UNDERSELLING THE ENGLISH.

American Cloths Being Sold in Great
Britain Cheaper Than Domestic Goods
Evidently in the expectation that his
statement that American cloths were being
sold in England below the price OF cor
responding English cloths would be chaI-
lenged, United States Consul Meeker at
Bradford, has sent a supplementary re-
port to the Department of State giving
particulars of the transactions, with names
of the firms, prices, &c. He states that
one large Bradford house has sent it's trav-
cling man and agents to India Italy, South
America and France with samples of twist
melange flannel made in New York. They
expect to take liberal orders at % to 30
cents per yard, double width. They are
also showing line of Algiers cloth, made
in the United States, pronounced by French
merchants to be of wonderful value and
for which a sale is expected in time. The
New York manufacturers have been in
formed that if the samples were exact
large orders might be expected, particular
ly in the English house trade, as the goods
contain no shoddy, are all short wool and
are very strong, and are so superior to the
English goods, which are tender The con-
sui reports that a lot of Massachusetts ct
blankets sold recently in England at a
very small price. because, while handsome ;
ly finished. they had little wool in them and
were too light. .

the new plat book of the District. Hereto

the new plat book of the District. Hereto
fore, when bids have been opened not only
the, bidders and reporters of the local pa
pers were present, but representatives of
most of the trade journals All but the
bidders were refused admittance today, and
a message coming from the Commissioners
" as to the effect that the press would be
acquainted with the name of the success
full bidder when the contract is awarded.
The Commissioners seem to be we'll
pleased with the condition of affairs now
prevailing, as they deal out only what they
wish published. While the order is in effect
there is not much opportunity for anything
appearing in print which might be dis
tasteful to the Commissioners. Their CEN
sorship is just now complete, and but little
possibility exists of any item of Importance
being published which does not receive
their appreciation.
Mr.. TruesdelFs Reasons.
Commissioner Truesdell advances a rea-
son for the PRONUNCIATION Of the order He
classes the official mail received by the
Commissioners as strictly private. and for
that reason claims 1T should not be pub
lished. The Commissioners, MIR. Truesdell
has stated. often read in the newspapers
published accounts of matters of which
they were ignorant, and which would not
reach them through the regular. official
red-tape channels for several days SubSe-
quent to the publication. Mr.. Truesdell is
the earnest champion of the new method
and, it is understood, gives as striking
example of the iniquity of the old plan the
fact that the public received too early in
formation through the press of the inten-
ton of placing the contagious disease hos
pital at Mount Pleasant The plan was
given away before the Commissioners had
succeeded in having the contagious hos
pital actually built, and the public was
thereby warned of the intention, and the
Commissioners were thwarted in the idea
of once and for all settling vexed ques-
ton by secretly placing this hospital in
Mount Pleasant while the unsuspecting in
habitants slept. 1t is understood that the
annoyance of the Commissioners, and es-
pecially of Mr.. Trlesdell. at the premature
publication which upset the contagious hos
pital plan was the strongest of the conSid-
eraticns which induced the adoption of
this order, and was dwelt upon III the dis
cussion of the Commissioners which pre-
celel this action.

DROWNED IN THE CANAL.
Sudden Ending OF IL Life This Murn-
ing.

Jonn Jacob Frey, son of Mr. Andrew
Frey, the Georgetown contractor, was
drowned this morning in the Chesapeake
and Ohio canal at Both street. Death is
believed to have been accidental AT about
10 o'clock, as Lock Keeper Edward Tarmon
was opening the paddle Oh the lower gate
at 3O.h street, preliminary to locking
boat through, he saw Frey staggering
along the edge of the canal wall toward
him. Just as he reached a point ten feet
from the gate he stumbled over an uneveI-
ness and into the canal. Tarmon closed
the paddle as quickly as possible to pre-
vent the body from being sucked onward
and under, and then rushed for assistance.
There was no one about who could be con-
veniently reached. Catching sight of
clothes prop, the iocktender grabbed it and
ran back to the scene of the fall. Frey
was found lying motonless on the surface
of the water and was apparently alive still.
The water was then about half its usual
depth.
The pole was run into the water and the
nan told to catch hold Of it. No response
was met with. Tarmon could not get the
man to help himself, yet it is believed that
at that time he was perfectly conscious.
In all probability. though. Frey had struck
his head in falling and was then out of
his senses. few seconds later the body
of the man went down.
Tarmon ran to his lock and opened 1t to
let the water off then. While about three
feet yet remained Harry McMullen, boat
man, who had by this time come upon the
scene, procured "a rope and jumping into
the canal, tied 1t about the body of the
drowned one and had it hauled above.
The remains were then taken to Under
tsker Birch's establishment on M street to
await the action of the coroner.
Charles Fagin reports that earlier in the
morning he saw Frey. staggering along the
port also that he was intoxicated this
morning. Fer a long time he was seen

UNWARRANTED AND UNCALLED FOR.
Senator blanchard Critfcfses the Call
ing Out of Troops in New Orleans

Senator Blanchard of louisiana who is
in Washington. said today: 1.-THE action
of the United States district attorney at
New Orleans in calling for United States
troop to suppress the disorder at New Or
leans is wholly unwarranted and mcalled
for. The state of Louisiana is amply able
to maintain the peace within her own
borders. We have a capable militia of
12o0 men. well drilled and equipped If I
had any idea that the federal authorities
here would for a moment entertain the re-
quest of the district attorney at New Or
leans l would call on the Attorney Cen
eral and urge the entire ability of the state
to look after its own affairs. 1 may vet
do this, although the action of Gov Fos-
ter in declaring that federal troops are
not needed appears to cover the case The
trouble is local and temporary, and the
worst of 1t is past. 1t in no way ap-
breaches the disorder at Chicago
The shooting of the Englishman Bain
is not likely to create any international
complications. as it is clearly established
that his nationality had nothing to do with
the assault upon him. but that he was
minglinS with a crowd which was the CEN
ter of conflict. The British authorities
appear to have taken a broad and sensible
view of this fact"

CONSUL GENERAL WILLIAMS CASE.
Ncthfng Will BE known of It's Status
Until the Return OF the Ipresf,;cut

There has been a hiatus of seven days
since the cable report came from Madrid
that a cabinet council had agreed to ask
The recall of United States Consul General
Williams at Havana. Since then there has
hcen no official demand for his recall Mr..
Williams has stated in Havana that he had
not heard of the contemplated recall, and
yet the Spanish officials at Madrid have
rot denied the original report that a de-
mand for his recall had been agreed upon.
Under these circumstances Off cials inti-
mate that the return of President Cleye-
land from his hunting trip and the re-
covery of Secretary Gresham from his at
tack of grip will lead to a clearing UP of
the situation. as the absence of the two
chiefs most concerned with diplomatic af-
fairs is regarded as explanatory of the in
action covering seven days since the report
first came from Madrid. Spanish officials
here will say nothing on the subject, either
confirming or denying the report but it is
believed they would take occasion to dis
miss the report if it was entirely ground
less.

when news matter was inquired for was
because Health officer Woodward had re-
ceived from the Commissioners copy of
the order forbidding the giving out of any
news matter.
Just what news there was, if any, would
not be told by the health officer or any
of his assistants
1t was learned, however. that the small

Woodward was willing to admit that there
was one new case last night. The victim
was sent to the hospital, the removal being
made at night. when pedestrians might
not see the yellow flag on the wagon and
know what was going on. 1t Is likely that
a danger flag has zen hoisted at, the house
from which this partic uIar patient was
taken.
The Information in this case was for
warded to the Commissioners, to be given
out by DR.. rindall. the secretary. if the
Commissioners think the public is entitled
to know what is going On in this direction,
and at that time in the future when, after
due deliberation in Il star-chamber session
to consider the matter. they determine that
the information can safely be disclosed.
The New Case.
Late .his afternoon the Commissioners
spent some time discussing the new small
poX outbreak and whether or not the pub
lie mind was in a strong enough condition
to be safely trusted with the distressing
news. Then the papers We're informed that
they might announce that another case of
Variolold had been reported. The sufferer
is Charles II. Phe3rSon, barber who re-

F"rmosm Report Credible.

The cable report that a Japanese squad
ron of sixteen warships had descended on
the Island of Formosa is believed at the
opening of a spring campaign in warmer
southern lahtudes. Mr.. Matsui, first secre-
tary of legation. says that as he was about
to leave Yokohama few weeks ago one
OF his friends, IL military officer received
orders to prepare to go to the front, but
was notified not to provide warm clothing
such as the soldiers thus far have needed
In the campaigns in northern China.
From this and other circumstances it is
believed Formosa. which is the warmest
possession of China. will be the scene of
spring campaign. at least until the treaty
OF peace is actually signed.
The understanding on terms of peace al
ready reached contsnplates the oeding of
ForTosa to Japan but the latter country
evidently believes that possession of the
Island viii doubly assure the execution of
the agreement.

Chinese ENJOYS were sent out some month ms

most, and their intriguas are beginning to
hnd expression in the cable reports But
within the last few weeks the war clement
has beea displacel and LII Huns, Chang has
been restored to power and made peace en-
voy. This has been followed by such an

A TIMELY REMINDER.

Each season forces upon our con-
sideration its own peculiar perils to
health. The advent of fall finds
many reduced in strength and vigor,
poorly prepared to continue the bus
mess of life. The stomach and bow
els, the greatest highway animal
economy, is especially liable to dis
order in the fall. The nervous sys-
tenn has also suffered i'll the struggle.
Typhoid fever andmalaria in partic-
uIar find in the fall that combina-
ton of earth, air and water that
mark this season as especially dan
gerous. The falling leaves, the de-
caying vegetables contribute their
share of contamination. Hoods Sar-
furnishes most valuable
safeguard at these important points,
and should be used in the fall before
serious sickness has laip you low.
