A BAD SUGAR OUTDOOR.
Planters Talk of Turning to the Cultiva
tion of Rice.
There appears to t>e hard times ahead
for the Louisiana 9Ugar planters, says a
New Orleans special. Menaced by the
proposed trade treaty with Spain, which
permits the competition of Cuban sugars,
the possibility of a renewal of the Morri
son horizontal reduction of duties, sup
plemented by the impression that the gen
eral government will dump overboard no
more Federal treasure for levee building,
some of the most sagacious sugar plant
ers on the Mississippi river are preparing
to abandon the cultivation of sugar cane to
go into planting rice. This is especially the
case with all that class ol planters who
have become embarrassed in the course
of planting operations and gotten behind
wits their merchants. Rice seems to be
the coming crop of Southern Louisiana,
and if, in addition to the present prevail
ing low prices in sugar, the treaty with
Spain is ratified it will almost entirely
supersede the cultivation of cane, it
will only be the large planters who have
fortunes invested in sugar houses and the
machinery and necessary apparatus for
sugar-making who will have the hardi
hood to continue to plant that crop at the
present unremunerative prices. Those
best iuformed claim that the rice crop
will net S4O to the acre, with much less
outlay and less risk than sugar-planting
involves.

—Senator McPherson Proposes a Sus
pension of the Silver Dollar Coin
age.
Washington, Dec. 3.— ln the Senate
to-day Mr. Vest’s resolution of yesterday,
calling for an investigation into the
leases made by Indian tribes of land in
the Indian Territory, was taken up.
An amendment offered by Mr. Conger was
agreed to, including within the scope of the
investigation leases of land in the Indian
reservations.
Mr. Plumb, referring to Mr. Vest’s criti
cisms made yesterday on the course of the
Interior Department, said that the present
Secretary of the Interior was only following
precedents set by his predecessors. Much of
the laud held by Indians, Mr. Plumb con
tinued, was land "that they did not and would
not need, and which was fit for agriculture.
It was becoming a question for Congress to
consider whether, owing to the rapid ex
hau-tion of the oublic domain, some of these
lands should not be obtained for settlement.
He hi.ped that the investigation now contem
plated would result in suggesting a plan
which would reconcile the needs of settlers
and the Indians. The resolution was then
agreed to.
Several Senators were at their own request
relieved from present committee assign
ments.
A couple of hills of minor importance com
ing over from the last seesion were passed.
Mr. Slater gave notice that on Monday next

istence on July 7. 1884, were continued, and

jiower to fill existing vacancies, or such as
may occur this wees. The Senate then at
12:55 went into executive session, and when,
at 1:15 o’clock, the doors were reopened the
Senate adjourned.
IN THK HOUSE.
In the House to-day, on motion of Mr.
Cobb, of Indiana, the Senate amendments to
the House bill, lorfeiling the unearned land
grant to the Atlantic aiid Pacific Road, was
iionconcurrcd in. At 12:30, on motion of Mr.
Randall, of Pennsylvania, the House went
into committee of the whole, with Mr. Cox.
of New York, in the chair on the bill
making temporary provision for the naval
service. No amendments were offered to the
bill and no discussion was had upon it, Mr.
Randall merely making a brief statement to
show that the total appropriation for the sun
lort of the navy for the current fiscal year
was $15,630,100, a reduction of $258,208 from the
appropriation for the previous year.
When the cimmittee rose, the bi'l was
passed and the House resumed consideration
of the inter-state commerce bill.
Messrs. Seymour of Connecticut, Long of
Massachusetts and Peters of Kansas argued
Ihe importance of the subject before the
House, and supported with certain limita
tion the bill reported by the committee. Mr.
Peters cited instances of wrongs perpetrated
by railroad companies upon the producing
classes of the country by unreasonable
charges for freight transportation, and de
clared that remedial legislation on the sub
ject was imperatively demanded. Such
remedial legislation was contained in the pro
visions of the bill under consideration. He
strongly favor-d the commission plan, con
tending that all legislation which was con
servative in its nature should be conservative
and not radical. At the conclusion of Mr.
Peters’ remarks, the subject matter went
over until to-morrow.
On motion of Mr. Morrison, it was ordered
that when the House adjourn to-morrow it
be to meet on Monday next. The House
then, at 3:35 o’clock, adjourned.

KEY WEST A DOOMED CITY - .
A Local Editor Takes an Alarming View
of the Spanish Treaty’s Tobacco
Clause.
Key West, Dec. 3. —The Florida News,
published here by ex-Congressman Me
nard, says in this morning’s issue with
reference to the tobacco clause in the
Spanish treaty:
If the treaty is ratified by the Senate with
this clause, Key West is a doomed city. It
would closo up every cigar factory, force
about 7,000 of our cbizens out of employment,
and entail a 106s of about $2,000,000 in prop
erty. The present tariff rates on imported
cigars are $2 50 per pound and 25 per cent,
ad valorem, aud if the treaty should be rati
fied in its present shape they would be re
duced toll 25 per pound and 121 * per cent, ad
valorem, a reduction which would render our
Key West manufacturers unable to cope
with those of Cuba. The margin of profit is
already small, and the proposed reduction
would certainly wipe it out completely. With
this danger menacing this city it behooves all
classes ot our citizens to join in a movement
against a ratification of the tobacco clause in
the treaty. Our cigar industry is the main
prop of this city, and, if this is knocked out,
ft will go back to wbat it was in 1870.”

which has been widely circulated by the
press throughout the country, whereby
she is made to ex'press predictions as to
the future management of the White

declares the statements to be absurdly
false and annoying in the extreme, and
she says tbatf she has nothing to make

ered from Tfielr Bodies—All Asleep
when Assailed. —The Murderers Flee
in a Stolen Buggy—Posses tn Pursuit.
Baixbridge, Ga., Dec. 3.—lnformation
has reached here of a horrible triple
murder, which was committed about five
miles from l’elham, in Alitchell county,
last night. The victims were:
Stephen Godwin.
Matilda Gregory, Godwin’s house
keeper.
Richard Gregory, aged 21 years, son of
the housekeeper.
The bloody deed was committed about
1 o’clock in the morning, and all the par
ties were asleep.
THROATS SLASHED FROM EAR TO EAR.
Thev were found this morning in bed
with their throats cut, their heads being
nearly severed from their bodies. It' is
thought that the purpose of the murder
was robbery, as it was reported that God
win had a large sum of money. This, how
ever, they failed to get, it being elsewhere.
BOLD THEFT.
After the terrible deed was committed
the murderers stole a horse and buggy
and made their way into Florida or Ala
bama. A posse was organized this morn
ing, and ate in pursuit of the murderers.

some going to Florida and others to
Alabama. A reward of S3OO has been

A THREE-SIDED FIGHT.
Barbourvflle. Ky., Patrolled by Armed
Men of Different Minds.
Louisville, Dec. 3.—A Courier-Jour
nal’s correspondent at Barbourville, Ky.,
learned from a couple of lawyers who
have just returned from Whitesburg,
Letcher county, the particulars of a state
of war prevailing there. A man was to
be tried for murder, but on that day his
friends determined that he should not be
punished. The ca9e was set for last
Wednesday, and on that day the accused
came marching into town carrying a
double-barreled shotgun and a belt full of
revolvers, followed by a score of his
friends armed to the teeth. These
were almost immediately followed
by another crowd of the same
size, all carrying shotguns and
pistols. The latter company was com
posed of friends of the victim, who en
camped on a bluff overlooking and com
manding the town. Meantime a third
band —composed of citizens who thought
that the law should be allowed to take
its way and peace be preserved, “even if
they had to kill every desperado in the
county to secure that end,” organized,
armed themselves and went on duty, to
stay until after the court had adjourned,
The bands composed of the lriends of the
murdered man and those of his murderer
are watching each other closely, one to
keep the other in town and the other to
keep their foes out, while the citizens’
band stands ready to attempt to clean out
the entire party when the trouble begins.

ing:
fiesolved. That we desire to convey to our
gal'ant standard bearers, Hon. J. G. Blaine
ami Gen. John A. Logan, an expression of our
confidence and esteem, that we regard Blaine
and Logan as private citizens as higher and
better representatives of American manhood
than anv official representative of the Demo
cratic party; that we recognize in J.
G. Blaine’ the greatest living rep
resentative of American Republicanism,
and tender to him our earnest thanks for his
manly and aggressive campaign for Repub i
can supremacy; that Kansas, the firstborn
child of Republicanism, again pledges her
fidelity to Republican principles iu the future
as in the past. Kansas will march at the head
of the Republican oolumn, giving more Re
publican majority in proportion to her popu
lation than oilier State.
The Secretary was instructed to forward a
copy or the resolutions to J. G. Blaine aud
John A. Logan.

ILLINOIS TRICKERY.
The Iroquois Club Urges that no Mercy
be Shown the Culprits.
Chicago, Dec. 3. —The Federal grand
jury to-day* visited the office of the County
Clerk and personally examined the vault
from which it is charged the envelope
containing the ballots cast in the Second
precinct of the Eighteenth ward was
abstracted and 200 forged tickets put in
place of a like number cast at the polls.
Judge Blodgett also issued an order for
the production of the ballots a second
time before the grand jury, and they will
be examined to determine what bearing
the recent testimony given as to the
printing ot forged tickets has upon the
case.
ACTION OF THE IROQUOIS CLUB.
The Iroquois Club, which embraces in
its membership prominent Democrats of
Ihe city, after discussion of the supposed
ballot frauds in the Eighteenth ward of
this city, adopted the following resolu
tions :
The members of the Iroquois Club have
noted with deepconcern the developments at
tending the Senatorial contest in the Sixth
district of the State. They feel warranted in
declaring that the conceded facts in relation
thereto are such as to raise a strong presump
tion that an attempt has been made by gross
frauds in the supposed interest of the Demo
cratic candidates to falsify the return of votes
actually cast in one precinct of that district
and to reverse the decision of the electors
thereof as expressed at the polls. Such an
outrage upon the purity of the ballot merits
and must receive from good citizens of all
parties naught but the severest
condemnation, and every exertion
should be made to bring the perpetrators
to justice, nor should any supposed advantage
from its perpetration be availed of; it is
therefore
Resolved, That the members of this club de
mand that the prosecuting officers, both State
and Federal, spare no effort to ascertain the
truth as to the dishonest and fraudulent con
duct charged against the officers of the late
election in the Second precinct of the
Eighteenth ward in this city, and others im
plicated therein, and also" to exert every
egitimate means to bring those who are
guilty to justice, irrespective of their party
affiliations and oj ail political considerations
whatever, and tnat this organization pledges
its cordial and hearty support to these officers
in all their efforts in that direction.
THE PRINTING OF THE BOGUS BALLOTS.
The Daily News will say to-morrow
that during the examination of the al
leged forged ballots by the United States
grand jury to-day, Fallis, who engraved
the fac simile of the head of the Republi
can ticket, and Wright, of Hanscom &
Cos., who set up and printed the body of
the ticket, were called in and shown the
tickets, which were supposed to be
fraudulent; that Fallis identified the
head as that engraved by him by certain
accidental slips of the engraving tool, and
that Wright identified the whole ticket as
that printed by him on tne night of Nov.
21, or 17 days after the election. At this
time the original ballots were in the cus
tody of County Clerk Ryan. It has al
ready been reported that Wright yester
day testified before the grand jury that
the bogus ballots were delivered on the
evening of Nov. 21 to J. C. Mackin, Sec
retary of the Democratic County Com
mittee.
FRANCE’S SENATORSHIPS.
M. Floquet’s Suffrage Scheme Apt to
Fall Through.
Paris, Dec. 3.—The leaders of the ma
jority in Parliament have been in consul
tation to-day with the Committee of the
Chamber of Deputies, which has charge
of the Senatorial reform bill. The Repub
lican Union have also taken part in the
conlerence, and it is expected that an
understanding will be reached.
The Committee of the Deputies ex
presses tne opinion that the amendment
of M.Floquet to the Senatorial reform bill
that elections of Senators shall be by
suffrage will be merely affirmed, as it is
inapplicable in principle. At a meeting
to-day of the Republican Union party it
was unanimously agreed that the adop
tion of M. Floquet’s amendment would
not tend to lessen confidence in the gov
ernment.
The session of the Cabinet Council this
morning decided to request the Chamber
of Deputies to rescind its vote of urgency
and allow a second debate upon the bill,
when it is hoped the amendments will be
rejected.
La Justice charges the Opportunists
with causing the defeat of the government
in the Deputies and the election of M.
Gamier, a Bonapartist, by voting with
the Bonapartist party.
Le Soliel predicts that the defeat is but
the precursor of the result in the coming
general elections, in which, it says, the
Radicals will be everywhere last in the
ballot.
RESIGNATION RECONSIDERED.
A second Cabinet council was held this
evening, which terminated its session at
midnight. At the urgent request of
President Ferry, the other members of the
Ministry,as well as M.Waldeck Rousseau,
Minister of the Interior, abandoned their
intentions ot resigning their portfolios.
The council, during its session, decided
to resubmit the Senatorial reform bill to
the Senate, and demand the adoption of
the scheme approved by the commission
of the Chamber of Deputies. Prime
Minister Ferry and M. Waideck Rousseau
will explain their views to the committee
on Thursday.
A HITCH IX THE CONGO TALK.
England's Claims on the Niger Threat
ening to Disrupture the Conference.
Berlin, Dec. 3. —Sir Edward Malet’s
pro meria states that England in the in
terests of traders had established a pro
tectorate extending northward to Berin,
and southward to Ambos Bay, thus com
prising the whole Lower Niger country
to the junction with Benore river. Eng
land does not claim the rivers crossing
the Rio Del Key river. The Niger is nav
igable 630 kilomteres and the river Benore
620 kilometres. Sir Edward Malet
states that the British discoveries were
made since 1830, that the commerce of the
Niger basin has been solely English, and
that the progress of civilization there has
been due to the efforts of the British Con
suls.
Earl Granville, Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, has instructed Sir Ed
ward Malet, the English delegate to the
Congo Conference at Berlin, to adhere to
his declarations and to decline to admit
that either the powers or the conference
can interfere in that portion of the Niger
territory which is under English protec
tion. In his position at the conference
Sir Edward Malet has the support of the
delegates from Portugal and Italy against
those of France and Germany. It is
stated that the results expected to be ac
complished by the conference have been
imperiled by the Niger dispute.

Louisville, Dec. 3. —The liabilities of
Hill, Fletcher & Cos., dealers in wholesale

day, are estimated at SBO,OOO, and their
assets at $150,000. There is nothing sensa

COUNTLESS THOUSANDS STILL
IN IDLENESS.
The Knights Banding the Toilers at
Philadelphia—Easton Iron Workers
Working Under the Sliding Scale —No
Resumptions Reported, but More
Strikes Probable.
Pittsburg, Dec. 3.— The workmen em
ployed in the iron works of Jones &
Laughlins, numbering between 800 and
1,000, who received notice of a 10 per cent,
reduction in their wages to take effect
next Monday, have decided to accept it.
The laborers at the Crescent Steel
Works, who were reduced from $1 25 to $1
per day, have also accepted.
Unless trade improves during the next
fortnight a general suspension will pro
bably be ordered by Carnegie Bros. & Cos.
in their numerous mills and quarries.
This would throw 6,000 men out of em
ployment.
The Lucy Furnace Company, employ
ing several hundred men, this afternoon
posted notice of a reduction in wages of
12% per cent., to go into effect at once.
TIIE SLIDING SCALE.
Easton, Pa., Dec. 3. —The Glendon
Iron Company has shipped less iron this
year than it has in any year for several
years, and continues to’ship less as the
present year draws to a close. At this
time the companj has over 20,000 tons of
pig iron in heaps upon its premises, and
unless there is a big demand before long
it is provable that the greater part of it
will remain thereuntil next spring. Most
of this iron is ol the best brand,
but still there is no sale for it at the prices
offered. The company has a large stock
ot ore, coal and limestone on hand, and is
constantly increasing its stock. Before
the end of the present week No. 1 furnace
will have to be blown out. The blast was
taken off last night. A reduction of about
5 per cent, in the wages of puddlers and
others employed in the rolling mills of
this city last Monday was made in ac
cordance with the scale ot wages adopted
in July, 1880, at the conference between
the workmen and their employers. This
scale, said Secretary Swank of the
American Iron and Steel Association,
provides that when the selling price of
>ar iron should be 2 cents per pound
the total price paid for puddling should
be $4 per ton, and that with every ad
vance in price of one-tenth ot a cent per
pound the price paid for puddling should
be increased 10 cents per ton. It was
also provided that if the selling price of
bar iron should fall below 2 cents per
pound the price paid for puddling should
correspondingly fall 10 cents per ton per
each one-tenth of a cent reduction in
price.
PHILADELPHIA’S SHOEMAKERS.
Philadelphia, Dec. 3. —District As
sembly No. 70 ot the Knights of Labor,
which assembly is composed entirely of
shoemakers, met to-night to consider the
request of the Shoe Manufacturers’ Asso
ciation for a joint arbitration committee
to decide all disputes between employer
and employe. A manufacturer stated that
unless the"request was complied with by
Dec. 6 all shops would be closed. After a
brief discussion this evening the assembly
decided that it would not consider the
request in its present shape, as it con
tained a threat, and they refused to be
coerced. It is the general belief among
the 6,000 shoemakers that a satisfactory
agreement with the manufacturers will
be reached, and that the shops will not be
closed.

ers are determined to hold out, and think
that the manufacturers will accede to
their demands before Jan, 1. The loom
fixers at one of the mills joined the strik
ers this afternoon, saying that they “were
tired of teaching apprentices,” to which
duty they had been assigned by the mill
owners. The manufacturers say that they
are in no hurry to resume work, as the
market is in such condition that they do
not care to start again unless prices take
an upward turn.
1,500 RAILROAD HANDS DISCHARGED.
San Francisco, Dec. 3. —lt is reported
that the Central Pacific Railroad Company
have discharged 1,100 men within the last
tlffee months, and that 400 more have been
discharged at Sacramento during the last
three days. General Manager Towne,
interviewed by an Associated Press
reporter, stated that a majority
were those who had been employed in the
repair and reconstruction service, and
were no longer necessary. A weeding
out had been made in various depart
ments, and others had been dismissed be
cause but little freight is moving at
present. This is mainly due to the low
price of wheat, which farmers have
ceased to sell.
CHINA TO FIGHT IT OUT.
Every Chance for Successful Mediation
Apparently Slipping Away.
London, Dec. 3. —A dispatch lrom
Hong Kong says: “It is believed here
that China is determined to resist France
to the end. She will insist on her su
zerainty over Annarn, and on her right
to maintain a Chinese garrison at strate
gic points in that country. She will in
sist also that the French legation at An
nam shall be placed on the same footing
as the legations of other countries.”
Marquis Tseng, the Chinese Ambassa
dor, in an interview to-day with Earl
Granville, Secretary oi State for Foreign
Affairs, protested that it was a breach of
neutrality on the part of England to per
mit French men-of-war to coal and
victual at Hong Kong.
Tentatives relative to mediation be
tween France and China have ceased.
Tsung Yi has rejected overtures made by
England in that direction.
The transportation arrangements for
forwarding French reinforcements to
Tonquinhave been so timed that they will
reach Haiphong about the end of January.
Gen. Briere de l’lsle advises the gov
ernment that he expects to clear Ton
quin of the enemy in a two months’ cam
paign, in February and March, before
the summer heat will compel the troops
to seek shelter in cantonments.
ALLEGED FRENCH REVERSES.
A Tien Tsin dispatch states that the
Chinese claim the following successes:
Oct. 2—Captured forts and city of Lohg
Nan Hsien, in Tonquin; sank a French
gunboat after an engagement. The elders
of over 20 Christian villages tendered their
submission to the Chinese commander.
Oct. B—The French were defeated at
Foowei, Tonquin; the French commander
shot himself. The troops were demoral
ized and fled.
Nov. 13—The Black Flags repulsed three
French attacks upon Saun Kevan. The
same day the French were defeated at
Tamsui.
Nov. 19—The French, including Turios,
were forced to take refuge in the woods
near Saun Kevan. At Formosa the fight
ing continued for six hours. The French
losses were very heavy, including two su
perior officers. They lost several guns
and were pursued to the water side, where
four French launches were sunk. The
Chinese in Kam Gei, a province
of Tonquin, succeeded in de
feating the French, the latter losing
seven officers and their General being se
verely wounded. The same day the
French made an unsuccessful attack
upon the Chinese positions at Kwan Yin
Kio.
M. Morin’s Apartments Searched.
I’aris, Dec. 3.—The apartments of M.
Morin, the man shot the other day by
Mme. Clavis-Hogues, have been searched.
In them important documents were found,
including a list of witnesses subpoenaed

husband. She wished to obtain divorce,
and engaged the services of a private de
tective agency to prove that guilty con
nections Ibad existed between her hus
band and Mme. Clavis-Hogues.

The Great Southern Remedy.
Rosadalis cures Scrofula, Rheumatism,
White Swelling, Gout, Goitre, Consump
tion, Bronchitis, Nervous Debility,
Malaria, and all diseases of a kindrec
nature arising from an impure condition
of the blood. After physicians have failed
to cure, a single bottle 6f Rosadalis seems
to effect such a marked change as to give
new hope and life. Read this letter:
“I have been a great sufferer with
Inflammatory Rheumatism for the last
twelve months. I was induced to try
your preparation, Rosadalis, and I have
been greatly benefited. My hands and
feet are still enlarged, but 1 feel so much
better that 1 want to continue taking the
Rosadalis. Mrs. M. Y. Dance,

Suits Over a Mine Disaster.
Pittsburg, Dec. 3.— At Uniontown,
Pa., Mine Inspector Steiner has institu
ted suit for criminal negligence against
James Cole, the mine boss at the time of
the Youngstown mine,explosion, by which
14 persons were killed outright and seven
others injured. The families of those
killed by the explosion are generally in
very destitute circumstances, and dam
age suits will probably be entered. A
proposition was recently submitted to the
company to settle for SIO,OOO in each case
of death, but no reply was received.
A Small Debt Deads to Murder.
Nechesville, Tex., Dec. 3.— An affray
occurred here last evening, resulting in
the death of L. V. Simpson and Calhoun
Lawrence. Both were well-known citi
zens. The difficulty grew out of the set
tlement of a small debt. Mr. Simpson
fired first, mortally wounding Lawrence
in the abdomen. Lawrence fired three
shots, each one taking effect, and the last
one penetrating Simpson’s heart. Mr.
Lawrence expired some hours after the
shooting.
The Three Great Questions In England.
Liverpool, Dec. 3.—At a banquet last
night of the Reform Club Lord Rosebery
said that the three great questions of the
day, the navy, Egypt and redistribution,
should not be made party questions. He
counseled the House of Lords to initiate
their own reform, and declared his belief
that the hereditary principle was wrong.

iiAKD RAPS AT BISMARCK
OH. WINDTHORST RIDES OVER
HIM ROUGHSHOD.
The Reichstag Favors the Repeal or the
Government’s Anti-Catholic Caw by a
Vote of 317 to Q3 After a Personal Ap
peal from the Chancellor.
Berlin, Dec. 3.—ln the Reichstag to
day Prince Bismarck that the
reintroduction of Dr. Windthorst’s motion
to repeal the law empowering the govern
ment to expel or intern priests for ille
gally exercising their functions, after it*
recent rejection by the Bundesrath, was
disrespectful to the Bundesrath. More
over, he said, the last two Prussian
Ministers of Public Worship had not ap
plied the law. The attitude taken by the
party of the Centre impeded an under
standing between Germany and Rome.
Prussia would not consent to re
peal the law, at least not for
Polish districts. The government would
onlv accept a prelate for the Archbisho
pric of Posen, who did not sympathise
with ('(Torts to sever the west of Prussia
and Upper Silesia from the Prussian
State. Negotiations between Prussia and
the Romau Curia since 1878 had been
oractically without result, although
Prussia had granted various conclusions.
These negotiations were still pending. In
spite of Prince Bismarck’s opposition
Herr Windthorst’s motion to repeal the
law in question was passed by a vote of
•217 to 93.
BISMARCK’S BANDER UP.
In the course of the debate Dr. Wind
thorst, having replied to the speech of
Prince Bismarck, the Chancellor con
tinued his remarks against Dr. Wind
thorst’s motion to repeal the lawexpelling
priests, etc. Prince Bismarck declared
that the freedom of the church was no
where challenged, and that Prussia’s
rejection of the Papal candidates ior the
Bishopric O; Posen was simply an exer
cise of her soverign rights, and was in
accordance with the treaties. Prince
Bismarck said that he was rejoiced to
hear Ilerr Windthorst say that he was op
posed to parliamentary government.
Prince Bismarck said:
If it were possible for the government quiet
ly to resign and say to the majority here are
our portfolios, be good enough to continue the
dispatch of public business, matters would be
even worse than now. If a majority con
sisting of the Conservative Centre with its
adherents, the now German Liberals, the
Volks party and the Social Democrats, had
to reconstruct the government, the result
would be a Ministry like that of England un
der Premier Gladstone.
A CHALLENGE AND A DECLINATION.
Paris, Dec. 3. —The Morning Mews re
ports that Count Herbert Bismarck re
cently challenged Herr Eugene Richter,
on the ground that the latter had insulted
the Chancellor in a speech in the Reich
stag. Herr Richter refused to accept the
challenge. He declared that he would
not light a duel with Prince Bismarck,
even concerning a matter which occurred
in Parliament, and it not with him, then
much less with his son.
Newspaper lieu In Court.
Boston, Dee. 3.—Yesterday morning
James P. Frost, city editor, and Daniel
J. Saunders, a local reporter of a daily
newspaper, were summoned before the
grand jury and ordered to divulge the
source of information contained in an
article relating to certain recent develop
ments in connection with the Lane mur
der, which occurred in Dorchester twelve
years ago, said article appearing in last
Saturday’s issue ot the paper. They re
fused to make known the source of their in
formation, presumably on the ground that
it would violate the secrecy of the news
paper offices. A hearing was had to-day
oefore Judge Blodgett upon a charge of
contempt. The Judge took the matter
under advisement, and his decision, which
will probably lie rendered to-morrow, is
awaited in newspaper circles with much
interest.
No Cholera in China’s Fleet.
Paris, Dec. 3. —LeTemps denies the re
oort that cholera has broken out on the
Heet off Formosa.
LeParis says that Admiral Courbet
telegraphs to* the government that the
health of the crews of the French fleet in
Chinese waters is satisfactory.
An Algiers dispatch states that the re
ported suspicious cases ot sickness on
board the transports bound to Tonquin,
were found upon medical investigation to
he very trifling.
EGYPT’S QUARANTINES.
Alexandria, Dec. 3.— The Egyptian
Government has abolished the cholera
quarantine, and the overland route for
passengers to India has been re-estab
lished.
The War In Egypt.
London, Dec. 3.—A dispatch from
Dongola says that the Mudir has received
news that El Mahdi is dead, and that bis
followers are dying very fast. The camel
corps and Staffordshire Regiment will
start for Ambukol next week.
A FRENCH OPINION.
Paris, Dec. 3.— La Temps considers the
latest proposals of Earl Granville for the
settlement of the Egyptian troubles to
amount in effect to an English protecto
rate over Egypt.
Paris’ Municipal Council.
Paris, Dec. 3.—At a meeting of the
Municipal Council to-day M. LeVaillant,
Prefect of Haute-Savoie, charged the
police with having provoked the late riots
in Calle-Levis. The Council adopted a
resolution expressing a desire that the
control of the Police Service should lay in
the Municipal Council. A resolution was
also passed by the Council demanding the
rejection of' a proposition before the
Chamber of Deputies to tax imports of
corn and cattle.
