Mr.. Springer, weak and pale, entered
from the lobby door at the right Of the
chair and with q firm step ascended- to
the epeaker's desk.
Mr.. Blount, who was In the chair, cor
daily greeted Mr.. Springer and both
sides Of the House applauded. Leaning
upon the arm of Mr.. Bryan of Nebraska,
Mr.. Springer descended from the rost-
rum and took%his seat behind q magnif-
esnt array Of Moral tributes sent by his
friends.
After . few moments of congratula-
tions he'd passed, Mr.. Springer arose and
said that be had intended to make ex-
tended remarks upon the tariff question,
bat his physician had absolutely prohib-
tied his doing 90. With the indulgence
81 the House he would ask Mr.. Bryan to
read the few statements he had prepared.
Mr.. Bryan then read MI. ~Springer's
speech.
several hundred words from the majority
report (already published) on the free
wool bill. The extract is headed ''Prices
Of Woods IN the United States and Eng
land" and bears on the statement re-
garding the prices OF wool In London and
Boston from 1895 to 1890, furnished by g.
y. p. North, secretary OF the National
Boston and the special agent Of the cen
sus ofhce in charge Of statistics Of wooden
manufacture.
Nj. Springer then says that on Febru-
ary 10 last Mr.. North sent the Ways and
Means Committee q table Of Maugher &
Avery Of Boston, headed average price
erage price In London Of Port Phillip
fleece In American currency, 1868 to 1890
both washed wools." An expert of the
bureau of statistics OF the Treasury de-
partment corputed the annual average
price Of snidivools for the Is years covered
by the table and also the average annual
price for % years, omittingithe years 1871
and 1872, with the following result: Az
years: Ohio, 11.48 cents; Port Phillip,
21.04 cents. Difference In favor of Ameri-
can wool, A cents. Annual average price
OF o Tor q years emitting 1S7l-72:
Ohio, 4O.26 cents; Port Phillip, 1852 cents.
Dihsrsncs In favor OF foreign wool, %
The reason for making a computation
leaving out the years 1871 and 1872 was
that IN those years, according I o Charles
y. Avery Of Boston, the wool market was
In an unsettled aud speculative condition.
Mr.. North In q letter to the Boston Jour-
nal Of Commerce said the table furnished
to Mr.. Springer twas not intended to
show relative cost but simply relative
fluctuations In price,"
Mr.. North, remarks Mr.. Springer, hav-
ing inadvertently "iet the cat out OF the
bag" ~ IL were, by furnishing the COM
mfttee Of ways and means with the tables
true In every detail, but the meaning of
which he did not comprehend, now en-
deavors 20 retract or explain away the
Z meaning Of the table. In this he has
utterly failed.
The speech was warmly a~pplauded.
The general debate being closed, the
committee took MP the bill by paragraphs
Tor amendment and discussion under the
Gyo minute rule.
Mr.. Burrows moved to strike out from
che nrSt paragraph the provision which
plsces "all woods" on the free list.
without taking a vote upon Mr.. Bur-

and the House adjourned.

work when this latent power OF woman
hood is fully developed.
The convention impressed the world
that Christian endeavorism Is syno-
nym for union. There were no eccles-
iastical lines drawn in this convention.
No discussions about whether men
ought to be dipped or sprinkled in bapt-
ism. No arguments about which form
OF church government is right. The
watch-words of the convention were the
words of the Saviour-"One is your
Master, even Christ; and all ye are
brethren"
The Christian Endeavor Society Is
building benches along the denomina-
tional fences so that members can look
over.
The convention proved that the
Christian Endeavor Society is patriotic.
This convention was the magnet that
drew some of the greatest men in the
land. Two of the leading platform
speakers-Joseph Cook and Chauncey
Depew-were there; two Of the great
est leaders of sacred song-Sankey and
Stebbins, were there; hundreds OF the
most prominent ministers OF the land
were there.
Several representatives. OF our gov
eminent were present. Postmaster
General Wanamaker presided Friday
evening. Secretary Of State Foster bid
us Godspeed. Our recent minister to
the court of France, Whitelaw Reid,
spoke thrilling words of cheer. At the
introduction ofthese national represen-
tatives, round after round of applause
assembled and the fifteen thousand young
men and women who came to sing the
praises of Christ our King, broke out In
our National hymn my country tbs OF
the, sweet land Of liberty, Of thee sing"
The great convention at New York
was grand object lesson, and its intu-
ence will never be lost.
At the conclusion OF Rev. Affords ex-
cellent address announcements were
made regarding the coming State con-
vention, which meets at Parkersourg
on Tuesday, and is expected TO adjourn
on Thursday. An effort will be made to
bring the next convention to this city,
and it will no doubt be successful.

Buildings to be Constructed This season
Opened Yesterday.

The members Of the Mozart Singing
Society, OF the South Side, left yester-
day morning in two big wagons for Mo
cart Park, the hill top resort. They
spent the day very pleasantly in the de-

hill, about Forty-third street.
A rumor has been in circulation that
the Company intended to erect an in
cline this fall, but Director stated that
no action whatever had been taken upon
the subject. 1t is intended, however
to commence work soon upon half doz-
en- buildings. One large building will
contain dancing pavilion, with half q
dozen bowling alleys, and there will be
a well-ftted bar and billiard rooms, etc.
1t is probable that an incline will be
constructed next season. The Associa-
ton will grade the road leading to the
rear OF the Park from Caldwell's Run,
and will spend several hundred dollars
in constructing foot-pRth on their city
