 Ifree-trade Testimony.

Notwithstanding the vigilance of the reform" editor, the tinth about prices will creep int, the news columns or mar ket reports of his paper, and even into the editorial columns when his watchful care to keep up the delusion as to the real effects of the new tariff has been naonentarily relaxed. Tho Free-trade Commercial Bulletin, of New York, in an editorial on Dec. 29, commenting upon the fisttering monthly report of our exports, nays:
 "The conclusion may be fairly drawn that, excepting in breadstuffs, there was no advance of prices out of harmony with the movement of prices in other countries"
 This sentence is in direct contradic. ton to what the editorial columns of The Bulletin have been asserting ever since the passage of the Mckinley bill

REV. HUGH PRICE HUGHES.
Tho Gifted and Eloquent Weishman
who Is To Speak In Portland.

Perhaps no man has visited American
since Archdeacon Farrar's remarkable lee
ture tour a few years ago whose coming
and utterances have interested the religious
world SO much as will the Rev. Hugh Price
Hughes of London, who Is to speak at the
Epworth League convention at City Ball
this evening.
Mr. Hugh Price Hughes Is by common con-
sent the leader among the new blood of
English Nonconformity. His part in driy-
ing the brilliant Sir Charles Dixie from
public life because of gross immortality, and
his more recent hand in the overthrow of
Parnell, have made his power on the plat
form aud through the press to be respected
and feared by all classes of public men in
Great Britain. The coming of such man
to Portland is matter of public interest.
Mr.. Hughes is a tall, slender WelshmaD,
full of genial spirit, ready wit, and overflow
ing with earnestness. His power over an
audience, when discussing questions of re-
form, is something phenomenal. His man
ner of address is simple and direct, entirely
without affectatIon, but his magnetic per-
sonality flashes from his eye and intensiies
his utterance till men laugh or cry or clench
their fists with INDIGNATION In harmony with
the spirit of the speaker. The great st.
James Hall, London, seating $500 people, is
crowded to OVERLOOKING at every service.
Besides this there are. number of other
halls connected with the mission; also the
Catherine House, which is occupied by ssThe
Sisters Of the People," who visit the sick
and the very poor, gather the little children
OF the poor working women into the Day
Nursery. and provide evening entertain
ments and industrial training for neglected
young women.
Mr.. Hughes has also an organization of
men called sThe Brothers of the People"
He Is most unconventional minister, has
splendid orchestra of 60 pieces In connection
with his services i'll st. James Hall, and be.
neves that the gospel of Christ has as true
mission to the bodies as to the souls of the
people. In addition to his other labors ne is
editor of the Methodist Times. journal of
wide circulation in Great Britain aud Aus

In the pulpit. No other minister in London
has the confidence of all classes, Catholic
and Protestant, more completely than Hugh
Price Hughes. DR.. Joseph Parker saws of
him that he Is the only man he ever knew
who positively lays in wait for the devil at
the corner of the street. The announcement
that he is to speak anywhere in England or
Scotland will overflow any hall. however
large.
Besides Mr.. Hughes, another distinguished
Methodist will address this evenings meet
ing This is DIR. Robert r. Doherty, who is
at the present time the most important off
Ger in the Epworth League in America. DIR.
Doherty Is very interesting speaker, max
ing favorable impression wherever he
goes. He will address the convention on

THE ATKINSON COMPANY.
An Open Letter that Every One
Should Read.

The Atkinson House Furnishing Company
publish an open letter to the citizens of Port
land this morning, and In it they tell house.
keepers some cold truths. Take, for Instance,
their statement about their great purchase Of
$4,000 worth of carpets in Pennsylvania,
which they propose selling at from IS to 80
cents cheaper than the same carpets can be
bought elsewhere. It's common sense that
when firm can make such an immense pur
chase and pay cash for it,they can buy much
cheaper and sell far cheaper than 9TH
ers In the same line. Men of
of wealth, who made their own money and
know its value. know this. and that is why
some of the wealthiest and best known citi-
zens of Portland go right to Atkinson's
when they want carpet. 1t is true they
sell on the installment plan, but just as true
that they sell. as any firm does, to the buyer
who pays for his purchase all at once
Just look at the offer they make. They
will donate $500 to any charitable institution
If they are not larger buyers of carpets,
of every kind, than any other house in their
business in the United States. Now, our
people had better look over that letter today,
read 1t carefully. see what bargains they can
get. and we leave it to their own cool judy
ment If they had not better go and see the
stock before buying elsewhere.

the FRENCH CLAIMS.
Testimony Taken In the Cases Of
Old Portland Citizens.

The Court Of Claims at WASHINGTON has
required testimony to be taken In tba French
spoiiatlon claims of the heirs Of Rufus and
john Horton, Robert Boyd, Robert Hasty,
Joseph Mcclellan and son, and David Smith,
ana the testimony has been taken thi, week
before United States Commissioner ID. w.
Scribper. Hon. Seth M. Cart Of Lewiston,
appeared as attorney for the government,
ana u. K. Harmon for the heirs. 1t is nearly
one hundred years since the above named
parties had their vessels and cargoes cap
tured by French priyateers and condemned
by the French government, aud now the
heirs are required to prove that their ances-
tors who met with losses were citizens of the
United States. and that the claimants are the
bona fide heirs of the parties who suffered
losses as they have alleged and claimed.
In the Boyd case, Major Chas. FL. Boyd,
one of the witnesses and grandson of
Robert Boyd, exhibited genealogy of the
Boyd family and of Capt David Smith. his
great grandfather. Hon. VIM. w. Thomas,
also witness, knew Robert Boyd and bis
heirs Willis's history of Portland helped
In establishing what was required. In the
Mcclellan case, Rev. Elijah kellogg, a grand
son OF Joseph, was the only witness and the
only living link by whom any proof could be
made. except what was obtained in Willis's
history.
In the Rufus Horton claim proof was re-
quired that Rufus and John were brothers
and partners in business In 1879, at the time
of their loss. Fred A. Motley, grandson,
knew this by their old account books which
have been preserved in the family. and by
tradition. Mrs. Rachel Horton Motley, now
eighty seyen years of age, is the only living
child of Rufus Horton, and at previous
hearing her testimony as to what she had
heard her father and mother say about the
capture Of the schooner Hunter by the
French, was objected to. as "hearsay
evidence"
In the Robert Hasty case. Mr. Edward
Hasty, the only witness aud grandson and
administrator of the estate, exhibited the old
family Bible, showing the dates of births and
deaths of Robert Hasty and all his children
and he put in the original will of his grand
father, In which he made distribution of the
money, when paid, for the loss of the brig
Freemason and cargo.
Ii at this late day the Court of Claims is
to reject all hearsay evidence there must be
hundreds of claims that never will be paid.
