No district in America presents, during the
season, so many varied attractions as
the State of Florida. Besides its delightful
climate, which to one escaping from the cold
and unhealthful changes Of the North seems
almost ethereal, it is prominently a land Of
sport and pleasure, Along its eleven hundred
miles of saltwater coast and in its twelve
hundred fresh-water lakes are fish Of almost
every conceivable variety, from the migra-
tory tribes common to Northern waters to the
tarpon, pOmpanO, and others OF a more
tropical character. Nowhere in all our broad
land can the angler find a greater variety OF
game or better sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic hunter
finds safety. Deer, turkeys, bears, pantherS,
and wild cats roam at large through the more
s%parsely settled regions, while birds OF all
kinds may be found in abundance through
out the State. The more novel sport OF al
ligator and manatee hunting may also be IN
dulged In by the more adventurous tourist.
With its matchless climate, its orange
groves, its rivers and lakes, its boating and
bathing, its fishing and hunting, ana MS
/ extensive forests, Florida presents unrivaled
attractions for the yaletudinarlan, the lover
of nature, the sportsman and the explorer
To this attractive state the f~ennsylVanla
Railroad Company has arranged four per
soual~ly-conducted tours during the season OF
1897. leaving by special train January rs
February 8 and 20, and March 81. The urs|
three tours will admit Of q %soiourn Of two
weeks in this delightful land; tickets for the
fourth tour viii be valid to return until May
81 by regular trains.
Rates for the round trip, $4,000 from New
York, $500 from Philadelphia, and proper
Tomato rates from other points.

COnterreos Agree on the Immigration BnL

COnferrees Agree on the Immigration Bill.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The conferrees Of
the two houses on the immigration bill
reached an agreement Yesterday and the
bill as agreed upon will probably be re-
ported this afternoon. Many Of the pro-
visions of both the senate and the house
bills were retained, but those were modi-
fed so as to make it a very different bill
from that which passed each house. The
Lodge educational qualification was &C
ceptcd, but its application was limited to
persons between the ages Of 16 and 30 years
The Corliss amendment adopted by the
house and rejected by the senate was re-
| stored, but in a very much modified form.
The amendment made it unlawful to en-
ploy any alien in the United States. AS
changed the prohibition Is less stringent
and is made to apply only to the employ
ment Of aliens who habitually come and
go-''birds of passage"

NEW GRBENBAoK PARTY.

The new party projected by the Coxey
conference in st. Louis may not at first be
taken seriously by the average citizen, and
vet it deserves some consideration. 1t is not
entirely a Coxey cabal which has started the
movement for a r~ealignmentof the Populists'
All the radical elements Of the party which
met in national convention in st. Louis last
July, and which Endorsed Bryan and
nominated Watson, are represented in the
present conference in that city. The middle
of-the-road men opposed the conventions
course last July, and they deuounce it now
and propose a program which will render
impossible its repetition in the future,
Thus the convention of friends Of reform
and lovers Of Justice which the st. Louis
conference has called, which is to open at
Nashville July A, 1897, promises to have some
effect on the fortunes of the Populist and
Democratic parties, and therefore be OF ma
tional interest. Coxey personally is only a
climber. butthe elements which are dissatisfied
with both the great parties will hear him for
his cause. aud these elements, in their present
mood, are even more bitterly opposed to the
Democrats than to the Republicans.
The convention will either create a split in
the Populist ranks or will force that entire
party to make D new departure ON some inn
portant questions Of public policy. In either
event it renders impossible the formation OF
anv such coalition as that which supported
BRYAN last year, and which gave him over
5000, 600 Of votes, for all elements of the
Populist party have, since the election
