THEIR EYES TURNED SOUTHWARK

Southwark the eyes of men are turned.
Southwark. since all the world has learned
The real merit and the worth
OF this, the grandest land on earth!
Long have we striven with cares unknown,
And fought our battles all alone,
And single-handed we have won
The foremost place beneath the sun.
The sunshine on our swelling hills,
The music of our laughing rills.
The melodies of joyous birds,
The hymns of hope too deep for words.
All these appeal to those whose hearts
Respond to natures gentler arts,
And busy brains and loyal arms
Have added to our matchless charms.
We taught the world how valor dies
For Justices sake with smiling eyes;
Through fortunes varying caprice
We've won the victories Of peace.
warm and cordial welcome waits
All loyal men within our gates
Our hopes are high. our hopes are strong;
Hearts filled with freedoms helpful song.

DUTY ON COIL.


Washington March 25.-The republi-
cans of the ways and means committee
are considering an amendment to the
tariff bill which will reduce the duty on
coal from rs to go cents a ton. The
Canadian duty on coal is so cents ton,
and the intention of the committee is to
make the duty reciprocal. 1t is also ar
gued that the superior quality of the
American coal is in itself very con-
siderable protection against the Nova
Scotia product.
The republican members of the COM
mittee are also considering the advis-
ability of changing the paragraph re-
lating to strawbraids, upon which a
straight duty of 90 per cent. was fixed
in the bill 1t was purposed to write
in an additional paragraph having es-
pecial reference to strawbraids dyed
and painted and on these increasing

SENATE DISCUSSES pEACE rnEArY.
Major Part of the Day Spent in Discussing
the Chiffon Amendment.

tne GnfirOH amendment.
Washington, March 25.-The debate
on the arbitration treaty in the senate,
this afternoon, was of short duration.
Mr.. Chiffon spoke for almost an hour
on his amendment to the first article
which amends the treaty so as to pro-
vide that only such matters shall be
submitted to arbitration as the senate
then in existence may deem proper for
arbitra ton.
Mr.. Chiffon advocated his amend
ment with a great deal of warmth and
contended that if as had been asserted
the terms of the treaty We're inter
preted as meaning this there could be
no good objection raised to the inSer-
tlon Of the words that made that in
depreciation unmistakeable. 1t was in
the interest of clearness and should be
accepted as such by all friends of the
treaty. Without his modification Mr..
Chiffon said the United States might in
the future be charged with violating
its treaty obligations il it refused to
submit certain questions to arbitration
when they arose as matters of differ
ence between the two countries.
He did not want the United States to
be placed in an embarrassing position
of this kind and deemed it the part
of prudence to make the text of the
convention so perfectly plain that there
could be no quibbling over what it
meant or what the senate had in mind
when the treaty was agreed to. The de-
bates were secret and in the future the
cold, hard text of the treaty would
alone be accepted as the expression of
what was intended when the conven-
ton was ratified and proclaimed.
Mr.. Morgan again spoke in favor of
the amendment and took occasion to
express his displeasure at any proposed
treaty with Great Britain that had for
its purpose any general scheme of ar
bitration. The whole thing, he said.
was a snare and a pitfall. but if there
We're sufficient votes in the senate to
ratify the convention Senator Morgan
said he wanted it made as nearly per-
feet as possible.
Messrs. Gray, Davis, Hoar and others
interrupted Mr.. Chiffon with questions
tending to show that his conclusions
were erroneous.
They also injected statements in sup
port of the committee amendments
which had been agreed to, as being suf-
ficient to cover every possible criticism
that could be made against the treaty.
Senator Gray took the floor in oppOsi-
tion to the Chiffon amendment after
Mr.. Morgan had concluded, but not de-
string to go on to-day, the senate came
out of executive session and resumed
the consideration of legislative busi-
ness.

Washington March 25.-Five Phila-
delphia clergymen called on President
Mckinley to-day and asked him to give

They presented to Mr.. Mckinley a
paper stating that on Thanksgiving
day, 1895, this proposition was submit
ted to Governor Mckinley at Cleveland,
O., by Mr.. Lubin; that Mr.. Mckinley
then expressed the opinion that the
matter was Of sufficient Importance to
warrant further investigation. They
now asked for an expression of his con-
clusion touching the important sub

They stated that it was the purpose
of many of the clergymen represented
to deliver addresses on the e-subject, but
before entering upon this active public
work they deemed it expedient to in
form the president of their proposed
plan, as his answer would influence the
character of the addresses, the first se-

says he knew of the letter, and told his
secretary to call his attention to the re-

The house yesterday morning passed
the following bill concerning the sale
of 'shad, Notwithstanding the unfavor-
able report of the committee: Every
person who shall sell or offer or expose
for sale any shad not caught in the
Connecticut river and tributaries, rep
resenting the same to be Connecticut
river shad, shall be fined S. for each
such offence, and each violation of this
act shall be a separate offence.
The disagreeing action of the senate
on the bill appropriating $4,000 for the
Tennessee exposition was reported.
Mr.. Frisbie Of Pennington said the
man who recommended the bill could
not say that there would be more than
five manufacturers who would be repre-
sented at the exposition, and he could
not say that there would be ten. The
manufacturers of the state did not ask
for the appropriation. There was not
single request for the appropriation
from q manufac cturer in Hartford coun-
ty, though within a stones throw of the
capitol are some very important manu-
factories. He moved that the house
adhere to it's former action.
The motion of Mr.. Frisbie was passed
and the bill rejected.

were the order of the day for II O'Clock,
and were taken up at that hour, on the
motion of Mr.. Roraback of North Ca
naan.
Mr. Roraback explained the present
law and the history Of legislation on the
matter. He said that the spirit of
gambling was alarmingly prevalent. He
had been furnished with statistics by
State Attorney Fessenden According
to Mr.. Fessenden's figures, in the city
{ of Stamford in four days there was TAX
en- in the sum of s13,526. This would
have made an average of 81, ,0000 900 a
year for single pool room in the city
of Stamford, with population of 20
900. The penalty of the present law is
$500 and year in Jail. The substitute
bill of Mr.. Hutchinson of Essex pro-
vides for penalty and drops the Jail
sentence. He pronounced the substitute
a pernicious measure, and said it was a
step in the wrong direction. The COM
mittee on the Judiciary were of the
ought to be rejected.
Mr.. Rowell of Stamford said that
churches and event state houses had
been built with the proceeds of gamb-
ling Even to-day there are churches
built in every town in the state by lot
tefies. Why are you so ANXIOUS to
suppress the race tracks and county
fairs?
Mr.. Neary of Naugatuck said the pen
alties provided by the present law were
too severe to be applied to pool selling.
He recognized the fact that there were
many men in the commonwealth, if not
in the general assembly. who would en-
act law to prevent a PERSONS shadow
from accompanying him when he walk
ed on the street. The opponents when
they stated that the measure legalized
gambling, were afraid to come out into
