PARIS, May 15th.-During to-day's ses-
sion of the Chamber of Deputies a dis
graceful row occurred over the question OF
fixing the date for the next meeting. Each
group differed with the other, and when
the motion was made all the Deputies arose
and began to shout insulting epithets at
each other. The uproar lasted for several
minutes, all efforts of the new President to
restore order being unavailing.
Comte D'Ouville, radical aristocrat,
took possession Of the tribune from which
speakers address the House, screaming in
vain 10 make himself heard, and adding
to the excitement by refusing TO leave it on
the order of the President A hundred
fists were shaken at him, and several Dep
uties assembled the steps to pull him down,
but he chung desperately to the railing.
The President finally put on his hat and
left the chair, the usual signal for suspend
ing the sitting. The cause for the wrangle
was not apparent.

The San Francisco Call of yesterday SAYS
" AdRices recently received at the Horti-
cultural Board state that the apricot crop is
going to run short all over the State. The
yield last year was the largest on record,
and producers naturally expect a small
yield this year. The peach crop will be
good both III quantity and quality, and es-
peciaily in sections where the ravages of
the Goblin moth have been checked. The
cherry and apple crops are a little above
the average. The prospect for the wine
districts is excellent. II the couleure does

LONDON, May I5th.-Adyices from the
west coast of Africa say that numerous
human sacrifices have taken place there in
consequence of the death of q son of King
Grand Jack. The victims were chosen by
lot and compelled to drink a poisonous
liquor. They were then thrown into the
surf on the sea shore, and when the waves
dashed them back on the beach, men,
women and children gathered and stabbed
and hacked them with knives until they
were dead. The Chief of this tribe Las
adopted the British flag, but the Captain OF
an English trading vessel, which happened
to be in the harbor, demonstrated with him
in vain.

We give below the New York Triblnes
editorial on Mr.. Blaine's letter to Mr.. Reid,
its editor, which was published Wednesday:
We print elsewhere a letter from Mr..
Blaine, fatty making an end of any possible
consideration of his name for the Chicago
nomination. All now know that but for the
Florence letter Mr.. Blaine was sure to be
nominated by acclamation and equally sure,
we think, of an election. Even after the
Florence letter it was so obviously the over
whelming desire of republicans everywhere
to make him the candidate in spite of him.
self, that of late there has been little doubt
among either friends or foes that the NOM
ination would still be rendered him. With
a full knowledge of this he makes
haste to say that he now considers himself
bound by his Florence letter to refuse 8
nomination. even IL 1t came to him un-
sought and against his expressed wishes.
This Is an set of magnanimous selt-abnega-
tion rare IN political history and sure to
command the appreciation Of his regretful
but admiring countrymen. Meantime the
republican party is confronted with the i'm
mediate necessity of making another
choice. Unlike the party in power, it
thinks 1t has many men In its ranks fit for
tine highest honors of the country. The
one question now, as from the beginning,
is, which one of them is at once sure of the
republican states and strongest in the
doubtful states?
