passage OF bill recently introduced in
the house of representatives by Bryan,
of Nebraska, placing lumber on the free
list. The convention aske that 50 per
1000 feet be imposed as duty.
The committee on resolutions re-
ported petition to congress to the
effect that the lumber industry OF the
United States was the largest single
manufacturing industry OF the country,
representing an investment Of capital OF
not less than $3.50, 200, 900, and furnish
ing livelihood to at least 8, 600, 900 peo.
pie. 1t calls attention to the fact that
the official statistics heretofore pub.
lished have simply comprehended the
manufacture of lumber by milling es-
adjustments, the cutting Of trees and
transportation to the mills never having
been included.
The petition says: By the Bryan bill
it is proposed to improve the favorable
conditions under which the Canadian
manufacturer is enabled to compete
with Americans in the markets of the
world, and an earnest protest against
the removal of the present duty is
made.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Indications
are that Senator Hills trip to the south
will assume far greater proportions than
originally supposed by its promoters.
Invitations from Ell parts of the south
have been coming in thick and fast, and
the senator is considerably embarrasse
in his desire to respond favorably to all.
He said to an Associated Press reporter
this evening, that he would like to visit
all points, but does not see how he can.
He is engaged to address the Mississippi
legislature the 10Th inst, and to speak
on st. Patrick's day at Savannah, Ga.
Hills southern friends in congress
however, believe he will change his pro-
gramme to include stops at all the larger
cities, and that his southern trip will be
made series of political ovations.
New YORK, March PA Herald
special from Washington says: "'What
is to be the policy of the Democrats re.
garding free silver?' was the question 1
propounded to Senator Hill.
''Hill smiled and replied: I am a
new senator and have not as yet been
able to discover that the Democrats have
policy about anything"
When asked how he would vote on
the free silver bill if one comes before
the senate, he said: II will not cross
that bridge until l come to it,

WASHINGTON, March 2.-In the senate
today, Dolph, in presenting petitions
from his state, favoring government aid
for the Nicaragua canal, said he was
heartily in favor of such legislation. He
question that is now or that has been in
the last quarter of a century before con-
gress and before the American people.
He was not sanguine as to the ability of
the canal company to secure che con-
struction and completion of the canal,
and he wished to see the United States
Mt the head of the matter. First, be-
cause he desired to have the canal
speedily constructed; second, because
he desired that, when constructed, it
should be under the control of the
United States, and third, because he
was desirous that the canal be capital
lied only at its actual cost value. He
was therefore earnestly in favor of gov
eminent aid to secure the early COM
pletion of the canal.
The election case was then taken up.
Villas argued in favor of Dubois and
Teller, who was to close the debate, said
he did not care to weary the senate any
further, and moved vote. This, how
ever, was postponed until tomorrow
afternoon, and the senate adjourned.
Senator Kyle today reported favor
ably from the committee on education
and labor, the senate joint resolution
for an investigation relative to the slums

RHODE ISLAND DEMOCRATS.
Delegates to the Chicago Convention
Instructed for Cleveland.

Delegates to the Chicago Convention
Instructed for Cleveland.
PROVIDENCE, R. l., March 2.-The
Democrats of Rhode Island met this
morning for the nomination of state
officers and the selection of delegates to
the national convention. Charles E.
German was elected temporary chair
man. His speech eulogized the Cleve-
land administration, and his remarks
were greeted with loud applause and
few Kisses. A resolution was presented
and referred to the platform committee,
instructing the delegates to the national
convention to vote for Cleveland. 1t
was received with great enthusiasm.
The temporary organization was made
permanent. The platform reported to
the convention demands free raw ma
terial; approves the Springer wool bill
and urges it's early passage; favors
placing iron, coal and timber on the
free list. Upon the coinage question it
reads: "Every dollar of American
money, whether of gold, silver or paper,
ought to be equal the world over"
The repeal of the Sherman coinage
act is favored because OF it's failure to
accomplish the results desired, and for
a like reason the free coinage OF silver is
opposed, except upon an international
agreement. The platform closes with
DR.. Hovey's resolution of instructions
for ex-President Cleveland.
Nominations for governor being called
for, the faction accredited to Cleveland
presented the name of David Baker, ex-
lieutenant governor. Il. G. Wardwell
was placed in counter nomination. The
vote resulted in Wardwell being declared
the nominee.
For lieutenant-governor, Charles F.
German of Providence was nominated
over Charles Acton Ives of Newport,
who was placed in nomination by the
Wardwell men. Ives was repudiated by
the Newport delegation, and bitter talk
followed, the speaker intimating that
Newport had been traded for Senator
Aldrich.

Pacific Mail Steamships Will Be Com
PEELED to Tie Up.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-Assistant
Postmaster Bell, who has charge of the
foreign mails, was asked the reason why
sacks OF mail for different points in the
United States, delivered by Pacific
Mail steamship at San Diego, on the
north bound trip, had been returned to
the steamer and taken to San Francisco.
He was also informed of the statement
of the postmaster at San Diego, that he
had refused to receive the mail because
he had received no orders of any kind
as to the handling of South and Central
American mail. Mr.. Bell said he knew
nothing of the incident and could not
speak intelligently until he knew where
the mail was going. and what class mat
ter it was. He promised, however, that
the handling of mails would be facili-
tated as much as possible.
With reference to the complaint that
the Pacific Mail steamers had refused to
tie up at the wharf in the port of San
Diego, but remained in the stream. Bell
said: Haven't they landed? Well, ii

RUSK FOR PRESIDENT.
Enemies of Harrison Getting Up b Dom
for Uncle Jerry.

Tor Uncle Jerry.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-Jerry Rusk
for president is the latest thing in polit-
ical life in Washington. Uncle Jerry
does not know it, and has not even been
consulted, but a number of Republican
senators, eager to defeat Harrison's re-
nomination, have agreed to take up the
farmer statesman from Wisconsin at the
proper time and nominate him, if they
can swing enough votes to do it. Their
arguments are that Rusk is popular
with the farmers, and therefore would
be great vote getter; that he has a
good record as a soldier; that he has
had experience enough in public affairs
to show he is a man of ability and capa-
city.
1t is argued that Jerry, if put forward
in the convention, would weaken Harri-
son where Harrison is supposed to be
strongest, in the west and south. If
these Republican senators succeed in
bringing enough anti Harrison Republi-
cans into line for Rusk, probably a
break will be made in the convention.
