Last night about half past ten O'Clock ofcer John
smedick OF the Twenty first precinct while on his
post in First avenue, near the corner OF Thirty
iecond street, was shot and almost Instantly Killed
by John Real. The circumstances attend
ing this assassination are without pafahel
In che records Of city crime for diabolicaa
purpose and GOODNESS and determination In carrying
1t out Smedck was shot in two places-in the
right bsast and the left side OF the head, either
wound being probably Sufficient to have caused
death-ana appears not to have spoken after ne was
shot; at all events no one was with him to have
heard him n he did, Oficer Mee OF the same pre-
cinct being on post in East Thirty street,
about seventySve feet distant from where the ARRAY
occurred. having heard the shots, was proceeding
in their direction when he met Real running towards
him, pistol In hal1d who, perceivtng Mees inten-
ton to stop him, cried out. "Get out of the
way, you son Of b-h, or I'll shoot you," firing at
the same time; then evading the pass Nee made to
catch hold OF him he dashed or up the street, the
officer who had not BEEN struck after him in close
nn to
thence up Second avenue to Tairtyfourth street,
where he was oy sa y TIE 0ser at whom he
grsPpled ''v With him. a'' shocked him ms down OWN
ton house. In the meantime the body
OF the murdered man had been brought in life being
eAIlnCt DeIOTe even Cne DOQy was removed
All the indications that Real lay in wait for his
victim and shot him with preconceived, deliberate
intent. He had on two previous occasions shot at
Smedick the last one being July l. when he fired at
MIN three times The cause assigned for this Is
revenge upon the oficer for having arrested him two
or three times on charge OF intoxicaton. He does
not deny the present shooting and gives his
son for so acting that upon the last occasion when
Smedick had him to court he showed him after he
took him down stairs.

The United States Tariff French Goods

The United states Tariff on French Goods-
Retaliation DisavOwed.
PARIS July 90, 1885,
In the Corps Legslatif yesterday, while a revenue
bill was under consideration, proposition was
made, by way Of amendment to the bill, to restore
the duties which were formerly imposed ON all
American rosinous products imported into France.
The proposition gave rise TO lively debate. 1t
was supported the ground that the restoration Of
the duties on imports from America was justified by
the excessively nigh tariff now imposed by the United
States on articles Of French production.
The measure, however, was strongly opposed by
the free trade members OF the Chamber.
M. ozenne, member OF the Council OF State and
Director OF Foreign Commerce, explained the views
OF the government He said they had closely watched
the changes which had been made rom time to time
in the tariff laws Of the United states, and they
greatly lamented that such heavy burdens had been
imposed upon French productions; but they were
not disposed to adopt system OF retaliation, which
could only result in injury TO the commercial In.
terests OF both countries.
After further debate the amendment was rejected.
