FRYE'S LITTLE TALK.
Es Earalitsi H 8 Leiier.tni Dianes Upin ths Tariff Qiestioa, Cowling Great Britain Into the Kars of the Senate The Southern Attitude House of Representatives. t Washington, January 23. In the Senate to-day Senator 11 oar presented the petition of tbe Governor of Massachusetts, the ;31ayor of Boston, presidents of colleges, ' and a large number of distinguished perrons representing a niasa meet Id? held in Tremont Temple,; on the 12th ot November last, to welcome the British Peace Deputation. He stated that this British deputation represented a majority (he believed) oi the membsrs of the British Parliament and a large number of persons of rank and influence and distinction in that country. 3ome jealousy, he said, had arisen lest the message of peace might be intended to eilect, in some manner, matters that were now in course of negotiation between the two countries, which, he had no doubt, would be adjusted by peaceful and ordinary diplomatic methods, or by the good sense of the two nations. He was satisfied that there was no foundation for that jealousy. It seemed to Mm that this memorial presented one of the most important and interesting questions that could be brought before the Senate at the present time The message was one which was a go 3d thins: to come Irom the one country and to be received and welcomed by the other. Tbe great armaments kept up by the European nations operated as a burden on their poor and laboring classes (if not their dominant classes) on the classes to which the sympathy of the American people always went out. The cost of a siDgle ship of war wa? much greater than the cost of a first-class tmiversity, and the cost of the American civil war (the results of whicn he knew to be worth all that it cost) was so great that, if the amount were pat out at 5 per cent, interest, it would pay all the expenses of the National and State governments in this country forever. The message was well worth the respectful attention of the American people. The petition was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. Senator Edmunds, from the Judiciary Committee, to which had been referred the investigation into the Jackson, Miss., election troubles, reported a resolution authorizing that committee to Bend for petitions and papers inquiring into the alleged participation of Federal officers in the suppression of the votes of colored citizens. Senator Vest said that, as a member of that committee, ha had consented to the reporting of the resolution because it was confined to the conduct of United States Officials. The resolution was adopted. Senator Beck presented the remonstrance of the Western Union Telegraph Company against the passage of the Postal Telegraph bilL He said that it was a very fall pre sen tat ion of the case, and that the Postoare Committee desired to have the com mucication printed and referred. So or dercd. Among the bills reported from commit tees and placed on the calendar were the following: For the admission of the State of Dakota and the organization cf the Territory of xducoin. a. minority report is to be pre sented.) For the relief of tbe settlers on the school lands, in Washington Territory. To authorize the sale to aliens of certain mineral lands. To relinquish the interest of the United states in certain lands in Kansas. Senator Sherman, from the Committee on foreign Kelations, reported back, without amendment, the House joint resolution relating to the invitation from the British Government to participate in the International Exhibition at Melbourne to celebrate the founding of New South Wales. Senator Chandler offered the resolutions calling on the Secretary of the Navy for information as to the cost, etc., or plans, designs, drawings, or specifications of ships or engines obtained abroad; as to changes made from the original plans of the Chicago, Boston. Atlantic andDjlnhln. and as to the contracts made for naval vessels, macnirery ana armor since March i, 1883. The resolutions were all laid over and ordered printed. I'EYE ON TIIE MESSAGE. Senator Frye called up the motion to refer to the Committee on Finance the President's annual message, and proceeded to discuss the message, in which he said the President tad clearly thrown down the gaunt.et cf free ; trade. There was an attempt, te admitted, at disguise, but so feeble that it ought not to deceive anyone. That message had been received with unbounded joy in Great Brittain. And why not? England had been seeking an American market for years with a persistency which never Usjrged, a courage which never failed, a faith never hopeless, although for a quarter of a century she had seen her aggressions met by strong defences. Bat no w the Fn tiden t ot the United States declared that these defences were to be erased. The British press had at once proceeded to self-congratulations, and to strip off mercilessly the President's disguise. These congratulations, he said, would have continned if the voice of warning had not been heard. The warning was that such English expression of opinion had to be curbed, or the full fruition of English hopes cever would be enjoyed. He quoted from the Pall MaU Gazette to that effect, and said that immediately there had been a transformation. The free trade papers of Great Britain had dropped, at once, their eelf-congratniationa, and had proceeded to congratulate the United States, and to prophesy unbounded prosperity for this country. Great Britain had seemed suddenly to recognize the fact that this country was her daughter, and to evince to her friendship and allection. He declared emphatically that England had never, in f J single instance, evinced any sympathy with this country, and that she never had permitted an opportunity to injure this country to pass unimproved. Be declared that the connsel, the advice, the friendship of Great Britain to any nation in commercial matters had invariably and inevitably resulted In injury to the nation which had accepted it. Ireland was an Instance of that. And yet, said he, Great Britain hoped, aBd the Democratic party expected, the Irish votes next fall for Mr. Cleveland ai tbe Democratic candidate for the Presidency. One of the leading free trade speakers In England had declared years ago t jat tte greatest triumph of Great Britain would te t nbjngatioa of the markets of the Ur ited States. In the promise of thePresidenfB Message they could sea that subjugation right at hand. Great Britain to-day had her markets open to the world, while other countries had their markets partially closed to her. r.he found within her own borders the rercest kind of competition; and her industries were falling off. Her silk industries, for instance, nad been absolutely de?J??X?d FüteeQ sears ago there were 00,000 persons employed in the silk in Jaatfyiu London, and to-day there were only 8.000. Her cotton manufacturers were crippled. Germany and Belgium were seizing ter iron and steel industries, and were already controlling one-half of hsr fereign trade In that line. Her agricaltura! lands were decreasing in value, and from one-thfrd to one-half of her agricultural laborers ware out of employment, while thos who employed only earned from a shilling to one and six pence a day. 6L09A.B Or THZ DEMOCRATS. put Eog'aad heard, too President 1 (ha
United States declare in his annual message that the tariff (the only obstacle to England's possession of the American market) was vicioos, illogical, inequitable, and what wonder that the English people deafened American ears with their cries of "Hear, hear." They saw himadopt ai the slogan of the Democratic party, far the Presidential battle of 1S33, the old fundamental doctrine of free trade, that '-duty is a tax paid by the consumer." What wonder that they bailed Mr. Cleveland as their champion? They saw hlia promise to open to them participation in the American market; and they knew that that participation would start their halting looms and feed their hungry unemployed men and women. What wonder that the approval of the President's message went wringing over the world? Bat, the attitude of the Democratic party of this country was of more importance, practically, than the attitude of Great Britain. Would the Democratic party of the United States, he asked, indorse their new chief? He was strongly inclined to think that it would. He knew that members ot that party had been masquerading for years as reformers, favoring a tariff for revenue only, with incidental protection," or a "tariff for revenue exclusively," and that, in manufacturing districts of Mew Jersey and elsewhere, they masqueraded as mild mannered protectionists. In the South they had had more boldness and less diversity of industry, but, even there, within the last year or two, blinded probably by the Emote of newly built furnaces, there was to be found here and there a friend of protection. The Senator from Missouri, (Vest.) had declared the other day that he it dorn d every line, word and letter in the President's message. The Senator from Indiana (Vcorhees) had In an elaborately vrt pared speech, in perfect coolness, with "no excitement whatever, declared that the drctiines enunciated by the President in his recent message had been the doctrines of the Democratic party tor eighty-seven j ears, and that he indorsed them, THE SOUTHERN ATTITUDE. The Senator from Tennessee (Harris) had also, in a Bpeech made elsewhere, declared that his voice or his vote would never be for the protection or encouragement of any American industry. S3 that he (Frye) was inclined to think that the Democratic party of the country really shared in the President's convictions, and really believed that the tariff was vicious, Illogical and lneouitable, and that a duty was a tax paid by the consamer. And why should not the party so think? The controlling element of the Democratic party had been always in the South, and the Southern wing of the Democratic party controlled it to-day as powerfully and completely as it did before the rebellion, when it compelled the party into championship of slavery. There was not the slightest doubt as to the attitude of the South on this question. When the South went into rebellion, it declared, in the confederate constitution, that no bounty should ever be granted from the treasury, nor any law be enacted to foster or encourage any branch of industry whatever. That had been the solemn declaration of Southern Democrats, and they believed now as they had believed then. Taeäe Southern gentlemen learned very slowly, and forgot as Blowly. and they were blind to-day to the marvels which were being wrought in their midst, under a protective tariff. POSITION OF THE DEMOCRATIC TARTY, The Democratic party has come into power in the House ot representatives in the Forty-eighth Congress, and had held power in that House ever since, except In the Forty-seventh Congress; and it had Illustrated its promotion to power by demanding that the tariff be revised and the whole business of the country disturbed. The Democratic chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means since then had been Fernando Wood, with Randolph Tucker as assistant, and William R. Morrison, all three of them out-and out theorat ical free traders; and to-day Mr. Mills, of Texas, was chairman of that committee, and Mr. Mills was ever a crank in his devotion to free trade, and indorsed the message of the President. The distinguished
Speaker of the House, for whom he had a profound esteem, in his devotion to the principles of free trade, had dared in the last Congress to arrogate to himself almost despotic power, and to declare from his high place that he would recognize no member of the House tomake any motion to cut down the surplus unless it was first submitted to a Democratic caucus. The Democratic Secretary of the Treasury had also joined in the choral song of the free traders, apparently with all his heart. In fir.e. be was satisfied that all the Democratic leaders agreed with the President, except that they had not the President's boldress or honesty. If, however, by cr eating the people in the next election as to their position, they could get a new lease of power and obtain control of the United States Senate, then the people might bid farewell to every principle of protection. p.Errr.LicAKS accept thi issca. The Republicans took up the President's gauntlet of free trade with great pleasure and joined Issue with the Democrats. The Republicans declared that, instead of the tariff being vicious, illogical and inequitable, it increased marvellously the prosperity of this country, and that instead of a duty being a tax paid by the consumer, no instance could be found in which the duty had decreased to the consumer the cost of the article consumed. The Republicans further declared that the future prosperity of this country, for twenty-five years at any rate, depended absolutely on the benign influences of a protective tariff. He admitted that thir country poseessed many advantages over com petiDg nations, but he declared that, with all those advantages, it could not compete In manufacture with the European nations, because it was handicapped in the matter of wages. Oa this point, and oa the additional point that the price on all manufactured articles had diminished under the protective system, Mr. Frye supported his argument with numerous illustrations, many of them drawn from his own observations in Europe. WHAT TO DO WITH THE SURPLUS. As to the surplus, it was Democratic incapacity, he said, which caused it, and now the country had to look oat to see that the same Democratic Incapacity in administering medicine did not give poison and kill the patient. He was as mach against the surplus as the President was, but he was not frightened at it. Ha wjald rather have a surplus than a deficit. If there was any honest purpose to get rid of tbe surplus it could be doae with jat the slighest difficulty. In the first place, some of it ought to be expended wisely in coast defensep, in increasing the navy, in building up the merchant marine, aad in educating the people as proposed in the bill of the Senator from New Hampshire. (Blair.) y OS EEDITING THS REVENUE, The Senator from North Carolina (Vance) had Indicated a way to prevent a surplus; and the Senator from Georgia (Brown) had proposed a way which would do it beyond all manner ot mixtion. That v n nai of all the internal revenue laws. Bat his Democratic friends and their liioa tho distillers, and brewers, and saloon-keepsrs. uau reeii uy uereiopau a wouaerrui regard for temperance, and become great temperance champions, protesting agalast w'uisky uciug maae cneaper. ua he told them that the türnnfrinra ntlmait -.f k country was rapidly cmtilllzing Into the upiuiuu luai iue sooner tne tax oa wauky was repealed, the hotter .i I iiir.ir k principles of temperance would ba aalserved. He could see, however, one or two objections to its repeal, and one of them was, so much revenue cmld not be spared.

to the present duty on sugar, but if the purpose of tbe Democratic party was to destroy the tariff and cripple many and absolutely destroy some of the industries of tbe country, the President's method could of course do that. American workemen could be reduced to'the degradation, almost, of the workmen and working women of Europe. But here was ajsplendid country, perfectly marvelous in its possibilities. Why, he asked, should not this country lead the whole world in pure, lofty civilization, in religion, in education, in temperance, in arts, in literature and in material progress? Who doubted that it would do so, If men only remembered that they were Americana?' Who doubted that it would do so if in the administration of its affairs, and in its legislation, they undertook, in honest purpose, to provide In the beit possible manner for their own people? As Senator Frye concluded there was considerable applause from some of the galleries, which were well filled, and he was congratulated by Beveral Senators, including Senator Morrill, who has been abEent from the Senate Chamber lor some time past, through sickness. Senator Palmer gave notice that he would address the Senate to-morrow on the subject of his bill, to regulate immigration. Senator Blair spoke for an hour oa his educational bill and then the Senate, after an executive session, adjourned. K0MINATI0S8, The President has sent tte following nominations to the Senate: PostmastersJohn W. Hobs, at Washington, D. C. ; John H. Curry, at Nashville, Tenn. Department of Justice John Blair Höge, of the District of Columbia, to be attorney of the United States for the District of Columbia; Marshal McDonald, of the District of Columbia, to be Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The journal of Saturday's proceedings having been read in the House to-day, Mr. Crisp, of Georgia, objected to its approval on the ground that it states that the gentleman from West Virginia (Hogg) entered a motion on Saturday to reconsider the vote by which the previous question was ordered on the Thoebe-Carlisle contest. He thought that there was some mistake about that. The gentleman from West Virginia had enteied a motion to reconsider the vote by which the resolution re-opening the case had been defeated, but the Chair declined to entertain it on the ground that It was not in order. The gentleman bad not entered the motion to reconBider the vote by which the previous question had been ordered. The Speaker pro tern stated that his recollection was in conformity with the statement in the Journal. Mr. Hogg stated that when he moved to reconsider the vote on the substitute, the Speaker had stated that that motion would not be in order until the vote by which the previous question had been ordered was reconsidered. He (Hogg) had said: 'Th-n I enter that motion." Mr. Crisp thereupon withd rew his objection, and the journal was approved. Mr. Crisp demanded the regular order. Mr. Brumm, of Pennsylvania, rising to a question of privilege, sent to the clerk's desk to have read a purported interview with Mr. Crisp published in yesterday's Washington Post, which, he stated, reflected on a large minority in the House. Mr. O'Xeil, of Missouri, suggested that there wes no question of privilege presented, es thecountry'.had already reflected upon the minority part ot the House. The interview was read at length. In it Mr. Crisp criticises the action of the Reftublicans for refusing to tote on the Carisle case. Mr. Dibble, of South Carolina, rising to a point of order, contended that the matter was not a privileged one. Besides this, there was now pending before the House a question ot high privilege affecting the right of a member to his seat, and until that question was settled, the House could not take up and settle a question of lesser privilege. The Chair ruled that the extract did not allege that any member was intluenced by corrupt or improper motiv, and therefore did not present a question of privilege. The Chair was also ready to rule that where there was a question of the highrst privilege pending in the House, he would not entertain any other question of privilege. The Thoebe-Carlisle case was then called up and the H onse proceeded to vote on the majority resolution confirming Carlisle's title to his seat The resolution was adopted yeas 164, nays seven. Messrs. Cannon, Cooper, Davenport, McKenna, Post and Steele, Republicans, voted in the affirmative, and Baker of Illinois, Brewer, Buchanan. Cheadle, Hovey, Kerr and Laidlaw, Republicans, in the negative. Mr. Enloe, of Tennessee, called attention to the fact that Thoebe had had inserted in the Record certain language rejecting upon the Committee on Elections, which be had rot used in his speech noon the floor. He (Enloe) trotested " against Thoebe's right to do this". Mr. Reed, of Maine, suggested that Thoebe was only availing himself of all the privileges of the House. Mr. Enloe moved that the Record be amended no as to make it contain only the language used by Thoebe upon the Moor. Mr. Ryan, of Kansas, suggested that, as the privilege of the floor had been extended to Thoebe, he was entitled to revise his remarks, as it was the custom of members to do so. As there was a disposition shown on the Republican side to make a contest over the motion, Mr. Enloe withdrew it, among derisive laughter from the Republicans. Mr. Enloe Btated, in withdrawing his motion, that he had accomplished his purpose in calling the attention of the House to the fact that Thoebe had taken advantage of the privilege granted him to insert in the Record language which he had not uttered in the House. Under the call of States the following bills and resolutions were introduced and referred: By Mr. Oate s, of Alabama To refund the bonded debt ot the United States 2) per cent ; to reduce the tax on bank notes, and to secure that currency against unnecessary fluctuation by applying the national revenues economically to the payment of the rational debt.

Adjourned.
REPUBLICAN ILLUSIONS. The Sectional Hatred Issue Mot Vet Downed A Feline Peculiarity Outdone. Washington, D. C, January 22. Special. The illusion, of the Republican leaders end press have been dispelled many times, but they will not stay dispelled. There is an old time saying that a cat has Dine lives, but this feline peculiarity is overdone by the tenacious grip of the Republican leaderson the old. worn out issue, the Southern question, or more correctly stated, "Southern hate." The theory that "Error wounded, writhes In pain and dies among her worshipers,' is all right as poetry, but its truth fades to dimness in the presence of the "sectional hate" delusion of Blaine, Sherman and Chandler. All these fellows have to do is to take a little of the sectional hate snuff, aad the smallfry editors ot tbe party sneeze all over the country. For eighteen years the delusion baa been, whistled down the wind and shown to be a sham and a fraud, but it is again on tbe boards with the freshness of a real live itsue, in the hands of the g. o. p. leaders. By it the Republicans sought to defeat the confirmation of Lamar in the Senate. By it they sought to elect Blaine, and by it they hope to defeat Cleveland in the comirg election. It is true we have three years ot uc paralleled prosperity under a Democratic administration ; true that every piediction of the calamity that would crme to the soldier and the country, if Cleveland was elected, was proven false, yet we are again confronted with the same issue. Senator Chandler is just now, with the aid of Sherman and other lights cf the party, engaged in dissecting its putrid carcass in the Senate, with the vain hope of resuscitating the g. o. p., to the amusement of Democrats and the disgust of millions of Republicans who desire a unification cf all sections and fraternal good will throughout every portion of the country, IN A BAD FIX. A Sunday-School Teacher Badly Injured Escaping; from a Poker ttooui. Chicago, January 22 A report that Firdley D. Brown, partner of the wellknown Board of Trade speculator, Robert Lind bloom, bad been thrown out of a window during a quarrel over cards last night at the Century Club, and had fallen sixty feet to the pavement, breaking his back, caused much excitement to-day. The report is not without foundation, but has been much exaggerated. Mr. Brown's injuries consist of a broken ankle and dislocated knee cap. He and C. S. McHenry, an employe of Lind bloom, had promised the latter to let poker and liquor alone while associating with him. In addition Mr. Brown had become a deacon and a Sunday-school teacher. Nevertheless Brown, McHenry and several others were engaged last night In a quiet game of draw poker with champaign accompaniments in the Centary Club, of which P. B. Hutchison, father of the President of the Board of Trade, is the leading spirit, and Mr. Lindbloom is himself a member. During the game, some wsgtbundered at the door for admission, shouting that he was a deputy sheriff. Presumably fearing exposure, McHenry and Brown endeavored to get away by means of the fire escape. McHenry succeeded, but Brown failed to remember that the fire escape did not reach to the ground. He had a fall of twelve feet, was hurriedly put in a cab, and such strenuous efforts made to keep the affair a secret that the story was magnified in the most sensational tragic style. Mr. Lindbloom will withdraw fret the Century, but will not part with Mcüenry or Brown. Second Day's Proceedings, Springfield, Mo., January 20. The courtroom was packed early this morning with the curious, who are unwilling to lose a word of the Cora Lee case. I teres t seems fully as keen as on tbe first day of tbe first trial. All available space near and inside tbe bar is occupied by women, while one is fortunate to find standing room in the rear. First witness called to tbe stand was Charley Graham. He testified substantially as follows: Was born in Fort Wayne, Ind.; lived there nine years and went to Elgin, 111.; saw Cora Lee soon after going to Elgin; she stayed at their house a week, and went to LaPorte, Ind.; afterwards saw her again la Elgin; she lived with Mrs. Molloy, a few blocks from Graham's home; Graham (bis father) wasbookkeper for a publishing company; his father often visited Molloy 's; saw him kiss Cora good bye when leaving. Had eeen Cora and Mrs. Molloy sit in his lap frequently. Lived at Elgin two years, and weDt to Washington, Kansas. Saw Cora at Mrs. Molloy 's house in Washington; lived there from fall to spring. Graham was manager of Morning t Day, of Reform, and Cora worked in the office. His mother (Sarah Graham) managed the household. Had eeen Graham and Cora in bed together after Sarah hsd gone down stairs in the morning; taw Mrs. Molloy in bed with Graham twice. Saw all three in bed together at Molloy farm. The witness then told about going to Springfield, Mo., and mentioned that Cera had asked him if his mother (the victim of the murder) had come wuh him. Remembered seeing some man going to the well February 25. Cora said aometbiPKlat tbat time about having a Piniol. ßiiO said ha supposed (ho men
were drunk and wanted to take him and Roy away. She was excited, and went down to the gate, carrying the pistol under her apron. When the body was found Cora went to the well, bat did not want the children to go. Witness never saw body. " 8aw Cora 3Ld Etta Molloy burning letters written by Cora to Graham. Cross-examined, elicited nothing of interest apart from tbe foregoing, save that Graham had told witness on night of arrival at Springfield from St. Louis that he (Graham) and Sarah would walk to Molloy farm that night. That the trunk was left at the residence of Rev. J. C. Plumb, of North Springfield. That when witness and Roy were being taken to Molloy farm, Graham tcld them to pay they last saw their mother in St. Louis. That be further told them this was not true; tbat the wss In Pierce City; that he owned half the Molloy farm, and as soon as he could get it all he wonld send for her and send Cora and Mrs. Molloy away. That Graham would often remind him not to tell where his mother was. That he had told witness of meeting Sarah in Springfield and was asked why the latter and Roy were not taken to see her; said he did not know she was going to be there. Several other witnesses testified as to suspicious conduct of Cora Lee, both before and after the murder.
BEE-KEEPERS' SXPERIENCE. Best Methods of Producing Iloney Discussed by the Stae Association, Yesterday morning's session of the Bee Keepers' Association opened with a discussion led by Mr. C. Nichols on "Does Bee Keeping Pay in Indiana?"' His impression was that it most certainly did pay, and he said it micht just as well be asked: "Does Farming Pay?" Honey could be produced most certainly at six cents per pound. The subject was thoroughly considered by members, many of whom said that locality bad a good deal to do with it. This was a good locality. Others said tbat bee keeping would not pay unless it received constant attention. Mr. Sturwold introduced the subject: "The Best Location for Bees." He stated that where bass wood was, white clover predominated, and tbat white clover was the best food for bees. A locality of this kind would be most excellent. The best location for a farmer was on the east side of a woods, as it afforded protection in spring to the bees. Mr. Davis advanced the theory that bees live their time out and then die, and that it is not the cold entirely that kills them. On the question, "Should Women Keep Bees and Join the Association," Mr. Thompson was in favor of women doing anything they desired. He thought the housewife should be able to attend to the hives and understand the nature of tte bees, for the husband could not always be there, and then women could do the delicate work much better. "Do A phhides alone produce honey de w ?" This produced a prolonged discussion, tbe general purport of the answers being in tbe affirmative. Next came a discussion of the question, "Which is the Best Honey, that from the Old Combs or that from the New?" Mr. Mutt states that the honey from the old combs wss certainly the best, that he had kept it for years, uncapped, and that an elegant flavor of the honey depended upon tte source it come from. Some, he Baid, thought that the longer honey remained in the hive tho better it was, but he disagreed, saying it was purely a matter of taste. "Marketing Honey." This was discussed very thoroughly. Comb honey, it was agreed, was always preferred on account of fine flavor and looks. The extracted honey was often B9ed in place of tyrups. At the close of the session a resolution was ofltred, .indorsing the reflations of the Sxate Horticultural Society, providing for the Bupport of the 8 ate library; that a delegate be appointed to cd operate with the delegates from other societies to present this matter to the Legislature. In the ' afternoon session "Wintering" was the main topic, and it was discussed thoroughly, all the members giving their opinions and experiences. It was the greatest trouble of bee keepers, it was said, to preserve tbe lives of their bees through the winter. This was caused largely by want of water. Mr. Bull said that he gave several colonies water through a division bosrd feeder, and found this an excellent way of both feeding them and giving the water, thus keeping them much more quiet than other ways. The want of water caused djEtnUry and death, Tbe next on the programme was the election cf the following-named officers for tbe enfcuirgyeai: President Dr. Collins, MatUville. Vice-prebldent Wickliff Mason, Fillmore. Bccretaiy-Gcorge C. Thompton, öouthport. Treasurer ilrs. Cassandra Bobbins, city. Discussions were had on several other questions of interest to the members, being brought out by Impromptu questions, and a general conversation followed. At the close of the sest ion the following resolutions were read and adopted unanimously by a rising vote: Resolved. That it is tbe opinion of the Indiana Pee Keepers' Association that bees do not puncture grapes. Resolved, That the Society of Indiana Bee Keepers favors the holding of Farmers' Institutes in the various districts during the next sixty days, and pledges its support to tbe National Board of Agriculture in the work tbat is now going on In the organization and conducting of Baid institutes. The next meeting will be held at the call of the Executive Committee, consisting of the Presi dent, Secretary and Treasurer. Everybody Knows It, Troy Telegram. "Yes," said an old and experienced hotel clerk yesterday. "I can tell a bride and groom at a glance. For some reason or other they all seem ashamed to have it known that they are newly married, and they all try to give the impression that they are comparatively old stagers, as it were, but it's no use wivh me. I smile when I see their old trunks to come with brand new ones, you know, would be to advertise the fact that they had just been wedded and I laugh outright when I receive a letter from a bridegroom, saying, 'Myself and wife will be at your house on Wednesday night between 12 and 1 o'clock. Our luggege will arrive during the afternoon, but we will not arrive ourselves until after the theatre.' Then I watch and see them come in with a bundle of umbrellas and capes, a hat box, and a couple of valises which I have no hesitancy, of course, in believing that they took to the play with them. How do I tell a bride andgroom? Well there's something about the way they look at each other when they are together, and when the newly married man is by himself I can tell by the manner in which he uses the two words 'my wife.' He's not used to the combination, and they sound as unnatural to me as they do to himself. Tbe Panama Canal. London, January 23.

In any case the work has rescbed such a point that it ought not to be abandoned, and, therefore. France, rather than effer obstruction, ought to assist as far as possible in its completion. M.

IRISH NEWS NOTES. William 0'Br:a Released from JailMore Arrests Made. DrBLix, January 20. Mr. William O'Brien, M. P., and editor of United Ireland, who has been confined in prison since October cist, was released from Tallamore jail to-day. He proceeded to the priest's house in Tullamore, followed by a large crowd, which cheered him repeatedly. There was no disorder. Mr. William O'Brien arrived in this city this evening. He was greeted at the railway station by an immense crowd, which included rrany members of Parliament and a large number of priests. On allghticg from the train he entered the Lord Mayor'ican-ige and was driven to a hotel, followed by a long procession. Toe paraders carried torches, and marched to the music of Eeveral bands. Many houses along the rente were brilliantly illumina'ed, and bonfires blazed in all puts of the town. On arriving at the hotel Mr, O'Brien made a brief speech. His voice was very hoarse. He said he rejoiced that in spite of the effort of Mr. Balfour the Irish were stronger than ever. Although the English were slow in joining them, they would be slow in deserting them. Mr. O'Brien received many congratulatory telegrams in the course of the day. some comirg from America. In several Irish towns garlands were hastily hung across the streets in honor ot Mr. O'Brien, and in the evening there were processians, illuminations, etc. At a meeting in Tallamore, to day, Mr. O'Brien Baid that he had the greatest difficulty to find adequate words with which to express his gratitude for the kindness of his countrymen, more especially Messrs. Moorheed and Egaa, without whose assistance in his lonely duel with the jail authorities they would likely have had a much different affair to celebrate today. Referring to Mr. Blunt's charges against Mr. Balfour, be said he had heard them from Mr. Blunt himself before there had been any liklihood thatMr. Blunt would be avictim. It was because he (O'Brien) had that statement in his mind that he told Moorehead andEganin the beginning that he believed he had bean brought to prison to be murdered; for he knew that Blunt would let his hand wither in fire before he would tell a lie. He confessed that, though he kept a good face, he went to prison with the perfect conviction that he would never emerge alive. Apart from Blunt's revelations, he thought they had a right to infer the wont from Balfour's secrecy in immuring them in what he supposed would turn out to be the Tullamore catacombs. It was only fair, however, to say that the prison officials performed their odious duties with the least possible harshness. The Irish would not resort to outrage, but would follow Parnell and Gladstone, trusting to the Democracy of Great Britain tomake Ireland a Nation. Mr. O'Brien's looks denote that bis constitution is Fluttered, and his physicians insist that he should go to the South of France for the benefit of his health. The people of Tullamore have presented Mr. O'Brien with aa address in which they say tbat they are indifferent to the coercion law, but that Mr. Balf jur's execution of tbe law is brutal and a disgrace to the Government. Justice Andrews, of the Exchequer Court, has granted a demand made in behalf of Mr. Wilfried Blount for the proelection of certain documents concerning the Woodford aflair, which will bs med in an action of Mr. Blount against Chief Secretary Balfour. Mr. Bjrne, counsel for the Crowr, opposed the demand on the ground trat tbe documents were privilegai. Mr. Blane, member of Parliament tor SonthArmagh.was arrested at Armv?b, and at tbe same time Father McFadden was laken into custody. Blane was comnitted for trial on a charge of making seioho inciting the tenants to resist the authorities. The Ulster Land Committee, at a meeting in Belfast, to-day, adopted resolutions approving tbe compulsory abolition of dual ownership of land and protesting against the exclusion of Ireland from the benefits of the coming local Government bill. Father McFadden, of Gweedore, was arrested at Armagh for taking part in the opposition to the eviction. He wai committed for trial on a charge of holding anti-landlord and antl police msstin. He was, removed, in company with Mr. 21ahe, to tte jail at Donegal. Upon the arrival Ci Father McFadJfU at Londonderry the police escorting hini were stoned by an excited mob and several were injured. A detective was hit on tbe bead and is reported to be suffering from concussion of the brain. London, January 20 Mr, Evelya, the retiring Member of Parliament for Deptford, who recently left the Conservative party end became a Glad3tonisn, advises the electors of Deptford to vote for Mr. Wilfrid Blount as their repreaentatiye ia the House of Commons. Dublin, January 20. Mr. Hayden, editor of the Westmeath Examiner, has been again arrested on the charge of using saditicuB larguage. Economy. San Francisco Chronicle, I doubt if there is any kind of emotion that can drjwn the deep-sealed passion tor economy in some people. Economy is a thing that has been .mistaken for every virtue in its turn. Economy is the only vice of most millionaires, the only virtue of mofct poor men. Human nature is a queer thing any way. It was at a watering place in Europe, and a terrible fire had occured where many lives were lost. Among the lost was a yoHDg and pietty lady, whose identity was established by a letter from her sweetheart, found in her pocket. There happened to be in the place a gentleman who knew the sweetheart, and ibe duty fell upon him of notifying him of the aad event. He wrote in as delicate a way as possible, and sent, of course, his condolences. By return post he received a letter. It was T.ild, incoherent, full of heart-breaking ejaculations: "My dear friend, I am mad with grief. I can not realize the terrible news. Do, dear friend, do all that I would do. Cover her grave with flowers, put over it aa expressive a marble monument as you can get ; spare no effort, dear boy, to show what I feel. There is nothing too beautiful, too good for her.
