The guests of the Fifth Avenue hotel have for the last three weeks devoted considerable attention to a gentleman who can be seen almost any night in the corridor. He is Mr. William Cooper, and a very remarkable man in more than one particular.

His face is nearly covered with a reddish beard, and tne upper part is tanned and weather beaten to an extent that raises many doubts as to his nativity.

The Republicans have some hope that it will be possible to pass a tariff bill in this congress. But it must be admitted that their hopes are not based upon a very substantial foundation. The plan Ls to pass a bill through the senate at the earliest possible moment after congress shall reassemble. The agreement by which a holiday recess was decided upon does not prevent the Republicans from ordering that the senate shall meet at 11 o'clock on each day, and it may also hold- evening sessions. Tne only thing absolutely determined is that the final vote upon the measure and all its amendments shall commence not later than January 21.

The Republicans will endeavor to have that vote taken as much earlier as is practicable. To accomplish -this purpose their will make no more speeche-s wi sup(Krt of the bill than are deemed necessary to explain its provisions or to reply to attacks upon it which maybe duemed severe. What the purpose of the Democrats is, is not known. The indications at the time If you believe that all men are TAEIFF BLTOEMEES, The ilassachusetts League Meeting at Boston ffo gables P-esent.

R. Bodman, Hon. Leopold Morse, Jesse Metcalf and W. M. Endlcott.

Hon. W. E. Ruisall presided and in an opening speech said that the gathering was not one of interested capitalists to rejoice over a poll' ical victory, but a gathering in the interests of the propagation of a great political economic reform. President Cleveland's letter was then read.

It was as follows: Executive Mansion, 1 Washington, D. Dec. 2L Messrs. Sherman. Hoar and others, committee: Gentlemen I am exceedingly sorry that I cannot be present at the annual dinner of the Massachusetts Tariff Reform league on 28th inst.

This concession is said to was a rumseller, owning hve saloons, and a good man to make dirty deals with. Also, there were two democratic candidates Mr. Cavanaugh, rum-seller and brewer, and a Mr. Fitizger-ald.

The latter is a young man of excellent habits and a college graduate. With two democratic candidates in the field one would naturally suppose that republican would have a good chanc-for an election. But all at once the re publican saloon keeper withdraws and Mr. Quay, chairman of the republican national committee, writes to M. T.

There are three Republicans who are opposed to to this schedule. They are the two senators from Kansas and Senator Stanford, of California.

It degrades business and often makes success therein the prize of dishonor. It corrupts the people. But how can this question be settled? There are two kinds of this so-called protective tariff the one old fashioned, now nearly obsolete, that of Henry Clay, son etimes called "the promotion of infant industries," the underlying principle of which was, if I rightly understand it, that there were certain important industries which, if sustained by the promise of an assured market this countty, would in a short time, become so established that they could give their products to our people as cheaply as they could be bought anywhere in the world; the others the modern protective tariff, the tariff which was embodied in the platform of the party successful in the late election, has as its foundation the principle that it is best for the American people to buy and nse certain articles, or, in the language of tne late Republican platform, articles which can be produced in this country only when thus produced or manufactured, cost what they may. and that to the promotion of this end all the powers of the federal government should be invoked. The statement of the principles of this protective tariff shows it can be settled.

It could even be embodied in the constitution. We have but to provide that no articles which can be produced or made in this country shall be imported or that shall le imported or that they shall be subject to duty of sav 1 000 per cent ad valorem. This would settle the question and remove it from politics. This settlement, however, can only be had after the principle involved has been held naked before the people, has been fully considered and discussed by them and approved By an overwhelming majority. This question has not yet been so presented to the people and the blame for its non-preentment rests with those business men and manufacturers who were so active in the late canvass and who will now complain that your agitation tends to disturb that whi for their interest ought to be settled.

I do not remember one document or one one argument actively circulated among the people daring the Inst year which presented or attempted to present this qu stiun pure and simple. Ou the other baud, we can all recall many documents and appeals, the sole purpose of which was to divert men's thoughts from this question and to confuse their minds upon this issue It would be wearisome said the speaker, to tell the long ist of nou-arjuments and yet go to any norihern, moral community, and ask the inhabitants lo give a reason for their action upon the tariff, and see if you will get a satisfactory reply. Now and then you may hear a nebulous something about, a home market, but it will be nebulous indeed. Now such arguments, so presented, have not settled and can not settle a principle for the future. We are told that the modern tariff idea is popular iu some of the southern states and that the party which advocates it will soon be strengthened by their support.

This may or may not be true. They can only be gained for it by presenting it clearly and fairly to the people of those states. They cannot be won by picturing to the peoola of the north the dangers which they have to fear from old men who used to be rebel brigadiers before many of the present voters were born. ship yards yesterday for the Delaware bay, there to have a test of her speed, returned to the ship yard at 1 o'clock this afternoon.

The G.xw of a Vessel Eelates Strange Experience "With a Spook at Sea. Baltimore, Dec. 28. When the Quebec-k bark Madura, Captain Bernier, arrived from Pisagua, Chili, after a voyage of 110 days, several of the crew hurried off the vessel, parrying their belongings with them and declaring that they would not sail on it again for double wages. Capfciin Bernier said the men had become very superstitious al believed the bark was haunted.

He related how the vessel left New York, September 23, 187. with a general cargo, for Brisbane, Australia, from which place she sailed for Xew Castle, New South Wales. On November 17, a hazy, rough day, the vessel was suddenly surrounded by thousands of birds. Captain Bernier regarded this as a phenomena he could not account for. About noon the cook a Maltese named Theunia went forward to clean some -h, and while at work the roll of the vessel snapped the fastenings of a piece of wood on the weather side.

The piece of wood was hurled through the air with such force that, striking Theuma on the head, it cut his skull half in two. One part of his skull went overboard. The man died instantly. He was buried at sea. The same evening, and almost simultaneously with the descent of his body into the sea, the myriad of birds disappeared.

These facts are recorded iu the log of the Madura. Prom Xew Castle the Madura carried coal to Callao, and, proceeding to Pisaqua, loaded for Baltimore. The vessel had not been out long when a Norwegian began to complain of seeing a strange man in the forecastle at night, when the sailor was in his berth with the watch below. His tales were laughed at because he had never seen the cook, having shipped after the latter's death. But the apparition continued to present itself to the sailor, and the description he gave of his nocturnal visitor, and with its repetition there grew an abiding faith in the minds of others that the ghost of the man accompanied the Madura.

This mixture of fear and fact was intensified when the boatswain, who looks as if he kuew neither fear nor sentiment, said, with bated breath and bulged eyes, that he bad seen the cook ou deck several times at night. Once the apparition beckoned him to follow it, but he declined to go overboard, the cook's ghost deliberately steppiug off the stern of the vessel it. to the sea. Whether true or not, it was noticed that the men were afterwards seen more together dnri nil he night watch on deck tha previous fro the discovery of a nun on board who was known to be therein flesh. Capt.

Bernier has no faith in the supernatural, but the fear among the men seemed a little out of the ordinary course of things, even to him.
