Industrial Commission.

Inony of $. n. Buynitzky.

The Industrial Commission yesterday
received the resignation Of s. y. D. North,
Of Boston. who has been appointed chief
statistician in the division of manufac-
turing and mechanical industries by Di-
rector Merriam, of the Census Bureau Mr..
North has had this place under considera-
tion for some weeks, and owing to his de-
lay in accepting it, the members of the
Commission had concluded that he was to
remain with them. II was argued that as
the place in the Census Bureau paid less
would be no inducement for Mr.. North to
make the change.
Mr. North is a native OF New York, and
a graduate of Hamilton College, where
his father has been for many years a pro-
fessor of Greek. a number of years OF
his early life were spent as an editor in
Utica and Albany, and in taking the CEN
sus of 1880 he was employed as an expert
special agent for the collection OF statis-
tics relating to newspapers and other pc
riodicals. He was subsequently called to
the secretaryship of the National AssO-
citation of Wool Manufacturers, with head
quarters in Boston. There is no doubt

tariff on sugar. Mr.. Buynitzky had charge
OF arranging the present sugar schedule.
He presented before the committee the
draft of a bill which he had prepared cal
culated to relieve the country of the i'll ef-
fects of imported goods controlled by mo-
nopOlies. This end was accomplished by
giving the President power to reduce the
tariff 20 per cent on any article which was
so controlled as TO either reduce the
wages of the workmen engaged in its man
ufacture in this country or to raise tho
price of the article. Senator Mantle, who
was present at the hearing, expressed .
willingness to introduce the bill in tho

Mathieu, Archbishop of Toulouse, who
will resign the Archbishopric and hence
forth will reside in Rome. This creation
is said TO be entirely due TO the personal
initiative of Leo Kill, Monsignor Matthew
not having figured on any list submitted
to His Holiness by the French Government.
Consequently the Pope will be solely re-
sponsible for the emoluments of the new

Austria and Spain each obtain one of the
new hats, the recipients being the Arch
bishop of Gratz and Father Sleyanaras,

ian Cardinals will be nominated, the Arch
bishop of Turin, the Archbishop of Fer
rara, and the Archbishop of Raggio. The
other nominations will all be of Cardinaux
de Curie. The German Emperor's efforts

thus seem to have proved abortive, and
nothing is said of Canada's hopes in this
same direction.

ence of fully 800 men prominent in naval
and shipping interests Of the United States,
the torpedo boat Strlngham was launched
from the yards OF the Harlan & Hollings-
worth Company this afternoon. The spon-
sor of this valuable acquisition to Uncle

]. Beakley Creighton and a granddaughter
OF the late Admiral Stringham.
The sponsor and other invited guests ar
rived early. and luncheon was served at
noon At 1870 o'clock the last wedge was
knocked away. and the Stringham slid
gracefully down the ways and dipped in the

There were about twenty-five representa-
tives of the Navy Department from Wash

ceiyed royal salute from the river cr-.t
and Industrial establishments.
