Notwithstanding the protests OF the
ministry against the augmentation Of the
tariff committee on the basis proposed in
the government bill, the committee con-
tinued until an adjournment to raise the
tariff TO a prohibitive pitch. The repre-
sentatives OF the agricultural element
will support the prohibitive duties on
manufactures in the expectation that in
return they will obtain a close market for
farm products. They will wreck the bill
unless their demands are conceded.
William O'Brien, although beset by re-
porters, has not yet breathed word as to
whether or not he favors re-
Cancellation with Parnell. He has
received letter from lead

split must soon be repaired, otherwise the
liberals will be forced to subordinate
home rule for Ireland To other questions.

Colonel Pepon, chief of the Russian

THEIR POOL IN SILVER.
An Effort wnl lie Made To Find Out
Who Was In It.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-A final conclu-
sion in respect 10 the Dockery resolution
providing for the investigation of charges
that representatives and senators were
interested in the silver pool will probably
be reached by the rules Of the committee
soon after the holidays are over. The
committee when the subject was last
considered, discussed the advisablity of
summoning few witnesses 10 he inter
rogated under oath before reporting
further TO the house on the resolution.
II was thought that the regularly
subpoenaed correspondents on the
ST. Louis Giobe-Democrat in which the
charge of the legislative silver pool was
originally made might be willing to make
some more tangible statements than they
had published. or had been willing 10
volunteer 10 the committee. The speaker
was favorable 10 this course as he doubts
the propriety OF investigating charges
that do not make specific and definite al
legations with somewhat Of circumstan-
tial.detail and thought the rules committee
should have more Of a basis than simple
newspaper publication upon which to
order an investigation. The decision to re-
port Dockerys resolution 10 the house
with favorable recommendation was al
most reached when the shipping bill and
other matters came up and delayed the
final determination of what 10 do with
the resolution.

and it has not been agreed to
confer the power upon her. Sir John
Thompson, however. has good reason
for believing that during the present
and next session Of the imperial psrlia-
ment legislation conferine this power will
be placed. He is of the opinion that the
passage of Simon's copyright bill would
not affect the Canadian question, as that
measure gives British authors domestic
copyright in the United States on condi-
ton that the work Ia the United States
shall be reset with American type and re-
bound In the United States. An order in
the council was passed by the Canadian
government some time ago, asking the
colonial Office 10 withdraw Canada from
the Berne copyright connection.

AT THE NATIONS CAPITAL.
Gossip About Men and Measures In
Washington.

WAsHISGToN. Dec. S.-The secretary
OF agriculture to-day made an order 70
close all ports except ST. Adams, in the
collection district of Vermont, against
the importation of cattle, sheep and other
ruminauts and swine, and requiring that
all such animals imported through this
collection district must enter at the port
OF ST. Albans, where they must be in
spected by veterinary inspector Of the
department Of agriculture.
This is done as a protection against the
Introduction into this country from Can
ada OF any contagious disease affecting
these classes of animals. Suchinspection
is provided for by the act OF August 30, 1880
and in view Of the fact that the English
veterinary authorities at Dundee recently
seized Canadian cattle, declaring them
affected with contagious pleuro-pneu-
monia, Secretary Rusk feels il incumbent
upon him 10 take all measures necessary
for its rigid enforcement.
Moreover, England has prohibited the
importation into that country OF sheep
from the United States on the ground that
the government has not heretofore caused
TO be made an inspection or quarantine OF
sheep arriving here from other ports
of the world. The stringent regulations
Of Secretary Rusk are designed TO ensure
the protection of the live stock Of the
United States from imported diseases,
and 10 secure. il possible. removal of
the prohibitory restrictions now placed
upon animals exported from this country.
A statement prepared at the pension Of
fee shows up TO December 20 claims
filed under the act of June q, 1880, as
follows: Original valid claims, la, ,i05;
original widows, 55,6M additional claims
to others on file, sol, 1853; total, 531, ,399.
Acting on information from the treas
ury department TO the effect that an irreg-
ularity was suspected in consular authen-
tication Of Canadian goods imported into
the United States during the past Il
months, the secretary of state recently
determined on a thorough investigation
of the United States consular service in
the dominion Of Canada. While impos-
sible to obtain an official acknowledge
ment 70 that effect, il is understood that
extensive frauds have been discovered in
the shape of systematic differentiation
by consigners and in wholesale collection
OF illegal fees by consular officers.
The amount Of money involved is said
to be very large, but the exact sum can
not now be ascertained.

charges were proved the guilty would be

GLASGOW. Dec. 1.-THE strikes con.
tinue, but there is a prospect Of their soon
ending in favor Of the companies. The
Caledonia officials have declared the
strike practically over OH their road. Six
thousand men are working and the places
of many OF the 5000 who went out are
filed. The company expect 10 have rs
engines running Monday. The strikers
are still confident that they will bring the
company TO concede their demands on the
North British railway. They say 1000
men are out and are prepared to remain
out for six weeks.
Another serious result Of the strike is
announced in the statement that the
shipping trade Of this port will soon be at
a standstill, as the supply OF coal for
steamers is almost exhausted. Should
this state Of affairs continue much longer
considerable suffering will ensue among
the poorer classes. Many trades depend.
ing directly or indirectly upon the ship

As importers and metal dealers we
simply add the duty to the price of ou1

effect of the duty on tin will be widely

The duty under the new tariff will make
the cost Of a box Of 14x20 plate about 70
per cent greater than heretofore. Until
tin plate is manufactured in this coun-
try the consumer must pay that in
