MANUFACTURERS MEET.
Three Days Session of the National
Association at Philadelph

Philadelphia, Jan. 26.-The three days
session of the second annual conVen-
ton of the National Association of
Manufacturers, began here this morn
ing, in Agricultural hall. The manu-
facturers interests of the country are
represented at the convention by some
of the leading business men of the coun-
try. All sections are equally represent
ed, the north and the south, the east
and the west-and the men present
seem to be animated with the common
thought of furthering not only their
own affairs, but the welfare of the en-
tire business world of the United States.
The practically unanimous sentiment
of the associations voiced by the mem
bers in attendance at the convention is
in favor of the enactment of a new
tariff law, and the revival of reciproc-
ity. The rate of duty that should be
imposed upon imports is a question
upon which the members are not Who'll
ly unanimous; but the most general
sentiment appears to favor some meas
ure less radical than the Mckinley law.

REVIEWING HIS AGE.

John Adams, of Starrucca, aged SO. if
reports are correct, is a very quick old
man. Until recently he was bald, tooth
less and almost blind. He can now see
really as well as ever has cut several
teeth, and his hair has grown out. The
finer hair is dark brown. His eyes are
clear. AT first glance he looks like a
man of 40, but closer view shows him
to be much older. His brown hair and
bright eyes seen to emphasize the
wrinkles and skin that looks like parch-
ment. Mr.. Adams has an idea that
newer skin will grow and the wrinkles
disappear He is in excellent health
and spirits, and believes he will live
many year yet.

London Times Thunders Against snvsr's
Restoration.

London, Aug. IA special writer
IN the London Times, which Ia the
past has shown itself to have been
close TO the government, makes bit
ter attack az silver. In closing the
article the writer says:
"The closing of the Gndian) mints
was justified, and all that is now need
ed 10 bring a great experiment to
successful ending is a little courage
as well as resources on the part of the
the same time, plain and straightfor-
ward language is advisable upon one
point. The Indian statesmen tam
pered too long with bimetalism. This
Irritation, which seems so innocent
and inuocuous, has already cost them
dear But for that the government
would have consented TO the closing of
the minis long before 1898.
The article comments on the "char>
acteristic crudeness and boldness of
American diplomacy in sending a BIZ
metallic commission to effect a reop-
ening Of the Indian mints while at the
same time dealing the worst possible
blow at British commerce by passing
the Dingley tariff.
at is clearly impossible to treat SER
iously a commission which argues that
unless we do something for silver the
United States will send Mr.. Bryan to
the White House, to the lasting injury
of British interests.
at is not certain that Mr.. Bryan
will be elected. 1t is not even certain
that if he were elected we would suffer
more than we should feel new Nc
Kinley with another Mckinley act.
Moreover, British investors in Ameri
can securities have time before the
next presidential election and before
the crash, to get rid of them.
zone thing is certain, we would be
very foolish to do anything for silver.
Eveu should the United States and
France agree TO adopt bimetalism and
England to reopen the Indian minis it
would only bolster up silver for brief
space to fall again to its proper mar
Set price; so that Indian finances
would be in position as bad, if not
worse than before.

The Army Bicycle Corps.

st. Louis, Mo, Aug. 16.-Lieutenant
James NJ Moss and the members of the
bicycle corps of the Twenty-ffth regi-
ment, U. S. A., will leave Jefferson
barracks on the 18th by rail to their
regiment at Fort Missoula, Mont.
When Lieutenant Moss reaches Fort
Missoula, his first duty will be to pre-
pare a detailed report of the trip and
forward it to the war department.
The report to be furnished the war
department will contain more minutie
of the Journey than has reached the
general public, including the quantity
of ratious carried, the details of their
consumption and distribution, the
weight of aecoutrements and the de-
tailed manner of their shifting, the
arrangement of the repair problem so
that the entire command was never
delayed in progress, the physical ca
pacitv of the men to cover certain dis
tances in certain times, the effects OF
hunger and thirst, the adaptability of
the wheel to Typographical and meteo-
rocical conditions. All these consid-
erations will be discussed.

Saved Gant,s Life.

st. Louis, Aug. 17.-Thomas Jeffer-
con Sappington, an old time resident
of st. Louis county, who saved General
U. S. Grant from capture by confeder-
ates, was buried on Monday at Sap
pington, a suburn of this city.
In 1864, when General Grant came
back to make short visit to his farm
near this city, Mr.. Sappington, who
was a first lieutenant in the Second
NJ issouri militia, learned that a num-
Der of the most radical sympathizers
with the south had planned to capture
General Grant and take him south as
prisoner. Mr.. Sappington determined
to thwart the scheme. He hurried to
st. Louis and met General Grant just
as he was starting out for his farm.
The result was disappointment to
the mer who were lying in ambush for
Grant.

THATCHER FOUND ooULTY
OF spostasy and Unchristian-Lise Con-
duct.

Salt Lake City, Aug. 14.-Moses
Thatcher has been found guilty of
apostasy and unchristian-like conduct
by the authorities of Salt Lake stake,
and the findings approved by the high
counsel. Mr. Thatcher has submitted
to the decision of the tribunal. The
main consideration imposed was an en-
dorsement of the manifesto promul-
gated requiring counsel to be taken
before officers of the church could &C
cept nomin atoms for political offices.
A construction was put upon the man
ifesto which permitted Mr.. Thatcher
to endorse it without vie lding his con-
tention. 1t was his refusal to en-
dorse this measure that led to his
deposition from an apostleship, and
led to his trial. The question also
largely entered into the late sena-
torial contest, which aroused much in
terest and bitterness at the time.
Thatcher's objection to the manifesto
was that it was too sweeping. AS
about every third male member of the
church is an officer under the church,
by requiring counsel before accepting
r. nomination for Office would place
political control within the hands or
the few, should they be interruptions
enough to use it. Mr.. Thatcher asked
for a construction, but it has never be-
fore been given. 1t has now been de-
cided, however, that it does not apply
to officers who do not give their whole
time to the service of the church. This
removed Mr.. Thatchers principal OBJ
lection.
Other conditions were that he retracS
some statements made which had their
origin in the controversy which 1ol-
lowed the PRONUNCIATION of the mani
feato and the trouble that followed.

4 Reciprocal Conference.

Washington. Aug. 17.-Since the
new tariff act went into operation ne
gotiations have been in progress be-
tween the secretary of state and the
French emba ssador here looking to
the formulation of new agreement
between the two countries on the basis
Of reciprocal tariff concessions under
the authority conferred by section of
the tariff act. 1t has been finally
agreed that Secretary sherman, Assis-
tant Secretary Howell of the treasury
department and the French Embassa-
dor shall join in conference on the
the subject in the near future and it is
believed that new and satisfactory
agreement win be reached.

Foul Play Suspected.

Berlin, Aug 17.-Considerable suspi>
cion attaches TO the accident to the
Hamburg express, which was derailed
between Cette and Uelseen, when
three passengers were killed and 10
injured. 1t is believed that there was
foul play, though the exact cause of
the derailment has not been ascer-
tanned.
1t was only six hours before the i'm
perial train bearing Emperor William
and Empress Augusta Victoria passed
over the spot, and the theory of the
police is that an attempt was made to
destroy that train, but owing to mis-
calculation, the expected effect was
postponed.

CARLIST'S ACTIVE.
London Is Found to BE Stronghold For
The Society.

The society.
London, Aug. 1.-THE Pail Mall
Gazette, this afternoon in long arti-
Gle upon the increasing activity OF the
Carlists, says it is not generally known
that London is one of the strongholds
of the Carlists, a thousand enthusiast
tic supporters of that party being To-
Gated here. The Gazette adds:
"The leaders seem to think that the
fall of Canovas brings their opportun-
ity nearer. During the past week
they have held many meeting to dis
cuss the best means of assisting their
colleagues in Spain in the event Of a
rising occurring" 81
The Chevalier Lumbye, at the heid
of Carlist club, in the course OF a
recent interview, is quoted as having
said:
1.-THE Carlists are highly organized
throughout Spain. When Don Carlos
next arises, nothing but foreign inter-
vention will prevent him from reach
ing the throne. There are 10000 vol
unteers in England ready to fight for
him"

Boise. Ida, Aug. 17.-The board Of
equalization has sent the sheriff of
Ada county to Custer to get the alb
stract of the assessment roll of that
county. The members of the board
who have been absent looking up the
matter of the assessment of sheep have
all returned. Deputy Auditor Turner
came with State Auditor Anderson
from Bannock. He states that the alb
stract of assessment shows correct
number of sheep for that county. The
sheep which it has been supposed are
grazed there, he says, are grazed in
Bingham. State Auditor Storer who
has been to Bingham to look into the
matter is of the same opinion.
He states that the action of tho
state board has had the effect of stir
ring up the officials there, and the as
SCISSOR has gone out to hunt up the
sheep. Storer thinks from 1OO,O 900 to
100. 600 will be found. The state, he
says, viii get its proportion of taxes,
but the question of fixing the total as
sessment of the county for the purpose
of making the state apportionment Of
taxes is one that there does not seem
to be any solution of, as that appor-
tionment must be made now.

To Test the Constitutionality OF tho Stock
ASSIGNMENT Law.

Boise, Ida, Aug. 1s.--The commits
siopers OF Lincoln county have retain
ed Hawley Prickett TO test the consti-
nationality Of the stock assessment
law Of the last session. Lincoln coun-
ty loses a large amount of revenue, as
IFS sheep range ia Blaine some eight
months Of the year. Moreover, the
rate in Blaine is $40, while in Lin
coin IL Is only $500. This works a
hardship on the Lincoln sheep owners.
The law will be fought under the re-
cent decision Of the supreme court in
the fee law case IL that decision stands.
Fit is revised, some other grounds of
attack will be relied upon.
Chief Justice Sullivan arrived from
HALEY for the purpose Of consulting
with the other members OF the court
On the petition for rehearing in the
fee law case. IL is understood the
matter will be decided at once; the un-
derstanding being that the decision
was prepared in accordance with an
understanding arrived at by all OF
them, that II was sent to the chief JUS
tice and that he brought it back with
him.
There IS considerable gossip about
the probable action of the court, but
nothtne, de6nite has become public.

,van, refreshments Mnde uniform.

Boise, Ida, Aug. Is-The state board
OF equalization gave hearings to Tag
Agent Evans of the short Line and
Assistant superintendent Horton OF the
Western Union.
Mr.. Evans asked that the assessment
Of the short Line and the Utah North
ern be made uniform at IS, 800 a mile.
The Short Line has previously been as
sessed at 50, 800 and the Utah Northern
at ST. 500. Mr.. Evans based the request
on the fact that the rates in neighbor-
ing states are lower and that the tax
levies are lower. Oregon assesses at
only 81. 600 mile. Mr.. Horton, using
similar arguments, asked that the tel
graph rate be made $40 per mile for
the poles and first wire and $40 for
each additional wire, instead of $50,
and Sle.5O, the former rates. The
board will not make the assessment
until Saturday, on which day the rep
rescntatiye OF the Northern Pacific
will be given hearing.

San Francisco, Aug. 15.-The sea
wall is blockaded with wheat. which
has been pouring into this city for
some days past from all sections of the
state.
Five steamers are alongside discharg>
ing wheat, and the huge sheds, which
are 1000 feet long by 200 wide, are
filled to their utmost capacity. The
City of Pueblo has arrived with 10000
sacks of grain from Port Hartford, and
all the river boats and scows that ply

more. Orders have been issued to clean
up vacant lots in the vicinity of the
sea wall to accommodate the grain
shippers, and the Lombard street
wharf is also being cleared for the
same purpose.

Saved From Mob Violence by Beds.

Central City, Colo, Aug. 14.-At .
o'clock this morning a mob from
Russell gulch, armed and masked,
broke into the Jail here by effecting
an entrance through door in the
rear, and demanded the keys of the
steel cell from the jailer. In this cell

suspicion of the murder of Alex God
derd, an American miner, who was
stabbed during a saloon row with Aus
TRANS on the night of the 9th The

and bedding in their cell The mobs
supposing it had killed all four left
the jail. Four leaders have been ar
rested and strong guard placed
about the Jail, but further trouble is
