His period of liberty was short. however for in 1883 he was again in prison for three months. It was as convict in Portland prison that he was first elected as a member Of parliament. and that he wrote his

would handle or at least control all the

Grateful COlored PeODle

Duke Bryan a WE'LL known colored
cooper who works for Messrs. Robin

acknowledge the obligations his race
is under to their white friends in Will
mington for %succoring poor and dis
tressed colored people who were put to
sore straits during the blizzard. He
asks that in behalf of the colored peo-
pie of Wilmington their most grateful
appreciation be expressed to the city
authorities for the manner in which
they relieved the many applicants for
assistance. 1t was estimated that ten
colored persons to one white applied
for relief but he says he knows of his
own knowledge that the ratio was at
least fifteen to one. He says it was
observed by his people that Mayor
Waddell and Chief of Police Parmele
were exceedingly kind and unremitting
in their efforts to give relief to all
worthy persons. He asks us to say the
colored people know who their
friends are and that we can give him
as authority for the statement that the
Democratic authorities have done more
for the poor colored people than ever
did their Republican friends. Sincere
sympathy was manifested and the food
clothing and fuel were furnished lib
orally, not only by the city authorities
but the white people of the city gener-
ally.

gent needs. The commission pays spe-
cial tribute TO Acting Assistant Attor-
ney General Barrett for the postofice
during its labors. The laws revised en-
braces all up TO and including the first
session of the 55th congress.
The report in brief was:
In numerous where penal
ties have been recovered by civil pro-
cess in the nature Of actions for debt,
provisions for criminal prosecutions
have been substituted as most effica-
cious. Other changes are reported hav-
ing in view a more proportionate ad-
justment Of penalties to the gravity of
the offenses respectively defined. in
which the present laws having been
adopted from time to time are faulty.
Occasional lamentations have Deer made
in the verbiage of the present laws de-
signed TO secure precision and sue
cinctness in the definitions of offenses.
A provision has been inserted inhibit-
ing the maintenance of private postof-
flee n letter boxes.
This is in conformity" the commits
sion says, with the general policy of
this government and it is further rec
commended by considerations of great
weight, it being found hat in the

Renewed. notwithstanding Non-Exfs-
fenee Of n Commercial Treaty-De.
mand for American Wheat

Washington, February 16.-The lack
of a commercial treaty with Spain, the
former treaty having been terminated
by the war, is not altogether prevent
ing the trade between the countries
although American products are handi-
capped by an additional 20 per cent.
duty in Spanish ports, owing to the
lack Of a treaty. Still even under these
conditions, United States Consular
Agent Mertens al Valencia reports to
h state department that there is a
great demand for American wheat. A
cargo Of 1000 tons Of red winter wheat,
which had just arrived there, proved
entirely satisfactory and importers were
willing to receive more. The consular
agent says:
The price seems to compare favora-
bly, with that of Russian wheat (the
kind generally imported here when
there is a demand for foreign wheat)
although American wheat pay 20 per
cent. higher duties thar grain from
countries which have a commercial
treaty with Spain. This is the first di-
rect shipment from the United States
TO this port since the war"
The consular agent above quoted re-
manned at his post throughout the en-
tire war and even continued in the dis
charge of his official functions as far as
possible without molestation.
