M EM ..OAILY APPEAL. ESTABLISHEP 1840. MEMPHIS, TEISTIST., FRIDAY, MAECH 25, 1881. VOL. XL-ISTO. 70 THE 1 1 THE 1O0 AMD S IBWVaTY. The bill which passed the house on Turn day lxt, providing for the payment of the Stale debt at 100 and 3, paused the senate yesterday on it first reading. This, we take it, wan merely formal. We cannot believe that senators will give their consent to a measure that has met with bo much, of public reprobation, and which is condemned by a majority of the people of the State; a bill which U in direct antagonism with every pledge made even by the most ex treme State-credit men during the last ean-vai-H, which exceeds by expressed stipula tions anil declarations made during that canvass the wishes of the people, and transcends every precedent of Ipw by sur rendering the sovereignty of the State and opening to the Federal courts a wiy by which they may usurp the functions of the legislature itself and levy taxes upon the demand of citizens oi other States. The members of the house who have given their votes for this bill are marked for everlasting condemnation and for denunciation as trait ors to their duty upon every stump in the State whenever and wherever they may make their appearance. Willi whatever motives they cast their votes, they are at open enmity with the people, they have violated llieir plbdv by exceeding the sum at which the people and the press, speaking for the p'ople, limited the settlement, a sum which the bondholders had declared their willing-u?.-s to accept. Thev have violated a funda mental aul cardinal principle of our form of government by surrendering the tax-levying power intrusted to them by a confiding people, and they will bj held re'ponsible for it at the bar of the public opinion which they have defied, aud be punished for it by being debarred from all public employment in the future. To follow an example so violative of principle and precedent as this would be a disgrace which senators cannot hope to s irvive. No good and sufficient reason can be given for it. The bondholders them selves are on record as willing to take 50 and 4; nt the outside, 00 and A few days bufore (Jovernor Hawkins permitted the pros t anticipate his message by announc ing his purpose to recommend this, measure lO'l sin I 3 x circular was issued by t'ie bondholders, or a majority of them, at New York, declaring their willingness to approach the legislature and ask for a settle ment at (10 and 4. Why did not the governor and legislature wait for the creditors to make this offer? What was it that induced the hurry, the haste to push upon the people of Tennessee a settle ine.it nt par, pending an offer of 00 and 4 byjhe creditors? What was it that induced majority of the house to vote, after a few days debate, that tho peo ple of Tennc-see, through previous legisla tures since 1373, had deliberately lied when they said that their impoverished condition prevented them from paying dollar for dollar, ami even refuting for four or more years to recognise the validity of any part of the debt? What was it that induced a majority of the house to declare, as they have by their votes in support of this bill, that the altitude of the people they represent has for several years been thit of debtors who were able but would not pay? i 'in any one oi luc nouse majority speaic on the slump with the same frank ness as to the payment of the State debt as (.Jovernor I lauk ins? Isthereone of them a Democrat who, if he had said to his con stituents that he would vote to pay the debt cent for cent, but knows that he would Dot have been elected, that he would have been driven from the hustings by an indignant people, whose declarations to the contrary had been repealed at every one of the three preceding Stnteranvasses. What is the lan guage of the platform of the Ia.-t Democratic State convention? It snys: We re-osriiize a deposition on the part of the creditor of the .stale, in view of Iho great losses entailed by tilts late war, the great depression of trti4fituN, and the general shrinkage In values, to imiko a liberal reduction in Isjtli the principal and interest of our bonded imlclilcdncs, and we de elan that we favor a prompt settlement by the legislature with our creditors upon the be.t terms that eau be agreed Umii as a result of negotiation. This is plain, explicit and to the point. Does the votes and speeches of the Demo cratic members of the house, who supported the Hawkins bill, tally with it? No! Far from it. They tally with tlr declarations of Hawkins, whom they opposed, and whom the Democratic party would have defeated had it ' been for the defection of the so-called tax faction. Every speech made by rats during the cauvass was for com aiisc. Judge Wright, the Democratic andidate for governor, in the speech he de livered here, said that the debt could and would be settled upon a basis that would sat isfy the poor man, and lie called special at tention lO llie Illlliguei-n vt ucthiuio to settle at one time at 00 and 0, and at another at "0 and 4. The whole canvass was conduct ed in the belief that a settlement at the last named figures was possible. Even the Statu orlit men held to 50 and 4 as a limit tin t wou'd satisfy creditor and debtor alike. Had even GO and 4 been mooted the triumph of the low-tax faction would have been assured, Wilson and not Hawkins would have teen elected governor, and Tennessee would have lccu branded and disgraced as a repudiating State. Viewed by any light, measured by miv of the standards of the lost campaicn. the votes and speeches of the Demo crats who voted for the Hawkins ?ttlenient, 100 anl 3, stand condemned.

TURKEY. Constantinople, March 24. There is great activity in all the admiralty factories. The Porte is negotiating with a Newcastle firm for the delivery of coals at duo, Rhodes, Crete, Volo, Salonica and in the Dardanelles. The total Turkish force on the frontier now is 80,000. RUSSIA. St. pETKRsnretc, March 24. Another fe male nihilist friend of RonssnkofT and Hart mann has been arrested. Owing to her reve lations, the indictment against the prisoners connected with the aasai sination of the czar must be recast and the trial further postponed a few days. The female nihilist arrested to-day is named Sophie Pieoflsky. She is the daugh ter of a councillor of the ministry of domains. She has confessed to having given tho signal to HartiuRU for exploding the mine uuder the imperial train near Moscow, and also the signsl to Koussakoff to throw the bomb which shattered the czar's carriage. The government has assigned to the defense of the prisoners able counsel. Feliarboff de clines the assistance of counsel. AUSTRIA. Vienna, March 24. Emperor Francis Joseph has appointed the czar honorary colonel of a regiment of lancers, which will, however, bear the name of its late honorary colonel, Alexander 1 1. An iulantary reg iment has been ordered to bear the name of the present czar. This decision is intended to keep the friendship of the late czar iu im perishable and honorable memory. GERMANY. Beki.Ix, March 24. The government is preparing a bill for the regulation of emi gration, which will be introduced next year if i ot this session. Tho Russian proposals for arranging in ternational measures for the extirpation of dihilists are favorably received here. It was the origins 1 intention of the Crown Prince Frederick William to go to St. Peters burg with the Prince and Princess of Wales, hut he started fix hours in advance of them, iu consequence of the czar sending a tele gram asking him (o arrive a few hours be fore the prince and princess, as he wished to have a confidential conference with him. This request is interpreted here as a contin uation of friendly relations between the two empires. A discussion in the German reichstas on emigration was raised by a Polish deputy, who attributed the alarming increase in emigration to the cutturkhami and excessive taxes, and, in lus province, to the unjust treatment of the Polish language. He said that last year 12,300 persons left that province. A socialist deputy contended that Ine pop ular discontent was not so much due to polit ical as to economic grievances. Ihe reichstag, on their reading the budget to-day, after a long debate, adopted 1S3 to 45 the committee's resolution declaring the cost of the inclusion of Altoua into Zollverciii must first receive the sanction of the reicli- tag, so far as such cost is not defrayed by the individual states interested. THE TRANSVAAL. Durban, March 24. The Boers recently occupied the prison at Patchifeslroom, 500 yards from a fort held by the Twenty-first regi ment. Ihe Uritisn commander determined to dislodge them because they annoyed the garrison. Eleven soldiers charged the pris on, entered it, and killed three of the Boers. The remainder tried to escape, but the men in the fort shot thirteen of them. Ihe lirit- is!i lost three killed. General Rolierts has lieen ordered not to proceed to Natal, hut to return home. Gen eral Newdigate has also been recalled. General ood says a portion of the Ninety-fonrth regiment at Bunkers Spruit on the 201 h of December last would come within the terms of the amnesty granted the JJoers, aud that Jiritisu prestige iu lrausvaal had not suffered from the terms of peace. ENGLAND. London, March 24. Viscount Folkestone. conservative, has idaced the tiuestion on no- tice paper to the hoo?e of commons relative to Dillon late speecn, in which he threat ened Judge Fitzgerald. A 7 ones nnaucial article says: It is as sured there is some ground to anticipate tnat r ranee ana me united states will agree to become bi-metallic nations for a certain period. It is hoped that the countries of the Latin union will follow their example, that Germany will agree to continue the suspen sion of sales of silver, ami that England will undertake on behalf of India not to give tin the silver standard for the same period. A messenger has arrived at Caiidaharwith a letter Iroin the ameer lor distribution among the Siiulars and native chiefs, stating that he has come to an arrangement with the British chief for the surrender of Csnda- ar. On hearing this missive, Ayoob Khan's envoy kit Laiulahar. It is estimated that i.rJO.000 siiecie was purchased in open market lor shipment to America yesterday. The greater portion came from France and Russia. POINTS IN PARLIAMENT. In the house of commons Secretary Fonder said Dillon's speech had received the serious attention of the government, but it is not to the public iutertst to state whether any steps are intended to be taken. Forster also said Dillon's statement that 5000 families in Ire land 'are liable to be hauled out on the road side, was exaggerated. At the last session, in the district referred to there were only seven-t-threu ejectment decrees issued, compared with 73 decrees at the same time last year Lord Stanhope protested, in the name of the internal peace and external security of India, against the surrender of Candahar. The foreign undcr-uecretary stated that the first act of the new ciar was to reoall Ueneral Skobeloff and stop the advance on Merva. The bulk of native opinion in India, he said, favored action. Donald Stewart and General Wolscley thouclit there would be no strateeetical ad vantage in the retention of Candahar, besidts which, the cost of its permanent occupation would be 1,500,000 yearly, which, in the present state of Indian finances, it would be most unwise to add to the burdens of the people. The addition of this sum to the ex penditures would produce enormous discon tent iu India, aad discontent iu India meant the creation ol a field for foreign intrigue. The 'government intended to meet the mo tion with a direct negative. Killed by Fall Through o llatrh. Cedar KAriDs, Ia., March 24. At poon yesterday T. M. Sinclair, managing partner of the pork-packing establishment pf T. M.

The head quarters of the "Yorktown Centennial associ ation at the Exchange hotel were formally opened to-night with imposiug ceremonies, embracing a fine military display of th First regiment Richmond 'Light Infantry Blues and Richmond Howitzers, and a pro cession of German singing and other socie ties. The ceremonies were begun in the rooms of the association in the hotel, where Rt. Rev. J. J. Keane, Catholic bishop, offered a prayer for the success of the approaching commemorative event, aud hoping the last embers of sectional animosity might be ex tinguished, and all selfishness of aim and narrowness of mind be taken away, so that all who share in the country's glory may labor together for the country's welfare and advance together toward the glorious destiny in store. The prayer was offered in pres ence of the State and city officials, city coun cil and commercial organizations. Speeches were made from the portico of the hotel by Governor Holliday, Congressman Uoode, president of the Centennial association, ami other gentlemen, after which Rev. M. D. Hoyne, Presbyterian, closed the exercises with prayer. The principal features of the affair was the singing of the Star Spangled Banner by the German societies for the first time since the war on any public occasion, and the playing of Yankee Doodle by the band. Roth were greeted with cheers. THE HOLOCAUST AT NICE. Particulars of the Itnrntuir oft be Opera Uiiutral Nice, Iluly, on the Eveu lax of WedaeMtHjr, 2 .1l last. Beportrd !.. of More (bail Two Han- drtil LIVM-Hmrlrradiag beetle Wlui I Maplmon Says. Nick. March 24. Up to this hour (3 a.m.) fifty-nine bodies have been recovered from the ruins of the Italian operahouse, destroyed by fire last night. It is feared that many more have lost their lives. The fire com menced soon after the curtain had risen for the performance, Lucia di Lammermoor. Subscribers for orchestra-stalls and boxes of the grand tier had mostly not arrived. A majority oi the "ictims belong to the work ing class. Short Iv after the fire began the gas exploded, and the house was plunged into complete darkness. The scene of terror and dismay which ensned beggars descrip tion. A detachment of sailors from the squadron in the harbor arrived on theFcene, aud displayed great gallantry in rescuing the people and combatting the fire, which was subsided toward ten o'clock. M. Strnkosch, the imprtmrio, was slightly hurt. Signora Bianca Donadio, one of the leading artinte, made her way from the stage to the street in safety. One whole family of persons and another family of three persons are known to have perished. Relief subscriptions for the sufferers have been opened throughout Nice. The regatta here has been countermanded, aud the value of the prizes to have been con tested for will be contributed toward the re lief of the distressed. Another Account. New York, March 24. Dispatches from Nice say : The holocaust at the operahouse last evening was caused by a gas explosion at the back of the stage, which set fire to the scenery. The flames spread with alarming rapidity and soon enveloped the gas meter, and the supply of gas being cut off the body of the house was soon plunged in darkness. The crowd pressed madly toward the limited and mean exit. The audience was large, and in the panic hundreds were thrown dowu and trodden under foot. Those who attempted to extricate the people were honelesslv jammed between the doorway anil the passes. i lie scene was terrible. I he shrieks of the wounded, mingled with the cries of those in the galleries, whose every means of escape was cut off, was heartrending. Mme. Do nadio, the prima donna, was saved, but THE TENOR, BASSO, BARITONE, AXD A NUM BER OF THE CHORUS WERE BURNED. Up " to midnight one hundred and fifty bodies were extricated from the ruins. A man who escaped from the upper gallery by jumping declares that with perhaps a dozen exceptions every person in his part of the house was burned. Some sailors were lost. A number of American and English visitors rendered great assistance in the saving of livus. The scene in . town is indescribable. One lady, whose hu.-baud was burned to death, committed suicide. The usual com plaints are made respecting defective means of escape and water supply. Although the Mediterranean washe the shore at the foot of the walls of the theater no water could be obtained wheu wanted, aud the beautiful operahouse is a complete wreck. COLONEL. MAPLESON, Signor Ar.leti, Signor Menti and Mme. Gender's husband at the rehearsal to-day at the Academy of Music, in this city, were much depressed by the news of the terrible calamity at Nice. Ionadio sang iu New York with Aibani some years ago. The tenor was known to be Devilliers, a French man thirty-five years of age, and not re markable for any excellence on the lyric stage. The baritone was Carbone, and the basso a Pole named Miller, who has enjoyed a continental reputation for many years. He was an o'd man, over sixty, perhaps. Signor Montille knew him well, and was much affected by. the report of the injuries he had sustained. FERDINAND MTRAKOSCII is believed to have been impresario of the troupe and Signor Bolognini manager of the theater. Charles Mapleson said that the theater cost iu the ncigh'jorhood of $350,000, and was built without regard to architectural design. The outside walls were brick, chiefly, with blocks of stone interlarded for no seeming purpose further than to make the structure appear unsightly. The inte rior looked very pretty with its or namented walls and ceiling and daz zling gilded work, but it was all gimcracks. I have heard professional peo ple, who are accustomed to the strongly built and handsome theaters of America, say: "What a magnificent structure for a bonfire." It resembled a great many of the lightly built theaters lounj in the south ot r ranee. Like all theaters established at watering places, its season was short, never extending over three months in the year. The star there this season was Miss Rosiiia Isadore, who last year made a signal success in Lon don. She is a prottge of Baroness Roth---child. Her parents reside io. St. Louis, Mis souri. SIXTY-NINE BOD t EM RECOVERED. The following additional particu lars of the burning of thi opera' house have been gathered: Many per sons were trampled to death in the stampede to get out of the theater. It does not appear at present that any Americans were among the victims, ine sole occupant ol me stage when the explosion occurred was seen en veloped in flames. The injury of Strakosch was only a slight contusion ot the leg. Eleven more bodies are s 'id to be under the nuns. Ihe exits ol the theater were very narrow and badlv arramrrd. Hienor Dona' dio was to have appeared for the first time at the operahouse on the night of the fire. A gas jet set fire to Borne of the scenery, and, as the curtain was down, the public were unaware ol ine uanger until toe gas ex ploded, when the smoke became suffocatingly thick. The people tried to throw them selves from the small windows near the end of the theater. Sixty-nine bodies, so fur. have been recovered. LATEST PARTICULARS. Nothing remains of the theater but four walls. It is uncertain whether auy singers were killed, but several were unured. Most of the artists were iu the dressing-room, and were aware of their danger, but it was too late to escape. Tie choristers rushed along the narrow passage in the darkness, many presumably too much disabled in the crush to escape. The basso, tenor and baritone must have been suffocated and their bodies nre probably under the ruins. The p.rts of the theater most filled were the upper galleries, aud, as the distance from them to the doors was long, and by narrow corridors and stairways, the people iu the galleries had the greatest difficulty iu escaping. Thjre was a very in adequate supplv of water. The sailors who volunteered as firemen, plied buckets of sea water, which, however, were almost useless. Two midshipmen rescued two persons from a chamber who are still living, but horribly scorched, one being a raging lunatic. Some of the bodies found are so horribly charred that recognition is imiiossible. The body of one of the singers has been recognized. iHtilenii Mnoranla. Citt ok Mexico, March 10.

Murray died to-day, from the effects of an abortion produced on her last Thursday. Just prior to her death she made a state ment declaring that the abortion was pro duced by Dr. Willoughby, at her own re quest, and in direct opposition to her hus band's wishes.

A Typical Texaa Trairedy. Jack.son, Tex., March 24. A bloody trag edy was enacted near here last Monday. Two stock men named Leonard aud Doyl-, quar- relletl, on Sunday and agreed to settle their troable the next day. They met on Monday according to agreement, with rifles, and ac companied by a man named Leroy, as a wit ness, .Lieonard demanded that the matter be settled at once, and with their rifle'. Doyle agreed, and asked Leonard to step on one hundred paces. Leonard commenced doing so when Doyle attempted to shoot him, but his gun hung tare. Leonard turned and shot Dovle with his rule, and as the wounded man lay on the ground writhing with pain and mortally hurt walked up to him and fired three pistol balls into his head, killing him im-timly. Leonard then took DoyleV gun and shot Leroy, who has since died. lun' ard left word that he would surrender to the authorities, but last accounts has not done so, nor had he been captured. Murder and Suicide in Sioux City. Sioux Cm', March 24. Gustav Fried- erieh, a German saloon-keeper, fifty-six years of age, this morning shot and instautly killed a girl named Helen Eberhardt, aged fourteen. Friederich then shot himself twice, the last shot tearing away his heart. The shooting was done with a double-barrelled shotgun, and after the first two shots the man put in a fresh shell to do fatal work on himself. The shooting tool: place just back of Friederich's saloon. The girl at the time was passing through a narrow hallway to the apartments h re her parent's reside, Friederich being in the room oc cupied by him as a sleeping room, and where he had Wen sick for some weeks. The coroner's jury found that the man was insane. Friederich was in the habit of calling the girl his child, and seemed to be much attached to her. He left a letter, by which it appears that he fully contemplated suicide, but, as no reference is made to the girl, it is conjectured that the killing of her was a sudden impulse with h'.tn.

He gives the Jiames of wholesale druggists in Philadelphia who have sold his diplomas and names of parties to whom di plomas were issued. He relater how diplo mas were signeAby the facuty how, iu one instance, threo profeaors,5c five dollars each, signed five hundred diplomas, and Tiow, for" $350, diplomas which were to be sent abroad were certified to by the Spanish consul. In all about 10,000 names are tangled up in his dis closures. He has given the names of many professional abortionists, and the means whereby they destroy life. He tells of the tricks of his trade, quack nostrums that are ad vertised to cure all disease, and of impostors who prey on public credulity. He recites in cidents wherein he robbed graves, and how on one Saturday morning he stole five bodies from Block ley almshouse. He tells how he kept himself clear of courts and their pen alties. He tells of twenty-five concern in this countrv and in Europe bv which degrees are sold. He figures that fully 20,000 bogus diplomas are current in America and 40,000 more iu Europe. Buchanan also tells a story of his attempt to lead the public to believe he had committed suicide, ne says one night in August last he went to the Market Street ferry, where Van Dusen and a man known as "Shep" were waiting. Buchanan gave his coat to his "double," and drove off to the railroad. "Shep" passed on to the ferryboat to be sal uted by Halton as "Doc," and pointed out by Van Dusen as Dr. Buchanan. "Shep" had nothing to say on the boat, and this point was used by Van Dusen to impress on the deckhands the fact that the "'doctor is act ing strangely to-night." As the ferryboat turned to enter the canal, separating Ridge way park from Windmill lsknd, a skiff crossed the bow and lay close in under the shadow of the piles. "Shep" stripped him self of Buchanan's coat, plunged overboard, and with a few strokes caught hold of his partner's skiff, and clutching lightly to the stern was rowed down the river to below Point Airey, where heclamberea in, and was rowed along the Jersey side, and thenee across the river to his horn in Kensington. TALES OF A TELEGRAPHER Who Haa Spent the Six Month Last Past in the Land of the Monte. He llri Cilowiaa; Picture or the Fu ture of that Hitherto . Kather Backward Country. New York, March 24. James P. Scrimser, who went to Mexico last November in the interest of the Mexican Telegraph company, was seen yesterday by a Timet reporter. "I availed myself of every opportunity to ex amine into Mexican matters, Scrimser said; "and I assure you I return with most favoi able impressions of the country and its people. Mexico is destined to see a revival equalled only by the early days of California. On my arrival in the City of Mexico, in Novemberjlast, the prin cipal features of the laudscane as we ap proached the citv were crumbling fortifica tions. When I ieft iu January the principal features of the landscape were the new Grand Central depot, the Mexican Ceutral railroad, and the telegraph poles which were spring ing up as if by magic, indicating the rapid chances takinz place there. Every facility and encouragement for American enterprise is afforded by the government officials, and I was very much surprised to find that young men of the best families in Mexico all of them wealthy were willing to forego club life, pigeon shooting aud polo playing, aud take subordinate positions as account ants and draughtsmen in American railroad offices, simply to learn and to identify them selves with the progress of New Mexico. Mexicans do not feel at all uneasy regarding the possible annexation of that territory. Annexation would bring untold tn ubles. Oue fact many do'not realize: There are 9,000,000 of Roman Catholics in Mex ico, which, with the large Roman Catholic population of this country would produce those political and religious effects desirable to avoid. The officials in Mexico with whom I came in contact are equal in intelligence, manners and education to our authorities in Washington. They are fully imbued with the spirit of enterprise, peace and prosperity, and you can rest assured that under the present state of affairs Mexico will continue to prosper." WIXONA, MISS.

The North-Ger man Lloyd steamship company has em. ployed the steamship neiser, as an extra boat, having fitted her up especially for car rying immigrants. The eabius'fore and aft. have been re-arranged for steerage passenger accommodations, and no cabin passengers are carried. It was ordered when she left Bremen that she should return as soon as possible, whether she had freight or not, as thousands of immigrants were waiting trans portation. Accordingly, when she reaches her pier Wednesday evening, the superin tendent ol the steamer department at Castle Garden presses into service all steamers and barges at his command, to bring the immi grants from the vessel. The passengers com plained because they had to leave the vessel in the evening, and as they had to wait on the pier until their baggage was inspected, many of them, especially children, suffered lrom cold.

The governor lias appointed Rev. Daniel Watkins, colored, chaplain of the penitentiary. Senate. One hundred and three bills passed first reading.- The entire day was consumed in the consideration of the " ment bill, which passed reading. Hoiue. Tu i-ouse bill to provide for leas lug ine penitentiary at a minimum rental of $80,000 per annum, from the first Tuesday in September, 1832, passed third reading. Mr. Casaels's "coon bill," after having been thoroughly emasculated and loaded down with amendments, and after much amuse ment over il, was rejected by "a large major ity." The main obstacle to its passage was the provision to repeal section 3437 (a) of the code, which makis it a felony for the inter marriage of whites and blacks. Messrs. Beasley, Thompson, Steele, Goss and Manson presented protests against the passage of the 100 and 3 bill, on the ground that it was class legislation, unconstitutional and burdenrome; the coupon feature a person al insult to every citizen of the State and a deadly blow at the sovereignty of the people; that the bill was a fraud upon its face; that it was entitled "an act to compromise and settle the State debt," but should be entitled "an act to enslave the people and to plunder the people of Tennessee for the benefit of cer tain railroad men," because of the attempt to legislate for generations unborn; that the bonds were issued in aid of railroad corpora tions and no part of the debt; that the hold ers of the bonds issued for the benefit of the railroad had instituted suit against the rail road and it is now pending in the supreme court of the Uniled States; that it dismissed the bill without prejudice of the suit, etc. The senate resolution that the State ought to settle the debt at 60 and 6 was indefinitely postponed. The night session of the house was devoted to the passage of local bills, no quorum be ing present. withdrew it, quick. The low-tax element of both parties in tbe house met late this afternoon, and prepared an address to the people of Tennessee against the settlement of the State debt. Some of them subsequently became satisfied that the address was libelous, grew panicky and de moralized, ani hastened to -withdraw their names from the document. POLITICAL TICKINGS.

New York, March 24. The assembly committee on terminal facilities at the port of New York met to-day. One of the most important matters to be considered is the proposition to establish rates for warehous ing and elevating grain. - A protest will be made against the proposition. Its opponents take the view that to fix the maximum rates wonld be unjust, as the grain business has been unprofitable for many years, and that the rates which would be proper for the pres ent might not apply six months hence, peculators after Trinity Church.
