LONDON, July "a special from Tuuis tc

IN. Russian, the French Minister here,
has advised the government to prepare for q
pro'o0ged occupation Of Sfsx and GAbes
aud probably also the island OF Djerba
These points will dominate Keroun and
guard the frontier of Tripoli."
PARIS, July 9.-The state of affairs In
Algeria aud Tunis was considered at the
council of Ministers to-day. Additional
forces will De sent TO Tunis, and they will
occupy Sfax, Gabes and Djerba. The iron
clad squadron at Toulon will be held 10
readiness to leave for the Gulf of Gsbes at q
moments notice. The commander of the
iron-clad Rein Blanche telegraphs that the
gunb0at Chscal opened fire on the 7th inst.
upon battery Of eleven guns on the beach
at Sfax. The insurgents returned the fire,
but the Chacal was not struck. The iron
clads bombarded the town and fort on the
Sth inst. About fifteen thousand insurgents
occupy the environs OF Sfax. The natural
obstacles of the place render an approach
difficult. Reinforcements are awaited be-
fore landing is attempted.
PARIS, July I0.-The reports that Chief
Bon Anne na has resumed the offensive and
is marching toward Zell have not been con-
frmed. Telegraph communication on th e
Tunisian coast is again interrupted, and no
news has been received from Sax.
The commander Of the gunboat Refine
Blanche telegraphs here that a reconnois-
ance shows that It is only possible to effect
landing in front of Sfsx, aud that several
boats with cannon destroyed the enemies bat
terry on the beach. The other batteries were
discovered, however. A dispatch from
Trfpoli says: "The French iron clad La
GalIssamiere has passed Tripoh on her way
to Tunis. 1t is stated that the presence of
the iron. clad at TrfDoli has Drodnced a pood
effect, and has checked the excitement.

there, which is regarded as proof OF the

Stocks In London

LONDON, July 9.-The Economist, of this
week, says: "The rate of discount for bank
bills, sixty days to three months, is Is per
cent, and for trade bills, sixty days to three
months, q to ~ per cent. On the Stock
Exchange there was a marked tendency
throughout the week to close accounts.
Tie maintenance OF the official minimum at
the Bank OF England prevented the cheap
NESS Of money from having much
effect. The collapse in Turkish and
Mexican Governments, British RAILWAYS
and Grand Trunk Railway issues. was
mainly attributed to this reduction OF out
standing operations, but the heavy fall in
Indian gold mines is due to more tangible
cause, and the eupineness Of management,
which for four weeks has allowed a tele-
gram to go uneorrected, on which prices In
Sc me cases rose so per cent, cannot be
too severely condemned. IL may be taken
for granted that for the time being the in
PRODUCTION of new Indian gold
ventures has been stopped. The
II fux of new undertakings
continues with little abatement. The prin-
cipal applicaions this week are Queensland
per cent. bonds, amounting to 81 ,053, 900,
and st. Louis, Texas and Gulf of Mexico

amounting to 9525, 600. It is probable that
there will be some relapse-in the small COM
panies soon. Subscriptions are not coming

gates.

LONDON, July 9-The Paris correspond
ent Of the Times says: "At yesterday Is
sitting of the Monetary Conference Mr..
Evarts, delegate for the United States, read
the following declaration of the French aud
American delegates in the name of their re-
spective governments: The depreciation
and great fluctuations in the value of silver
relatively to gold, which of late years have
shown themselves, and which continue to
exist, have been and are injurious to
commerce and general prosperity, and the
fixed relation OF value between
silver and gold, would produce the
most important benefits to the commerce Of
the world. A convention entered into by
this important group of States, by which
they should agree to open their mints to the
free and unlimited coinage of silver and
gold at fixed proportion OF weight be-
tween the gold and silver contained in the
monetary unit Of each metal, and with full
legal tender faculty as to the money thus
issued, would cause and maintain stability
Ia the relative value of the two metals
suitable TO the interests and requirements
OF the commerce Of the world.
"Any ratio now or of late in use by any
commercial nation, IL adopted by such an
important group OF States, could be main
tanned, hut the adoption of q ratio of 1511
OF silver to of gold would accomplish the
principal object with less disturbance in
the monetary systems to be affected by it
than other rates. Without considering the
effect which might be produced towards
the desired object by lesser combination
of States, a combination which should in
clude England, France, Germany and the
United States, with the concurrence Of
other States, both In Europe aud on the
American continent, would be adequate to
produce and maintain throughout the COM
mercial world the relations between the two
metals that such a combination should
adopt.n

Assault with Intent to Kill.



The criminal statutes of the District
of Columbia provide that "every person
convicted of manslaughter, or of any
assault with intent to kill, shall be sen.
fenced to suffer imprisonment and labor
for the first otfense for period of not
less than two nor more than eight
years" There is a manifest incon
sistency in law that prescribes death
for murder and an imprisonment of not
more than eight years for an
assault with intent TO commit murder.
The proper administration of Justice is
impossible under such a statute. The
criminal motive is the same in both
cases, whether the homicide is complete
or from any cause falls short of consum-
nation; and if the object OF the law is to
protect society from those who have
murder in their hearts, its object is not
attained when it makes so light an
ofense of what is morally as culpable
as the capital crime. The measure
Of punishment should be made com
mensurate with the guilty purposes of
the criminal; not simply with the
magnitude of the actual act accomplish
ed. As the law now stands the convict
ed murderer may be hung. Tae same
man, had his shots failed to take fatal
effect aud his intention thus been frus.
trated, might escape with no greater
penalty than the horse thief, the burglar
or incendlary, and with less than the
couuterfeiter or perjurer.
The Revised Statutes of the District
evidently need revision.

HOW THEY STOPLVING IN CHINA
ing Chains and Punishment.

They don't stand on ceremony in the
Celestial Empire. When the govern
ment has anything to say it says it, as
witness the following proclamation of
En-, Chung and Wen, the chief military
authorities at Pekin, which is on file in
our State Department:
this:
"A communication has been received
from the Teungli Yamen reciting as
lo.l)ws: China and foreign nations
nave always been on terms of peace
since commercial relations were estab-
llsbed long ago. The government has
the same considerate regard for strangers
as for her own subjects, and treats all
alike with the same rule of con-
duct. Now, it has recently come to
our ears that many extraordinary
stories are going the rounds in the
streets and by lanes. There must be
some discontented, meddlesome fellows
who invent stories among themselves,
and go about spreading them in such a
way that it is really to be apprehended
that falsehood upon falsehood will TO-
ment some real trouble. We have to
request that strict proclamation will be
issued to put stop to this, so that virtu-
GUS, law abiding people may not be de-
ceived by these stories, etc.
Having received the above, it is right
that we should issue a public notifica-
tion. Wherefore, this proclamation.
We expect you. officers and soldiers of
the local guard stations, to take careful
note that if there be lawless, discon-
tented vagabonds and loafers, as afore-
said, who fabricate stories with a
view to creating a disturbance. you
are to arrest them on the spot
and send them in chains to this
office to be severely punished. On no &C
count will any indulgence be shown.
And you soldiers and people, we hereby
admonish you, on the issuance of this
proclamation, to go about your respec-
tive duties and not give ear TO false
stories, whereby you may involve your
selves in trouble. Let all concerned
tremble and obey this special proclama-
tion. KUANG HUI,
9th year, 4th month, 1st day"
