Judgment, the stringency is attributable
mainly to the remarkable activity in bust
ness Of all kinds in connection with the
great advance in values during the last IS
months, The increase CT values September
1st of three products of agriculture-wheat,
corn and oats-based upon the crop and
prices of 1889, amounted to over S7Co0Co,0c0
Ii to this be added the increased price Of all
other products of industry, the total increase
this year will doubtless largely exceed ST.
e00,000,000 This increase of values necessa-
rily requires much larger amount of mon

usual demand from the South and West

How Leary Escapes Paying Duties
When his Logs Are Rated.

New YORK. September IA. The Leary
raft, which arrived yesterday at the Brook
lyn dock, was the third and last one Of the
season. Although eight sections. valued be-
tween s35 900 and $4,000 were lost, the profit
in the remaining six sections win pay for
venture. The first Leary raft Of the season
came down In the early summer, and was
landed here without loss. Two sections Of
the second and largest raft were lost be-
tween st. John and Portland. The third
raft was divided in two parts. The larger
part, Of eight sections, encountered storms
between Rockland and Portland. The tugs
were in danger of laundering. They cut
the raft loose and ii was soon broken up
against the rocks.
During the season timber to the value OF
nearly 100000 has been started, and though
the lost logs would have been worth about
$4,000, In this market, the profit Is still very
great. The logs could be shipped by schoOn-
or, but this way is expensive. Not only
would the freight charge be high, bnt as the
logs are cut In Canada there would be
heavy duty to pay. The raft does not have
to pay duty IL Is built In st. John, aud Is
sent out from there as vessel. The tugs
which have this vessel in charge tow 1t in
to the harbor at Portland, Me-, and there IL
Is reconstructed. 1t leaves Portland as a
foreign-built vessel, reconstructed In Amert-
can waters. Thus the lumber duty Is avoid
ed and the raft enters New York harbor free.

New YORK, September 13.-About 2OC1
people responded to the call of the five
local assemblies X. of L. to hold mass
meeting in Union Square tonight to express
sympathy with the striking employees of the
New York Central and Hudson River rail-
road. The meeting was address by Thos.
Mcguire, j. o. Keefe, Hall G. Bowen, VIM.
Woods and Geo. Murray, all we'll known
labor men, and Rev. Hugh O. Pentecost and
DR.. McGlynn. Resolutions were read and
adopted. They set off by stating that
Chauncey M. Depew has tried to defeat the
efforts of labor by refusing to listen to the
just demands of his employees or arDitrate
with them. They protest against the en-
ployment of Pinkert0n men and demand
law compelling employer and employe to
arbitration and abide by the decision. The
resolutions also demand that the railroad
property OF the country be controlled by the
government.
Mr.. Powderly was then called upon. He
said he had addressed 25 meetings in differ

Republicans In Caucus over the Nc
KInley Tariff Bill.
Kennedy on Quay: The Speech as
Delivered and as Revised.
Saturday In Congress Devoted to Re-
membranes of the Dead.

WASHINGTON, September 49, The Repub-
lican representatives met in caucus tonight
to discuss the procedure to be adopted re-
specting the disposition of the Senate amend
ments to the tariff bill. The main PROPOSE
tion was one coming from the Republican
members of the ways and means committee
and embodied in the resolution introduced
today in the House Of Representatives by
Mr.. Mckinley looking to the consideration
of the amendments in the House instead of
in committee of the whole, and vote on
them after reasonable debate.
Mr.. Mckinley explained that he had al
ready communicated with the minority men,
bers of the ways and means committee on
the subject. While the majority was desir-
GUS there should be no debate, it was felt
expedient to offer the minority reasonable
time. The Democratic members of the ways
and means committee had promised to can
vasS their party colleagues and inform the
majority Monday what time they desired for
debate.
There was considerable discussion in the
caucus of the proposed programme. and
while most of the speakers favored it, others
were not wanting who contended that the
amendments should be considered in COM
mlttee OF the whole or in some way that
would afford opportunity for an expression
of opinion on certain of the Senate amend
ments. Mr.. Payson led the party in a
speech in which he insisted that no general
motion to non-concur should be considered
and gave notice that he should oppose it,
He claimed the right to present his views on
every question in the House He was for
free binding twine, for the House sugar
schedule, and should stand for these things,
denying the right of the conference commit
fee to act as his agent in the first instance
Mr.. Reed took a hand in the discussion.
pointing out the necessity for the course
proposed in the interest of an early adjourn
ment and harmony. So many members de-
sired to express their opinions that it be-
came necessary to apply the five minute rule.
Upon viva vOce vote Mr.. McKinley's plan
was adopted and the committee instructed
to fix the time to be allowed for debate and
bring in special rule early in the week.

ROYALTY IN AMERICA
Stlrs Up Social strife, Sees the
Town and is "Pulled In"

MONTREAL, September 13.-A sensation
has been caused in fashionable French-C Can
adian circles by the outspoken articles Of
LIE National on what the journal pleases to
call 'the aristocraey Of Montreal" in con-
nection with the reception to Prince George
OF Wales. LIE National says: SIT Is strange
fact that out of 500 eminent rate-payers of
Montreal. there are, according to the NUM-
cipal census, on S5 French Canadians to face
416 Englishmen and IIishmen."
La Patrie Tidicules those who forget that
we live In the new world. 1t also points out
that the President of the United States opens
the doors of the White House to all who
wish to enter, and whether a man be presi-
dent or king, he should be at all times acces-
sible.
1t jeers at the prince who would urge his
subjects to fight for him, whose hand they
were not permitted to touch. In the old
world royalty is intrenched on ali sides, but
in the new, 1t says although a man be poor
he Is nevertheless a citizen, and worthy of
respect. The federal min sters, 1t says, have
lost fine opportunity of popularizing
young prince, who, one day, may become
King of Britain.
Wednesday evening, while "doing the
town." the Prince was attacked by roughs
and, with his party, was obliged to use his
fists In good old English style. Then po-
liceman locked the whole crowd up, and the
young man who may yet be the King of Eng
land spent an hour as a prisoner, before his
identity was established to the satisfaction
| Of his capt0rs.
