WASHINGTON' . IX C. , July 22. )
\ Some of Mr. Mill's friends on the commit
tee of ways and means say that ho acknowl
edges that a very formidable opposition is
1 arising in his own district because of the
part ho takes in the free wool business. His
Blntoment in the closing argument yesterday
that money is being sent to his district by
northern protectionists is believed by repub
licans to be so rabidly absurd that it did not
attract any serious attention , though there
were many who expressed surprise that ho
should adopt the same line of argument as
that adopted by Mr. Morrison after his hori
zontal measure had receive. ! Its quietus and
after ho had been so emphat
ically turned down by his consti
tuents rA glance ut the congressional
directory for the last four years shows that
the majorities by which Mr. Mills has been
returned have diminished witiiin that time.
Ho was elected to the Korty ninth congress
by a majority of iii)0. : : ( ) When the returns
were counted after tin1 election of lbs > 0 it was
discovered that this had been reduced to
5BOO. Mr. Mills evidently reali/es tli.it there
may bo u tidal wave even in Texas , and his
speech yesterday was doubtless designed to
prepare his friends for the news of his de
feat in November. It will bo convenient to
charge this defeat up to the protectionists ,
though Mr. Mills does not accuse the re
publicans of the north with the responsibility
fur the loss of nearly eight thousand
votes In two.ycars. Nor can ho plead that
the loss can ho aivonntcd for by the fact that
the last election was licld in an " .ilT ieur , "
for while his vote was hH)0 , ( ) less than in the
preceding campaign , the total vote of the dis
trict was onli 2l'00 , less than in lv > | , and the
vote of his republican npponeiit was 2,000
more than in tin' presidential jeiir. Tills
would Indicate the waning popularity of the
chairman of the ways and means committee ,
and at the same time it accounts for the vn-
porlngs of Mr. Mills about republicans send

Since the vote on the tariff bill yesterday
there are various explanations given by the
members of the republican caucus committee
of the failure of the minority to offer the pro
posed substitute. The meeting in Major Mc-
Kinloy's room on Friday night lusted until
midnight , and when it finally broke up it was
lully determined to move to recommit the
bill , with Instructions to report a substitute
which should abolish the Internal taxes upon
Hlcohol used in tlio arts , on smoking and
chowlni ! tobacco , and the special stamp tax on
dealers ; also a reductionof BO per cent on the
sugar duty. Fiom the best information ob
tainable , tills motion was not made because
fe ut the last moment some of tlio leading re
publican senators advised against this course
on account of the condition of the preliminary
movement in the senate towards tne perfec
tion of a bill which is to be the republican
measure.

A republican member of the house , who
had a long talk with Senator Allison , chair
man of the sub-committeo of the finance com
mittee having charge of the tariff bill , says
that he does not think that Mr. Allison Inis
any idea that the senate will do anything
with tno Mills bill at this session. The rea
son for this belief is given In the following
account of a conversation between the two
gentlemen. Senator Allison was asked :
"How are yo i getting along with the
preparation of the senate substitute ) "
"It will bo several weeks , " ho replied ,
"before wo shall bo ready to report to the
full committee. "
"Will It then bo reported at once to the
senate ? "
"Oh , no. That will bo but the beginning
of the preliminary discussion. No two mem
bers of the full committee entertain exactly
the same views on the subject. "
"How long will it take the full committee
to prepare a bill ) "
"That is a very dllUcult question to
answer ! "
"Will it bo ready by the 1st of Septem
ber ) "
"Hardly. "
"Will the senate get it by the middle of
September ( "
" 1 don't think so. "
"How long will the discussion last when It
comes up In the sonutol"
'I guess that every senator will want to bo
heard in the discussion. "
"Tlum there is not much prospect of an
adjournment by the middle of September ! "
"Would you think so ! " was the Yankee
reply.Do
Do you think that the senate will try to
pass n bill before adjournment ! "

so. "

throughout the state that wo can get a re
publican majority this year. The old demo
cratic majority of from sixty thousand to
seventy-live thousand was reduced in the vote
for governor hist year to 17OJ. ( Our
hope for this year Is based largely
upon the dissatisfaction among democrats
with their own officers and leaders. Nomin-
ntions are usually obtained by primary elec
tions , in which corruption nnd bribery rule.
Hospectablo democrats generally stay away
from the polls at such elections , ami incom
petent , unprincipled persons usually secure
the nominations , which heretofore have been
equivalent to nn election. Many of the
ablest and best democratic politicians have
told mo that they would be glad to see this a
close state. Tlio rrsp.'ctnbio element among
the democrats who are not politicians nro
thoroughly disgusted with ring rule , and will
either vote the republican ticket or stay

LONDON- , July 21. [ Now York Her
ald Cable Special to Tin : HDI : . ] The cor
respondent of the Standard , evidently a
government official , In writing about the
naval maneuvers says , as regards the work
of the umpires , that it will bo necessary to
bear in mind what is assumed in regard to the
olTcnslvu and defensive agencies involved.
No gun Is to be fired until the ships are with
in four thousand yards by day or two thou-
md yards by night , and no ship is to np-
roach within one thousand yards of the
ncmy's ship. Should , however , one squad-
on prove to bo incontestably superior , mi-
icrieally , to the other , then , if the stronger
orcoean maintain its position within three
lilcs of the enemy for two hours this will
jo considered as evidence of the
blllty of n superior force in an ac-
1011 , ami to have gained the advantage
i the engagement. Ships of superior force
nust , however , during the whole of this po-
iod be , in the opinion of the umpire , sufll-
iently well in hand to afford one another
iiutunl support. If two Ironclads can sue-
iced In getting within a distance of not more
ban ! i,0iO yards from a single ironclad and
such position for two hours , then
ho single ironclad is to be considered to bo
ut out of the action. The same rule is to
btain In the cast ) of a single ironclad cn-
aging a single protected vessel ; also In
hat of a single Ironclad engaging an unpro
cctod vessel , but in these cases the time is
o be reduced to one hour. If two protected
, 'ossols attack one protected vessel , or two
nprotected vessels attack one unprotected
I'essol under the foregoing conditions , the
ingle vessel will bo put out of the ae-
lon. If an armor-clad or protected
essel can approach an enemy's vessel at
nchor in an unfortified part within n Us
ance of 2,000 yards , day or night , the vessel
,0 , caught at anchor is to be considered to
iiavo been rammed'and put out of action ,
n actions between ships , guns are only to bo
ircd when within the effective range at
.vliich the Uro is to be commenced , viz : four
housaml yards.
Touching the most interesting operations
, vith torpedo boats , the following rules must
bo observed by the belligerents : Torpedo
boats will each bo provided with two tor-
oos , lilted witli safety heads , which are
o bo fired when the boat has attained a po-
itlou within 500 yards of tlio enemy's ship
ml not at a greater distance. If it is certain
hat the ship so attacked has been lilt
n the hull before the boat is put
3Ut of action , then the ship is considered out
) f action. Eich torpedo boat is to bo al-
.owod to lire one torpedo at a time , and , hav-
ng fired this one , is to bo considered out of
.ction until she has either picked It up or has
jeen supplied with another from ho depot
esscl. A single torpedo boat , attacking ,
, vlll be put out of action when she has been
under continuous lire for three minutes
iVithin a distance of 2,000 yards. If several
orpcdo boats are acting together half a
iiinuto is to bo allowed for each additional
boat , all the boats being put out of action to
gether. Torpedo boats are to bo considered
is acting together when they are under lire
ut the same time. If , after one boat
s seen , and before she has boon
'or throe minutes under flro , more boats
re seen and ilrcd upon , the time that the
ilrst boat is under fire is prolonged on the
; round that attention was diverted from her.
f the other boats are more than half a mln-
.ito per boat behind her they properly lose
line as a penalty for attacking in straggling
irder , and when everybody has been put on
ho alert b.v the attack ou the llrst boat.
When attacking n merchant vessel rules
uro observed that will make the time con
sumed correspond to the quickest time that
would bo needed to board and examine such
vessel in time of war and put a pruo crow on
lierorsend her to the bottom. This is as
sumed to bo ono hour and a half.
The greatest secrecy is enforced as to the
hnractcr of obstructions that nro about to be
) laced at cither end of Hcorhavon , to protect
: ho squadron under Admiral Tryon from
the designs of the Hritish , and this relates
particularly to its whereabouts.
The plan of the campaign lies before mo
and it seems hard that I must withhold it ,
but I am promised a swing at the yard-arm
if a line appears in the Standard that can
benefit the enemy. Sufllco it to say , that this
division means to construct an effective boom
with the various corollary obstructions at
either approach to Ucorhavcn , and that when
the enemy's fleet appears they will meet
with a surprise as complete as It will bo dis
agreeable.
Nearly all the details for the defense of
Hccrhavon nro complete. Admiral Tryon
this morning inspected the novel inliio and
the boom , about which secrecy is enjoined.
One will not know its value until torpedo
boats attempt to go over , under or through
it. The shore batteries protect the ends of
the lines and the blue Jackets are enjoying
the novelty of camp life on shore.
Torpedo boat No. 4 has Imnlod np
alongside of the flag ship Hercules to repilr
the damn jo sustained on the trip from 1'ort-
land , and will soon bo ready for work. All
hands are kept cioso to the ship , much to the
disappointment of the people on shore , who
looked for lucrative customers for their Jaunt
ing cars ana mountain dew.
On board the Agincourt , July 21.
The bay selected is admirably suited
for this purpose. The stjualrou en
gaged in guarding the Clyde traffic is pro ,
tectcd by Holy Island. There is capital
anchorage for a largo number of vessels ,
with shelter against the winds , ami
the two passages , ono at each end of the
Island , can without great difficulty bo defended
fended by booms , mines and other material
which Iho men ol the lleul arc cxercihcd in
using. Outside , also , both la the north ami
south , small buys and nooks cxUt easy o I
access and affording concealment for scquu
and torpedo boats. Naturally in the circum
stances attending the coming r.lTniy spie <
may have to be provided against , and II
would piMUably be ttirticult to find a place
less likely than Lunl wn to harbor any one
belonging to the enemy's ships
for this llttlo place couli
scnrci'Jy have n stronger in It wittiout th <
fact bcioiulng kimwn tri every ono in the

once , It. after the war is declared , the qn
cmy should wish to find out anything about
our movements , it will very much surprise
me if ho gets the Intelligence from this port ,
either by open rcconnoitcrlng or stealth.
As to our future movements nothing yet
has been revealed , and Use feeling in the
squadron is bitter on this subject , as It is ar
gued that the admlrality can hardly expect
officers or men to take an Intelligent interest
in the maneuvers if their scope or general
scheme is concealed. There Is n laudable de
sire among the officers to learn the rules and
regulations under which the lighting will
take place. The hetcroiwiious nature of the
squadrons and the different values which the
ships bear , owing to their speed and
armament , certainly call for some clear
and definite instructions on this subject. As
yet , however , even these are supposed to bo
secret.
The remaining vessels of the squadron
joined to-day and by to-morrow night all will
have completed coaling.
On Hoard the Uodncy , Lough Swilly ,

Of those belonging to the Lough Swilly

others developed weakness either of leaky
steam pipe or a defective llro box. ThoCalyp *

dence nt Irvington said to a reporter yester
day : "Yes , the doctor comes from Now York
every day at this time and then he goes
back , generally on the train the next morn
ing. I am sure he gets but little sleep , for ho
must go to Gould's bed room eary half hour

and the like. There is a light burnIng -
Ing all night in tno bed room , and ,
from what I hnvo overheard , Mr.
Gould is almost crazed through insomnia
There are a lot of medicine bottles and pow
der boxes on a table near the bed , but you
can't tell what stuff it is , for the reason that
Dr. Munii brings nil the medicine himself
from New York. If It was put up by drug
gists right hero ho would , of course , know
for whom the medicine was intended , and I
reckon ho might get an inkling of the real na
ture of Gould's illness. Ho always has been
a queer man , you know , and If ho nets
strangely It may just bo his way of recrea
tion , yet wo can't help thinking some ,
times that ho is what with the average
man would bo called insane. His work room
is entirely shunned by him , yet lio'll roam
about all the other apartments in the house
muttering to himself. Wo servants had an
idea that Mr. Gould caught malaria. There
is plenty of it in this neighborhood. "
Mr. Gould never leaves the house without
being quietly escorted oy some member of
the household. Ur. Munn , Mr. Gould's phy-
siciun.Miid to-day : "Mr. Gould is improv
ing. Ho was worn out and required rest ,
just as any man does who applies himself to
hard brain work. If necessary ho could
como down to the city. "
A former physician of Mr. Gould in Tarry-
town , Dr. Fanningsaid : " 1 am not surprised
that ho is breaking down. Mr. Gould , ns a
matter of fact , has been a chronic sufferer
from insomnia. I attended him last summer.
The nervous shock was quite severe then , and
all that I or anybody else could do was to
afford him temporary relief. I gave him
homcopalhctlc medicines , of course , but on
one occasion ho tried a narcotic. Well , that
had no more effect than if ho had swallowed
so much water. It's bound to end fatally. "

There are St. Hornards , great , woolly Pyre
nees dons , bulldogs , and , coming down the
scale , the microscopic- black and tan. Paris
is aroused. Paris is indignant , and to avoid
an outbreak it is now decided that this
cruelty to pictty servant girls , fi\t cooks and
indignant women must cease.
Mr. Charles Lowe , the able Merlin corre
spondent of the London Times , has been
among the Parisians talcing notes , together
with M. do Hhuvitz and M. Kdward
Hcrvesat , of the chamber of depu
ties. Mr. Lowe was also present at
the review at Long Champs. I nskod Mr.
Lowe what was his impression of the French
chamber as compared with the German
rclchstiig. He said the French chamber was
distinguished by impersonation and individ
ual liberty ; that if such tumultuous scenes
occurred in the German reichstag the au
thorities would consider the propriety of
summoning a battalion of infantry to clear
the house at the point of the bayonet. "I par
ticularly noticed M. Floquot. His head is
most strikingly liUo that of Richard Wag
ner , " added Mr. Lowo.
"What do you think of the French army ! "
"Tho artillery is excellent , but the infan
try Is decidedly inferior in physique and
bearing to the same body in Germany. They
especially seemed less capable of long
marches than the Germans. The cavalry is
the weakest point. The horses are good , but
the men arc wretched. They lack the power
of keeping horses thoroughly in hand as the
German cavalrymen do. For instance ,
when they passed the Tribune at what ought
to bo u uniform trot , many of the troopers
were cantering or paeingliko civilians. "
' 'How are the ofllccrs compared with the
Germans i"
"They are decidedly shorter and rather
more lleshy than the Germans. "
"Do you think the German doctors in mak
ing their report on the death of Emperor
Frederick were actuated by a purely scien
tific love of truth or by personal animosity
towards Mackenzie i"
"Primarily , they intended without doubt to
vindicate their own scientific reputation. No
one who takes the trouble to read the re
ports from beginning to end can resist the
conclusion that they hnvo triumphantly es
tablished thoirpositlon. "
Prince Koland lionaparto has just re
turned. I had u pleasant chat with the
[ > rinco yesterday at his handsome hotel in
Lho Coursla Heina. The prince is simple and
unaffected. "Let mo show you my
American library , " said ho , lead
ing the way through a richly
furnished apartment into n room
lined with bookshelves. "This entire wall is
covered with literature concerning the
American continent. There are books there
in four or five languages , but all on the same
subject. So , you see how fond I am of your
country. I was very much pleased with my
interview with President Cleveland. While
the president did not seem very well posted
on generuj French politics like most Ameri
cans , ho was very much interested in the
prospects of General Uoulanger. Mrs. Cleve
land struck mo as being remarkably attract
ive. She is very fond of Paris and talked
enthusiastically about her last visit hero ,
about things she had bought and others she
wanted to buy. In general , I thought
the American ladies very much
like their French sisters , which is
the highest compliment I can pa.y
them. As regards the external appearance
of New York City. I did not like the ele
vated railroad nor the dirty ill-paved streets
or the telegraph wires overhead , but in the
tremendous bustle and rush of business 1
could understand that there was no time loft
for aesthetics. I was delighted with tin
American railway system , particularly witli
the dining room cars. As a now countrj
America must , in various respects , bo more
or less unformed , undeveloped. Hut there
arc two great blessings enjoyed by the
United States which Franco envies her ,
First your form of government establishei
beyond all chance or question of change
secondly , your separation from Europe which
insures you immunity from the dread of war. '

THK ITALIANS 1MIOTKST.
They Deny That They Are a Gla-H of
'anpcin anil Padroni's.
iit , Jul.22. . . About two thous
and Italians assembled in Kelly hall this
afternoon to protest against the statements
that had been made that thcv were a pauper
class , and that the recently appointed con
gressional committee proposes to investigate
the matter. After listening to addresses b.v
Aneglo Astaritica , of New York , and others ,
the following resolutions were presentcii ,
with a long introduction in Italian , and went
through with a rush :
First This meeting condemns the action
of the Italian societies of immigration in
liumiliating the name of Italy as the land of
slaves and pad rones.
Second That we , obeying the laws of this
glorious republic , pray anil hope that no law
of ostracism will bo putscd against our ini-
micration , as it is contrary to the liberty and
civilization of this country.
The circular which calls the meeting to
gether has a flavor of revolutionary language
about it , and reads :
"Italians : The moment to show ourselves
united for the common honor of Italians has
arrived. The American press 1ms undertaken
a war against us to Influence tlieAinerican
government to take measures , against us , a
free people. Energetic action must
bo taken without loss of time.
The supreme moment has arrived.
United with the name of Italy in our mouths ,
let us prepare for war. Tlie time is short.
Let all societies unite and do their duty. "
The Italian cavalry company and military
companies of Karsaglieri and the Genie , com
posed of street sweepers , were to have
inarched to the hall in full uniform , but were
not allowed to do so , the police refusing to
permit an armed assemblage.
