What Mlatatrr '/.eltalloa SuyM of the Efrrt of the Xew Tariff Bill Fam ed by CongreM. Minister Zeballos of the Argentine Repub lic suys a remarkable stimulation of the wool Industry of his country- has resulted from the enactment of the tariff law In this country. Raw wool has made heavy ad vances In the Argentine markets, similar to the rise In I.<ondon and Paris, and ex tensive preparations are being made for the wool exports to this country. Mr. Zeballos is just back from New York, where ho found that merchants were largely increas ing their wool orders, and that new steam ship lines were being projected to handle the new trade. Whnt We IlonKht Lait Year. The minister says this country bought $2,000,000 of the coarse grade, long-combed Argentine wool last year, but the trade promises to reach $?!,000,000 thl3 year. This coarse grade Is used In Philadelphia, Boston and elsewhere for carpets, blankets and other heavy woolens. The trade In fine n.erlno wools promises to triple In the same manner. These Argentine wools are of a peculiar kind, not grown in this country, and have been imported in spite of previous wool tariffs; but their use will now be much augmented. Minister Zeballos says the In creased price of wool overcomes the fears felt by American wool growers that the foreign competitors would pull down the price and kill the American wool production. The minister says that, on the contrary, the Increased trade shows that the American woolen factories Intend to enlarge their work, while the increased price of raw wool shows that the American wool raisers have not lost anything. A Revival of Uaslaesa. Minister Zeballos has an Interesting bud get of information from his country show ing a revival of business. An English syn dicate has made a proposition to the gov ernment to build 3,000 miles of railway, making a complete system through the In terior, of Argentine. English'capital has been timid during the tinanclal depression in the republic, so that the heavy invest ments are regarded as an augury of pros perity. Minister Zeballos Is also informed that immigration has taken a great start, after being at a standstill for live years. The government expects 'J10,000 Immigrants this year. AI.F.XASDRJA AFFAIRS.

GORMAN REPUDIATED Action of the Carroll County, Mi, Democracy. A Lively ScmIob of the Coareatloa at Weatatlaater?D. N. Heaalas Ia dorsrd for Cvagrtu. A lively meeting of the democracy of Carroll county, Maryland, was held yester day at Westminster, In Congressman Tal bott's district, at which resolutions were adopted Indorsing the administration and denouncing the course of the Maryland Sen ators In the tariff bill dispute In Congress. The convention adopted the following res olutions withoMt a dissenting voice: "The democrats of Carroll county, in con vention assembled, again assert their faith in the wisdom, prudcnce and transcendent ability of Grovcr Cleveland, and stand with him In his efforts to eradicate the last vestige of protection from the statute books." The r-rsolution declares that the new law Is a long step away from the McKlnley law, and proceeds: "We hereby record our disapproval of the action of the Senate In engrafting on the Wilson bill legislation in the interest of trusts and monopolies, and we especially repudiate the course of Senators Gorman and Gibson therein, and declare that they are untlt to longer represent the democracy of Maryland or the country in the national legislature. "And we further repudiate Gorman meth ods and Gormanism in this state that de nies to the public the right to control their own affairs, and are undemocratic, unpa triotic, and, if allowed to be continued, will result in disaster to the party. There must be no step backward, and the demo c -ats of Carroll promise hearty co-operation with Presidei.t Cleveland In redeeming the oarty pledges, and as guarantee of their fidelity offer to the democracy of this con gressional district as a fitting nominee David N Ht fining of Westminster, an orig inal Cleveland supporter at the national conver.tio?. ot 1S84, a firm adherent ever Unce, and one of the most earnest and ad vance! of tax reformers, and to cast their v<,tes at To v on for no one who does not Indorse these declarations. "We pledge hlin our loyal support and earnestly recommend him to the delegates cbcsen t,y this convention to labor for his nomination. "We declare that It Is the sense of this convention, and we recommend It for adop tion by the sec..nil congressional convention that the United States Senators should be elected by the direct vote of the people." The resolutions wore adopted amid rous ing cheers and cries for Cleveland and Sen ator Bennett. At the mention of President Cleveland's name the crowd yelled with dellglu. and feet and hands were largely In the "game." When the names of Senators Gorman and Gibson were mentioned there was a mixture of cheers and hisses. The last clause of the resolutions, calling for the election of Senators by the people, seemed to be the exact sentiment of the assemblage, tor the convention and specta tors rose and cheered; hais went up 111 ihe air and shouts of "Good! Good!" could l>e heard all over the hall. ? Robert Sellman of Mt. Airy district said, In opposition to indorsing Mr. Hennlng: "I wish to speak in unmistakable tones. No man Is a greater tariff reformer than I am. Free wool, sugar, iron, coal, and. In fact, nothing could be made too free for me. llut, Mr. Chairman, 110 man has given more evi dence or has gimp further than Mr. Talbott. He even went further than President Cleve land himself." The crowd br,,ke loose and hiss:-d. Mr. Sellman, turning to the rear of the hall, said: "1 will wait until you get through." Resuming, he said: "When the caucus was called and the President recommended that Congress should accede to the Senate bill, Mr. Talbott even then voted to stand firm." As Mr. Sellman t.Hik his seat the i hair man of the convention Faid: "This Is not a fight against Mr. Gorman, but we want to divorce the party from his influence!; not only from him. but from every man who sustains him." "Where is he In it? 1 say he Is not It," said Mr. Sellman. "He is in It and his henchmen are here doing his bidding," the chairman replied. At this reply the crowd gave vent to their feelings by yells and feet stamping. ? The vote was taken by districts and the Hennlng delegates received 40 votes and the opposition ?"> votes, being the entire vote of the five districts which they controlled. The opposition to Henning gave up the fight Saturday night, but hoped to be able to stave off any resolutions which might prove distasteful to Mr. Gorman, and it was stated that a request was made not to have any personal allusions. ? - - ?? ?

Mr. KlUeen favored the establishment of more lower grade schools neat year and be though: the High School could wait an other year or two. Mr. Sowerbutts favored the original reso lution. for the reason that It wan Intended to protect life, and when that bulMIng Is obtained then the question of additional higher and lower grades might be con sidered.

Stewart as the presiding officer. The lat ter In a brief rpeech of welcome, referred to Frederick Douglaas aa "the Gladstone of ft struggling ra-e." Mr. Douglass se lected as his theme "The Negro Problem." and he said that owlrg to the wide Im portance of this problem It might more properly be called the Stmerlcan problem. He said that America was anxious to hsve Englano keep her hands off. the people of the south wanted the people of the north to keep their hands off and the negro wanted the people of the south to keep their hands off. He did not like the atti tude of aecrecy that tha people of thla ooun try held toward this problem. In hi* opin ion It betokened fear of Investigation, and thla waa not the characteristic of Inno cence. Were there nothing to hide America would be willing to be examined by all tha world, for there la no protection stronger than that of Innocence. It remained to be seen, he said, whether thera was enough fair play and honesty In the country to carry out the ethics of tha Constitution. He thought that thera was. The colored man. he aald. would. In a great measure, have to work out hla own salvation, but once given a fair chance he was equal to the task. An original poem was recited by J. W. Cole.
