The French Navy.
Cleveland Leader.l


The French have a very good navy,
although we do not hear much about
it. They have 400 steamships of all
classes, and the naval estimate for
1883 was over &42,0oO,OO0. They
have 26 fighting ships, and they have
built more ships during the past 10
years than England. The guns are
said to be not SO good as those of
England, but the plating OF their
ships is said to be better. Their navy
is we'll manned. Their sailors are
trained even as their soldiers, and they
have force Of 10000 who have had
some education for the navy. They
are incomparably superior in this re-
gard to those of the United States,
whose ships are old and whose navy is
nothing to speak of.

The London Rioters Maintain o War.Liks
Attitude

LONDON, February 12.-The striking
operatives iu the hosiery factories at
Leicester renewed their riotous demonstra-
tions to-day. They attacked and sacked
several houses. The police frequently
charged on the strikers during the day, and
in each instance were resisted. many of the
policemen heing injured. The authorities
are alarmed by the aegreesiveness Of the
strikers and seeing that the regular police
force is inadequate to cope with the dis
orderly element, have ordered the appoint
ment Of special policemen, and q number OF
citizens are now being sworn in to do duty
as such.
Burns, Hyndham, Champion, Watts,
and Williams, the leaders who managed the
Trafalgar Square meeting last Monday,
called in a body at Gladstone's official
residence in Downing street for the
purpose OF obtaining an interview

isit, and his secretary received the
callers. The Socialists stated that the OBJ
ject Of their visit was to obtain from Glnd-
stone some declaration ofthe Government 3
intentions with regard to affording relief to
the unemployed workmen of the country
by means of opening the public works.
They desired tO obtain this information
before stumping the country in the impend-
ing labor agitation. in order to be able to
carry as much encouragement as possible
to the people. Gladstone's secretary ad-
vised the derutation to call at the office uf
the secretary for Home Affairs, as the sab
i-ct was not one properly pertaining to tho
Treasury Department, OF which Gladstone
is the first lord. This reply was received
with dissatisfaction, and the deputation
handed the secretary q document for
Gladston'a perusal. This is in. the ma ure
of formal declaration insisting on behalf
OF u. employed workngmen that the Gov
ernment take immediate steps to relieve
their pressing needs.

THE COM1QUE BENEFTF.
The Performances for the Benefit Of
the Sufferers by the Fire.

The lower part of the Grand Opera House
was quite filled and the gallery quite empty
last evening, on the occasion of the benefit
performance to the sufferers by the Com
iuue fire. The attendance was not by any
means what was expected, nor did the COM
nunity generally come to the front. I his
was due, largely, no doubt. to the fact that
the Comique Company. just now not ex-
alone. Volunteers from other sources,
which would have strengthened the bill and
added to it's draft, were refused. This cre-
ated more or less feeling and kept
away many persons. There is no
doubt, however, that hundreds OF
tickets were sold thst were un-
represented at the performance. The per-
f"rmance opened with a musical tri6e,
Supper on the Lawn" in which the Dun
can Sisters and Mr.. Montague appeared in
solos, duets and trios. TEis was followed
by Miss Dot. Thompson, in character
songs, after which Prof. Mongreni De Las
somm gave number OF interesting feats
in ledgerdemain. Miss Flora Franks sang
very prettily. and was followed by the
Phoites, in grotesque dancing contortlons
and pantomime specialtles. They are ex-
ceedingly clever. Miss Millie Thomas sang
and Prof. Mongreni gave an exhibition OF
his stereopticon and views. The perform
ance concluded with Joseph Phoites' great
pantomime in one act, entitled "A Terrible
Night" 1t is exceedingly ludicrous and it's
c.,mical and unexpected situations kept
the house in constant roar. It relieved
the tameness oi the balance OF the per-
Torrance.
The MINER is pleased to learn that the
performance netted a very handsome sum
for the performers who lost their all by
the fire.

NEW YoRK, February ia man named
Jack White, who makes business OF cut
ting horses tails boarded at No. 200 West
Twenty seventh street until yesterday.
He had roommate named August Suter,

looking, but unhappy. Suter was cook at
the Grant House, Catskils, last summer,
but has not had steady employment since.
He came from Germany two years ago,
leaving u wife ho. he said made life miser-
able for him. Last year he went to Berlin,
Germany, saying before he left that unless
he had reconciliation he would declare
tho marriage void. When he came back he
told his friends he was q free man, but
did not say how he got his liberty.
At 4 o'clock yesterday morning Suter
went to his room and to bed. Jack White
called at the house last evening. Suter
lay with a sheet over his head and his arm
up by his shoulder. Jack thought he was
asleep, and was leaving when q loud report
was heard from the bed. The sheet was
thrown from Suter's face by a spasmodic
action Of the sleeper, and revealed Suffers
head and the bed, covered with blood, In
Ills hand WAS q 82-calibre revolver, and
over his right temple was large pistol'shot
wound bleeding prnfusely. Suter died almost
instantly. No relatives are known in this
country, and as Suter belonged to cooks
