New Orleans and the NAVY Yard.

! The report of the commission which ex-
amined the different localities on the South
/ Atlantic and Gulf coasts that were thought
/ to be suitable as sites for a navy yard, and
which reporte in favor of New Orleans,
has not yet been sent to congress. IL is in
/ the Office of the Secretary of the Navy, and
| the delay fthat official in sending it to con-
gress with his recommendation that it be
acted upon favorably is causing great I'M
easiness in New Orleans The people of that
city are beginning 70 suspect that there is
movement prevent her from getting the
navy yard. and there appears to be some
ground for their suspicion.
The New Orleans newspapers are inclined
to think that the northern republicans are
opposed to using in the south any more of
the public money than can be helped, and
they also assert that soma OF the southern
congressman, who are interested in other
southern cities, are doing all they can
against New Orleans in this navy yard
III itier. Tney, therefore, call upon all the
friends of New Orleans to unite in demand
ing that the rep rt of tho commission be
sent to congress az oncs, and that steps be
taken Immediately after 1t is received TO
have it acted upon.
The anxiety Of the people of New Or
leans in this matter is very natural, and it
is not at all improbable that efforts are
being made co prevent the construction
of a navy yard in that city. 1t is
quite safe to say that it will be long time
before it is finally determined to establish a
navy yard at any point in the south. The
matter will probably drag along iu congress
for several years, and unless the Louisiana
congressman show extraordinary skill and
persistency, no decisive action with respect
to it may ever be taken.
When the commissioners were engaged in
collecting material for their report it was
pointed out to them that the proposed navy
yard ought to be on the South Atlantic
coast, and that Savannah was the place for
it. They thought differently, however, but
it is by no means certain that the Secretary
of the Navy agrees with them or that col-
gress will when it gets chance to pass upon
their report. As far as We know, however,
Savannah is not antagonizing New Orleans,
cation over when the report of the com mis-
sioners was made. 1t is the duty of the
Secretary of the Navy and of congress,
however, to act in accordance with their
Judgment with respect to the location, and
it may be that the delay of which New
Orleans complai is grows out of a conviction
that the commissioners made mistake.

Danger that May Be Averted.

The frequent visits of northern capitalists
to the south show that this section offers
great inducements for investments, and the
coming of farmer excursionists, such as the
Ohio party, is ample evidence that our su-
perior climate and soil are attracting de-
sirable class of immigrants. Millions of
dollars have been invested by northern men
in southern mines, mills and factories in
the last ten years, and if our popula-
ton has not been considerably
increased by the addition of enter
prising farmers from the north and
west it is only because our agricultural re-
sources have not been sufficiently adver-
tised. There are nu ubers of such farmers
in the south, however, and, almost without
exception, they are doing well. They have
been Hospitality received. aud the reports
which they send to their former homes will
necessarily be advantageous to the south.
The investments made here by northern
| capitalists are thus far safe and profitable.
Everybody concerned is pleased with
| what has been accomplished. and if no
retarding influences are brought to bear
upon southern progress, the south will in
prosperous ssct.o ns of this country. There
is danger ahead, however. Republican
leaders in Washington seem determined, if
possible, to enact legislation that would
have an injurious effect upon sou hern
! development. The ostensible object of the
proposed federal election law is to protect
the ballot, but the real object of it Is to
place congressional and presidential cleo
tions in the south in the hands of repub-
ican returning boards, for the advantage
OF the Republican party. The assertion Of
some newspapers, that such law would be
fatal to southern progress and would bring
business to andstill, is not we'll founded.
| Nothing that is at all likely
to happen would have that effect,
but such pernicious legislation would
be very unfortunate, because it would be
! productive of an unsettled state of affairs.
| This is not matter that concerns the south
alone and the protests that will be made
against the proposed legislation will come
from all sections. Northern people who
believe in fair play will be heard from, and
those who have put money into southern
enterprises will demand that their interests
| be protected. Northern republican con-
gressmen are not likely to pay muc1 at.
tention to the protests of southern people,
but they will hardly disregard those of
| their own constituents.

Augustus Cotton Exchange Protests
Against the Conger Bill.
WASHINGTON. March 17.-Since the re-
port by the subcommittee of the House
committee on agriculture to the full COM
mittee of the Conger bill defining and tax
ing compound lard, TIE committee has
received a number of kilograms from
various points in the south prote ting
agai st tue passage of the bill taxing COM

the interest of this cotton country, earnestly
protest against the passage of the Butterworth
and Conger bills the effect of which will be to

The report that 10th Prince Bismarck
and his son, Count Herbert Bismarck, had
resigned was the occasion Of a great deal of
comment in European capitals yesterday
If tn report Of Prince Bismarck's reslgna-
tion should prove to be true it would not
cause a great deal Of surprise. He was
greatly disappointed at the result of the re-
cent elections, and he feels that he is getting
too old 20 bear the burdens which the
formation Of a majority in the Reichstag
20 support the government would impose
upon him. IL may be also that he is not in
full accord with the emperor in some very
important respects. His retirement from
public lie would be an event, however, that
would attract wide attention

public Favors Free Trade.

RAO+A( 6NOA6 E100 4La0O.
WASHINGTON, March 17.-Discussion Of
the reports of the committee on custom s
union was continued at to-day's session Of
the pan-American conference At Satur-
days session NJ Saenz-Pena of the Argen
tine Republic spoke for an hour or more
IN favor of free trade between Ameri-
can nations, stating that the tariff
levied by the congress of the United States
stood il the way Of extending the COM
merce between this country and the South
American states.
Ia answer TO this c. r. Flint, one of the
delegates from the United States, presented
official figures by which it appears that Of
the total amount Of produce pu chased by
merchants OF the United States fr m the
countries of South and Central America S77S
per &c t. was admitted free Of duty, leavis z
only 1915 per cent. with which to trade for
reciprocity. The total value of imports
was Sl2J,560, S25, of which sl4, 79s, 147 was
dutiable
WHAT WE GET IN EXCHANGE.
In exchange for tn se imp irts, Mr.. FIJI
said, the South aid Central American
states buy from the United States $50, 623,-
94l, on which the countries to the south
charge duty on over 80 per cent, adj
hitting less than $1,000 900 free of duty.
Inc discussion was further participated
IN oy Mr.. Henderson of the u nited States.
Senior Saenz-Pena of the Argentine Re-
public, Senior Romero of Mex c., and Senior
Guz nan of Nicaragua. 1t was then post
poned without action on the reports until

donca OF Brazil presented his project for the
erection of a monument il Washington il

CANApAY HARD TO DUST.
Quay Nay, However, Get His Friend
in James &. Youngs Place.


WASHINGTON. March 17-When ex-
Senator Malone suggested TO his friend
Senator Quay that if be could turn Cana
day out OF the Office of sergeant-at-arms it
would at once pique Sc ato- Sherman,
plelse ex-senator Malone. and make a
plaza for ex-State Treasurer Bailey, whom
senator Quay had fail to get appointed
commissioner OF Pac fic railro ads, Senator
Quay jumped at it and went right TO work
on that Ii e. He found DIR. Canaday
strongly entrenched in the support of the
older senator's, but assuming tat he could
nevertheless get Mr.. Cauaiay out by utiliz-
ing the dissatisfaction al ways existing to-
ward him, be found that it would be i'm
prac lcable TO get the place fer Mr.. Bailey
while James r. Young, the well-known
Pbllad lphla newspaper man and brother
of John Russell Young, held the Office of
principal legislative Gle X
YOUNG MAY BE REMOVED.
This proved his greatest obstacle. Ac-
cordingly, be has been eudeavoring to re-
move it. Mr.. Young, who was appointed
largely by the influence of Simon Cameron,
has Lad the support of Don Cameron, but
has never had Senator Quay's. Now Sena-
tor Quay, and not Senator Cameron. is the
boss of Pennsylvania, and as Senat r Quay
prefers ME-. Bailey 10 Mr.. Young, the latter
viii probably retire 1t will not necessarily
follow that r. Canaday will be removed or
that Mr.. Bailey will be appointed M.
Canaday's successor if he is removed. In
the multitude of candidates is safety for the
incumbent and danger in this case for Mr..
Bailey. But Mr.. Bailey may get Mr.
Young's place. Senator Quay may drop
IL soon to fix it all w.
OTHER CHANGES PROBABLE.
This attempt to dislodge Sergeant-at-
ltanA0AV rot fhnr
changes among the minor officers of the
Senate. Gen. Arson 6. McCook of New
York, secretary of the Senate, was elected
largely through the iuhneacs of Warner
Miller, then in the Senate. Warner Miller
has very little influence 10 the Senats now,
but Gen. McCook has the formal supp rt, at
least, of the present New York seoators
and the friendship of many others, includ-
ing especially the old soldiers and the
younger men. But the chief clerk, Charles
w. johnson, of Minnesota, has been at
tackled from Minnesota as well as from the
floor OF the Senate, and while he has the
strong support of Senator Washburn he
may be dislo1ged.
YOUNG SURE TO GO.
Mr.. Young is pretty certain to go under
Senator Quay's pressure, Senator Quay
giving him a chance to resign. The three
or four other important clerks are believed
to be secured.
Mr.. Canaday will have to move out of
the Office of sergeant-at-arms ultimately,
but all his principal subordinates, from old
Isaac Bassstt down, have influence enough
to be kept in.
The postmaster Of the Senate was chosen
this session, and will not be disturbed,
neither will Amzi Smith, the indispensable
superintendent of the document room, bat
there will probably be a number of changes
among the minor subordinates if Mr. Cana

Last week the Louisiana Lottery Com
pany sent to Gov. Nichols a check for
100000 to be used to help protect the
people from inundation in louisiana. The
governor refused to accept it. He wrote
the company dignified letter, in which he
said: "On the eve Of a session Of the legisla-
ture during which the renewal or extension
of your charter will be acted upon-a ques-
ton vitality affecting the interests of this
state-I have no right to place the people
under obligations to your company, in how
ever small a degree, by my acceptance of a
gratuity from it. l here with return You
the check" The company sent check for
$4,000 to Mayor Shakespeare, of New Or
leans, for expenditure in that city, and the
mayor accepted it. Does the action of the
company mean that 1t is going to try to get
the Louisiana legislature to extend its
charter?

YOUNG SURE 10 GO.
DUTIES ON SUGAR.
The Agreement of the Majority of
the house Committee.

The Agreement of the Majority of
the house Committee.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE republican
members of the ways and means committee
have finally reached an agreement upon the
sugar schedule They have agreed to make
raw sugar from No. 16, Dutch standard,
down dutiable at So per cent. ad valorem,
and refined sugar above 10, Dutch standard,
dutiable at 40 per cent ad valorem. This
is equivalent to a 80 per cent. reduction
of many grades Of sugar and to
more than so per cent. on others.
The reduction win average a cut of above
80 per cear., and will reduce the revenue
from 5000, 600 to $2S, 000,00 There is
no provision made for the payment of any
bounty whatever
DOUBLES THE MILLS BILL.
The cut in the sugar duty which will thus
| be made is more than two and half times
that proposed by the Mills bill, and the duty
will be collec ed upon the value and not
upon the pound as heretofore. The duty
given refiners is only 5 per cent.
more than that given raw
sugar men, and the classifying of
| raw sugar as IS or below will admit of
grades Of merchantable gar fit for domes-
| tic uses 1t is hoped aud believed that this
will take away from the refners the
power to raj the price of sugar to the
| consumer at will.
| A CONCESSION TO THE WEST.
| The republicans regard this heavy reduc-
| ton of sugar duties as most generous con-
cession to western sentiment. The rate
fixed is lower than the rate fixed
| by the Senate tariff bill, and is
moreover free from the objec ion raised
agai st the Senate bill, viz: the bounty
| clause. The Senate bill made reduction
of 90 per cent. and gave bounty of cent
| per pound. The action of the republican
members of the ways and means committee
makes cut of even more than so per cent. :,
and elimia ates the experiment of paying a
bonus to one class of producers directly
| from the treasury.
