FRANCE AND OUR PORK.
A LIVELY FIGHT OVER THE BATE
OF DUTY TO BE FIXED.
T&e Senate Votes In Favor of 25
Francs— The Government Wants It
Cut Down to 20 France—This Country
On the List of Those Subject to the
Maximum Tariff Rates.
Paris. Oct. 25.— The new tariff act can
not be promulgated before the end of the
present year, therefore there will not be
sufficient time to make it a subject of nego
tiati ns bstweeu too powers before the
treaties with thorn lapse. The government
accordingly will introduce in the Cham
ber of Deputies a bill to authorize thorn
to establish commercial relations with
foreign nations during the year 1892. The
minimum tariff will be applied to Belgium,
Holland, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal and
Sweden, the treaties with which will expire
in February, on oondition that these powers
grant France their lowest tariff rates. The
minimum tariff will ateo be conceded to
those nations now having the most favored
treatment, which Include Great Britain,
P.ussia, Mexico and Turkey.
THIS COUNTRY ON THE WRONG LIST.
On the other hand the United States,
Italy and Roumania ara subject to the
maximum tariff. The French government
Tfiil request the powers to revive during the
year 1892 the treaties relating to navigation,
trade mark-, etc. The history of the debate
in the senatorial tariff committee in regard
to the pr position fir resoindiug the pro
hibition of the importation of American
pork goes to show that the senators
who are opposed, first urged a duty
of 35 francs per 100 kilos
in lieu of rescinding, contending
that the figure was about the same placed
on ports in America under the McKinley
bill. The prop -sa having been rejected,
the opposing senators then suggested 80
francs per 100 kilos. Aftor a long debate
this also was voted down. Tho measure was
at length passed when amended to read * ‘2O
francs per 100 kilos,” and the opposiug sen
ators think it ought not to go lower than
Germany’s rate.
THE GOVERNMENT’S DEMAND.
The government, however, will demand
that the Senate vote a 20-francs rate, so as
1 1 agree to tho proposition as it has already
passed the Chamber of Deputies. The Senate
is iikeiy to ul imately support the govern
ment demand. Senator Decauville, in an
interview with the Associated Press reporter
yesterday, add that the fact that the hy
gienic objection to the introduction of
'.me icati pork had quite disappeared would
greatly help tho measure through the Sen
ate. “I, for one,” continued the senator,
"am convinced that the general condition
of American swine has grown better.”
POWER OF THE SENATE.
M. Leroy-Beaulieu, economist, and presi
dent of the VViue Growers’ Society,has pub
lished an article in the Economistc /< ran
i utV in which he contends that the Senate
lias no constitutional right to raise the tariff
rates, which have been fixed by the Cham
ber of Deputies. Since the Senate has no
power to create new taxes, M. Beaulieu
holds that it cannot vote to Increase them,
although it may reduce the duties. The
question of the limitations of tha rights of
the Senate is actively raised, and it is cer
tain to lead to a conflict between the two
houses and delay the passage of the tariff
bill.
GALES AND FLOODS.
A H*avy Blow for Thrse Days on the
Mediterra-ean.
Paris, Oct. 25.—A gale has raged with
great fury for three days and nights
throughout the northern shores of the
Mediterranean. The climax was reached
yesterday, when the wind blew with te ri
bls violouoe over the gulf of Lyons and the
island of Corsica. An immense number of
vessels have taken refuge from the gale at
Marseilles, many of them in a damaged
condition.
There are grave fears of disaster along
the river valleys in England. Spain and

LIKE JACK THE RIPPER’S WORK
An Abandoned Woman of Berlin Mur
dered In Her Lodgings.
Berlin, Oct. 25. —This city has been
treated to a “Jack the Ripper” sensation.
The body of a wretched, abandoned woman
was found horribly stabbed in her lodgings
in a squalid quarter of the 'own. The body
was horribly slashed and mutilated. The
assassin, who is unknown, escaped. The
woman was seen to enter the house
with a stranger at 1 o’clock
this morning aud ten minutes afterward
the mau was seen to run away. The woman
was found a little later lying on the floor,
fully dressed, oven to the matter of her
gloves. Her throat was cut and her abdo
men ripped open. A iarge reward for the
murderer was promptly offered. The po
lice i-uspeot a well dressed young mau, who
was some time before seen aocoetiug women
in the street.
The name of the victim was Hedwie
Nfische, aud she lived in Holzinarket
Gasse.
PORTIONS OP THE BODY CARRIED AWAY.
Portions of the woman’s body after be
ing cut off were carried away by the
brutal murderer. The room where the
body was found and tne surroundings were
entirely untouched. Tno person in charge
of the building bore the body was found
drove a g od trade fur a while by exhibit
ing the remains to the public for small sums
of money uutil the police 'interfered and
stopped Lis horrible business. Blood was
spattered all over the ceilings and
walls of the room, aud it
seems impossible to arrive ut any other con
clusion than that the deed was the work of
a madman. The poitoo havo already ar
rested several suspici us characters, but
they were discharged in all ca'es for lack of
evidenco, and the autboritlesjare hopelessly
without a clew.
MEJRINGEN IN ASHES.
The Flames Carried Through the
Town With Irresistible Fury.
Paris, Oct. 25. —Ad vice.i have just been
received hers from Meiringen, in the canton
of Berr, Switzerland, to the effect that the
town bad been a.mojjt entirely wiped out of
existence by fire. The conflagration was
farmed by a high wind, and the flames
swept away street after street, with fright
ful rapidity. The appliances of tbe corpo
ration for extinguishing fires proved to be
of no use whatever. The railroad station,
postoffice, telegraph offices, and nearly all
the business places aud residences were
utterly destroyed, and iu tbe briefest space
of time. Tbe Victoria hotel and Wilder*
msiin'i hotel are the only two structures
that mark the situation of this once pros
perous country resort of 3,000 inhsmtants,
and they were only spared owing to their
isolation from tbe other buildings.
IN ASHS3 IN THREE HOURS.
The town was reduced to ashes in three
hours after the outbreak of the fire. It
was impossible to save anything. The
wind was so strong that partly burned
papers were carried as far as Interlaken,
five miles distant. The 1. h ibitaots of the
burned town are iu a pitiful condition, and
parties for their relief have started from
Interlaken. The town suffered from a sim
ile • calamity in 1879, when the wooden
buildings, of which it was chiefly com
posed, were largely replaced by stone
structures.

Harrison Crossed Him—The Failure
of Any Member of the Cabinet to Call

Washington, Oct. 85.—Having glvea op

not having rented a pew eliewhere. .Secre
tary Blaine did not g > to church to-day, un
like President Harrison, who uocupied his
usual place at the Church of the Covenant.
losioad of going to Church Secretary Biniue
took a lazy walk through the fashionable
quarter where he oould be seen by many
people. Afterward lie received a number
of personal friends who called, tti9 m it
prominent of whom was ex-Seuator Hen
derson of Missouri, who had the lougest
talk with him.
GOING to take IT EASV. ■
To one of those callers who sp ke of his
work Secretary Blaine said: "I am not
going to overwork again. Tnere are some
matters here which I must attend to, and,
of course, I shall attend to them, but I shall
do it in my own way and time. I have
learned a lesson about work.”
From this and similar remarks Secretary
Blaine’s friends infer that be is going to
take things at the state department as
easily as possible for him to do, and that he
will not be unwilling to retire from the
state department if President Harrison’s
action made it necessary to do so.
ANXIOUS TO APPEAR WELL,
Secretary Blaine seemed anxious to im
press oa everybody that ho passed in the
street as well as everybody who came to the
house with the idea that he was well again.
He walked briskly and carried his head
jauntily. In his own hums beseemed almost
gay. The delay of his oolleaguos in the cabi
net in calling upon him creates comment.
Last night they hod the excuse that they
did not know definitely that ho
was coming, but ‘ this did
not serve as an excuse for
not calling promptly tho first
th’ug to-day. The reason generally
assigned is their uncertainty as to how
President Harrison would view auy demon
stration of attention to his rival. The de
parture of First Assistant Secretary IVbur
ton from Washington ou the eve of
Secretary Blaine’s return keeps the gossips
talking. They think that he ought to havo
been here to welcome his chief, if nono of
the cabinet did feel like welcoming him.
GERMANY’S NEW MINISTER.
Dr. Von Holliben Coming From Japan

Washington, Oct. 35.—1 t is authorita
tively announced here to-night that Dr.
Von Holliben, the German minister to
Japan, has been appointed minister to the
United States to succeed the late Count
Arco Valley. Dr. Vou Holliben is about 50
years of age and a bachelor, and was ap
pointed minister to Japan four years
ago, being transferred from Buenos Ayres,
where ho had been minister for four years.
Previous to that he was charge d'affaires to
Pekin and Tokio, aud conducted the neg i
tiations for the treaty between the Japan

until then.
LYNCHER3 ON HiS HEELS.
A Negro Kills a Woman and Throws
Her Children In a Well With Her.
New Orleans, Oct. 25. —A special to the
Picayune from Queen City, Tex., says:
“Several miles from this place, Lee Green,
a yellow negro, 19 years old, shot with a
shotgun,and again witha Winchester, Mrs.
Lowe, wife of a prosperous farmer, instantly
killing her, while she was warning. He
then threw the body into a well. He then
threw her little girl, aged 7, in, breaking
her thigh and killing her. He then trok
her little boy, agod 1 years, and threw him
in after her, but did not succeed m killing
him. He threw some timbers and the
wash kettle in the well at him. The boy es
caped unhurt, but is very sick to-dav from
standing in the water on iiis mother's body.
When the father returned he heard the boy
calling and made the discovery. The negro
had been working on Lowe’s farm and the
boy knew him. The object of
the wholesale murder was robbery.
After committing the deed he stole a
horse and started to go into Kansas. Two
hundred men started in pursuit and shot at
him several times, oausi.ig him to quit his
horse, after which he stole a mule and was
forced to quit it. He then stole the third
horse, which he is now r.diug. The whole
country is up in arms. Green will ba
lynched if caught.”
A CHURCH MKIIBiE FALLS.
Money Due a Railroad Finds Its Way
Into His Pocket.
St. Lor 18, Mo., Oct. 25.—A soecial to
the Republic from Van Buren, Ark., says:
“A decidrd sensation was created by the
report that J. M. Weaver, who has hitherto
boras an irreproachable reputation, being a
strict churoh member, is an embezzler.
Weaver has been land ageut for
the Little Rock and Fort Smith
railroad for a number of years. His duties
consisted of selling land to settlers, reced
ing psrt payment, and transmitting the re
ceipt* and papers to the general oftioe of the
company at llorriiton. After the first pay
ment Weaver, according to his in
structions, should have informed the
settlers that they must pay the
balance direct to the railroad o inpany.
Instead of doing so. however, it is alleged
that Weaver continued to collect money.
The railroad people finally notified the e;-
tlers that uuisss they pud up immediately
they would be evil ted. This brought mat
ters to a focus and revealed the shortage,
which will probably run into the tons of
thousands.”

It is understood that Prof. McPherson

THE VACANT BISHOPRIC.
The people hadu’t caught oni to the real
reason whv a bishop of the Georgia diocese
was so hard to secure. It waa because a man

willing to give up these responsible positions
for such a small thing as
the bishopric of Georgia. He

Cutting runs—A Bi? >’rop of Oranges.
Farmers Bound to Have a Good Road.
Gainesville, Fla., Oct. 25.—With the
first frost the cutting of tne cane begins
and therefore preparations are now being
made all over Florida to grind it and make
the juice into sugar and syrup. The very
early frosts, though light, tire a warning to
the growers that danger is ahead and there
is a general ru.tlo and bustle to muke sugar
before “Jack” comes.
Ths crop is in the main a good one. No
sugar is made for Rale save by Disston at St.
Cloud.
The News reporter, while in conversation
this morning w.th Capt. Thomas Ellis, one
of if not the oldest native Floridians, In re
gard to the early frost, was told by the
captain that it was the earliest in hie re
membrance. Capt. Ellis says that orange
groves will produce more abundantly and
much better fruit when cane Is planted
among the trees, and that almost any other
crop grows better after cane has been grown
on the land.
There ere now twenty-live teams, with a
la ge number of men, at work two miles
from towu cutting through wtiat Is known
as Cjlolough’s oil), a break in the rock road
to Rocky Point- The farmers at the point
are determined to have one of the best
roads from field to market that can be
made. Tne three miles already put down

ballasted track—all steel rail, flsh-bar cou

BANKER OhSWB' VIEWS.
What He Has to Fay About the
Financial Outlook,
New York, Oct. 34.—The dullness in
Wail street continue!, and tho prioes of
stocks still oscidato within a range too nar
row to encourage large speculative trans
actions, The absence of auy advance in the
Ba kof England rata of discount last week,
i*i. d the combined imports of gold, together
with a furtliei liberal inorca-eof the surplus
re<erve in the bank statement of Oct. 17,
were expected to havo a reviving effect
upon the market during the pest week, but
oni) a slight Improvement was inaugurated;
but the market still shows, by the daily
n; eager transactions, an Insensibility to
favorable factors which c(th hardly be eon
strued otherwise tbau as an omtnous symp
tom.
The shrinkage of transactions on the ex
change to less thau one-half of their la e
volume plainly men u that uti important
class of large holders havo sold out aud that
i hey aro n t at present disposed to enter the
market again at the curreut ia go of
values. Hence s oh n condition of present
holdings usually resuiis m either a reaction
of prices, or in a prolonged stagnancy, dur
ing which comparatively wmk holders have
to keep up a lorloru struggle against, the
“bears.”- Numerous hollers are aet to be
not only of the feebler class but also include
the least practiced and influential; and that
is very much the cose in the present
situation of the market. The capitalist oluss
Wi.o were caught iu the crisis of last fall
with heavy loads of Second and third rate
stoolig, hove succeeded m transferring them
to transient speed itivo bijors; aud the
former class of operators, always s i essen
tial to a successful “bull” movement, are
now out of tho market, and their tidies are
likely to favor t ,e "bear" side until nrioos
aro more tempting than at present. These
men are us the wind to the sails, tho steam
to the locomotive, tho money that "make#
the iiiar go”; and a market without them
has usually a very unpromising prospect.
The present holders f stocks are, it is
true, helped by the greater esve iu m >ney,
bv the general recovery of oonflde or, by
the influx of foreign gold, and by all t.e
good Influence] that atte and such an extraor
dinary Harvest as has hofalleu us; and this
may enable them lo hold on and perhaps to
sec.ire occasional flight advances; but with
out the 00-nperatiou of tba great profoi
sional “bulls” they can make little progress,
and have the choice between & judicious
yielding and a protracted dullness and stag
nancy that can be ended only by compul
sory reahzi .g. There oAr.not be a good
market without good buying, and there
oatmot be good bu ing with nit good buy
ers, neither of which of sufficient magnitude
ex Is sat present. There are plenty of influ
ential operators who, although they believe
iu ultimately higher prices, yet think it
better to allow the market to reel for a
time; and they ure Ilk sly to
continue to pcs pone operations until
they can get in on better terms than exist
at present. In brief, the market is in tho
unsatisfactory oond.tlon of being strong
enough to support prices, and yet not at
tractive enough to induce important strong
hp ing. The issue of euoh a situation Is
usually a p otracted and unbroken dullness
which continues until holders ate wearied
out or driven from the market; aud there
is too much r-'ason to fear that the present
situation may run into just such a profitless
oondition. Under sue clreurnst mens, It
seams tne wisest policy for b Ides to let go
a part of their stocks ad Kland prepared
for getting into a fresh campaign, starting
from lower asls of prices and having the
support of a class who alone can , make a
boom successful.
But while the personnel and the make
up of the market arc not conducive
to progress but are calculated to in
vite periodical “bear” attacks, the obief
current factors affecting the Intrinsic value
of : ecu files are distinctly favorable. The
foreign demand for onr wheat contluuei
Upon a very large scale, and the yield fii the
price of that cereal is oxloula ed to stimu
late is export. The return of cold from
Europe shows no symptom of abatement;
and at L .nd n the loss of gold has so far
produced no offact upon the Hank of Eng
land rate, nor upon tho rate In the open
market, while In the stook mnrk*t the
Dreference for American securities is caus
ing a steady stream of buying or
ders to be cabled to New York.
This is certainly a better con
dition of foreign finances than has been
anticipated. The uneasiness caused by the
new Russian loaa and by reports of fresh
trouble in the Argentine Republic seem to
bave the effect of stimulating tbe Lou ion
demand for our investment*. Ho far os re
spects our local money market, the imports
of gold aud tbe moderation of theshipmonts
of currency to the interior leave no doubt
that, for the remainder of the year and
probably until early next spring, there will
be no difficulty iu procuring money for
stock exchange purposes. This prospective
ease in tbe ioau market ia causing a markod
improvement in the demand for
railroad bonds, whioh is a factor
of real importance to stocks. The
late reports of da nags to cotton
are now followed by intoliigeuce of killing
frost in the cotton belt, the immediate effect
of which is to enure an advance ia price
both here and in Liverpool. There can be
little doubt that considerable deductions
will have to bo male from the earlier, esti
mates of this crop; but as the price will
probably be correspondingly advanced the
financial results of the yield are not likely
to be materially affected. It Is unfortunate
that, with so many good elements in tbe
situation.the undueToroing up of prioee dur
ing the late boom should have put the stock
market in a position which prevents an ad
equate response to these factors.

Points Confirmatory of the Bible.
Brooklyn, N. Y. t Oot. 25. —Tbe renders
lng of the First Sonata in D miuor, by Guil
ma t, on the great organ of the Brooklyn
Tabernacle this morning, by Prof. Henry
Eyre Browne, the organist, held the vast
cougrogalion spell-bound with p ofound
emotion. Dr. Talmaga preached on “Sail
tug uo the Nile," the second sermon of the
series, entitled “From the Pyramids to the
Acrooolis; or. What 1 Hiw in Egypt and
Greece. Confirmatory of the Scriptures.”
His text was Ezekiel xxlx., 9: “The river is
mine aud l have ma le it.”
Aim! This is tne river Nile. A brown,
or yellow, or silver cord on whioh are hung
more jewels of thriili g interest than on any
river that was ever twisted iu th* sunshine.
It ripples through the book of Ezekiel, and
flashes in the books of Deuteronomy, and
Isaiah, and Zectrariah, and Nahum, and oa
its hanks stood the nnghties of many ages.
It was the crystal cadle of Moses, ana oil
its banks Mary, the refugee carried tho lue
fanr. Jesus. To find the birthplace of this
river was the fascination and defuat of ez
peiliti >ns without number. Not many year*
ago Bayard Taylor, our groat American
traveler, wrote: "Si .ca Columbus first
looked unou Han Salvador, the earth him
but one emotion of triumph ieft
for her bestowal, and that she
reserves fur him who shall first
drl k from ths fountains of the White
Nila under the snow field# of Kilimanjaro.”
But the disoovery of the sources of the Nile
by most peonle wa< considered an impossi
bility. The malarias, the wild beasts, the
savages, the unallrabable steeps, the vast
distances, stopped all the u'xpoditi ns fog
ages. An intelligent native said to Sir
Samuel VY. Baker and wife as they were
on their way to accomplish that in which
others had failed: “Give up the mad
scheme of tbe Nile source. How would It
bs possible for a lady young and delicate to
e :dure what w .uld kill the strongest ms it
Give it up." Hut ths work went on untfl
Hpeko, and Grant, and Baker had found
the two lakes wnlch are ths source of what
was called tbe While Mia, and baptised
tlie-e two lakes with ths names of Victoria
and Albert. The e two lakee, tiled by grant
ralnlalls aud by acouuu luted snows
from the mountains pour their waters,
ladsn with agricultural wealth such as
blesses no other river, on down over the
oaiaraots, on between frowning mountains,
on betwee i cities living and cities dead, on
for four thousand miles and through a conti
nent. But tbe White Nile would do little
for Egypt if this were all. It would keep
1 a banks and Egypt wuu and remain a desert.
Bjt irorn Abyssinia thero cones what i*
called the Blue’ Nile, which, though dry or
nearly dry half the year, under tremendous
rains about tne middle of June rises to great
momentum, at and this Is me Nile dashes with
sbdden lull ix iuto tbe White Nile, whioh in
consequence ri-.ee thirty feet, and
their combined waters inundate
Egypt with a rich soil which drops oh
*!! the fl -Ids and gardens oa it is con
ducted by ditches, ad sluices, and omals
every whither. Tho greiteet damage
that ever came to Egypt came by the dry
tig up of the river Nile, and the greatest
blessing by Its healthful and abundant flow.
Tne famine in Joseph's time came from
the lank of sufficient Inundation troth
tho Nile. Not enough Nile is drougth, toe
much Nile is freshet aud plague. The riven
of the earth are the mothers of its prosuer
itjr. If by some convulsion of nature ths
Mississippi should be taken from North
America,or the Amazon from 8 >uth Amer
ica, or the Danube from Europe, or
tho Yenosei from Asia what hemis
pheric calamity! Btil! there ar
other rivers that could fertile
is- and save these countries. Our
own continent is gulched, is ribboned, il
glorified by Innumerable water courses.
But Egypt has ouly one great river, and
that is harnessed to draw all the prosperities
of realms in acreage semi-infinite. Whal
happens to tne Nile, hanpens to Egyot. Ths
nilumeter was to mo very suggestive as w
we.it up and down its damp stone step# and
saw the pillar marked with niches telling
inst bow high or low are the waters of ths
Ilia. When tbe Nile is risiug, four criers

nounoing how many feet the river had
risen—ten feet, fifteen feet, twenty feet)
twenty four feet—and wbeu the right high!

are flung open and the liquid and rafrssb*

As we start where tbe Nile oinpti-s into
the Mediterranean sea we behold a wonder- 1
ful fulfillment of prophecy. The Nile in
very ancient timet used to have seven
mouth*. A* the great river approached the
nea it entered the sea at seven different
places. Isaiah prophesied: "The Lord shall
utterly destroy the tongue of tbs Egyptian
sea and shall smite it in the seven streams."
Tbe faot is they are all destroyed but two|
and He'odotus sad t ose two remaining
are artificial. Up the Nile we ehall got
part of the way by Egyptian rail tram and
then by boat, and we shall understand
why the Bible gives suoh prominence to
tnis river which is tbe largest river of all
the earth with one exception. But before
we board the train we meat take a look at
Alexandria. It was founded by Alexander
the Great and was once the New York, tbf
Farls, the London of the world. Templeei
palaces, fountains, gardens, pillared and
efflorescent with all architectural and
Klenie grandeur and sweetness. Apollo*,
tbe aloqueiit, whom In New Testament
times so.ue people tried t > make a rival to
Faul, lived here. Here Mark, the
author of tbe second book of
the New Testamont expired under N'ero’l
anatneina. From here thu ship sailed that
left I’aul and tbe crew struggling in tb|
breakers of Mellta.’ Fompey’s olilar is he el
