The Commercial Treaty Between France
 and the United states Ratified.
 PARIS. March President Carnot to-day signed the commercial eonven- ton with the United States
 WASHINGTON, March 1.-The com mercial treaty between the United States and France just signed by President Carnot has not reached the State Department, and until it is received General Foster declines to make known such details as he pos sesses. Some changes have been made in the original form and of them he is ignorant. He says, how ever, that the treaty is based entirely on the reciprocity clause of the Mckin- ley act, and that in return for this coun- try continuing to admit free such of the mentioned articles-coffee, tea, sugar, molasses and hides-as France sends to this country, France will reduce import duties on our meats and cereals, but just how much he is unable to say. He expects the treaty the first of next week and it will then be made public.

The House.

WASHINGTON, March 17.-Mr. Coombs, of New York, who had the floor on Friday last, resumed his speech yesterday He said there was no need for high tariffs now. He favored a policy which could be so arranged as to prevent the excessive collection of duty. The tariff should be divorced from politics. The manufacturers have SO much to do to meet the needs of trade that they had not paid proper at
 ention to foreign demands. The very pattern of muslins, which are import ed from Manchester, were sold at 9 cents a yard one year and the next year at l2 cents. Silk sold at 90 cents yard at retail one year is sold the next year for s. 50 yard: The reason the United States does not export more prints was because we cannot supply the foreign market with the goods when they want them.

 the Free Coinage of Silver.

An Apparent Majority in the Senate Tor
 the Free Coinage of Silver.
 WASHINGTON, March 17.-It begins to look very much as if the President would have to decide before long whether he will veto free silver bill or not If the Senate Committee on Finance could speak the final word, there is no doubt that the Bland bill, after its receipt from the house, would sleep the sleep that knows no waking on the committee files. There seems to be no possibility of this, however, much to the regret of several presidential aspirants who would be glad if they could avoid the necessity of meeting the question face to face. The Presi- dent is said to be most desirous that the bill shall reach him before the Minneapolis convention meets.

 tic Mortgage and Securities Trust.

York-fer no more vivid scenes of con.
trasting human emotions could ever be
conceived by brain of artist. I do not
mean that 1 would spend my time over
the hull and rigging of the ocean mon
ster, for it changes not, whether it is
seen lying in the Mersey or snugly har-
bored at its New York dock, but would
try to put on canvas the faces of the
vast throng which crowds the deck.
There, at Liverpool, old associations
are newly broken and the wounds are
fresh, eyes are red with weeping and
hearts are wrung with the pangs of
parting from the friends of a lifetime.
But here, the restful voyage has done
its healing, and hope and gladness IL
lumine every countenance, for the land
of promise is reached, and sluggish in
deed must be his nature whose spirit
does not thrill with the expectancy of
the new life. Even the cabin passen-
gers, who have no battle before them,
forget their languid ways and catch some
ofthe enthusiasm of their hum bier fellow
voyagers, and some of them are Ameri-
cans, who have been for a scamper
through Europe, rejoicing to get back
to their own beautiful shores and sunny
skies.
Such scene fascinated Mrs. Evesham
as she stood with her daughter Kate
on the gangway of the Northern Star,
gazing with amused wonder at the busy
crowd swarming over the vessel like
beeSAin a hive.
She had come to meet Number SKIS

Through the courteous interference OF
an official who had been attracted by
their gentle bearing they were among
the first to set foot on the deck of the
steamer. Mrs. Evesham had not
brought Alice with her, for she had
thought it best to leave her at home to
supervise hospitable preparations for

tenderest solicitude.
They were rather helpless couple
in such an emergency, but they pressed
bravely through the crowd to the
stewards cabin, where they found a
good-natured, vo1uble little man re-
ceiving dilatory fees and bidding CRATE
full adieux to his gracious patrons.
He found time, however. to attend to
their solicitations.
NO" he said, gravely, in answer tc

as she sank into convenient chair to
rest awhile and think.
