TARIFF FOR CAMPAIGN
Is tho "Way Dalzell Sizes Up the
Kind That Democrats Prefer,
IN HIS REPORT OF THE MINORITY
Of the Ways and Means Committee He
Euls It Into the Majority.
BIG DAMAGES DEMANDED BT SAILORS
"Washington, March L The report of
the Kepublican minority of the "Ways and
Means Committee against the bill placing
cotton bagging, cotton ties and machinery
for manufacturing the same upon the free
list has been prepared by Mr. Dalzell, of
Pennsylvania, and filed with the committee.
Of cotton bagging the report says: "This
manufacture was created by a protective
tarifi policy, and is dependent upon the
same polioy for its preservation, because of
the difference between the rates of wages
paid here and abroad, and for other reasons.
It is perfectly apparent that any reduction
of the duty below the protection point
would be a serious blow to the laborers of
this country employed in this industry.
There are now invested in this industry in
this country over f 8,000,000. There are 16
mills in the 'United States conducting busi
ness independently of each other and in full
competition. There is no combination to
dominate the product or fix prices, or for
any purpose, between them. The policy of
Erotection to the cotton bagging industry
as resulted in building up an American
manufacture sufficient in extent to supply
the home market, thus benefiting home cap
ital and home labor, and at the same time
has lowered prices to the consumer.
No Time to Chance the Policj.
"Why now change that policy? To drive
our own manufacturers from the field is to
give the domination of our markets to
foreign manufacturers who will then dictate
prices at will. To encourage home manu
facture is to encourage competition, as ex
perience shows, and thus to reduce prices to
a minimum."
In regard to cotton ties the report says:
"The measure recommended by the majority
proposes to admit cotton ties free, but to
preserve the duty on 'barrel hoops of iron
or stceL No reason has been given for
making snch distinction, and it is as diffi
cult to imagine any as it is to imagine why
either should be put on the free list. "Why
a crude article of iron 01 steel should be
subject to duty, and a more finished product,
of which the crude article is the raw
material, should come in free, is one of
those things difficult to be understood.
Such an illogical proposition could only
come from the advocates of a policy whicn
would deal in spots with a great measure of
legislation which, whether it be good or
bad, is at least built consistently upon a
plan.
Law-Slaking for the Campaign.
"Nothing more mischievous can be con
ceived, and not even the necessity of mak
ing laws for campaigning purposes of the
Democratic party, irrespective of the needs
of the country, can justify such action. Nor
will the proposed measure result in the ad
mission free of cotton ties only. Under the
language of the proposed law, hoop or band
iron or steel of any and all sizes to the di
mensions of wagon tires, and even to the
kind of iron or steel that might be made
into blooms, will come in without payment
of duty."
The minority also combats the proposi
tion to place machinery for manufacturing
cotton ties and cotton bagging on the free
list. "No reason has been suggested bv the
majority," says the report, "for providing
one kind of legislation for machinery re
lating to the cotton industry and another
for all kinds of machinery; and we are sat
isfied, therefore, to dismiss this part of the
bill with the remark only that it is of a
piece with what seems to be the mischiev
ous policy of the majority, to deal with
tariff legislation in spots and without re
gard to consistency."

PORTRAIT OP WASHINGTON.
Discovery on the Isle of Man of One of the
Famous Stuart Kepllcas A Singular
Story ol the Disappearance of a Por
trait of the Father of Hli Country.
Washington, March 1. Consul Gen
eral Sherman, of Liverpool, informed the
State Department of the discovery on the
Isle of Man of a portrait of Washington,
believed to be one of the three replicas by
Gilbert Stuart, from his original painting
for the Marquis of Lansdowne, and also
believed to be the identical portrait
that was intended for the Executive man
sion. The portrait is owned by Mr. William
Burrows, and is for sale at the price of
$1,000. The size of the canvas is 20x13
inches. It appears to have been well pre
served. A photograph of the portrait ac
companying the dispatch shows it to be a
Stuart beyond any reasonable doubt, and
extracts irom Block and TFWta and from the
WhilthaU Seviea give an interesting account
of the history of the portrait. Slack and
TTTtfksays:
"One of the most singular stories m tho
annals of art is the theft and disappearance
of an authentic full-length portrait of
George Washington, painted by, Gilbert
Stuart, the friend and pupil of West. This
long missing portrait was one of three
replicas made oy Stuart from the well
known original painted to the commission
ot the celebrated Marquis of Lans
do wne. That original and two of the copies
are well and clearly accounted for, but the
third disappsared in the following manner,
and has never since been heard of: The
portrait was painted for Mr. Gardiner
Baker, of New York, an active member of
the Society of St. Tammany, which, at his
suggestion, established a museum. This
museum was, in 1795, made over to Baker,
who added, among other attractions, the
full-length portrait of the General. In 1798
he appears to have gone to Boston to exhibit
the picture, but, dying there of yellow
feverj the portrait went to a Mr. Laing in
satisfaction of a claim. By and by the
committee charged with furnishing the
President's house at Washington bought
the picture, which was intrusted to
one "Winstanley to pack and deliver.
"Winstanley, however, copied the Stuart,
delivered the copy, and fled to England
with the original. Stuart himself was the
first to discover and denounce the fraud, but
though he repudiated the canvas that still
hangs in the White House, and though the
evidence against it is overwhelming, patri
otic citizens of the States still believe it to
be the genuine portrait repeated by Stuart
himself from the Lansdowne full length,
What became of the genuine work stolen by
Winstanley, painter and thief?
"Well, there is considerable reason to be
lieve that it is now in the possession of
Mr. William Burrows, a picture dealer,
Douglas, Isle of Man. Some time ago there
was a sale at Mount Vernon, in that island
(the name, it will be remembered.of Wash
ington's home), in consequence of the death
of Mrs. Tobin Harrison, who was a Mrs.
Harcock (having been twice married) and
the daughter of one Breed, who formerly
owned Breed Island, in Boston harbor,
whose name is immortalized in the battle of
Breed's Hill, and who settled in the Isle of
Man early in the century. Among a variety
of pictures disposed of at the aforesaid sale
was a fine full length in oil of George
Washington and a capital impression of an
engraving which Heath made from the
Lansdowne portrait, thus robbing Stuart of
his copvright, and leading to probably the
first and certainly the bitterest dispute on
record concerning American and English
artistic rights. Mr. Burrows bought all the
pictures at the sale, and the print, the mas
terly style of the painting, and its all but
complete identity with the engraving, led
him to conclude that he has acquired a gen
uine Stuart Washington.
"Now the experts all agree that It is not
only a genuine Stuart, but a very fine speci
men, in point alike of handling, color, de
sign, and (not less important) of preserva
tion. "Finally there is the question of identity.
Space forbids such a lengthy statement as
could be made of the facts; but, breifly, the
consideration in favor of this being the
replica originally intended for the White
House are these:
"Winstanley came to England, presuma
bly with the portrait, about the same time
as Breed. It is pretty certain that Win
stanley stole the picture to sell. It is not
unlikely that he sold it to Breed, Heath's
engravrng(purchased probably at the time
of publication) being in the bedroom
at Mount Vernon. This Isle of
Man picture is a genuine Stuart, and ob
viously a careful replica on a smaller scale
of the Lansdowne portrait. It supplies in
all essential points, apparently, the missing
full length. It, therefore, this is not the
White House portrait, then Stuart painted
another fu)l length, hitherto unrecorded, or
there was a painter in exactly Stuart's man
ner, and who forged his signature, about
whose history we know nothing."

HEW APPLICATIONS OF ELECTBICITX
rwaiTTXx roa Trot Dtsr atch. i
The English electrical papers have de
voted considerable space to the consideration
of Tesla's recent lecture in London, and dis
cuss freely the possibilities arising out of
the experiments shown. First of these pos
sibilities is the supersession of the incan
descent lamp. Since it is possible by
means of conducting plates and electric cur
rents of the proper description to produce
such a condition in a room that a rarified
tube brought into it becomes self-luminous,
the next step will be the ability to bring
the atmosphere of the room itself to a state
of luminosity similar to the effects of sun
light. Thiss only in line with Tesla's idea,
which seems to be well founded, that phos
phorescence can be produced in all substan
ces provided currents of sufficient frequency
and sufficiently high potential are em
ployed. In the latter case the air need not
be exhausted; given a sufficiently high ini
tial velocity of the molecufes, they will
bombard the substance to be incandesced
fast enough to raise the surface to the glow
ing stage. Thus we may look forward to
the time when we, or if not we ourselves,
our children will produce artificial light by
direct vibrations of the ether, caused by
electrical energy.
Another and most, important conclusion
to be drawn from these memorable experi
ments is the fact that currents of extremely
high potential and frequency do not affect
the human body at all Mr. Tesla received
a current of perhaps, 50,000 volts, or more,
with perfect immunity; and this is certainly
in direct contradiction to the prevailing
theory that the higher the potential the
more fatal are the effects of the current.
The conclusion drawn from this highly im
portant fact is that a close analogy exists
between the physiological effects of heat
and light rays and those of electrical
Tibratioas. Heat and light are now
universally admitted to be vibrations
of that all-pervading matter, the
ether. It depends upon the degree of
velocity of these vibrations whether our
senses perceive them in the form of heat or
light.. Ether vibrations of a less rate of
veocity manifest themselves as heat, those
of a higher rate as light. It is a well
known fact that our body cannot resist those
vibrations of a lower rate of velocity called
heat, while it is not affected at all by those
vibrations of higher speed called light. And
thus it seems to be with electrical vibra
tions; a current of 2,000 volts, or even less,
will kill a man, while one of 20 times the
pressure will not afiect him in the least
The immense importance attaching to
this observation will be seen when it is re
membered that currents of very high poten
tial and frequency are destined to play a
leading part in the industrial methods of
the future, not only for the pnrposes of
lighting, but also for those of power trans
mission, and if such currents have to be
used it is a great comiort to know that they
are absolutely safe.
Another Natural Telephone.
A companion story to that which was re
cently told in the electrical papers of a nat
ural telephone on the sides of two mount
ains several miles apart comes from San
Bernardino county. Close by the town ol
Colton Is a peculiar hill of solid marble,
known as Slover Mountain. Eight or ten
miles distant is the range called the
Bov Spring Mountains. The story goes
that one day a hunter was climb
ing these mountains and stop
ping to Test for a few minutes, he heard the
sound of human voices, apparently coming
from the clear atmosphere. He looked all
around, but there was no sign of anyone.
The conversation continued, and without
knowing why, he began to take part in it.
The unknown voice immediately responded
in a tone of astonishment, and after a few
words of inquiry and explanation the Box
Springs hunter learned that he was actually
conversing in an ordinary tone of voice with
persons on Slover Mountain, at least eight
miles distant The conversationalists then
began to experiment by trying their voices
at different levels . up and down the moun
tain, but.they found that the phenomenon
was apparent only at one particular point
This remarkable fact was tested subse
quently a number of times with success, but
finally, after a severe earthquake, it was
found that the natural telephone no longer
existed.
Filaments From the Bice Plant.
It is well known that Edison tried sev
eral hundred kinds of bamboo before he
found the exact kind suitable for the fila
ment of his incandescent htmp, and this
species is only to be found in the heart of
Japan. If a recent discovery fulfills its
promise a material possessing the desirable
qualities of long life with the capacity of
high incandescence can be found much
nearer home, in the "rice plant" The
roots of the kind known as the "Italian"
seem best adapted. This root is of suitable
size and length for the purpose, and re
quires but little shaping. It is remarkably
dense and iree from pores and possesses
great toughness, combined with flexibility,
so that it can be readily molded to any de
sired shape without in the least injuring its
texture.
Hint for the Horticulturist
A paragraph Jias been briskly going tho
round of the papers describing how a Paris
electrician has succeeded by means of bat
teries in forcing violets. The first bunch,
it is said, was raised in four hours, at the
end of which time it was plucked, tied with
a ribbon and sent to the ex-Emperor of
France. Whatever truth there may be in
this particular story, there is no doubt that
very remarkable developments in electrical
horticulture will shortly be made. It has
been established beyond question that elec
tricity is a quickener ot all kinds of vege
tation and there is every reason to believe
electric culture of violets should be a pay
ing investment

DISPATCH WEDNESDAY,
NO DISCRIMINATION
Agalast the United States to Be Shown
Hereafter on Any of the Canadian
Canals An Important Result of the
Beoent Conference at Washington. .
Ottawa, Ont., March 1 Special. One
of the subjects of international dispute for
several years past has been the alleged dis
crimination against the United States by
the Canadian Government in the use of the
Dominion canals. The Dispatch cor
respondent learns that as one of,
the . important ' results of the
recent conference at Washington the Do
minion authorities have yielded to the views
hitherto held by the United States Govern
ment, and against which they have con
tended that such discrimination existed, and
the objectionable regulations enforced by
the Dominion authorities' which handi
capped the citizens'of the United States in
the use of the Dominion canals will not be
reimposed this season.
The treaty of Washington provides that
citizens of the United States shall enjoy the
use of the Welland and St Lawrence canals
on terms ot equality with the inhabitants of
Canada. Until now Canadian authorities
have held that in the enjoyment of this
privilege the citizens ot the United States
were not! restricted, as vessels of both
nationalities of Western ports leaving Du
luth with a load of grain receive the usual
rebate of 18 cents per ton allowed on vessels
carrying their cargo through to Montreal.
That discrimination existed, however,
lies in the fact that vessels of heavy draft
have to lighten cargo at Kingston, although
the same privilege is not allowed at points
on the opposite shore or American side of
the lake at Ogdenjburg or other American
port, which it is now admitted is a discrim
ination against American vessels and Amer
ican ports, as in the case of an American
vesseUightening in Kingston it would be a
violation of the coasting regulations to pro
ceed to Montreal, which would necessitate
her stopping at two Canadian ports without
an intervening entry at an American port

St Louis Prohibitionists Think Their Con
vention Too Dear at S5,000.
St. Louis, March 1. The Prohibitionists
do not promise to be beaten out of f 5,500 by
the National Committee of that party; at
least, such was the sense of a meeting of
leading Prohibitionists held last evening.
It was decided in Chicago, at a meeting of
the National Committee of the Prohibition
party, that the National convention should
be held in St Louis, June 29. Chairman
Dickie, of the Prohibition party, was in this
city last week, and while here astonished his
local breathren by telling them that he must
have 2,500 in ten days. He said that he
expeeted $5,000, but as the executive com
mittee did not want to make money at the
expense of St Louis, he would take $2,500,
and that if a balance was left after paving
the expenses of the convention it would be
turned into the treasury of the party at
large.
After Mr. Dickie had lsft the city the
Prohibitionists got together and appointed
a committee to solicit the money. In the
meantime the leaders of the party in St.
Louis came to the conclusion that Chair
man Dickie was including more than local
expenses in his estimate and upon discus
sion it was decided to inform him that St.
Louis would raise all the money necessary
for local expenses, but would not raise
$2,500 and turn the unexpended part over to
the National Committee for campaign pur
poses. Cincinnati, Mr. Dickie said, has
made an offer for the National Convention.
How much is offered by it is not known,
but if $5,000 or even $2,500 is offered, the
Prohibitionists of St Louis say it can go
there.

Dominion Liberals Say the Speech From
the Throne Is Gilt-Edged.
Ottawa, Ont., March L The address
in reply to the speech from the throne was
adopted in the Dominion House of Com
mons yesterday afternoon, after two hours'
debate. Hon. W. Laurier, leader of the op
position, charged -the Government with
mis-statement of facts when they congratu
lated the House on the prosperity of the
country. The recent census had proved
that Canada in a decade had grown only
500,000, while the United States had grown
2$ per cent The Ministerialists now spoke
of reciprocity in natural products. It the
Government could offer this the unanimous
vote of the opposition wonld go with them.
Mr. Laurier desired the closest friendship
with the United States, founded on the
broadest and firmest basis. The recent
conference at Washington had been a
failure because the Canadian Government
had no power to make a treaty.
The Senate did not conclude the debate on
the address yesterdav. Hon. Mr. Boulton,
a strong Conservative, hitherto an ardent
supporter of the Imperial faction, threw a
bomb into the Conservative ranks by de
claring that he would no longer support
Premier Abbott, who had failed to reor
ganize the Ministry in a manner consistent
with the elevation of public life after the
scandals ot last session. He declared that,
this national policy had proved a failure,
and declared for free trade.

An Ordinance Giving an Abating Company
a Franchise to Lay Pipes.
Chicago, March 1. The City Council,
at its meeting last night, formally placed
itself on record as being opposed to the sale
ot the Chicago Economic Fuel Gas Company
to the Association of gas manufacturers.
This was done by means of a resolution, in
troduced during the transaction of routine
business, and afterward almost unanimously
adopted under a suspension of the rules.
The Council granted an ordinance per
mitting the Chicago Power Supply and
Smoke Abating Company to lay pipes for
almost any purpose tbs ingenuity of man
may invent, on such streets, avenues, Alleys
or places they may say. The passage of
the ordinances was interrupted by many
protests in which there were suggestions of
boodleism, but it was finally passed by a
vote of 46 to 12. The principal supporter of
tbe ordinance promises that with the advent
of the sew company Chicago's smoke
problem would be solved. The company Is
granted the power to construct and operate
works for the manufacture of compressed
air, and motors and fittings for the same,
and for pneumatic appliances, within the

THE GUAED DISSATISTIED,
An Officer Complains of the Selection of
Greenland for Adjutant General.
- The report that Colonel W, W. Green
land, ot Clarion county, has been slated by
Governor Pattison for Adjutant General of
Pennsylvania, has not been received with
enthusiasm by the local members of the Na
tional Guard of the State. It is argued that
military rule has not been recognized in not
giving the place to the ranking officer of
the Guard. Colonel-Greenland's popularity
has not been qnestioned, but it' is argued
that his experience in the' Quartermaster's
department has hot fitted him tor the duties
of the' Adjutant General's" office, where a'
thorough tactician is said to be required.
"Colonel Greenland's home, as every
body knows, is in Clarion county," an offi
cer of the guard said last night. "Of
course, the gentleman will if he is made
Adjutant 'General 'go there occasionally.
The telegraph office at hit home closes at 7
o'clock. Should he be wanted hurriedly at
any time while at his home he could not be
reached. Emergencies might arise at any
time when the Adjutant General would be
wanted and wanted badly, but if he should
happen to be at his home the State would
be compelled to wait 12 hours to reach him.
The appointment was originally given to
Pittsburg and it should have been given to
Pittsburg for the entire term."
