THE German ship Maria Hackfeld
took on board at San Francisco recent
ly piece of cargo consigned to Will
liam Waldorf Astor. 1t is great slab
of REDWOOD cross section of one of
the big trees of California-14 feet 4
inches in diameter. At a dinner party
given some time ago in London, Astor
spoke about the great redwoods- Some
of his hearers were skeptical. This
nettled Mr.. Aston, and to prove his as
sertion he offered to wager THAT he
could procure from one cross section of
a California big tree a table large
enough to accommodate all of the 40
guests assembled.

HILL is FOR HARMONY.
The New York ex-senator Wants Democrats
to Get Together Again.
NEW YORK Nav S-EZ-SenatOr


New YORK, May 1S.-EX-Senator
David B. Hill said yesterday:
The dscord in the democratic party is like
row between man and wife in which argument
only intenSifies and widens the breach The
gold standard democrats must be brought
back into the party by all means. They
should be welcomed back, whether they are
regarded in the light of returning prodigals
or new converts. Cancellation and amity
are necessary. Do you believe that the
a.. 900 votes cast for Palmer in this state repre-
scented the gold democracy: No indeed. At
least 900 other democrats stayed away from
the polls voted for Mckinley The demo-
cratic party in New York is strong, but it cannot
stand the loss of 600 voters. They must be got
back. Some common ground must be found
and am hopeful that the needed issue will APP
pear at the right time. Judging from what eX
President Cleveland said at the Reform club
dinner, he is still for war and diSsension. l do
not agree with Mr.. Cleveland this point.
This is not country that tolerates feuds.
Nothing is so disastrous to the health of a great
party for one man to become imbued with
the idea that his party must punish his per,
sOnal enemies.

The Brewers of the United States Organic
ing for the Coming Battle.
WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Probably the
most interesting fight which will be
made on any of the schedules of The
tariff bill will be that which will be
directed against the increase in the
beer tax. The brewers of the United
States are already organizing for bat
tie. Their influence is undoubtedly
great, but the fight they have against
them is to be the hardest in which
they have ever engaged. The present
tax on beer is 81 a barrel. There is,
however. rebate of ~ cents which
makes the real tax 92H cents barrel.
The senate bill proposes tax of Sl.44
straight, or an increase of 5119 cents a
barrel. The increase means question
of millions a year to the brewers and
naturally they are much agitated over
the prospect.

Aid. Dwyer appeared before the
board of charities and corrections last
evening in advocacy of the council re-
quest submitted to the board at its
previous meeting This is that the in
mates of the workhouse be put to work
during the coming winter pounding out
stone to be used in the macademizing
of Washington avenue north from
Thirty-second to Forty-second street.
Mr.. Dwyer urged that the board act
upon this request, so that the men
might be put to work Immediately, as
they would have all they could do to
pound out enough stone for the I'M
proVement, which it is the intention
to commence early next spring. AS the
board manifested a backwardness in
acting Immediately upon the request,
Mr.. Dwyer said that the board might
as we'll do so early as late. This some
what surprised the different members
and the point was raised that the board
did not necessarily have to follow the
dictates of the council.
Indeed you do" said Mr.. Dwyer.
1.-The act creating this board distinctly
states that its acts shall be in accord
ance with the provisions Of the city
council
This was contested, whereupon the
original act was procured, and Mr.
Dwyer scored a point. A section Of
this appears TO be quite clear in the
matter and was quite surprise to the
majority Of the members Of the board.
The board, however, decided to await
the action of the council In the mat
ter of the Schwartz resolution, which
is to the effect that workhouse prison
ers may be used for the purpose Of
the city on works Of public improve
ments.
This did not seem to suit Mr.. Dwyer,
and he demonstrated that if the action
was deferred until after the first Of
the year 1t would cause delay. Il
didn't come here to get into a fight
with the board" he said, but am after

ever refused to further consider the
matter.

Later advices from Madrid seem to
snow that Deputy Amblard will be en-

proposals to the Cuban junta when he
reaches New York. He is said to have
informed the Spanish ministers that ne
counted upon the adherence Of Gen.
