PLANS OF SILVER MEN.
Confident That They Have Two thirds
of the Delegates.
Closely Watching Gold Combination.
Permanent Chairman of Silver
Proclfvitfes Wanted.

CHICAGO, July 3.-The committee of
five appointed on behalf of the silver
| delegates to confer with the executive
committee of the Democratic National
committee made it's report to the silver
delegates at a meeting at the Sherman
House. The report was made by Sen
ator Jones as chairman. The committee
WAS continued in existence by an unan-
imous vote. In presenting the report
Senator Jones stated that the commit
tee was courteously received, and ex-
pressed the opinion that the executive
committee was disposed to deal fairly
with the silverites.
Some other members were not dis
posed to take so sanguine view of the
situation, and one of them expressed
the opinion that it was the purpose of
the National committee to foist a gold
man upon the convention for tempo
rary chairman. This brought out some
very vigorous speeches, all very much
in the line and evincing a determination
whatever cost. Senator-elect Money of
Mississippi was one of the most out
spoken.
1t was informally decided to leave the
matter as the committee had reported
it, agreeing to accept any silver dele
gate Of recognized standing who might
be chosen by the National committee.
The plan of proceedings of the silver
men in case of the selection of a gold
standard advocate by the committee
was developed during the course of the
meeting. They consider that one-third
of the National committee are silver
men. In the event indicated these mem
bers will present a minority report,
naming the choice of the silver men
whereupon the controversy will be
brought to an issue upon the floor of
the convention. 1t was generally con-
ceded that under the precedents there
could be no interference with the Ma
tional committee in preparing the tenn
pOrary roll of the convention.
The silver men also discussed the
advisability of abrogating the two
thirds rule. No formal action was ta-
ken, but the preponderence of senti-
ment was SO strongly against change
that it was made perfectly certain that
it will not be attempted. This is due to
the fact that it is considered that such
course will be unnecessary. Several
members have presented figures to
show that the change will not be neces-
sary. These figures, on the face of the
returns, place the silver strength at
59S, as against 332 gold delegates; but
assurances have been received that lead
to the conclusion that the silver vote
will reach 600, and it is confidently be-
lieved that the display of SO much
strength will bring the few other votes
necessary to give the required two
thirds. These figures are independent
of contests. The States which are
counted upon to yield the increase are
Maine, Maryland, Michigan and Flo
rida

"a most formidable illustration of
the immense economic Importance of
road Improvement has been
furnished by statement made by
the office Of road inquiry into the
United States Department of Agri-
culture says the Philadelphia Record.
According to this statement the total
value of farm products in 1890 was
nearly 81, 500, COO, 900, while the cost of
haulage of the same over the common
roads was estimated at very little IN
der 1859, coo, 900. IL other words, the
agricultural industries Of the coun
try expend considerably more than
one third of the total value of the
products of the farm and forest in
transporting the same not to the con-
sumers, but only to the points of
shipment by rail or water. The cost
Of this transportation, which is
wholly borne by the farmers, &C
cording to the statement referred to,
amounts to twice the total earnings
of the railway companies from
freights upon the same class Of
merchandise.

Proposed Fish Commission.

The creation of fish commission
as provided for under a bill recently
introduced into the Virginia Legisla
ture meets with the approval of Gov
ernor O'Ferrall and the members
from the Tidewater. The Governors
idea and that of others who favor
this proposition is that the oyster in
terest and the enforcement of all
laws relating thereto should be in
trusted to men who can give their
whole attention to this important
subject. 1t is contemplated that this
commission, which is to be composed
of three members, will perform the
same duties intrusted to the board of
the Chesapeake and its tributaries.
That body is composed of the Cover
nor, auditor of public accounts and
the treasurer.
Governor O'Ferrall is an enthusi-
astic believer in the idea that Vir-
GINA oyster grounds can and ought
to be made to yield a largely in
creased revenue. If the industry is
properly managed and the right laws
enacted for it protection, he thinks
that the Commonwealth should re-
ceive within the next eight or ten
years an annual income from this
source of over two hundred thousand
dollars.

A New Tariff Bill Passed by the U. S.
House Of REPRESENTATIVES,.

The Republican members of the
House Ways and Means committee
on Thursday of last week reported
and the House of Representatives
passed tariff bill that day.
The tariff bill will go into effect
when signed by the President, if he
signs it, and remain in effect until
August 1st, 1898. when, by its pro-
visions, it's operations will cease. Its
items follow:
A duty on wool of sixty per cent.
of the Mckinley law rates.
A compensatory duty on wooden
goods of sixty per cent. of the Nc
Kinley act rates.
A duty of sixty per cent. of the
rate of 1890 on lumber, which will be
from ten to fifteen per cent. ad Yalo
rem.
An increase of twenty-five per cent.
from the Wilson German act rates
on cereal breadstufrs, dairy products
and livestock, including poultry.
A horizontal increase of fifteen per
cent from the Wilson. German rates
on all other schedules, with the pro
vision that in no case shall the duty
exceed the Mckinley rates, except
where the Wilson German rates eX-
coed those of the Mckinley law.
1t is estimated that this bill will in
crease revenues about 100000 900
annually.
The Republicans let it be known
that when they get the power, if they
do in 1896, they mean to pass a full
tariff bill and probably very much
on the Mckinley lines. Mr.. Dingley,
the chairman of the Committee on
Ways and Means, said that they
would re enact the Mckinley bill if
could.

Work Enough to. Engage The General
Assembly For Many Weeks.

The impression which has gotten
out that there is very little work fol
the members of the Legislature to dc
when they return to this city after
the holidays would appear to be en-
tirely erroneous, when one considers
the number of important measures
which are almost certain to come up
for the consideration of the General
Assembly. AS yet, with two excep
tions, no bills that have been enacted
into laws are of general Importance,
the few that have so far passed both
houses being purely of a local charac
ter, and affecting only certain coun-
ties.
The exceptions are two bills in re
gard to joiut-stock companies. one
of them provides that the number OF
directors of a joint-stock company
whose capital does not exceed Sl0,0oO
shall be three, one of these to be the
president. The other one prescriDes
the mode by which unpaid subscrip-
tions to joint-stock companies may
be recovered by said companies,
their receivers, or assignees. 1t pro
vides that all suits or motions for the
recovery of unpaid subscriptions TO
the stock of any joint company shall
be brought in the courts of common
law in the county or corporation
where the defendant resides, and
that said courts shall have exclusive
jurisdiction to determine all quess'
lions involving the validity OF such
subscriptions. 1t further provides
that in all such cases the defendant
shall be entitled to Il jury where the
amount involved exceeds $50, and
that all evidence which would be
admissible if the company were sol
vent shall be equally admissible, ano
shall have the same effect in law.

In his annual report to Governor
OFerrall for the year ended Decem-
Der 81, the commissioner of fisheries
of Virginia says: ut is an alarming
fact that all of the finer varieties of
fish are becoming less abundant
This he attributes largely to the use
of pound nets, declaring that while
in 1875 there was only one fish pound
in Virginia, the number had increased
in 1891 to GIG. These nets, he says,
extend from the capes of Virginia on
both sides of the bay to the Maryland
line. The fish are obliged to pass the
nets on their way to the spawning
grounds, and it is impossible for
enough to escape to keep up the sup
ply. This the commissioner pro-
nounces IAN outrage of growing pro-
portions" and he adds that eff the
authorities do not take hold of the
matter and make and enforce laws
for the better protection OF spawning
fish. all of our finer varieties will
soon become as scarce as terrapin."
Fishing ought to be intelligent
" controlled" but the Vir-
ginia commissioner does not hest
tate to affirm that in his State
1.-THE custom and policy are far be-
hind the times, and instead OF pro-
tecting and developing fish and game
we act like barbarlans and destroy
them.'' He, therefore, asks for legis-
lation which will provide for the re-
moyal of pound-nets and all other
forms of distinctive apparatus at the
proper season.-Baltimore Sun.
