THE PACIFIC ROADS.

Hcommendationß of Committee <rfTi>«>>lry —Mejority and Minority fteparti. ’ The following is a synopsis o! the reports on the Pacific roads, which will be submitted to Congress. The majority report recommends: That the time of payment of the debt due the Government be extended for fifty years, but that the road shall execute a forma! mortgage to the Government, which new has only p statutory lien; that the debt be funded at 3 per cent, per annum, pa/able semiannually directly into the United States Treasury, but that the roads shall have the privilege of taking up any part of the debt in advance; that the President shall be empowered to appoint one trustee .xfid -the roads another, who shall have control of the investment of the sinking fund and other matters; that the roads shall provide for a sinking fund'of 1 per c eenV annually upon the t,Qtal amonnt of- the debt to the Government for ten years, and that the trustees shall then provide for the proper per centum of payments to the sinking fund so that the debts shall be paid by it at maturity; that the boards of directors of the two roads shall consent and agree that the law department of, the United States shall be vested with power to bring any suit, criminal or civil, in behalf of the roads.

He says'that it is now not a question of payulent of debt to the Government, but of punishment of; these criminals. He recommends, as a preliminary step, z tbet yffe Goverpqaeny shall institute suit ' in Jme courts tfr" have the bftth roads forfeited, and for the appoint/ment of a receiver. He suggests that the the forfeiture of charter, shall be offered for sale, and h£Heyes that they will be bought M by I Stockholders- The minority report is not accompanied by a bill for Cpfigress.

THAT GOOD OLD MAN.

'■Triji to the Continent—-Cheered at Oue Place—Hooted at Another. Mr. Gladstone arrived at Dover Tuesday, on his way to the continent. A small crowd assembled at the depot. Mr. greeted with hoots. A number of Toughs outside the depot threw snow-balls at him,none of which, however, struck him. A delegation of Kentish Liberals waited upon him at the Town Hall and presented.him with an address. Mr. Gladstone, replying to the address, referred to the uncertain character of I Lord Salisbury’s declaration in reference to fair trade and said they indicated, as fat as the majority in ‘Parliament is concerned, that free trade is insecure. He relied upon the masses of the people to oppose i a return to protectign The Coming session did not promise -well for the country. If it were true that the great measure of the session —a local government bill—wetild not be introduced until April, th# government would not inflct an uandisguised mockery on the country. The last was a dark session, but this would be darker unless something was done to alleviate the situation in Ireland. The darkest blot upon Parliament was the act new in operation effecting the •civil rights of the Irish. The Liberals •were chargee »with interfering with the administration of the law. What he was really trying to do was to retard the Government’s destructive policy of perversion of the law. It w« well for them that they-were on the •right side, of the channel. If the Christian Knowledge Society in seeking to promot? justice, mercy and truth, were to publish in Ireland a book applying thoa> principles U that unhappy country, ffhey wouldibe subject to criminal prosecution. 'Lord Salisbury talked about dhe consolidation of the Empire while pursuing a policy of national disruption. How, the speaker asked, .oonld that he a policy of consolidation, which disregarded eenturies of national tradition and opposed <the will of four out of five millions of Irish people? Ireland only continued within the bounds of moderation because she knew that she bad the sympathy of friends in England. So long as her moderation continued,so long would the sympathy be continued. Not long, the speaker said, could any government face a unanimous people. With the single exception of the Belfast Council, all the election authorities sided with home rule. The Foreign Import Government stood alone. The Liberals’ terms of minority in Parliament would cease at the first election. Their appeal lay "with the country.

EUROPEAN GER KALS.

Ay-Review of th< Crop for 1887-India's . . Product and Export h. "Edmund Jnescri. Consul-General at Vienna, Kas transmitted to the Department of State certain data gathered from the 'reports of the seed and grain convention, held in-that city, relative to the condition of European cereal crops. IjffAus-tria-Hnngary tbeyieldfof wheamor the year 1887 is estimated at 107,000,000 bushels, an increase of nearly 25 per cent, over the average field of that •country, while 125,000,06<r bushels is the estimate yield of rye, also a considerable increase. In Russia, rye has yielded an [average •crop, barley is of exellent quality, but the crop of oats is poor, an d the prospect of potatoes is not very promising. In the Scandinavian countries the average amount of wheat is produced, but rye and oats fall far below the average. > The wheat crop of Italy is poor and the import demand of the country for the cereal will amount to about 30,000,006. The corn crop its about average, and the country will have a surplus for export. The wheat crops of Switzerland and Holland are above the average, while that es northern Russia is below. The wheatcrop of France is large, but a considerable quantity of wheat must be imported toaneet the home demand, as the quantity^in store is very limited. In Great Britain and Ireland an average wheat crop is expected. The total yield is estimated at from 9,500,000 to 10,000,000 quarters, so that after deducting th® seed, 8,500,000 to 9,000,000 quarters will be left for home consumption, and the importation -of from 16,500,000 to 17,000,006 quarters will be required. The English wheat in store is believed to be very nearly exhausted, and the'foreign wheat in store in England is quite limited. In British India the yield of wheat for 1887 is estimated at 6,390,695 tons. From January 1 to June 30, 1687, British India exported to Europe 9,679,516 hundred weight of wheat. The exportation of certain qualities of hops from Europe to the United Statas has of late increased to a considerable extent. The

increase from Austria-Hungary alone during the year 1886 over the . previous year amounted in declared value to $66, 257. The total amount of hops exported from Austria-Hungary to the United States in. 1886 amounted in declared value alone to $188,915. It is with wits as with razors, which are never so apt to cut those they are employed on as when they have lost their edge.

In every part of the world the., event was recognized with appropriate ceremonies. At Rome tb,s crowning feature of the Pope’s jubilee, the celebration of poptificial high mass at St. Peters, the grandest of churches, was a most magnificent spectacle, and the arrapgendents throughout were strictly adh«4ed to. At a very early hour-St. Peter’s square was jammed with peoplg*-awaiting the opening of the catiwrfral, and whe i. finally the vast edifice Was thrown open a constant tide o| humanity poured into it until thp hpHding was literally pack ed. The Rope entered, the cathedraJ at 8:30o’clock, preceded by the cardinals in probeesion. At-; his Holiness appeared the vast congregation broke forth in shouts of greeting which lasted some minutes. The mass and its accompanying music were grandly and deeply impressive; and many were profoundly affected. .11 o’clock the Holy Father withdrew /from the cathedral, again there arose an almost endless shout of vivas, accompanied by waving of h*ts anffhandkerchiefs, clapping of hands and other manifestations of affection which continued long after hp nad disappeared. Sixty thousand tickets of admission were issued, / iting Humbert* received a deputation^?ltalian Deputies in the afternoon, expressed to | his great satisfaction at the smoothness with which tbb ceremonies of thte Pope’s jubilee, apd especially the exercises at St. Peter’s, had passed 6ff. This fact, he deglared, was the vety best proof of the scope’s emire liberty. Forly-eight qArdinals anfi/%3$ archbishops and bibhoi>s were presdnAt the mass. an,d it is there were 30,000 persons in theaudience. The Pope prayed for a time in his private chapel, and the homage' of the epfirt' cardinals in the sala assuming the sacerdotal vestments the Pope was overcome with emotion, and Jkinted. Strong saba were administered, turned to/tonsciousness. He cehded the borne on the #hpfiid#!r'B attended by |he djJathedral. Just before vested for the altar he fiMwred, remaining unconscious a few minutes. The mass 7 occupied twpnty-eight minutes.' After tion the Pope agai jxjleated Jjiimself in gestatorial Was borne completely aFOd|ptthe altar to capella del sacrerq tie offered up a prayer During the wore the triple rr i! d to him bv Emperor ; 8 of the line and a large Jffimber of gendarmerie regulated the Tnovemente of the crowd at the Cathedral and a thousand policemen in plain clothes were stationed inside the edifice. A few ladies fainted in the crush, but no accident occurred. In the chapel the columns and pilasters were hung with red damask. The statue of St. Peter was clothed in pontifical garments, with a tiarra on the head. The orchestra included the famous ancient silver trumpets. Many members of the Nobility were present. The Pope wore a pastoral ring presented by the Austrian archdukes. His tiara was covered with a thousand pearls. The chalice used by his Holiness was the gift of the King of Portugal, and the golden plate used in the service was a present from Queen Victoria.

Big Strike Averted. A strike which promised serious consequences has just be»n averted on the Philadelphia A Reading road. Tne men at Port Richmond refus ed to load non union barges, whereupon thev were discharged. Tne railroad men, by order of the Knights of Labor, then struck and for three days not a freight train was moved. On Tuesday, however, the company agreed to an arbitration of their differences, and the men returned to work. Sixty thousand men would have been involved. President Austin Corbin has sent a

letter to A. A. McLeod, general manager of the Philadelphia & Reading, with directions to communicate it to all Reading employes. After thanking the men who "stood by the road, the letter says a time has now come when they must decide between their duty to the road and their obedience to the Knights of Labor. Men who stand by the road will have employment at reasonable hours and good pay. Those whb do not will not be allowed on the road under any circumstances. “We do not object to labor organizations, but no dictation by such bodies will be allowed. New men will not be discharged from the company’s service to make room for strikers. There has never been a question of arbitration in this matter, merely whether the company shall be allowed to control its property or not., From now on every wheel turned on the Reading system shall be turned on the orders of that company, and under those of no one else.” °. - It is the middle-aged man whose increasing girth tells him what the waist of time is.

Ttdir' is partlv due to the fa t that nqf so muA linen is used, owing to the great cheapening in Cotton manufacture,as was the case in framer times and partly,also because,.the use of brown linen for ladies!' dresses has* Ceased, through change of association, principally through great reaction, following immense expansions in the wake of the American war and the cotton famine consequent thereto. ?In regard to woolen industries, the consul notes the following current ways: For men, from 12s. to 14a.

ARGENTINE WOOL.

Amount Shipped from that Re public Decreasing, and the Why of It. Consul Baker, in a report to the De partment of State in regard to the wool production of the Argentine Republic, says the amount of wools shipped from there to the United States annually is becoming less. The cause of this, he says, is in a great part due to the fact that United States tariff unintentionally, but very unjustly, discriminates against such wools from the Argentine Republic in favor of those from Australia, New Zealand, etc., our system of computing the duties making no allowance whatever for the fact that the dirt and grease on the wools of the Ar gen tine Republic is fully 70 per cent, greater than tnose of the former countries, this excess of dirt and grease being required to pay the full tariff rates for wool. The only wools from the Argentine Republic, which it is now possible to ship under our tariff, are the “criolta,” or long carpet wools of the Province of Cordoba, which are’shipped from Rosario, and which amount te about 10,000,000 pounds annually.

J Don’t Like Mr. Bandall. The Andrew Jackson League, of Chicago, at a meeting, Wednesday evening, adopted a resolution requesting Speaker ’ Carlisle not to appoint Samuel J.
