S GRIP. !.


President Andrew J. Corcoran, of the
Board of Trade. received last night the
following letter from an eminent firm Of
engineers in Kendall Cumberland. Eng
land which explains itself
Dear sir-We note with much regret
the probability of the tariff in your country
being raised adversely to foreign import.
You may be sure that all such movements
are watched very closely over here The
impression until lately has been that
America was moving forward toward
freer commercial relations with this coun-
try, with the result that there has been
an increased willingness to buy American
manufactures and machines whenever they.
come fairly into competition.
1--WE fear that the proposed adverse al
teration in the tariff will materially check
the feeling and will lead to preference be-
ing given to European-made machinery
This will be very disappointing to us
after all our efforts to place the best
American machines in this market.
Yours truly.

NEW FINANCIAL PLANS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. %, 1S96-Secre-
tary Carlisle and Senator German were
in close conference for an hour or SO
yesterday at the Treasury on financial
matters During the past week the two
have been in almost daily comnunica-
ton.
Rumors are afioat that Senator Cor
man recommends a plan which Secretary
Carlisle. it is understood, once favored
of authorizing the coinage of all the sill
yer bullion and declaring and coming the
seigniorage, and that in the form in
which this matter is being considered
by the Administration it is coupled with
the proposition advocated by President
Cleveland of retiring the greenbacks and
allowing national banks to issue notes
up to the par value of the bonds held by
them. Some color of probability is given
to these rurnors by the fact that Senator
Gorman, chairman of the Democratic
Steering Committee of the Senate has
been sounding Senators within the last
few days on the probability of such a
scheme passing the Senate.

Labor sent him to Trenton and he thinks
he ought to have been on the Labor

last week and Mr. Derousse blandly in
formed him that his omission on the
Labor Committee was an oversight
Last night the Passaic man went to the
Speaker an6 told him that he had found
a man who would give up his place on

The Speaker looked annoyed and hast

The man who is willing to chage with
Mr.. Bullock is Mr. Skinner, who was
defeated by Mr.. Derousse for Speaker.
Ten of the Essex men are sore over
their treatment by the Speaker and an
open rupture is imminent
True to his word, this morning, Mr..

having it referred to the Committee on
Federal Relations.
Local option came to the surface in a
petition presented by Mr.. RICHTER of

in many communities throughout the

prayed that American principle OF ma

be amended SO as to give those commune

VERY Dull TODAY.
Legislation at a Standstill--

TRENTON, Jan. 2S, 1S96.-The prospects
of a short session are not very bright.
Both Houses met this morning and ad-
journed for want of something to do un-
til afternoon
A constitutional amendment affecting
the Court of Errors and Appeals was
introduced in the Senate. 1t provides
that the Court shall consist of the Chief
and three Associate Justices of the Su-
preme Court and two Vice Chancellors.
four of whom shall be a quorum. The
members of the Court are to hold office
for. one year, in regular and continuous
rotation, according to seniority of ap-
pointment.
Mr.. Ketcham introduced bills repeating
the laws of last June, which gave Mayor
Lebkuecher of Newark power to fill va
eancies in the city boards. These bills
were passed after a bitter fight at ex-
ira session, in order to keep Newark
from falling into the hands of the Dem
ocratS.

In the House Mr.. Wildes introduced
resolution asking the Jersey Congress-
men to take measures to help the Ar
menians.
The Senate adjourned for the week.
The reasons given for the sudden
hees' Senate bill No. l., which changes
the phraseology of bills, has passed the
Senate, but not the House. The En-

work until the bill becomes law so
that the, years legislation may be uni

tons with next years laws Governor
Griggs recommended that way out of the
difficulty.
Mr.. Stokes has introduced a bill in the
Senate which concerns sportsmen. 1t is
law, which he seeks to repeal. 1t pro-
yides for the appointment by the County
Courts of ten game wardens, who snail
serve without salary. They shall have
power to issue licenses to non-residents

Chancery Clerkship and it was whis-
pered in the corridors that Joseph Mann,
holders, had been told that he could have
Mr.. McDermotts place. Sheriff Toffey's

date and has the best chance to win.

BOSTON. Jan. %. 1S9e-Yesterday af-
ternoon, the opinion of the Hon. Charles
Francis Adams was sought as to the
fitness of acceeding to the Cubans the
rights of war on the part of the United
States at this stage of the insurrectioil
Why should we recognize their de-
mands as belligerents." said Mr.. Ad-
ans. Il don't claim to be familiar with
all the facts in the case. but as I un-
derstand it. this contest is mainly car
ried on by a reckless and mostly lawless
set of fellers. who secure negroes and
irresponsible followers that may be set
down as little better than banditti
The disturbed condition is due to the
bad government by Spain, oppressive
measures and unjust taxes. The Span

AS to the effects of recognition Of bel

There is a considerable amount of
american property IN cuba. II we give
belligerent rights we acknowledge a state
of war We can make no clause for com

must submit to the interference which is
liable to come from war-making powers
The general impression gained from
Mr.. Adams position in the premises was
that if he could be assured that the best
elements OF Cuban life, capable of main

OFFSET TO sEwELL.

WASHINGTON, January %, 1885,
AS result of a long conference
which Senator Smith had with the Presi-
dent last week. he had intended to em-
body the position of the administration
upon the Monroe doctrine in a resolution
which should not go as far as the resolu-
ton reported by the Committee on For
eign Relations and yet would be 'diamet-
rically opposite to the resolutions pro-
posed by his colleague, Mr.. Sewell. Sem
ator Smith said to the correspondent last
night that he would probably abandon
the idea of preparing resolutions, but he
intended to make a speech on the sub
ject, in which he would uphold the Mon
roe doctrine and the administration. Il
believe he said, that the people of
New Jersey are with the President in
this matter. They are patriotic and have
been for more than century. l feel
sure that the position which I will take
in my remarks will be more in accord
with their views than the stand taken
recently by Senator Sewell.'

TRENTON, JAM %. 1896--Perhaps the
dullest Monday night in the history of
the Legislature was last night The
galleries were crowded as usual with the
good people of Trenton. but the lobbies
were deserted. The politicians, office
seekers and others who make it a point
to come to the State House on the first
night of the Legislative week were alb
sent. The oldest inhabitant cannot re-
member a Monday night when the Hud-
son and Essex men did not monopolize
the lobbies and make the members
weary with their sociability, but last
night you could count the Hudson men
on your fingers. There was Henry

Lawyer Galen: r. sHitt of Albany and

for new trial before the Schoharie
justice today. Lawyer George Raines
of Rochester and Assistant District At

the application. They submitted a volu-

was District Attorney Burlingames re-
port of McGough's confession. The sue

rest on the acceptance of one or the other
of these statements.M
