SECRETARY SEWARD.
His influence Upon the Foreign Pol

The Importance Of Secretary Sew
ards influence In the domestic affairs
OF the United States during Johnson's
administration has probably been eX-
aggerated, but 1t would be hard to ex
nggeratc the Importance of what he
achieved and of what he Initiated In
his own proper field of diplomacy. His
chief, occupied rs he was with fierce
controversies over other subjects,
found, we may well suppose, but little
time for foreign relations. lie does not
appear to have interfercd with policies
which We're already adopted or to have
initiated any new policies of his own.
Seward must therefore be held rcspon-
slblc To II degree somewhat unusual
for the conduct OF the delicate negotin-
tons, involving very far reaching con
sequences, which the war gave rise to.
II was he who first presented America
to Europe In that attitude of conscious
strength which the thorough establish
ment OF our nationality mt last enabled
us to take. 1t was he who reasserted
effectively, yet without amy arrogance
our traditional stand In reference TO
the Latin republics t. the south of us
II was he who facing westward, ac
complished mn expansion of our sys
tenn into II region never contemplated
until his day by those who guided our
destinies and turned our thoughts up

BibuIous Diplomat.


BibuIous Diplomat.
The story had reference to a former
senator of the United States who was
sent to Russia as minister There were
various evidences in the archives Of
the legation that sobriety was not this
gentleman's especial virtue and among
them very many copies of notes in
which the minister. through the secre-
tary of legation, excused himself from
keeping engagements at the foreign Of
fee on the ground of Sudden indispo-
sltion."
Mr. Prince told me that one day this
minister's valet, who was an Irish
man, came to the consulate and said:
"Ol'll not stay with his igsilllncy amy

Dentists have splendid opportunity
OF studying the power of imagination.
A New York practitioner by way of IL
lustration told Il reporter about one of
his women patients. She entered. ac-
companied by her husband, and. point
ing to her swollen face, asked the
dentist TO extract the offending tooth.
He placed her In the chair and, taking
the small hand glass which dentists
use, put 1t into her mouth for the pur
pose of examining the molar which
was to be extracted.
The glass had no sooner touched the
tooth than she uttered frightful
scream and, bouncing out of the chair,
rushed out into the waiting room, cry
Ing that her jaw was broken. The
united efforts of her husband and the
dentist We're for some time unable to
persuade her that the tooth was not
extracted and that she could not pos
sibly have been hurt. After examining
her mouth with the mid of glass she
finally became convinced that the tooth
was still In its place. Taking her seat
in the chair again, she submitted to the
operation of extracting the tooth with
out murmur and expressed her sur
prise that the pain was so slight.

The Cost of Comfort

When the cost of comfort is balanced
against the desire for comfort, the following
figures may help the desire.
One FAN MOTOR, running at 22OO reyo-
lutions per minute consumes 90 Watts. At
Is cents per 1000 Watts per hour, 90 Watts
per 10 hours costs &c. If 10 hours comfort
isn't worth &c. the desire for comfort is not
very great and further figures are useless.
A business mans time is represented by
dollars. Discomfort decreases mans abili-
ty to turn time into money. The Fan Mo-
tor produces Comtol!; therefore, it represents
to its users a valuable assist in the hot Sum-

PORT DIFFERENTIAL RATES.
Interstate Commerce Commission Recon-.
mends That They he Reduced.

WASHINGTON, May 1s.-Probably the
most important conclusion reached by the
Interstate Commerce Commission. 80 fal
as the export trade Is concerned, was an
nounced to-day In what Is known as the
port differential' cases, which involve
the preferential railroad rates allowed on
grain and -four coming from the West and
exported through Baltim ore and Phila-
delphia, as against the rates to New York
on similar exports.
While to-day's judgment is not enforce
able by the commission, as it merely acted
as arbitrator at the request Of the railroads
and the commercial interests of the various
ports concerned. including Boston, it will
probably be- accepted and will result to the
advantage Of New York on -four exports
and on grain coming from the Lakes.
The present diherential on -four origi
mating west Of Pittsburg u cents hundred
In favor Of Philadelphia as compared with
the rate to New York The commission
recommends that these differentials he re-
duced to two cents and one cent, respec-
lively. On grain from the Lakes Baltimore
now has dinerential OF 40 cent bushel
against both New York and Philadelphia
The commission recommends reduction
to $40 cent to Baltimore and that this diff
ferential be granted also to exports by way
OF Philadelphia.
The commission recommended that no
change be made in the existing differentials
on other commodities and the Il, cents
and cent preference given Baltimore and
Philadelphia, respectively, on all rail eX-
port grain from west Of Pittsburg still re-
main In effect.
The controversy over these differentials
has been going on for thirty years. and
several trunk line wars have grown out Of
the strife between the three ports Before
1870 the differentials on all rail export grain
to Baltimore and Philadelphia were 10 cents
a hundred pounds. being reduced in that
year to five cents. In 1879 they were ad-
justed on the distance basis. but rate war
ensued, eliminating. in 1877. in an agree

years Of rate war following. those rates

CHINA TO FIGHT EXCLUSION.
Movement OF Chinese Societies g. Boycott
American Goods Is COrrob rated.

american iO0OS Is OOffOD UateO.
WASHINGTON, May ls.-Ihe Chinese Legal
ton here has received confederation OF
the intention of Chinese commercial 30
cieties to boycott American products 80 as
to force this Government to make a salts
factory exclusion treaty. The outlook is
considered somewhat serious here. although
it Is argued that if the Chinese mercis nts
do not buy American goods they must
in many cases do without such products
II the Chinese do not buy directly from the
United States they must go elsewhere, and
in all probability will he compelled to take
Anne rican goods at these other markets,
possibly pa! ing higher prices. In cotton
goods and tiours it is argued that the Chi
nese can get nothing but the American man
ufaoturers' products.
The intention Of the Chinese societies,
how ever. is regarded az serious. The mer-
chants guild of Shanghai. which for1nu-
lated the movement, is known to be the
strongest commercial organize ton in China,
and one which il dominant in itI control
over merchants throughout the country,
and which exercises great influence with the
Chinese Government.
Sir Chentung LANG Cheng, the Chinese
Minister here. to-day called on Acting
Secretary Of state LOOMS, seeking
of this Government toward the ac-
ton of the Minister in sending circular
letters to his countrymen throughout the
United States asking for information relative
to the exclusion laws. Sir Chentung wants
to know Of all cases Of exclusion and depor-
tation and an estimate Of the damages in
each inst ance. He Intends on Behalf
OF his Government. to make test case OF
the present exclusion laws, with view to
showing them to be unconst tit ut ional, and
il this il done there will be suits for damages
against the United States Government
by the Chinese who have suffered from
the operations Oft law.
There has been considerable adverse criti-
cism Of the plan, some Of which has been
accredited to Government officers and Sir
Chentlng desires to know IL this Govern
ment has any serious objections, and II 40,
what grounds they are based on. He takes
the stand that everything he has done is
strictly within his province and that he is
working for his Governments interests in
proper manner.
The State Department has not taken the
matter up. but 1t is understood that officers
OF the Department OF Commerce and Labor
are considerably exercised over the plans
OF the Chinese Government.

COMMERCE. COMMISSION HEARD
Judge PrOuty Would Create separate
Body to Have Control OF Railroad Rates.

WASHINGTON May Is.-The Senate Com
mittee on Interstate Commerce to-day
heard Commissioner Prouty Of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission on the ques-
ton Of railroad rate regulation. The
necessity for some sort Of control over
rates. he declared, was due to the fact that
competition had practically ceased through
the unitication Of roads. Six great sys-
TENS practically controlled the entire rail-
road milea &c Of the country, and 1t was but
question Of time when there would be no rate
competition. He thought there should be
some power to prevent autocratic action on
the part Of the roads. He would not take
away their power to make rates. They
were private property, and as a matter
Of justice the companies should be al
lowed TO manage them, subject only TO the
qualification that they must be managed
within the law When they injured the
public the public must interfere.
In his opinion no power could be given
the courts to fix rates; it could only be
exercised by q commission under legisla-
tive delegation. He would create separ rate
body OF three men. who should have the
power on complaint to condemn an I'M
reasonable rate and name a reasonable
one subject to review by the court He
would take from the Interstate Commerce
Commission all except its administrative
duties. The detection Of infractions of
the law should be turned over to the De-
partment of Justice, and the commission
should be left free to effect adjustments
of complaints, which would he presented
to the additional tribunal whe Cancellation
failed The commission should have the
power to compel the attendance Of wit
nesses and take testimony, in fact, be an
investigating body with no judicial power
whatever
Replying to questions he said the COM
mission might be enlarged so az to establish
branches in New York, Chicago and other
great rate making centers, where they
could keep in touch with the shippers.
He did not favor making it q commission
Of traffic experts.

WASHINGTON, May lS-Dr. William Osler
of Baltimore, who has been here for several
days in connection with the tuberculosis
congress, left Washington this afternoon
for New York, whence he will sail for Eng
land tomorrow morning on the Cedric,
to take up his duties as life professor in
Oxford University.
During his stay here DR. Osler has been
incognito. with the object of keeping away
from reporters who wanted to interview
him in regard to his notable statement
about the chloroformng Of old men. He
appeared under his real name long enough
to-day to make a speech-his last in
America-at the opening session of the
congress, which is officially designated
and Prevention Of tuberculosis. He spoke
of the necessity of educating everybody,
including those who had the disease, to
the dangers of consumption.
at Is not so hard to awaken the public
he said, 1T is partly awake now, and is
fully dressed, it is true. The public must
enact good laws-New York city laws,
might say-for that city has set us fine
example in this connection, in spite of what
ever else she may have DONE"
When the reporters surrounded DR.. Oser
after his speech he insisted that his name
was Davis He was registered under an
assumed name at his hotel.
DR.. Edward L. Trudeau Of s aranac Lake,
the president of the assooiat ion, presided
al to-day's session, Dr.. Herman NJ.
Biggs of New York delivered an address
in which he told of the New York method
of treating consumption in sanatoriums
on North Brother Island.
One of the resolutions offered called
on the President of the United States to
institute an investigation into the santa
ton of all public offices and workshops In
which large numbers of people were en-
ployed, with view to preventing the spread
or development Of consumption.
