circular prices
and the agents of the Pennsylvania rail
roads coal companies are reported as
selling their anthracite at 20 to % cents
per ton below the circular prices

engine in the Akron yards. Miller was
an engineer, and to avoid injury he
jumped from his engine when he saw
that collision was inevitable. His in

totally disable him from work. The

THE PENNSYLVANIA STEEL WORKS
Will Compete With the Great Shipbuild-
ing Firms on the Clyde.


BALTIMORE, Feb. 10.-A year ago a
prominent official of the Pennsylvania
Steel works. at Sparrow Point, predicted
that that company would ultimately in
clude in its business the casting of heavy
guns and building of steel steamships.
Before these two great industries could
be added, Bessemer and rail mill for
the conversion of the iron pro uct into
steel was necessary. The erection of this
was commenced some months ago. and
now plans are being made that will re-
suit in the introduction of a plant by
which the Pennsylvania Steel company
will be enabled, in the near future, to
build the largest iron and steel steam
ships. Major Luther F. Bent, the presi-
dent of the company, and F. w. Wood,
general manager, are devoting their
whole attention to the plans at Steelton,
Pa.
Col. Franklin, superintendent at Spar
row Point, said that the company would
confine itself at first to building coast
wise steamships, as the laws of the
United States prohibited them from be-
ing built in a foreign country, but after
awhile Sparrow Point would enter into
competition with the great shipbuilding
firms on the Clyde. He thought it pos
sible for steamships to be turned out as
cheaply in this country as abroad.
