THE POPE TO AMERICANs.-Th
Brooklyn pilgrims attended mass in the
private chapel at Rome yesterday.
Most of them received communion at
hands of the Pope. AS each of them
was presented by Father Porcile, the
Pope spoke few words. He seemed
in excellent health. Addressing the
pilgrims, he referred friendly to the de-
votion of the American clergy and
laity, and said he hoped to create sever
al new dioceses in the United States be-
fore his death. He exhorted all Amer
lean Catholics to draw people into the
church by the best of all arguments, an
unblemished life with Christian chart
ty. In conclusion, he asked the
pilgrims for their prayers at Lour-
des, and said that he would be with
them in spirit the pilgrims later left
the city on their journey to Lourdes.

THE TARIFF BILL.-At conference
of the democratic Senators yesterday
evening Senator Brice proposed an in
novation in the shape of proposition
that House conferrees be given an OPP
portunity to secure free sugar. His
idea in detail was that the Senate con-
ferrees should volunteer to recede en-
tirely from the Senate sugar schedule,
leaving both raw and refined sugar on
the free list, as provided in the House
bill, and that the Senate bill should be
otherwise accepted virtually in its
present shape, with both coal and iron
on the dutiable list at the rate Of 40
cents per ton. In urging this upon the
conferrees he said it would necessarily
produce one of three results. If it
should be declined by the House con-
feerrees it would place the responsibility
for the sugar duty upon them. fitshould
be accepted and the Senate should
on this account refuse to adopt the
committees report, the House confer
rees would still bear the odium for in
sisting upon amending the bill. ''If,
thirdly, be said. "they should accept;
if report should be made upon these
lines, and if the report should be &C.
cepted by both houses and should be-
come a law, we should all be happy
TIE conferrees adopted the sugges
ton. and presented the proposition
to the afternoon session of the
conference. 1t is understood that
the proposition created some surprise
on the part of the House members,

accept it, but after considerable discus

Senate amendments, declined to vouch-

VISIT OF HIGH OFFIcER.-As-
sistant Secretary of the Treasury
Hamlin is on an official visit to this
coast to look after the customs service.
He will extend his trip as tar north as
Alaska, and will call in at Victoria
and Vancouver, to look after the con-
sular seal question and obtain infor-
nation as to the smuggling operations
which are said to prevail to large
extent from there to this country.
He will likewise obtain such informa-
ton as may be serviceable in the es-
adjustment OF an ore-sampling works.
on tie border, for which the Wilson
bill makes provision, to prevent the
shipment into this country of ore
that is valued at far below its actual
grade. Mr.. Hamlin says that the Ad-
ministration is much interested in the
western coast and it is with q view of
ascertaining the needs of the service
that he makes the present trip. He
will recommend that the custom force
of officers be materially increased in
California on the Mexican border, and
the same need will probably be found
to apply on the northern border of
this State.

OF VERY LITTLE UsE.-If a State
militia cannot be disciplined to sup
press instruction at home. it had bet
ter be disbanded. There is very little
other use for State troops, and it must
be expected that they will be used, if
any occasion arises for their services
at all, in compelling associates and ac-
quaintances to respect the law. They
are not drilled and paid to act as a
jury when the laws are set at defiance,
but to maintain the dignity of q gov
eminent that has been violently as
sailed. Unless they can be taught to
be true soldiers and to obey orders I'M
der all circumstances, there is no use
OF imposing tax upon the people to
sustain such costly means OF defense.

POSING AS MARTYR. - Debs has

arrest, for contempt of court, refused

Jail in the forlorn hope that martyr
dom may do for the cause what insur-
rection has failed to accomplish. He
still processes to believe in ultimate
triumph, although the boycott seems
to be practically at an end, and to
have faith in ultimate success of the
movement. He stated to a reporter,
Monday: Hereafter we do not in.

they are executed" 1t is given out

and a general assessment it is claimed
will bring in 5000 a week hereafter.

IT seems to be going very hard with
Rev. C. C. Marston the Baptist
preacher of this city, for having said
that Rev. R. McKillop had embraced
and kissed one OF the lady members OF
that flock at Centralia. The Mission
airy Board, it seems, exonerated Mr..
McKillop from blame, but whether it
found the charge untrue or the Of
Tense justifiable, has not been given to
the public. The remarkable part of
proceeding is, that the Board have
cast the Rev. C. c. Marston into outer
darkness. They refuse to contribute
missionary aid for his support in the
Olympia charge, and it has been de-
clared by one of their number that
"if he secures church in this district,
it will be in bad repute with u.s." The
system OF boycott seems to find recog-
milton even in some churches.

WHY THEY REFUSED.


The reason why the Managers AS
sociation at Chicago, representing the
railroads, would not meet Debs and
agree to restore the strikers to the
places they had vacated was this,
namely, that such arrangement would
throw out Of their places the men who
have recently been taken into the
service of the railroads, and who have
risked limb and life in standing by
them.
Any agreement to take the strikers
back into the service would quickly
bring on this state OF affairs, to.wit
Upon getting back into their old
places the men of the union would
take the earliest possible opportunity
to notify the managers that there were
" scabs" in the service, that they
would not work with "scabs" and if
the "scabs" were not dismissed they
would strike again.
Then if the roads did not yield, il
they refused to sacrifice basely the
men who came into their service and
helped them through the former diff
Guilty, they would be subjected to all
the inconvenience and loss of another
strike, accompanied by demonstra.
tions of violence and destruction Of
life and property.
The alternative of these results
would be abandonment OF recent EN-
ployes to the vengeance of strikers re-
stored to position and power. Thi.
would be an act of hideous turpitude
Very properly the Managers Assoeia
ton refused to contemplate it.
The railroads do not refuse, how
ever, to give employment to the
strikers. They are engaging many o
them already, but always as individu
ais, not as members of o union con
trolled by a dictator like Debs. TIL,
railroads will make no agreement will
Debs, or with one of his kind. The,
will employ such men as they want
and do not refuse to employ men VIII,
have been out on the strike; but the,
properly refuse to make such terms oil
would require the sacrifice of the mel
who have been faithful to them dur
ing the extreme difficulties of montl

A NARROW ESCAPE FOR PULLMAN
1t seems that George NJ. Pullman ran
a very narrow chance of yielding up
his life during the first days of the
strike at his works. A dispatch Gays
that group Of anarchists had deter
mined upon his removal" and he
was Swallowed by three men, one OF
whom carried q revolver. At one time
he had his weapon leveled at the back
of the unsuspecting capitalist, when a
companion seized his wrist and babe
him desist. This was not done from
any feeling for Pullman, but it was be-
lieved that his death would iniure the
cause of labor. The man who inter
fered is well.known labor agitator in
Chicago.

THE PRESIDENT APPEALs.-Presi-
dent Cleveland addressed a letter on
the Cd inst to Hon. w. L. Wilson, OF
West Virginia, earnestly appealing to
the Democracy to stand by tariff re-
form. That letter has just been made
public by consent OF its writer, and
was read to the House yesterday. The
bill before Congress does not meet with
the Presidents expectations. and his
letter is a ringing appeal for his party
associates to stand by the principles
on which they were entrusted with
power.

A CHINESE METHoD.-It is said
that the better class of Cinnamon in
their own country consider it an obi.
cation of the greatest importance to
enter upon the new year with all their
debts paid, and if they cannot do this
they disembowel themselves with a
knife, and cancel the debt by death.
The late boycott seems to have been
inspired by the same saturnine sug-
gestion of duty, for the laboring man
voluntarily deprived himself of the
means OF life because he could not at
tain an object that seemed insur.
mountable.

II seems that Debs declared the
strike off Saturday, under belief that
his terms would be accepted by the
Managers Association. Later in the
day, when lie found that such was not
the case, he declared the strike on

difference. Trains are moving and
business is in fair way of through
resumption.
