THE lecture of Rev. Will E. Grose, OF
MorristOwn, Tenn, given under the di-
rection of the Good Templars, at the
Methodist church, Friday evening was
not as well attended as its interest war
ranted, although fair number of young
folks were present. Mr.. Grose said that
in an extensive experience of travel, he
had never visited more beautiful town
than this, or one that gave more evidenc-
es of culture and education. He made
an eloquent plea for temperance, telling
the old, old story in new form. He
urged the claims of the Good Templar
order, answering the common objections
to it, and pointing out its advantages as
a means of temperance work. 1t is to be
hoped that this organization may obtain
stronger hold in the community, and
be enabled to present more lecturers like
Rev. Grose to our people. However, an
effort is being made to have him lecture
here again next week.

A Uniform Car Counier.

WASHINGTON CITY, Dec. Ex-senator Cullom
today introduced bill for the adoption and
use of a uniform standard Car coupler, aud
regulating the operation and control of freight
trains used in interstate commerce, and for the
greater safety OF railroad employees. 1t provides
that all common carriers, whose duties include
the coupling OF cars, and wofkmen who are
members OF an established organization OF rail-
way employees, may, within six months after the
passage OF this act, vote upon the choice of an
automatic Car coupler Such coupler may be of
a vertical type and must be SO devised as
to couple by impact and dispense
with any person going between the cars
to couple or uncouple. Every common carrier
is to be entitled to one vote for every freight car
owned, leased or controlled, and the employees
entitled in the aggregate to one-third as many
votes as may be cast by all the common carriers.
The interstate commission Is to have the power
to decide the validity of the votes cast. If not
less than 5000 votes are cast, and the entire
vote for any particular coupler is not less than
$4,000, the commission shall certify these facts
10 the president, who shall issue q proclama-
ton declaring the coupler chosen TO DO
the standard safety car coupler for
use In interstate commerce. In case no choice
is made the president shall appoint commits
sion OF five competent persons TO determine the
coupler best TO be used. All carriers must
equip at least 10 per cent. each year of the num-
Der OF freight cars used, and also equip every
engine with drivlngwheel brake. The com
missioners snail invite bids from inventors of
couplers, stating what they viii accept from
the United states for their patents, and upon
purchase OF the patent by the government the
coupler may be used or manufactured by any
body free. The salary OF the commissioners is
fixed at IS, 600 year,

at China, has informed the secretary of state
that while the Chinese government viii make
no provisions for official representation at the
Worlds Columbian exposition, il has, in order
TO facilitate exhibits by Chinese merchants and
others, removed the export duty on all articles
exported for exhibition 1t Chicago. Hitchcock,
representing the exposition: has been working
hard 10 persuade the empire to take part in the
fair. At the final conference recently held be-
tween the commissioners and the Chinese
authorities, the emperor made known his posi-
ton. The emperor's grounds for declining TO
send exhibits is that the United states
is discriminating against the citizens
of that empire, and that Chinese
could not come TO the exposition without being
put in the humiliating attitude of needing
special passport 10 be granted by special act of
congress- No objection is raised to Chinese
merchants already in the United States partici-
pating in the exposition, but China, as a coun-
try, refuses TO take any part whatever in the
fair.

FELTON's ANTI-sUBsIDY BILL.
Its Passage Would Result In . Lively
Kate Cutting War.

sAN FRANCISCO, Dec 15.-Concerning the dis
patch from Washington City that Senator FELTON,
was about to introduce bill in congress declar-
ing that all steamship companies that receive
subsidy from any railroad company shall not be
allowed any additional subsidy from the govern
ment, several railroad and steamship officials
expressed the opinion that this bill is intended
to apply TO the Pacific Mail Steamship Company,
which, with the exception of the Occidental
and Oriental Company, plying between this
port and China, is the only line that receives
any railroad subsidy. Some years ago the
Pacific Mail Company reduced rates on trans
portatiou and freight between San Francisco
and New York over one-half, thus en-
gendering a lively competition with the
Southern Pacific Company. This con-
dition of affairs, however. did not
last long, rs compromise was effected, ii is
stated, whereby the railroad people agreed TO
pay the steamship company $4,000 per month
subsidy, in consideration OF the latter company
restoring the old rates and allowing the railroad
company 500 tons OF freight each way between
here and New York This contract, ii is said,
force, but if Senator FELTON, bill should become
a law the agreement will be nulliiei and
lively rate-cuttng war is likely to ensue. Tho
Occidental and Oriental Company, which Is sub
sidiZed by the railroad company at the rate of
$1,000 for eacn trip from here 70 China, is owned
by the Southern Pacific Company, SO that the
subsidy for that line is only paid from one fund
OF the company into another.
Why the bill is 10 be introduced is matter of
considerable speculation and discussion among
transcontinental traffic managers, as they say
the existing condition of affairs 10 satisfactory
to all parties

SALVAGE ON THE FANNY DUTARD.
The Zambesi Gets One-Tenth OK the
Value Of Vessel and Cargo.

Value OF Vessel and Cargo.
VICTORIA, B. C., Dec. I5.-lSpecial. The Fam
besi-Dutard case came up az clock thls aitel
noon in the supreme court, when was croSueu
with spectators. The decision was looked lot
ward 20 with unusual interest as number OF
peculiar points OF law were involved anu there
had been nothing during the progress OF the case
TO show which side was likely 70 win IL
His lordship, addressing the counsets, sala
that the court had come to a unanimous con-
cusion in the case He would say hrst mat
there was not shadow of doubt that the who!e
trouble was caused by the neglect o; the
schooner to carry lights and by her not having
on board mechanical fog-horn. Had she been
accoutred in these respects the lanentaOIe cor
lision would never have happened bht the
Zambesi, though not the main cause OF tle
trouble, was at fault in proceeding too qu'cAiy
at the time of the accident. OF course, steamer
had to be run at speed sufficient to give her
steerage way, but in this case il had been DIS
tinctly proven that up to three-quarters OF an
hour before the collision she had been running
dead slow under perfect control. so at
the time of the occurrence she hsd
no need to be running go last WIN
this exception the court unhesitatingly found
that there was no possible blame TO be attached
TO the officers OF the Zambesi for their seaman
ship. After the Fannie Dutard was sighted no
power on earth could have prevented eoiilslon.
The court found tina: the amount of damages
sustained By the Fannie Dutard should De pald
in equal proportion by both parties.
Then, concerning the question OF the salvage
claim put in b. the Zambesi, ths court decided
ii was legal, nasmuch as il was impossible for
the Fannie Dutard to proceed TO any port in
safety without danger OF laundering The
court intended to order that the value
Of one-tenth OF the schooner and
cargo should be paid to the Zambesi as salvage.
and furthermore it had been decided that OF

that matter on future occasion, but If the bar
ris,er came 20 the opinion that the matter lay
within the discretion of the court he would
most certainly make al order for the Datard to
