Affecting the N. p.

WASHINGTON, July AFTER the trans
action of som routine business the
house to-day went into committee of the
whole for the consideration of the bill to
forfeit certain lands heretofore granted
for the purpose of aiding the construc-
ton of railroads, with the house substi-
tute therefor. Payson explained that
the general provisions of the bill pro-
posed to forfeit and restore to the pub
lie domain all public lands wherever
situated which has been granted in aid Of
construction where railroads have not
been completed at this time. There have
thirty-seven railroads aided by acts of
congress which were not completed
within the time fixed by congress. Twelve
roads have been forfeited, comprising
nearly 100000 acres. That left twenty
five roads which have not been acted
upon. Nine have been fully completed,
and that left sixteen roads now uncom-
pleted, and the house substitute recon-
mended a forfeiture Of all lands lying OPP
posite such portions of roads az not now
constructed. It was his opinion that no
bill OF q broader character than this
could ever pass the senate and become q
law. A carefuJsS to- the effect

Laying Pipes Under Water.

A civil engineer at Watertown has ac-
complished in a very simple, cheap and
expeditions way what is usually a difficult
and expensive o~peration-the laying of a
long line of pipe in deep water. He had
occasion to lay nearly 1000 feet of suction
pipe. at ,Rouse's point. The water was
needed for manufacturing purposes, and as
it was found that the water near the shore
was more or less impure it was necessary
to place the inlet a considerable distance
out into the lake. He purchased for the
purpose a steel pressure pipe of eight inch
diameter. Plugging the end of the first
length he pushed it out on the surface Of
Lake C%hamplain and connected the second
length, pushing this out in turn until the
whole line was coupled.
It then presented the unusual spectacle
of a line of eight inch pressure pipe nearly
1000 feet long floating with a displacement
Of only 81 inches of its diameter. When
the requisite length had been connected
the line was towed to position, the plug at
the end removed and the pipe sank easily
in 1917 feet Of water without breaking q
joint or receiving any injury. No buoys or
floats were used in the operation and no APP
paratus Of any kind. The pipe is now IN
use as the suction of u steam pun and
gives perfect satisfaction.-New York Tele-

A Pugilist Almost Beaten to Death in an

A Pugilist Almost Beaten to Death in an
Exhibition Scrap.
CHICAGO, July 3.-Jack Ashton was to
meet Frank Glover tonight at Battery D
armory in a hard-glove contest and 1000
people assembled to witness the pugil-
istic encounter. The police prevented
the men from appearing, however, owing
to the fact that when the time came an
other pugilist who had participated in
one of the preliminary fights that formed
a part of the programme wal seriously
injured. The unfortunate was Mike
Brennan of Boston who in a clinch with
Frank Girrard suffered a terrific fall.
The back of Brennan's head struck the
floor, knocking him insensible. He had
previously been keeled over repeatedly
by smashing right and left
handlers from Girrard, who has been ar.
rested. At midnight the death of the in
jured was expected at any time. The
fight between Girrard and Brennan,
although a minor affair to the supposed
leading number on the program. was
generally known to be "for blood"

throughout the rest of the battle. AS
last as Brennan arose he would go down
again, each time growing more weak un-

The President Signs the Bill Ad-
hitting Idaho Into the
Union.
This Places Forty Three Stars on
Our National Flag To-Day.
July 4th.
One Man Almost Killed in an
Exhibition Fight at
Chicago.
Forty-Three Stars To-day,

WASHINGTON, July Sin signing the
bill admitting Idaho to the sisterhood of
states, this morning, the president dis
appointed a number of people in that
state, who had hoped that the new state
would take up her position in line. on
the fourth of July. The reason for his
action was an interesting one. The
president, it seems, found that the law
ordained that a new star should be
placed upon the American flag for each
new state on the fourth of July succeed
ing its admission into the Union. The
president left it to Dubois, delegate from
Idaho, to decide whether to have the bill
signed at once and get a star or leave the
star over until the fourth Of July, 1891.
Dubois chose the star now, and, as
a result, the bill has been signed
and forty-three stars are due
upon to-morrow's flag. The Republican
conferees on the silver bill were to.
gether for a couple of hours this after
noon, and it is said made some progress
toward an agreement. The stars and
stripes will float over the capital to-
morrow, although neither house will be

never before has the flag hoated on the
exterior of that building, except when
congress was in session.

Entertainment Cor Bows.

One Of the worthiest philanthropies in.
London is the Children's Happy Evenings
association; its mission is explained in its
title. The work of this association has.
been rewarded with flattering success, and
now a new series of entertainments has
been devised for the delectation of boys.
The first of these entertainments was given
at the Stanhope street school, under the
patronage of the countess of Iddesleigh.
It began with a magic lantern exhibition,
and the 900 boys present were wild with.
delight; then followed music by the Mary
lebone amateur banjo band, and singing
and recitations. When the health Of the
countess of Iddesleigh was proposed every
little fellow stood up in his chair and
shouted like a Trojan. It is estimated that
these entertainments provide pleasant and
profitable evenings for 100000 little folk
who otherwise would be running at large
in the public streets.-Cor. Chicago News.

SHOWED THEIR HAND,
French Outspoken In Thor At

French lat Outspoken In Their At
titude Toward American Products.
PARIS. July THE senate this week has
shown its hand plainly in regard to Ameri-
can questions. After q long debate it final
ly voted in favor of q duty Of francs on
corn, and supplemented this by imposing a
duty OF 8 francs on corn meal.
During the closing debate it was distinct
ly avowed that the duty on corn was to be
considered only a continuation 1.-THE nine
year-old policy toward American pork.
Comte Foucher de CARL declared that the
importation OF American pork was only an
other mode OF importing American corn,
and French farmers could not maintain
themselves against it. The prohibition of
pork was right n ought to be maintained.
but the duty on corn should also be made
prohibitive.
NJ. Millaud called attention to the fact
that American pork is only prohibited on
the ground of its alleged unhealthfulness.
he declared that this is merely a pretext.
Other members said that it was all right
tanned.
ADVOCATING RECIPROCITY.
LONDON, July Just now the Tories are
looking around for a new issue that may
be popular enough to divert attention from
a series OF piti.ul legislative failures. and
the Conservative cheers which greeted the
proposal of Col. Howard Vincent, that the
house should consider whether a free mar
ket should be longer given to the competing
productions of a foreign state putting pro-
hibitive duties upon British goods" are sig
nificant of the growing feeling in the gov
eminent ranks. Col. Vincent is an enthu-
siast in favor, not of absolute protection,
but of reciprocity, and he holds that only
those nations should be admitted which ex-
tend equal facilities to the trade and to the
commerce Of Great Britain. His sentiments
are spreading rapidly, not only in parlia-
ment, but among the working people of the
country, many of whom find themselves
threatened with loss of employment by the
American tariff bill, while many Others are
out Of employment through the fierce COM
petition Of Germany and other countries,
who pour their products into Great Britain,

The Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, July Tn. the senate
Morrill, moved to take up the tariff bill,
saying it could then be laid aside in
formally until the shipping bills we're
disposed of. The senate refused. The
senate bill that provides for the United
States land courts and provides for the
settlement Of private land claims in New
Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming, Utah,
Nevada and Colorado was discussed un-
til 2 o'clock, when it was laid aside with
out action and the shipping bills re.
sumed. Reagan spoke against the bills.
At the close his remarks on the election
bill we're received from the house, and
we're, on motion of Frye, ordered to lie
on the table until the return to Washing
ton OF the chairman of the committee on
privileges and elections, Hoar.

try.
New YORK, July 5.-R. G.. Dunn &
Co.'s Review says: With the beginning
of the new fiscal year we have heavy dis
bursements and easier money and better
crop prospects and a continuance of
larger trade for the season than has been
seen in any previous year. At the same
time it Is to be admitted that there
seems to have been within the past week
or two a little more than ordinary hest
tation or s%lackening of trade at the ar.
rival of midsummer, and confidence in
the future, as affected by legislation, is
rather less strong than it was a fortnight
ago. Money apprehensions excited by
exports of gold have been aIlayed by
heavy disbursements in dividends and in
terest said to be the largest ever made
at this season and, exclusive of govern
ment payments, estimated at $74,OOO,O 600
against 1851, 100000 last year.. Foreign
advices and rates of exchange do not at
present indicate danger of any serious
drain from abroad and the interior mon
ey markets are all freely supplied at
the usual rates.

FRENCH ARMY DISCIPLINE.
Brutal Punishment Accorded Soldiers
for Bad Behavior.

The punishments in vogue in the French
army are of a very severe nature, more es-
pecially when it is considered that the men
thus punished are not by any means crimi-
nails, but only soldiers who have not be-
haved SO well as they might. These are
deported to Algiers under the name of
"Camisards," where they are enrolled in
the s'campagnies de discipline" Before
embarking the man has his boots taken
from him, which are replaced by sabots,
and on arriving at his destination he re-
ceives a uniform of gray wool and a cap
with q large brim. The men are farmed
out to do work, and are all the time under
the supervision of non-commissioned Of
1cers, who treat their interiors with the
greatest brutality. It is, however, the
punishments to which the men are sub
jected for the most trifling offenses which
must excite indignation.
A common punishment is to keep them
night and day in a hole in the ground with
perpendicular walls, so that escape is i'm
possible. Scorching heat by day and cold
by night, with rations reduced to one-quar-
ter of their proper quantity, make the very
common punishment of the gargoule ex-
tremely trying. The imprisoning of men
in the tombeaux, or regulation tents, which
are only fifty centimeters broad md sixty
high, is no rarity; and during their incar-
c~eration the prisoners receive no water, nor
wine nor coffee. A. little meat and some
bouillon is their whole nourishment during
the day.
But those who are punished with cells
are incomparably worse off. They are
never allowed, under any circumstances,
to leave the hole they are kept in either by
DIV or ot piobt TNlop bo,,o ~, l,+;,. 80
work to pass the time and only get some
warm soup every second day, with a very
limited quantity of water daily. This pun
ishment is made still more severe by put
ting the man into irons on certain occasions.
The delinquent has twoiron rings around
his ankles, which ere connected with an
iron bar rather more than a foot in length,
so that his legs form al isosceles triangle
with it. He is forced to lie down on his
face n then his arms are chained on his
back, whereupon he is put into his tom
beau. He can only eat his soup like a dog,
and if he wants to drink he must seize his
bottle with his teeth, and should he let the
bottle fall his ration of water is lost for
that day. Any complaints are at once
stopped by a gag.
Only quite recently a punishment was
in use called the ~crapaudine. The prison
er's hands and feet were chained together,
and in this posture he was strung up on
to an iron bar. The camisard is also in
use. The soldier is first put into a strait
jacket, his hands are tied on his back and
round his neck IN iron collar is fastened,
which is attached to an iron bar in the
wall. The man has to stand in this posi-
ton as. long as eight days, unable to lie
down or to do anything for himself

Governor Nichols Returns the Lottery Bill

BATON ROUGE, La, July 7.-Governor
Nichols this afternoon returned to the
house without approval the now famous
lottery bill. In his veto message, which
is of great length, he refers to his mes
sage at the opening of the session., antici-

slant rejection for various reasons then
set forth. In the present message he
says his views heretofore expressed, not
only remain unchanged but his conyic-
tons have deepened and strengthened.
Gov. Nichols concluded with a most ur-
gent protest against this assumed condi-
ton of poverty in the state and says the
measure will continue to meet with his
most determined opposition. The bill
was made special order for tomorrow
afternoon.
