trip next fall, and is already at work on a schedule, which will embrace games with some of the big teams. The eleven will have meetings once a week this winter. to talk over foot-bail, and will begin work early next fall. A first-class coach will be secured, and it is thought, with the material at hand, Indianapolis can put a team in the field that will be an honor and a credit to the City. La*t Game at Kan*n* City. The final foot-ball struggle of Che sea•on occurred this afternoon in Kansas City betw’een the University of Kansas and the University of Minnesota. The Kansas boys won the annual contest with Missouri Thursday by a score of 30 to 0. Not ifince the game has been played in the West has Missouri met with such an overwhelming defeat. Theng is the great-, est rivalry between the two teams, and a crowd of over ten thousand people witnessed the game. The Minnesota eleven arrived In Kansas City Thursday mom.ng and enjoyed the contest. They will have a slight advantage over the Kansas boys In having been able to see the Jayha wkers play and stpdy their »tyle of game. The Kansas team has - never been east of the Mississippi, and the result of the game has been regarded with interest, as it will give an idea of the strength of the Western teams. Minnesota defeated North*weatems, Chicago and Purdue. Michigan barely won a victory by a score of 6 to 4, and Wisconsin had a hard time defeating the boys form Minneapolis by a score of « to 0.

Captain* Elected. Following the time-honored custom, both Pennsylvania elected their captains for next season Immediately after the Thanksgiving game. Jack Minds, full-back this season, was elected captain of the Pennsylvania team. This Is his third season on the eleven. He has played end, half and full-back, and was one of the best men on the Eastern gridiron this season. McKeever, a Philadelphia boy, was elected captain of the Cornell team. This was his first season on the eleven, but he clearly demonstrated his abJity, and the choice met with general approval among the students.

Foot-Ball and Prise-Fighting. Kansas City, Mo., November 28.—The Times states that during the coming stssion of the Legislature an attempt will be made to pass a law putting the game of foot-ball on the same plant as prize-fight-ing, which Is a felony in Missouri. It is aiuted that Representative Crtep, who is mentioned as a candidate for Speaker o.' the House, will introduce a bill embodying such legislation. Senator O. Q. Young also favors such legislation, and declares that if such a law is not enacted he wih favor a repeal of the law against prize-

fighting.

BICYCLING.

The Preparation* of Next Year** .Model*—Manafaeturer* Caution*. Indianapolis has been filled with bicycle men during the past, three weeks. The dealers and local manufacturers have done little else besides look at samples of tubing, tires, sprockets, rims, saddles, hubs, in fact every posalble contrivance which Is used In the construction of a wheel. There have been some decided novelties in the way of tires and several rubber concerns have put out tires which they claim can not be punctured. The first firm that does succeed In getting a tire that can not be punctured will have

a gold mine.

The local manufacturers are moving very cautiously in the way of their ‘97 models. While some of them have completed their new wheels none has yet been put on-exhibition. There is a feeling that some one Is going to spring a radical change of some sort and they are gll waiting for the innovation before committing themselves to any pattern but little removed from the *96 model. Nearly all of the local wheels will use a continuous crank and the wooden handle-bars. In another week nearly all of the factories will be running a full force of men. A small force has been at work In each plant making tools for the past month, •nd just as soon as the details for the fiew models are thoroughly worked out

the factories will start up.

ladlana L. A. NV. Officer*.

The Indiana officers of the League of merlcan Wheelmen are alb enthusiastic rheelmen and devoted to the Interests of the league. Wallace Sherwood, the chief consul, has lived here for several years, and has always been a hard worker in the interest of the league. For the past two years he has published the Bulletin, a weekly paper devoted to cycling. Sherwood has been a wheel rider for more than twenty years. He had charge of the Observation station on Pike’s Peak for •everal years, and was the first man who over rode up to the Peak on a wheel. He |s engaged Jn the printing business In Bouth Delaware street, but will devote a great deal of his time to the league. Sherwood was appointed chief consul soon after the resignation of Maro Thompson last summer, and during the short time that he held office showed that he was

Btted for the position.

Walter B. Hassen. of Terre Haute, was

Oe-elected vice-consul. Hassen did a great deal of the work In organizing the Indiana division which went to Louisville last August, and If the weather had not been so extremely hot. the run from Indianapolis to Louisville would have been pt decided success. Hassen is an enthusiastic league member, and has done a great deal for the organisation in the western part of the State and particularly Terre Haute, which has a larger league membership in proportion to its wheel-

men than any city in the State. George Stacy, secretary and treasurer.

Is a oractical bicycle man. He was with the Indiana Bicycle Company for tw’o yean, and is now with the Peoria Rubber Company. Mr. Stacy, while comparatively a young member of the league, ha* devoted a great deal of time to the organisation since be Joined and has done much di.ring the past year to build the league Up .n this city. He has been a rider since tha days of the old ordinary, and is thor-

November 28.—George Dixon, who for ten years has held undisputed the title cf featherweight champ'on of the world, went down to defeat last night before the Broadway Athletic Club at the hands of Frank Erne, with whom he fought a draw last December.

Long Ride* By AVomen.

An old-time cyclist, who has observed much during his wheeling career, says: “Long-distance rides by women should be discountenanced. A man can store up and reserve energy to be expended at moments when the human system is called upon for its second wind. This ts almost impossible with a woman, and, while it is argued that she can stand hardships with a fortitude equal to that of men, these cases are very few and far between. Women who ride can not be too careful of themselves. They are incapable of performances w’here the cyclometer registers above forty miles for a day’s outing, and when they get beyond their limit It is bound to tell against them. No one ever saw a female century rider with roses in her cheek or the blue

cast to her eye.”

Johnson Suspended. The suspension of John 8. Johnson, the record-breaker, and his manager, Thomas Eck, has been officially announced by Chairman Gideon, of the racing board. BASE-BALL. Perpnration* For Next Season Noxv Being Made By the Manager*. Manager Watkins has not begun to get his team together for next season, but he says that there will be a number of changes In the ranks. He will wait until after the drafting season closes before making any decided moves. Young Jackson Is the only new player signed as yet. Watkins is out on a scouting tour now, and may land a man before he returns. He thinks that he has succeeded in breaking h s "hoodoo" of last season, and with an ordinary amount of luck says he will have a winner in Indianapolis. Watkins has great faith in Wiley Davis, and will take that young man in hand early In the spring and get him into condition. There will be at least two additions to the pitch ng staff, another catcher apd an infielder signed before the season of ’97 opens. Since the season closed less has been heard from the St. Paul team than any in the league. Comlskey has not recovered from the fit of horrors which the club gave him on the second Eastern trip. The players have not recovered either, and they are all very sore over the treatment they received. There ia not a man on the team, with the possible exception of young Hollingsworth, but would like to get away from St. Paul, and Comiskey w.ll probably make some wholesale changes before another season. Denser is gone, and Tony Mullane says that his ball playing days are over. Scott Stratton is out w’ith the same announcement. Tim O'Rourke threatens to quit the diamond if he is forced to play in St. Paul another season. The crowd got after him along toward the close of the season, and he is sore on the town. Tom Loftus, of Columbus, wants a new team. I-ast season, holding only a oneyear franchise,;he did not feel like spending too much money on an experiment. He has started out well in landing Jack Crooks for second base. Bill Wilson, Pete Daniels, Bumpus Jones, Boswell and Butler will be held, but the others will be turned adrift.

The Grand Rapids deal has not yet gone through. The other members of the league are not quite sure where Messrs. Deadly and Glenalvin stand, and say that they will not sanction the trade until they ore assured that the new owners will pull with the big five. For that reason there has been nothing done toward building up the team. Deacou Ellis says that he has secured Pete Cassidy and Bill Hassamear, and that Tom Burns* will remain with the Gold Bugs. It is reported that Dave Foutz will manage the team. Bobby Wheeiock will play short and Bob Gilks is sure of his position in left Held. Grand Rapids needs three

pitchers, a couple of catchers, a second nance requir baseman and a third baseman. “Brownie'’ | right of the

The effort to estabi <ti a permanent or- | Hiestra in Indianapolis—a project which j has been much discussed at various times —has been revived in a tangible form, and i is receiving much encouragement. Clem- j f tis Vonnegut. Jr., and others, who ore in- ^ 1 teresreJ in the matter, sent out this j j week a circular ;o on ' thousand musically- j : inclined people cf 'Lhe ci:y. of which the |

' following is a copy:

"Dear Sir—The lovers of music in its I ( best form in Indianapolis have been for j many years desirous of securing for this | city a permanent orchestra, capable of j adequately and intelligently presenting the j works of the ^reat composers. The enor- i mous expense incident to the support of j such.an organization has heretofore pre- I vented a realization of this desire. The i subject has recently been revived among musicians, and! it is believed that a plan has been deviied which will permit the establishment of such an orchestra, or at least a nucleus of it, in the form of a thoroughly prpflcient concert orchestra, which, with proper • support and encouragement, may grow into'a far more pretentious organization.

There was a good deal of fiddling In the seventh,’ but near the close Erne planted a blow on the face that made Dixon’s head wabble.

FIRE COMPANY DRILLS.

Plan* of the New Chief — Seibert’s Case—Keep To the Right.

The Board of Public Safety disposed of a large amount o«f routine business yesterday afternoon. Recommendations, by Chief Barrett, of the fire department, for the purchase of two new hose wagons and some new ladder apparatus had to be held over till the beginning of the new year, owing to the lack of funds in the appropriations of 1896. Recommendations for several new fire hydrants in the central part of the cRy about Washington street, and for a fire cistern near the Cereallne works were referred to the Board of Public Safety. The chief reported that things were moving smoothly, that the companies were to be drilled’once a week, and were all to be trained in handling the water tower and other heavy apparatus, so that assistance could be given in case of

emergency.

Thomas Hanna, attorney, wrote a plea In behalf of Royal Seibert, an old soldier who bad been on the fire force sixteen years, when dismissed in the "shake-up” of the department accompanying the appointment of the new chief. He said that Seibert was fifty years old, had a family to support and that his home was mortgaged. No complaint had ever been made of Seibert in his long service, Hanna V rote, and there must be some mistake. The board asked Chief Barrett in regard to Seibert. The chief said that Seibert was too slow, and did not take hold of his work properly. The board filed away the letter and postponed action in-

definitely.

The board purchased fifty tojis of hay recently to be stored for winter use. 'The chief reported that some of it must have been damp when delivered, for It was beginning to mold. The board ordered that the contractor furnishing the hay must replace the part damaged or be ruled out

from making any more bids.

The city clerk sent a copy of the ordi-

Foreman will have a trial in the box. Manager Stallings will make few changes in the Detroit team. He will have hard work in supplying the places of Flfield, Knoll and Gillen, but aside from that his team will stand Just as it was last season. The Detroit team made an excellent showing in ’9d. and Stallings de, served great credit for his work. The team would have finished pretty near the top if he had not been laid up for six weeks in the middle of the season. ’President Killelea, of the Milwaukee club, has not done much in the way of budding up the Brewers for next season. One deal was made during the Chicago meeting. In which Milwaukee got the worst of it. Fred Hartman waa drafted by St. Louts, and then Killelea bought Bert Meyers from Von Dcr Ahe. Wallie Tayloi will be let go, and it is said that George Nicol will not w'ear a Milwaukee uniform next seaaon Milwaukee needs a second baseman, a shout-step, au outfielder and

a couple of pitchers.

Kansas City is negotiating with Boston for the release of young Slagle, who made such a fine record in the Eastern League last season.

Y. M. C. A. Entertainment.

Pauline Johnson, an Indian poet, and Owen A. Smily, an English musical humorist, will present a novel entertain-

stitution in Indianapolis. “The modesty and disinterestedness o their request make the venture practi cable. In former considerations of thi! matter we have always been confronted by one item of expense—salaries of musicians—which amounted to many thousands of dollars, but in this plan It is not Intended to pay regular salaries. It is not expected that such an orchestra can at once be classed among the great musical organizations, but we believe that in a reasonable time it can be made highly effective. Co-Operation Necessary. “To insure the success of such an undertaking it is necessary to secure the support and co-operation of musical people generally. It is proposed to organize an orchestral society to consist of active and honorary members, the active members to . be the musicians themselves, and the honorary members to be such persons who j will agree to take a certa'n number of j season tickets in lieu of stock for the , concerts to be given during the season. It is not the intention to ask for subscriptions to a guarantee fund, or even for stock by wihich the subscriber would In- j cur financial liability. It Is proposed to give sixteen concerts this season, twelve by the orchestra alone, or with the assistance of local singers, and four art'sts’ concerts, with one or more famous artists at each. It is also proposed to give to each subscriber three season tickets good for all these entertainments, in return for which he is to subscr be and pay $25 to the organization for the maintenance of the orchestra. This, it is believed, wiP give a fund sufficient, with the rece pts from other admissions at the concerts, to defray the actual expenses. “This is to be purely a public enterprise in the interests of musical culture and entertainment. If the scheme is consummated, it is the intention to place the management of affairs in the hands of a board of directors, to be selected by the subscribers, which board shall provide j such regulations as may seem proper. “W'hen a sufficient* nundber of subscriptions have been secured, the subscribers w 11 be called together to decide whether or not to proceed. “We invite your co-operation in this plan of securing a first-class orchestra for Indianapolis, which may in time be such as is necessary for our annual mus c festival. Your subscription is, of course, contingent upon enough names being secured to guarantee the financial success of the undertaking. Respectfully subm tied, “C. Vonnegut, , Jr., John Wocher, Ferd L. Mayer, Major [Taylor, Herman Lieber. S. J. Fletcher A. M. Fletcher, Charles Krauss, J. P. Frenzel, S. Rauh, George A.

Dickson.”

Many Favorable ReRponne*. Mr. Vonnegut said to-day that he hadreceived many favorable responses to the circular, and expected to receive enough more within a few days to justify a meet- j Ing of the subscribers for the purpose of j perfecting the organization, and making plans for future operations. It is pro- j posed that as a consideration for the $25 j subscribed, three season tickets shall be j given to each subscriber good for the concerts; sixteen in all to be given this winter. For at least four of these entertainments singers of reputation will be

engaged.

The organization of this orchestra lias been contemplated for a long time. There are many skilled musicians in the city, j most of them professionals, who are anxi- [ ous to take part in it. Since early last spring about forty of them Jiave been regularly rehearsing under Mr. Ernestinoff s direction. They will give their first concert, independent of the prospective organization indicated above, at English’s Opera House, next Tuesday evening, at which, in addition to the orchestral num

ment at English’s Opera House next Mon day evening. Miss Johnson's father was bers. there will be vocal selections by “ ‘ ■ ' ‘ Miss Elise Dorst. a talented singer of Cin-

cinnati who has been specially engaged for the entertainment. The members of the orchestra hope that the persons who are contemplating membership in the orchestral association will attend this concert so that they may judge of tho pro-

ficiency shown by the musicians.

Bonds to the amount of $480,000 were issued through the New York Central Trust Company on September 2, 1889, to bear interest at 5 per cent, and to run for forty years.

The disinterested atfection between the two lads and the protection afforded to the weak and sickly one by the other, whose physical and moral strength saves him from the fate to which his father s unreasoning passion would have condemned-him and carries him triumphant through all temptations, were really very touching. The only blemishes in the performance were occasional bits of sentiment—or, rather, sentimentality—so strained as to produce a smile in the audience; but these w-ti doubtless be eliminated. Indeed, they were so few that their momentary effect was obliterated by the general truthfulness and intensity of the performance as a whole. Lovers of true melodrama, pervaded with a vein of delicate and tender sentiment, will thoroughly enjoy ‘The Two Little Vagrants,’ and should insure

for it a ion^ and successful run.” “A* Y ou Tike It" at Daly’s.

New York Times.

“As You Like It” was the play selected by Mr. Daly to begin the eighteenth fall and winter term of Daly’s Theater Monday night. Ada Rehan, reappearing after an absence from the New York stage of eight months, was received with a cordial demonstration of public favor. Her portrayal of Rosalind has not changed in any essential attribute since she first took up that role in 1889, though, if it has grown somewhat more mature in physical attributes, it has probably gained a little also in Intellectual breadth and emotional force. In conception it Is the same, and at the present moment there is no other portrayal of Rosalind on the Englishspeaking stage to compare with it. Pictorially, Mr. Daly’s production of “As You Like It” is the finest ever seen hero. The woodland views are full of poetic feeling. The pictures of the court are rich in the suggestion of pomp and wealth, and fascinating to the eye. The incidental music—Shakespeare’s lyrics set by the English compeers who made the ballad form their own—is rendered excel-

lently.

Time has made many changes in the distribution of the roles. That estimable comedian, James Lew<s, is no more, and the character of Touchstone now fails to Herbert Gresham; Edwin Varrey succeeds Fisher and Wheathigh as Old Adam; the new Orlando is Charhs Richman, and the Celia is Maud Hoffman. George Clarke retains the role of the cynic, Jaques. A Benefit For Rose Coghlan. New York Sun. It has been known for some time past to the friends of Rose Coghlan that she was in serious financial embarrassments, and she is said now to be quite destitute of means after a long and worthy stage career. Her enterprises since she became a star have met with little success, although she has gathered about her notably fine companies and presented plays which were dignified and serious efforts. One of her best remembered achievements in this, direction was a revival of “Diplomacy” at the Star Theater four years ago, when she gathered about her for the revival of thi'* old play of Sardou a rarely capable collection of actors. Her subsequent productions were nearly as expensively and artistically undertaken, but they failed co gain popular support. The exact date On which the benefi: will take place has not yet been selected, and there have been no plans agreed upon. Irving’* Trlaniph. London Cable New York Sun. Sir Henry Irving won the greatest triumph of his career Thursday. He gave a special performance of “The Bells” In celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the first production of the play. Had the Lyceum Theater ten times Sts capacity it would have been filled, for never before was there such competition to secure admission to a dramatic performance. London and most English critics regard Irving's Matthias as his greatest part. Certainly to-night he surpassed himself. Even his warmest admirers scarcely believed him capable of rising to such bights of force and power. It was, In fact, a performance which will be memorable in dramatic history, and the gieat actor received such a tribute of admiration at its close as perhaps had never before been given by an English audi-

ence.

Ml** Xethersole’* New Piny. Boston Special New York Herald. “A, Daughter of France,” the new romantic drama by Joseph Hatton, was produced for the first time in America Monday night, at the Hollis-street Theater by Mise Olga Nethersole before a notable audience. The period of the play is 1792, at the time of the overthrow of Louis XVI. The plot is full of dramatic interest. Miss Nethersole’s success in the title role was a surprise to many who had seen her in less spirited roles. The production was superb. o MRS LOTTA GUFFIN DEAD. Formerly Connected With Northwestern Christian University. Word has been reee’ved here of the death, at Windsor Park, Chicago, yesterday, of Mrs. Lotta Guffin at the residence of her son-in-law W. F. Hall. Mrs. Guffin, whose maiden name was Hillis, was born fifty-two years ago in Decatur county, near Greensburg, Ind., and was left an orphan at an early age. She was educated at the Northwestern Christian University (now Butler College), and when quite young showed a remarkable aptitude in music and painting. For several years she was a teacher of music in the college, and later became a pupil under the well-known art-st, the late Jacob Cox, of this city. She showed great merit in her art. and excelled in portrait and arrimai painting. She was. the first woman artist in Indiana whose work at- | traded any great attent on elsewhere, and a number of her paintings exhibited in ! New York city were h.ghly praised by the elder Beard as showing distinctive or ginality. It was for the most part in the ! Rembrandt style in which she excelled, j She lived in New Y'ork for two or three ! years and teas making her way as an j artist when overtaken by ili-heaRh, and ) she returned to this city. After in some degree recovering her health, moved to Ch.cago, where she soon found a place among the artists of that c.ty. j For the last eight years she had not | been able to do much work, and the products of her brush were few and far j between, though all marked with great merit. Her disease was consumption. She leaves two daughters—Mrs. Frank Morris and Mrs, \V. F. Hall, both of [ whom live in Chicago. The funeral will ! take place et Windsor Park to-morrow. Pardut* Alumni Hauituet. The Purdue Alumni Association of Indianapolis gave its second annual dinner at the Denison last night. About thirty alumni were present. President J. H.

Sir John Sloane, who, in 1836, devised a number of pictures and statues, etc., to the Sloane Museum, indulged in a testamentary Joke. He left three sealed cupboards, to be opened by his executors in 1866, 1886 and 1896. The last one was opened on Monday, and,, much to the chagrin of the executors, who expected to make a valuable find, it was like the two previous cupboards—empty of all but valueless papers. The memorial to the late Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Benson is to take the form of a monument In Canterbury cathedral, and the completion of a portion of Truro cathedral. The principal autumn visit of royalty and the principal society function of the country-house season was the visit this week of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Blenheim. The program of the festivities of Blenheim was carried out with success. The sporting features were all that the Prince of Wales could desire, accustomed as he is to sample the finest shooting in Great Britain. To the crowds of re>porters and to the townsmen, generally, tho Duke of Marlborough made himself extremely unpopular. He refused to see reporters, but allowed his agent, who reflects the duke’s airs In a still more offensive way, to see two or three representatives of the press who were requested by the agent while they were In the park during the Prince of Wales’s visit, to wear high silk hats and frock coats. Some General Note*. There is much speculation among Americans in London, as to who will be the next ambassador to the Court of St. James. It is hoped that wfch a change of ambassadors the United States Government will find it advisable to change the embassy as well. The present quarters—the ground floor of a dingy flat In Vio’corla street—are net Imposing, and do not compare favorably with the splendid houses provided by their governments for the French, German, Austrian. Russian, Italian and even Spanish and Chinese amitassadors. The cycle show at the Agricultural Hall, Islington, has, during the patfi sight days, attracted great attention. The list oif exhibitors numbered over 350, over 3,500 machines being entered, and all tho English makers were represented. The list of American entries comprised about twenty different companies. Dr. Nansen, who is to deliver an addS-ess before the Royal Geographical Society, on February 8, will, on that occasion, receive the society’s special medal. This is an honor granted to but few. Among those who have been the recipients are Henry M. Stanley and Dr. Layard.

He was in close touch with Li Hung Chang while the latter w T as in England, and It is presumed that Mr. Morgan is going to prospect for gold. At the Theater*. The Drury Lane pantomime of this year, while closely following the traditions of Drury Lane, will differ in some respects from those formerly arranged by Sir Augustus Harris. It will be run more on the line of Wilson Barrett’s former productions at the Lyceum Theater, and will include more fun and low comedy than Sir Augustus thought fit to interpolate. The spectacles and tableaux vtill more closely follow the story, which subject this year is "Aladdin.” There will, however, be plenty of elaborate seats and brilliant crowds upon

the stage.

This year’s performance of the Elizabethan State Society will be “The Two Gentlemen of Y'erona,"which will be gtven at the Merchant Tailor Hall this afternoon. The event is interesting as the first performance ever given In one of the guild halls within the precincts of the

London. November 28.-Representa lives

of the Associated Press have been mak- 90 feet below th. screer

ing inquiries in various British and continental trade centers as to the effects upon trade already traceable to the result of the presidential election in the United States. These Inquiries have been made among the leading export houses at the American consulate* and of the larger forwarding agents. In England the increase in the number of invoices presented for authentication at all the consulates in the first week after the election of McKinley w f as more marked than during the second and third weeks. But the increase for the second and third w’eeks over the same period ii* October w’as at many consulates over 60 per cent. Among forwarding agents there is the general belief In good times abroad, many of them having sftice November made contracts for large amounts of cubic space. Exporters and large commission housese report greatly increased activity, which they expect to continue for some time. American stocks of dry goods, etc., having been allowed to fall verjMow. The winter buyers, due shortly, are expected to orderJieavlly, In Dublin the election of McKinley has been very cordially received by the exporters. There is everywhere noticeable a general expectation of improved trade during 1897. This feeling is based in part upon the assurance of a policy of continuity in monetary affairs and partly upon the Indications of the past few weeks of returning prosperity In the United States. One large exporter, however, qualifies this generally held opinion by saying: "International trade is dependent upon so many fluctuating quantities that no absolutely safe predict.ons can be laid down as to the future.” In Paris the Increase In the shipments to the United States has been marked and considerable since the election. The indications in trade circles are that the exports during the next few months will be heavier than for a long time past. This arises partly from the fact that many orders for merchandise had been given by American Importers, conditional upon the election of McKinley, and that a good many others had been withheld until the result was known. Another cause assigned for the actual and prospective increase In French trade with the United States is that there is a widespread anticipation in France of an Increase In the tariff, and it is thought wise to anticipate such an event by large shipments of French goods to , the United States while the existing schedules remain In force. * So far as can be Judged by the expressions of exporters doing business through the United States consulate at Paris, the satisfaction at McKinley’s election, which arises from his position on the currency question, is somewhat tempered by the fear that it will result In tariff changes, prejudicial to the interests of French manufacturers and producers. In Germany, more particularly in Frankfort. the defeat of the free silver coinage proposition has also been received with satisfaction. This is, perhaps, the more natural at Frankfort when it is remembered how largely American national railway and industrial securities are held by all classes. A leading exporter writes: “It Is generally recognised here that th* fiscal policy which shall most fully secure to American national finances permanence and stability and xender the American people prosperous will be the policy most conducive to a healthy and legiaimat© international commerce.’V At Dresden the exporters, while active, are a little more conservative in expression. They go only so far as to admit tha’. the fear of the adoption of a silver standard has only been temporarily dispelled. Even so, international trade has been already benefited. But, the uncertainty of a new tariff schedule, and the fear of ex’treme tariff legislation, combined with the, belief that the silver tattle will have to be fought over again, will cause merchants to move very cautiously along the lines of export and Import for some morAhs to come. The prevailing opinion among the exporters of Zurich and Geneva is one of extreme satisfaction at the result. -—

He Walked Fifty Miles On His Sistieth Birthday.

San Francieco, Novmber 28.—William Gretr Harrison, of this city, poet, playwright and business man, celebrated his sixtieth birthday by walking from here to San Jose, a distance of fifty miles. He started from this city punctually at >1 o’clock last night. He was accompanies by three young fellow-member* of the Bohemian Club. The first twenty milfes was made In exactly five hours. The last twelve milts was accomplished in four hours. At Mllikens Corner, the pedestrians took the wrong road, and walked eight mils* out of their way before they discovered their error.
