GEN. wEYLER's TOBACCO ORDER.
Instructions Given by Secretary OIney
to Minister Taylor fin Regard 70 Ii.

to Minister Taylor I'm Regard TO IL.
With respect to Gen. weyler's prcclama-
ton forbidding the expectation of leaf to-
baoco from Cuba, Secretary Olrey has in
strCcted Minister Taylor to make repre-
sentations to the Spanish court concerning
the order al 1t affects the United States.
He has been Instructed especially to as
certain whether Gen. Weyler's order vas
to apply to tobacco in Cuba owned by
American citizens.
The merchants of Tampa, Fla. have
100000 worth of tobacco on the island
which they have bought and paid for, and
1t is estimated that an equal amount is
owned In other parts of Florida. IL is pre-
sumed to be the intention Of the Secretary
of State to protest against the application
OF the order to tobacco lhus situated, If to
go 40 further. He has assured Senator
used to protect the interests of the Florida
manufacturers.
1t is expected that other governments
may protest against the enforcement OF
the order. The merchants of Germany are
interested to about the same extent as
Italy are also concerned.
1t is probable that there will be a pro-
test against the ten days time given by
Gen. Weyler. The Tampa collector says
that the time allowed, owing to the dry
ness of the weather, would be of little help
given.
Figures furnished by the Treasury De-
partmert show that the customs duties
collected on account of tobacco shipments
from Cuba TO Florida amount to about a
million dollars annually. This is OF
as internal revenue tax on cigars manu-
featured from this tobacco.

NO TARIFF LEGISLATION.
The senate Finance Committee Fails
to Agree Upon Any Plan.

to Agree Upon Any Plan.
The Senate committee on finance was
called together in special session yesterday
at the instarce of Senator Sherman to con-
slider whether II was not possible even yet
to formulate some bill to increase the rev.
enues of the 60 vernment Upon which the
democrats and republicans could agree,
and thus insure it's passage during the
present session. The meeting was a very
brief one, and 1t Immediately became APP
parent that there was TO possibility OF
reaching a common understanding. The
suggestion made the day before 10y senator
German for a tax on tea ana coffee did not
prove acceptable to sufficient number OF
the committee, and was dismissed with
very brief consideration.
The meeting did not continue TO exceed
twenty minutes time. Senator Sherman
explained briefly his purpose in asking that
the committee be brought together, saying
that he considered Ii imperative upon Con-
gress to take some action to preserve the
public credit at the present session, and
that the best way to accomplish that end
was to amend the tariff law. He referred
to Mr.. Germans suggestion for a duty on
tea and coffee, and suggested that pro-
visions for such a tax might be incor-
porated In a somewhat general revenue
bill-one which would insure sufficient In
come to conduct the affairs of the govern
ment with. He thought q duty On wool
might be included.
Other Senators responded that IL any
tariff legislation was attempted they would
have suggestions of their own 20 offer.
The revival of the Dinglsy bill and spe-
cific duty on sugar were among the sug-
gestions made. 1nCeed, suggestions came So
rapidly that the meeting broke up i'm short
order, a majority az least being convinced
that any effort at tariff Legislation during
this session would be a complete waste OK
time.

Another Venezuelan Commission.

Really the Presidents committee, highly
escapes suffering by compa rison to
the Chamber of Commerce affair." which
actually inspires awe with its imposing
names, its representation of wealth and
influence, its grasp upon the great business
enterprises OF the world, its knowledge
of the value and impulse OF states.
That such a commission will have fully
as great respect and consideration at the
hands OF Br!tain as Will the Presidents
high court, is fOrcshadowed by London
comment on the chambers resolutio ion.
1t would he a fine bit of irony if the great
commercial body OF the city OF london
should cooperate with the New York
body with some sort OF recognition from
the British cabinet.
1t will be deeply interesting to watch
the proceedings OF this commission. Such
men as those who. compose it 10 not
thoughtlessly engage in the work. They
have great purpose in view and 1t can
be nothing else than to counteract the
be!ligerent feeling which was engenicred
by President Cleveland's manner OF tackling
the question, and make otherwise possible
war impossible by blazing the way for n
friendly composition of the dispute. Let
them get 10 work at once, and more power
to them .Jo

SHADOwLAND.

In shadow owland q country lies,
With noiseless streams and purple skies;
The starshine glints through its messy
giadcs,
And paies the dust of its emerald shades
Deep in the shadow memory stands,
A somber shape. with folded hands,
With thoughtful brow and eyes that seem
Misty and grave from a mournful dream.
For a brief space she muses. there,
Then waves her magic wand in air;
1t quivers through the starry night,
A gitteriDg line of silvery light.
In swift obedience to its spell,
Frail, airy shapes float through the dell;
Empty forms her power has brought
From the mystic realms of thought.
With calm, fixed gaze, they pass along,
Pulseless and silent, q fleeing throng,
Elusive as air, they are not what they
seem,
Sad offspring of fancy-born of q dream.
Never again will heart beat to heart.
Tears fall in vain, though the scalding drops
start;
Eluding the arms outstretched to caress,
Unheeding the prayers on the lips they
have pressed,
They pass on their way pale, fleetinS
band,
And are veiied in the mists of dim Shadow
land.

We now have Venezuelan commissions
galore. Just as the body appointed by
MIR. Cleveland, by act OF Congress, Buckles
down to WORK. another appointed by act of
the New York Chamber of Commerce
dawns into existence as the sun appears in
all its glory above some mountain top.
The New York committee was appointed
by President Orr, under a resolution at
Il meeting held Thursday, and therefore
was not compelled to delay so long as
President Cleveland was on account OF in
ability 10 lind persons willing to serve.
This commission may not have the execu-
tive stamp upon II like the Cleveland COM
mission, but there is a strong possibility
that it Will command almost as widespread
attention. Among the fifteen gentlemen
selected are: Abram =. Hewitt, Carl Schurz
John Bgelow, Oscar S. Straus, Chaurccy
NJ. Depew. August Belmont, Seth Low,
william E. Dodge, and Morris X. Jcssup,
and the others are hardly less notable
The Cleveland committee has but one MEM
ber who is known abroad. In the New
York committee there are at least six
names us famed beyond the ocean as that
of President Cleveland's own. while the
