The members of thi' national league believe that there should be thorough Investlsatlon Into all matters concerning which legislation affecting busi ness IntorestH Is proposed and desire that mich leRlRfatlon shall bo prompt , shall hr along business , rather than political lines shall foster general rather than special IntorestH. We regret that our organization was not completed In season for our representatives to bo present at the public hearings given by your committee. In view of the well known fact that a large proportion of the- people who take the trouble to go to Wasl * . liifiion to attend such hearings are seeking to promotn tlielr own private In terests without regard to the effect on pcneral business intercuts , and the further fact that public ata'tl.stlcs as to tar iff effects on dome.stlc manufactures are at present meager and are not easily procured from the Interested parties , wo might , per haps , have rendered assistance to your com mittee1 , through the combined experience of our membership. Your committee , how ever , IM well aware of , nnd has undoubtedly made allowance for , the ox parto character of such testimony. Members of your committee having very courteously expressed their willingness to iccelvo and consider any statements we may present to the committee , we > now take occasion to express to you the desire of this league which we believe Is also the desire of a larsu majority of tne business men of the country that the present revision ot the tariff , upon which you are engaged , shall bo a conservative one. Whllo we understand that It Is your Intention by this revision to obtain moro revenue anil to protect American labor , we nslt that Its nenellts and HH burdens bo pprend OH nearly cauiil as possible , and so ns to "foster gen eral rather than s-peolnl Interests. " We bclle.vo that thu country has now had sut- llclent experience with tariff's to furnish a basis upon which the revisions may he madn moro scientifically than heretofore nnd that the objects-whether revenue ) or pro tection mny bo secured , and at the same time Bonornl business prosperity forwarded. Wo understand that your committee Is en deavoring to work along thc.su llnoo , ami we tender you any assistance In that dlrcc- tion which you may deslro from us. We will furnltsh you some statistics from time to time , as soon as wo are able to get them Into proprr form. Wt > also take this opportunity to say that the league/ , being In favor of tahlnt ? the tariff out of politics , favors the establish ment of a now department of the govern ment , to be designated "Tho Department of Commerce and Industry , " thu scope of which AVO will not discuss hero nnd of a tariff bureau In that department , after the present revision shall Investigate and re- Scott's Emulsion of Cod- liver Oil with Hypophos- phites brings back the ruddy glour of life to pale cheeks , the lips become red , the ears lose their transparency , the step is quick and elastic , work is no longer a burden , exer cise is not followed by ex - haustion ; and it does this because 1 cause it furnishes the body with a needed food and i changes' diseased action to healthy.

WASHINGTON , Feb. 22. The report on the bill for an International monetary con ference decided upon by the house commit tee on coinage has becji prepared by C. W. Stone of Pennsylvania , chairman of the committee. It says that a belief exists that the American people Intend and expect that an earnest and bona fldr effort shall be made to reach nn International agreement on the ! currency question , and to enable the exec- * , utlvo to give effect to that intention It Is recommended that ho bo given full power to deal with the subject durln ? his teim of office. The prompt passage of the senate bill , with an amendment providing for diplomatic negotiations , If necessary , I here- fore , Is recommended. A conference of representatives ot the several nations heretofore has been the customary way of seeking such agreements and embodlca an entirely proper mode of proceeding and ono which the commP'eo thinks received the approval of leading European nations , as , It says , Is shown by history. It Is not. however , the report adds , the only proper mode of proceeding. Diplomatic negotiations and treaty stipu lations may bo resorted to preliminary or subsequent to such conference , or In lieu of It. as circumstances scum to require. The Incoming executive. It Is stated , has frankly stated that ho will employ all proper means to promote an International agreement , and the committee relieves that ho should bo aided In the performance of this duty by promptly vesting In him full and explicit power to use every appropriate means to promote an International agreement , and the committee , therefore , recommend an ad dition to the bill providing that he may ap point commissioners or envoys to seek , by diplomatic negotiations with the several na tions , tu bring about such un agreement. The report refers to the favnrabb tctlon taken by the Kngllsh Hotuorf Commons In 1S93 , on a proposition to hold an Interna tional conference , the > snbseTJOnt proposi tion of the German rolchstag for such a conference and n similar act'on by the French Chamber of Deputies , and says : In the face of such explicit declarations of oplr.lon by the legislative branches of the three great monetary powers ot Europe , we ' annot n. .sume that the governmenta of theKo countries would decline to Join in a conference , nor oimht we to assume Unit they would appoint delegates who would misrepresent or antagonize the national sentiment Indicated by the expressions of tlio legislative representatives of the people. Vour committee does not enter Into .iny discussion ot either the feasibility or the merits of International bimetallism. The prcat preponderance of testimony of stu dents of monetary science seems to estab lish Its entire feasibility If sustained by the iroat commercial nations of the world. Its desirability from an American standpoint , at least , has been recently passed ii'ion by the great jury of the American people , and their verdict Is to bo ripened If possible Into an effective Judgment. Reference Is made to the plank of the republican platform In the last campaign , opposing the free coinage ot silver , except by International agreement with the leading commercial nations of the earth , which.the republican party Is pledged to promote , and Icclarlng that until such agreement can be obtained the existing gold standard must bo preserved. The report continues : There Is no need of ambiguity or uncer tainty In this declaration. It Is explicit , straightforward nnd complete. It must be accepted as expressing the will and purpose of the Anicrk'iin people , and their will Oioiild bo the nulde of their representatives. A pledge fairly made should bo unhesi tatingly fulfill ) < 1. Doubts us to the possi bility of success do not absolve from the pllBlited obligation to attempt success.

WASHINGTON , Fob. 22. The senate spent Its first hour today In listening to Washington's farewell address , read by Mr. Daniel of Virginia , and then turned Its at tention to the Indian appropriation bill. It Involved a contest over sectarian schools. The clause directing temporary contracts with these schools , when no government schools were available , was agreed to , 51 to S. A provision was adopted declaring It to be the settled policy of the government hereafter to make no appropriations what ever for the support of sectarian schools. A further amendment offered by Mr. Gal- linger , directing that all appropriations to sectarian schools end on June 30 , 1S9S , went out on a point of order , which the ( senate sustained , 2S to 22. The Indian bill U still j under consideration. | A veto from President Cleveland on a i private pension bill brought out eharp | criticism from Mr. Galllnger against the ; president's course. Mr. Morgan brought j out , in the conrso of Inquiry , that the passage - I sago of all these bills would Involve less | expense than the amount which went to the syndicate taking the bond ISSUM. Mr. Hoar also commented on the modern methods of criticizing the pension rolls. Mr. Allison warned the senate that hard work would be required to gel through the appropriation bills on time , and a rcso- j lutlon for 11 o'clock sessions was adopted , the prospects being that night ssslon ? will follow soon. Mr. Platt , republican of Connecticut , en deavored to pass the bill relating to Judicial j proceedings In the territories , stating that i the lives of four man , under sentence ot ex ecution tomorrow In the Indian Territory , were dependant largely on this bill. Mr. Vest , democrat of Missouri , said thu bill could not pass without debate , where upon Mr. Platt did not press the measure. .Mr. GUlinger , republican of Now Hanip- hlrc. attacked an Item In the Indian bill of $3,000 for an Industrial farm at Flnndrcau , S. D. 'Ho declared It wr.s ridiculous to go Into the purchase of South Dakota lands at $23 an acrs when they were In the market for $5. This Item and that for a s > lmllir : farm at Pierre , S. D. , went over for further consideration. Mr. Galllnger criticised a number of Items for Indian surveys , etc. , saying that a republican IIOIM ? could bo re lied upon to resist the outlays. PKTTIGUKW IS ItOUSED. This aroused Mr. Peulgrow , In charge of the bill , to the statement that economy could bo better directed against naval vessels which would not float and battle ships which were rusting out their existence. It could bo applit-d in cutting down the $10,000,00' ) appropriation for fortifications , when wo were about to have a peace treaty. He added that instead of the house being the exponent ot economy It was understood that the house appropriations would run $10,000,000 above the highest limit over befora reached. Mr. Allison , republican of Iowa , chair man of ths appropriation' } committee , took occasion to state to the ndiiate the condition of senate business. Ho said it was Impera tive , If the appropriation bllU were to bo dis posed of , that they be passed thla week. The debate on the Indian bill went over. Mr. Chandler submitted a report on the Loud bill , so-called , as to second class mall mailer , and Mr. Butler of North Carolina innounced that ho would make a minority report tomorrow. In the course of a parliamentary debate Mr. Stswart of Nevada made It known that ho would oppcs ? the bill by every pcaslble means. Mr. Vllas , a member ot the poD'.ofllce com mittee , said he favored 1 cent letter pevstaso , which was a feature of the report on the Loud bill , If the other rfformo could be carried out. Mr. Duller , who will make the minority report , said t'TO bill was "InfamoJH , " an- < if the people understood It they would not olerate It. The first reform , ha fcttl-1 , shoul !

J.inver Itraneli of CnnprrchH I'IIKSCH General lU'flult'iicy Hill. WASHINGTON , Feb. ! 2. The house today passed the general deficiency appropriation bill and began the consideration of the Irat of the money bills that provlJlng for th. naval establishment. A long debate oc curred over the propriety of the appropria tion of $1,300,000 for the Southern Pacific rail road under the Judgment of the court of claims , but the house ! / a vote of 1U2 lo 13S refused to strike It out. The niembcin who favored the appropriation for the repay ment to members. of the laat congress of salaries withheld from ' .hem on account of abaenco carried their fight Into the house , but they were beaten , DO to 122. Sixteen of the forty-eight pages of the naval appropriation bill were completed. The attempt of Mr. Grnsvenor , republican of Ohio , to oecuro an amendment to retain ses sion employes on the roll after March 4 to March 15 , when the cxtiu session would begin - gin , drew from him , when pressed as to whether ho was "authorized" to proclaim an "extra session , " the good natured admission that ho was authorized to assume that there would be an extra session. .Mr. Sayei'd , In support of hU amsndment as to the Southern Pacific railroad claim , aald that for ten years congress had resisted the payment of thla claim. It had been fought over and over again , and always had resulted In favor ot the government. The validity of the Judgment was admitted. Hut Inasmuch as the stockholders anJ directors of the Southern Pacific and Central Pacific were largely the same , and as the Central w.ts In solvent and largely Indebted to tha govern ment , ho contended that congress would bo derelict In Us duty If It paid to thla South ern Pacific corporation , which was practically Identical with the other , the $1,310.000 , pendIng - ! Ing a settlement with the Central. Mr. Northway , republican of Ohio , eald ' that ho favored the payment of this claim to the Southern Pacific. The road bound Itself to carry the malls. It ha.l performed Its duty and we were In honor bound to dis charge our part of the contract. If we with hold this money , we might as well refuse the payment of outstanding bonds when they fell due. W. A. Stone , republican of Pennsylvania , devoted himself to a legal argument as to the validity ot the claim. Mr. Dockery , democrat of Missouri , sup ported the motion to strike out this ap propriation and recounted the alleged man ner In- which the * trafllc of the Central was diverted to the Southern by C , P. Huntington - ton and others. In conclusion he said It was but fair that this money be withheld until C. P. Huntlngton had effected a set tlement ot the { GO,000,000 which his other corporation owed the government. Mr. Groavetior. republican of Ohio , ad vocated the payment of the claim and paid C. P. Huntlngton a high tribute for hU genius ami enterprise. MrMogulro , democrat of California , vigorously attacked Jthe claim. The Soulh- .ftn Pacific was organlieit and had existed , ho declared , as a conspiracy against the government and It ItaQvbeen largely suc cessful. If It was reo/K nl/ed as n corpora tion with no liability .for ( he debts of the Central Its triumph 'w6hld bo complete , After tome further.K'lnarka by Mr. Dine , republican of Kansnpr ! r , Hepburn , repub lican ot Iowa , and Mr' iHngham , republican of Pennsylvania , In flJtor of the appropria tion , ami Mr. Bowers * ' republican of Cali fornia , against II , Mr. Sams closed the de bate for his side. In doing so. ho called attention to the facf'ihat the Fifty-first houss , after a protradt'M .discussion on. this very Item , rejected It overwhelmingly but seven members voting for It. Mr. Cannon then made a closing appeal for the appropriation , niter which a vote was taken on Mr. Sayer * ' motion to strike It from the bill. All amendment was adopted to pay Alexis llenolt , who contested Mr. Hoatner's seat , $2,000 for the expenses of his contest. The speaker laid before the house two pen sion vetoes , which were referred. The house then entered upon the consid eration of the naval appropriation bill and at 5:20 : p. m. adjourned. --gw-y > v sh& AMUSEMENTS.

THIRTEEN FOREST RESERVES President Cleveland Establishes by Means of Executive Orders. OF GREAT IMPORTANCE TO THE WEST Over Twrtil ) One Million Arrr * of \Voo.H-il Innil Si-t Axlilc no llc- KITVOS Icnlleil le erlp- tliin * of ( litTrnctn. . WASHINGTON. Kcb. 22. President Cleveland - land celebrated the IGoth anniversary of tlio birth of George Washington by Issuing thirteen executive orders far-reaching In their effect. On the recommendation of Secretary Francis and n forestry commis sion of the National Academy of Sciences ( appointed by Prof.Volcott Olbbs , the pres ident of the academy ) the president signed nnj promulgated thirteen proclamations es tablishing as many additional forest reser vations , containing an aggregate area of 21,370.400 acres. Secretary Francis' report on the subject shows that the commission visited most or all of the forest reservations and other pub lic forests of the United States , devoting three months of hard travel and careful study , without compensation , to the work assigned them. The amount of land In each reservation already entered under the gen eral land laws Is , the secretary points out , Insignificant , and the portions of the area described and exempted from the proclama tions. Some of the sections are within the limits of railroad grants , and In such cases an executive proclamation only reserves the cltcrnato sections. This Is notably the case In the Priest river forest reservation , which the report of the commission characterizes as "tho most valuable body of timber In the Interior of the continent. " The secretary will submit to congress a bill authorizing the secretary of the in terior to indemnify the beneficiaries In any of thcso railroad land grants Included within the limits of forest reservations es tablished by proclamation of the president l > y patenting to them an equal quantity of other portions of the public domain within tpecllled limits. Tao secretary further shows that under Ui3 law authorising the prerldent to establUh thesa reservations sixteen such reservations have heretofore been set asiJe , aggregating an area of 17,500.000 acres. Kach of the thirteen proclamations Is similar In terms , except thcue portions giving a dct'jrlptlon of the lands aflected by each. After a description of the lamln act aside the proclamations except from their force and effect all laneia which may have been , prior to the dnto hereof , embraced In any legal entry , and covered by any lawful duty of record In the proper United States land ollice , or upon which any valid settlement has been made pur suant to law , and the statutory period within which to ma.ie entry or filing of iccord -.as not expired ; and all mining claims duly located and held accoiding to the laws of the United States and rules and regulations not in conflict therewith : Provided , That this exception thai ! not continue to apply to any particular tract of .and unlea tlc ; cntryman , settler or claimant continues to comply with the law under which the entry , filing , settlement or loca tion was made. Warning is hereby ex- nrest'ly ' given to all persons not to enter or make settlement upon the tract of land re served by this proclamation. THE RESEIWATIONS.

PLAN OF MANAGEMENT. The report of the commission concludes with the statement that It fully recognized the fact that the forest reserves established and proposed cannot ho maintained until a plan can bo adopted under which their boundaries can be modified eo as to take from them all lauds better suited for agri culture ) than for the prodmtlo'i of forenU and under which tholr timber cannot bo made available for domestic and commer cial purposes , and valuable minerals cannot befreely sought for and mln .l wltbla their boundaries. The commission Is now engaged In perfecting a scheme of forest management which It believes will make tha administra tion of the reserves possible. Secretary Francis gays : "The deep and growing Interest In the preservation of our forests will make the act of President Cleveland very popular with all oxcapt tlioje who have selfish designs on the forests. The timber growth In most , or manof the older states , has been ruthlraaly laid waste. In 80H10 sections thu settlers are realizing Its scarcity , Its cost for domestic uses growing greater from year to year. Furthermore these forests are the great reaervolra of the country ; they prcsarvo the snows , which when prelected , furnish a good and oppor tune supply of water to the streams , but If exposed to the eun , form destructive floods and Inflict trreparablu damage , to be Followed by unbroken drouth , "This forestry commission , which has done- such good work , will now formulate ( !

None of the railroads In the country have ever been able to devise an entirely sat isfactory method of checking the mileage of their cars made by other roads. The report of this John committee is a voluminous one. Replies were received by them from 10S roads , re-presenting 113,41. ) miles of road operated and owning TS,1 freight cars. Among other things , the re port saya : In the preliminary report of the Income account of railways In the United States , Issued by the Interstate Commerce com mission , the mileage of the roads In the Unltc'd States fnr the year 1S')3 was 177- 74f .2. > mlk'.s ; multiply $171.7. ! , the average I > CT mile of road per annum for the useof foreign freight ears on their lines , by the number of miles operated In the United States , and yon have $ : > i.3n.51 ) : ! , which Is approximately the amount of mileage re ported by the various rnllro.ids In the United States during thu year ended De cember 31 , lf)3 ! ) : multiply this .same by eleven nnd you have more than the entire Kros.3 receipts from passenger trafllc In the United States ; multiply It by twenty- tlvo and you have the entire gross receipts fiom freight trnlllc In the United States , or Hit total operating expenses of all rail roads In the United States ; multiply It by twelve nnd you have the net earnings I'roia the operation of all the railroads In the United States.
