'ASHINGTON, Doo. 01,1888.
The time having been fixed for it vote
on the Tariff bill, much better progress
Was made in the Senate yesterday than
usual. Paragraph after paragraph was
disposed -of so rapidly, in fad, that Sew
neer Vance was led to inquire why the
Republicans desire to force the bill
through in such haste now that it was
settled that a final vote should bo taken
on the alt. of January.
The Democrats, led by Senator's Vance
and Viet, continued Co offer amendments
cutting down the proposed veto of duty
or adieus agitate; in the different ached -
lace, but they were voted down. oeuator
Call, however, was one of the few Demo-
crats who thought that the measure was
not sufficiently protective, especially to
Florida growers of oranges and lemons.
Rio 1110t0011 to increase Sao duty on
these led Senator Riecook to state sar-
°Regality that orauges were a necessity
to the down.trocluen workmen of the
North, and that, therefore, the duty
ohonld remain where it is. Ten pages of
the hill were disposed of during the
day.
Senator Gray, speaking of the chances
of tariff legislation this session, said
yesterday : ',I do not think there is much
prospect of the two Houses agreeing on a
bill at this session. If the hill gets into
conference, however, as I hope it will, I
should think we could offer to compro-
mise by removing the internal revenue
tax from tobacco and putting wool on
the free lid. My idea would be to let
all the other features of the Senate stand
if We could gain free wool. By agreeing
on this compromise we could effect a,
substantial reduction of the revenues and
at the same time gaiu a great deal for
the cense of tariff reform. I have not
disouseett it at any length with many
members of tho Ways and Moans .Com-
mittee."
Mrs. Toadies WAN ill her glory during
the paet week. Sho fairly revolted in
in the mysteries of the dead letter office
sale. Long before the hour appointed
for tho oommeuoernent of the sale several
samples of the lady in question were on
hand and secured front seats. A tem-
porney platform had been erected on
one %id° of the (motion room, and beyond
were pineal the various packages that
wore to be sold to the highest bidders.
Greet bundles ot catalogues lay on the
Pie:Herm and were generally taken by
the early minds and sconnea for prizes.
The old habituates, however, had secured
copies in advance, and their tvell.thumb-
et"' see ad pages, adorned here and there with
cluck melts, showed a careful perusal.
The auctioneer began the sale with a
silk handkerchief, evbieh brought 85
oeuts. tabs next package containing a
conpleaaf lady's aprons cost thepurchaser
40 oeuts.
When the highest point was reached in
the bidding the aucbioneer gave tho
bundle a twist and sent it over the heads
straight at the leaky bidder, at whom
the cashiers immediately began to thrust
a citgar.box nailed to a long baudle. Tho
eatielee wore invariably started at a
quarter, front which a jump would
usually bo immediately made. "Tho
figures aro running very high and the
bundles aro going off faster than I over
know," said an old lady, who had been
loaning againatthe wall watching the
sale. "I lave been to a great many
dead letter Nalco, but I never saw each a
one as this," and she raised bee parnsol
and her voice and bid :30 cents for a
pogrom conteining 111 infaeta; knit
worded cape and a valentine.
Secretary Whitney has at lasb settled
the question al to the disposition of the
U. S. S. Rielimeoncl, which has just been
fitted out at tho NOW York navy.yierd,
by ordering hor to prooda teethed un.
nemseary delay to Montevideo, for car.
vice as the flagship of the South AtIontio
station. When thie vessel was ordered
to NoW York for repairs it WA f011 tho
purpose of sending her to Chinn, as the
flagship of the Aembie statien. While
the work on nor progressed, the trouble
with Hayti ocourrad, and tho work was
expediated so as to send het to that
eountry. Her presence there is not now
regarded as at all neceseaty, and Ft hae
fluidly been decided to gond hoe to the-
Soilth Atattatie station, wheel a vessel
luta been needed for some timo.

municipalities were re-elected. •
Moved by Thomas Farrow, ex -M. P.,
seconded by P. Kelly and resolved, "That
we strongly deprecate the course of Dr.
Macdonald, the present representative of
East Huron, in advocating Commercial
Union, or, in plain terms, annexation with
the United Stets, and we emphatically
express our approval of the Government's
polio y on this vital question. Every effort
has been made bo bring about reciprocity
of trade in natural products with the
United States, but all overtures have been
spurned by the Americans.'
Mr. Farrow, in speaking to the motion,
made a most spirited, loyal and patriotic
speech. He referred, in glowing terms,
to the wonderful energy of the Govern-
ment and the 0. P. R. Company in open-
ing up that great country, the Canadian
Northwest, and building 8,000 miles of
railway in five years. Having spent a
large portion 03 11101 season in Manitoba
be was in a position to state that the
people there were getting rich.
Moved by J. It. noddy, seconded by S.
Ca Neaten, of the Seatorth Sun, ''That
this meeting expresss its approval of the
Empire newspaper aud recognizss it as
the loading °igen of the great Libetal-
Cionservative party. Tte editorials and
other departments are creditable not only
to the party but to Canada, and we
strongly urge all loyal Conservatives to
exert themselves in its interest, feeling
satisfied that it is tas most reliable ex-
ponent of the policy and principles of
Oonsorvatiem."
Moved by 13. Gerry, seconded by F. C.
Rogers "That this meeting yiews with
pleasure the development of the North -
i1001, which demonstrates the wisdom of
our Chieftain and ins Cabinet in the faoe
of bitter opposition, carrying out amt active
and progresswe polity to induce the set-
tlement of this vast granary of our noble
Dominion. The principal factor in this
direotion has been the C.P.R., which has
proven to bo of immense and incalculable
benefit to this enuntry. Canada can now
boast the best trausoontinentul railway
in America, and, next to Confederation,
ib is the crowning triumph of the state-
manship of oar loader, the Right Honor-
able Sir John Macdonald."
Moved by Thos. B. Hays, seconded by
Thos. Kelly "That this convention views
with suspicion the increasing centralize -
gun of power by the Ontario Legislature,
and believe that all of the minor provin-
cial °Metals, such as license inspectors,
bailiffs:, rec., should be appointed by the
county councils or tho people, as the
system fosters an immense amount of
undue influence, as is evidenced by the
different votes east in tho same munici-
palities in the federal and provinoial
elections."
The resolutions were all carried an.
auirnously.
After votes of thanks to Mr. Farrow,
Mr. Kaye and the retiring president, and
cheere for the Queen and Sir Tobn, the
meeting adjourned.

To the Hatter or THE POST.
Su,—Mr. Strachan has given 0 crack
of his little whip at the National l'olioy
of Canada, and it is rather late in the
day now to begin to teach him the
necessity of upholding that which is our
bread and butter -the bulwarks of a young
country. In his topening sentence he
trips himself up. Ia it he admires the
wisdom of British statesmen who dis-
carded their National Policy 03 30 or 70
years ago. Ho only looks at and sees
the affect, and fails to comprehend the
cause of their then wise statesmanship
now then I wish hire to Bee and know
the muse and necessity for this high
tarift. Long ago Russia, Norway and
Sweden flooded thie oountry with cheap
iron, and thou wise men said wo must
mako iron ourselves and to 80 SO WO
shall pat on 100 per cent tidy to enable
our young and poor industries to get 0.
good start and hold of the market.
Monied men invested with them -there
were thou no "Grits," misnamed Re.
formers to about and roar of the bloated
monopoly-groply to turn out a good
Government and get in themselves. No,
Sir, all looked with au aye single to strut
large industries. Suoh wise statesman-
ship accomplished ie and made such a
snoods in manufacturing iron so cheap-
ly that proteotion soon of itself died a
natural death, they did notneed it, and
are now the manufacturers of the world.
Their prosperity and wealth is all due to
the ubove forseoing starting point and
this is what the Conservative party of
Canada is bringing about to -day and is
the sole reason why Sir John is so pop.
ulna in the leadership of a nation with
such grand objects in view is bemuse he
took the cue given by Great Britain as
well as our big ni ighbur the United
States, which is procedont and 0500055
enough for us to follow safely—"It's
