CHOATE IGNORED
English Speaker Says His Country
 Owes Debt to America

Glondon, February 19.-There was a large attendance this evening at the Authors club dinner, where the United States am bassador, J. H. Choate, was the guest of honor Among those present were: James Bryce, Sir George Lewis, Anthony Hope Hawkins, and J. R. Carter of the United States embassy.
 Gilbert Parker, who presided, when pro- posing the health of MT. Choa te, dwet upon the debt British authors owed to American readers and to the American government for "a voluntary act of justice npassing the copyright laws," a sentiment which was heartily cheered.
 MT. Choate. in the course of a somewhat elaborate response. attributed the great reading capacity of the American people to their general education at the expense of the state and to the public library sys- tenn, which, since its establishment in Bos- ton under the auspices of Harvard dn 1868, had grown to such great proportions throughout the United States.

BLOW AIMED AT
 THE SUGAR TRUST Richardson Introduces Two Res
 olutions in the House.
FREE SUGAR FROM ISL ANDS
Democrats Show the Enormous Profits Being Realiz ed by the Sugar Mo- nopolies Resulting from Ex-
 istencs of Combination

Washington, February 19.-Representatiye Richardson of Tennessee, the minority lead CT of the house, after consultation with some of his democratic colleagues to-day, introduced in the house two resolutions, aimed at the sugar trust.
 The first is as follows:
 Whereas, the prices of sugars have re- gently several times been advanced, man. ufacturers in each instance having agreed upon lthe same price per pound, which is priIna facie evidence that trust or com .bination exists for the purpose of destroy ing competition in order that enormous profits may be realized; the American sugar refining company of New Jersey having for many years paid 12 per cent annually in div fdends upon $36,9Ss,0OO of common stock, , therefore,
 Resolved That sugar manufactured by | the said American Sugar Refining Company of New Jersey and all other manufacture CTS in this country shald, after six months from the passage of this act, be prohibited ' by the interstate commerce commission from being transported, in any manner whatsoever, from one state to another, un- til the said commission are satisfied that sugars offered for interstate transportation have not yielded profit to the manufac- turers thereof of more than per cent in excess of the cost of the same, which shall be ascertained in such manner the said commission in it's dicretion may determine unfavorable.
 Enormous Profits Realized
 The second provides that, whereas mo- nopoly exists among sugar manufacturers, and in consequence thereof enormous prof its are being realized, therefore,
 Resolved, From and after the passage of this resolution all kinds of sugars, mo- lasses. and everything entering into the manufacture of sugars shall be admitted free of duty from Porto Rico, Cuba, and the Hawaiian islands"
 MT. Richardson, speaking on these resolu- tionS, said:
 der the constitution, as interpreted by the supreme count in the Addiston Pipe and Steel company and the E. c. Knight com pany cases, has the power to refuse inter- state transportation to sugars and other manufactured articles, which produce enor- nous profits through monopolistic control until the profits on such goods have been brought within fair and reasonable limits, and when the necessities of life are 1n- volved, as in sugars, if not in all other manufactured articles controlled by monop- olies public sentiment will sustain the conn., mission in the exercise of such power. In order, however through a specific govern mental enactment to make it mandatory for the said commission to exercise that power, have offered this nonpartisan resolution.

STRONG TESTIMONY
After Years of Scientific Research This Emf nent Practitioner Prescribes and Endorses Duffys Pure Malt Whiskey for Medicinal Use.
Worthington, Mass.

Mrs. --, Worthington, Mass.
 Dear Madam: I have your kind favor, in which you do me the honor of asking ''if it is true that I recommend Duffy's Malt Whiskey." You add that you would not expect it of an avowed temperance man, and Sunday school superintendent Dear madam, AM temperance man, and know -no words strong enough to express my dis gust and detestation of the vile whiskey that peoples hell. I would that 1t were re- cognized crime to manufacture and sell it. People WILL drink, and I would that if they must do so they use the pure article that will not ruin brain, nerve and soul. The Duffy Malt Whiskey is a MEDICINE sold stamped as such. It Is not vile com pound of trash, poison and slops. I use it in laboratory work, because by it I get the true physiological effect of a pure liquor. When necessary to prescribe, I write the name in full, instead of writing "spts, fru- menH." q would that every physician did the same.)
 The medical profession need to specify the best, the purest-and no other If it did SO, if it were so that only pure medicines were used, it would advance medical science and advantage mankind. Duffy's Malt Whiskey lacks the element-fusel oil-that injures the system Can I do otherwise than stand up for it. and stand, denouncing POISON whiskey?
 have stated this before in public print, and think make myself plain. At least l have my grounds, supported by leading temperance people; and among my well- wishers I hope to have yourself. Sincerely, and advocating condemnation of the devils weapons, I am truly yours,

cover only nominal damages. This de-
cision of the highest court in the state
was handed down in the appeal of the
case of Andrew J. Broughel, jr., admin
istrator, VS.. the Southern New England
Telephone company. Brief announce
ment of the decision was made yester-
day. This was a suit brought by the
plaintiff to recover damages Tor tne
death Of one Davis, lineman who was
killed by an electric current through the
alleged cutting of wires by the DEFEND
ant belonging to the Hartford Electrlc
Light company. The case was deIault-
ed and heard in damages before Juuge
George W. Wheeler In the superior
court in this city. The judge FOUND for
the plaintiff for nominal damages, and
the plaintiff appealed for alleged error
in the rulings of the court. This Is the
celebrated instantaneous death suit
in which Judge Wheeler found that Ia
Wis death was instantaneous ana ne
suffered no pain or sensation and never
recovered the least consciousness. he
ruled as follows: IF upon the facts
substantial damages should be awarded
I find the damage should be assessed
at $1,000 which sum so assess. l rule
that nominal damages should be award
ed and assess the same at $1,000. Inc
plaintiff claimed that he was entitled
to substantial damages. The court over
ruled this claim and gave judgment for
nominal damages.
The supreme court sets aside the
judgment and orders new trial. Opin-
ion by Judge Torrance; all concur. In
the opinion the supreme court says that
the superior court erred in holding that,
inaemuch as death was instantaneous
with the shock of electricity which
caused it, the plaintiff was entitled to
nominal damages only. The new trial
is granted for the purpose of ascertain
ing and assessing the quantum of dam
ages only.
The supreme court also decided the
important suit of the city of Hartford
against John r. Hills, in which the
court establishes the principle that ap-
peal from a decision by the board of re-
lief does not act as bar to the recovery,
of nine per cent. interest on overdue
taxes, if the decision is adverse to the
appellant. 1t was brought with the

whether the interest should be paid on

company, the Hartford Fire Insurance
company and the Hartford Trust COM
pany. The adverse decision of the board
of relief in the companies appeal from
the assessment levied on their stock by
the assessors was sustained by the SUI
perior and the supreme courts, and the
city sued to recover the stipulated in
terest Of nine per cent, on overdue tax
es. The decision involves from $1,000 to
$4,000, the amount of interest which VIII
have to be paid to the city, and estab-

TO REDUCE WAR TARIFF.
Bill Introduced in the House.

Bill Introduced In the House.
Washington, Feb. Representative
Levy Of New York to-day introduced bill
amending the war tariff act by reducing the
tax on beer from So to 81; fixing the duty
on tobacco at q cents per pound; on cigars
and cigarettes at So per 1000; repeating the
duty on tea and reducing many Of the
stamp taxes, Mr. Levy says as to his bill:
THE secretary of the treasury has stated
that the surplus from revenues Of the gov
eminent will amount to between $30,000,O 900
and $40,000000 this year. The report of
the commissioner of internal revenue for
1880 shows that the estimated revenues
from the special war tax ($100, 0u00 00) was
exceeded BY over two million and a half dol
lars. The daily expenditures Of the govern
ment are decreasing and will continue to
decrease now that the war with Spain is
over. The need of the 800, 100000 proposed
to be raised by the war tax will no longer
exist. 1t is the aim Of this bill to reduce
Internal revenue taxation by at least $780,
100000 or say S50000,00o and the object
which 1t seeks to accomplish Is the restora-
ton of this amount TO pockets of the pco-
pie who will put 1t In business circulation"
