PARIS, Nov. SIN the chamber of
deputies to-day NJ. Dreyfus moved that
the forty-two million francs asked by
the government to fortify the harbors
Of Prest and CharbOugh be spent in
building cruisers and torpedo vessels.
The German and italian navies, he
said, were superior to the French navy
and the German government was
about to demand $50, COCO, 900 marks to
build more vessels. Admiral Krantz,
minister Of marine, said that when the
Germans demanded that amount he
would demand similar sum. Ap-
plausel The French navy should not
be underestimated. The year 1889
would see it in a respectable condition.
NJ. Dreyfus withdrew his motion. NJ.
Dorian moved to reduce the estimate
for naval supplies by 500, 600 francs.
Admiral KrantZ opposed the motion
urging that the full amount was nee
eesary in order to complete the storing
OF coal. The Budget committee accep-
ted the motion, Whereupon Admiral
KrantZ said that he should regard it a
mark of want of confidence. This
declaration caused great excitement
and NJ. Dorian withdrew his motion
and declined to participate any further
in the debate.

distant boom OF the cannon echoed the
enthusiasm OF the ten Thousand cele-

the rain which had been
pouring steadily for five hours

satlon by notifying Chairman Fithorn
that commencing next Wednesday. its
rates on packing house products, cat
tie and hogs viii be 25 cents a hundred
pounds from Omaha to Chicago. The
tariff rate on packing house products
is 20 cents, and on cattle and hogs pa
cents, so that the reduction amounts
to 10 cents on the former and
% 1-2 cents on the latter. The an
nouncement is intended as blow at

is thought that bitter rate war viii

such an extent they stand up and wave
their bouquets and then sit down and
wipe the mock tears away with brilliant

hangs q picture Of President Cleveland.
The eyes Of the picture are very black,
while below is the inscription:

What Cleveland Says.

WASHINGTON, Nov. THE Post to-
morrow will say: The president takes
the result calmly and philosophically
He talked quite freely about the re-
turns and the increased republican
vote. but expressed not the slightest
regret in the world at any action he
had taken during his administra-
ton. He is willing to admit
that his position on the tariff and the
decided stand he took in favor of rev.
enue reduction may have lost good
many votes but he still maintains that
if it were to do over again he would
follow the dictates OF his conscience.
The president received no kilograms
from the national democratic commit
tee until late in the afternoon.
From what he has heard
however he comedies that he is de-
feated. He attributes his defeat 10 no
one in particular and says Hill and
Tammany hall treated him with per-
feet fairness and that he has no fault
to find at all.
