A JOINT PRODUCTION.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-What-
ever Pacific railroad bill is presented to
the house, probably will be the joint
production Of the house and senate
committees. The subcommittee OF
five appointed by Chairman Powers, is
waiting for the senate committee to
select a similar body to meet it before
it begins work and it is expected that
Joint conferences will be held IN
week. 1t is understood that Speaker
Reed will not select a successor to Mr..
Boatner. of Louisiana, on the commit
tee for several reasons.
Mr.. Boatner, who was unseated last
week, confidently predicts that he will
he reelected at the special election to
be held within the month and will
again take his seat in the house and
resume his committee work. A mem
Der who had not given particular at
tention to the question would be at
disadvantage to join the committee at
this time because there have been
MANY hearings and committee de-
cisions which he would have missed
ard which it would be somewhat es-
sential to complete understanding of
the legislation In the last congress
Mr.. Boatner led the opposition to the
funding bill and his views are I'M
changed so that the California delega-
ton which is working for foreclosure,
is anxious for his retention on the COM
mittee.

(Snecial to The Herald.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The Her
aid correspondent made careful in
curry today as to the present status
and probable fate of the Salt Lake pub
lie building.
Senator Brown is not only author
of the bill in the senate, but he also
stands as sponsor to it in the house.
He said to The Herald correspondent
tonight:
1.-The house subcommittee has rec
commended $3.50, 900. My bill. pending in
the senate, provides for 100000, and 1
am confident it Will pass the senate
just as 1 intended it should. 1 do not
know what will be the fate of the bill
in the house, but if it goes through
that body in its present shape, I will
have it amended in the senate by in
creasing it to $500,0OO'
1t may be said, however, that there
is little or no chance that the bill will
pass the house at this session. 1t seems
to be the understanding that Speaker
Reed has instructed his lieutenant, Mr..
Milliken (also of Maine), chairman of
the public buildings committee, that
no money shall be appropriated for
public buildings. The subcommittee
has reported in favor of various build
ings, but this is a. mere exchange Of
courtesies by members of the committee
and it is the general understanding
that very few, if any, bills will be
taken I'D in the house of representa-
tives at this session. Mr.. Reed is vain
~ endeavoring to make reputation
for economy in appropriations, and he
is straining every nerve to do so. But
at the next session, when his presi-
Dental ambition will have been blast
ed. he may agree to let some of these
bills pass. 1t all rests with Reed. He
is complete autocrat in the house,
and all members recognize him as such
The chances for the passage of the Salt
Lake bill at this session are not en-
couraging.

Philadelphia INDUCES in the Luxury
of Big Blaze.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March %
Chestnut street west of Fifteenth was
visited by a destructive fire, which
broke out about o'clock in the six
story building of the Thackera Manu-
featuring company, makers and dealers
in fancy gas fixtures and candelabra.
at 1524-26 Chestnut street. The firm
employs about 200 hands, who were at
work at the time The fire was not
discovered until it had eaten its way
from the front cellar through the first
floor. Before the engines arrived the
entire front part of the building was
on fire. Meanwhile a majority of the
workmen made their escape. About a
dozen or more, however, were hemmed
in and had to be taken from the win
dows
The building is owned by William
Weightman and is valued at 100000,
fully insured. The rear part was but
slightly damaged. The loss on the
building is about S150,000. The Thack-
era company's stock, machinery and
patterns were valued at about $3.50. 600.
These are total loss, but are protec-
ted by an insurance of about 100000.
Sharpless & Watts, makers of rIes and
mosaics. in the Baker building ad-
joining, lost about $4,000, principally
by water.

The Three Dry Docks.

WASHINGTON March 23.-The pro-
vision in the naval appropriation bill
for three dry docks to be built at AL
giers La. Mare Island, Cal, and Ports
mouth, y. H, was reconsidered today
by the naval affairs committee of the
house.
A motion to drop these projects for
time was made and carried by a de-
cisive vote of to 4. The reason for
this step is mainly found in the condi-
ton of the treasury. which the Repub-
licans believe does not justify the ex-
penditures at this time
1t was also decided to have one of
the four new battleships built on the
Pacific coast, and one of the torpedos,
another of the fifteen to be constructed
on the gulf of Mexico ard another on the
Mississippi river. The -sual provision
Will be made. however, that the cost
shall not be excessive and in case it is
the president may have these vessels
constructed elsewhere than at the
points named. The five larger torpedo
boats it was decided must attain a
speed of twenty-five knots am hour,
while the others must be of the great
est speed possible, no limit being fixed.
The committee has accepted an invi-
tation to witness the launching of the
Iowa at Philadelphia next Saturday.

FiIibusterer,s Troubles.

TAMPA, Fla. March 23-Letters
were received today from persons con-
nected with the Coliazo expedition
stating that ON the 18th inst while in
sight of the Matanzas shore, three
Spanish warships, viz: The Intanta
Isabella, Marquis de la Enceneda and
the Contra Maestro, were sighted. The
expedition drew off from the land TO
avoid the warships. After dark one
Of the latter proceeded along the coast
scrutinizing the expedition with search
lights. The steamer bearing l5he eX-
petition slipped in just behind her and
unloaded. 1t was attacked at daylight
by a small Spanish force and driven
away but another band of insurgents,
hearing the firing. came to the rescue
and the small quantity of arms cap
tured by the Spanish were recovered
Another letter from a Spanish source
gives a report of the engagement at
Candelaria on the 18th inst, when
Maceo and Quintin Bandera with 5000
men attacked Colonel Francis. The
Spanish loss, the letter says, was 300
soldiers, four captains and eight lieu
tenants. Francis surrendered, giving
up all his arms and ammunition. This,
it is said. incensed General Weyler
who announced that Francis would re-
turn to Spain on the next steamer.

COTTON CULTURE.
Views of a Prominent Dealer on the
Coming Crop.

Views of n Prominent Dealef On int
Coming Crop.
NEW YORK, March 23.-Jerome Hill
of ST Louis. one of the best known cot
ton dealers in the south, is in this
city. He is the owner of several plan
tations and has made cotton a life
study. As a schedule for an estimate OF
the probable extent of the next Amerl-
can crop. Mr.. Hill said last night: you
might as well ask me how high the
high water mark of the MISSISSIPPI
river will be this spring. My guess
however. is that there will be an IN
crease of about 10 per cent IN the
nIanting and that under average condl-
tions there should be about 100000
bales raised in the United States. some
talk about 100000 bales, but there
never has been more than 9,0O0.000
taken from the fields.
"But of more interest to cotton
growers now, as ] view it, than the
probable size of the next crop, or the
extent to which planters will be IN
fiuenced in this years planting by the
ruinously low prices at which last
years crop was marketed by them.
is the matter of economical methods in
handling cotton.
New York instead of Liverpool,
ought to be the great cotton market
of the world. With the revolution in
the methods of handling cotton which
the round bale would bring there could
be a change of rules in the cotton
exchanges of New York and New Or
leans and the vast quantity of low
grade cotton which now operates to de-
press prices to producers would be
largely eliminated.
"I'll show you how it works now.
There is at present some twenty two
grades of cotton.
Under the rules of the New York
and New Orleans cotton exchanges a
contract for future delivery is on a
basis of middling, but footnote says

WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 2S.-
The senate committee on foreign rela-
tons today had Secretary Olney before
it and asked him questions concerning
the treaty for the commission to hear
and adjust the claims of British sealers
against the United States for seizures
in Bering sea- The committee some
time ago amended the treaty in some
minor particulars and reported III to
the senate. 1t had not been referred
back to the committee. but it is prob
able that such request VIII be made
when the senate is next in executive
session, in order that changes sug-
gested by Secretary Olney and mem
bers OF the committee may be made.
Although there are not now pending
ana claims Of American sealers against
Great Britain, the amended treaty
will provide that if there are any such.
they may be considered by the COM
mission. Other foreign matters were
no discussed with Mr.. Olney, al
though it was supposed at first that his
visi thad some reference to the Gu
ban situation.

jUries should fix penalties. He was not
willing to pass his judgment on this
subject. While the present attorney
general was a very distinguished law

had tried a criminal case in his life.
During the passage of this debate
the disagreement of the senate to the
conference report on the Cuban resOlu-
ti0ns was announced, but no action
was taken by the house.
Mr.. Gillet (Rep., Mass) and Mr.. Hep

bin, while Mr.. Ray (Rep.. n. W en-
dorsed it.

fixed by law. The amendment was de-
feated-10 to S.

NEW YORK, March "a dispatch
to the World from Madrid says: 1t is
an open secret that the German gov
eminent will be much pleased if Pres
fdent Cleveland sends a message to
congress regarding American losses in
consequence of the rebellion in Cuba.
Such message will not only give to
the Madrid government a long desired
opportunity to take official notice to
what has been going on of late in the
United States and Cuba, but it will
furnish a preteXt for taking the fol-
lowing steps:
First-Sending a note clearly stating
to the United States government
SPANS intention to put down the rebel
lion in Cuba exactly as America did
the rebellion in the southern states;
that is to say, without tolerating any
foreign interference even in the form
of mediation, and without taking the
slightest notice of any recognition OF
Cuban belligerency except to regard 1t
as a future reason for insisting upon
stricter regard for neutrality and the
principles of interna tional law than the
United States has manifested even
while considering the Cubans as simple
rebels against friendly power
notwithstanding a memorandum to
foreign governments, especially Euro
pean powers, setting forth that Spain
is defending a common cause of Euro
pean nations; defending theirs as well
as her own rights of colonies against
American interference and the preten-
sions of the Monroe doctrine.
Third-Claiming on the eve of gen
eral election the policy OF the Canovas
cabinet has been vindicated, thus cast
ing the onus of a conflict in the United
States, as Senior Canovas, since March
1885, has done everything in his power
to avert rupture of cordial relations
BETWEEN Spain and the United States.

MRS. DAvIDsoN's TRIAL.
The Alleged Female Extortionfst
Faces n Jury.

Faces Jury.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March %
The trial OF Mrs. Mary A. Davidson,
charged with having extorted $500 from
Rev. C. o. Brown. was begun in the
superior court today. The attorney
for the defense moved for a habeas
corpus on the ground that Miss Matte
Overman and Mrs. Tunnel, necessary
witnesses to the defense, were absent,
one in Mexico and the other near the
Mexican border. Counsel said ne in
tended to prove by these witnesses
that a conspiracy was formed between
DR.. Brown, Matte Overman and Mrs.
Tunnel to falsely accuse and convict
Mrs. Davidson Of blackmail. He added
that the absent witnesses were being
supplied with money by DR.. Brown to
absent themselves from the city at
this time. All these statements were
supported by affidavits of Mrs David
son afterwards filed.
The court denied the motion for
continuance, stating that the absent
witnesses were beyond his jurisdiction
and would not probably come within
his jurisdiction. The defendant excep-
ted to the decision and the rest of
the day was occupied with the at
tempt to secure a jury. The district
attorney is assisted in the prosecution
by two criminal lawyers.

FEDERATION OF LABOR.
Executive Committee Begins Its Con-
ference at Cincinnati.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 23-The
executive committee of the National Fed
GRAFTON of Labor began it's conference in
this city today. Those present were
President Gompers, Secretary August Nc
Craith, John B. Lennon, treasurer; z. J.
Mcguire of Philadelphia, first Vice-presi-
den; James Duncan of Baltimore. sec
ond vice-president; James O'Connell of
Chicago, third vice-president and N NJ.
Garland, Pittsburg, fourth vice-president.
The conference lasted until a late hour
this evening. and was devoted chiefly to
a decision as to the best means to bring
about an eight hour day. 1t was the
sentiment that d concerted effort should
be made and in order TO devise ways and
means the matter was referred to a sub
committee composed of Messrs- Mcguire,
Lennon and OConnell.
There are three national organizations
the carpenters, iron workers and horse
shoers-who have volunteered to do any
thing that the council may order to bring
about the desired result. IL was given
out by Secretary McCraith that the Car
penter's National union will probably be
selected to make the test, and when
questioned he said that it was not only
possible but probable that the council
will order a strike Of this union through
out the country in order to bring about
the desired result.
The secretary's report submitted today
shows a marked increase in the feder-
atoms finances and membership, two
charters had been issued 50 far this year
to one during the same time last year.
