An Idea From Russia.

Mr.. Gunzburg. a civil engineer Of
Russia, seems to be an inventor who has
performed the apparently impossible
task of pleasing a railway company and
the travelling public at the same time.
He is exhibiting passenger car that
contains the same number of places for
passengers as the ordinary housekeeping
cars of the same dimensions. The places
are all adapted for sleeping, and all pas
sengers can easily lie down and SLEEP
without disturbing each other" Squar-
ing the circle is nothing to this, and yet
these cars are now in use on the Trans
caspian railway.-Boston Journal.

OTTAWA (Ont.), Feb. 24.-Ex-Prem1er
Davies of Prince Edward Island created
scene in the Commons last night by
terrible arraignment of the Government
for the Justification of the record of the
delegates trip to Washington on reci-
procity. Minister Foster reported the
United States would only grant treaty
OF unlimited scope, with a uniform tariff
made at Washington, discriminating
against Great Britain.
Davies gave the lie direct to Foster by
reading Blaine's report to Congress on
the matter, showing the Dominion Gov
ernment would only accede to a treaty
which included alone natural products,
something which every Canadian knew
the United States would never accede to.
"A list of manufactures" said Davies.
was also included in the treaty which
the United States would grant, and as to
a uniform tariff, it was pure fabrica-
tlon." Shaking his hand in the face of
the Finance Minister, Davies declared
tnat while he (Foster) kept back the
records OF the proceeding from ParIia-
ment, he was justified in calling him a
falsliler for the pure purpose of deceiving
the people, SO that he and his colleagues
might retain their situations. The report
OF Blaine proved tho Government guilty
of deceit. falsehood and political trickery
OF the worst kind. He detied Foster to
contradict him, and the Minister did not.

Testimony Taken Yesterday Before
the Investigating Committee.
WASHINGTON, Feb. "a. - Before the
Committee investigating the whisky
trust this morning L. A. Braham, attor-
ney, testified that the adulteration and
sale of imitation goods were on the in
crease and the production of pure goods
was on the decrease. This was the cause
of loss to the Government, as all adul-
terated goods put on the market dis
placed so much of the imported goods,
which paid much larger revenue. The
production of rye whisky last year de-
creased over 100000 gallons and Bour-
bon over 100000 gallons. The spurious
goods increased accordingly.
Deputy Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue Wilson suggested, as a remedy for
the increased production of adulterated
goods, that laws be passed requiring
them to be stamped as such.

WASHINGTON, Feb. M.-The Treasury
situation showed a decided improvement
to-day. Advices received show that the
export of gold at New York for to-mor-
row will reach only $780, 200. Here it was
expected that a million would be re-
quired to meet the demands for foreign
shipment. This, taken in connection
with the fact that in the face of the gold
agitation, the Government has increased
its gold holding by Sl43,OOO, inspired con-
fidence, and led to the belief among
Treasury officials that the tide has
changed. With the 100000 gold to be
exported tomorrow subtracted from the
free gold held in the Treasury, net bal
ance will be left of more than 50, SEQ, ,O90.
The receipts will also increase over the
expenditures, and the close of the month
will show the ledger almost balanced,
despite the fact that more than Sl4 900, 900
will be required for pension payments.
