Palm In North China.
A writer in the North China Herald •describes the fairs in northern China. There are but two months in the year when the' people io nut hold large fairs at convenient centers, at which all imaginable wants of all customers are supplied. The exceptions are the sixth month, when the roads are generally impassable, and the first, which is devoted to rest and recreation. There is a constant succession of these gathering at any given district, at which it is not uncommon for ten thousand persons to be congregated. There Is no method of advertising the exact date at which a fair will begin except by red •lips of paper put up in public places, *nd these notices are often very misleading.
THE MARKETS.
their Liberal Patronage, we wish to
say that we shall try more than ever
to give you the best of everything
that pertains to our business.

was adopted providing for an adjournment until Tuesday, .January 10, to enable tho presiding ofliccs to arrange their committees.
The message of Gov. Mich was unusually brief and opened with a plea in favor of good roads and called the attention of tho legislature to the importance of the subject. He criticised the operation of the Miner law, but did not absolutely recommend its repeal favored two boards of election inspectors at the polls on election day to facilitate the count and a canvass of the vote for state officers one month earlier than now and wants legitimate campaign expenses delined. The gin-
eruor asked for additional appropriation for the world's fair amendments I to the present law fixing the grade of test oil so that greater safety and better light can be secured an eflectiv© quurunMno against cholera, and a mensure looking to the gradual abolishment I of railroad grade crossings. 1

He expressed himself as being in accord with the action of the last- legislature in placing tho penal reformatory aud charitable institutions under a central board of control and recommends that the capacity of the state university be increased to accommodate all who desire to come. 'Ihe appropriation for the world's fair he thought was sufficient. The establishment of a public road system was urged and the placing of building ami loan associations under state supervision. The abolishment of free railroad passes to legislators as a remedy for snort sessions was also favored.

WASIUNCITON, Jan. 0.— The feature of Thursday's session of the senate was the speech delivered bv Senator Vilas (Wis.) against the anti-option bill. For nearly three hours he held the undivided attention of the supporters and opponents of the measure while he stated in a prepared argument, delivered with great earnestness and iinprcssiveness. the constitutional objections which, iu his opinion, precluded the possibility of its passage by the senate, lie notion need it as a flagrant advance to centralization and as involving llie characteristics of the most odious favoritism.
Senator Vilas opposed the bi!i because it was unconstitutional, and to that objection he directed mainly his remarks. It was not merely that the bill was unconstitutional ill transcending the proper limits of congressional power, but It directly invaded the sovereignty and peculiar governmental functions of the states. JS'o one claimed it to be a revenue. measure. And it might be summed up absolutely as beyond question that the object and purpose of the measure were not to raise revenue but to apply the. federal power, as with hydraulic pressure, to the extermination of the now universal method of making sules of the. enumerated articles. He denlt with the bill as it had relation to the legitimate transactions which were based upon and supported by the laws of every state in the union.
The bill has gone over till Monday liext. to-day and Saturday having been set apart, for the consideration of the two bills in relation to rjuaranline and immigration. \.-ll..n on (Mil.-!1 .M^liMir.'H,

Sweat-Shops UML IUSTHM*.
WASHINGTON, Jan. (t.—A strong report on the sweating system of making clothing in tenement houses will soon he made to the house by the committee on manufactures. The mass of testimony taken by the sub-committee in Chicago and i.oston has been overhauled by the chairman, Mr. Warner, of Xew York, and the most Important, portions put in print. The nature of the report to be maiic will be discussed at a meeting which has been called for to-day. Most of the members of the sub-committee are inclined to think that it is,useless to prepare a complete bill, because it cannot be enacted at the present session. They will set, forth then conclusions, however, fully, and will draw the outlines of legislation for the benefit of the uext congress.
There are three ways of reaching the sweating system under the federal constitution. The method which will probably be preferred is the regulation of interstate commerce in goods produced by the sweating system. This would I probably destroy the system, for 85 per cent, of the goods produced in New
York go outside the state. I The essential danger against whieh the committeo desires to protect the people is not so much the sentimental "no of underpaid labor as the diffusion of disease by goods produced by the sweating system. The testimony of
Dr. Annie S. Danfcl,. outdoov visit.ing physician for the New Yoric infirmary for women and children, taken only last month, showed that in lifty-two houses where she found disease the making of clothing was steadily going on. The disease in a few cases was not contagious, but I in others scarlet fever, measles, typhoid fever and other darigerons diseases afllicted members of the family in the same room where the work was being done. 1'eprcsentative Hoar is so strongly impressed with the danger from this source that, he thinks its suppression should be undertaken by aboard of health under the national government, and will urge this view upon the sub-committee,
