How the Remington Typewriters Are Dis
posed of.

NEW YORK, April 4.-Some idea of the
present wonderful growth of the type
writer business may be gained from the
fact that the sales of Remington type
writer's for January and February, 1892,
exceeded these of the corresponding
months of 1891 by 100000. The great
and constantly gaining popularity of the
Remington is clearly shown by the fact
that the business has more than doubled
within three years. The Remington fac
tory at lion, N. Y, employs seven hun
the sales agents, Wyckoff, Seamans &
Benedict, who dispose of machines at the
utes.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., April 4.-Pawtuck-
ct Republicans held a mass meeting to-
night, at which ex-Speaker Reed and
Roswell G.. Horr of Michigan were the
principal speakers. Mr.. Reed said in
point: ssThe people of Pawtucket today
are twice as well off as they were 80 years
ago. No one doubts that, yet Mr.. Grow
er Cleveland
Cheer upon cheer greeted the name
of Cleveland. When it subsided Mr..
Reed said:
II am glad to hear you cheer him]
he'll need it, He continued: ''Mr.
Cleveland says we have been wasting a
thousand million dollars each year and
throwing it out of the window, yet in the
face of that fact the people are growing
better off. If this is not SO, then the
whole theory of free trade falls flat
to the ground. Where is the finest
market in the world? Where you can
get the most money to spend. Where is
that? In America, where the people
have lived under Republican pro-
lection for twenty-five years.
Everybody in the world, except the DEM
ocratic party and Great Britain, believes

Still too Weak to Address the House
The Chinese Bill Bitterly Assailed and
Warmly Defended
WASHINGTON, April Ain the House
today, Mr.. Geary of California moved to
suspend the rules and pass the bill to
absolutely prohibit the coming of Chinese
persons to the United States.
Mr.. Hooker of Missouri said the pend
ing bill practically excluded all Chinese
except the minister and his suite. Ia
proposes to abrogate every treaty ever
entered into with the Chinese Empire.
The United States could not
afford to take this action against
the most powerful of nations in
point Of numbers on the globe. 1t was
bad faith, and we ought to keep good
faith with every nation, great or small.
Mr.. Hit of Illinois said that never be-
fore had there been presented to the
House an anti-Chinese bill which
so utterly disregarded and violated ma
tional faith. With cold perfidy, this bill
declared that all treaties in contraven-
ton with this act should be repealed, set
aside and abrogated, but the parts of
treaties to our advantage were not to be
abrogated. We proposed to revoke
everything of advantage to China, and
claim that China, as an honorable nation
should carry out all it had coyenanted
Mr.. Geary said the Chinese govern
ment both through it's officers at home
and in this country, had done everything
in its power to violate the spirit of the
treaty. Whenever a foreign power came
here, it said to the American Congress
that it had no right to legislate for the
protection of its own people. He was
ready to abrogate any treaty or law if, by
so doing, he could protect single labor
er in his own land.
The motion was agreed to, and the bill
passed-179 to AZ.
Mr.. Springer's Speech.
The House voted that Mr.. Springer be
given permission to speak, without limit,
on the free wool bill. Mr.. Springer,
weak and pale, entered from the lobby
door at the right of the chair. With a
firm step, he assembled to the Speakers
desk. Mr.. Bland, who was in the chair,
cordially greeted Mr.. Springer and both
sides Of the House applauded. Mr..
Springer descended from the rostrum
and took his seat behind magnificent
array of floral tributes sent by his
friends.
Owing to Mr.. Springers weakness, his
speech was read by MI. Bryan. 1t was
warmly applauded.
In the subsequent debate under the
five minutes rule, the House became
very noisy, nobody apparently listening
to the speeches. Finally it was voted to
adjourn.

tonight in the dinner given to Secretary
of the Navy Benjamin F. Tracy, by the
Young Mems Republican Club of Provi-
dence. Infantry hall was filled with the
largest company of diners in the clubs
history, covers being laid for lao.
Hiram Kendall, President of the club,
who presided, Secretary Tracy and Sena-
tor Nelson W. Aldrich were greeted with
cheers and applause as they came in.
On the platform were Hon. John P. Dol
liver, of Iowa, Judge George M. Carpen-
ter of the United States District Court,
Gov. Herbert w. Ladd, Lieut..
Henry A. Stearns, D. Russell Brown,
candidate for Governor, ex-Gov. Royal
C. Taft, Alfred H. Littlefeld ana ex-
Congressman Warren O. Arnold. Shortly
after o'clock, the doors were thrown
open and the galleries quickly filled.
President Kendall called the company to
order and delivered brief speech. He
then introduced Secretary Tracy. AS
the Secretary advanced to the front of
the platform, the whole company rose
and
Cheer Upon Cheer Rang Out.
Secretary Tracy highly commended SEN
ator Aldrich and said his defeat would
be national loss. He praised the
present national administration and
specified what each executive de-
partment had done that he
considered praiseworthy. He also refer
red to the unanimous endorsement given
by the Supreme Court to eX-Speaker
Reeds rulings. Secretary Tracy's men
ton of ex-Speaker Reed name was ap-
plauded.
Other speeches were made by Hon.
John P. Dolliver of Iowa and Senator
Aldrich. During the speech of the latter
ex-Speaker Reed arrived from Newport
and received an ovation. He began by
saying that he had been misinformed as
to Rhode Island and it was larger than
New York. He did not see how they
packed themselves away, after this en-
thusiasm, and left room for Mr.. Cleve-
land and the western congressman. He
continued as follows: One of the plain
est duties of Christian statesman is to
see others do their duty. If you do that,
the prophecy that Senator Aldrich has
Just made to you will come true. You
don't realize how important your cleo
ton is to all the people. You have an
opportunity seldom afforded you to
SET Cn6 hey NOUc Ol tuo SeaupaRShs
You must show what you are ready to
do to carry the country. The Republic
can task does not get easier as the years
go by because the progress of the human
race must be limitless. You must not
only go forward, but bring the rest of
the world forward. 1t is the perpetual
education of ourselves and those around
us that comes up anew at every election.
Constant exertion is the only thing that
saves us. At the last election, we had
series of misfortunes outside ourselves
which would have overwhelmed any par
ty that had not in itself the seeds of
everlasting progress. Today, every one
of us believes that before us is the possi-
bility of a great victory and another on
ward march. This scene is an assurance
that the Republican party has its old
vigor and vitality.
AS Mr.. Reed finished, great applause
arose and the cheers completely drowned
the band which played unheeded till the
ex-Speaker rose and bowed again and
again.
