Four of Gen. Legitime's War Ships Bonn
bard an Insurgent Stronghold.
On the morning of Dec. four of Legi-
times men-of-war bombarded Cape Hayti.
The gunboats dropped anchor four or five
miles off the shore, lying broadside to the
town, and fired blank cartridges to give
notice of their warlike intentions. The
foreign Consuls in the city petitioned for
time to get out of the city. and were given
thirty-sia hours The people fed into the
hills. taking all the possessions they could
conveniently carry, loading their effects
on the backs of mules. and as the sup
ply of pack-mules was limited to fifty or
sixty. fabulous prices were paid for their
use. The bamboo huts succumbed easily
to the shots from the boats: but the stone
buildings in the central and more elevated
portion of the town were not so easily de-
stroyed, the heavy walls resisting the ire
for several hours. Despite the warning
they had received many of the residents
chung to their habitations. In fact, it was
impossible to remove many Of the sick in
the city within the time allotted by Legitime.
Some twenty were killed and many wounded.

EXCITED FRENCHMEN.

Abandoned the Most Glorious of Mon
archies-M observation-disclosures Speech.
In the French Senate during the debate
on the budget NJ. Challemel- Lacour said the
present was not the moment to consider
French finances but the future of France.
He condemned the policy now pursued in the
schools, which, he said, struck at the root of
the traditional principle of parental control.
The main cause of existing evils, he de-
clared, was radicalism, which relentlessly
pursued the old founders of the republic and
gave promises that were impossible to full
fill. France had abandoned the most glori-
Gus of monarchies, and was about to fall at
the feet of the least of men. The Cabinets
duty was to check the movement toward
the abyss, but instead of doing this the
Cabinet were fastening the movement.
1t was time to return to a policy of good
sense. He appealed to the Right to unite
with the party of the Left, which was the
upholder of order and liberty, and together
save the country. The speech created
sensation. and at it's conclusion the SEN
ate arose en- masse and enthusiastically
cheered the orator.

At st. Paul mild weather was held to be the
cause of tardy trading, and the movement at
Kans as City was rather light, but more activity
was noticed at Detroit, and other reports from
the Northwest indicated q satisfactory volume
oftrade. In the Southwest there was more ir
regularity, and while the cotton movement was
large and the clearngs heavy the situation
seemed less wholesome. At Memphis the char
Rcter OF recent failures was thought indicative
of an unhealthy state Of trade. Pittsburg
found southern iron underselling North
ern products, and the same was reported
from Philadelphia. The payments through all
than year ago. and at all cities outside of New
York the amount was about 319 per cent. larger.
Wheat prices were cents lower for the week.
Sales were only $780, 900 bushels in New York
City, and the seat of the difficulty was Chica-
go, where favorable reports as to growing Win
ter wheat began to be felt. Exports from Atlantic
ports for three weeks have been 81 591 bush
SOB 09A barrels, against 668, $50, and corn
expor,s are 31O8,O36 bushels, against 1,414,074
last year. The price of corn advanced y cent,
with oats unchanged. On the whole the ten
dency of prices was downward. At Western
points some stringency appeared The Treas
ury paid out during the week, at all points, a.,
400,t % more than it took in. Bankers look for
annual disbursements are expected to stiffen
the market for securities. The business fail

against q total of 3J3 for the week BEFORE and

members to attend church in body the
Sunday previous to each 18th of Septem-
Der, each member wearing cockade and
piece of Grape, the latter out of respect
to the memory of the dead comrades.

Manner in London Suburb.
The body of woman was found in the
suburbs of London. An empty phial lay
alongside the body. and the impression
first formed was that the woman had COM
mitted suicide. The physicians who ex-
amined the body testified that there were
no signs of poison in the stomach, and de-
clared their belief that the woman had been
murdered by strangulation. There was a
mark on the womans neck which showed
that small cord had been tied tightly
around it. The woman was of low charac-
ter. 1t is believed that her murderer is
identical with the Whitechapel fiend, who
has adopted new method of disposing of
his victims

four indictments we're found at the present term
of court at Provo for violations of United States
statutes designed to suppress polygamy and
poygamous- living To give Utah Statehood
would retard progress, depreciate values, per-
petuate polygamy and hand the Territory over
to the Mormon priesthood. We call upon

ton. The admission of Utah to Statehood would
be crime against American institutions.

in his decision sustaining the will
of the late Samuel J. yTilden. The
will was dated April %, 1884. and
contained provision for the establishment

construction of this clause that Col. George

A notable result of the Panama Canal
collapse is that all the anger and disap-
pointment of the investors is directed
against Parliament, while sympathy is ex-
tendedto NJ de Lesseps, who is regarded
as martyr. On the other hand, there is
every indication that when the Deputies
who voted against the bill come forward
for reelection they will find very intense
feeling against them. Thousands of share
holders, at the invitation of the company.
have signed an agreement to subscribe for
lottery bonds on future issue at $50
francs. majority of them, however, re-
fused to sign an agreement to leave their
claims at interest until the completion of
the canal. Two persons were nearly
lynched and several others were roughly
handled by the crowd around the compa-
ny's officers for making depreciatory re-
marks about M. de Lesseps.
