Judge Lambert Tree , ex-minister to Ilui

gate from Chill , responded to tno samn teas
und In the course of his rcmurus said :
Vinustpvith entire sincerity and t'rnnkncs :
confess that everything wo have seen don
onstratos that ttio reports contained In th
books o ( tno resources of the United State
convoy but u faint Idea of the reality. A
Almighty hand has treated this country ns
loving mother would treat her child , and tli !
should not bo lost sight of by other nation
that seek Inspiration from tuo example of tti
United States , for when circumstances at
dissimilar imitation runs the risk of being 1
luslonary and ineffective , if not absolute )
dangerous. The honesty and goou will <
thu people of the United States toward mat
kind Is owing In great measure to the pro :
pcrlty which seems more astonishing as iv
contemplate It moro closely. " Senor Allans
concluded by proposing tlie following tonsl
"To the nation that , like , this , cements II
. prosperity nnd Its grandeur by prouccdln
always in a righteous and honest mnnncr. "
Speaking of the importance of the cot
fcronoo to the merchants of the Unite
States , Charles It. Flint , ono of the Amor
tr.m delegates , said : "Tho master minus e
this continent , have always recognized tl
natural alliance which should exist btitwcc
the independent gov6rnmonts of this heinli
phoro. The dealings between the people c
the thrco Americas should bo direct , withoi

South America nro paid tor by drafts c

Referring to our efforts to extend trade b

" \Yo have been met by the statement tin

Tlio sonata will act. reorganized JustbofoK
tlmo for It to convene In December. ' The
only question about Its result Is as tc
whether the present sorgcant-at-nrms nnd
some other high officers will bo superseded
by now men.
The Introduction of eight now senator :
From the four now states will make the
reorganization quite interesting and will
bring about nn almost complete rearrange
ment of ofllco holders. Many of the pit
men who have been holding Inferior * posl
lions will undouotcdly be asked to give wnj
to now men , that the now senators may be
jiven their share of the patronage
It Is undct stood that tbo present
scrgcnnt-at-arms is calculating to glvo t (
each of the now republican senators ono po
sltlon worth ; ? 1,200 to 11,500 a year. Ibis
the now senators will not consent to , as then
nro many of the old semttors who nro giyoi
patronage under ttio sorgcant-nt-urtns am
under the secretary ot the sonata aggregat
ing away up in tlio thousands , some of then
having twice as much patronage as their
own salaries uggrocatc. The demands ol
the now senators will undoubtedly cause 11
crc.it deal of chagrin and very rightly will
dispose of a number of barnacles who have
been bobbing along on the old ship of state
for n good many years. The genera
impression is that a now sergennt-at-arm !
will bo elected , although Colonel Cannday
the present oftlcor , has ninny friends , and i
number ot them will demand his retention ,
The moro fact that n senator has scrvec
long terms of years docs not license him tc
demand the lion's share of patronage. Al
should bo treated alike , they say , The nou
senators will demand that the fact that al
of the old senators have chairmanships shal
bo considered in connection with the ulstri
bution of patronage.
The difficulty that Scrgeant-at-Arms Can-
ad ay will have on his hands will in a largi
degree bo experienced by Socre"tary Me
Cook. This oftlcer seems to hnvo divided tin
patronage to suit his own personal wishes
and there are senators who have no rcpro
sontation under him.
The organization of the senate and the in
coming of the eight now senators will make
rjulto a change In the operations of that body
At the special session of the senate ! after tin
4th of March there were thirty-seven demo
crats nnd thirty-nino republicans. Whoi
congress nuets In December the republican !
will have at least forty-live senatjrs" "It i
not yet certain which party will got the twi
senators from Montana. If they go to the
democrats the senate will stand forty-flvi
republicans to thirty-nine democrats. Other
wise the reuublicans will have forty-sovoi
nnd the democrats only their present thirty
seven.
With the West Vlrclnlacases In their pros
cnt condition , tbo house , without the mem
bcrs from the new states , has KM republican :
and 101 democrats. The live representative
from the now states add that much to the republican
publican majority , giving them 10D members
a majority which Is only two moro than i
quorum. Thus it will bo an easy matter fo
the democrats to demand a quorum on everj
vote , and it will make legislation on partisai
subjects u vcri difllcultund almost impossl
ble accomplishment.

Result of tlit > Inquiry He card I UK the
Treatment * of ICournits.
WASHINGTON , Ont. 22. The report of thi
court of inquliy wjilch Investigated tin
charges regarding the treatment of recruit ;
at Jefferson barracks , Missouri , has boor
laid before the secretary of war. The testi
mony showed that tlio charges made won
exaggerated , but there was some foundatloi
for part of them. Rations were ample ani
tha supply of vegetables abundant.
The charges that non-commissioned olll
cers wcro running games of chance and get
ting part of the monthly' wages of the men
were sustained.
Only ono case of what 'might bo termed
harsh treatment by non-commissioned offi
cers was discovered , nnd this branch of tin
allegations practically fell through.
The statements of the reporter who enlisted -
listed and wrote up the matter were fount
reliable so far as they concerned mutton
within his knowledge , but tha stories told
him by other enlisted men could not be sub
stantiated. Many of these stories were tra
dltions which had been handed down foi
years from ono recruit to another.
The desertions from ttio Jefferson barrncki
exceed these from any other point , but the
report says tins Is traceable to the post boiiif.
In the west near a largo city , and composee
of cavalry recruits. .Many men enlist in tin
cast for no other purpose than to get west
while many others enter the army fron
restlessness or because of fam
liy troubles. ' Thcso men bocomi
weary of discipline ! and closer
and ttio number increases with the prox
imity uf the post to a largo city whore thoj
can hide. Tlio dosqrtion Is also duo largely
to the fact that many recruits are "repeat
ors , " or chronic deserters , who. having before
fore served in the artillery or infantry , cnlis
in the cavalry , knowing the probabilities an

dressed to the general passenger agents of
all eastern ami western lines , explains itself :
" 1'ho Pennsylvania railroad companywith
intent to deprive the Ualtlmoro & Ohio rail

cxchnngo therefor tickets reading via
the Pennsylvania railroad to Philadelphia
or Now York , ns the case may be , anu thence
to destination via anvollie. ' route excepting
the Baltimore & Ohio. This action of the
Pennsylvania railroad company is without
precedent and was entirely irregular und un
authorized. 1 bog leave therefore to respect
fully request that you do not report to the
Pennsylvania railroad company any portion
of the revenue accruing on excursion tickets
to Washington or Baltimore and return reading -
ing via this company's lines , but report tc
thu company the en tire proportion both way :
accruing to its lines beyond tbo Junrtior
points at which ttio business wns delivorci
to us. The arrangement for exchanging
tlchets'at Washington was not incorporated
In the agreement entered into by the Wash

association covering arrangements for the
sale of excursion tickets to the Knight !
Tamplui * conclave. Tlio exchange feature
was entered upon individually by this com-
pnny-for the purpose of relieving Its conncu
tlons from the trouble anu expense of preparing
paring numerous forms of round trip tickets ,

their action , as oiltllbcd nbovo , but not-.vltlv
standing my protests many tickets reading

ofllcos In Washington and tickets reading
via the Pennsylvania railroad were issued in

General Passenger Agent Baltimore & Ohlc
Unilrond , Baltimore , Md. "
J'horoliavo been all sorts of charges made
atraitiHt the Pennsylvania in relation to the
return portion of the Knights Templar tick
ets , the principal OUR being that a large
block of Pennsylvania tickets with the iolnt
coupon torn off had been placed In the hand !
of scalpers and worked off undei
cover of the big rush from Washington
This charge was never ofticially denied b )
the Pennsylvania nnd Is now reiterated by
the Baltimore & Ohio. The day following
the making of the eluirtro the Pennsylvania
not only abandoned ttio iron clad feature ol
its excursion tickets , but requested all its
connections to honor the return portions ol
the Pennsylvania tickets whether proporlj
signed or not.
The Baltimore & Ohio officials explain thai
their present action is taken simply to retali
ate for the exactly similar action of the
Pennsylvania.

to talk about their mission to Quebec , bul
state that the whole party Is here on private
business. A prominent railroad man do <
clarcd that tha visit is liltoly to bo fraught
with great Importance to the province ol
Quebec. Premier Mercer , whoso guests thej
were yesterday , declared n few days age
that the most important railway legislatioi
would bo submitted to the legislature : at the
forthcoming session , and a leading politician
declares that its basis was agreed upon. It
Is known that the Northern Pacillo desires i
shorter route to Europe. The St. Lawrence
Is tlio shortest water route , but the Grnne
Trunk and Its connections east of Chicnge
do not furnish a short enough land lino. Thi
nature of the alleged agreement botweor
Premier Mercer and the Northern Pncilh

cure us from wnsilng oxtravngunco , from

Resolutions were adopted rcnftlrmlng the
St. Louis platform and advocating proper
reform of tno ballot laws , condemning the
republican administration for the removal of
the chief Justice of ono of the territories ,
denouncing the project of the republican
