BATTLE IN PRAGUE.

THE POLICE ENCOUNTER AN UNRULY MOB. i .1 Dynamiters Rampant in Paris—Two Congressmen Draw from tlie Same Fountain of Eloquence—The Terrible Result of a Mother's Carelessness. Congressional. Tho silver bill betas shelved, the Rouse on the 29th proceeded with the consideration of the free-wool bill, the entire duy being devoted to debate. Mr. Stewart of Nevada gave notice in tho Senate that imicedlately after the morning houron the 4th prox. he should call up his free coinage of sliver bill, now on the Senate calendar, with an adverse report. Tho nomination of John H. Baker to he United Stales District Judge for Indiana in place of Judge Woods, was taken up by the Senate in secret session and confirmed. The Senate also confirmed the nomination of Milo A. Jewett, consul at Sivas. Turkey, and D. T. Hindman, of Britton. S. I).. agent ftrthe Indians at the Sisseton agencr. S. D. The credentials of Roger Q. Mills as senator from 'Jexas were laid before the senate, together with a letter from Mr. Mills saying that he had transmitted his resignation as a congressman to the governor of Texas. The senate by a unanimous vote ratified the Behring Sea treaty without any restrictive conditions.

HE BOUGHT HIS SPEECH. Carious to Relate It Was Almost a Duplicate of That Delivered by Heldcn. There is blood on the face of the moon which shineson Representatives Tim Campbell and Beldou from New York, says a Washington dispatch. It all conies from Tim’s lack of aspee.'hmaker's ability. It was brought to light whoa the Congrosslona Record, showing the speeches of the two men at the Spiliola obsequies, was read. Beldcn made his speech, hut Tim contented himself with, having his printed in the Record. A comparison shows them to be identical in thought, and in many parts word for word. The question was, who was the filcher? It was supposed that some newspaper correspondent had written both, and, being in a hurry, had duplicated them in part. Belden was very mad when he heard of it. It appears that both are right. Belden wrote ills speeoli, and according to reports Felix McC'loskey, a protege of Spinola and an officeholder, went to Belden and •ecured his speech to show to Widow Spinola for cerrection. Whether he copied it. or having read it retained unconsciously certain passages in his memory, is not' known.

SLASHED WITH SWORDS. - Blobs in Prague Fight with the Police and Many Men Receive Wounds. Some time ago preparations were begun In Prague by the National Czechs to coieprate the anniversary of the birth of John Corneulus. the distinguished educational reformer.

The Czech; »,er: highly indignant and the leaders declarod that the day should be celebrated in spite of the prohibition. An enormous crowd surrounded the monument to the Poet Haiek on the Carl Plata The police attempted to disperse the crowd, but they were resisted with dogged determination. Orders were then given to charge the crowd, arid desperate fighting followed. The mob was armed with sticks, and dealt many severe blows to the gendarmes. The latter slashed right and left with their swords, and finally* after a pitched battle, the crowd was forced to retreat. Many of the rioters were placed under arrest PARIS PANIC-STRICKEN. Dynamite Bomb Exploded in the Credit Lyonnais. One of the Principal Banks. The wildest excitement prevailed at Paris, Tuesday afternoon, wh.*n it became known that another dynamite explosion had occurred. This time it was in the building of the Credit Lyonnais, cne of the large, t banking institutions in the city. The streets were crowded at the time and tho news flew from mouth to mouth like wildfire. Intense terror prevails throughout the city and the people fear to go to their beds, not knowing at what point the dynamiters may next operate. Premier Loubet held a conferencj with the chief of the Parisian detective force. It was resolved that the. police should not be limited in the stringency of their treatment of suspected dynamiters, and that ail arrested on reasonable suspicion should be treated with tho utmost rigor allowed by the law.

FIGHT OR BACK DOWN. Salisbury Pat In a.Corner by the President’s Keply. A war cloud blacker than any since the rebellion hangs over this nation. Whether It will burst and send down ruin and disaster on so many homes, or whether It will pass away without doing harm, no one In Washington, says a dispatch, can with confidence predict. The solution of the question rests with Lord Salisbury. It is his move upon the great chess board of nations, and that operation is being awaited with eager Interest Speculation on the direction of that move Is rife. It is tho topic of the day. Will it bo backward or forward? Will Salisbury back down or fight? It is the opinion here that he must do one thing or tho other. It is not expected that ho will consent to a renewal of the modus vlvejidl. Such a surrender after his last refusal Is considered out of the question Tho President has taken a stand from which he cannot recede. “The property of this Government will be protected even if it takes tho military force of the country to do It,” is the tenor of his late note, and whether Salisbury replies again or not the President will fulfill his declaration. It, there-* fore, devolves upon Salisbury to say, if he say anything at all, whether Great Britain will permit tho seizure'” of poachers bearing the British flag, or whether she will, if necessary, resist such seizure by force of arms. If tlie former, well and good. If the latter, let the responsibility for the greatest war the world will havo ever seen rest upon his head

MERCANTILE MIRROR. R. G. Dun St Co.’» Reflections ot Business Conditions. R. G. Dun A Co.’s weekly review of trade says: Business indications aro not quite so clear. There Is, on the whole, less evidence of Improvement in distribution, and yet the prospect in the great Industries seems brighter. The movement of grain and cotton falls off, and the sharp decline in prices is felt in many quarters, but the tone in the iron, woolen, cotton, and shoe manufactures is rather improved. The money markets are abundantly supplied. With unusually conflicting signs the confidence which prevails in business c rcles is still unabated. But for the uncertainty how far foreign relations will affect money and business here, tho general confidence in the future of trade would seem to bo justified. The business failures occurring throughout the country during the last seven days number 231, as compared with totals of 240 last week. For the corresponding week of last year the figures were 250.

Says Cleveland Is the Man. Ex-Postmaster General Dickinson has returned to Detroit from an absence of several weeks In the East, and was asked what impressions of the political situation lie had gathered while away. “I visited New York, Washington and Boston during my absence,” said Mr. Dickinson, “met a large number of men prominent in p illtics, and think that I understand the situation pretty clearly. My opinion, from what I learned in New York. Washington and Boston—and, in Boston, Gov. Russell told roe that Cleveland was 5,000 votes stronger in Massachusetts than lie is—is that Cleveland will be nominated at the Chicago convention by practical unanimity before New York is Cached in the Call of Ftatas. There are reasons, too, for believing that the delegation chosen in New York at the midwinter convention will not hang together until the date of the national convention.”

Fighting Over Corn. Baltimore and Philadelphia are about to have another tilt over corn. A few weeks ago Baltimore was getting nearly all the western trade, her total exports from January 1 being over 12,000,003 bushels, against 1.200.003 for the corresponding period of 1891. But a change lias com*. The receipts there now aro very light, and corn 1 ; going to Philadelphia. The statement Is-made on the Cora and Flour Exchange that Pbiladelphl has been at work for two months in the west, making bids and selling at prices that no other market could even aiproximate. No One Dared lnfirfcre. Henry J. Smith, a San Francisco s'otecutt'er, killed himself in sight of a sicken *d crowd vh > dared not interfere. Smith had an attack of delirium tiemens and was strapped to his bed. He escaped, ran to a neighboring fishmonger's stall, secured a knife and then ran up the street to a vacant lot. where he turned and warned off the fishermen who were pursing him. He then drew the kn'fe several times across his throat, the crowd which had collected being too horrlUed to interfere. At the fourtli stroke he sjvered the Jugular vein and windpipe and fell dead *in the sv nd.

Death in the lilow. August A. Rinteleman. a Milwaukee capitalist. died at St. Mary's hospital, Salt Lake City, under peculiar circumstances. In San Francisco lie took a Turkish bath, and while the attendant wus rubbing hilm his hand slipped and he lilt Mr. Rinteleman a violent blow in tho side. It was a little painful at the time, but he thought little of it until llio spot begun to swell and blood-poisoning set in. Physicians performed an operation, but it did not Improve the patient’s condition. Chinese Cannot Evade the Law. Wcrd has been received at Ottawa, Ont, that In order to evade the United States exclusion act Chinamen are taking out naturalization papers In Montreal, thus becoming British subjects, and as such crossing over Into the Untied Statos, bidding the American laws defiance. In the highest Canadian official circle; it Is held that, although he may boconv: a British subject, a Chinaman under that plea cannot claim exemption from tho United States exclusion ac*.

TRIFLING MUST CEASE.

j SOME VERY PLAIN TALK TO LORD SALISBUHY. England Informed that the United States Will Protect Their Seals at Any CostCorrespondence Submitted to tho Senate The President’s Posliiou. Mill Protect xhe Seals. In n message to tho Senate transmitting the recent correspondence with . Lord Salisbury In regard to the Bering j Sea matter. President Harrison inti- | mates that he is in favor of protecting the seal fisheries againet poachers at all hazards, regardless of the wishes of 1 Great Britain, He has eonoluded that ! the British government is not desirous | of co-operuting with tho United States ! as against the Canadian poachers, and , that further efforts to secure an agree- | nient of tho sort which would be rea- | souably fair to this country are -useless, i A firm purpose to stand by the President was shown in the brief debate in the executive session of the Senate over the | correspondence and the message accompanying It from tho Whit? House, j The character of Lord Salisbury’s communication was,so remarkable as to ' cause universal expressions of surpriso j and indignation. Lord Salisbury obi jects to the renewal of the modus vivendi on the ground of the length of time likely to be taken in presenting the case to the arbitrators and in their deliberations after the case is before them. ; The British premier says, in substance, that if the modus vivendi is renewed , this year an appeal will doubtless be : made by the United States for its renewal again next year and the year after, and possibly the year after that. Lord Salisbury does not consider this the proper way of dealing with the question. He cites the ease of some negotiations now going on b< tween Portugal and Great Britain as an illustration of tho delays incidental to arbitration of international disputes, and intimates , that the negotiations over Bering tea , may last for thi-ee or four years. | He also reiterates the old English argument that pelagic sealing is not deI structive to seal lite, and substantially

intimates to President Harrison that it is a matter of indifference to the British Government what action is taken by tins country. The plan he suggests by which the President may protect the interests of the United States during the long period of tho negotiations is regarded aliko in the Cabinet' and in the Senate as an indication of his disposition to treat the subject with little regard for American rights and little inclination to assist in a satisfactory soluti n. He suggests that the Government of the United States may take a bond of the Canadian sealers to indemnify the United States for the seals taken in case the arbitration goes against the Canadian claims, an 1 that the United States shall give a bond at the same time to indemnify the sealers for any loss they may suffer by American interference in case the arbitration goes against this country. Lord Salisbury does condescond to work out the details by which this remarkable treaty between the United States and a lot of irresponsible peachers shall be carried out, but courteously leaves that for the consideration of the President. Tho mere reading of this remarkable comconnnunication in the last Cabinet meeting was enough to determine .the Cabinet to stand by the President in’the most decided measures he might feel called upon to take. The nows quickly went round that a message from tho President on the Bering Sea difficulty had urrived, and it was not long before the Senate went into executive session to receive it. The reading of Lord Salisbury’s letter was listened to with great surprise, which greatly whetted tlie appetites of Senators for tho President’s response. The response was generally commended as firm and to the point. The President renewed his former declaration that a modus vivendi seemed to him the natural and only proper manner of dealing with the question, pending the action of impartial arbiirulors. He did not discuss at great length the effect of pelagic sealing, for he considered its destructive character sufficiently established by the reports of experts and the facts already laid before the British Government.

i The President declares Lord Salisbury’s suggestion about exchanging bonds with the poachers .to bo impracticable and undignified, ’ and altogether beyond serious consideration by the ; Government of the United States. The | President leaves a loophole still open for Lord Salisbury to accept the renewal , of the modus vivendi, but declares that | if the modus vivendi be not renewed this I year he will not hold himself responsible for any consequences that may follow.

This is an almost litoral quotation from the message prepared by the President, and is intended to intimate in the language of diploma y that our Government will endure no further trifling in the matter, and that, if the British Government refuses a reasonable arrangement for the protection of the seals, the United States will enforce her extreme rights with her full naval power. The u tual motion followed the reading of tho papers in the Senate to refer them to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. There xvas some running debate on this motion widch disclosed a general feeling of indignation against Lord Salisbury and a willingness to sustain the President. One of tho Democratic Senators wanted the correspondence made public, but Senator Sherman objected, and succeeded in defeating tlie motion to make tlie letters public, but their importance and the gravity ol the situation they disclosed were soon known to those interested and were a lively subject of discussion about the hotels at night. Senator Sherman is in favor of ratifying the treaty now pending and then following with whatever action may bo necessary to enforce the laws against the poachers, and protect the seals within tlie recognized jurisdiction of the United Stutes, pven if the entire navy be require,! for the purpoie. Senator Teller and some of the other Western members,notably those from the Pacific coast, are not disposed to notice tho pending treaty any further, but favor immediate steps to arrest poaching, regardless of any feelings Great Britain may have on the subject after this action.

BLAND’S BILL IS DEAD.

THE MEASURE WAS KILLED BY ADJOURNMENT. Speaker Crisp an<l Western Democrats Gave the Measure a Life, but a Vote Was Not Reached, and Sliver Men Concede Its Final Defeat. Blocked the BUI. According to a Washington dispatch the free silver bill is defeated, the House having adjourned without a vote on the bill. This ended the legislative day for which the special order was made, and the Bland bill now has no more rights in the House than any other measure. In all probability it will not be taken up again in this session of Congress. Mr. Bland hopes to get another special order from the Committee on Bule3, but the chances are decidedly against him. Gen. Warner, the chief lobbyist for the bill, admitted that the bill was defeated. This is without much question the end of the great campaign of the siiverites in this Congress. The closing of the contest was matked by great excitement and bitterness. Frequently the House was in such confusion as to require the assistance of sergeants-at-arms to clear the floor, and the great mace, which is used only on rare occasions, was paraded up and down the aisles as a warning to turbulent members. On the morning of the last day of the discussion the anti-silver forces were willing to concede their defeat. At midnight they were confident of ultimate victory. Three times during the night they routed the enemy, but each time the free silver forces rallied and left the final result in doubt. Speaker Crisp was once compelled to vote in order to save the bill from defeat, an effort which availed nothing in the face of the determined opposition of the Northern and Northwestern Democrats. The silver battle in the House began in earnest at 5 o’clock in the evening. All afternoon the orators had been making speeches. This was simply the cannonading, but from 5 o’clock on the opposing forces met in a bitter hand-to-hand conflict. No such fierce and bitter struggle has been seen in the House for many a year. On one side was Bland, calm and confident, anticipating an easy victory. On the floor was General Warner, the chief of the silver lobbyists, radiantly looking forward to a triumph over the hated gold-bugs. Behind the silver leaders was a strong and determined force of Democrats, chiefly from the South and West, but with a scattering of votes in Ohio, Indiana, Southern Illinois, Michigan, and lowa. They were joined •by a handful of Republicans from the far West. In all they were about one hundred and fiity strong. Arrayed against them were eighty Deraootats from New England and the Northern and Northwestern States and seventy Republicans. These anti-silver forces were led by Tracy and Cochran of New York, Harter and Outhwaite of Ohio, for the Democrats, and Tom Reed, Burrows, and Abner Taylor for the Republicans. At different times during the night’s battle 300 members voted. Of these 80 wore Republicans, 212 Democrats, and 8 Farmers’ Alliance. Of the 80 Republicans all but seven voted to lay the Bland bill on the table. The seven pro-silver Republicans wire Bowers of California, Clark of Wyoming, Vincent Taylor of Ohio, Lalley of South Dakota, Pickier of North Dakota, Townsend of Colorado, and Bartine of Nevada.

Of the 212 Democrats, seventy-eight voted against Bland. All the Democrats from New England, all those from New York, excepting Rockwell, who voted on the advice of Senator Hill; all those from New Jersey, excepting Fowler; all from Pennsylvania, excepting Reilly, were against the bill. Maryland was solid against Bland, with the exception of Mr. Comp'.on, who voted on one roll-call and then disappeared. Mr. Wilson, of West Virginia, was the only member from that State to vote against Bland. Ohio Democrats gave 9 votes for Bland and 3 aga’nst, with Donovan dodging and Tom Johnson voting both ways. The three anti-silver men were Outhwaite, Harter and Pattison. All the Democrats from Indiana voted with Bland, two or three of them reluctantly. Of the Michigan Democrats, Chipman, Stout and Wheeler voted against Bland. Mr. Babbitt was the only man in the Wisconsin deiegatlon to vote with the Blnndites. The Illinois Democrats voted as follows: With Bland —Williams, Wike, Steward, Fithian and Lane. Against Bland—Newberry, McGann and Cable. Busey voted twice with Bland, and then arranged a pair with Mr. Springer. On the first roll-call Snow and Scott voted with Bland, but afterward paired, Mr. Snow desiring to change his vote. Mr. Durborow was paired, but reached the hall just before midnight, with his gripsack in his hand, eager for an opportunity to go on record against free silver. All the Illinois Republicans voted against 'Bland, including General Post, who is a free coinage man. The lowa Democrats divided, Hayes, Seerley, and Bowman voting against Bland. Kansas and Nebraska were solidly for the bill, Mr. Funston’s vote being a surprise. Tom Reed attempted to whip the Kansan into line, but was unable to do so. Only one Missourian, Mr. Cobb, voted against Bland. Only two Democrats from the extreme Southern States, Brawley, of South Carolina, and Meyer, of Louisiana, voted against Bland. All the Farmers’ Alliance members voted for free silver. The New York Democrats are very indignant at Tim Campbell and Stahinecker, both of whom were absent and not paired. Had they been in their places the bill could have been beatqn. Campbell arrived at midnight, too late to be of any service.

Could Wants the Earth.

Jay Gould wants the eastlo of Chapultepec and would give about $7,000,000, about wh(it it cost the American Government to take it in the Mexican war.—Minneapolis Times. Probably the story that Jay Gould has offered the Mexican Government $7,000,00!) for the castle of Chapultepeo is a hoax. Tne fancy of the wizard does not lie in the direction of relics—unless they be relics of railroads he has succeeded in wrecking.—Baltimore American. Jay Gould is said to have offered $7,000,000 for the castle of Chapultepeo, Mexico. This is probably a canard. Gould will not buy an institution which c annot be stocked and bonded for more than it is worth. Castles are not in his line, and the Mexicans can rest easy.— Omaha Bee.

NOTE FROM SALISBURY.

HE WOULD RENEW THE MODUS VIVENDI. Hi* Lordship insists, However, that the Pending TreKty First Be Ratified, and that Provision Be Made for the Assessment of Damages. Salisbury Sauce. Lord Salisbury has replied as follows to Sir Julian Pauncefote in response to Mr. Wharton’s note: “In reply to your telegram notice has been given to owners of ships sailing lor Behring Sea that both agreements at present under discussion between Great Britain and the Fnited States—that as to arbitration and that as to an intermediate arrungc ..lent—may affect the liberty of sealing in Behring bea. They have, therefore, notice of their liability lo possible interruption, and will saii subject to that notice. The question of time is not, therefore, urgent. "Inform the President that we concur in thinking ihat when ihe treaty has been ratified there will ar.se a newstate of things. 1 util it is ratified our eouduot is governed by the language of your note of the 14th of June, 18J0. but when it is ratified both .parties must admit that contingent rights have become vested in the other, which both desire to protect. “ Vie think that the prohibition of sealing, if it stands a.one, will be unjust to British sea.ers if ttre decision o. the arbitrators sh.u d be adverse to the United States. A e are, however, wiiling, when tne treaty nas been ratixied, to agree to an arrangement similar to that or last year it tue United States wi.l consent that the arbitrators should, m the event of a decision adverse to the l nitcil States, assess the damages which the proh b.tion of sealing snail have inflicted on British sealers during tne penaency of the a.bitration, and in the event of a decision adverse lo Great Biitain should assess the damuges which the limitation of slaughter shall, during the pendency of arbitration, have inflicted on the United States or their lessees.

“As an alternative course we are also willing, after the l aUtica’.iou of the treaty, to prohibit scaling in the disputed waters if vessels be exempted from prohibition which produce a certificate that they have given security for such damages us the arbitrators may assess ;n case of a decision averse to Great Britain, the arbitrators to receive the necessary authority ou that behalf. Iri this ease a restrict.ou of slaughter on ihe islands will not in point ol equity he he cessary. "Her .Majesty’s Government are unable tj see any other than one of these two methods of restricting seal hunting in the disputed waters during ilie uro.tration which would be equitable to both putties.” Salisbury Stages His Terms.

The note to Sir Julian Pauncefote of June 14, 189 j, referred to in Lord Salisbury’s reply, is as follows: \\ Astil.sOTox, June It.—With ref. renco to the note which 1 had the honor to autlress you outlie 11th i desire tj express u.y deep tegre.. at having tailed up to the present time to rec ive from yt.u the assurance which I it a hoped to receive, that (luring the continuance of our negotiations for the settlement of the fur seal quest.on lir t sh sealing vessels tvouid not be interfered with uy United Stales revenue cruisers in the Behring Sea outside of lerrlior.al tv.. tars.

I have accordingly the lienor to transmit the same herewith. I have, eta, Julian I’A'jnceiotk. flnclosurc.) (Received June If. 12:33, 1893.) The undersigned, her Britannic majesty’s envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to tne United States of America, has the honor, by instruction of ills Government, to make to the Honorable James G. Blaine, Secretary of State of the United Stat.s, the following: Her Majesty’s Government has learned with deep regret from notices which have appeared in the public press, the accuracy of which has been confirmed by Mr Blaine’s statements to tho undersigned, that the United States have issued instructions to their revenue cutters about to bo dispatched to Behring Sea under which tho vessels of British subjects will again be exposed under the prosecution of their legitimate industry on the high seas to unlawful inter.erence at the hands of American officers. Her Britannic Majesty’s Government are anxious to co-opeiate to the fullest extent of their po or with the government of the United States in such measure as may be found to be expedient for the protection of the seal Usheries They are at the present moment engaged in examining, in concert with the Government, of the United States, the best method of .arriving at an agreement upon this point But they cannot admit tha right of the United States of their own sole motion to restrict for thi. purpose the freedom of navigation of Behring Sea, which the United States have then selves in former years convincingly and successfully vindicated, nor to enforce their municipal legislation against Btitish vessels on the high seas beyond the limits of their territorial Jurisdiction. Her Britannic Majes y’s Government are therefore unable 1 1 pass over wit hout notice the public announcement of an intenijn on the part of the Government of tiie Jnitrd States to renew tho acts of interference with Brit sh vessels navigating outside the territorial waters of the United States, of which they have previous’y had to complain. The Undersigned is. in consequence, instructed formally to protest against such In erference. and to declare that her Kr*tanniaMajesty’s Government must hold the G nernment of the United Slates responsible for the consequences that may ensue from act* which are contmry to iho establ shed principles of international law.

Flighty American Women.

The recent shooting at Yokohama will be a striking proof to the Japs of the superiority in culture and civilization claimed by America and England.— Pittsburg Dispatch. The Hetherington-Robinson affair ai Yokohama closely resembles the Dea-con-Abeille tragedy at Cannes. The honor of American husbands is being very tragically vindicated all over the world of late. —Boston News.

The shooting of Abeille by Deacon and Robinson by Hetherington emphasizes the good old lesson that if a mao wants a wife it’s safer in the long run to get one of his own rather than to fool with the wife of the other fellow.— Philadelphia Cal . The Hetherington shooting at Yokohama seems to bo another case of good riddance. The male flirt who .was removed by Lieutenant Hetherington will not be seriously missed except by a little coterie of creatures of his own class.. —Minneapolis Tribune. The giddy American wif > has become an international celebrity. The tragedy in Yokohama follows the lines of that in Southern Franco, and the tongue ot scandal will now wag the harder the world over at the expanse of the fashlonaDle American woman abroad.—Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.
