Az IMPORTANT MATTER.
A Case Involving the Rights of French
American Citizens Abroad.

AInerlcdn CltiZenS ADrOdus
Copyright 1855, by ae Cahfornia Associated Pressl
WASHINGTON, April 1st-An issue has
been raised by Minister McLean at Paris,
acting under the instructions of Secretary
Bayard, that will, it is hoped, determine
the right of the French Government TO inn
press into its military service naturalized
American citizens of French origin. The
facts respecting the arrest of John Fran
chier, of Nevada, a naturalized citizen of
that State, have been published.
In 1886 he went abroad, and on Decem
ber oath of that year he was arrested, and
after a short Imprisonment taken to Cahons
and enrolled in the Seventh Infantry Regi-
ment of the Second Battalion, Second
Corps of the French army. He enlisted the
services of friends in Nevada in his behalf
to procure his release, and the matter was
brought to the attention of Senator Stewart,
who has obtained from the Secretary of
State the correspondence in the case.
On May 5th, 1887, Minister Mclean
brought to NJ. Flourens' attention the facts
above stated. On June 14th of that year
NJ. Flourens replied, saying that the matter
had been referred to the Minister of War,
who said that the claim made in Fran
chier's behalf raised a question of personal
status, which the civil Courts alone could
settle. NJ. Flourens averred that Fran
chier's name could only be stricken from
the military rolls of the Republic upon the
production of 2 judgment Endorsed bv q
French Court of Justice, and recognizing in
him the status of foreigner
On the 1lth OF January last Mr.. Mclean
wrote letter to the French Minister OF
| State demanding Franchier's release, and
to that letter, on the 9TH of March, no reply
had been received. On that day Mclean
| wrote Bayard letter in which he SAYS
"I agree with you, that the case of Fran
| CHER is one of those well adapted to test
the question of the right of American citi-
zens of French parentage 10 visit France
without being subjected TO forced military
| service. The question has been plainly and
| fairly sent to the French Government
in my note of January 11th, to
| which no answer has yet been made,
and in which you can see by
| referring to it that l have form
ally demanded the discharge of Fran
CHER and Arbios. A copy of your letter
which left with NJ. Flourens, has, / trust,
strengthenedmy position, but for which, as
l stated in my letter to you, did not feel
myself authorized to make new demand
for the release of these two men, and until
reply is received to my demand of jan
uary 11th l do not think it is desirable to
press the matter
In the meantime Franchier has been
forced to serve in the French army nearly
fifteen months. How long Arbios. another
naturalized American, impressed under
like circumstances, has been compelled to
do military duty in France is unknown.

What Constitutes a Family Medicine ?

What Constitutes a Family Medicine :?
A preparation which is adapted to the
relief and cure of ailments 10 which mem
bers of household are most subject, and
which is not only alleged to do this, but
has long and unfailingly proved its ability
to do it, assuredly deserves the title of a
reliable Family Medicine. Among time
honored preparations, which experience
and the sanction of the medical profession
indicate as deserving of popular regard
and confidence, is Hostetters Stomach Bit
tiers, medicine adapted to the eradication
OF dyspepsia, constipation and biliousness,
the three most frequently occurring all
ments that vex mankind. Derived from
botanic parentage, it is efficient as well as
pure and wholesome. 1t relieves nervous
dis4uietude and inactivity of the kidneys,
and counteracts tendency to rheumatism.
For renewing tagging strength and i'm
parting appetite it can be implicitly relied
upon. Fever and ague, rheumatism and
debility are remedied by it.

HOLDING 1T BACK.
Randall Said to be Getting in His Work
Against the Tariff Bill.


lCopUight, 1858, Jyhe California associated Press
WASHINGTON, April Representative
Mckinley has prepared the minority report
of the Ways and Means Committee against
the Mills tariff dill. 1t will be given to the
public tomorrow if there is a meeting of
the Ways and Means Committee. 1t is a
document of about the same length as the
majority report in favor of the bill. The
denial of assertions made in this report are
written from protection standpoint.
There is a complaint on the part of some
Democratic members of the House that
Randall, Chairman of the Appropriations
Committee, is holding back the appropria-
ton bills to delay and possibly defeat ac-
ton on the tariff bill under the amended
rules of the House. Only three great ap-
preparation bills-the sundry civil, def
cheney and fortincations bills-are prepared
by the Appropriations Committee BY a
sort of common understanding between
the Chairmen of the Committees on Naval
Affairs, Military Affairs, Pensions, Indian
Affairs, Agriculture and District of Column
bia, the appropriations for the navy, mill
tary and Indian service, and for pensions,
agriculture and the District of Columbia,
have been delayed 10 await action on the

Measures to Engross the Attention of
Congress for Some Days.

Congress for Some Days.
WASHINGTON, April 1st.-Although the
Committee on Rules has mapped out pro-
gramme for the government of House pro-
ceedings during the week, its publication
has given rise to so much dissatisfaction
among committees which have been left
out OF the arrangement, that it is extremely
doubtful if it will be adhered to.
The Appropriations Committee has de-
termined to press the passage of the pen
sions and District of Columbia appropria-
ton bills, and if these measures are called
up they will practically consume the entire
week.
In the Senate the Palmer bill TO create a
Bureau of Animal Industry, and the Platt
bill for the admission of South Dakota, are
mentioned as possible subjects of attention
during the week. Everything depends
upon the action of the caucuses in regard
to the motion now pending in the Senate
to recommit the bond BILL which is unfin-
ished business.

FREE WOOL.
The Danger to the Country of Making
Wool Free.

LOUISVILLE, April 1st.-The Courier Jour
mats Washington special says: The report
of the minority of the Ways and Means
Committee, drawn up by Mckinley, against
the passage of Mills bill, attacks vigor-
ously the free list, and vehemently de-
nounces free wool and free tin plate.
1t says regarding free wool, that the first
effort in the direction of free trade is aimed
at the unorganized farmers of the country.
who, far removed from centers of trade,
and unadvised that their interests were to
be dealt an unfriendly blow, are to be the
first victims of the British free-trade policy.
Theirs is large interest-few in the coun-
try are larger. Our wool will be of no per-
manent benefit TO the manufacturer or con-
sumner, but positive loss to both, and a
great loss to flock masters and those de-
pending upon them for employment.
The decay of sheep husbandry in the
United States would be national calamity.
The report asserts that the great business
Interests of the country, SO largely repre-
sented by manufactures, were treated with
silent contempt, and despite the earnest
protest of the minority, these interests
were not as much as allowed the right of
petition guaranteed to every American citi-
zen.
