amendment to the amendment, providing
that perishable goods may be Withdrawn

But Mr.. Baynes amendment as amended,

mitted an amendment, the effect of which
would be to give circuit court the right TO
determine questions of fact as we'll as ques-
ttons of law. After long debate this was
defeated by vote of 108 to 1l9.
Mr. Carlisle offered a substitute for the
whole section, the chief effect Of which Is 10

His Speech a Pretty One, but Devoid
OF Strong Points.
CHARLESTON, w. VA, Jan. 24.-Gen.
Nathan Goff spoke to-day before the joint
assembly of the. legislature in behalf of
himself as a contestee in the gubernatorial
contest. He spoke to large and attentive
audience, and occupied the full five hours
allotted him. The republicans are enthu-
siastic over his effort. The democrats say
he made a pretty speech, but scored but
few points. He occupied most of
his time in repudiating the charges
of fraud. He contended that he did
not appear for himself, but for the people,
who, he said, had elected him governor.
OF the 400 and some votes for him rejected
by the majority Of the committee he took
up about twenty, aud tried to show that
they should not have been rejected. He
claimed that be did not attempt to prove
that the others should not have been re-
jected either. If these twenty were illegally
rejected, Gov. Fleming, according to the
majority report, would still have over 200
majority. Gov. Golf made an eloqusn t
appeal for justics, justice to the voters of
the state, and closed with declaration of
his love for the state Of West Virginia, and
declaring his intention TO abide the result Of
the legislative court. This closed the argu-
ments for Gen. Goff.
Col. ]. w. st. Clair will tomorrow close
for Gov. Fleming.
Next week six hours will be allowed to
each side of the contest com mmittee, after
which ballot will probably be reached.

Ex-President Cleveland Sends a Let
ter to the Cutters.
CHICAGO, Jan. 24-A letter from ex-
President Grover Cleveland was read to-
day at the concluding session Of the Gus
tom Cutters National Convention. It's full
text was follows:
@. r. Hunton, ESQ, Presidssat.
DEAR SR-I thank you for sending me your
address made at the convention Of the Custom
Foreman Tailors' Association, and have read
the same with interest. The question of tariff
reform directly affects all the people of the
land IN substantial way, and they ought to be
interested in its discussion. | ann afraid
that great many Of our fellow
citizens are too apt to regard IL as political
question, intricate and complex, affecting them
in remote way, and one which may well
enough be left for politicians to wrangle over.
This induces neglect of the subject on the part
of great number of our people, and wiling
ness TO blindly follow the party to which they
1t is good sign TO see non-politica men, such as
belong to your association, discussing the ques-
tion for themselves. IL this is done intelli-
gently and with sincere intent TO secure the
truth, the tariff reformers, 1 think, have no
need to fear the result Of such discussion Very
truly, yours, GROVER CLEVELAND.
This letter was received in reply to one
sent by Mr.. Hunton, president of the cut
ters' association, asking for some statement
on the tariff question as it affected the tail
ors. A similar letter was sent TO President
Harrison, but as yet no reply has been re-
ceived. After the letter had been reAd, the
convention extended its thanks to President
ClavaIaud

tanned in Secretary Tracy's annual report,

ing the naval establishment of
the United States. The President

Republican Managers Apparently
Don't Want 1t in New York.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-New Workers
interested in getting the worlds fair for
New York are In the dumps tonight over
the defeat of the exposition bill In the New
York legislature by Tom Platt's men. They
have been counting largely upon the
passage of that bill to carry them through.
They have been delaying action here until
1t should be passed. 1t has been observed
that Mr. Belden, the republican man
ager, was letting Mr.. Flower, the
democratic manager, do most OF
the work here. Doubtless Mr.. Belden had
his tip from Boss P.att, aud knew that
nothing would come OF 1t. Ex-senator
Platt, like Senator Quay, wants no exposi-
tion in New York in a presidential year.
AS the worlds fair business stands here II

is to be any exposition at all, which Is

number of people who were IN the build

cries of pain from within the building had
quickly caused the alley to pack with

DEMOCRATS IN CAUCUS.
a Determination to Resist Reeds New
Rules to the Last.

Rules to the Last.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.--The democratic
members of the House were In caucus for
two hours tonight, with Mr. Holman in the
chair. The subject under discussion was
the new code of rules now in course of
preparation by the committee on rules
| Mr.. Carlisle, the democratic member Of that
committee, explained in detail the nature
Of the principal changes proposed TO be
made in the old code. Briefly stated, those
that were instanced by Mr.. Carlisle as
being particularly Objectionable to the
| democratic minority are rules that do away
with the old House calendar, leaving only
the calendars Of the committee OF the whole
and on the state of the union !;
| that makes 100 a quorum Of the COM
nittee Of the whole; those re-establishing
the old morning hour rule, when business
must be considered in order of committee
list, and bills must be regarded as pending
until disposed Of; and that fail TO make
privileged motions to adjourn to q fixed
day or take a recess. There was long dis
failed to result in the advancement OF any
practical scheme for the amelioration OF
the repugnant features Of the new rules.
CONTESTED ELECTION CASES.
Then the contested election cases were
talked over. and Mr.. Crisp told Of the
purpose Of the republicans 10 call up the
frat Of the West Virginia cases. IL was
generally agreed that the intention Of the
republicans is 20 uuseat as many Of the
democrats and seat as many republicans as
will give them a fair working majority
and insure a quorum in order to force
through the rules. Although no formal
resolution was adopted, it was
matter Of understa ding among
the democratic members when the
caucus adjourned that this republican plan
should be resisted to the utmost, and that the
minority should exercise all Of its constitu-
tional rights to prevent its success. In
other words, the determination is 70 fight
the rules legitimateiy when obnoxious sec
tions are reached, aud to refrain from voE-
ing and leave theIHonse wsf5efss -=<-<<<x
