mines. The ground is not at all even in
richness and the worth OF pay streaks
varies greatly.
All vessels touching at ST. Michael this
summer have had great difficulty keeping
their crews, who have caught the gold
fever. One schooner from Victoria was
entirely deserted, and her crew, from can
tain to cook, started up the river for
Klondike.
The! crew of the schooner J. M. Cole
man endeavored to desert also, but the at

He put $4,000 of his s2S, 900 in a mine
at her advice, and then made over to her
half of the interest he bought. Before
going away he put his entire interest in

There is not much sympathy with HIM

State of Maryland claimed him. though
he had served in the Twelfth Virginia
Cavalry
The Chair ruled that no man can be
hurt by being born either in Maryland or
Virginia
Gen White. member of the Board of
Trustees from the State of West Vir-
ginia. said that if the present committee
was destroyed it would mean an end to
the movement for the Battle Abbey. He
was in favor of throwing technicalities
to the wind and uniting in a determined
effort to secure the institution. He
dwelt upon the generosity of Mr.. Rouss.
and appealed to the convention not to
judge the committee harshly nor to make
them responsible for the work of future
committees.
Comrade Williams, of Winchester, Va,
of Turner Ashby Camp, related several
incidents tending to show not only the
nobility and liberality of Mr.C. b. Rouss,
but his signal integrity.
Gen. Jackson made vigorous and
telling speech in favor of the adoption of
the report Gen. Jackson recited in de-
tail the generous proposition of Mr..
Rouss.
Gen. David Fable, of the Louisiana.
made a great hit in speech defending
himself to stand by the committee. He
wanted magnificent memorial erected
somewhere in the South, which should
perpetuate the names and deeds of South
ern heroes. He recited number of ben
efactions of Mr.. Chas Broadway Rouss.
Col Richardson, of Louisiana, COM
mander of the famous Washington Ar
tilery, spoke against the adoption of the
report.
Comrade R. H. Cunningham, OF Ken
lucky, favored the adoption of the report.
The name OF Charles Broadway Rouss

ton, and when the question was finally
put the ayes carried it unanimously, and
the report was adopted.

The domestic manufacturers in whose
interests these changes are supposed to
be made have stated that they do not
deserve over so per cent duty on linen
goods, and one of the principal manu-
facturers of linen and cotton handker-
chiefs in America (of Acheson, Harden
& Co, Passaic, n. ]. } states that he does
not desire any advance of duty ON his
goods.
The gross injustice of these duties
can be appreciated when it is remem-
bered that, owing to climatic condi-
tions, good fiber fax cannot be grown
or linen manufactured successfully in
this country, and when it is further re-
membered that the kind of linen taxed
is the kind that is used by the poorest
classes, while much lower duty IS put
on the finer grades

PRICES of Linens Go Up.

When the tariff bill was about to be
framed, the Republican leaders stated
that they desired to be moderate and to
avoid anything like excessive rates. Mr..
Aldrich, when introducing the amended
measure into the senate, claimed that
his rates were generally lower than
those of the house bill. The linen
schedule, however, is a notable one of
many exceptions. In it the senate rates
are higher than those of the house and
much higher than anything ever before
known.
Under the Mckinley bin of 1890 lin
ems were assessed 80 per cent, with a
few exceptions as high as 80 per cent
ad valorem. Under the rates proposed
by the senate a large proportion of the
goods lin everyday use will be assessed
from 60 to 80 per cent and in some
cases over 100 per cent. The following
table shows some of the changes in the
cost of medium and low grade linens;
