notable receptions ever given to pub
lie official in this city was that accord
ed John G. Carlisle, secretary of the
treasury, by the Manhattan club last

secretary could hardly have been gath
cred together. Bankers, merchants,
presidents of corporations, lawyers,
politicians and men of affairs We'd with
each other to do honor to the distin-
guished guest. There was an immense
round of applause as the secretary en-
tered the rooms, and he was at once
conducted to the east room, where the
reception was held. This continued
until nearly 1880 o'clock, when Presi-
dent Coudert, linking arms with the
secretary, went to the dining room,

BICYCLES AS BAGGAGE.
Hearing the Bill To Compel Railroad
Companies to Garry Them Free.

Albany, Feb. 26.-One of the inter-
held last evening before the railroad
committee of the assembly upon the
Armstrong bill compelling railroad
companies to carry bicycles as baggage.
The hearing was opened by the opposi'
tion. Lewis E. Carr, representing the
Delaware & Hudson Canal company's
railroad, claimed that the bill was mani
festly unjust. Bicycles were not bag
gage but were vehicles. The wheelmen
claimed rather unreasonably that their
wheels were vehicles when they could
ride them upon good roads When,
however, they came across road over
which they could not tide they flew to
the railroads and claimed that the
wheels were baggage. Legitimate
baggage consisted not of a machine,
but of wearing apparel-of the neces-
stiles of life. AS a representative of
the Long Island railroad, w. j. Kelly
protested against the favora BILE report
by the committee. His road had, when
bicycle riding first came into vogue,
agreed to carry the wheels free. The
scheme had, however. soon to be aban-
doned. 1t had been discovered that the
road had in one year carried 80, 173.
The argument in behalf of the bill was
opened by Assemblyman Armstrong.
The bicycle was not now recognized as
a fitting institution. The wheel had
come to stay. 1t had become now one
of the very necessities of life He was
a devotee of the wheel and in his every
day life he used the wheel continually.
The railroads had imposed upon the
riders of the wheel, and it was about
time something was done to prove that
the railroads could not control with
out opposition

Philadelphia, Feb. 26.-Representa-
tives of the six bituminous coal dis
tricts composing the new tide water
association, known as the Bituminous
Coal Trade association, met here yes
terday afternoon in the Office of the
Berwind- White Coal Mining company
and, with one exception. signed the
new pooling agreement regulating the
production of the various districts and
the tide water prices. The districts
and companies composing the associa-
tion are as follows: No. 1, Clea"field
and other adjacent mines shipping b.
the Pennsylvania railroad; No. ,, Cum
berland, Meyersdale and all shippers by
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad; No. 3,
Norfolk & Western railroad (Pocahon-
tas); No. 4, Chesapeake & Ohio railroad;
No. 5, Beech Creek & Reynoldsville re-
gions; No 6, West Virginia Central
railroa1. T. K. Stuart, representing
the Cumberland district, was the one
who refused to sign the new agree
ment. 1t is expected that he will soon
join the others and unanimous action
will be taken in all the districts. In
substance the new agreement is as fol-
lows: The pooling of all tonnage to be
equitably divided monthly with a
forfeit of fifty cents a ton for
over shipments or cutting of prices.
No coal is to be sold at a delivered price
nor is any shipper to guarantee rate
of vessel freights for future delivery.
The percentage of tonnage allotted to
each road or district is based upon the
average shipments made by each dur
ing the past three years. In the Clear
field district there are many small
operators To provide for these and
to prevent outsiders from securing this
coal and underselling the market a
central purchasing company has been
organized for the purpose of buying
the coal of the small operators.

rs THIS PLAIN ENOUGH !?

The London Financial News
printed the following editorial on
the American silver question in
one Of its recent issues. 1t has a
whole lot of gospel truth in it
that it would be well for our peo-
pie to heed:
"There is a plain moral in the
remark that if the United States
would venture to cut herself adrlft
from Europe and take outright to
silver she would have all Amer
lea and Asia at her back and the
command of the markets Of both
countries. The barrier Of gold
would be more fatal than any
barrier of a custom house. The
bond of free silver would be
stronger than any bond of free
trade. There can be no doubt
about it that if the United States
were to adopt a silver basis to.
morrow British trade would be
ruined before the year was ont
Every American would be pro,
tected, not only at home, but in
every other market. OF course
the United States would suffer tC
a certain extent through having
to pay her obligations abroad in
gold, but The loss of exchang,
under this head would be a mere
drop in the bucket as compared
to the profit to be reaped from tho
markets of South America and
Asia, to say nothing of Europe
The marvel is that the United
States have not long ago seized
the opportunity. It has been q
piece of luck that it has never &C.
CURED to the Americans to SCOOP
us out of the worlds markets by
going on a silver basis, and il

1 BELIEVE IN GOLD AND SILVER

Hon. James @. Blaine, the great
republican leader and statesman,
who now sleeps in his quiet grave,
was in favor of the free coinage Of
silver and gold. While he lived
his party trusted him implicitly
aud to do his bidding was an
honor. When an argument Of
any kind came up Blaine was
left as an authority on the great
monetary question, which is now
foremost in the minds Of the
American people, he said:
~ believe gold and silver coin
to be the money Of the constitu-
ton, indeed, the money Of the
American people anterior to the
Constitution, which the great or
ganic law recognized as quite in
dependent Of It's own existence.
No power was conferred OH Con-
gress to declare that either metal
should not be money, Congress
has, therefore, in my judgment,
no power TO demonetize silver any
more than 10 denonetize gold; no
Ipower 10 demonelize either any
more than 10 demonetize both. In
this statement ] am repeating the
weighty dictum Of the first con.
stitutional lawyers. II, therefore,
silver has been demonetized, lam
in favor Of remonetizing II. lifts
coinage has been prohibited, ] am
in favor Of ordering il to be re.
sumed. lit has been restricted,
