toward securing revision of the tarff
duties on manufactured articles OF iron
and other metals or a return To the Me
Kiniey law. were taken by a number of
TIE members OF the New York Metal EN-
change today. The tariff question was
taken up by the exchange immediately
after the election Of Mr. Mckinley be-
came an assured fact, and an informal
meeting OF the representatives Of the va
rious branches or the metal trade was
called.
This took place today in the offices of
Mr.. II. a. Kent, the Eastern agent of the
Illinois Steel Company. The meeting WAS
in session nearly two hours and conl-

quests for IA higher tariff ,t.J ,a
MI. Edward Parse. an Importer of fineI
grades OF manufactured steel, said, how
ever, that while he was not particular
whether the tariff be high or low, mt
thought tnat the country should have al
established policy on the tariff question
The trade suffered more from the dis
turbances caused, by frequent changes thar
from any other reason.
He advocated the appointment OF a tariff
comn.ission-experts whom all snch
matters should be referred. and with such
powers would enable them to prevent
changes unlesss tit was certain that the
country would be heneiited. His idea was
indorsed. -.. II ss-.

ECONOMY, SAYS CANNON.
Appropriations Should He Held
Down to Bottom Figures.

The subcommittee of the House Com
mttee on Appropriations in charge of the
Legislative, executive, and judicial bill,
met yesterday at the Capitol To work upon
the measure in advanced the re reaSsembling
of Congress.
They had before them the Civil Service
Commissioners, the new Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, w. :. Foreman of Illinois,
and several chiefs of the Treasury De-
partment, who set forth the needs of
their several bureaus. The policy of the
committee in regard to appropriations was
outlined by Hon. j. q. Cannon, chairman,
who said Ia a Times reporter:
The estimates for the District of Co
luIHbia amount TO nearly SS.500,0 0,00O-
one-half of which, chargeable against the
District revenues, would be, / observe,
more than SSoO,O00 in excess of the Dis
trict revenues.
The subcommittee in charge of this bill,
owing o the necessary absence of the chair
man, Mr.. Grout, on special work in the in
vestigatiOn ofthc National Soldiers Homes,
will hardly take up their work before the
early part of neSt week. OF course it will
devolve upon them to eetthe estimates sub
mitted by the Commissio oncrs compressed
within the estimated revenues.
''As published recently, the estimates
for fortifications amount tn something more
than fifteen millions. At the last session
of Congress a new and important departure
was made with reference TO the manner
of appI opriaffng for Qualifications. by Civ
ing to the Secretary of War authority to
enter into contracts for material and labor
in constructing gun and mortar batteries
at the important rortS on our sea coast, to
the extent of So. 100000. Just what the
department has done in the way of adj
ministration under this authority has not
yet been developed.
The committee will probably be en-
| abied to complete the preparation of the
| pension appropriation bill and report it
| to the House on the first or second day
| of the coming session; and they expect
| to have the legislative bill in condition
| TO report by the middle or last of the
| first week The subcommittee on the
| pension bill will meet Thursday morning
| next
What will be the policy of the COM
| mittee touching recommendations of ap-
| preparations at this session." was asked.
The committee, Mr.. Cannon answered,
"will no doubt recommend appropriations
| for an efficient public service. The re-
| ceipts of the government, however, are
| less than the expenditures, and this.le-
| ficit has been and is being made UP by
| borrowing money at interest.
As long as this situation continues the
| appropriations and expenditures should
| be held down rigidly to the smallest ag
greCate compatible with the efficiency
| of the public service. No new expenditures
| ought TO be, and in my Judgment none
| will he, authorized that are not absolutely
| indispensable for the public safety and the
| preservation of the national honor Ii
| other words, no new expenditures will b,
| authorized while this condition exists
| however desirable they ma y be or would bt

New York, Nov 5. 1896
'.Editor-in-chef La Patre: Permit me,
through the medium of La Patrie, to
thank the generous press of France for
its intercesSion in my favor, and to eX-
press at the same time my deep sentiment
Of gratitude to the government and people
of your magnificent country for the kind
treatment OF which l was the recipient
during my imprisonment at Boulogne.
ITO you personally, sir, whom l had
the pleasure of knowing before that event,
! send my warmeSt expressions of ever
lasting friendship. The accident, of
which I was the victim for some weeks
has at least contributed to increase the
hope cherished in Irish hearts to see in
the future the triumph of their struggle
for independence. Ny countrymen have
been able to prove by this event the sup
port given us by the French press
Before terminating my letter permit
me to acquaint you with the sentiments
that at present animate ali Irish hearts,
They all wish most ardently that the
contemplated union between France and
Russia for the sake of oppressed humanity
should have the most glorious results
They all wish that when Ireland has taken
that place among the nations which is hers
by right, that her children will become the
most valiant champions of the sacred cause
of progress. They hope, too, that when
the happy hour of their deliverance comes
that chivalrous France will remember
Ireland, whose sons have often shed their
blood in battle for your country"
Receive dear Mr.. Millevoye, my sincere
| friendship PATRICK. p. lyman"

NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York, August 4. The failure OF
Moore Bros, of Chicago, was a complete
surprise to Wall Street and was at first
assumed To include the collapse of the
Diamond Match Company and the New
York Biscuit Company, which had been
promoted by the firm. The sensational
character of the failure and the unusual
step taken of the closing the Chicago
stock exchange pending Il readjustment
led the financial community at large to
expect the most startling disclosures 1t
was feared that the New York city banks
might be involved as holders of collaterals
ana that also wholesale liquidation in the
grangcrs and other shares might result.
Accordingly there wasa rush to sell at the
sound of the gong and during the first
fifteen minutes the market was democrat
lied under liquidation, bear offerings and
sales for foreign account. The situation
was aggravated by the eXpcctat ions of a
sharp advance in rates for money and
commercial paper. The closing was dull.
