the opposition refuses to vote supplies

The Electric-Light Litigation.

PITTsBURG. Feb. 19.-The decision, in
London, of the High Justices. which up
holds the Edison-Swan incandescent light,
is not regarded by the Westinghouse people
as point gained by Edison against them.
According to the decision, Edison has a
monopoly of the incandescent lamp in Eng
land. The question arises whether the same
decision Will not have a bearing on the
suits in this country. A gentleman repre-
senting the Westinghouse Electric-Ight
Company, when seen to-day, said: "As re-
CARDS the situation in this country, the de-
cision does not affect it at all. We control
the business in this country, and propose to
hold on to it. The Edison people can make
nothing out of it as affecting American in
terests." When asked if it was not true
that the Westinghouse people would now
be shut ont from filling an order IN London
for $4,000 incandescent lamps, he replied:
"A wrong impression prevails regarding
our London order. We did not contract to
furnish the lamps. Any one can do that.
1t is the apparatus that we sell there. We
contracted to furnish the apparatus to GEN.
trail stations in London for 25.OO0 lights.
This apparatus consists Of dynamo and
other electric machinery. for generating and
distributing electricity"

THE AGITATION AT PEsTH.
A Renewal of the Attacks on Premier Tisza-

A Renewal of the Attacks on Premier Tisza-
Further Demonstrations Expected.
PEsTH, Feb. 19.-In the discussion on the
army bill IN the lower house of the Diet,
to-day, Count Apponyi and others renewed
the attacks on Premier Tisza. The latter,
in replying, said that riots had occurred
elsewhere-for instance, in Rome-without
anybody assuming that they betokened
great danger. Nowhere, certainly, had
such tone been adopted as in Pesth, or
the idea mOoted of arming the police with
reOlvvers. The Premier proceeded most
emphatically to repudiate the reproach
that he was demagogue, and
in concluding remarked that the
united efforts of the opposition
would undoubtedly be crowned with sue
cess in one direction, namely: the defense
of the constitution, which nobody hak at
tackled.
A heated debate ensued, during which
many personal illusions were made.
1t is reported that demonstration
against the bill will be organized next Sun
day at Presburg.
Baron Orezy and Count Zapary, in pri-
vate conference with the Liberals, on Satur-
professions, but Premier Tisza refused to
consent to this coerciye action, on the
ground that it would play still further into
the hands of the opposition, who would be
Delighted TO have new grievance. In an
audience with Emperor Francis Joseph,
yesterday, Premier Tisza declared that he
believed his retirement would end the agi-
tation, but the Emperor declined to hear a
word on the subject.

THE, SOUTH PACIFIC ISLANDS.
French Operations Cause Sensation-Senti-
ment in Australia and New Zealand.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 19.-The schooner
Tahiti, arriving here from Tahiti, brings
word that the greatest excitement prevails
there in consequence of news brought of
trouble at Samoa. This has been height
ened by the operations of the French to-
ward Bota-Bota, Mufheine and Raitea,
which form the leeward islands of the So
ciety group. The French authorities have
expressed their intention of taking possess
sion of these islands, but have been met
with most determined opposition GA the
part of the natives. The lower part Of the
principal island is occupied by the French,
but the natives are beyond their reach,
having retired to the mountain fastnesses.
When opportunity offers they descend and
harass their opponents, and there seems to
be little probability of their being brought
into state of subsection for some time.
The discussion of the Samoan question
IN New Zealand and Australia has shown
that the press uniformly supports the
action of the United States government in
appropriating money to protect its inter-
ests, and declaration is made that in case
of serious trouble between America and
Germany over the islands, the sympathy of
the colonies would be with the former, no
matter what position England assumes.
Speaking at public banquet at Yelling
ton. the capital of New Zealand, Jan. 22,
Sir Harry. Atkinson, Premier of that colony,
said: Il rejoice to look forward to the
great union of all English-speaking races
throughout the world, and venture to say
that whether, In course of time, England
or America is to be the center, will depend
upon our English statesmen. If this is not
TO be the case, then we must center in the
great nation of America"
Mr.. Greenbaum. ex-United States consul
to Samoa, is quoted by the Examiner, to-
day, as saying, with reference to mail mat
ter reaching Captain Leary, when at the
Samoan island, 1T is nothing new to me.
When was in Samoa / was informed. by
an employe of the German Trading Com
pany, that they had regular system of
opening letters, by steaming them over a
boiler. and by this process opening the seal
and mucilage. 1t was then easy to take
out the contents, copy all correspondence
therein, and replace them in proper man
ner without being noticeable. On this ac-
count used silk-thread ribbons as fasten-
ings, sealing them together securely to
protect my mail, and notified the govern
ment at Washington.

THE SAINT OF CLOTHES.

Exit Saint Valentine. Interest has
ended with him for year. Enter Saint
Martin, so often called the patron OF
clothes, presumably because while yet
soldier he divided his cloak with his
sword that he might protect a naked
beggar from cold. He lived way back
in the sixth century, but his heart was
all right if he clothed the naked.
That's what we do. So our heart is
all right. What is more to the point,
our clothes are all right; and what is
still more to the point, our prices are all
right. Come try them on - both the
clothes and the prices. You will find
that they will fit you.

THE DIRECT-TAx BILL.
Democratic Filibustering Accomp1ishes It's
WORK and Kills the Measure.

Worx and Kills the Measure.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-There is now no
hope for the direct-tax bill. 1t is irredeem-
ably lost. and if it ever becomes a law it
will have to go through the regular chan
nels of the next House. Although the SEN
ate adopted it to-day, the Democrats in the
House filibustered against its consideration
and defeated it. There now remain but
nine legislative days of the Fiftieth Con-
gress. 1t is said that President Cleveland
has promised not to sign the bill if it is
passed, and to permit it to lie on his desk.
Since no bill passed by this Congress after
to-day can become law without President
Cleveland's signature, the direct-tax bill is
already corpse. A measure must either
be signed, or there must be ten legisla-
tive days elapse in order TO
make it law, and since only
nine days can pass before the end of this
Congress, any bill adopted hereafter can
not become law without the Presidents
signature. The most contemplate dilatory
motions were made by the Democrats In
the House to defeat action upon the confer
ence report on the bill to-day. 1t was very
exasperating to the Republicans, but they
could not help themselves. There are
number of measures which may be defeated
by the pocket veto; the Oklahoma and the
territorial statehood bills may be pocket
vetoed, if passed. The friends of the omni-
buss territorial bill yet believe that
that measure will be finally adopted
this week, and that the President can be
persuaded to sign it.
There was a report in circulation at the
Capitol this afternoon that the Nicaurau-
guam canal bill would not be signed by the
President, and another report that it would
be vetoed. The friends of the measure say

the Assistance of q Cabinet.
PARIS, Feb. 19.-In spite of continued ne
gotiations, the settlement of the Cabinet
crisis appears as distant as ever. The fail
ure of M. Meline indicates the absolute inn
possibility of forming Cabinet ON Ferry
ist or Opportunlst lines. 1t was to demon
strate this that President Carnot insisted
so strongly that NJ. Meline attempt the
rask, saying that if he could not succeed in
is group no one could hope to do better.
~ e..saeEt Carnot to-day offered tie pre-
miership to NJ. Tirard, only to meet with
summon NJ. Meline, whom he urged to make
tions. NJ. Meline, steadily declined to
undertake the task. The difficulty
OF the position may be realized from the
Prevet, was afraid to risk entering M. Me-
lines proposed Ministry. Later, President
Carnot summoned Senator Magnin, former
Minister and we'll accredited. Report says
that the President strongly inclines toward
celylng that such a Ministry would have a
better prospect of securing general support
than government composed of more pro-
nounced members of the Chamber. But
late this evening nothing had been settled.
There is no basis for the rumors regarding
an extrapariiamentary Cabinet, which
would be unconstitutional. Deputy Della
terre has withdrawn his motion in favor Of
the formation of Ministry outside of Par
lament.
At meeting of the Radical Left several
Deputies expressed themselves in favor of
a concentration Cabinet" having special
mandate to conduct elections, comprising q
Minister of the Interior acceptable to all
the Republican groups. President CarnOt
will probably be obliged to give the new
Cabinet the right of dissolution.
At midnight it was reported that NJ De
Freyclnet had been approached with the
view of his forming a Cabinet, and that he
has promised to give his answer tomorrow.
PEsTH, Feb. 19.-The Pesther Lloyd pro-
fesseS to have secret knowledge of the
sources from whence General Boulanger
derives his election funds. 1t says the Pan
Slavists staked their hopes on General
Boulanger, and the political success he has
ACHE Led is to no small extent due to the
support given to his cause by Russia. The
same paper further declares that NJ Flo
quet owes his defeat to his disinclination
to pick quarrel with Germany or Italy for
the sake of giving Russia free play. 1t says:
Russia desires to separate Austria Hun
gary from the triple alliance, but her eff
forts are doomed to failure We shall stand
where we are called by our treaties to
stand, and we shall be seen neither with
the enemies of our friends nor the friends

to have been inspired by Count KalnOky,
who is now in Pestl.
