Canadian Reciprocity commissioners at the
White HOuse.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The Canadian
reciprocity commissioners, accompanied by
Secretaries Blaine and Ell1ins and Sir
Julian Pauncefote, called at the White
House to-day and were formally presented
to the President. The visit was merely
for the purpose Of paying their respects.
At the close of yesterdays meeting it
was decided to hold the next session Mon
day, when negotiations will be continued.
There are no means of ascertaining at
present how much longer the conference
will be continued. 1t is understood Secre
tary Blaine elected the fact the com
missioners from Canada have in
reality no power to conclude a
reciprocal trade arrangement at
present and on that intimated further pro
longation of discussion of the QUESTION at
this time would be useless, as ground that
may be covered in the preliminary discus
sions would have to be gone over again,
should Canada ever send commission en-
ployed to bind the government to treaty.
1t is rumored an adjournment till Monday
was taken in order that the cables might
be utilized toward obtaining from the gov.
eminent at London some official express
sion giving the present negotiations color
of authority.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Looming UP as a
Presidential Candidate.

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 10. - Ex-senator
Joseph E. Brown favors Senator Hill, of
New Y ork, for the Democratic presidential
nomination. He has addressed to the
editor of the Constitution lengthy letter on
the subject. He regrets the unfortunate
division between Cleveland and Hill and
says to make victory certain
UNITED DEMOCRACY is NECESSARY.
The party should take the earliest steps
possible to ascertain what is the sentiment
of New York, Connecticut, New Jersey
and Indiana, which states Cleveland lost
in 1888. Senator Brown says he doesn't
remember a single case where the same
person had been nominated by either
of the great political parties to run
three consecutive times for President,
whether successful or unsuccessful,
from the second election. If this had bean
the Democratic usage then the usage IS
unfaVorable to the claims of President
Cleveland, and it would be more in con-
formi y with the usage of the party TO
nominate Senator Hi, or some other coed
man. Brown mentions the long ana valu-
able services of Senator Hill as governor
of New York to the Democracy; the re-
cent fact that by a master stroke oil
policy, he
SECURED A DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY IN THE
LEGISLATURE
of New York, and has redeemed the state
for the Democratic party for many years
to come, and says. lit would seem no
other Democrat has done more for his
party or more richly merits it's honors and
emoluments. Grover Cleveland being out
of the way, by the unbroken usage OF the
party, Senator Hill, by his wisdom in
council and his ability in execution, looms
up head and shoulders above
ANY OTHER AsPIRANT."
Brown thinks Hills nomination would
be followed by success at the ballot box,
which will cause all branches of the fed
! eral government to pass again under the
control of the Democrats. He urges unity

Probable sriclde OF Husband and WIfe.

GALLATIN, Tenn, Feb. ia deplora-
BILE tragedy is reported from Portland, a
small town in the northern portion Of the
county. Elves Pardue, a well-known
young farmer, and his wife, were foune
this morning lying dead on the floor o.
their bed chamber with their throats cut
from ear to ear. The circumstances are
such as to create the belief the deaths of
both we're the result of suicide. Near Mrs
Pardue was bloody razor, with which the
CHASTITY deed was done. The fact that the
razor lay nearest to her, led to the conjec-
ture she was the last to use the instrument
OF death. In fact this theory is supported
by note, said to have been found in the
room, written by Mrs. Pardue's hand and
signed by her, in which it is stated she and
her husband had no friends, and as he con.
Guided to commit suicide, she would take
her own life rather than live without him
The couple had been married only year.

were present Acting Chairman Stewart
and Senators Shoup, Davis, Jones, Faux

room was filled with other members of
Congress, and visiting gentlemen from
Utah. The argument was opened by G. c.

the past history of legislation for Utah and
statement as to its present condition. pre-
scented
A FORMIDABLE ATTACHMENT
OF the system of government in that terri
tory. His dissection of the operations Of
the Utah commission and its conduct of
affairs, its usurpation and abuse of power
was merciless. Mr.. Richards then took up
the question of the courts and showed by
the records the enormous expense of OBJ
tanning witnesses and jurors to attend at
one point for several different counties.
Judge Judd was the second to address
the committee. He also called attention to
the
ABUSES OF THE UTAH COMMISSION.
In the course of his remarks he read from
the opinion OF court in Ferguson against
Allen. The conclusion reached by the
court in this case seemed to astound the
Senators, ard especially Senator Davis,
who declared it to be against all precedent
and authority. Judge Judd created an
other sensation when he declared there

partment was asked to file a copy of this

as it gave the lie direct to the report of the
majority of the commission for 1891.
F. S. Richards followed Judge Judd. His
remarks were not completed at the hour of
adjournment Mr.. Richards confined him
self almost exclusively to the present con-
dition Of political affairs in the territory,
and read numerous extracts from the
