MEETING OF coBDEN CLUB.

London, Nov. 24.-The annual meet
ing OF the Golden Club took place this
afternoon, Lord Farrar OF Abingdon,
presided.
The committee report for 1S95-'96 was
read. 1t speaks of the tenacity Of the
conservatives in the direction of protec-
ton and the need Of increased zeal upon
the part OF the Cobdenites.
Continuing, the report quotes Canadian
and other Colonial statesmen against
the plan Of Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, the
Secretary Of State for the Colonies for
the establishment of an imperial Zollve-
rein and denounces the cattle bill Of the
last session, as q measure of protection.
It regards the Canadian election as most
encouraging to free traders, and express
ed the hope that the circumstances under
which the election was fought in the
United States will avert injury to inter
national trade, which might otherwise
be expected from the election Of McKin-
ley
There were only thirty-fye members
of the club present, including Fisher I'm
win, Shaw-Lefvre, Sir Wilfred Lawson
and Sir Henry Roscoe.
Lord Farrar reviewed at length the re-
lations of Great Britain with the other
powers in regard to free trade and
said: 1.-THE most important event Of the
year is McKinley's election. He was the
man the Cobdenites thought the worst
that could be selected until Bryan was
nominated, and we do not disguise our
delight at McI<inley's election. We shall
await his action regarding protection"
In the course OF his remarks, Lord
Playfair said: when / arrived in Amer
lea in August last, the mills were all
closed, and when / left they were all
running and every man was employed. /
talked with many men who claim that
the Wilson tariff is good enough. They
said they did not desire to change the
thought that return to high protection
was not likely, because Mckinley was
elected by all parties"

BRILLIANT RAILROAD SCHEME

Louisville, Ky, Nov. PA smashing
blow to old traditions was delivered to-
day by the Louisville and Nashville rail
road and the PlantNsystem 1t came in the
form of an order for changes to COM
mence tomorrow which meant the up-
setting of existing passenger traffic regu-
lations and methods clear across the Uni
ted States from the Southeast Board TO
the gtcat Lakes and the Missouri River.
The net result is something never before
accomplished or even attempted in the
railway service. One of the central
ideas is to put ST. Louis and Chicago
within less than 4S hours Of Tampa, Fla.
Instructions are that commencing to-
morrow the Louisville and Nashville will
inaugurate a new through sleeping-car
line with the latest yestibule buffet
coaches to run via Nashville, Montgom-
cry, Thomasyille, Gainesville, Ocala,
Leesburg and Lakeland, reaching Tam
pa at p. IN. Commencing tomorrow
Also magnificently equipped through
sleeping cars are to be operated between
st. Louis and Tampa, and Port Tampa,
by the Louisville and Nashville and
Plant system, the route being via Nash
vile, Montgomery, and the West Coast
short line. The effect of the new deal
touching such a vast range Of territory
and so many and varied interests is being
eagerly watched.

ELECTRIC WIRE INSPECTOR.
Movement to Have One for ST. Paul
4s Revived.

The subcommittee of the assembly
committee on streets appointed to con-
slider the ordinance making. 1t the duty
OF the building inspectors department
to inspect the electric wiring upon all
buildings, held a brief conference yes
terday with Col. Il. C. Shandrew and
E.. E.. Hughson, representing the I'M
derWriters who are urging the city to
provide for the inspection Of electric
wiring. AsSenblynlen Craig and
Rearden constitute the subcommittee.
The ordinance. which was passed by
the old board of aldermen early last
spring, has been hung up in the as
sembly committee ever since. 1t makes
the building inspector responsible for
the inspection of electric wiring but
specially prohibits the hiring of any
additional assistants or the paying of
any additional compensation. The in
surance men said that 1t was imnla-
terial to them whether the work was
done under the supervision of the
building inspector or the chief engineer
of the fire department. They assured
the Subcommittee that the inspector.
whoever might be appointed, must be
an expert in that particular line Of
work, No ordinary electrician would
be competent Mr.. Hughson called att
tention to the large number Of build
ings that are effectively wired and
the necessity Oh ISIilONlIlS cIIlu dNOlo-
ing the danger from fire that now
threatens them
The subcommittee will probably
make a favorable report on the reso-
luton, and the matter will ultimately
be submitted to the conference COM
mittee in December when it meets to
fix the tax estimate for 1897, with re-
quest that the 1896 estimate for the
building inspectors department which
amounts to only $500 be raised suf-
ficiently to permit Of the appointment
of an inspector of electric wiring.
