ducing his obesity.

Miss Frances E. willard is expected to
return TO Chicago late In September. She
is now in Lucerne, Switzerland. and is
much improved in health. but her physi-
clan will not permit her 10 do so much even
as to dictate letter.
William Ryle of Paterson. n. j., is one
OF the largest silk manufacturers in the
country. His father and mother first be-
Gan the making Of silk with hand loom
as far back as the early ffties and w0ye
the American flag that waved over the

There is an impression that the Duke OF

1t will be observed that many of these
are speculative stocks. The decline In
sugar is hardly sufficient to squeeze the
water out of it. The decline In agrlcul-
tural staples is not so great, but is more
suggestive of .he cause. In November the
protective tariff was in full operation.
Whatever apprehension may have been
entertained of Mr.. Cleveland's election
had not manifested itself in prices. But
the election of Cleveland was an an
nouncement that hereafter the working
men in the United States would be on SUBJ
stantial equality with those of Europe and
Asia. Our manufactures would retain
our markets If home goods could be sold
at the prices foreign goods would be OF
fered at. This was notice to employers to
beat wages down. BY reducing the labor
cost Of goods they might hold portion of
the markets. The free-traders used to tell
us that the price Of farmers produce did
not in any way depend upon the wages Of
factory operatives. But the prospect of
lower wages in the manufacturing indus
tries has brought farmers products lower
than the middle.aged man remembers.
Wheat was T6 cents in December and Is
about go cents now. Corn has gone from
80 cents to 40. The prospect for an in
creased foreign market for our agricultural
products. to result from the reopening Of
our markets TO foreign goods at the low
rates of duty tariff for revenue will I'M
pose, has not as yet realized. The home
demand promises to be less for the reason
that former consumers arc now compelled
to become producers. This generation has
had its free-trade lesson, and another will
not be wanted for thirty or forty years.

OUR TRADE WITH MEXICO.

A sta tement has been recently prepared
showing the mount Of foreign capital
placed in Mexico in the last three years.
The United States is credited with $780,
100000 and England with $213.000,0oO.
Thirty years ago the trade OF Mexico was
almost entirely in the hands of the Eng
lish and Germans. The Americans are
now in advance. especially in railroad en-
terprises. These afford facilities for
reaching the interior with goods which
enable our manufacturers to compete,
though In the same lines American gouds
cost slightly more than European goods.
The good feeling between the two
countries is thoroughly established. The
old apprehension that the United States
desired to absorb Mexico either whole or
by piecemeal seems to have died cut.
The morning call., 1893-08-01
IMMIGRATION.

1t is probable that the high-water mark
10 respect to immigration has been reached
and passed. In 1892 tho number of immi-
grants reported was 619, 800: in 1899. clos
ing June so. it was but 497. 936, decrease
Of 1884. 1t is not proba ole that the
figures of 1892 will ever again be reached.
The condition of the American working
man is not 80 conspicuously superior to
that of the foreigner as it was two years
ago. There is no place for so many new
corners. except as they crowd out natives.
To do this they must work at prices which
approximate to wages in tho old country.
The volume of immigration is determined
largely by the letters Of immigrants to
their friends at home. and to their ability
to remit money to depe ndents.

cepted the conditions France inn Osed. the
blockade has been enforced against Eng
lish com mercia al correspondence. The Eng
lsh sympathies OF tho New York papers
have been manifest throughout this Siam
controversy. Not only have facts been
twisted to suit an English purpose. but
speculate ms have been active on the same
side. England has been represented as
firm and France wavering. Whatever
pluck the French showed was inspired by
the coming elections. When. however, We
have to deal with things accomplished the
French seem to have paid little attention
to what the British wanted or did not want.

The Hospital Committee.

At meeting Of the Hospital Committee
of the Board Of Supervisors yesterday a
motion was carried that Contractor En-
bets BIZ given one month. from August
to September 1. 1898. in which to furnish
Southfield Wellington coal TO he public
hospitals, and that Contractor Morton be
given two months, from September 1 to
November /. 1893. to furnish Dunsmuir
Wellington coal-in both cases at contract
prices. The motion was adopted because
there was some trouble between the two
contractors regarding the amount Of coal
ordered from each.
The committee cons idered tho now
famous case Of the dead Almshouse horse.
which caused an alteration between vt
Urinary surgeons Burns and Greedy. but
nothing definite was done as regards pay
ment for the same.

MAGNATE GATHERING.
John T. Brush, "Nick" Young and the
Rest Ready for Work i'm New York.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14-The baseball
magnates are arriving and tomorrow the
convention of the National League will open
at the Fifth-avenue Hotel. Just what QueS-
lions will be discussed about the routine
work that is regularly done at the annual
league meetings., the baseball managers are
loath to say. They are observing silence
until after the preparatory meeting of the
board of governors at noon tomorrow.
Mick Young, of Washington, president of
the league, arrived to-day and was followed
closely by "a. S. Soden aud W. II. ConantS
of the Boston club. Frank De Hart Robin
son, president Of the Clevelands, and John
7. Brush, president of the indianapolis club,
are also here.
Tomorrow the corridors of the Fifth
avenue Hotel will be alive with enthusiasts
who expect to see arrangements completed
at this convention which will place both the
league teams and the players individually
in a better position. 1t is thought by the
men who know most about baseball, that
the league organization will continue on
practically the same lines as it has followed
during the past year. The change of players
will come in for some consideration at the
present meeting, though the proposed
changes are not considered important. The
double umpire system Will be discussed and
a regulation will be drawn up with a view
to ending drunkenness amongst the players.
The only other representatives of the league
clubs who reported at the Fifth-avenue
were w. w. Kerr, of Pittsburgh; James A.
Hart. of Chicago; Col John Rogers. of Phil
adclphia; George w. Wagner and Frank
Elliott, of Washington; f. B.. Talcott, of
the New York club. and E. A. Abel and G..
A. Byrne, of Brooklyn.
Speaking of the coming meeting, Presi-
dent Young said: ''This is, of course, not
the important meeting of the year. That
comes off in March. In the meantime a
committee, which is yet 70 be appointed,
will look into the proposed amendments to
the constitution and bylaws. Whatever
will be done will not be known until just
before the March meeting. The board of
governors meets tomorrow, at 9 a. m, in
the Fifth-avenue Hotel, and the convention
should be over by Thursday night"
President Young declared that the re-
port in regard to the selling of the Wash
ington team was unfounded, SO far as he
knew, and he further said that the present
league had been sufficiently harmonious to
insure its continuance practically as 1t has
been. There was no meeting of the mag
mates tonight. Several of them have their
wives with them and spent the evening at
the theaters. Two representatives of each
club. twenty-four in all, are expected to be
present at the opening of the meeting.

GOTHAM'S CHURCH SALOON.
1t Is Like Any Other store" and Does
a Rushing Business.

NEW YORK, Nov. IA great many men
of all sizes, sorts and capacities went into
Robert fuckers Bonded saloon, yesterday,
to get a drink and take a look at the place.
The parkeepers were on the broad grin all
day. This saloon may conform to Rev. w.
S. Rainsford's idea of a properly conducted
saloon, but, as d matter of fact, it bears
a striking resemblance to the saloon on the
next corner, and the saloon on the next
above that, and the saloon on the next, and
the next, and the next.
In Mr.. fuckers saloon you can get two
kinds of ~whisky-the ten-cent and the ff-
teen-cent kind. Brandy costs 10 cents a
pony and 20 cents if you help yourself.
The beer is good and the cigars, like all
saloon cigars, are pretty bad.
do many church people come in here?"
one of the barkeeperS was asked.
D if L know. We can tell the diff
ANY clergymen?'
"Oh, Lord, no! They never come into
saloons"
but this is run as a church saloon, isn't
it%'
The barkeeper %grinned. This is a first,
class saloon he said; We keep good
clean, and we don't sell anything to women
or to minors, but We haven't got an organ"
DR.. Rainsford said yesterday: Ever since
L proposed what seems TO be the best
method of getting rid of the drink evil L
have been somewhat misunderstood. The
name church saloon does not correctly eX-
press my idea. A preacher cannot well go
into such matters. He can only throw out
the seeds, and if there is anything in them
il will be taken up by the public. My plan
was merely to put the liquor traffic into the
hands of the better elements in society.
1 have accomplished something in getting
this bond from Mr.. Tucker TO keep a re-
spectacle house, and | think he means to
do honestly by me. There is a clause in the
bond which will make the agreement bind
ing upon anyone who may take uD the bust
ness on that corner at any time in the
future. This insIres q decent carrying on
of the business in that place, at least so
