The extent of the trade between this
country and Mexico is not generally APP
preciated away from the lines of com
munication between the two countries.
But Consul General Sutton has just sent
some figures to Washington showing that
to us Mexico represents a great deal more
than a country to which minister of the
hrst-class may be accredited The consul
generals report says that for the twelve
months ending with February, 1898, there
was shipped hence to Mexico more than
100000 bushels Of corn. Had this grain
been forwarded all at once ana by thecar-
load, the train necessary to transport it
would have been upward of twenty-seven
miles long. Texas railroads received nearly
$500 coo for hauling this corn, and other
American roads received sums amounting
in all to quite as much.

The only thing Sloat Fassett did during
the five or six weeks he was collector OF
the port of New York was to seize Fred
Vanderbilt's steam yacht, the Conqueror,
and force her owner to pay several thou
sands of dollars duty on her. Mr. Van
derbilt paid under protest and took the
case to court. The United States circuit
court of appeals has just unanimously
decided that the vessel was not subject
TO customs duty, hence the government
will have to return Mr.. Vanderbilt s
money. Thus Fassett's record as a col
lector of customs is summed up in one big

OPPONENTS OF HOME RULE.
The Ulster Parliament Meets at
Belfast.

The Ulster Parliament Meets at
Belfast.
BELFAST, Oct. 24.-The Ulster Parlia-
ment assembled to-day to take measures
to resist home rule. The meeting of the
Parliament reused great deal of interest
in the city. The streets were crowded
with people, and the neighborhood of
Ulster Hall was packed to its utmost by
people des1rous of witnessing the assem-
bling of the anti-home rule delegates.
The sitting was conducted in private, but
it transpired that the Duke of Abercorn
was unanimously elected President, after
which the national anthem was sung
amid great enthusiasm.
While the Ulster Parliament wasi u ses-
sion simultaneous conference of nion-
ist women was sitting in the assembly
hall. A heated discussion took place on
the question whether all Unionist people
should be included in the central confer
ence. Two Presbyterian clergymen
moved that only ten should be allowed to
sit in the council, and this motion was
carried. Cam supported the amendment,
and the result was that threats were made
to dethrone him from the Mastership of
the Orange Society. Most of the MEM
bers were dissatisfied with the proceed
ing and left the hall. The meeting re-
solved TO raise guaranty fund which
should not be called on until Parliament
was established in Dublin. A resolution
was carried unanimously declaring al
legiance to the United Kingdom, and
thaking the House OF Lords for rejecting
the home rule bill.

THE OREGON PACIFIC.
1t May Become Part of the Southern
Pacific system.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 24.-It is said here
that the Southern Pacific Company is de-
sirous of controlling the Oregon Pacific
Railway and tributory water lines, which
will be placed on the marke ct in the early
part of next month, The Southern Pacific
has recently had Division Superintendent
l.. r. Field of the Oregon division of the
Southern Pacific system looking over the
Oregon Pacific road. Mr.. Field has been
accom- panied by an engineering expert
and it is reported that the Southern Pa
citic people are taVoraDly impressed with
the Oregon Pacitic's plant, and that there
are possibilities of the former making The
purchase.
Other railroad companies, however are
interested in the Northern Road. One of
them is the Great Northern Railway
Company. James l.. Blair, OF sBlairs-
vile, n. j., many times millionaire,
is one of the largest shareholders in the
Oregon Pacific. Blair is also one of the
| principal hackers of the Great Northern,
and it is for his line that he is making the
| fight to control the Oregon Pacific. 1t is
| the intention of the Great Northern to
make connections with the Oregon line,
thus allowing it rail and ocean route to
| San Francisco.
The third party in the fight is the rep

| holders in the Oregon Pacific, most of
whom reside in Philadelphia.
At present the Oregon Pacific operates
line of steamers on the Willamette
River which runs parallel to the South
ern Pacific Railroad line.
General Agent ID. 4. Vaughn of the Or
egon Pacific said yesterday that be had
known that Mr.. Field and other agents of
the Southern Pacific were going over his
company's road for some days. 1.-The
plant OF the Oregon Pacific" continued
Mr.. Vaughn, lis valued at about fifteen
millions. There is $780, 900 in labor claims
that will have to be satisfied, in addition
to the outstanding receivers certificates,
amounting TO about S600,000."
The road is bonded for $4,000 mile.

system by the Southern Pacific would

me and said he felt it his duty, after the
assurances he had given, that he should
inform me he could not continue the fight
as suggested, but would yield to the
pressure of his associates on the Demo-
cratic side. HI said he spoke for the silver
men OH that side. told him if we could
no longer depend upon the friends OF sill
YER on the Democratic side, we could no
! longer keep up the contest and that a
vote might be taken after the debate had
closed, but that there would be no more
obstruction. The silver men will offer the
amendments and debate them and will
probably vote for all the amendments
which promise anything for silver. 1t is
impossible to say when the vote Will be
taken, but I should think within the
week"
NO HOPE FOR SILVER.
WASHINGTON, Oct 24.-Ex-C Congress-
man Bartine of Nevada, who has been in
Washington during the entire silver.tight,
to certain extent as representative of th e
interests of the West, speaking of the
situation tonight, said there was no hope
for silver. II expect to see silver 60 to
forty cents an ounce. There is only one
thing TO prevent it, and that is the shut
ting down of all the big silver mines,
which will be the case in Nevada. At the
same time, l think unconditional repeal
much better than the compromise pro-
posed, because with that we would have
little opportunity to go before the people
with any hope of winning silver vic
tory. Now we may make such strides
toward it in the next election, that even
as unfavorable an Executive as President
Cleveland will be compelled to do some
thing for silver"
Seneral Allen of Nebraska talked about
the political effect in the West. SIN
Nebraska" he said, ''it means a Populist
victory. and that Senator Manderson will
be succeeded by third party man.
It is supposed that Bryan would be
ready to go into the Populist party and
make the race against Manderson. Bryan
himself says he thinks the action of the
Senate, or rather Congress, in passing
unconditional repeal, would strengthen
the silver Democrats. He would not say
what he would do, but mentioned the
fact that Bland had warned the Eastern
Democrats that they had reached part
ing of ways, and that he would see how
they would part. The silver men all say
very frankly that they prefer uncondi-
tion repeal to any such compromise as
agreed on among the Democrats last Sat
urday.

ton of the Southern Pacific SAID that,
though the volume of traffic is unprece-
dented, the company's earnings have
been diminished at least 10 per cent in
two months. as compared with last sea-

California products sent eastward the
company is not getting back the cost of
transportation. The company's policy,
he said, is to aid in creating market for
California products.

Yesterdays Proceedings in the Senate

WASHINGTON, Oct 24.-In the Senate
Stewart Of Nevada resumed his argument
against the repeal bill. In answer to a
charge that those who opposed the bill
were thwarting the will of the majority,
he denied such was the case. The filibus-
terers were not the silver men but the Ad-
ministration. 1t was filibustering against
allowing the will of the majority to be ex-
pressed. They had used the most cor
rupt, most aggressive, most outrageous
| means-secret at first, public noW-to en-
| slave the majority. Let the Administra-
ton take of its hands and let the major
ity express itself in the Senate, he said,
and silver would have nearly two to one.
| Kyle (POp.) of South Dakota moved
| that when the Senate adjourned it be to
meet at noon tomorrow. Defeated to
| Al.
Stewart then resumed his speech, and
at $780, without concluding. yielded the
! floor TO Jones of Nevada, who resumed
his argument against the bill.
Jones said he desired a dollar that
would keep at parity with pound of cot
ton or bushel Of wheat, and not with a
metal that was constantly increasing in
value.
Mcpherson of New Jersey thought if
gold appreciated interest would have
gone up and labor down, whereas United
States bonds had gone down from to 2
per cent, while labor had gone up in ir-
regular increasing ratios.
Jones replied that one of the highest
proofs of the increase in the value of
money was the decline in rates of inter-
est. Jones at o'clock yielded to Stew
art. Faulkner of Virginia, however,
moved a recess until l o'clock tomorrow
and the motion was agreed to.
IN THE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24-In the House
to-day Mallory of Florida called up and
had passed the bill to amend the revised
statutes so as to include engineers and
assistant engineers in the list of officers of
United States vessels required by the ex-
listing laws to be citizens Of this country.
Debate on the bankruptcy bill was re-
sumed. benson of Alabama took the
floor in opposition, and described at
length the depression of the debtor class,
which he ascribed largely to the demone-
tiZation of silver. He grew heated, and
there was lively alteration.
Patterson of Tennessee objected to the
statement that the Administration sought
to eliminate silver from circulation. and
Bland affirmed that if the Wilson bill
passed the silver in circulation would
have to be redeemed in gold, as green
backs were.
Dalzell of Pennsylvania supported the
bill, and Ray of New Y ork opposed it.
Bryan of Nebraska made a vigorous
speech in opposition to the measure.
At the conclusion of Bryan's speech the
