A Message by the President Concerning
the Slave Trade, Etc.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The senate iii
executive session today, authorized the
publication of message sent to the sem
ate by the president last week, relative to
the African slave trade and liquor
traffic. The presidents message is
dated January Goth, and is letter
transmitted with view to the ratifica-
tion of the general act signed at Brus-
sells, July Goth last, by the representa-
tives of the United States and other
powers. The act is signed by the repre-
sentatives of eighteen nations, includ-
ing the president of the United States,
nearly all the European sovereigns
and the shah of Persia, the sui
tan of Turkey and sultan of Zanzibar.
Its provisions are very stringent and
contemplate the practical exclusion of
firearms and spirituous liquors from
equatorial Africa, as well as the aboli-
tion of the slave trade. AS a means OF
effeeting the latter purpose, an interna-
tional bureau is to be established in
Zanzibar, as well as strongly occupied
posts in Central Africa, the construction
of roads and railroads and the establish
ment of steamboats, in the inland waters
supported by fortified posts.

AS&OCldteQ
WASHINGTON, Feb. Ain reference to
the presentation Of petitions as to the
Conger lard bill, in the senate, today,
q colloquy took place, going to show
that all these petitions emanate from
the same source, and 60 back to that
source before they are forwarded to the
senators; that they are distributed
from central agency and seem to be
the result, not of a spontaneous move
ment, bnt of solicitation. Apropos OF
the manner in which such memorials
are gotten up, Cockrell read resolutions
of the Philadelphia maritime exchange,
protesting against the passage by the
house of the senate bill OF May, 1890,
for the monthly purchase OF 4,5OO, 900
ounces of silver. No such bill, he said,
passed the senate in May. 1890, and yet
these wiseacres were meeting and pro-
testing against it. He went on to
severely criticise the views of Edward
Atkinson on silver and other economic
questions.
Dawes remarked that Atkinson's pol
itical and economical affiliations were
with senators who were traducing him.
The fortifcation bill was again taken
up. The committee amendment ap-
propriating 100000 for rifed sea coast
mortars of cast-iron, hooped with steel,
was taken up. Chandler's amendment
requiring them to be wholly of steel, was
agreed to, and then at the suggestion
of Dawes, the committee amendment,
AZ amended was rejected
The committee amendment to reduce
the item for completion of the army gun
factory at Watervliet, N. Y, from $248,-
600 to $148,00O, was agreed to, as was
also the committee amendment to re-
duce the appropriation for machinery at
Watervliet arsenal, from $46S, 900 to
$268, 900.
The committee amendment increasing
the appropriation for the board of ord
nance. etc., to make purchases, expert
ments and tests of the most effective
guns, small arms, ETC., from 100000 to
$500, 900, was agreed to.
An amendment by Cockrell, re-
amended by Chandler, was agreed to,
providing for the addition of the two
civilian members to the board of ord
nance and Notifications (not to be ex-
officers OF the army or navy to hold
Office four years and receive salary of
$1,000 and actual travelling expenses.
The committee amendment to insert
paragraph increasing to $4,250, 900 ap-
preparation in fortifcation act for the
procurement of heavy ordnance was
agreed to.
Dolph's amendment, appropria Ting
81 900. 900 for plant for heavy ordnance
at some point on the Pacific coast, was
disagreed to.
The bill was then passed.
The military academy appropriation
bill was next taken up and passed, with
one amendment.
The pension appropriation bill was
taken up and went over.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
Proposed Amendments to the Present
Interstate Law.


Proposed Amendments to the Present
Interstate Law.
WASHINGTON, Feb. A bill favorably
reported today by Senator Cullom, to
amend the interstate commerce act, pro-
vides that competing common carriers
may, with the approval of the inter
state commerce. commission, enter into
contracts or agreements with respect to
traffic, when in the opinion OF the COM
mission general public interest and gen.
eral welfare be thereby subserved.
These contracts and agreements, when
subscribed by such carriers, and when
filed with and approved by the commits
sion, shall be binding between the par
ties thereto; subject. however, to the
authority conferred upon the commission
to annul any such contract or agree
ment when the commission is OF the
opinion that the public interest requires
it. This will not permit the diversion
OF traffic routed or consigned by ship
per over any specified route.
The scope of section 5, against "undue
or unreasonable preference" is ex-
tended considerably.
An amendment made to section 10 de-
clares unlawful, willful false billing,
false representation of the contents of a
package or other means for obtaining
transportation at less than regular rates.
Other amendments provide that the
commission may require reports from
common carriers at any time, and moth
ing in the act shall be so construed as to
prevent the free carriage to their homes
or places oftreatment, of persons injured
in railroad accidents, or OF their bodies
for burial in case of death, or of physi-
clans or nurses for attendance upon
them, or transportation free or at re.
duced rates to actual members of the
families of EMPLOYEES.

Robert Lincoln Thought to Be the Presi-
dents Choice.
NEW York, Feb. 4.-The Herald's
Washington special says: 1t is given out
that the presidents purpose in:asking
an extension of the time in which Sec
retary WINDOWS successor must be ap-
pointed had special reference to Robert
Lincoln, minister at the court of st.
James. Lincoln is not at all satisfied
with his present post. His appointment
furnished the strongest evidence of Pres
ident Harrison's regard for him,
for it was made without solicita-
ton on his part. In fact, the Illi-
nois senator's did not themselves know
the appointment was going to be made
until the president so informed them.
Since the death Of his son, Lincoln has
been more restless than ever, ,and the hest
information is that if the treasury port
folio will be rendered to him, he will ac-
cept it. His appointment, from po-
litical point of view, would be regarded
as an especially happy one. No public
man in America is so universally popu-
lar with the colored race as this son of
the great war president.

THE WAGES OF SIN.
The Pathetic Downfall of a Prominent
Young Man.

Three years ago Mr.. Edward Hoyt and
Miss Maggie Anderson were united in
matrimony and at once settled down in
the cosy home which Mr.. Hoyt had pre-
pared for his winsome bride. All went
merry as a marriage bell until few days
ago, when the tempter entered the happy
home and the old, old story was told
again, the sequel of which is the break
ing up Of happy household.
Broken-hearted at the alienation of
his wife's affections, Mr.. Hoyt filed a
complaint against the destroyer of his
peace, and Sergeant Murphy, learning
that the villain was at Mr.. Hoyt's home.
proceeded to the house to perform his
duty as an officer.
On arriving at the house Officer Muir
ply demanded of Mrs. Hoyt that she
produce the cause of the sad affair. Mrs.
Hoyt was completely overcome with the
consequences of her own folly and tear
fully conducted the officer to the kitchen
and pointing to large cupboard sank
into chair sobbing bitterly.
Officer Murphy, with his hand on his
revolver to be prepared for any surprise,
opened the door and found-the cup
board full Of packages of Quaker Rolled
Oats. The foolish woman had been so
infatuated that she had transferred all
her affections to the toothsome cereal,
leaving her husbands heart to break,
which 1t did with loud snap.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
The Consular Bill Passed-Canadian An

The Consular Bill Passed-Canadian An
nexation Inevitable.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Ain the house
today. Mckinley asked unanimous con-
sent that during the remainder OF the
session the house meet at III a. M, but
Rogers, of Arkansas, objected. The
house then went into committee OF the
whole on the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill. During the debate
on the bill, McAdoo, of New Jersey, gave
his hearty assent to the position taken
by his state relative to reciprocity
with Canada. He said the United States
should have unrestricted trade and COM
mercial union with Canada, or it should
have no commercial relations with her
at all. The only solution OF the prob
lem "a solution unsought by the United
States), was that the people of Canada
should, in their sovereignty, ask for an
nexation, which was the ultimate des-
tiny of Canada.
The bill after further discussion was
laid aside with favorable recommended
ton. and the committee proceeded to
consideration of the sundry civil appro-
priation bill.
Gambler, OF Massachusetts, spoke in
favor of an amendment instructing the
secretary of the treasury not to approve
the payment OF any expense attendant
upon the meeting of the Worlds Colum-
bian commission or board of lady mall
ayers, except such meetings as may be
called at the time of the dedication and
opening of the worlds fair.
Pending further discussion, the COM
mittee rose and the diplomatic appro-
priatiOn bill was passed.
The conference report was adopted on
the bill providing for an additional jus.
tice of the supreme court of Arizona.
Adjourned.

EXPENSIVE WARFARE.
The Cost of the Late Indian Campaign
Estimated at a.. 900, 900.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The estimate
sent to congress by the secretary of war,
to supply the deficiency in the quarter
masters department, shows that the
cost of the Indian campaign Just closed,
was 81. 100000. The principal items Of
this are: 1886, 900 for the transportation
OF troops and supplies; $1SS, 900 for ex-
ira clothing, camp and garrison equip
age necessary to fit out winter CAM
paign; $4,000 to replace horses
which were broken down in the
campaign, and for the purchase of
ponies, and $1,000 to cover difference
in cost of supplies purchased for troops
in the field and the contract prices at
the places from which troops were
drawn. There were other expenses
under the supply department that will
bring the total cost of the campaign up
to $4,000, 900, sum sufficient to have
given the Sioux the 100000 annual ap-
preparation promised them, for period
of twenty years.

Washington special TO Salt Lake
Herald, Feb. 10: Fred Dubois has

that the young statesman had
trouble enough. To-day the Prcsi-
dent added to Dubois woes by NOM

Judge Of the United States Court,
precisely as | said he v ould nearly
two months ago. 1t was an awful
slap in the face, and all three Of the
Senators feel it kccnly. | have the
assurance Of Shoup and Mcconnell
that they will not oppose Beatty's
confirmation. But if Dubois had
his seat he would no doubt kick up
row about it although it would
avail him nothing. The truth is
President Harrison dislikes Dubois
with all the force of his combative
nature. Dubois thoroughly appro-
ciates this fact, and his friends say
that so far does the President carry
his dislike that il is only necessary
for him to learn what Dubois wants
TO justify him in doing something
else. lie certainly has shown this
disposition thus far. and that he
will continue to show it during the
remainder Of his term there is not a
shadow Of doubt.
