BLAIR WANTS AN INVESTIGATION.
He Thinks the Senate Could Get Hold of
Something Interesting

Something Interesting.
WASHINGTON, April 1L-Senator Chandler
to-day presented to the Senate q memorial
from ex-senator Blair, praying for an inves-
tigation into the facts attendant upon the
refusal of the Chinese Government to receive
him as Minister to that country. Mr.. Blair
saws the Chinese Minister has several times
caused him to be informed of his regret at
his rejection, and of his (the Mintster's)
strong desire that our Government would
ask him to request of his Government the
Interchange OF friendly explanations which
would be the means of setting the matter
right.
MIR. Blair thinks an investiga tion will dis
close destestable conspiracy. He ex-
presses the belief that his rejection was
secured by false representations made TO
the Chinese Home Government through the
Chinese Legation in this city, while the
Minister himself was absent and by other
false and dishonorable means. He says he
is in possession of facts tending to prove
that the difficulty originated at least in part
in, and has been fostered by the rivalry of
business interests, which, in their contention
with each other, have employed methods
and instrumen taiities the nature of which
should be ascertained by the Governments
whose friendly relations have been thereby
impaired ii not endangered.

NO ARBITRARY DIFFERENTIALs
Another Important Decision by the Inter
State Commerce Commission.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Interstate
Commerce Commission to-day, in an opinion
by Commissioner McDill, announced its
decision in the cases of the Toledo Produce
Exchange, etc., and Edward Kemble, of
Boston, against the Lake Shore, Michigan
Central New York Central and Boston and
Albany Railroad, in favor of the complain
ants. The question involved is the through
rates to Boston as affected by the arbitrary
differentials over through rates TO New
York of 10 cents on 1rst-class articles 6
cents on second-class articles and cents on
the other classes OF freight
The Commission decides that the arbitrary
differentials now charged are unlawful, and
should hereafter be made by adding n per-
centaCe to the New York rate on shipments
included in the six classes offered from Chi
cago and points east thereof and west of
Buffalo to Boston and other New England
points, and that the defendants and other
carriers interested be allowed 20 days to
show cause, by answer, why an order should
not issue commanding them to desist from
charging said arbitrary differentials, ard
requiring said rates to Boston and New Eng
land points to be made by adding to the
New York rate an increase of 10 per cent
thereof. and If no such answers be filed that
such orders be issued forthwith.

An American Steamship Is Forced to Pu
for Repairs.

for Repairs.
WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE Navy Depart
ment is informed that the United State:
eamshfp Mohican has gone to EsQuimalt
b. C., for the purpose of being docked in the
British navy yard, for necessary repairs
She recently ran on a rock and lost about
ten feet of her false keel The Secretary oi
the Navy received telegram from q
merchant of Tacoma, Wash, to-day, protest
ing against the Mohican's going toan English
dry dock when she might have been repaired
Just as well at Tacoma. 1t is said at the De-
partment that while the Secretary was in.
formed In February Inst that dry dock was
in course of construction at Tacoma, he is
not aware that it is finished, or that it is
capable of receiving vessel Of the size OF
the Mohican.
1t is said further that the repairs required
are OF {. comparatively trifiing nature, and
that inasmuch as the Mohican is on her way
to Bering Sea i: was deemed advisable to
have the work done en- route in preference
to having the vessel brought back to San
Francisco. There is nothing unusual IN the
repair of war vessels of one country in the
navy yard of another country.

DRUMMERs' TAX SUSTAINED.
An Important Decision by the Supreme
Court on . Tennessee Law

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE United States
Supreme Court today gave a decision in
favor of the county in the case of Charles 7,
Ficklen against the taxing district OF Shelby
county, Tenn, brought here on appeal bv
Ficklen from a decision of the State Court
Ficklcn had an Office in Tennessee at winch
he took orders for goods. His business was
entirely with firms outside the State. and
differed from that of ordinary commercial
travellers principally in that he did not
travel about soliciting orders, but had an
office where he exhibited samples A law
was passed inn osing n license tax of $50 on
dealers in merchandise and also q tax on
their capital. Where there was no capital
invested, as was the case with Ficklen, it
was provided that ~ per cent tax should be
paid on all commissions received.
Ficklen paid the license fee, and reported
his sales during the year 1887, but refused to
pay the commission tax, on the ground that
the business done was entirely for firms out
side of the State, and that the act was void
as a regulation OF interstate commerce.
When he applied for license in 1888 it was

ENGINEERING.

1t is believed by a large number of
citizens that there is nothing in the
charges against Engineer Lemon made by
Councilman Sickels. The later is brick
maker or blacksmith by trade and knows
nothing about engineering. The former is
a civil engineer by profession and has
steadfastly pursued that procession for
some years. Now that the city engineer
has denied the charges as false and mali
cious let there be fall and fair inyestiga-
ton under oath and if the charges are
proven false and malicious let Nj. Sjckels
be promptly removed. If Mr.. Lemon is
found incapable he should also be Te-
moved. That is fair The work of Mr..
Lemons predecessor is kaown to have
been crooked in almost every particular
That engineer was recommended 10 the old
city council by Colonel Nick Owings and
was an especial protege Of Councilman
Sickels, who never protested against his
outlandish engineering" work, which has
caused the taxpayers Of the city so much
trouble aud expense. TIE TRIBUNE has
all along had entire faith in the ability
and integrity Of Millard Lemon.

The old speeches of Weaver and Field
the blue and gray candidates of the peo-
ple's party do not fit in all sections of the
country. The southern democrats are
using General Weaver's old republican
speeches to prejudice the southern people
against him and his party, but they have
no fault to find with Field. Here is what
he said in 1880 in speech to some of his
Virginia friends:
you cannot expect to clasp the hand of
General Garfield if he should De elected the
president, for you could never make the
required admission because we of Virginia
fought the war upon conviction Of right
and in obedience to the requirements of
the state, and had no admission to make
inconsistent Herewith. We killed a great
many Yankees during the war, and l wish
we had killed twice as many more
enough to have given us the victory and
our cause success"

his tarih-smashing party come into power.
All the new industries started under the

pens, and all the old industries will be dis
turbed. Nobody will know where he is if

ONE signal advantage of what John
Adams called "the most useless and anon
alous Office ever designed by one mortal
man for another'-the yice-presidency-is
that whoever is elected to it will not be
pestered by ofice-seekers. The vice -presi-
dent has only one place to dispose of-ths
appointment of the restaurant keeper on
the senate side. Whitelaw Reid is for
tunate candidate for this Office. In case
the republican ticket should not win and
the election be thrown into the house, thai
body would probably elect Cleveland pres
ident and the senate would choose Reid as
vice-president.

THE COLOR BINE.

Some time ago T. Thomas Fortune, ed
itor OF the Age, weekly newspaper in
New York, was refused glass Of beer in a
New York hotel. He brought suit and re.
covered SIC damages. Mr.. Fortune is
gentlemanly looking mulatto. The other
day Henry Il. Downing, a wealthy and in
teiGgent colored man, editor of the
Message and formerly United States con-
sui III st. Paul de Loanda, entered high
class Brooklyn restaurant and was elected
by the cashier. Downing said that the
waiter refused to serve him with food, and
when he insisted on his civil rights be was
turned out Of doors with violence, The
restaurant people charged that he was
elected because he was intoxicated. Down
ing was arrested and spent night in the
station house, and then was arraigned in
the police court, but his counsel secured an
adjournment of the case. Mr.. Downing
threatens TO sue the proprietor of the res
taurant, and an interesting litigation may
be the result. Mr.. Downing's paper is the
organ of the democratic colored citizens,
and Mr.. Downing himself was appointed
10 once by PRESIDENT Cleveland. He was
not intoxicated, but he was a black man
and that was sufficient, if be was demo-
crat-which by the way was the politics of
the restaurant keeper and the cashier.
Color makes a difference some times. For
instance: Suppose the elegant Seattle
democrat Dude Lewis, with his fine broad
cloth, kid gloves and high silk hat, were to
enter street car and ses a seat vacant on
one side of the car along side of big ugly
and burly looking white woman with
basket on her lap full Of cabbages, fresh
fish, hmberger cheese etc., and and on the
other side vacant seat along side of
handsome, we'll dressed mulatto girl from
Olympia. Where do you think the Demo-
cratic dude would sit down? Don't all
speak at once.

ers is consigned to Eastern points. With
Oriental freights, such as teas, silk, ETC..
time is the great desideratum. In order to
secure the traffic the materials to be trans
ported must be handled quickly and close
connections must be made. Seattle mer-
chants get their freight that comes on
these steamers just as quick as the Tacoma
merchants do. The Northern Pacific rail
road has nothing whatever to do with this
line of steamers, except that there is a
traffic agreement between the two COM
panies." The official ought to have added
that the United States revenue laws donot
allow steamer from foreign parts to have
more than one port of destination.

skeleton of a sea Cow.

The special treasury agents who were in
northern waters gathering data relative tc
sealing, while on Copper island, on the Si.
berian coast, secured a skeleton of the
Rhytina stelleri, OF Steller's sea COW, a
sirenian of the North Pacific, extinct fol
160 years. The skeleton is nearly thirty
feet long, perfect, and in splendid condition.
1t is the second in existence, the car oi
Russia owning the other The officers OF
the Albatross paid the natives $3.50 for the
skeleton, and the scientists prize the speci-
Smithsonian institution. The last live
specimen of this animal was seen in 173C
by the Behring expedition, and the govern.
ment has since dispatched two unsuccess-
full expeditions, which succeeded only in OBJ
tanning few broken bones.

ling's new series of Japanese papers occurs
the Characteristic phrase: "There are ways

descend upon it from America and the IA
cihc-frOm the barbarians and the deep
sea-" The explanation for these repeated
slurs at America and Americans by the
hipDant and somewhat illit crate Indian, is
easily made. A few years ago KiDling
became literary lion in this country. He
was the most talked-about writer of the
day, and his books sold like hot cakes
Suddenly there came a distinct and elo-
quent lull in the craze, and admiration for
the young man began to cool like spor-
ridge. Ripling saw the change and tried
hs,d TO revive his prestige. Hnall some
one suggested that he insult the Ameri-
cans. 1t was explained to him that there
was no surer way to create a stir Than by
saying nasty things. So Mr.. Kipling said
all the nasty things that he could, and
once more got bis name into our news
papers. He is still reYlling us, and for that
reason is being denounced right and left.
That is all be wants. What NJ. Kipling
dreaded was that America would forget
b N and his chatter. and allow his name to
sink out of sight. He avoids this by fling
ing mud at MS, knowing that certain ex-
citable patriots will dignity him by throw
ing it back at him. The Seattle Post-In-
teljlgencef pays money to this literary cad
or some of his unreadable articles which
that paper occasionally publishes.
