! s- Ji SOUTH AFRICAN COMMITTEE THE HOI'SE OF COMMONS VOTES FOR THE INQUIRY VU. CHAMBERLAIN AJOCOUKCBS THAT THK faTTO- ation in- Tun norn urtTBUC was OCT- tint, woaaa ixarsAD of better. London, Jan. 20.In the House of Commons to-day thc discussion of thc question of the a;>- potntnwnt of a committee to Inquire Into thc tumbles in Booth Africa waa resumed. In the r 'urse of the debate Joseph Chamberlain. Secre¬ tary of State for the Colonies, declared Ihat thc j. ..sltlon In South Africa was still unsettled, and t'vat during Ihe last few months lhere had boen I recurrence and Increase In growth ol* tho feel- ire of aarsst, which must be allayed. Matters bad been rendered much worse, ho said, by Ihe recent 'eRls'atlon cn the part of tho Hoer Parlia¬ ment, and, moreover, although President Kruger had again and again promised to give favorable consideration to thc grievances of the ritlanders, he hud not done so. Great Britain, Mr. Chamberlain declared, still maintained that pegce was Insecure, and would remain so until the Dltlanders" grievances '.vere redressed. He fi ii sure that an Inquiry by a committee formed I - -: * ; urpose would further those ends. S-.r William Harcourt, the leader of ihe Oppo- fll rn, reminded the House thnt the proposed In¬ quiry was not only for the House of Commons, but fer the whole world as well. He then spoke in favor of the motion and against the amend- jvent offered yesterday by M. J. Macl.ean, Which recited that In view of the peacerul settlement of the South African question and the punish- ment of the Transvaal raiders, lt would be In¬ expedient to reopen the matter, and needless to ri appoint the committee. Mr. Madigan then withdrew his amendment, e.n.l eventually a South African committee waa appointed. In reply to a question by Slr George Rader.- PoweU Mr. Chamberlain said that the Govern¬ ment, with the approval of Her Majesty, had Invited the Prime Ministers of the several colo- r.te.-i to come to Kngland and take part in the celebration of the completion of the sixtieth j ear ."f the (jueen's reign. (Cheers.) If the in¬ vitations were accepted. Mr. Chamberlain con¬ tinued, tho Premiers- would be the guests of <",r*-at Britain. (Cheers.) Replies to the lnvita- t! vs. he added, had already been received from the Premiers of Canada, and the other North Amer!* an colonies, the Cape Colony and Natal, all of which were extremely gratifying .-a) - WEYLER MAY BF.

Horr. It was sad to have that Information supplemented so soon by the announcement of his death. I have fi Hewed the debates in .'ongress, from a S boy, and remember quito distinctly the great strokes of wit which Mr. Horr made In the House. Ho you remember thc one In which he ridiculed tbs Idea of duelling? 1 think hs answered a practical challenge from Mr. Townsend, of Illi¬ nois, to Oenerai Garfield, though I have not looked it np for years. Mr. Horr said lie failed io see the courage which was sssumed by sumo gantk*- men when they proposed Ibo settlement of a dla* puta In a Banner which thpy knew no Northern man would accept Tho method was unfair, be¬ cause, If his colleague nnd himself were to fight a duel, bis colleague would he shooting al an oak of tho fores:, while h,. would have the disadvantage of tiring al a basswood sapling. Ha had noticed also that the result of duels had generally been that tha person killed was mo whose loss de¬ prived Ihe Nation of services which were valuable, while the duel left tha country a man whom lt couhl easily hmo spared, and. he added, "having noticed this fact, as a patriotic citizen, how could I engage In s duel?" This ls as near as 1 r.e.ill it. I met Mr. Horr quite a number ot times, and i.e! tbe pleasure, with Mrs. .Manon, of entertaining .;T-i twice at our home. Through personal ac¬ quaintance and speeches which j had heard and read, and In hla letters to The Tribune, I became more than attached to him. Ho lectured here In November, is**?, and the same evening .Maje:- McKinley spoke before the Homo Market Club. o'. Host on. 1 handed lum the paper neal morning, and. as he looked at the account ol Major McKinley'-, speech, he said: "A few weeks ego. Mr, McKinley told me that be Intended to say in hl:i address before this club thal there was nol a state In the inion when-, if s fair discus¬ sion could be held and ar. honest ballot taken, we could nol set a victory for protection." Mr. Horr had ass ired Mr. McKinley that he questioned tbe nc- curacj ot the statement ns to Texas. K.-ntuckv and Arkansas, and so Mr. Horr was Interested io know what Mr. McKinley had said in his speech. He waa pleased to note that the Impression read: "There ls scarcely a .State in tho I'nlon." rhe Nation has lost a great men and a good man. and the combination is somewhat rare. mu. v. ,.

Bli: Apropos of your editorial Item a day or two since In regard to tho disastrous fall tn the values of farming land In England, the following extract from W. E. H. Lecky's lately published "Democ¬ racy ani Liberty" may have an Interest for some of your readers: No fact ls moro conspicuous In the nineteenth century than the strength of tho reaction that has laaen place against the free trade principles wl.i-h. within the m-mory of nun still livinK. were a most completely dominant in the more advanced economical roaching of the world, and which seemed likely in a few years to control all tim more civilised slslatures Whether we look to the despotic monarchies or to the democratic re¬ publics, whether w>- consider the crowded popula¬ tions ol Europe or Ihe thinly scattered Inhabitants ot Australia or New-Zealand, the sam- lesson may be learned. Nearly everywhere the old free trade doctrine is a vanquished ur a declining creed, and ".hie* disputes relate to the forms whl h pro¬ tection should t ike, to ihe degrees to which it may l>.- wisely carried. . Even in England, "li ls beginning to be said" that "a system under which the greatest and mos-. Important ot all national Industries (agriculture) is almost hopelessly paralysed, under which lana is fast I Nins out >>f cultivation, and the agricultu¬ ral populatli -i flocking more and mun. to the con¬ gested towna, cannot be really -food for Om nation, lt i~ more and mote repeat, d that the pr.-at rush of prosp. rlty that undoubtedly followed the repeal of the i'..rr, lawa was largely due to the si rca nt lc sold tllai overles, whl rh kepi up pn. es, while they stlmu- lat. il ent. rprlse; that the predictions of agricultural ruin ma.I.- by the ..ld protectionists, which were once laughed to scorn, are fasi becoming true. What may be the final issue of this momentous controversy, on which tho civilized world la so iie.-piy divided, I shan ur.* ventura to forecast." ("Democracy and Liberty," 2, MS-S.)

Tba Mayor bare endeavors ta show thal the increase in tbe municipal bonded debi i- a srlaa investment, because tbe expenditure ls for public improvements, which c.msc an Increase in real estate values and consequent Increased assessable values, from which the taxes collected will pay curreni municipal ex- [.ensea nnd produce a fund which ultimately will liquidate the nonda 'i h. fa. ta Jo not justify the Mayor la such conclu- i on. Public Improvements are desirable for thc public convenience; this is sufficient reason for ma kine them. The expense, however, is not met out nf an In r.-ase In taxable values due to these public improvements, but .,, p barge and burden on house. en ners and tenants.

PINN AND LEONARD Btl.lA 'i'o the Editor -¦; The Trll Bl I respectfully esk you io correct some in¬ accuracies which appear.-d In \oiir report of what occurred before the Cities Committee of ths ls- aembly <>n Tuesday, the Mth, In Albany, entitled ".'ity Measures Opposed." I did nol know that Mr. Leonard's or Mr. Finn's bill was to ba dla- cussed on thal dav by th- Cities Committee, i was before them with s delegation to urge them to report favorably on the lilli for the erection of ii inw Hall of I'.-cords. As I was about to leave the room, having a copy of Mr. Finn's bill In my i ind, it occurred io me to a*-k Mr. Austin, the chairman of the committee, if there would he a beering on the bill that day. He told nie there would. At that moment he culled up Mr. Leonsrd'S bill, which, in my opinion, from the casual stance which I took at it, waa even more vicious than Mr. Pion's bill, aa, from ths explanation of Mr. I.- .I.ini, it save truckmen the privilege of erect¬ ing offices within ihe stoop-line, without the eon- sent of tba owners or occupants of the adjoining property. Just Imagine de position s merchant renting a store twenty or twenty-five f- -t front would find hlmsell In. on getting to his business in the morn¬ ing, to find a carpenter putting up a small house, five feet wide, seven cr eight feet high and seven ta ten feel long, without his consent!

You have Invaded our benighted content¬ ment and led us out Into broad lb Ids of ¦dsntlflo discovery.

If this has th* appearance of exacting too much, or If business considerations present obst-icls* io its aecompllah- ment. I think we ought, perhaps, to reduce our claims, or at least give our doctors time to lind other employment. ti the mean time, those of us who are conserva¬ tive must be allowed to hope that further investi¬ gation will continue to point the way to tbe pre¬ vention of dlaease. For this investigation we must still relv upon the efforts of those who have already done so much In that direction, encouraged and stimulated by such effective organisations sa 'he Academy of Medicine. We are mire that 'ids work, having arrested the attention of the world's brotherhood of medical science, will not h- neg¬ lected: nor need we fear that America's contribu¬ tion to splendid results will he deficient. Jn som- Instances, however, Investigation has perform, d its part and onlv effective action In ntii-r quarters is necessary to supply needed reme¬ dies. Iti such ens-s. of course, you are absolved from all responsibility In your professional char¬ il, ter by exhibiting dangers and warning against them. Thus certain diseases which you deem con¬ tagious ye! remain Imperfectly Isolated.

Within the limits of your professional power and Influence you s.k to restrain any approach to criminal malpractice; yet newspapers disgustingly, though covertly, ad¬ vertise the way to such crimes, and startle their readers with sensational tales of death and misery to which they are directly acessory. 1 need not siigg«st (fiat such evils are allowed to exist by reason of the Insufficiency of our laws or t laxity in their execution. 1 have Intimated that for this condition you are not responsible i-i a profes¬ sions! sense: bul are you sure that, aa clttsens, you are doing all In your power to remedy the situation1 NOT ONLY A PHYSICIAN. The village doctor was not onlv our physician, but he was u man of Influence In all neighborhood affairs. In every matter that concerned the roo*! of the community he was at the front.

Thus he joined with the performance of profeaalo'al duly a discharge of the obligations of rltlsenshlp. \\'e cannot hut think that tie discoveries and Im¬ provements In the medical practice which we now . m. ¦. are dearly bought if the membera ol the pro¬ fession lu their onwr.nl mar.h have left behind th-m their dense of civic obligation and their In ter¬ se! lu the gem ral public welfar* We cannot aecuae you of utter neglect of your duty to the country; and ye! we cannol keep out of mind Sn. suspicion that if your profa-sslonal work in exposing evila were more thorough I* supplemented by lal.or In the Held of cltlz* nship. the-.- evils would be more speed¬ ily corie, t. ,1 If laws are needed to abolish abuses which your professional Investigations have unearthed, your rraternit) should not be strangers to tin agencies which mrik- the ir.ws.

Ji SOUTH AFRICAN COMMITTEE

THE HOI'SE OF COMMONS VOTES FOR

THE INQUIRY

VU. CHAMBERLAIN AJOCOUKCBS THAT THK faTTO-

ation in- Tun norn urtTBUC was OCT-

tint, woaaa ixarsAD of better.

London, Jan. 20.In the House of Commons

to-day thc discussion of thc question of the a;>-

potntnwnt of a committee to Inquire Into thc

tumbles in Booth Africa waa resumed. In the

r 'urse of the debate Joseph Chamberlain. Secre¬

tary of State for the Colonies, declared Ihat thc

j. ..sltlon In South Africa was still unsettled, and

t'vat during Ihe last few months lhere had boen

I recurrence and Increase In growth ol* tho feel-

ire of aarsst, which must be allayed. Matters

bad been rendered much worse, ho said, by Ihe

recent 'eRls'atlon cn the part of tho Hoer Parlia¬ment, and, moreover, although PresidentKruger had again and again promised to givefavorable consideration to thc grievances of the

ritlanders, he hud not done so. Great Britain,Mr. Chamberlain declared, still maintained that

pegce was Insecure, and would remain so until

the Dltlanders" grievances '.vere redressed. He

fi ii sure that an Inquiry by a committee formed

I - -: * ; urpose would further those ends.

S-.r William Harcourt, the leader of ihe Oppo-fll rn, reminded the House thnt the proposed In¬

quiry was not only for the House of Commons,

but fer the whole world as well. He then spokein favor of the motion and against the amend-

jvent offered yesterday by M. J. Macl.ean, Whichrecited that In view of the peacerul settlement

of the South African question and the punish-ment of the Transvaal raiders, lt would be In¬

expedient to reopen the matter, and needless to

ri appoint the committee.Mr. Madigan then withdrew his amendment,

e.n.l eventually a South African committee waa

appointed.In reply to a question by Slr George Rader.-

PoweU Mr. Chamberlain said that the Govern¬

ment, with the approval of Her Majesty, had

Invited the Prime Ministers of the several colo-

r.te.-i to come to Kngland and take part in thecelebration of the completion of the sixtiethj ear ."f the (jueen's reign. (Cheers.) If the in¬

vitations were accepted. Mr. Chamberlain con¬

tinued, tho Premiers- would be the guests of<",r*-at Britain. (Cheers.) Replies to the lnvita-t! vs. he added, had already been received fromthe Premiers of Canada, and the other North

Amer!* an colonies, the Cape Colony and Natal,all of which were extremely gratifying

SELECTIONS FROM THE MAIL

A TRIRT'TE TO MR. HORR.HIS liTU-AT STROKER OF WIT IN" I OWtlgM1I0W>11

l'KRATR-WS IM'OTF.cTIONIST VIEWS*.

To the Editor of The Tribune.¦lr: I recently applied to The Tribune for In¬

formation In regard to Roswell (J. Horr. It was

sad to have that Information supplemented so soon

by the announcement of his death.I have fi Hewed the debates in .'ongress, from a

S boy, and remember quito distinctly the greatstrokes of wit which Mr. Horr made In the House.Ho you remember thc one In which he ridiculedtbs Idea of duelling? 1 think hs answered a

practical challenge from Mr. Townsend, of Illi¬nois, to Oenerai Garfield, though I have not lookedit np for years. Mr. Horr said lie failed io see

the courage which was sssumed by sumo gantk*-men when they proposed Ibo settlement of a dla*puta In a Banner which thpy knew no Northernman would accept Tho method was unfair, be¬cause, If his colleague nnd himself were to fight a

duel, bis colleague would he shooting al an oakof tho fores:, while h,. would have the disadvantageof tiring al a basswood sapling. Ha had noticedalso that the result of duels had generally beenthat tha person killed was mo whose loss de¬prived Ihe Nation of services which were valuable,while the duel left tha country a man whom ltcouhl easily hmo spared, and. he added, "havingnoticed this fact, as a patriotic citizen, how couldI engage In s duel?" This ls as near as 1 r.e.ill it.

I met Mr. Horr quite a number ot times, andi.e! tbe pleasure, with Mrs. .Manon, of entertaining.;T-i twice at our home. Through personal ac¬quaintance and speeches which j had heard andread, and In hla letters to The Tribune, I becamemore than attached to him.Ho lectured here In November, is**?, and the same

evening .Maje:- McKinley spoke before the HomoMarket Club. o'. Host on. 1 handed lum the paperneal morning, and. as he looked at the accountol Major McKinley'-, speech, he said: "A few weeksego. Mr, McKinley told me that be Intended to sayin hl:i address before this club thal there wasnol a state In the inion when-, if s fair discus¬sion could be held and ar. honest ballot taken, wecould nol set a victory for protection." Mr. Horrhad ass ired Mr. McKinley that he questioned tbe nc-curacj ot the statement ns to Texas. K.-ntuckvand Arkansas, and so Mr. Horr was Interested ioknow what Mr. McKinley had said in his speech.He waa pleased to note that the Impression read:"There ls scarcely a .State in tho I'nlon."rhe Nation has lost a great men and a good man.and the combination is somewhat rare.

A VANQUISHED AND DECLINING CREED.I.K'.KY'S COMMENT! ON" THE DY1XC1 OCT OF PREg

TKAI>E IN* MODEM CIVILIZATION.To tho Editor of The Tribune.

Bli: Apropos of your editorial Item a day or twosince In regard to tho disastrous fall tn the valuesof farming land In England, the following extractfrom W. E. H. Lecky's lately published "Democ¬racy ani Liberty" may have an Interest for someof your readers:No fact ls moro conspicuous In the nineteenth

century than the strength of tho reaction that haslaaen place against the free trade principleswl.i-h. within the m-mory of nun still livinK. werea most completely dominant in the more advancedeconomical roaching of the world, and whichseemed likely in a few years to control all timmore civilised slslatures Whether we look tothe despotic monarchies or to the democratic re¬publics, whether w>- consider the crowded popula¬tions ol Europe or Ihe thinly scattered Inhabitantsot Australia or New-Zealand, the sam- lesson maybe learned. Nearly everywhere the old free tradedoctrine is a vanquished ur a declining creed, and".hie* disputes relate to the forms whl h pro¬tection should t ike, to ihe degrees to which it mayl>.- wisely carried. .

Even in England, "li ls beginning to be said"that "a system under which the greatest and mos-.Important ot all national Industries (agriculture)is almost hopelessly paralysed, under which lanais fast I Nins out >>f cultivation, and the agricultu¬ral populatli -i flocking more and mun. to the con¬gested towna, cannot be really -food for Om nation,lt i~ more and mote repeat, d that the pr.-at rushof prosp. rlty that undoubtedly followed the repeal ofthe i'..rr, lawa was largely due to the sircant lc soldtllai overles, whl rh kepi up pn. es, while they stlmu-lat. il ent. rprlse; that the predictions of agriculturalruin ma.I.- by the ..ld protectionists, which wereonce laughed to scorn, are fasi becoming true.What may be the final issue of this momentouscontroversy, on which tho civilized world la so

iie.-piy divided, I shan ur.* ventura to forecast."("Democracy and Liberty," 2, MS-S.)Ail which, from a pronounced antl-protectlonlst,

beering on the bill that day. He told nie there

would. At that moment he culled up Mr. Leonsrd'Sbill, which, in my opinion, from the casual stancewhich I took at it, waa even more vicious than

Mr. Pion's bill, aa, from ths explanation of Mr.I.- .I.ini, it save truckmen the privilege of erect¬ing offices within ihe stoop-line, without the eon-
