said some time before that he expected 10
die soon.
Medical aid was summoned and it Is
thought he will recover. 1t is said the real

The Philadelphia Press quotes with a
"there that settles it" editorial air the
following extract from au official report
made by Consul Schoenhof TO Secretary
Bayard several years ago
So far .ls clothing and dry goods in gen
cral are concerned find that cotton goods
are fully as cheap in the United states rs
here llinglandl. Shirtings and shcetlnas
il anything, are superior in quality for
the same money with MS, SO far as | can
Judge from the articles exposed for sale in
retail stores. Articles of underwear for
women made Of muslin, are far superior
iii Workmanship and finish and cheaper
in price in the tnied states. Nor can
find that mems shirts, when chiefly Of
1 cotton, are any cheaper here. OF boots
| and shoes, if factory made, the same may
be said.
Schoenhof is very good authority,
and if the editor of the Press continues
to read his reports he will CLEAN great
deal Of valuable information. In re-
/ gard to cotton and leather goods, Mr.,
Sch0enhof has found just what was to
have been expected, for we have the
raw material free in these lines, and
with free raw material the American
manufacturer can challenge the world.
We raise our own cotton and supply
the looms Of Europe with it, just as we
feed the millions Of Europe with our
wheat OF course, we can manufacture
it also, not only for homo consumption
but for export; and, during the eight
months ending August 3lst, we did
export 125,000,O0o yards Of cotton cloths,
besides $1,000, 900 worth Of cotton wear
ing apparel and other manufactures Of
cotton. If we had every article auxil.
larry to the cotton manufacture -dyC
stuifs, chemicals, AEON the free list
we would soon make Great Britain
} hustle all along the line in the cotton
goods trade. OF boots and shoes, We
exported to foreign countries 100000
I pairs during tho same eight months
G besides nearly $7,000,000 worth o
i patent and enamelcd leather and othcl
! leather products, We do this becaus

Discussion over the Friday

BALTIMORE, Mn, Oct. Fin the House
Of Bishops to-day the special committee
reported form of service which was
adopted, for use at the Columbian service,
which is to be held in st. paul's Church
on the 2lst instant. This was ordered to
be printed.
The house resumed the consideration of
the proposed changes in the canons of
ordination. The first canon, rehearsing
the fact that there shall be three orders in
the ministry, bishops priests and deacons,
was stricken out as unnecessary, 1t being
impossible that there should be any other
order in the church. The canon relating
TO postulants was passed upon, as were
also those concerning candidates for holy
orders and consideration of that relating
othe hearing and examination Of a candi-
date for deacon's orders is still pending.

1t is evident that the Democratic
majority of the House intend to
pass the free coinage bill. They
say it is necessary for them to do so
in order to retain theil hold upon a
number of Congressional districts
in the west and south, and they re-
ly upon Cleveland's well. known an
ti-silver sentiments to save them in
the east. 1t will be done, however,
without bitter parliamentary
fight, but as Speaker Crisp has CIV
en- the silver men assurances of his
intention to aid them there is little
or no doubt Of the final result. 1t
is regarded as certain that the Pres.
ident, no has taken advantage o!
the wrangle over the silver bill in

earnest pleading entreaties as If

corner of this churc: near his old

and among multitude whom he
had led to Christ; he will sleep till

This is hallowed place. 1t will
be remembered when suns and
stars have faded. We are leaving
sacred grounds. 1t is supposed
that he preached ten thousand SER

fury.
What ever is broad and liberal
in the history and present charac-
ter Of Maryville College, is due
chiefly to him. His sympathies
were as broad as those of Washing
ton; his patriotism and devotion to
the American Union were as pro-
nOunced as those of Andrew Jack
son himself. He lived for the
whole race. His true monument
is all around us; in the New Provi-
dence church; in Maryville College;
throughout Blount county; though
out East Tennessee, and so far as
his pulpit and his own great sacred
influence had gone. 1t is rare
that any church on removing from
its early site, can inscribe on it's
memorial windows, in commemor-
alton Of it's first two pastors, names
so illustrious as those of Gideon
Blackburn and Isaac Anderson.
The last time DR.. Anderson was III
this house, there was witnessed, says
one of his later pnpils, Col John
MINIS of Knoxville, one of the
most touching scenes ever recorded
of the Church OF Christ in Tenn
essee. 1t was the desire of large
number of his former Pensioners,
scattered over a broad area of
BlOunt county to have the sacred
right of baptism administered to
their children, by the venerable
pastor, who had baptised many OF
their own number in their infancy
and had received almost all to the
covenants and communion of the
Iichurch. Tenderly the aged and in
firm Shepherd of the large flock
was borne in to the familiar house
on God, and was placed for the last
time in a chair in front of the con.
gregation. One after another a
long line of parents in covenant
brought their children so that the
patriarch so near heaven, might
lay his hands upon them and bap'
tie them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son and of the
Holy Ghost. 1t was, says the nara
tor speaking after nearly forty
years, thrilling scene and one
never to be forgotten. There may
be some here tonight who were
dedicated to God on that memOra
BILE Sabbath. DIR. Anderson was
never in this house again. Co
MINIS was one of those who not
long afterwards, carried DR.. Ander
son, in the early morning from his
burning house. He had subse'
quently the pleasure of bringing
to the venerable Saint eight hun
dred dollars, collected by his father
: Rev. DR.. MINIS of New Market
to relieve his old teacher and t(
provide for his wants in his few
closing months. He lived and dice

brance.

SAN FRANCISCO, March Ar. Fowler,
q mining engineer, who had been a guest
at the Russ House for two months, COM
mitted suicide at the hotel this morning
by shooting himself through the head.
Fowler came TO this city from Liver
pool about two months ago. He seemed
well supplied with money, which he
used TO satisfy an Unsuitable appetite for
liquor. He never became demonstrative
while in his cups. but was what is known
rs still, chronic drunk. He seldom left
the hotel, and never gambled. His only
desire was TO keep full of liquor, and he
succeeded in remaining saturated with
whisky during his stay in town.
In the last few days he drank very
heavily, and as a natural result became
very nervous and acted like man on the
verge of delirium tremens. About 4:30
o'clock this morning he walked into the
billiard-room and took seat. He was
evidently suffering greatly from nervous
ness, as he could not remain quiet.
Shortly after o'clock he went into one
of the cardrooms. lie had not been there
over five minutes before shot was heard
The porter rushed into the room and
upon opening the door saw Fowler sit
ting upright in a chair, with a bullet
wound in the right eye. In his right
hand he clutehed new pistol of the Eng
Iish bulldog pattern. lie was still alive,
but died shortly, and the Coroner was
notified of the death and took charge of
the body.

RIVERS AND MINES.
LITTLE so FAR ACCOMPLISHED BY
THE DELEGATES.
Many Members of Congress Opposed to
AppropriatIng Money for Re-
straining Dams.
Special to the REcoRD-UN1oS.


WASHINGTON, March 4.-Nothing has
yet been accomplished by the delegates
III Washington representing the Califor-
mia river and mining interests toward Sc
curing appropriations from Congress for
the erection of dams and other restrain
ing works for the San joaquin and Sacra-
mento Rivers and their tributaries. The
subcommittee to which the bill was re-
ferred has not yet held meeting to con-
sider the matter.
The delegation is not working together
as har moniously as might be desired.
Mr.. Ohleyer does not seem to be in thor
ough accord with his colleagues He de-
clares that he viii not unqualifiedly an
prove of the project of the delegation
heretofore outlined in my dispatches or
OF any other project. He says he will
wait and see what he will see.''
Some of the other gentlemen of the del
egation have reason to believe that Mr..
Ohleyer is really opposing the project
planned by the delegation.
1t would hardly be possible to secure
an appropriation by the hardest kind of
work OF harmonious delegation. and in
the present unharmonious state OF affairs
the chances are 10 to / that nothing will
be accomplished. y good many members
of Congress pretend TO believe that Con-
gress has no rightful jurisdiction in the
matter, and that an appropriation of
money to provide engineering works. in
order that the hydraulic miners may re-
sumo their work, would be in the nature
of subsidy or bounty. Whether they
are really sincere i'll this belief or not it
Will at least serve as a good excuse for
not making an appropriation.
