An element of dissatisfaction soon developed. Kx-Mayor Harrison moved that the num ber of directors bo increased to seventy-live- , ED that the poor man could secure representa tion on tlio board.

WASHINGTON' , April -Clmuncey Depew , just returned from the south , asked by a local reporter this evening if he. hndseen much of the now south , replied : "Some of the now and a good deal of the old south. The old .stock sincerely think their property will bo wiped out , their homes broken up and society destroyed if the colored man's vote is counted , and they look upon the northern re publicans as a species of anarchists who will cheerfully co-operate in such destruc tion. Ono thing more than any other , " said Depow , "which has debauched public sentiment in tlio south is the convict labor system of certain states. Unless Ken- nan'a stories of Siberia's horrors arc abso lutely true , there can be no seenes _ in u civil- Ued country so terrible as in the southern convict camps. Some times tlio contracts call for a certain number of convicts and the state furnishes them. If they cannot fill the quota otherwise the most trivial offenses nro made the excuse for long terms of imprison ment. I have no doubt many innocent men ure serving .sentences In southern convict camps that a quota might be Tilled. " Claims the Failure Was Crooked. SCOKANU FAI.TS , Wash. , April 4.

PENSION PROS AND CONS , The House Treated to a Very Spirited Debate Yesterday , STONE OF MISSOURI OALLS A HALT. Tlio Soldier HUH Already Got III * DIICH I'roin tin ; Nation , Hi ; Snyn Sev eral Very AVarm Itcpllea Provoked. X , April 4. After tlio reading of the journal tlio house proceeded to the eon- sulnrutlon of various private i > enslon bills coming over from lust Friday night's session. In speaking of one of these bills , Mr. Stone of Missouri said Hint no people had been so despoiled nnd burdened tinder the name of patriotism and under the guise of pension laws us hnd the people of the United States. Ho denounced the demands of the Grand Army of the Hcpublle , and asserted that the presidency was put up and sold to the highest bidder. Tliero was one grand mmi who had dci'lined to be n party to such n sale , though ho had fallen , bearing the reputation of u wlso nnd incorruptible statesman mid enjoying the support of every honest citizen , [ Applause from the democratic siilo. ] Benjamin Hnrrl son had attained his otllce by cash raised by Wunumnhcr nnd disbursed by Dudley. Ho ( Stone ) believed the government had boon gcncroua enough to the soldiers. Speaking for himself , and speaking ho knew against the judgment of his party as sociates , ho declared Unit ho hnd gone us far in the direction of pensions as ho intended to go , nnd he represented one of the largest ex-union soldiers' districts In the country. IIu favored a liberal system of pension laws , but he entered his Oiirneet pro test against indefensible extravagance in public expenditures. Ho favored the grant ing of liberal pensions to true and bravo sol- dicrsbut bo was opposed to granting pensions to the undeserving or to bounty jumpers. Mr. Lane of Illinois In favoring the bill re ferred to the remark made by Mr. Stone , that n contract existed between the government nnd the soldiers. Ho said that the man who would declare that was as ignorant of the relations of the government and the soldiers ns a Hottontot. The democrats ot Illinois did not endorse the gentleman from Missouri , but believed ns ho ( Lane ) did that the government had not done justice to the men who had defended it iu its hours of peril.Mr. Mr. Chipman of Michigan criticised and denounced the speech made by the gontlcmail fromMissouri. , It was not tlio time to talk of the cost of pensions , Ho well remembered the day when the cost was not counted ; when the government was prodigal of money nnd lavish of blood ; when , the motives which brought men under the flag were not scanned and annhv.ed ; when the man who enlisted was the hero of the hour , Then no man was mean enough to suggest that men wont out to risk their lives for the pultry pay of ' $11 ! u month. The man who would'havo made such a suggestion would hnvo been whipped and scourged and looked upon as n rebel. He could not have lived lit decent so ciety. The gentleman from Missouri ( Stone ) cried halt , but the time for halting had not come , and would not como until reasonable provision hud boon niado for the needs of every soldier of the country. The country needed u service pension. It needed increased pensions for tlio deaf and dumb. It needed pensions for widows and needed u law estab lishing a rule of testimony in pension cases whereby the oath of a private soldier would receive as much credence as that of mi officer. The- pension system must continue until the last soldier who served the country In war was dead and gathered to his fathers. [ Applause. ] Mr. Dollivor of Iowa inndo au eloquent ap peal in favor of higher pensions , lie was not in favor of waiting to pension veterans of the latu war until almost all of these who were to bo benclittetl had paid tlio debt of nature and had gone to their repose. They should bo pensioned now and ho would , shut his eyes to the cost. The defense of the unity of the re public had been a , costlv enter prise , but the American people hail been willing to pay the cost to tlio last penny. They were willing to pay their debt today. There was not in all the land u veteran soldier of tlio republic to whom the republic was not a debtor for every dollar of wealth in tlio national treasury. It was encumbered by an inviolable debt to the men and women who shed their blood and tears in the hours of the nation's peril. [ Ap- plauso. } . In every bourse and in every finan cial center in the world the credit of the United States was better than gold ; but be fore God , ho would rather sco the framework of our financial system put to open shame before - fore the world tlmn to sco the care worn veteran of the union army driven from the public treasury bv tlio money power , holding in his hand the broken promise of Abraham Lincoln. [ Applause. ] , . Mr. Flower of New York raised his voice in favor of the union soldier and of the pen sion list. When in 1S01 the soldiers wont to tlio battlefield , the government had promised to make their wives and children wards of tlio nation , and ho was in favor of fulfilling that promise. The private pension bills , five in. number , then passed. The house then went into committee of the whole on tlio private calendar. The bill for the allowance of certain claim's for stores and supplies used by the United States army un der the provisions of the liownmn act was discussed at length , mainly on points of order. Pending action , the committee rose and the house took a recess. At the evening session thirty private pen sion bills were passed. Jay Gould 111 In Mcxlua. ST. Louis , Mo. , April -I.

Foreign trade has been heavier tlmn ever for the season , and domestic consumption , while much smaller than usual in coal , in woolens nnd heavy woolen winter" goods has been at the maximum in nearly all other lines. The new quarter begins with no apprehen sion of monetary dlfllculty , with the general level of prices recovering from the depression of February and with signs of Improvement in many quarters , though the recurrence of failures of woolen , commission nnd manufacturing concerns calls renewed attention to the evil effects of long credits in that department and to the unusual strain to which it has been subjected by a , succession of two mild winters. The money market is no longer n center of apprehension. Returns of commerce indicate a considerable excess of exports ever imports in March , and the trading in securities appears to have resulted in no considerable outgo of capital. The money markets of the interior are more satisfactory , Boston noting compar atively little pressure , though rates are firm ; Philadelphia reports money easier , though not plenty because of many largo in vestments in southern enterprises ; Plttsburg reports n fair demand at 0 to 7 per cent ; Chicago cage firmness , with nn ample supply ; St. Louis , " no change from the ( ! to 7 per cent rate ; New Orleans an easy market , mid of other western cities Cleveland only reports some stringency. The failures of n woolens commission house hero mid a manufacturing establishment In Pennsylvania came Just when there were signs of a better demand by manufacturers for wool at Boston , hero and at Philadelphia. On largo sales concessions are still made , but the manufacturers reason that the pending tarllt bill will probably prevent sales of the now clip at lower than current rates , while it may give them a hotter market for goods. The long credits demanded on purchases of materials by the clothing manufacturer expose this cntil-e department of industry to exceptional disadvantage where consumption is from any cause curtailed , us , on account of the uilld winter it has been. Reports of the boot , shoo and leather in dustry are nearly all favorable and nn im provement is noted cast and at Chicago , but strong opposition is made to the proposed duty on bides. The coal trade has not been helped by the various meetings and consultations mid an thracite stove is selling at ivt.50 , with bitumi nous quoted at $ ; ! . - ' . " ) . In the iron business there is another effort at Philadelphia to create more encouraging impressions , hut it is now admitted that in spite of tlio hopes there entertained the de mand for the past quarter has been slow and at receding prices , Southern iron is still pressed for sale here. In bar some little improvement is seen , and the market for structural iron and imils Is better , but rails nro not selling freely oven at $ { I. the rate quoted , and it is said.that large orders can be placed nt lower figures. Copper hus ; been weaker abroad , though English nnd French stocks are placed at Ul- ! f > 0 tons against 9.1,150 tons March 1 , and 124- 885 tons a year ago. Tin is dull and weak and the dullest week for a long time in lead closed at about ! . * , > . Heports of trade from interior cities are generally favorable. New Orleans notes the sensational exaggerations of inquiry by the overflow , but the actual interruption of dis tribution at the south is suflloiont to bo felt nt St. Louis. Other western cities report a good business and outlook , dealings generally equal to or in ex cess of hist years trade to date and collec tions rarely satisfactory , but usually fair , though Cleveland notes some falling of ! in that respect. The Chicago grain trade con tinues enormous , corn receipts for the weolc being H.a.lO.OOO bushels , against -.ViO.OOO bush els lust year , dressed beef showing a four-fold gain , other meijts a largo increase and dry goods sales a gain over last year of 10 per cent thus far. At Philadelphia the leather trade is unset tled , the drug trade fair and tobacco more active , particularly as to Sumatra , because of the proposed duties , but building in March fell far below last year's record. The number of failures dur ing the lirst quarter of lhH ! ) was ! ) , 'J-3 , against ! itll , : last year , with a decided decrease at the cast , the south and in the Pacific states , but an increase in the middle and western states. Tlio aggregate ) f liabilities was Sl-.S.'U.WiS , against * -r2l)7L'riH ) > last year , but in this particular there was nn increase at the south and in the middle states in the latter.10 per cent with nn increase in all other sections. The business failures occurring throughout the country during the last seven days number 200 , us compared with 2 l.'l last weolc. For the corresponding week of last year the figures were 222.
