fell, however, and greatly favored spling
sown crops. In London the supply of
wheat amounted 20 only 1,643 quarters
during the week, and these sold quietly
at unchanged prices. The tone of the
trade has not been Influenced on account of
the smallness of business. At few pro-

ported Adjusted.

LONDON, July 11.-A dispatch from
Goletta says: "The French steamer which
took 500 Tunisian troops to sfax has re-
turned them here without attempting TO
land, because 1t was feared they would re-
fuse to fight the insurgents. The Arab
portion of Sfax and the ports have been de
s.royed by shells"
PARIS, July IL La Justice, which op-
posed the Tunisian expedition, now protests
against the Tripolitan one, but admits that
France, having in violation of her promises
taken Tunis. is logically bound to take
Tripoli and Egypt.
In consequence of the Porte's explana-
tion in regard to Tripoli, the differences
between France and Turkey have been
adjusted. The Porte has given renewed
assurances that in sending troops to Tripoli
it's sole object was the maintenance of
order. The insurection continues to be
confined to the Sfax district. The other
parts of Tunis are quiet.
a dispatch to the Temps from Tunis states
that there are Is, ,000 insurgent around Sfax.
The insurgents build up in the night what
the French destroy in the day.

THE WOUNDED PRESIDENTIAL member
OF the Washington Hebrew Congregation

statement: "The following incident
occurred in the Eighth Street Synagogue
last Saturday: The President of our
congregation was suddenly called out.
Expecting to hear some unfavorable
news of his wife's illness. he at once
left, but returned in a few minutes,
excited, and his face pale as death.
Naturally every one in the synagogue
became alarmed, especially so when
he addressed our reader. informing
him of the dreadful calamity which had
then happened Our reader was in the
act of reciting the usual prayer always
offered at the end of our services in be-
half of the President of the United
States, and the district officers. The
whole congregation then arose. excited,
and, most all with tears in their eyes,
offered a fervent prayer in behalf of the
wounded President As this happened
almost Immediately after the shooting.
no doubt this prayer by the Washington
Hebrew Congregation was the first Off
cial prayer offered Tor the President and
his bereaved family. - Washington
