merce of Abyssinia.
PARIS. Jan. 21.-In the chamber of
deputies to-day NJ. Etienne, under sec
rotary for the colonies, confirmed the
report of an attack upon a caravan pro-
ceeding from Djiboutil to Harrar on
French territory, and said that force
of French troops and Soudanese Ievies
repulsed the attacking party. Harrar,
he said, is an independent and impor-
tant center of commerce in Shoa, one of
the states Of Abyssiania, the trade of
which place passes through the hands
of the French. The commerce of Har-
rar is in no way menaced. In cOnSe-
quence of the murder of British sub
Ject small British force has gone to
Harrar to enforce respect for the British
flag. Italy, not England, M. Etienne
declared, covets Harrar, but France will
never sanction an Italian occupancy of
the place. At the afternoon session of
the chamber resolution was intro
duced to suspend for the remainder of
the session the members who created
the disorder yesterday when Nj, Joffrin
attempted to speak. The resolution was
received with murmurs of disapproval
by the members of the party of the
Right. 1t was referred to a committee.
W. SlliCllt, DOuldESlSG, questioned
the government upon the recent apolnt-
ment as magistrates of gentlemen who
were formerly deputies, but who had
failed of reelection in the recent can
vass. He thought that in appointing to
Office men whom the people had re-
jected, the government committed
itself to defiance of universal suffrage.
He considered that there was in this an
improper political use of places in the
magistracy, and that the magistracy
should remain inviolable and not be
drawn into the combinations of
party strife. NJ. TheYenet. minister
of public instruction, said that
the magistrates recently appointed were
men fully qualified for their important
duties. AS they were primarily quail
fed by legal education and practice in
the courts, they would not be likely to
lose that qualification by some ex-
perience in the chamber of deputies in
the preparation of those laws which, as
magistrates, they would have occasion
to interpret and apply. There was
much applause from the Left, and after
rejoinder from NJ. Chiche, the cham
Der adopted the order of the day APP
proving the governments declaration by
sol to 15S.

AIARGE BUSINESS.

Those who have complied the records
of embellishments the past year foot up
the large amount of 1852, 753. The
larger part of this has come from indi-
viduals, banks and private corporations.
They have been distributed pretty i'm
partially over the country, and several
state treasures have been sufferers. AS
reformers have been at the head of the
general government most of the time,
it is evident that high examples and en-
nobling precepts are insufficient to deter
these wrongdoers. The convenient
and secure resort afforded over the Can
ada line has encouraged this industry.
An eXtradition treaty may have some
restraining effects, but will not add 10
the honesty of the fiduciary agents. 1t
is matter worthy of serious considera-
ton. 1t is impossible to provide checks
and safeguards that will make it i'm
possible for this vocation to be contin-
ued. Public sentiment should be more
rigorous in its view of this class of
criminals. The genteel, well-dressed
embezzler should be put lower in the
moral scale than the coarse, ill-trained
burglar or common thief.

COURAGEOUS PREACHERS.

In Iowa the political prohibitionists
have been more successful than in this
state in utilizing the pulpit, There has
been demand made upon the sacred
desk that it shall rise up and insist upon
the retention of the precarious statute
now on the books. There are, however,
number of individual instances of in
dependence and assertion of convictions.
Rev. DR.. JOHNSON, who publishes re-
ligious paper called Church Bells,
has the courage to print and indorse the
call for business mems anti-prohibi-
lion convention, and insist that prohi-
bitiOn is not the most practical temper
ance measure. All the clergy were
called upon to preach sermon in
favor OF the law, and insist upon
IS penalties and provisions be-
ng made more stringent. Rector
MACKAY, of Council Bluffs. was
one of those who dissented from this as
sIgnment. He submitted a number of
reasons for his declination. Prohibi-
ton had been tried in his city for years,
and proved an expensive and irritating
farce. The saloon had gone on de-
family, while the people had the ex-
pense of futile law suits. His most
forcible reason was that in city the
open saloon involved far less injury to
the young men than the ''club rooms
and private drinking habits that pro-
hibition always creates" These clubs,
bootleg saloons, holes-in-the-wall, and
the back door he regarded as ''the legiti-
mate results of prohibition" The gen
tleman will most surely not be the Re-
PUBLICAN candidate for chaplain of the
legislature. ST. JOHN would not even
admit him to his church.

CIRCLING THE GLOBE

Miss NELLIE BLY, had to shut her
eye when she reached San Francisco
yesterday, and learned that snow
blockade impeded her further progress
eastward. 1t was stroke of bad luck
that caused her competitor in the race
around the world, Miss BIsLAND, to miss
the fast steamer that would have put
her into New York next Sunday. And
now it is Miss BLY's turn to lament the
fact that woman proposes but God dis
poses, for it is possible that she will lose
her race by this unprecedented snow
fall in the Sieuas, and the fact that she
has to take q roundabout way to New
York After all, there is feature of

Lord Salisbury's Treatment of
Portugal Is Justified.

LISBON, Jan. 21.-Eews has just been
received here that the governor of
Mozambique has published proclama-
ton in vindication of the rights of
Portugal to the entire Shire district. The
news has fallen like a bombshell in
Lisbon as furnishing justification for
the procedure of Lord Salisbury, and
there is consequently calmer public
ton resolved to do its utmost
to prevent or restrict all trade
or commercial intercourse with
England. The inhabitants of
Setubal, a port eighteen miles from
here. forcibly prevented Portuguese
merchant of that place from shipping
goods on an English steamer, which,
therefore, sailed without any cargo.
Many American, French and German
commercial travellers are here max
ing the most of tie opportunity
afforded to replace British goods
in Portuguese markets by goods
from the countries they represent. Sew
erai persons upon whom the British
government has at various times con-
ferred medals have returned the me-
mentoeS to the English minister.

81 Surrender

For several days past Capt. O'Shea
has been in receipt of letters of anony-
nous origin threatening his life in the
event of his continuance of his prosecu-
ton of Mr.. ParnelI as correspondent
with Mrs. O'Shea in his suit for divorce.
While of course nobody believes that
either Mr.. Parnell or any of his respon-
sible political lieutenants is cognizant
OF the letters. it is matter of regret
that they should have been written,
since they cannot fail to be used to the
disadvantage of the home rule leader
when the case shall come to trial. 1t
is stated that O'Shea is much disturbed
at the receipt of these letters, and per-
mitted their menacng tenor to frighten
him into state of uncertainty as to
whether he would not better abandon
the proceedings, and seek settlement
OF his domestic difficulty out of court.
The general opinion seems to be that
the fierce captain is quaking in his
boots, but it is not believed that the
political managers whose tool he is
will allow him to run away from the
enemy without firing a gun.

THE CENTENNIAL COMMITTEE

Speaker REEDS good star must have
been in the ascendency when he ap-
pointed that worlds fair committee,
for he did what seemed TO be a super
human achIeyement-he pleased every
body. New York is jubilant over the
construction of the committee, Chicago
is hilarious, st. Louis more than tickled.
While Washington wears broad grin.
1t doesn't often fall to the lot of a pre-
siding officer to please all conflicting
interests SO we'll as Mr.. REED has done
in this instances, Although two of the
ables+ Illinois members are On the COM
mittee, we question whether Chicago
has as much ground for Growing as
New York has Specifically, it is
fair committee, but when we get under
the surface it has decided New York
tinge. Our reasons for thinking so?
Well, in the first place, the, commit
tee stands two each for New York, Chi
cago, st. Louis and Washington, with the
ninth member hailing from Boston and
without an expressed preference. There
is rivalry between Boston and New
York, but it does not go to the extreme
of the rivalry between st. Louis and
Chicago. Boston might prefer Phila-
delDhia or Washington to New York as
the site of the worlds fair, but Boston
will never prefer Chicago to New York.
On the other hand, st. Louis, as choice
between Chicago and the deep sea for
anything, would vote for the deep sea

NOT PRACrICaRLE.

There are alluring pictures hung up
by some of the word painters and states
men, OF the possibilities of the vast con-
tinent of Africa in the developing hands
of the enlightened, trained and saga
ciouS transported natives of America of
African complexion-thati is, expatriated
Afro-Amerieans. They are to carry
the torch of civilization ali through the
dark regions that wait for them to come
and gather the boundless riches of the
land. A prophet who camper far down
the vistas of the coming ages may see
grand nation there, one of the
richest and mightiest of the time,
covering all Africa and looking back
to forefathers who emigrated from
the United States. 1t may be
easily held that in the dispersion
of the races Africa was set apart spe-
cially for the people who cannot be
tanned by its sun and have adaptations
to influences that make "reminiscences of
white people. Congo is made to do
duty IN glowing periods. 1t offers high
opportunities to colored statesmen and
capitalists, if they could be made to see
them and go, but they will have their
own way. The outlook is not inspiring
for those who look to Africa as the
theater for the development of the
negro race, For generation or more
Liberia has held out inducements to
colOred coloniSts from this country, and
special facilities have been furnished
them to reach there. Some 10000
have gone at various times and
have become the ruling class in
republic of three-quarters of a
million people. They have the form
of a republic at least, with presi-
dent, senate. and an apparent
chance for most everybody to hold of
fee. If they were capable of operating
a government and developing country
that affords easy sustenance and has
untold richness, that has been their OPP
portunity. One day the past week q
ship arrived at New York, thirty-fiye
days from Liberia. Its passengers were
American colonists who were glad to
get back to this country. The officers
of the ship reported that there was
hardly an American negro in Liberia
that was not longing to return to the
United States; most of them, however,
being destitute of the means, and al
ways will be. They were all right for
the six mouths that the emigration
society that sent them there fed them,
but when the rations ceased they were
more helpless than the average Indian
when the government stops supporting
him as pauper. The chief trouble
was that the imported people would not
work. They could pick up potato peels,
banana skins and other odds and ends
to support life, and the climate helped
them out in the clothing department.
The original natives do all the work
that is done. The country has no cur
rency, and probably no watermelons or
high-roosting poultry. In fact, the Lii
IBERIA experiment to establish a colony
of American negroes is a fiat, unquali-
fed failure. In the face of that expert
ence it would be an Improbable task to
try to persuade several millions of the
negroes in the South to migrate to
Africa, even if it were possible to trans
port them. 1t is best to ccnfine the eX-
penditures in that direction to wind.

THE AMERICAN HOG.

After a trial of about a decade in eX-
Guiding the American hog from Ger
many, the embargo is likely to be
raised. The results anticipated have
not worked out, and strong sentiment
has developed in favor of restoring the
alien swine to the privileges of the
domestic article. The original ground
of exclusion was that the American hog
was disposed to disease. 1t is admitted
now by the papers of that country that
there was small basis for this imputa-
ton. The native pork is peculiarly liza
BILE to infection and disease, vastly more
so than that from America. The SAM
tary excuse was not the true reason. 1t
was simply one Of the natural exhibit
tions of the protective policy. 1t was
thought that by shutting out the Ameri-
can hog better market could be had
for the inferior native article. The
German hog grower could make the
consumers pay higher prices for
their pork. 1t was one of the few cases
where the protective policy seemed
adapted to the interests of the farmer
He was to have possession of the home
market free from the competition of the
hog growers 5000 or 1000 miles away.
Of course this would develop the indus
try, and the German swine producers
would greatly profit by it. The system
has had a fair trial in the ten years, and.
as result, the consumption has grown
less each year. The decrease from 1888
to 1887 was from twenty eight to twenty
four pounds per head, and it is estimated
that the present average of the country
districts is only twelve pounds per cap
tia, as against 100 pounds in this coun-
try. Instead of building up great in
dustry, the monopoly given the hog grow
ers has only tended to destroy the home
market and drive pork out of use. Either
the higher prices or the dislike to the
native article. perhaps, both have oper-
ated to prevent the consumption of hog
meat. Possibly a small favored class
have been benefited, else there would
be no demand for the protection, but it
has been at the expense of the many
who were i'll able to bear the increased
burden, consequently they have been
compelled to eat cheaper food. There
is urgent and growing demand that the
prohibition shall be removed and Ameri-
can pork allowed to come in and supply
the tables with better and cheaper
meat. Whether the government Will be
Influenced to grant this, is by no means
certain, but quite probable.

AT REST IN ST. PAUL's.
Funeral OF Field Marshal Lord
Napier of MagdaIa.


LONDON, Jan. 21.-The funeral of
Field Marshal Lord Napier of Magdala
took place to-day. The body was buried
in st. Paul's cathedral. There was a
military procession from the tower of
London, of which Lord Napier was con-
stable, to the cathedral. The queen and
other members of the royal family sent
Wreaths. The Prince of Wales, the
Duke of Cambridge and other high Off
GERS of the British army and members
OF the diplomatic corps received the
colin at the grand porticO of the cathe-
dral. The funeral of Lord Napier was
marked by military pageant which, i'll
respect OF extent and splendor, has
been equaled but once in very many
years, and this on the occasion of the
queens jubilee. From an early hour in
the morning every available part of st.
PauPs cathedral was crowded with per-
sons eager to secure place from where
they could witness the ceremonies
within. The famous "whiSpering gal
lery' of the edifce was crammed al
most to sutfocation, and all attempts to
eject persons whose right to be there
was questionable. in order to admit
those better entitled to the privilege,
were abandoned as hopeless, because of
the manifest imposSibility of either be-
Ing able to pass through the compact
throng. The number of exalted per-
sonages was remarkably large and at
tested the emlnence of esteem in which
the dead field marshal was held,

PLUCKY PORTUGUESE.

The war speck on the European hori-
ION is larger now than it has been for a
long time. The demonstration at Lisbon
yesterday, when 4,000leading merchants
of that city paraded the streets clamcr-
ing for war with England, signifies that
the war feeling in Portugal is at fever
heat; and it is possible that the Portu-
gueSe government may not be able to
longer withstand the local pressure. If
left to themselves to fight it out England
would make short work of demolishing
Portugal,a land the Portuguese authorities
understand this well enough. 1t is not
probable, however, that England will be
allowed to fight Portugal single-handed.
There are too many complications in
European affairs to make such q
thing possible. The moment that
war is declared Portugal will find
hackers enough, and the chances
are that when the struggle would be
ended the map of Europe would have
undergone good many changes. The
outbreak of a war between any two
European countries would result in the
explosion of mine under the entire
continent. Still. on this side of the
water, we can afford to look on the stu
alton with a degree of complaeency; for
when Europe becomes involved in war
the products of American soil and
American factories will have boom in
prices.

on every ballot. Chicago's only chance
to win strength on that committee is to
capture the two Washington delegates,
and even they would not be enough to
assure victory, while the probability is
that one or both of them would vote for
New York as second choice. Chicago's
main chance for victory is to get the
business out of the hands Of the COM
mittee and put it back into the house.
There is Chicago's stronghold. Give
her the whole field for operations, Chi

round, but when it comes to maxim G the
