HEARING ON THE TARIFF. 41sz
An Infant Industry Turns Up To Ask
For Help.

Washington, Dec o9.-The second
day of the tariff hearings before
the committee OH ways and means
Of the House of Representatives opened
with the discussion of schedule l, "cot-
ton manufactures - The first section OF
the schedule relates to tho duty on cot
ton thrsad and carded yarns. and on
warp or warp yarn.
B. T. Stoner of Wrightville. Pa, man
ufacturer Of embroidery goods, lace nnI.
tains, etc., requested protection for an
"infant industry His company, he
snid, started under the Mckinley law,
which gave hardly sufficient protection.
u Under the present tariff, the company
had just managed to live. He suggested
specific rate to offset the cost OF raw
material and advalorem duty to cover
the differences in the cost of labor.
w. II. Chapman of East Hampton.
Mass, maker of silk buttons, etc., said
he did not desire any change in the pres
emit law as long as the articles he was in
terested In remained in the silk and
wooden schedules If any changes were
made, he desired the benefit of whatever
they might be.
W. H. Bilyeu OF the Philadelphia KNIT
ing Company desired the rate on silk
the Mckinley law.
e. G. Hovey, representing the textile
industries, spoke on advalorem and
specific duties. He asked in prepare
ton of the new bill that the committee
do what it could to frame law which
would prevent differentiation and
frauds on revenue.
Every specific duty made, he said, was
a step in the right direction He recog-
nized the TACT that it was almost an inn
possibility to make all duties specific, but
ugred the committee in preparation OF
various clauses to CLOSE every loop hole
possible, by which frauds could creep in.
So long as ''stool pigeon" la per-
mitted to stand as an importer, he said,
so long will the United States be de-

VENEZUELA READY TO SIGN.
The Terms of the Treaty Are Acceptable
to South American Republic.

| Washington, Decemher 90. There is
peatedIy made in the dispatches Of tie
United Associated Press. that the Vene-
zuean arbitration treaty 10 not only ac-
ceptable to President Crespo and his con
stitutioual advisors, but that iu Will be
equally acceptable to the Venezuelan
Consress when it convenes in February
next. The weight of public opinion is
all in favor Of the treaty. and ir has en-
ccuntered but little opposition from lead
ing Venezuelans.
Tie objection that Venezuela will
have no voice in selecting the umpires to
represent the republic is met by the
counter argument that Venezuela origi-
nally asked the United States more than
two years ago to use its good offices with
England to secure a treaty Whereby the
territory in dispute might be submitted
to tribunal of arbitration. The United
States did this and the protocol agreed
upon by Secretary Olnay and Lord Sails
bury gives this country the right to be
the umpire5 for Venezuela.
1t is pointed out, therefore, that it
would not be only bad taste, but gross
breach of international proprlety II, after
the United States had, at the risk of war
with Great Britain succeeded in securing
such treaty, Venezuela should reject it
because it was not in every way essential
aud agreeable to her. When the protocol
is signed by Sir Julian Pannoefote and
Senior Andrans, a formal treaty, EN- brac-
ing all that is material in the protocol,
together with the details which it was
necessary to insert in it, will be formally
signed and this will be submitted to the
Venezuelan Congress and the British
government for ratification. With the
signing of the protocol diplomatic rela-
tiOns between Venezuela and Great
Britain will be again resumed.

STATUS OF THE CUBAN QUESTION
Spain Not Averse to Granting Reform If
1t Can BE Done.

Washington, Dec. 29.-At the state de-
partmentit is declared that there has
been no substantial alteration whatever
in the international aspect of the Cuban
question since President Cleveland wrote
his annual message.
1t is explained that while for domestic
reasons the present Spanish cabinet
could not take what would be to it a
suicidal step of putting down in black
and white a complete acceptance of the
suggested, ,nediauon between sovereign
power and her crown colony, there has
been at least a tacit understanding be-
tween Secretary Olney and the Spanish,
and the only matter left unsettled was
the acceptance of the suggestion by the
insurgents.
In this connection it said that Presi-
dent Cleveland in speaking of the insur-
gents, does not refer to the Junta in this
country, which would be satisfied with
no compromise, but to the actual combat
ants under Gomez and other leaders, at
the time including Maceo, who according
to the information of the state depart
ment, were at that time not averse to
putting an end to hostilities if the re-
forms promised by Spain were put into
operation with the tacit guarantee of the
United States and they with their follow
ers were granted amnesty.
The greatest difficulty has been and
now is for the United States ito find a
way not Objectionable to SPAIN in ac-
complishing this part of the arrange
ment.
1t is believed the death of Maceo may
have simplified the problem.

Mabel is Wen and Happy.

Biddeford, Dscem Der 20. - Mabel
Hazelton, the 81 years old Cape Por-
poise girl who disappeared SO suddenly
six weeks ago, has at last been heard
from.
Yesterday Mrs. William Manual in
whose family Mabel lived until her dis
appearance, received this letter from
Mrs. Nellie Presby of Manchester, N.
H., sister OF the missing girl;
Manchester, N. H., Dec. 20.
My Dear Mrs. Manuel:-I heard fro m
dear Mabel today. She writes that she
is alive, well and happy. Where she is
stopping she did not say, nor did she
give any reason for running away. AS
soon as I learn where she is 1 will notify
you. Nellie Presby.
1t is said that the girl left letter
which is now in the possession of Miss
Eta Benson, in which she gives her
reasons for running away that would be
very interesting reading if it could be
made public.
The tidings that the girl is all right
bears out the general belief of the Ken
nebunkport people. which was that she
had not found things as pleasant as they
might have been at her old home and
had been DESTROYS of leaving for some
time and that upon arriving at age had
taken unceremonious leave with the
hope of finding more satisfactory sur
roundings.
