of wealth is in the East where tariff

that section the balance of the country
is paying grinding tribute from years

teemed contemporaries, anent the
Homestead riot, are endeavoring to e,.

not protect But it does protect, and
that is the complaint of the common
people of this country. n 1t pro-

East and his we'll to do workmen at the
the expense of the agriculturists and
tradesmen OF the South and West and
their poorly paid worImen.
his talk that we hear about 'starva-

THEY FAVOR THE BILL.
Washington Board of Trade Wants tho
Norfolk and Western In the Copito,

Washington Board of Trade Wants tho
Norfolk and Western In the Capitol.
WASHINGTON. July 14.--[Special +
The board OF trade OF this city hold a
meeting last night and received the ro-
port of the committee to investigate the
question Of the Norfolk and Western
railroad entering Washington.
MIR. Warner read his report as troa-
surer OF the board. 1t was adopted
Then, as chairman of the committee to
investigate the Norfolk and Western
question. no strongly urged the passage
OF the bill granting the road entrance
into the city. 1t would be OF general
benefit to the public for the road to he
extended into Washington The road
would aid materially in the progress of
the city, and would give Washing on
needed facilities. The bill was good
one. Another corporation should not
be allowed to shut the road out. The
people want it, tho press was in favor
OF it and the com missioners approved it,
IL vas necessary to the best interests of
the citv.
Mr.. Warner said tho Pennsylvania
road opposed the BILL and at the same
time 1T was seeking favors from the
city. The Norfolk and Western road
would be Of great advantage to Wash
ington; it would open new terri tory and
afford much needed railroad facilities
Virginia was heartily in favor Of it,
One secret of the Pennsylvania road Is op.
position was that it wanted to force the
Norfolk and Western to come into the
city over it's bridge. and thus to GER
tain extent have the Norfolk and Yves
tern in it's power Mr.. Warner then
submitted the 70 lowing.
Resolved, That the president and secretary
present mt once to both Houses OF Congress the
sentiments of this board in favor OF the speedy
passage OF the bill providing for the entrance OF
the Norfolk and Western railway.into the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Speaking to the resolution, Frank
Hume hoped the bill would pass. He
knew that the Pennsylvania road was
fighting the bill. 1t waited to keep
the Norfolk and Westean out of Wash
ington. He was interested on both sides
of the Potomac and wanted to see the
road come into the city.
The Norfolk and Western was one of
the most popular roads in Virginia, it
was one OF the best managed roads in
the country, and Virginia was ready to
grant any request the Norfolk and
Western wanted. The opposition should
cease. Every citizen of Washington
was in favor of the bill, and all the mer-
chants opposed the action of the Penn
sylvania road in trying to defeat the
bill.
The resolution was unanimously
adopted and the meeting adjourned.

Fountain of Forgetfuiness.

The little spot of green down by the
New York postofice is again the haven
Of the weary tramp. Hurfreds Of pro-
fessional beats, the lazy, the good for
nothing, the unfortunate sit there day
by day.
If one of them mods, policeman
comes along, taps him on the chin with
a stick and orders him to ''wake up"
If he does not waken like Lightning, the
copper says, very distinctly that the
tramp shall ''move on" He usually
moves, too, for the rules are very strictly
enforced.
A pathetic phase of the subject is seen
as soon as night sets in-that is, the later
hours, after the noise and hustle of Che
day is ended and silence reigns about
the haunts of trade.
There is little fountain in the mid
die of the place. The tramps who sit il
the little park at night always taxi
seats as near as possible to the fountain
1t is a pathetic sight these old, battered
specimens around the fountain. The
far off seats are deserted, but those
about the fountain are filled to over
flowing.
There is something in the splash Of
the fountain that fascinates the wander.
ing and the homeless. 1t lulls them
maybe, to forgetfulness. New York

The Old Roman Circus.

The department of Greek and Roman
antiquities at the British Museum has
lately acquired a curious relic of Roman
civic life, this being a circus placard
found at Porto Portese Nanuviuin). 1t
is a thin oblong slab of stone about
three feet long, the upper corners of
which are pierced with holes for cords
to pass through, SO that it might be
hung outside the theater and warn those
who came late that there was no room
for them within the building. This ap-
pears by the inscription in Latin: 'tCir-
Gus full! Immense applausel Door
shutv'
From the same city the department. has
obtained two acceptable life size marble
busts, the one being portrait bust of
Titus, interesting because of it's intense
character and verisimilitude and the
comparative rareness of such busts of
the emperor; the other is the likeness of
Roman gentleman, as yet, though full
of expression, unidentified. These works
are the gift Of Lord Savile, and were
discovered during his excavations at
Porto Portese. Baltimore American.

Swordfshing.

Swordfshing is at once exciting,
perilous and remunerative. Last year
,swordfish sold as high as eleven cents a
pound in this port, and a single fish will
often weigh 500 or even 1000 pounds.
The method of getting the fish affords
an opportunity for great sport. Like
the shark, the swordtish can be seen for
considerable distance by his black fin,
which protrudes above the surface of
the water as he swims. But unlike the
shark, the swordfish moves steadily
with the upper tip of his tail also out of
the water, as rigid and steady as the fin
itself. Swordfish also generally go in
shoals.
The swordfsh is captured by means OF
a long spear or harpoon. To the shank
of this spear is attached a stout hne
about 600 feet long, and to the end Of
the line is made fast a stout, water tight
cask. Each harpoon is good for one
swordfish. ard schooner usually carries
O considerable number of them. Port

CHOLERA STAMPED OUT.
Not Caseeof the Disease in the United
Kingdom.

A1ng0Oms
LONDON, Sept. 9.-[Copyright, 1892,
by the New York Associated Press. -
Official reports show that cholera is abb
solutely stamped out Of the United
Kingdom. The local government board
of officers and the authorities at the
chief ports and the greatest populous
centers, concur in the statement that no
cases of real cholera, but only few
choleraic cases, have occurred. The
Lancet admits, however, thatthe defens-
i've measures are somewhat defective.
Inoculation against cholera is being
practiced in the hospitals upon volun-
taiy patients. 1t is reported to be eff
fective, involving only slight feverish
symptoms. After undergoing the pro-
tective process for few days, perfect
immunity from the disease is attained.
John @. New, the American consul
general here, told representative of
the Associated Press that there is no
reason to suppose that the steamship
companies are trying to evade the regu-
lations laid down in President Harri-
sons circular. He had consular reports
of each vessel sailing, and found the
cessation of steerage traffic general.

A CAMP OF REFUGE.


! The President Directs That One Be Es-
tablished at Sandy Hook.
LOON LAKE, N. Y, Sept. 9.-Before
leaving for his trip this morning, the
president sent dispatch to the secreta-
ry of war. saying that while he was not
fully advised as to the particulars for
the request for portion Of Sandy Hook
for camp of quarantined passengers,
he, was anxious to do all in
his power for the safety and
comfort of the people,, and later,
upon receipt of kilograms from the sec
retaries OF the treasury and navy, who
are in New York, he cent message to
the ecting-secretary of war, as follows :
I'm view of the representations made
by Secretaries Foster and Tracy, direct
that sufficient portion of the reserva-
tion at Sandy Hook be set apart for use
as a camp for quarantined steamship
pasee engers."
The president advised the secretary of
the treasury of the order at the same
time, cautioning him as to the difficulty
OF mainta aiming proper quaran-
tine OF such camp, if established,
and also of the possible embarrassment
that might arise from the removal of
the passengers out of the jurisdiction of
the New York officers. Both of these
questions must be left to the judgment
of the officers on the ground, and who
know the situation.
He also directed that notice be given
all steamship companies, that if they
persisted in bringing emigrants from
infected ports, it might result i'll their
being denied entrance 10 our harbors.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Acting Secre-
tary of War Grant this morning tele-
graphed Secretary Charles Foster. at

sion to use the government lands at
