DOWN WITH HIGH DUTIES A STRONG FIGHT TO BE MADE IN THE NEXT SESSION. President Cleveland Pleased W ith the Action on the Tariff at Allentown— Conferences Held by the President and Speaker Carlisle Secretary Fairchild to be Consulted. Washington, Sept a.'— The Evening star this afternoon publishes the following: “There will be a measure brought forward by the tariff reformers as soon as Congress convenes, which will likely have the in dorsement of the administration. The President, Secretary of (he Treasury and Speaker Carlisle have been considering the matter since Congress adjourned, and it is I’.ot improbable that the present visit of Speaker Carlisle to the President at Oak View will result in the culmina tion of their plan. It is possible that the Speakers visit to Washington at this time was expressly for the purpose of con sulting with the President upon this sub ject. It is expected at the Treasury De partment that Secretary Fairchild, who is now on his v i tion, will soon return to Washington. V • probable that he conies to meet the ProsU •> • dMr Carlisle. THE ALLENTOWN TU.A.VK. “The result of the Allentown convention is quite satisfactory to the tariff reformers. They propose to take advantage of the sit uation and present a plan for a reduction of the revenues. The plan being prepared will conform strictly with the tariff resolu tion there adopted, as it is construed by the President. It will abolish the tobacco tax, but leave the whisky tax where it is, and will make u big reduction in the customs on the necessaries of life, in ac cordance with the President's ut terances on the subject. The internal revenue features ate admitted as a compro mise, and will be tolerated only in connec tion with a very jxisitive reduction of the customs. There will be no acknowledgment of protection. It is likely that the reduc tion of the customs will lie more sweeping than Mr. Randall would agree to, though it is hoped that the whole part y can lie brought to work together harmoniously. SCOTT ANl> SINGERLY. “Congressman Scott, of Pennsylvania, was iu Washington shortly before* the Al lentown convention, and talked the matter over with the President and Secretary Fair child. Edito> Gingerly conferred with the President h.. to it will be remembered, in his yacht o * ' Potomac. The adminis tration is full t committed to a strong atti tude on the tariff. W hile there has been no general conference of a largo number of men in one place, there have been impor tant consultations between individual lead ers and the President. “Mr. Mills, of Tex, who is to be Chair man of the Ways and Means Committee in the next House* is the city and has had conferences with Mr Carlisle The Bureau of Statist ; cs \ ..ci 1 calie-l upon for figures on customs duties to show just where the most effectivu , W-vctiom can he made, and how the revenues would be effected there by.” MILLS PREPARING A BILL. Congressman Roger Mills, of Texas, in an interview with a Post reporter to-night, savs that be is preparing a tariff bill to be submitted to the next House. It will pro pose large reductions in the duties on iron, steel, cotton and wool. Mr. Mills says he know s of no formal conference going on among the Democrats over the tariff, but says that he believes the President and Speaker Carlisle have held conferences on the subject, as have other Democrats in dividually. He warmly attacks the protect! i.i Democrats, and says the President and Speaker of the House should force Mr. Randall and his followers to fall into line or be read out of the party.

Ottawa, Ont., Sept. 3.—Mr. Foster, Minister of Marine ana Fisheries, and Mr. Thompson, Minister of Justice, are men tioned in connection with Canada's repre sentation at the proposed fisheries conven tion.

Minis ter Adams to the Earl of Clarendon in 1886, would form part of the matters refereed to the commission, and w hether the Alaskan fisheries question would be referred to the commission. Sir James Ferguson. Parliamentary Secre tary to the Foreign Office, replied that it was not intended at present to refer article 30 to the Commissioner He was not pre pared to say that the American member re ferred to would limit, the scope of the commission. Regarding Mr. Adams’ protocol, he referred the inquirer to Lord Salisbury’s dispatch of March 24, stating the views of th i British government, in proposing the commission. The l'uil terms to be referred to the commission were as yet undecided. Inclusion of the matter of the Ala. "a i seal fisheries would receive consideration. Sir Lionel Snckville West, British minister at Washington, would lie the second member of the com mission. The third would be a Canadian. CHAMBERLAIN COMING. London, Kept. 3.

Chicago, Kent. 3.—After a lively meet ing. behind closed door-, the Democratic State Central Committee to-day, by a vote of 13 to 10, adopted a resolution requesting the Federal authorities to investigate the alleged connection of a well known Democratic editor and postmaster, H. W. Clefidennin, of Springfield, with the cor rupt legislative printing “combine” and if since the State Senate report on the subject be lias upheld the “combine” he lie imme diately dismissed from office us unfit for aiiy position of honor, trust or profit under the present, national administration. GOV. OGLESBY ALSO DENOUNCED. The resolution likewise severely de nounced the alleged connection with the “combine of Gov. Oglesby and other Repub lican State ailieers who are supposed to be seeking renomiuatiou.” A substitute resolution declaring that ap pointments and removals of Federal officers should not be usurped or interfered with by political committees was lost by a vote 14fo top. Before either resolution was put to a vote a letter of protest against the action taken "ns read fromex-Gov. John M. Palmer, and aiso a letter from Postmaster Clendonnin, calling attention to the fact that the Sen ate Investigating .Committee had exoner ated him. Mr. Clendennin denied the juris diction of the State Central Committee over his' case, and invited the complain ants against him to present their charges to the Post Office Department at Washington, where they would lie met and refuted. The reason for desiring Mr. Clendennin's is stated by the promoters of the resoiuiton to be that only in case he is de posed by President Cleveland can the Dem ocratic party in Illinois effectively use the State Printing steal against the Republican office holders. WALKING OUT OF JAIL. A Mulatto Woman’s Coolness Serves Her Well in a Trying Time. New York, Sept. 2.—The police depart ment received a telegram from North Caro lina yesterday asking that Rose Nesbitt, a mulatto, be arrested upon her arrival.

She soon Investigated her prison and found that, a closet in her room had two doors, one of which opened the way to freedom. She ussed it and walked down the stairs leading to the street with head erect. The officer at the main entrance, thinking she had called for a missing child, asked her if she had found her little one. She answered in the negative and passed out into the street. She was not missed until this morning, when there was quite a commotiofl-at the central office, which has always been believed to be safe from the schemes or wiles of law-breakers. The daughter of the escaped prisoner was left behind. Explanations all round are in or der to-day. TEXAS DELUGE. The Railroads Badly Washed and Traf fic Almost at a Standstill. Chicago, Sept. 3.—A special to the Times from Waco, Tex., says: “Every bridge in Hill county was washed away by the rains and the damage to crops and farms will not fall short of SIOO,OOO. In Bosque county and along the line of the Santa Fe railway the damage is also very heavv. Of the towns here, Tredell, Whit ney, llico and Aquilla have suffered most. The railroad companies have suffered severe ly. It is believed the Central and Missouri Pacific roads are the heaviest losers. The Missouri Pacific has a force of nearly 1,000 men at work on the line near Grand View. A train on the road was detained between Itasca and Grand View from Monday night till yesterday evening. It was out on the prairie nine miles from any house, and many of the passengers sufferrel from lack of food. None of the roads are running their full schedule yet.” NERVY TO THE END.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 3, IBS'. GARRF.TT MA K KSII IS DUAL TIIE B. AND O. PASSES INTO THE HANDS OF A SYNDICATE. Wei! Known Bankers of London, New York and Philadelphia Get the Prop erty-The Telegraph System to Pass Into the Control of the Western Union. New York, Sent, 2.—Ever since Mr Garrett wrote his letter to Mr. Singerly, editor of the Record, of Philadelphia, break ing off the Ives negotiations, he lias been working t o sell his Baltimore and Ohio road. Negotiations were continued by him with J. S. Morgan on his arrival in London, and to-day an arrangement was announced that is only equalled by that of the West Shore settlement with the New York Central and the forming of the Reading syndicate to reorganize that com pany. Both of these deals were carried through by Drexel, Morgan &. Cos. Edward Lauterback gave a legal opinion to-day upon the question whether the sterling loan made by the. Baltimore and Ohio railroad covered the telegraph system of the com pany. He decided that the telegraph lines were free from all liens, and on receiving this opinion the agreement, in the nature of a preliminary contract, was executed. MEMBERS OK THE SYNDICATE. The parties to the contract are the Balti more and Ohio Railroad Company and a syndicate conqxised of J. S. Morgan & Cos., Baring Bros. & Cos., and Brown, Shipley & Cos., of London; Drexel, Morgan & Cos., Kidder, Peabody & Cos., and Brown Bros. & Cos., of this city, and Drexel & Cos., of Philadelphia. The most important point in the contract provides that the management of the company shall be placed in compe tent hands to the satisfaction of the syndi cate. A. J. Cassatt, Vice President of the Pemisyl vania railroad is generally be lived to be booked as Mr. Garrett's success or. Satisfactory contracts are also to be made with the Pennsylvania and Rending railroads on nil business north of Philadel phia, and with all the other trunk lines en tering New York, by which all antagonism will bo removed, and insure permanent working of the Baltimore and Ohio in har mony with the other trunk lines. ABANDONING THE GOTHAM BRANCH. In addition to these contracts the line in process of construction from Philadelphia to New York will be suspended, and the work on Staten Island stopped. In consid eration of these contracts being signed, and with the control in their hands, the syndi cate agrees to relieve the railroad from its present embarrassment by providing $lO,- 000,000 with which to take up the floating debt. This will be represented by $.7,000,000 in Baltimore and Ohio con solidated fives, and $.7,000,000 pre ferred stock. The floating debt as it stands amounts to $7,000,000, mostly in the shape of certificates of indebtedness, scrip and notes. Of this amount $4,000,000 is said to have matured on Sept. 1, and was the chief factor in bringing about the pres ent result. One of the parties to the syndi cate says: “All outside enterprises of the Baltimore and Ohio company will be sold to parties to whom they will lie valuable.” GOULD TO BUY THE TELEGRAPH. The Western Union will control, if itdoes not buy the telegraph lines, and the Pull man Palace Car Company will take the sleeping car business. The express business has already gone to the United States Ex press Company. The affaire of the railroad company will be entirely reorganized and placed upon a sound financial basis. The clause of the contract, suspending all work on the extension from Philadelphia to New York is believed to be the key note of the syndicate’s interest in the negotia tions, and is construed to mean that the Bal timore and Ohio railroad, when divested of all extraneous enterprises, will be operated practically by the Pennsylvania railroad. A CIRCULAR ISSUED. After a long conference of capitalists at the office of Drexel, Morgan & Cos., the fol lowing was issued to-day by that firm: A preliminary contract has been executed to-da/ 1 iet ween the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, Baring Bros. & Cos., and Brown, Shipley & Cos., London, and their allied houses on this side. This contract provides for the negotiation of $.7,000,000 of Baltimore and Ohio s’s and $.7,000,000 of Baltimore and Ohio preferred stocks for the purpose of ftaying off the entire floating debt of the company and placing it on a sound finan cial basis. The conditions are as follows: 1. Verification of statements, etc., as made. 2. That the management of the company shall be placed in competent hands, satis factory to the syndicate. 3. That satisfactory contracts shall be be made between the Baltimore and Ohio and other roads for New York business, wliich shall remove all antagonisms tot ween them on the subject and insure permanent working of the Baltimore and Ohio in en tire harmony’ with other trunk lines, and also to avoid* the construction and threat of construction of exjiensive parallel lines north and east of Philadelphia. The houses interested on this side are Drexel, Morgan <fk Cos., Drexel &, Cos., Brown Bros, and Kidder, Peabody & Cos. McNEILLY’S LITTLE GRAB. The Examiner Finds SII,OOO Which Was Supposed to be Gone. Saco, Me., Sept 2.—Bank Examiner Richards is investigating the records of the savings institution and is satisfied that the figures, as at first given by President Goodale, will more than cover the amount taken.

London, Sept. 3. —Joseph Richard Cox, member of Parliament for East Clare, writes to the papers that lie will address his constituents at Bally'corete Sunday, not withstanding the fact that the government has proclaimed the meeting. The votes of money for the Irish govern ment are still under deltate in the House of Commons. This evening the Parnellit-os discussed the administration of the law in Ireland until Mr. Smith, the government leader, appealed to the chairman to stop the debate.

The Difficulties Reau!tant From Ex cessive Speculation Not Yet Over come Railroad Earn Inge Excellent Trade Reports Encouraging Largo Offers of Southern Iron Go Begging For Takers. New York, Sept. H. G. Dun A Co.’s weekly review of trade says: “Joyful ral lies in the markets for a moment hid the effect of failures and frauds in rather un usual numbers. The vanishing of a .Saco bank oltieial, warrants for the arrest of Pell and Notter, the suit by the stockholders to protect the Hamilton and Dayton road from improper acts of Ives and others, the failure of Powell & Cos., of Philadelphia, who were said to take out li00,00!) tons of coal yearly, of Pennock A Cos., of the Val ley Iron Works, of Pennsylvania, and of the Boston coal firm connected with Powell are incidents which operate against lasting restoration of confidence. The sale of the Baltimore and Ohio Express Com pany supplies cash for some time to come, outdoes not involve an adjustment of other interests, as the street imagines. The sale of valuable securities by the Oregon Trans Continental Company probably looks to a change in the management of that and con nccting companies, lather than general liquidation. MAD SPECULATION'S EFFECTS. But all these and other changes do not re move the diftirulties which exce.v ivo specu lation has caused. Stocks improved rapidly Thursday, but had reached at the close of August a decline of $3 -SI per share from Aug. Id and #2 per share for the month. Reviving confidence in this market appears to have for its chief basis a belief that heavy operators want prices higher, rather than well founded as suranee of a change in the condition of properties or of business. Railroad earnings continue excellent. Lake t rutile is more active, Buffalo's grain receipts exceeding the previous year by 7,000,000 bushels. Illinois railroads report that only eleven out of fifty-four paid any dividend last year, and litigation growing out of the interstate law multiplies rapidly. Crop reports are unchanged as to wheat, still conflicting as to corn, and decidedly more unfavorable as to cotton, tho injury in the Memphis district beiug reported as il per cent, in Tennessee, and from 25 to 28 per cent, in adjacent parts of Alabama, Mississippi anil Arkansas. New Orleans also reports tho prospects declining week by week. In some parts of the Northwest corn was materially helped by rains, but in others scarcely at all. TRADE REFORTS GOOD. Trade reports are uniformly encouraging, with fair collections at all points heard from, and generally an improving outlook for trade. Money is stringent or in brisk demand at some points, but generally in fair supply. The boot, and shoo trade is better, with more satisfactory orders from the regions of the drought than were expected. Dry goods reports show improvement, with” fair movement in light woolens, though the demand does not yet start much of the idle machinery. Wool remains dull, tho unloading of Western speculators hav ing come sooner than was expected. The failures in the iron and coal trades have a discouraging tendency, and Jat Phil adelphia, loans are more narrowly sent tinized. large offers of Southern iron are reported without bidders, but prices for the best grades are not changed. THE COAL OUTPUT. The coal output continues large, and for the year 13 per cent, more anthracite has been' taken out than in tho same months of 188(5. In spite of all disbursements, the stock of cash in tho Treasury has increased $(5,400,- 000 during the month. The Bank of England lias raised its rale. Foreign exchange has fallen, but nt present the pressure for money here Is folt in com mercial, rather than in speculative, circles. The business failures occurring through out tho country during the last week num ber for tho United State 175 and fov t'anaila 24, a total of 100, against 185 last week, and 1(51 the week previous. ARIZONA OUTLAWS. A Sheriff and Eleven of the Despera does Reported Killed.

Senator Butt Favors Ita Passage-* Senator Davis Shows How It la Inlm< teal to the Interests of the Planters-* Senator Roberts Attacks Its Le gallty. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 2. -The Senate met at the usual hour to-day. Consideration ol the Brady bill was resumed.

They mv not allowed to come into court and pinvo that the fertilizer sold them wax not reasonably suited for the purpose to which it was intended. The only remedy tho purchaser of guano nov* has is to have a sample of th# guano drawn after purchase and sent to tho Agricultural Deportment for an other analysis, and he asserted that the de partment did not have time to attend PJ this second analysis.

Koberts, of the Fourteenth district# opposed the hill, and made an argument -in the legality of the bill, contending that it was illegal h- -cause it discrimiatea in favor of one class and against another. The rem edy suggested by this bill is not the props# remedy. If the guano sold is not suited t r the purpose for which it was intended, to# remedy is in his hands. He can have th# analysis made, and if tlie guano is not gooj its value can bo shown by the analysis. There was lively filllbustering on th# question of adjournment.
