Exciting Scene in a Menagerie.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 2S.-An exciting scene oc-
Cured to-day in rnenagerie. Mme Soulet. a
lion tanner, entered the cage of the lion Brutus in
the absence of the keeper, accompanied by q
man named. Grenier. No sooner had they en-
tered than the lion sprang savagely upon
Grener. Madame Soulet ran to his assistance,
when the brute turned upon her,
and in the struggle that followed
her face was terribly lacerated. An
attendant courageously seized the lion, affording
the woman's husband an opportunity to save
her. A life and death struggle ensued between
the lion aud the attendant until another man
attacked the brute with pitchfork and drove
him off. The FIVE persons attacked are all badly
injured.

The summoning of Dillon.

Boston, Nov. 28-E A. Perry cables from
London to the Herald that the London papers
treat the Dillon summons variously, according
to their politics. The Times says there is un-
doubtedly grave doubt as to the efficiency of
the governments course, and it is much more
moderate in discussing the topic than some Con-
servatiye journals. The News (Liberal) plain
ly condemns the Nationalist plan of campaign,
but doubts the advisability of prosecuting Dill.
Ion. The Economist, paper which wields great
influence among business men, and is a stanch
supporter OF Lord Hartington's policy,
accepts the action of the govern
ment as inevitable though regrettable.
rection in passive form, which, if permitted to
obtain local foothold, will spread till it be-
comes general and results in the annihilation of
the landlords property.
No paper expresses belief in the rumor that
the government will resort to military force to
put down the anti-rent agitation The govern
ment could not take such step without calling
Parliament together, though, of course. it could
meet sudden emergency with instant repres
sion and take the risk of obtaining indemnity
from Parliament There is, however, no evi-
dence, thus far, that such plan is contemplated.
The Cabinet, all along has been divided on
the Irish rent question Lord Randolph
Churchill, Mr.. Henry Matthews and Sir Michael
Hicks Beach have hoped to avert collision by
using official pressure to bring about amicable
arrangements between landlords and tenants
Lord Iddesleigh, Lord Ashbourne, Lord George
Hamilton and Mr.. Smith have predicted the
failure of this policy. Lord Salisbury at first
leaned to Lord Randolph Churchill's view, but
of late has favored more resolute action. Nearly
every Nationalist member of Parliament will
take the stump the coming week, and if the
government intends following up the course it
has begun with Dillon, its officials will have
plenty of work in issuing and serving SUM-
monses in all parts of Ireland.

THE TELEPHONE LITIGATION.
Ex- Senator Mcdonald Thinks the Bell COM
pany Has Sure Thing.


Washington Special.
Elk Senator Joseph +. Mcdonald, of Indiana,
who is of the counsel for the Bell company
statement of the outlook for that company. He
says however the proceedings be expedited and
whatever the courts do a final judgment by the
Supreme Court on the matter cannot be reached
in less than seven years from the present, while
the patent will expire in six years, and no iudg-
ment, whether for or against the patent, could be
made retroactive. "It has been decided" said
Mr.. Mcdonald ''by the United States District
Court, of Columbus. o., that that court has
no jurisdiction, because the Bell company is not
located in that State and is not doing busi-
ness there. 1t is a purely local company.
and does business only in Massachusetts, where
its Office is, although licensees operated
its inventions In every State in the
Union. 1t follows, from the decision Of the
court at Columbus, that the company can be
proceeded against only in Massachusetts. WE'LL
suppose suit is commenced Immediately in
Massachusetts, or suppose, If you can, after the
decision in Ohio that suit is commenced in any
other State matter when this suit is COM
menced il will require at least two years to take
all the testimony in the case. and the court can
not exclude the testimony Ii the question of
jurisdiction is fought, and other preliminary
questions, it will lengthen the litigaton but cut
ting 1t down to the very shortest space, Jndg-
ment cannot be reached in the Circuit Court
sooner than two years. Then, however that
judgment may be, there will be an appeal to the
Supreme Court Of the United States. and the
case cannot possibly be called up in that court
within three years after the appeal is taken.
There are certain government suit which have
right of way in the Supreme Court and which
may be called up before their regular turn on the
docket, but this case does not belong to that
class. Then, after it is called up. the trial in the
Supreme Court will occupy fully much time
as the trial in the court below"

Riot of street-Car strikers.

TORONTO (Ont.), March 12th-The street
railway troubles assumed serious aspect
to-day According to the instructions of
the President of the company, the running
of the cars was left in the hands of the City
Commissioner. Late this morning a car
manned with force of police left the
stables and started out over the Front
street road. A mob Immediately appeared
and adopted obstructive tactics. and before
they bad proceeded very many blocks the
car was completely blockaded by coal carts,
express wagons, etc. The police were
powerless to attempt to get the car through
The abandoned car was then turned toward
the stables, where the mob attacked it and
completely wrecked it. The driver and
conductor were seized BY the rioters and
severely injured before being rescued by
the police. A squad of mounted police
here came upon the scene and charged the
mob, using their batons freely. Several of
the mob were struck by stones and injured,
while a policeman was knocked off his
horse, but was not seriously hurt. Two
arrests were made, and, in spite of efforts
that were made to rescue them, the prison
ers were taken to the station. Soon after
another car was started. The police were
reinforced, and strong detachments were
located along the route. The mob repeat
ediy charged and attempted to disable the
car, but the police succeeded in getting the
car through. Batons were again freely
used, and with good effect. The leaders of
the mob were put under arrest. At the
present time but few cars are running.
Both in.Queen and Yonge streets each car
is manned by half dozen policemen. The
Police Magistrate has instructed the Chief
of Police to call out the militia if necessary,
but the Chief thinks the force he has at his
command at present is sufficient to enforce
the laws

A Proposition to Establish a College of
Sericu;ture at Sacramento.
The following letter. received by the Sac
ramento Board Of Trade, is self-explan-
atory:
SAN FRANcIsco. March IL, 1886.
TO the President and Members of the Board
Of Trade Of the City Of Sacramento The
chief object of my exhibit at the last State
Fair was to convince Sacramento once
more that her future destinies depend
largely on the successful issue of seri-
culture. My hopes of organizing an asso-
citation for establishing a sericuitural col
lege in your city has 50 far, not been real
lied. Though il is now thirty one years since
the late Louis Provost, of San Jose, began
to demonstrate that silk-culture is possible
within our State, and only twenty years
that Sacramento has taken hold of it, vet
still claim that Sacramento is the cradle of
sericulture in California. That city and its
surroundings in the years 1S6S-9-70, had
really accomplished great wonders in that
particular branch of industry. Especially
is the success achieved in Davisyille in
1S69-70 remarkable in the history of seri-
culture in California.
If the result of those years would have
been to the contrary, should have given
up silk culture long ago. but as it was,
was forced to uphold its dignity until a
time would arrive when people would
listen with more patience in behalf OF it
and to what was right
| now propose to you, the Board of Trade
OF Sacramento, to organize for the purpose
of reviying silk-culture. | shall here state
that the State and National Governments
are now squandering more money lavishly
under the name of silk-culture in this city,
and to my knowledge are running the
prospect of this industry into the ground,
than our people can conceive.
| have therefore concluded to lay the
matter before the National Government
personally, and have already shipped my
collection, which 1 exhibited at your last
State Fair, to Washington, d. c., for which
place | leave to-day.
Ii you gentlemen should consider my
proposition favorably, you will be kind
enough 10 send petition to the California
delegation, SO that they should see that if
any money is appropriated by the Govern
ment in behalf of silk culture in California,
Sacramento should be entitled to share of
1t to establish Sericultural College, ac-
cording TO my advice.
l propose to prove to you in due time
that We are able to produce one dollars
worth OF cocoons at q cost not exceeding
- Genus ana inat 10 40 IL properly requires
to start on small scale in the shape of a
college, where young men and women will
be taught the proper way of superintend-
ing cocooneries; the Keeling of silk is an
after consideration
Now, Sacramento would be willing to
deed to the Government ten or more acres
OF land for the purpose of building said
college, and have no doubt that the Com
missioner of Agriculture at Washington
will listen to, and grant my proposition.
Please address your answer to my letter to
Washington, d. G. Most respectfully
yours, JOSEPH NEUMANN.
