WAsulSoroy, D. c., March 0.-The
tariff discussion Of tho Fiftli.second
Congress opened in the house Of rep
esentativcs to-day with Representative
NcNIillin, OF Tennessee, as tho leader OF
the tariff reform forces, and Represent
alive Dingley, OF Maine, as the defender
Of the Mckinley law. Despite the well
known fact that n discussion OF the
tariff is mainly matter OF comparison
Of statistics and figures; that it is in its
essential features but n presentation OF
apparently irrefutablc, yet totally ir-
reconciliable views, the galleries were
we'll crowded long before the hour OF
the opening and tho public interest
manifested in the debate was greater
than on any previous day OF the scs-
sion.
Representative Blount, OF Georgia,
presided over the deliberations OF the
committee Of the whole, and when he
wearicd now and then OF his arduous Ia
bOr$, Representative kilgorc, tho giant
statesman OF Texas. was called on to as
sumo the garel. Mr.. MIcAIillin as might
have been expected, devoted his atten-
ton TO 4 review OF tho Mckinley law
and its effect upon commerce, the in
dustrics and the wage workers OF the
country, and Mr., Dinglcy naturally
soug ght to defend and justify the law,
and insisted that the highest CONNER.
Cial wisdom justified its pcrpetuity.

under discussion whereby the, Secretary
OF the treasury is directed to pay to
Wcst Virginia the amount allotted 10

Algcr, who yesterday announced him.
self as a candidate for tho Republican
nomination for President, arrived at
the Grand Pacific Hotel to-day.
General Alger, speaking Of his candi-
dacy, was very confident. 'For many
months" ho said, ~ have been impor-
tuned by influential Republicans in
Michigan and other states to become
candidate for tho Republican nomina-
ton, and have consented. My candi-
dacy docs not mean that there Is any

ton of President Harrison. shall

To all these letters have replied very
emphatically that shall do nothing OF
tho kind, would not spend money to

me President tomorrow. Ii a man can

Speaking Of his war record, General

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 0.-Tho
senate spent nearly three hours this
afternoon in the consideration OF tho
Berins sea seal fisheries questions. The
subject camo before it through tho
presentation by the Vice President OF
the Presidents message transmitting
tho correspondence between the two
governments.
The committee on foreign relations,
through its chairman, stated in answer
10 a question that it had not yet been
able to fully consider the treaty and re-
port to the senate.
1t appeared from the discussion that
q large majority OF the senators were OF
the opinion that the treaty should be
amended by the addition OF clause
providing for the renewal OF the modus
vivendi, or that the resolution OF tho
ratification should be accompanied by q
direction to the President to withhold
exchange OF ratifcations until Great
Britain consented to 4 renewal.
Senator Sherman called attention to
the significant fact that Lord Salisbury
had in the correspondence repudiated
any responsibility on the part OF his
government for the action OF the poach-
ers. The senator thought the United
States had gained in the contention
through this admission.
He urged strongly that when the
treaty was reported it should be ratified
by the senate, taking the ground that
by doing so the United States would
evidence to the world its willingness to
arbitrate the questions involved.

For Harrison and Reid.

Ihe political campaign was opened locally
on Wednesday evening of last week, when
the flag of the Ward One republicans was
raised on East State street. The band was
present, and as the flag was run out it was
greeted with the strains of "The Star
Spangled Banner" Three cheers for Har-
rison and Reid were given. H. A. Huse, Esq.
then made short speech in which he
quoted letter of Andrew Jackson in favor
of protection, thus contrasting the posi-
tion of Jackson with the present free trade
attitude OF the democratic party. The fed
eral election bill and the silver issue were
touched upon, after which Mr.. Huse intro
duced w. A. Lord, Esq, as the speaker Of
the evening. Mr.. Lord asked his auditors
to take the record of the two parties in con-
gress as their true expression on the silver
question. A majority of the democrats are
for free silver, and great majority of re-
publicans are against it., He spoke of the
protectionist sentiment of the early states
men OF both parties and wondered why they
never discovered that protection was un-
constitutional as the democratic party now
asserts it to be. Mr.. Lord said the Argus
had given him subject for his speech
What are we here for?" Well" said
he, that is democratic conundrum."
After next falls election he predicted the
question that party would then ask itself
would be, What are we living for?"
Three more cheers for Harrison and Reid
and Fuller and Stranahan were given at
the conclusion of Mr.. Lords speech.
Saturday evening another and larger flag
was run out over State street. between the
Ellis building and Union block. The band
played stirring selections, and cheers for
the candidates were given. Mr.. Huse intro
duced Ex-Governor Dillingham;, who spoke
from the balcony of the Ellis building. The
ex-governor made rousing speech in
which he eulogized the republican party for
its proud record. 1t had done nothing in
its history of thirty years of which it had
reason to be ashamed. The democratic
party had really been a free trade party in
every national election except that of 1872,
but this year its position was palmer than
ever before. Mr.. Dillingham; spoke but
few minutes, as he was obliged to leave on
the evening train. He was given three
cheers as he left the balcony.
l.. Bart Cross has put up flag-pole sixty
two feet high opposite his residence, and at
the top Off is one of "grandfather's hats, of
tin and covered with gold leaf. A banner
twenty-one feet long, of red and white bunt-
ing, with the name of Harrison in blue,
floats gracefully from the hat. 1t is pretty
and clever combination.
John w. Swasey raised a Harrison and
Reid flag at his home on Court street, on
Saturday.
