THE AM BRICAN TARIFF.
Virulent Remonstrance by Frenob
Cities Against Increased Dutlea
Paris, Oct. 11.—The agitation over the
new United States tariff was greater than
ever during last week. The wildeet ideas
as to the scope and affect of the law were
prevalent. Lyons virulently remonstrated
against the heavily increased duties on silk.
Bordeaux was equally excited about wine,
and the whr le of France waslu a conditon of
extreme irritation and apprehension, which
was reflected by the newspapers. M. Le
Croy treats the idea of a Eur pean z llve
reiL against America as ntooian. He holds
that France, unassisted by other countries,
can open the gates of the Ameri
can# Chinese wall by profit
ing by the word “reciprocity,”
which figures in the new law, and urges tne
approval of the foreign office’s negotia
tions on tho subject. He is supposed to re
fer to tha alleged understanding between the
minister of foreign affairs aud Whitelaw
Reid, the United States minister, regarding
certain concessions which France will
make provided America does not in
crease the taxes on oertain French
products, notably wines. The details
of the understanding, if such exists, are not
made public, but the French newspapers
positively announce it does exist.
Th e Mot <f Ordre thinks America should
receive French goods a little better and
Orleanist pretenders, who seek to overturn
the French republic, a little less pompously.
France, it says, considers American Or
leanist manifestations ridiculous.
ENTITLED TO A REFUND.
Washington, Uct. IL—The solioitor of
the treasury department, under date of
Sept. 23, rendered an op nion to the effect
that where an invoice does not show in
terms that the cost of boxes was included
In the price of certain cigars, but such fact
is shown by the declaration of the shipper
before the United States consul attached to
the invoice, tho case mast be held to come
fairly within the principles laid down in the
Obertuffe case, and that importers are en
titled to a refund of duties exacted on said
boxes.
AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
No Discrimination Against the Negro
in Michigan.
Lansing, Mich., Oct. 11. —The supreme
court rendered a very important opinion
affecting the right of colored people in
public places. One Ferguson (colored), with
a friend, entered a restaurant in the Third
district, of which a man named Gies was
proprietor. Seating themselves at a table,
a waiter informed them they could
not be waited on at that table,
but if they would take a
seat at one which he designated they would
be served. This they refused to do, de
manding service at the table at which they
were sitting. The proprietor admitted the
discrimination between w.dte and black
people, and he had a right to make auch
discrimination. The plaintiff brought suit
in the Wavne circuit court, and was defeated
and appealed to the sup. eme oourt. The
judgment was reversed, and anew trial
was ordered. Tho oourt holds that a
colored man is a citizen under the constitu
tion, and cannot be discriminated agiinst
in public places, aud says the only question
that should have been considered in the
lower oourt is one of damages.
PIBATE3 PUT TO DEATH.
A Crew of Eleven Men Beheaded at
Amoy.
San Francisco, Oct. ll.—The last time
the revenue ornieer Lang Fong came in,

thorities. and shortly afterward retained
with eleven prisoners, who hid been cap
tured from the piratical craft on Oct. 2.
Alljtke-e men were beheaded. One of them
went mad and refused to kneel b-fore tbe
executioner, so the latter bad to take “pot
shots” at him, and eventually decapitated
him in slices. Ris rumored that about 100
pirates came dowu to the execution to trv
to effect the rescue, but a iarge number of
troops were present aud effectually over
awed them.
News has just come in of a frightful
crime committed by a pirate craft, having
seized a trading junk and massacred in cold
blood the whole crew of thirty-nine men.

Troy, N. Y.. Oct. 11.—Justice Grogan
discharged John Kiernan, charged with
placing obstructions on tbe Central-Hudson
railroad, near Karner’s, Aug. 9. The court

A Smooth-Tongued Express Mes
senger Saves the Company's Money.
Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 11.—Last night,
as the south-bound passenger and express
train on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
railroad pulled up to the Osage river water
tank, one mile south of Schell City, Mo.,
four stalwart men, armed with
shotgnns and revolvers, jumped on
the oab of tbe engine, and covered
the engineer and fireman, and ordered them
to dismount As soon as the train stopped
tbe colored porter stepped off to take a look
after the air brakes aud was promptly cov
ered with a revolver by one of the bandits.
The fireman and porter were quartered
behind the train and guarded, lest
they should arouse the passeng
ers. The engineer was marched to
the door of the express car and oompeiled
to call the messenger to open the door. The
messenger, recognizing the engineer’s voice,
opened the door, and was promptly covered
by a revolver and ordered to hand over his
money. He replied that the train did not
cirry any money aud that he did not
have any himself. The robbers seemed to
bo satisfied that be told the truth, and,
without entering the car, allowed the train

the messenger handed to the local agent the
money packages he had, showing that there
was no robbery.

COUNT OF PARIS AT RICHMOND.
Still Visiting tbe Scenes of tbe Civil
War.
Richmond, Va, Oct. IL— The Count of
Paris spent to-day in revisiting other scenes
of his experience with the union army be
fore Richmond in 1862. Tbs battlefields
visited to-day were Seven Pines or Fair
Oaks, Savage’s Station and Frazier's Farm
or Glendale, aud tbe count remarked in tne
evening tnat these were much more im
portant engagements than the ones fought
on the grounds traversed by him yesterday,
although they were not quite so interesting
to him personally .from tbe fact that he saw
less service in them. The oount was accom
panied to-dav by Duo d’Orieans, Due d’Use',
Col. Parsers!, Capt. Morhain, Dr. Rocatnier,
Cob Anderson and Capt. Haxall of Rich
mond and three representatives of the
press. Count d'Haussonville aud Marquis
Lasteyrie were detained at the hotel all day
with the correspondence. With the excep
tion of Cape. Morhain ail the travelers were
on horsehuck. The started from the hotel
at 9 o'clock in tbe morning and returned
there at 0 o’clock in the eveuing, having iu
the moan time ndden nearly thirty-two
mile*
A FALSE REPORT.
The Count of Paris was somewhat exer
cised to-day over a cable dispatch iu the
morning papers saying that the Countess of
Pans is alarmed at tbe political situation in
Portugal aDd had telegraphed him to re
turn at once. The count said to a repre
sentative of the Associated Press to-day:
"I wish you would contradict that report.
It is not true, and was probably started for
purely speculative purposes. The countess
says she has not telegraphed ne of any
trouble, aud I do not think she will find it
necessary to do so."
Being asked as to his impression of the
last two days the count said: “I've had a
delightful time here, and the old battlefields
are full of interest to me. To visit them was
the principal cause cf my present visit to
America, and I have not overrated the an
ticipation of the pleasure it would give me.
Why. all of the ecenes of that great conflict
came back to me as vividly as if it were
yesterday. I did not taluk 1 would recall
them so distinctly. The weather was fine
and my guides could not have served me
better.
“Yes, there have been considerable
changes in tbe country surrounding tha bat
tlefields, as well as in tbe city. Of course the
oons’ernation in Richmond at that time in
a great measure accounts for this. The
fields that were naked then haTe grown up,
ad this at first bewildered me to some
extent, but it only required a moment’s re
flection, and it all came back to me. How
it stirred me to be onoe agaiu in the midst
of those scenes, and to recall them. too.
Why, Gaines’ mill atone would have
repaid me for my coming to Richmond.
And then, too, your people have been so
kind to me. Why, lam thoroughly charmed
with your city.”
A visit wiil be made to Petersburg to
morrow afternoon, and on Monday morn
ing the party will go by way of Washington
and Philadelphia to New York, expecting
to reach there Thursday morning.

Austria and assure her that it was to Italy’s
interest to remain in the triple alliance.
Signor Crlspi’s remarks have evoked less
enthusiasm here than in Vienua, because
those in political life are confident that
whatever binta in that direction Signor
Crisp! may make for dlptomitio re&s >ns
he is never likely to seek an alliance with
Franca, Hi* rank opportuais n, leading to
the belief that he would net heeitate to
abandon any alliance or etnbraoe any li e
of poliey profitable to Italy, does net Inspire
confidence m the Aaaneial world. Thie
feellr.g was reflected by a decline on the
bourse on the receipt of tbe speech.
RUSSIA AND FRANCE.
Tho tone ef the Russian press shows that
the speech will assist rsprochement with
France. The .Voroe Vremyas ays it makes
it incumbent upon France to come to a
definite understanding with Russia in order
to neutralise th* danger of jiotsible aggres
sion on th* part of the allied powers.
The official press does not confirm the
reports that a meeting will take plaoe
between Chancellor vou Caprivl aud Hignor
Crispi. It is certain that no and if.e for a
meeting ha* as yet been Arranged, but the
Cologne Gazette says it will take place in
Northern Italy a few weeks hence.

AFFECTED BY THE NEW TARIFF.
Asa result of the new United Htales
tariff law, manufacturer* of elothing are
holdiug back their stocks. A large number
ef operatives will be discharged from the
woolen goods factories in ths Grl enseig
district in Silesia, aud the weavers at Now
aws, near Potsdam, are expecting a
lockout. Press comments on tbe
new tariff oontinue, and tha question
of a E iropean tariff campaign against
America, or a German-Austna i customs
union, is still eagerly deceased. The rumor
that tna government had opened negotia
tions with Austria caused a commotion
among manufacturers ia Austria and agri
culturists in Hungary; but since Austria’s
rejection of Bismarck's offer of a
modified tariff treaty in 1879
both rations have adopted a strong
protective policy. Bo many interests
are engaged on both sides that no sober
minded man believes that suah a project can
be realized at tbe present time. The North
German Gazette's warning against cher
ishing such an illusion ou the subject is but
too well justified. German exports to
Austria amount to 860,000,000 florins, of
which 100,000,000 florins is in toxtile fabrics.
Austrian exports to Gormauy amount to
400,000,090 flerins, and consist mainly of raw
products and agricultural produce. An in
crease in the latter would ruin German ag
riculture, while an iuoi ease in the former
would imperil tiie highly protected indus
tries of Austria Any change will be haded
witb deligut by Hungary, but will be stub
bornly resisted by the Reichgrath a id tbe
farming Interest in the Keicustag, and the
German government is not likely to
risk the enure loss of the
American market on the strength of the
reciprocity clause by co-operation with
Austria, who loses practically nothing.
The chamber of trad* and commerce has
opened an inquiry into the mother of pearl
trade, the turners la which are willing t >
emigrate t> America but lack the neces
sary capital to insure their admission to the
United States.
RUSSIA EXPECTS INCREASED TRADH.
Russian agriculturalists are oountlng upon
expected European reprisals for the new
tariff to find a larger opening in European
markets for their corn and cattle. Numer
ous deputations have asked the government
to apply to the western powers to facilitate
the importation of Human cattle and meat.
Measures will be taken to guarantee tbe
health of th* oattle and swii.e exported.
The railway* have been ordered to favor
export! by a reduct.on in their freight rates.
It has been setsind that tha Bultnn of
Zanzibar will accept 4,000,000 marks for his
cession*f th*coast, hut it has not been de
cided whether the government or the Ger
man East Africa Company will pay the
amount. It it doubtful if the
present Reichstag will sanction the
payment, and the government is
reluctant to allow the company to acquire
sovereign rights in the territory iu ques
tion. !be negotiations are still progressing
and a compromise wi.i probably lie arrived
at, the company ceding its suprems rights
to the govtrnrae .t in consideration of the
lattar raising a loan to pay the sultaa for
giving permission to tbe company to con
tinue operations.
