BUSINESS ISSUES.
Senator Sherman DiscOurses on the
Politics of the Dav.

Senator Sherman DiscOurses on the
Politics of the Dav.
CINCINNATI, July 2l.-This afternoon
at the close of change hours, Senator
Sherman was escorted into the chamber
of commerce. He was greeted with loud
applause, and speech was called for
The senator in part said that all the
issues OF the day are business issues.
II am not going to talk politics, but
there are issues that appeal to the busi-
ness man, whether he be Democrat or
Republican. The mode of levying taxes
will always cause difference of opinion,
and parties will always divide upon the
question of how shall money be raised
to support the government, and so the
mode of levying taxes interests you
all. Now the question is, is the way we
have done it, a wise one? Take the
question of the development and pro,
lection OF the sugar industry. We are
experimenting with the production of
sugar by means of the beet, as well as
with cane. There is the question of tin.
We hear a good deal about tin horns and
the like. We consume about 100000
tons of tin. Now the tin of commerce
is about 95 per cent. iron, and the ques-
tion is to produce our own tin, and we
are experimenting to that end. There
is the question OF reciprocity with other
nations; and also the question of silver
issue, which touches the pocket of all
business men,"

A LAME APOLOGY.
The Revenue Bureaus Excuse For thu
Unjust Sweet Wine Law.

The Revenue Bureaus Excuse For the
Unjust Sweet Wine Law.
WASHINGTON, July 2l.-The attention
OF the internal revenue officials being
called to complaints made because Of the
new sweet wine regulation which pro-
vides that brandy on which tax has not
been paid can be used to fortify sweet
wines, unless the process OF fortifcation
is done in a winery located in vine
yard, Deputy Commissioner Wilson said
the provision complained of has been a
subject of much attention before it was
promulgated. There were number of
winemakers OF Vesey street, New York,
who wanted the privilege of using
brandy untaxed for the purpose of forti-
flying sweet wines, claiming that they
used dried grapes in their process.
Besides there are many kinds of juices
imported at low rate OF duty which al Q
strained and doctored, and afterward
sold at good prices. Glucose and
other articles can be used to adulterate
wines, and privilege intended for Cali
fornia wine-makers, would in time be
distorted into gross abuse. If the
privilege were granted to California
wine-makers, not possessed OF vineyards,
it could not be denied to those of New
York, where there are hundreds who do
business on small scale, who would
take advantage of any license which the
new negotiations might afford them.
For the reason, therefore, that Califor-
MIA wine-makers, by whom the provis-
ion in the law was mainly advocated,
would suffer most by any extension of
the enjoyment of the privilege granted,
the license was raatrictpd

BALFOUR is HUMAN.
The Irish Are Now Willing
to Admit as Much.
Some Good Accomplished by
the Tyrant's Rule.
Irish Members Fall in Line With
His Schemes.
A Remarkable Change Brought About
in the Last Two Years-Useful
Lessons Learned by
Both Sides.
Associated Press Dispatches.

LONDON, July 2l.-During the debate
on the Irish estimates in the house OF
commons, Balfour, chief secretary for
Ireland, intimated that local govern
ment bill for Ireland, based on the same
lines as the English and Scotch acts,
would be introduced at the next session.
He asked whether the bill would have
support. For the Irish member, T. M.
Healy said it would have their support.
The intimation made by Balfour in
the commons yesterday, to the effect
that local government bill for Ireland,
based on the same lines as the English
and Scotch acts, will be introduced by
the government at the next session of
parliament, is founded on fact, and such
measure will certainly become part of
the government programme for next
session. The discussion OF the estimates
in parliament, has been made the occa-
sion for long reviews in the press in
which the improved condition
of Ireland, the facts that agrar-
ian crime is diminished, trade
increased, evictions lessened in number,
boycotting almost ceased, the plan of
campaign almost extinct and emigra-
tion decreased, are considerably touched
upon. During the past week five of the
principal banking corporations of Ire.
land have held annual meetings and de-
clared dividend of 10 per cent.
The Standard, referring to this i'm
provement in the condition of Ireland,
asserts that the .discOntinuance of the
subsidies received from the United
Sta State: is largely responsible :. for y,
the Standard adds, "bribed
by American dollars, will persist in their
dishonest and unlawful conspiracy, but
left to face, unaided, the consequence OF
their criminal mistake, first 10 one
place then in another, they have found
it necessary to surrender, while the
humiliating collapse of the plan of cam
paign has given warning as to the worth
of the solemn pledges Of the agitators.
Gladstone has already stated that it is
undeniable that the Conservatives in
some respects have great ad-
vantage in undertaking home rule
legislation, for when the Tories
propose radical legislation, the lords
growl, but they bear it. In the mean
while most remarkable feature is the
curious reapproachment between Bal
four and the Irish members. The Irish
see that their arch-opponentis is, after all.
human, and that he has qualities of
sincerity aud courage not inferior to
their own. The change has been on
both sides, and Balfour has perhaps
learned the most"

ALASKA EXPLORERS.
A Successful Packhorse Expedition Into
the Interior.

the Interior.
SEATTLE, WASH, July 21.--Last April
Lieutenant E. j. Glove and Jack Wal
ton started from here to explore the in
terror of Alaska. They first went to
Alaska two years ago, and explored the
country between the Yukon and south
coast. going north and south. This year
they were to go east and west, reaching
an entirely unknown region. On the
first trip they discovered rich mineral
deposits, and the great object of this
years expedition was to find trail by
which packhorses might be taken
into the interior and the
mines developed. A letter from
Lieutenant Glove was received here yes
terday, written June 9th in Central
Alaska. The letter says: "We have
been entirely successful with the venture
of taking pack horses into the heart of
Alaska. From my present position an
immense valley, thickly clothed with
luxuriant grasses, stretches far away for
miles in all directions. We have had
all kinds of experiences in reaching the
present point, but we are here safe and
sound, with all our horses in good con-
dition. When the different barriers
are crossed, splendid country is
reached. Deep, swift streams, and lakes
we'll stocked with fish, and fine pasture
and fruits in abundance. The winter is
severe, but not 30 dreadful as generally
supposed"

KINGsBURY's CASE.
How the Lieutenant Rewarded His
Faithful Sergeant.

How the Lieutenant Rewarded His
Faithful Sergeant.
Tucson, Ariz., July 2l.-At the court
martial OF Lieutenant Kingsbury today,
the first witness was Major Rafferty,, of
the Second cavalry. His testimony
showed that every penny's worth Of
goods was receipted for by Lieutenant
Kingsbury, the receipts being shown.
The defense showed that the goods in
question had been considered unworthy
OF account. Much of them be-
longed to officers. Those Lieuten-
ant Kingsbury sold at two sales as
charged in the specifications, paying
, the costs for repairs to government
wagons, and handing over the balance
to Sergeant Gleason as compensation for
much extra labor that he performed in
the dismantlement of the post, and
packing and arranging stores. Several
nights Sergeant Gleason worked all
night, and the extra services performed
were considered by Kingsbury as merit.
ing extra remuneration, and the pro-
ceeds OF the sale were therefore handed
to the faithful sergeant. The case has
gone to the court-martial Tor decision.
The lieutenant will probably be cleared.

OTTAWA, Ont, July 2l.-According to
a return received at the fisheries depart
ment, the number of sealskins secured
by the British Columbia fleet in the
waters of Bering sea, up to June 31st,

landed at Victoria, the owners this yeai
having taken the precaution to send up
vessel early in the month for the pur-
pose of collecting the catch from the diff.
ferent schooners.

THE ALTON BOYCOTT.

Indications Pointing That the Fight is
to Become More Bitter.
CHICAGO, July 2l.-The opinion is be.
coming general that there are to be i'm
portant developments in the fight
against the Chicago and Alton road.
Although Chairman Finley denies that
his course has been prompted by any
other influence than his own Judgment,
it is argued by the knowing ones that
his action has been directly in line with
plan to force the Alton into the West
ern Traffic association. It's understood
that the present idea is to extend the
boycott to include freight as we'll as
passenger traffic, the purpose seeming
to be to close all outlets of the Alton
east and west and bottle it up 60 that
it will be unable to do anything but
local business. The weak point in the
plan is that it would not deprive the
Alton of power to do mischief, for by
wholesale slashing of rates it would
prevent the other roads from deriving
any benefit from the heavy increase in
tonnage expected to mark the remain
ing months of the year.

LONDON, July 2l.-The new American
steel steamer Charles w. Wetmore,
which sailed from Duluth, Mimi, the
latter part of June, arrived at Liverpool
today. The Wetmore is an inland built
steamer and her cargo, consisting of Co.,
600 bushels of grain, is the first cargo
shipped from lake port, direct to Liv-
erpool, without being rehandled. The
route was down the lakes from Duluth,
through the Welland canal, down the
st. Lawrence river and across the At

evidence that the proposition to estab-
lish direct communication between Eu-
ropean and other ports and Chicago, is
entirely feasible.
