New York Money Market.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-The gold market
closed weak at 10S56109. The stock brok-
ers were large borrowers of gold to-day and
sold the same to obtain currency to carry
their stocks. Governments, dull and steady.
Stocks opened dull, on call were strong,
with Lake Shore and Western Union as
features. Before brokers had made up their
bank account the market sold off slightly,
but subsequently advanced ! to !; greater
improvement in Pacific Mail, Wabash, Lake
Shore and Erie; there was little more acti-
witty in the above mentioned stock but the
list was dull. A small brokers' firm on the
bear side Of the Pacific Mail failed this
evening. The feature of interest in Wall
street to-day was in the money market
which has been more stringent than any
day this month. Loans were made as high
as I per day on Governments and scarce at
that price. Again currency is flowing to the
interior freely, in part for insurance settle
ments in the Chicago. Express companies
have made some heavy engagements for the
outflow Of currency this week and in some
quarters these engagements are estimated at
S5,000,000. State bonds dull and heavy. e

The question now was, whether upon
principles of justice, they were not enti-
tied to be heard here. After some infor>
NAL remarks as to the rights of Sumner to
proceed when no question was before tho
Senate, that Senator was about 10 continue,
when Morton inquired whether, if it was in
order for Sumner to to make a speech at
this time against San Domingo, a reply
would be in order. If so, he was in favor
oflelting that gentleman go on.
The President said that if question of
order was raised he should have to decide
against Summers right to proceed. as he
had already decided in the case of the

EBoNY FROM SEAwEED.-The manufac-
ture of artificial ebony from seaweed prom.
ises to become an important industry in
some of the smaller sea coast cities south
of here. The process consists in first
treating the plants for two hours with di-
lutte sulphuric acid, then drying and grind
ing them up. 10 sixty parts of this pro-
duct, five parts of liquid glue, five parts of
gutta- -percha, and two and half parts of
India rubber are to be added, the latter
being first dissolved in naphtha. After
wards ten parts of coal tar, five parts of
pulverized sulphur, and five parts pulver-
lied rosin are added and the whole heated
to about 800 degrees Fahrenheit. When
cool a mass is obtained which, in color,
hardness and capacity for receiving polish,
resembles ebony, and is much cheaper.
This material is now actually made on a
large scale, and used for nearly all the
purposes to which genuine ebony can be
applied.-S. F. Com. Herald.

POOR FRANCE

The European telegraph dispatches are
filled with accounts of another revolution
in Paris. Paris, the center of the beauti-
full worll of fashion and of mirth, the hub
from which Iadiated all that was extrava-
gait and enjoyable in the gay circles of
fortune $ hvorites, las become a scene Of
famine, of crime, of civil strife and carnage.
Those broad, smooth payements upon
which gaudy professions marched hun
dred men abreast, are slippery with human
gore, and the nosirils Of the people are
filled with the stencil of the warm, wet
blood Of innocent victims that pools in the
streets ''No persons life is safe in Paris. :"
Is this civilization Was not the terrible
ordeal Of blood through which Paris
y sse1 in 1892 and '93 a lesson severe
enough to teach her people moderation ?
1t seems not.
1t appears that portion of the French
70 .ulace has rebelled against Theirs
government aud taken all the principal
places in the city. All the members Of
Theirs government have gone to Yer
sailleS. The rebels have shot Generals
Clement Thomas, Lecompte and Venoy,
and hold Chanzy and other officers prison
ers. All the notabilities are flying from
Paris. Bismarck has written to Favre
that should there be any more proceedings
in violation of the preliminaries of peace.
the fire of the forts will be turned on the
city. b II isIreported that Menotti Garibal-
di is IN command of the insurgents. Ma
poleon has gone to Dover. An immense
crowd cheered him-including French
refugses. Latest advices state that re-
action in favor of the Empire is gaining
ground. -

BRITISH COLUMBIA.
TrRoM THE VICTORIA srANDARD.l

On Saturday morning, we were ms
formed of shooting affray that occurred
on San Juan Island on Tuesday last 1t
appears that six soldiers belonging TO the
American garrison were missed from
camp. Col. Bird and a detachment of
soldiers were sent in pursuit Of the de-
serters. The detachment first proceeded
to the Indian raucheria at McCoy's Bay,
where they saw a canoe with the men on
board and three Indians, making towards
the Vancouver Island shore. The weather
became very rough and they were com
PEELED to put back. When Col. Bird saw
that they were forced to return. he and
his men secreted themselves in the bush,
until the runaways had reached the shore,
when pursuit was made. The deserters
hid in the Indian camp, aud the 3 Indians
that were in the canoe put off again as
som as they saw COL Bird and his men.
They were ordered to4eturn, which they
refused to do, and an order was given, 10
fire upon them. Several shots were dis
charged, three of which took effect, killing
one. Indian instantly, and wounding the
other two severely. The two wounded
men managed TO paddle their own ca
noe :" TO this place, which they reached
few days ago. The two wounded men,
we are told, are now lying in a precarious
condition at the Songish rancheiia. The
deserterS, finding that it was useless for
them to hide longer, and no chance being
left to escape, gave themselves up and
were taken to the camp, where they will
undergo court martial.
The question as regards the Alabama
claims involves the recompense of the
property destroyed by the Alabama and
the other cruisers that were sent out.
