The French Education Bill.
PARIS, March 20.-Many moderate re-
publican papers, including the Constitution,
oppose the higher education bill. The semi
official organ at Rome, the VOce Della Verita,
denounces the bill. 1t says the republic has
envy of the dearest feelings of a great ma
jority of Frenchmen. 1t has therefore no
longer any reason for existing.
Jules Ferry's education bill states that ac-
riding to existing laws foreigners are not
allowed to teach in France, and declares the
same exclusion should apply to any order es-
sentially foreign by the character OF its doc
trine3 or the nature and aims of its statutes.

melta-
LONDON, March 20 Mr.. Schmidt, 6nan-
cial director of East R9umelia, last week
while on tour of inspection, was mobbed at
Haskoi and Jamboli, the troops being called
out to protect him on his arrival. At the
confines of Slevna he was met by several
thousand people, who threatened bis life and
forced him to return to Jamboli. The Rus
sian commander there said he could not
guarantee his safety, as the troops were not
authorized to use their arms against the peo-
pie. Schmidt returned to Philippopolis,
whereupon General Stolyplne, governor of
Roumelia, with Schmidt and one of the
French members of the commission, went to
Slevna last Sunday, and on hostile demon
STATIONS against Schmidt being renewed,
the troops were summoned, General Stoly-
pine and his staff led them, dispersed the
crowd, arresting the ringleaders with their
own hands. The Cossacks piled their Whips
vigorously among the rioters, and even the
Bulgarian militia are said to have behaved
irreproachably, beating back the crowd with
the butts of their muskets.

Canad an Tariff Discussed Ln British
Parliament.
LONDON, March Il In the h Iuse of COM
mons this evening john Bright submitted a
question as to whether it ia proposed to rep
resent to Canada the impolicy of war on
the tariffs between the different portions of
the empire, and whether 1t is true that init
nations to the Marquis of Lorne, governor
general of Canada, for the first time omitted
the clause requiring that bills imposing diff
ferent duties should be received for royal APP
prevail.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, colonial secreta-
ry, replying to Bright, said that only tele-
graphic summary of the new Canada tariff
had been received, and therefore he was IN
able to judge of the effect, but. he had tele-
graphed that the government regrets the pro-
posed increase in duties. He added that the
right of the government In regard to the
sanction of the new tariff was not affected by
the instructions to Lord Lorne.

eiOrtschakon's Answer to Lord Sails
bury.
LONDON, March 20.-Prince Gortschakoff,
in dispatch dated February 7th, in answer
to Lord Salsbury's dispatch of January Goth,
pressing the execution of the treaty of Berlin
by Russia, declines to enter upon useless
discussion He holds that Lord Salisbury's
dispatch contains nothing which conflicts in
principle with the Russian view of the exc
cution of Berlin, but shows that the British
government has been sometimes mistaken in
regard to the intentions of Russia and her
agents. The latter, he says, must support,
within the limits of the treaty of Berlin, the
interests of the population for whose defense
Russia made war. A general understanding
would be greatly facilitated if those popula-
lions acquired the conviction that their inter
ests wou d be effectually defended by Europe
within the same limits when Russian troops
we've no longer there to protect them. All
that the British government and its agents
can do to induce in them confidence, modera-
ton and resignation, and thus effect an equit-
able and pacific execution Of the treaty, will
meet with Russian cooperation:
