tempting to pass check on the First Ma
tional bank for SO, purporting to be signed
by E. W. Hulse s. Co., on William Harsh, a
-four and feed dealer, 297 West Lake street.
Harsh called the officer in and said he thought
there was something wrong about
the man, and when Officer Bar
Der examined the check he found that
the Endorsement of Frank Wheeler on the
back was in the same writing as the signature
of E. w. Hulse & Co. Clark at first denied
this, but afterward acknowledged it,
and said he had done it to get locked up. AS
it was suspected that Clark was the man who
had been passing checks for small amounts
on different storekeepers in the city, he was
held at the station and not booked till this
morning. In the meantime inquiries
were made and forged checks were found
to have been passed on different firms.
This morning he was before Justice White
and pleaded guilty in ten cases. At first he
pleaded mot guilty" but when Officer Barber
produced the checks, he changed his mind
and pleaded guilty. not only to the forgery,
but also to obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. Justice White held him in $1,000 to
the criminal court OF total of $4,000 there
being twenty charges. Clark is a young man
about five feet five inches tall, dark COM
plexion, about 35 years of age, not well
dressed, and seemed to take the matter
pretty coolly.

RUMORED RESERVATIONS.
A Remarkably Lively Scene in the
French Chamber of Deputies.
Martial Law Suggested for Ireland--
German Americans at SchlesWig.
French Deputies Excited,

PARIS, Dec. 24.-The chamber of deputies
has adopted the Tonquin credit by vote of
274 to 270. 1t is rumored that owing to the
closeness of the vote the cabinet has resigned.
Before the vote was taken Gen. CampenOn,
minister of war, spoke in opposition to the
proposed evacuation of Tonquin. He also
advocates the formation of a colonial army.
NJ. Clemenceau demanded the revis-
ion of the Tientsin treaty and re-
preached M. Ferry with imploring the support
of Prince Bismarck. An uproar ensued, dur
ing which NJ. Ferry, amid Kisses and cheers,
made futile attempt to reply to NJ. Clemen-
ceau. The latter, continuing his speech, APP
pealed to Frenchmen to decide whether it
was not the paramount duty of the govern
ment to tighten taxation. The operations in
Tonquin he said had prevented reforms at
home and had endangered the very existence
of the republic. NJ De Freycinet, minister
of foreifn affairs, declared that it was impos-
sIble for France to evacuate TOnquin.
I'VE are masters in Tonquin.'' he contin-
ued, land the country will be entirely paci-
fed by April. The protectorate over Ton
qu1n will be equally as successful as the pro-
tectorate over Tunis. The adoption of the
Tonquin credit will have a wider bearing
than the occupation of Tonquin, as it will
decide the question whether or not France
shall have a foreign policy. Europe is
awaiting the ISSUE
NJ. DE FREYCINETs SPEECH
was loudly cheered. NJ. Ferry, referring to
NJ. Clemenceau's statement that the EXPIRE
mier had implored Bismarck's aid, defied NJ.
Clemenceau to prove this charge. The latter
thereupon read a dispatch from Baron De
Correct, French ambassador to Germany, adj
dressed to NJ Ferry, stating that Prince Bis
marck had offered to mediate between France
and China, and II. FerryS reply to the
Baron, in which he said that
he valued most highly the offer of the German
chancellor. The reading of these dispatches
caused the greatest excitement. NJ. Ferry
was hooted, and tried to rush out of the tri-
bune, but his friends prevented him from do
ing So The result of the division of the Ton
gum credit question was the occasion of a
tremendous uproar. Volleys of questions
were addressed to the chair, but were I'M
answered. The chamber then adjourned
until the goth inst.
The vote on the Tonquin credit is virtually
defeat of the government, twenty -four Con-
servatives who would have opposed the credit
having been deprived of their seats. A cab-
net council has been summoned for to-mor-
row. The ministers will perhaps retain their
portfolios until after the meeting of the con-
gress to elect president of the republic.

From printed official reports and informa-
ton obtained at the Office Of Major Allen, the
following account is derived of works of in
terest to the people Of Minnesota:
Harbor of Duluth-This important shipping
port has now depth enough tc accommodate
vessels drawing siXte en- feet of water. The
improvement has been in progress for num-
Der of years and has resulted in transforming
a shoal bay into one Of the best harbors on
the great lake. The harbor needs charging
Needed, to complete this Improvement under
the present plan, about $25G,000. During
the season of 1885 the work of improvement
consisted principally in dredging.
Harbor of Superior, Wis.-ThiS harbor now
admits vessels of sixteen feet draught, but
the channels need widening. To complete
this improvement under the present plan will
require about 100000. During the summer
of 1885 the work of improvement consisted
principally in dredging.
The government erected lighthouse at
Grand Marais during the past season.
The general depth estimated for the lake
harbors is sixteen feet. When the proposed
Improvements at the Sault Ste. Marie and its
approaches dredging and proposed new lock
to afford depth of twenty feet are begun, it
will be necessary to provide twenty feet Of
water for the harbOrs Of Duluth and Superior.
Chippewa River, Wisconsin.-The improve
ment has consisted in narrowing the low
water channel, where broad and shoal, into
one of practicable width and depth. The
most important work has been done at the
mouth of the river, where two long, parallel
jetties have transformed the formerly diff
cult crossing into one both easy and SAFE
Required, to complete this Improvement, in
Guiding protection of the Yellow Banks,
$4,000. A small amount of work only was
done upon this river during the past season.
Red River of the North, Minnesotasand Da-
kota-This improvement was fairly begun in
1879. Channels have been cut through the
bars by dredging machines for eighty miles
below Moorhead and Fargo, and for forty
miles below Grand Forks, with benefit to
steamboat and barge navigation, but much
remains to be done. Required to complete the
Improvement from Breckenridge TO Pembina,
5000. During the summer and fall Of 1885
a small amount of dredging was accomplished
on the Turtle river bars.
Falls of st. Anthony, Minnesota-Some re-
pairs were made last winter to the apron and
east wing. No work performed since then.
Funds exhausted.
St. Croix River, Below Taylor's Falls,
Minnesota and WISCONSIN. The improvement
of this stream was begun in 1878, under q
small appropriation by congress. The con-
dition of the channels has been greatly
ameliorated since that time. The value Of
the improvement is especially noticeable at
Hudson and Catfish bars, below Saltwater,

Probably Suicide.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-Charles Hau, a young
wood carver, living at 357 Hurlburt street.
was found lying on the sidewalk last night at
Menomonee and Hurlburt streets with q bull
let hole in his head. A patrol wagon con-
veyed him home but before reaching the
house the wounded man died. There is a
great deal of mystery concerning the manner
in which Han was shot. Several companions
who had been with him during the evening
were questioned closely by the
police. One of them, A. J. Refer
was locked up at the Western avenue
station on suspicion of knowing more about
the affair than he would admit. Capt Setback
said tonight that he had investigated the
case. and concluded that it was case of sui
eide. The reason assigned is that Hap was
unfortunate in love affair, and had shot
himself while respondent. A brother-in-law
of the deceased said tonight: ''This will be a
bitter Christmas for us. He is the third one
of our family who has died this week. My
grandmother died Monday, my sister-in-law's
child is dead at home, and now Charley is
gone.''

Beer VS.. Whisky.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-An evening paper
says that on account of a refusal on the part
of the brewers of this state to oppose a bill
pending in the state legislature making
whisky license $1,000, and beer $3.50, war is
about to be declared by the liquor men against
beer; that they threaten to refuse to sell
malt liquors in whisky saloons and to call to
their aid the distillery interests not only in
this state, but elsewhere in the country. The
paper predicts a very fierce war between
these two branches of the liquor interest, and
of vast proportions. 1t states that numerous
attempts have been made to compromise their
differences, but without success and that a
final meeting. concerning the outcome of
which little hope is entertained, will be held

W. Fullam has been absent from his home

Der dealer. 1t is said he has gone to

great excitement in the little town over the
developments. Fullam had long been
one of the most prominent business
men in the western part of Massachusetts,
and everybody placed the most implicit conf
dence in his business integrity and reputation
for Christian conduct. If the story now cir
culating proves true in all its details, it will
be severe blow to many business men in

ATLANTA. Ca, Dec. 24.-This morning in
the superior court Judge Marshall j. Clarke
decided a contest growing out of the recent
prohibition election, and held that he could
not take action on the bill, which is not yet
law, because the result of the election has
not been declared. He held, also, that he
could not interfere with an election. He
therefore dissolved the injunction, and the
ordinary, who was in the courtroom, imme-
diately declared the result to be 22s for pro-
hibition. The case will be appealed, and
other litigation is in prospect.
