stration of workingmen at Pnndalk yesterday, made a ilattering appeal for their support. Ho dilated noon the stupidity of trying to quarrel with Kn itland after all the trouble and time that has been occupied in securing her friendship. It was a terrible thing to ask Ireland, with her steadily-dwindling population, to break with Mr. liladstone, at the risk of postponing home rule for another decade. Mr. Itedmond could not pretend that Ireland would nnito under his leadership. If this pint of faction i permitted to spread, before two years were over they would have as many parties as there are Irish members, and be in tbo nine position as they were fifteen years ago, when every man was for himself. No success was possible while the minority refused to be governed by the majority. He believed that Mr. (iladstone sras sincere in Ins home-rule ideas, but if Lis bill was inadequate he (Dillon would be the first to denounce it. and oust the Liberals from povrer, if necessary. FRANCE'S .NEW T AH IFF ACT.
Its Promulgation to lie Postponed The Duty on American Pork. Paris, Oct. 25. The new tariff act cannot be promulgated before the end of the present year, tberefora there will not be sufficient time to make it the subject of negotiations between the powers before the treaties with them lapse. The government, accordingly, will introduce in the Chamber of Deputies a bill to authorize them to establish commercial relations with foreign nations during the year 1892. The minimum tar id will be applied to Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal and Sweden, the treaties with which will expire in Febxuary, on. condition that .those powers grant France their lowest tariff rates. The minimum tar id will also be conceded to those nations now having the most favored treatment, which include Great Britain, Itassia, Mexico and Turkey. On the other hand, the United States, Italy and Jtoumania are subject to the maximum tariil. The French government will request the powers to revive, during the year lb'J"J. the treaties relating to navigation, trade marks, etc. The history of the debate in the senatorial tariff committee in regard to the proposition for rescinding the prohibition of the importation of American pork goes to show that the Senators who are opposed first urged a duty of .15 francs per one hundred kilos 'in lieu of the rescinding, contending that that ngure was about the name placed on pork under the McKinley bilL The proposal having been rejected the opposing Senators then suggested 30 francs per one hundred kilos. After a long debate this also was voted dawn. The measure as at length passed reads "25 lrancs per one hundred kilos," and the opposing Senators think it ought not to go lower than Germany's rate. The government, however, will demand that the Senate vote the 20-franc rate so as to agree to the proposition as it has already passed the Chamber of Deputies. The Senate is likely to ultimately' support the government demand. Senator Do CauTilIe. in an interview with the Associated Press leporter yesterday, said that the fact that the hygienic objection to the introduction of American pork had quite disappeared would greatly help the measure through the Senate. "1, ior one." continued the Senator, "am convinced that the general condition of American swine has grown better." M. Leroy lleanlieu. the economist, and president of Wine-growers Society, has i.nhlifthed an artlcln in the Economist) Francaise in which he contends that the I Senate has no constitutional right to raise the tariiF rates, which have been fixed by the Chamber of Deputies. Since the Senate lias no power to create new taxes, M. Beanlien holds that it cannot vote to increase them, although it may reduce duties. If the question of the limitation of the rights ot the Senate is actively raised, it is certain to lead to a conflict between the two houses and delay the passage of the - tariff bill. The government is about to appoint M. Eugene Spnller. the well-known politician and formerly Minister of Foreign Affairs, to the position of chief commissioner for France at the Chicago Columbian Exposition. M. Spuller has already made a visit to the United States and will no doubt ho a valuable man in his new place. M. Marc Millas. who was chief of the foreign section of the great exposition of 1SS9, will be a fellow-member and M. Bruwaert. the French consul-general at Chicago, will be an assistant commissoner. WAIL FR03I THE "TIIUJmEIlER." Thinks America Is Acting Hastily In Protesting Against the Valparaiso Outrage. London, Oct, 2G. The Times, commenting upon the assault upon sailors of the United States man-of-war Baltimore, at Valparaiso, says: "Admitting the perfect accuracy of the account of the affair told hy Judge Foster, who has been conducting the inquiry into the matter, it shows no justification or excuse for retaliatory violence ou the part of the Chilian mob. It is clear that a brutal outrage was nutted, and the Washington ernment has a good prima com-gOY-facie case to demand satisfaction. But the time has not yet come wh in such a demand could properly be pressed. If made now it would be made in hot blood and based upou incomplete information. It is not for a great and powerful nation like the Uuited States to deal in this high-handed fashion with a weak neighbor. It the United States insists, it will be prudent for Chili to yield. Some reparation and indemnity roust be given in due course, for the outrage is far too grave to bo suffered to pass without adequate atouement. Nor do we suppess Chili will take any other' view, whatever the result of Mr. Foster's inquiry, but an immediate and peremptory demand upon Chili such as President Harrison speaks of iw not what a self-respecting nation could either make or submit to willingly. Arguing that Chili is recovering lroin a regime, of bad government, the attack on the Baltimore's sailors may be regarded as an act in the same ararna. America's strong aggressive policy will tend to enhance the difficulties, the government having already a task hard enough to maintain law and order. So a sudden resolve before a full inquiry is made looks more like an outburst ot temper than the acts of statesmen, careful either of their own and the national dignity, or what is due to a weaker and equally sensitive govern men GENERAL. FOHE1GX NEWS. Pere Ilyaelnthe on Catholic Superstitions and the Pope' Pretensions. Paris, Oct. 23. Fere Ilyacinthe delivered an address in the Galilean Church in Paris to-day on behalf of the movement for the revision of the Concordat. There was an immense audience present, including many members of tho Senate and Chamber of Peputies. In his address tho speaker disclaimed any intention to attack the Catholic religion, but he condemned superatitious abuses, such as the Lourdes vision and the Treves coat, and he made a vehement attack ou the Pope:s temporal power agitation as inconsistent w.itb his priestly oilice. He said he honored Pope Leo for his exemplary virtues and courage, but not as a pretender to the possession of Italian soil, and to the right to enjoy exceptional laws which would recognize him as an earthly potentate. Pius IX, he regarded as a siucere man, but Leo was too vigorous a diplomatist, who would do wisely to herd the will of the Italian people and submit to the country's laws. The address was loudly applauded. Threatened Uprising in TCurmah. London, Oct. 2a.

Origin of the Anti-Jew Ish Riots.. Sr. Pktkksbukg. Oct. Co. The anti-Jewish riots at Starodoub arose from the people's resentment of the action of the municipal authorities in granting permission to Jews to open their shops on Sunday. In the midst of the riot a Jew struck a young Rnssian, and a report was spread that the latter had been killed. This greatly increased the fury of the populace. The rabble looted a numberof wine-shops, and many of tho rioters soon became drunk. Suddenly a fire, which is supposed to have been kindled by a Jew in despair, broke out in the Jewish quarter. The mob prevented the fire brigade from getting to work to extinguish the flames, and the result was that ten houses were destroyed. Tbo mob continued their work of pillage until a late hour in the night, A Hrave Engineer's Death. Paris, Oct. 25.

It being impossible to top in time to save her life, the engineer courageously crawled along the side of his engine in the hope of being able to snatch tho woman no away from death. Unfortunately, at the critical moment he missed his looting, and, falling heavily, both were ground to atoms. It seems too bad that the namo of the dead hero has not transpired.

IIE WASTED "GKEEN GOODS"
Dot Thought It Wise Not to Try to Pass Them in Ex-Treasurer Huston's Town. Letter from a Iloosier Found with the fleets of Two Noted Crooks Arrested at New York Yesterday Three Embezzlers. New Youk, Oct. 25. Inspector Byrnes today arrested two of the sharpest "greengoods" operators in the country. They are Frank Brooks, alias "Pretty Frank," and Terrence Murphy, alias "Poodle" Murphy. Both men are crooks and ex-convicts, having served sentences for pocket-picking and shop-lifting. Murphy has been arrested for robbing ex-Secretary Kobeson of a gold watch in Philadelphia. When arrested the men were found in the act of addressing a lot of circulars. In Brooks's room a complete "green-goods" outfit was seized. It consisted of forty-six large blank books rilled with the names of prospecti? e victims, together with a lot of circulars and newspaper clippings. The books contained more than sixty thousand names of well-to-do persons in nearly every town and village in the country. About six thousand letters and telegrams were also found from persons all over the country acknowledging receipt of circulars and making appointments for meeting in this city.

He recently resigned, as you are aware, but he would be apt to be very shrewd and well posted, would he not! and would probably detect them." Embezzled Tens of Thousands. Van Bukex, Ark., Oct. 25. A decided sensation has been created here by the report that J. M. Weaver, who has hitherto borne an irreproachable reputation, being a strict church member, is an embezzler. Weaver has been land agent for the Little Bock & Fort Smith railroad for a number of years. His duties consisted of selling land to settlers, receive part payment and transmitting the receipts and papers to the general offices of the company at Morrillton. After the first payment to Weaver, according to instructions, he should have informed the settlers that they must pay the balance direct to the railroad company. Instead of doing so, however, it is alleged that Weaver continued to collect the money. The railroad people finally notified the settlers that unless they paid up immediately they would be evicted. This brought matters to a focus and revealed a shortage which will probably run into the tens of thousands. Two 31 ore New Orleans Defaulters. New Orleans, Oct 25. Alfred Lugenbubl, chief book-keeper for Charles Ballejo, was arrested Saturday for embezzling $10,000 from bis employer.

Mr. Balleio accidentally discovered an error, happened to look further and found more, and then quietly summoned experts, who have already figured out nearly the amount mentioned. Another defalcation is that of Major D. A. Given, a prominent ex-confederate adjutant-general on General Gordon's veteran staff. He was secretary of the Mechanics' Homestead Association. He is about $10,000 short in his accounts. ASLEEP 135 DAYS. Remarkable Case of a Michigan Girl Who Fell Into a Slumber Last June. Laxsino, Mich., Oct. 25. One of the most remarkable cases that has ever engaged the attention of physicians in this vicinity is that of Miss May White, a young woman about twenty-three years of ape, who for the last 135 days has been in a continuous state of slumber. She is now lying at the house of Dr. Brown, of Stockbridge, several mile south of here, who has had charge of tho strange case since its inception, and had the patient removed to his own house bo that he might give her closer attention. Miss White, until stricken, was a bright young woman, and taught school in the neighborhood of her home. While attending a business school in Jackson in July of last year she was attacked by nephritis. An abscess formed in her side and after intense suffering she was relieved of it. Some time afterward she was attacked by epilepsy and suffered terribly from convulsions, having as many as fifty in a single hour. These continued until June last, when the young lady 'suddenly dropped into a slumber so deep that for days no one was able to rouse her. Her weight has steadily decreased until at present she weighs but tifty pounds, having lost over seventy pounds since the beginning of her slumber. Dr. Brown is the only person who is able to rouse the sleeping girl, and the operation requires from twenty minutes to an hour, fche is fed three times a day with light nourishment. She awakes about half an hour, during which time she converses intelligently and takes an interest iu reading the newspapers. At tho end of half an hour she relapses into an unconscious condition, in which she remains until her physician again awakens her. Dr. Brown thinks the girl is gradually gaining more vitally, and ho believes she will soon come out of her lethargic state. Obituary. Paris, Oct. .

THE FATAL KKIDGE AT ATTICA. The Reward That Came for Saving the Life of a Green Drakeman. Barry Barton, in Argentine (Han.) Republic. "I don't believe a good action ever goes unrewarded." said an old railroad man the other day to the writer. Out with it then." "Out with what!" "Why, your little honest confession, of course.' "Well, about twenty years ago I was shoveling black diamonds to boil the water in a locomotive on the Wabash railway between Lafayette. Ind., and Danville, 111. Near Attica, Ind.. there was an overhead wagon bridge across the track that had killed no less than live brakemen in four years: and one dark, stormy night, in coming down the the hill, 1 happened to remember that we had a green brakeman ahead who was unacquainted with the road. I spoke to the engineer about it, but he said: 'Oh, let him go; he's all right. lint I didn't feel like letting a fellow-mortal tako any such chances, and started back over the train, crawling from car to oar in the Egyptian darkness, and came near being blown off several times, as it was blowing great guns, and old Xo. 53 was fanning that train fitty miles per hourdown the summit. Back twelve cars from the engine I found lirakesy,' who was as tall, handsome a young man as you could find in a thousand, and he was twisting up the slack of those brake chains with neatness and despatch, while the wheels made a regular torchlight procession along the rails. He was badly scared when he first discovered me. by the light of his old glim crawling along the running-board, with my face as black as the ace of spades from the dusty diamonds. "Sitdowu! Sit down!' I cried, so loud that! almost imagined the whistlo was sounding for Attica: and down he sat so hard and quick that he bit his tongue, and the next moment we Hew under the bridge. while his lamp seemed to burn brighter as it disclosed those heavy timbers over our heads that killed many poor brakemen. He camo near fainting when he clasped my hand, and we 6at for several moments on the wet deck of the car, and neither of us 6Doko a single word, but we were as white around tho gills as the ghost of Hamlet's father. "Six years afterward I was. in Fort Wayne, Ind., at the Wabash depot, one morning, the most disconsolate man on God's green earth. I had been hurt on the road several years before, was unable to work, and was trying to get back home to old Lafayette, Ind., as I thought, to die. I was hungry and tired, and didn't have a cent in the world, arid to see people step np to the lunch-counter and call for hot coffee that was smelling to heaven was euough to set a poor, flat-broke invalid crazy. I had begun to think that all my friends had been conveniently translated bodily from earth to heaven, when a tall, handsome conductor, with a silver lamp and gold-banded cap. approached me aud inquired: "'Didn't you lire an engine about live years ago on the western division of the Wabashf' "Vea,1 1 replied, 'and it was a eorry day that I ever went to railroading.' Do you recognize met Xo, sir;' and yet I thought his face began to assume the angelic. "Well. I will refresh your memory. Do you recollect of risking your life one dark, stormy night iu crawling over a freight train to warn a green brakeman about a dangerous overhead bridge below Attica?' Vou bet I do! liut you're not liilly, the hrakeul-nl' '".No, sir! Xo more Hilly in mice; it's Will sweet Will tho couductor on the throush passenger,' and he broke out into a musical laugh that nearly rattled the dishes on tho lunch counter. "The tears came to my eyes in spite of mo, for I was weak, weary and heartsick. He noticed them. and. clasping my hand, said, in sweetest words that ever fell on mortal ears: " 'Come, come! Shut her off and oil the valves,' and he led me to a stool at the lunch-counter and said: Now, you sit here and fill up. Let a few biscuits hit the chair and you will be all right again.' "He stepped into the despatched oflice to get his orders while I poured down coffee that would discount the nectar of the gods. He appeared in about ten minutes aud said. 'All aboard for Lafayette.' took me by the arm and led me to a coach, aud then stepped hack to the platform and waved his moss agate at the engineer. I curled up in the seat when the train started to hide the tears that kept welling up in my eyes, and for the first time in twenty long years I could have cried like a baby. I believe in a special providence since that terrible night and the morning I w.aa heart-broken: and Kill the sweetest Will on earth is still pulling a bell-cord in the varnished cars on tho old Wabash." Price of I'aat Horses. Hartford Courant. How can a horse sell at 100.000 and be reckoned cheap at that, when another lioree, that will haul a load of wood easier than he can, will not bring $2oOT The answer is that this horse's coits will bring Sl.-VW apiece when a year old, and if he has fifty colts a year these will soon show the bargain profitable. Hut there is one assumption in this that calls for further inquiry. What makes the colts sell for Sl.'OO apiece? If so be they happened to fall to l()0 apiece, where would tho bargain be then? This paying immense prices for horses because their young will bring immense prices must eventually he run down to some actual rea-

Trie chance of owning that horse is the reason for each parchasu. Uut the horse race, as carried on to-day, depends more upon the pool-box than upon the course itself. A fosv thousand people, more or less, look at the struggling hordes, while tens of thousands, all over the country, look at the bulletins of results and rake in other people's money or par over what they have themselves earned or stolen. The gambling instinct is under it all, and if all betting, speculating and eambiing on horse-races were really ended then the $100,000 horses would brinR their prices no more. But It's a pretty old instinct. You can bet on that, so to speak. PRIMITIVE AVIIALE-IULLING. Indians In Washington Capture Six Monsters in the Easiest .Fashion. Letter In Fan Francisco Examiner. Last Friday as the echooner Robert Lowers, Captain Fenhallow, lor Honolulu, was entering Fuca strait, fcbe passed live canoes tilled with Indiana, who were attacking a whale in their primitive style. The harpoons are fitted with a socket, into which the harpoon stall of solid yew is inserted. A lanyard about five fathoms Ions has one end fastened to the harpoon head and the other end secured to a buoy made of a hair sealskin taken otl whole, with the hair-side in. The holes made by the tlippers and neck are closed up air tight, except that the neck has a hollow wooden plug, throngh which the Indian blows ud the skin while fresh and soft till it is full of air, and when dried it is as tight as a drum and as buoyant as a bladder. in attacking a whale the harpoon is driven into the blubber with ere at force, and the staff' of the harpoon comes out of the socket, leaving the barbed head hrmly lixed in the whale's carcass withtbeskm buoy Uoating at the other end of tne lanyard. The Indians get as many harE oons into the whale as they can. and the uoys prevent his sinking. The Indians then kill the whalo with their long lances and when dead he is towed ashore and tbe blubber and meat taken oil and divided. Tho Indians were whooping and yelling, and linally the whale headed for the schooner and passed directly under her. bottom, bnoys and all, giving those on board a tine chance to see the circus. When the whale again came up the Indians were ready with their lances, and soon tbe water was dyed with its blood, and before tbe Lewers had got out of sight thev had killed their huge game and all the canoes were fast to it with songs and shouts of victory. Tbe Indian whaling business at Cape Flattery is one of the Calling industries of Washington. A full and complete set of their whaling outfit will make a very attractive addition to the world's Columbian exhibit ct Chicago of the fisheries of the .State of Waihingtrii The Indians killed six other whales this season.
