cans get u quorum.
The republican majority
of the conference committee
have about patched up an
agreement on the tariff bill,
and it might have been re-
ported today but it is pre-
sumable that the republicans
will hold it until they can
get a quorum Of republicans
on the floor of the House;
that may be tomorrow or it
may not be at all during
this session. A prominent
republican member of the
conference committee, who
was known to be opposed to
Blaine's Latin-American re-
ciprocity idea, was asked
why he voted for the recipro-
city amendment. "Oh," he
replied, laughingly, "recipro-
city is a popular fad just
now, and it is well enough to
have the name tackled onto
the tariff bill to help carry
the unpopular features Of the
bill" That expresses in a
nut shell the much talked OF
amendment-it is only bun
comb.
Mr.. Harrison lacked the
conrage to carry out his
threat of vetoing the River
and Harbor bill. 1t is said
that a certain Senator high
up in the councils of the re
publican party informed hin
that if he vetoed that bill 6
majority of the republican
Senators had pledged them
selves to make war on hin
personally during the remain
der Of his administration.

THE ISSUE AND RESULTS.

This is the year OF all years
when Constitutional liberty |
is on trial. lit is a time OF
political re-adjustments and
henceforth the issue is be-
tween the politics OF prjnci-
pie and the poftics,of specu-
lative trade alliance, the doe
trine of liberty and the doe
trine of force; the methods OF
democratic self-government
and the methods Of imperial
decree"
The country is fast coming
to the point of recognizing
this fact. The recent depar-
ture of ex-Gov. Cameron, OF
Va, from therepublican par
| ty, and his entrance into the
democratic fold, adds a pow
elful emphasis to the fact.
Gov. Cameron is a man OF
character, respected by all
persons and all political par
ties. He has followed the re-
publican party from princi-
pie, and through all these
years he has stood for the
principles which that party
professed to represent. In
this year of npheaval-the
most remarkable in political
events that has marked the
last decade--we find him in q

New YORK, January 15th.-The steam
ship Rugia arrived from Hamburg last
night, seven days overdue. The Chief
Officer of the Solerboff said to-day: I'VE
did not have twelve hours of pleasant
weather on the entire voyage. have been
an officer on transatlantic vessels for eight
years, and this was the most severe voyage
| ever had. AS soon as we got out of Havre
the storm commenced, and the wind howled
like demon. On the 10th and 11th. the
mercury registered 10 below zero. 4 gale
from the west held Us almost stationary in
heavy sea, and ice formed on the rigging
faster than we could chop it off.
For two days the entire crew was kept
busy cbopping away the ice, which fell on
the decks by the ton. a half.inch rope
would be six inches in diameter and posi-
lively useless.
"The waves were higher than Ihave ever
seen, and on the 10th the cannon we used
to fire salutes with was washed overheard.
Several of the sailors were thrown.
about so violently that they were disabled,
and consequently we became short-handed.
'The coal then ran short, and we had to
put into Halifax. This consumed two
days, and two days more were taken up by
a complete standstill in the ocean, when it
became simply out of the question TO pro-

ship. 1t could not have been less than one
hundred tons, and as the sailors chopped it

TRUcKEE, January 15th.-It has showed
about six inches for the past twenty-four
hours. The total rain and snowfall for the
season is 20.5 inches.
Train No. 20, west bound, met with an
accident at Emigrant Gap. The snow
sheds caved in upon the train which con-
tanned CATTLE and resulted in the loss of
about forty head. One steer who managed
to escape the wreck took possession of the
track, with the intention, no doubt, of foot
ing the balance of the journey. On his route
he met track walker, who, with his Ian
tern. gave stop signal, but the steer, instead
of stopping proceeded to enforce his right
of way by lowering his horns and making
a rush. The only injury the track-walker
sustained was the loss of portion of bis
overalls. The steer held possession of the
track until No. came along, on which
man was placed on the pilot with a rifle,
who, after emptying twenty shots in the
beast brought him to terms of capitulation.
At about P. NJ. passenger train No. 2
struck q snow bank atStrong's canyon. En-
CINE No. al was sent to help No. 2 out and
succeeded in ditchipg itself not far distant.

cree is erroneous. What would be the effect of
that decree? In the State Court the marriage
would be declared to not to have existed, and in
the United States Courts the case would remain
open for new trial. where the decision might
be directly contrary and there would be two
Courts with two different decisions. The parties
who should present that contract in this Court,
present 1t as evidence and subject to the ami
madveTsion Of the Circuit Court and violate that
injunction. There would then be q direct con-
flict OF authority between this Court and the
United States Supreme Court.
Upon this question of jurisdiction am asked
States has no jurisdiction upon the question,
which they undertook to decide. That must'
decline to pass upon.
| see no way out of this difficulty but to hold
that where there is no appeal from the deci-
sions OF Court upon all questions (of jurisdic-
tion included) their decisions must be held
final. l must at least hold that will adhere to
the opinion of the Federal Courts upon all
questions, including that of their Jurisdiction.
l see no way but to hold that their decision
upon the Jurisdiction distinguishing them from
all other Courts, should be final. II this is not
done, inserminable confusion will ensue.
Judge Shafter followed the suggestion of
Justice Field and Justice Paterson, who
suggested that the case be postponed until
The case Of Sharon VS.. Hill shall be decided
by the United States Supreme Court.
This decision disposes of one point IN the
case, but I'll the other questions involved,
except the one decided, are still open cues
tions. The action can be tried again, but
it is not probable, under the circumstances,
that a retrial will be had.

New YORK, January 15th-In addition
TO the news of the insurrection at Rio de
Janeiro on the 18th, brought by the steamer
Herschel, are details of the court martial
aud shooting of the ringleaders of the dis
turbance. After making an example of
the ringleaders by summary trial, con-
demnation and execution, the court-martial
continued the investigation in secret, and
on the 21s. number of arrests of promi-
nent men were made.
Among those arrested were the Colonel
of the Second Regiment of Artillery; Col
onel Guinaraes, Adjutant of Ordnance on
the Staff of the Adjutant- General of the
army; Carlos Alfonso, brother of Alfonso
Celso, Sr; Viscount Ouro Preto, late Prime
Minister Ignacio Martino and Lima Du-
rate, two of the old Senators from Minas
Geraes. Carlos Alfonso was President of
the province of Rio Janeiro under his
brother, Viscount Ouro Preto. Senator
Gaspar de Silviera Martino, who has been
held here as hostage, but allowed the
freedom of the city, was also placed IN
der arrest. Magothoes Castro, it is said,
has been arrested.
In all, it is stated, that twenty-one SOL
diers and non commissioned officers were
shot and others may be condemned. One
hundred soldiers are said to have been

A Decision That Has, it Is Believed,
Fully Disposed of 1t.
SAN Francisco, January 15th.-Judge
Shafter overruled the demurrer to the sup
Elemental answer in the Sharon divorce
case this morning, and continued the hear
ing of the case indefinitely. This prac-
tically disposes of this noted case. 1t can
be tried again, but under the circumstances
this is not likely to be done.
With relation TO the alleged marriage
contract, and the decree of the United
States Circuit Court concerning it, Judge
Shafter says:
The decree annulling the paper is still in
force, and the question remaining is: What
effect is to be attributed to il Ny own conclu-
sion is that it absolutely annuls the instrument
called the marriage contract. That is it is ad
hitting that the Court had jurisdiction when
offered in evidence anywhere it should be re-
iected on that ground. Il would be futile to
undertake to show that the decree only operates
in the United States Court, and that 1t has no
effect outside of its jurisdiction.
Supposing we go on with the trial, should
be obliged, under these rulings, If that contract
was presented in evidence, 10 decide that its
effect is entirely done away with, and proceed
upon this theory to decide this case. 1t goes to
our Supreme Court and is there confirmed, there
being no error in the matter, and finally the
United States Supreme Court reverses the iudg-
ment of the United States Circuit Court, holding
that this paper is not forgery, or that the de

A Company that Deals in California.
Fruit Fails in Chicago.
CHICAGO, January 15th.-The rules issued
by the General Court require the officers
of the Meade-Van Bokkelen Company to
submit to an examination before the Master
in Chancery.
The order grows out of discoveries made
by Receiver Parker, who alleges that B. o.
Van Bokkeen, the senior member of the
firm, lost 100000 of the FIRMS money on
Board of Trade.
The Meade-Van Bokkelen Company
dealt largely in California fruits and wines,
and failed month ago. The liabilities of
the company are 100000, of which claims
to the amount of $1S5.000 are unsecured.
The assets are only $4,000. In course of
the examination of The books it was shown
that payments between $50, 600 and $4,000,
credited to merchandise and bills payable,
were really payments by B. o. Van Bokke-
len to L. o. Lee to be used in speculation
on the Board of Trade.
The receiver reports that he knows
$4,000 went into the Board, and he be-
lieves, on further investigation, that it will
be proven that upwards of 100000 were
lost there

I MONTREAL, January 15th.-Societv in
this city and al Ottawa has been turned
inside out by sensational speech delivered
before the White Cross ociety, by Rev
DR.. Doaglass, President Of the WESLEYAN
Methodist College
1t was the mosb sweeping dennnciation
aad arraiEnment Of social leaders and pub
lie officials ever heard in Canada.
There wsre many latsies in the audience,
After comparing Montreal with London as
described by the PsU EiaH Gazette. he de-
nouuced the modern drama referring par
ucularly to Camille a represen lation of
whose character he scored numerically,
asking why the life AID death of an utterly
abandoned woman should be portrayed
before decent people.
Speaking of the horrible death scene, he
said: Your dowager DGchesses draw forth
their perfumed handkerchiefs and wipe.
their weeping eyes over this burlesque of
grim death, but these same Duchesses have
no compassion, no tears, for the scores Of
Camilles that languish in the city hospitals.
Ii is time some one should lift up their
voice in our midst.
Il impeach the booksellers and news
venders as at war with virtue. Look at the
Sons ana daughters OF mGSU OF our CAriS-
tians. What company do they keep? In
the retirement of their own room, in the
silence of midnight hours, they companion
ate with vagabonds and profigates and out
cast creations. These of Braddon's Ouida's,
and Swinburn's, are all the product of the
foulest minds of our age.
Il impeach the moral sense of our city
for its criminal indifference to the charac-
ter of its public men. Thscity has elected
men from whose homes virtue has fed.
Men who have sought to introduce the
ottoman seragllo into cur country. Men
whose lives are at perpetual defiance with
the seventh canon Of the decalogue"
DR.. Douglas went on to say that many of
the members. of Parliament are men at the
very mention of whose names virtue
bushes and modesty hides her head, and
their record is pestilential.
He wound up with a most scathing de-
nuDciation of society men who prey upon
virtue.
