roll of conferences was called, introduced
a resolution denouncing the use of tobac-
CO in preable and then recommended

recommended that all Sunday school SUI

which created deal of laughter IL said
that Bishop Hurst, in his speech Friday
night, said that the first dollar given the
American university was by colored

vided that a colorcd man should always
be represented on the board.

A resolution was introduced by Merritt

n. G.DuNS CO.'S WEEKLY REVIEW.

Evidence Given of Confidence In the fut-
ure-Trying situation for the Textile
Manufactures-Prices of Wool ssgging
Here aud Abroad-Corn IA Shade Lower
without Any Definite Reason-Price Of
Cotton Lifted by Speculation.
NEW YORK, May 1l.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says: That ex-
ports Of $3.50. 900 gold this week have
produced no monetary disturbance is at
once proof OF the soundness of financial
conditions and Of the prevailing conh-
dence OF better things to come. Much of
the hesitation at present is due to the
temporarily reduced demand in some In
dustries, and in iron and steel
the power OF the new combin-
ations is being generally tested
by refusal of orders SO that production
exceeds consumption, but consum ption
exceeds new buying. The general irregu-
larty Of prices and the slackness of de-
mand for finished products do not pre-
vent the marking up of prices by COM
binations, but are largely due 20 doubt
as to whether such prices as are fixed can
be maintained. Pig iron is weaker at the
east and also at Pittsburg. and most nm
ished products are weaker with remarka-
bly, narrow demand. Minor metals are
inactive, with copper weak, tin steady,
and lead slightly lower, and American
tin plates 80 cents below foreign.
The Fabric situation.
For textile manufactures the situation
l. trying Cotton mills have "a fairly ac-
tive demand though not equal 10 their
normal output, and for many months
have been accumulating goods, hoping for
better things so that some are now stop
ping. although the demand for some
grades, with higher prices for cotton, has
helped 10 a small advance in prices. Print
clothes are an eighth higher, but some
other grades have Declned, so that the

err Wooden manufacturers find the prices
| Of wool sagging both here and abroad, the
| decline at London having reached about .
per cent while the average of quotations

| cent lower May ], and prices have been
| further reduced by concessions TO clear OH
| stocks. At the west traders are buying
much above the parity of seaboard prices.

but moderate.

Washington, Feb. pa legislative
agent, named Davis, recently recovered
from the Harvey steel-plate people be-
fore New York court a judgment for
more than 5000 for work done before the
navy department to have the Harvey ar
NOR adopted for the ships of the American
navy. During the trial of the case ex-
Secretary Tracy testified that he had not
been approached by this agent at all
but the jury seemed to think that Mr.
Davis had exercised persuasive powers
somewhere, for he got a judgment
Mr. Davis is known commonly as Jimmy
Davis His figure is familiar to hundreds
of people at Washington, who do not
know his business. Nominaly he is a
lawyer but actually he is a lobbyist He
is not ashamed Of the fact and he finds
precedent for the responsibility of his
ness of promoting legislation Is recog-
nized as perfectly legitimate In WASH

are many men of splendid reputation who
come to Washington every year to ad-
yocate legislation, and who do it for Z
fee.

make a speech, and that speech could
nave been made as well in a discussion
OF the conference report proper.
The resolutions of the two houses hav-
ing been sent to conference the Senate
yielded and agreed to the House form of
the resolutions. That agreement, which
is now before the Senate is. to certain
extent privileged. 1t is not a privileged
question, but a motion to proceed to the
consideration of a conference report must
be taken without debate and cannot be
side-tracked by unlimited debate.
The question of the right of a senator
to seat in the Senate is one Of the
highest privilege, and would. il appears,
take preference over a conference report.
Vice President Wheeler held in the con-
tested case of Kellog-Spofford that the
question of consideration was in order
Immediately after the reading of the jour
nal and when Mr.. Thurman appealed from
the decision the chair was sustained. 1t
would, doubtless. be held now that the
dupont case was of greater privilege than
the conference report on the Cuban reso-
lutionS should the point be raised
An arrangement has been made, II is
said, with Mr.. Mitchell, who is in charge
of the Dupont case, so that the two mat
ters will move along without friction.
Tomorrow the Cuban question will prob
ably come up during the morning hour,
but at 2 O'Clock Mr.. Mitchell will claim
the floor and Mr.. Pritchard of the COM
mittee will speak in reply to the speech
of Mr.. Turpie, which was concluded this
afternoon. The Cuban question may then
be taken up again.

just as long as the senators may desire.
If the report is finally agreed to in the
Senate il then goes to the House. where
the agreement would, in all probability.
be adopted pro forma, the Senate having
yielded on every point to the House. The
report of the managers on the part of
the House is necessary to complete the
record and show that the subject matter
was finally and definitely disposed of.

POsTOFFICE spy SYSTEM.
The House Refuses to Vote an In
creased Amount to Keep 1t Up.

Washington, March 1.-THE postofice
appropriation bill was finally disposed Of
in the House to-day and sent TO the Sen
ate. The session was chiefly devoted to
a consideration of the spy" system in
the postoffice department. as the espion-
age upon letter carriers in the past year
has been called. and it was very rigor-
ously attacked by several members.
Upon an amendment offered by Mr..
Quigg, rep, of New York, to strike out
the increase of appropriation made in the
bill for the pay of postoffice inspectors, the
principal speeches were made by Messrs.
Quigg Cummings and Belknap, in favor
of the amendment, and by Messrs. Loud,
in charge of the bill, Mcmillan, Bingham,
and Kyle, in opposition. The amendment
was agreed to by a vote of 1872 to So.
After the bill had been reported to the
House, Mr.. Cromwell moved to strike
out the appropriation or $4,000 for spe-
Boston, via New York and Washington,
to Atlanta and New Orleans, which was
the subject of yesterdays debate. The
motion failed-111 yeas to 1874 nays, mem
bers from the east and south generally
supporting the appropriation, and west
ern members opposing II.
Before adjournment, Mr.. Daniels of
New York gave notice that he would move
tomorrow to proceed with the considera-
ton of the contested election case of AL
drich VS.. Robbins, from the Fourth dis
trict of Alabama.
At 4:5O o clock the House adjourned.

Ten Thousand Persons Surround the
Church During the Ceremonies.
st. Louis, March lin a picturesque
spot in Cavalry cemetery, surrounded by
the graves of over a score of priests, re-
pose the mortal remains of Peter Richard
Kenrick, lately archbishop of the diocese
of st. Lc uis, and for five decades, a he
roic figure in the calendar of the Catholic
church in America. The venerable arch
bishop was, at the time of his death, the
oldest Catholic bishop in the world. and
had his life been spared one more day, he
would have reached the sixty-fourth ami
Versary of his ordination as priest.
Funeral services were held this morning
in the old cathedral on Walnut street and
we're attended by nearly 10000 people,
many of whom had stood since early dawn
in a cold and penetrating wind awaiting
the opening of the church doors. The doors
of the cathedral were thrown open to the
public at o'clock and inside of ten min
uteS the church, which seats but 800, held
a. congregation of nearly twice that num-
her The doors were then closed and the
assembled multitude was content to wait
for over three hours until the casket
bearing the remains was conveyed to the
hearse and the funeral procession began
its march to Cavalry cemetery. Archbish-
op Kain of the st. Louis diocese was the
celebrant of the mass and Archbishop
Ryan of Philadelphia, preached the fun
eral sermon. Cardinal Gibbons, several
archbishopS, bishops and about three nun
dred priests were present.
