NEW YoRk's TRADE WAR.
The West and South Rebel Against
Her Commercial Suzerainty.

IF the United States were a huge
funnel, with the smaller end at New
York, so that all things from all sec
tons could scramble in at one end
and land with certainty at the other,
the business men of New York might
not be engaged, as they are at
present, in what threatens to be a
last struggle to prevent the general
trade center of America from clipping
to the interior of the continent.
Twenty or more years ago nearly
everything gravitated toward New
York, Boston, Philadelphia and other
cities of the north Atlantic section.
The raw products of every portion of
the west, from Utica to Denver
tumbled over themselves to reach the
manufactures of the east. The re-
tailers of the west, from the Monoa-
gahela to the north Platte and the
Sacramento, sent their orders for
pots, pans, hoe-handles, and groceries
to the jobbers of the Harlem and the
Schuylkill. The farmers of the west
shipped their wheat and corn from the
Mississippi valley to the shores of the
Hudson and the Narragansett to pur-
chase their plows and their hay
rackes. But in the latter portion Of
the seventies the process began to
stop, and II has been stopping ever
since. The food stuff and the raw
material of the west have found that
home is a good place to stay.
Grocers and furniture dealers and
clothiers and shoemakers think that
freight charges saved are better than
trademarks of old firms ON the
Atlantic.
Woods grown in the forests of The
northwest and the south are turned
into harvesters and wagons and Office
desks in the vicinities of their birth
The man in the west does his bust
ness in the west. The man of the
south does his business in the south.
New York is simply submitting to a
law of geography. There are noun.
tains and rivers between the west and
south and the north and east. and
commodities Of trade, like human be-
ings, climb or swim only for necessity
or Tor sport. Grain refuses to go up
the blue ridge in order to get down to
the Atlantic, because it can reach the
ocean at the gulf or the great lakes
with half the effort. Orders for metal
or cloth balk at the mountains and the
distance to the east and north, be-
cause they have found that they can
get what they want in the nearer
fields of Birmingham and Superior ami
North Carolina.

THE MASKING PLAGUE.
How an Elderly Chamber was Dis
comfited.


Before leaving the metropolitan
instances of bad manners, must
touch upon a phase so vicious that it
should be suppressed by law. allude
to the street 'mashing'-I know no
other than the slang name for the
practically men in those thorough
fares where women go to shop. This
is the most disgusting form Of vile
manners that we have, and-I verify be-
lieve that the men who do it openly
in Broadway and in Twenty-third
street would have been shot dead on
detection fifty years ago. Every wo-
man has been annoyed by them, and
all men see the thing going on. In
deed, there are men who appear to do
nothing else than to try to attract the
attention of women in the streets with
a sinister and uncomfortable purpose.
They could easily be spotted and
driven out of town. They do not be-
long in New York alone, but flourish
in every large city. Paris has the
disgrace of producing the most fin.
scoundrels; but we have thousands of
them in our own brave America
They are not all youths by long shot.
Many of them are in middle life, some
are elderly. Last summer | saw
man of middle age start his game. He
was a rather shabby specimen, frayed
at the trouser bottoms, run down at
heel and shiny in the elbows. But he
was on very good terms with himself.
Walking in front of me was a good
looking girl, quite slim and unsophisti-
cated-looking. Her dress indicated that
she was from some small inland place,
where the modes of Paris do not go
direct. She was simplicity itself.
Everything about her invited protec-
ton. The man have alluded to came
from the opposite direction. He took
measure of the girl with glance. He
turned on his heel and passed her,
looking into her face. Then he drop
ped back again, looking at her as she
passed. He quickened his pace and
passed her again, having in the mean
time arranged his shabby attire by
pulling down his short cuffs and twist
ing his mustache. Now, he evidently
thought he was an all-conquering LON
Juan. He again passed the girl, who
paid not the slightest attention.
though he smiled, or, rather, Ieered.
into her face. Surely, he will give it
up, | said to myself. Not he. He
tried again and again on the same
tack. By this time my interest had
changed into angry disgust. My arm
fairly ached to smash him over the
head with my walking stick That.

before he resumed his MASKING nro-

United States and Cuba. Many amend
ments were offered to both PROPOSE
tions but we're voted down. The orig
inal Spooner amendment was amended
in regard to franchises as proposed
by Senator Hoar. Senator Hoar Of
fered an amendment providing that no
official of the Philippines vested with
legislative power should exercise jul
dicial or executive power and vice
versa, ito the end that the govern
ment might be one of laws, not of
men," 1t was rejected, 26 to 3d. At
last the decisive moment arrived and
the vote was taken upon the amended
Spooner resolution which was adopted,
as to 81. Not since the enactment of
resolutions that war existed beween
the United States and Spain has there
been such an avalanche of passionate
oratory as the senate listened to.
Throughout the session the army ap-
preparation bill was under discussion,
the controverted questions being the
Spooner Philippine amendment and
the Plat Cuban amendment. The de-
bate was confined entirely to the DEM
ocratic side of The chamber. with one
exception. Both amendments were
denounced as vicious, pernicious leg
islation, subvcrsive of the principles
of government and unparalleled in the
history of legislative enactments.
The most notable speech was by SEN
ator Bacon of Georgia. His arraign-
ment of the administration for "corec-
ing" congress into enacting such pro-
visions in the closing hours of the ses-
sion was sensationally fierce. He de-
clared that the only possible object
of such action was that the "plunder-
ers and vultures" might have an op-
portunity to prey upon the PROSTATE
land of the Filipinos. Senators Tur-
ner (Wash.), Tillman Is. c., Petit
grew Is. d., Hoar (Mass.), Teller
(Col), Mallory (Fla.), Lindsay (Ky),
Culberson (Tex), Jones (Ark), Money
(Miss), Allen (Neb.) and others, all
denounced the proposed legislation.
The house had busy day of routine
work agreeing to conference reports
on the fortification, District of Colum-
bia and military academy bills, the
last named containing anti-hazing leg
islation. The naval appropriation bill
was sent back to conference, after the
defeat of the motion to concur in the
senate's provision for three more sub
marine torpedo boats. The Louisiana
purchase exposition BILL which has
been in a precarious parliamentary
state, was finally sent to conference
for an adjustment of difference.
Washington, Feb. 2S-An immense
amount of business was disposed of in
the senate and not single point
raised was sharply controverted
The river and harbor bill carrying ap-
preparations of more than $4,000, 900
was passed without a word of discus
sion and the senate adopted the
conference report on the war revenue
reduction measure. Final conference
reports were made and agreed to on
the diplomatic, consular and agricul-
tural appropriation bills and another
conference on the postoffice bill was
ordered.
The house cleared the decks of
number of important conference re-
ports. The report on the war reenue
reduction bill proved generally ac-
ceptable to both sides and was adopt
ed without division

FEDERALLA LAW MAKERS.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The real strug-
gle for insular legislation at this ses-
sion began in the senate. The army
appropriation bill was under consider
alton and the Philippine amendment
was reached. In addition the Cuba
amendment was offered and a general
debate on these propositions began.
Sharp opposition to the Philippine
amendment developed on the
democratic side, beginning with
a point of order which
the senate overruled, followed with
speeches by Senators Tillman, Raw
( Inns, Gallery, Bacon and Morgan. The
amendment was defended by it's
! author, Senator Spooner, who pointed
out the necessity for legislation. SEN
ator Tillman vigorously opposed the
amendment. He declared it was a
bold, naked proposition to invest the
president with plenary power to gov
ern the Philippine archipelago in a
civil way. He declared the enactment
of the proposition into law, together
with the granting of certain requests
/ - SAO AoAe SoniuiooAOn W Sell pubic
lands and lease mines, would open to
the people of the Philippines all the
dangers of carpet-bag government.
At great length Senator Morgan dis
cussed the constitutional phases of the
Philippine question He insisted there
was no war in the Philippine islands.
In the course of his discussion of the
Philippine question, Senator Morgan
referred in terms of high praise to
the work of the Taft commission and
to the government which had been es-
tablished in the islands.
The house jettisoned authorizations
for two battleships and two cruisers
which were in the naval appropriation
bill as it passed that body. The senate
had rejected the proposition and,
| against the appeals of the house con-
ferees, the house voted by big ma
jority to agree to the senate amend
ment striking out the authorizations.
The house agreed to the conference
report of the bill to create a commits
sion of five to adjudicate the claims
of United States citizens against
Spain assumed by the United States
under the treaty of Paris,

Ten Mon Literally Roasted to Death BY

plosion.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 20.-By an sx-
plosion of gas in the Soho furnace
Of Jones & Laughlin, ten men were
burned to death and probably 20
others more or less injured. The ex-
plosion occurred in one of the big
blast furnaces. The men were at
work at the top of the furnace over
i2o feet from the ground. They were
Just getting ready to qui. vseik, when
the gas which accumulated in the
furnace exploded and tons Of molten
metal, cinders and Stag were thrown
over the unfortunate men Oh the
top Of the structure. When the gas
let 60, panic ensued on the small
platform about the top. The men
made a-rush for the elevator but it
had gone down and there was no es-
cape. The jump meant death and to
remain on the platform was just az
certain doom. Their bodies dropped
to the roof of the mill IS feet below,
every bone broken and an unrecog-
nizable mass Of human flesh.

determination to retire was made
known to the president some little
time ago, just how long is not known.
In view of the repeated publications
of late to the general effect that Sec
rotary Hay is about to retire from the

substantially to the effect that Sec

tirement from the cabinet. Also it
is stated with equal positiveness and

that he shall remain in the cabinet

Washington, Dec. 21.-Judge Advo-
cate Lemly and Solicitor Hanna have
submitted to Secretary Long their re-
port upon the bill of objections filed
by Admiral schley to the findings of
the schley court of inquiry. In sub
stance this report is an argument sup
Elementary to the argument made by
the writers before the court of in
quiry. Tho principal points are an in
sistence upon their contention that
the first report is the unanimous re-
port of the court of inquiry; that
the court was justified in rejecting
Admiral Schley's evidence by the
number of witnesses who took issue
with him and there is no sufficient
reason for the re-opening Of the case
az requested by Admiral Schley.
In the event that Secretary Long
approves the recommendation OF
Capt. Lemly and Mr.. Hanna, it ID
stated upon reliable authority that
the suggestion will be made to the
president by Admiral Schley's coun-
sci that he appoint a board of three
eminent lawyers. one to be selected
