The tag assessor for this district called
on tue good people of Detroit Wtdnes-
dav morning. and going to the land com
pany's headquarters inquired The price oi
lots. TIE gentleman in charge brought
forth his maps and plats and divers other
things made and provided tor such oc-
casions. and proceeded to give the prices
OF real estate in different parts OF the CITY;
not forgetting of course TO say that the
lots were dirt cheap at the prices asked
and would be worth double the money III
a week if not sooner. The assessor lis
tened attentively for while and when
the opportunity came to sandwich III
word of explanation he smiingly stated
the object of his visit. To say that the
holder of such vast and valuable real es-
tate was Just little surprised would
hardly express it. He was completely
knocked out in the first round, and when
asked how many lots he had and what
value the assessor placed on them be an
swered with look of utter disgust that
he didn't own a lot in town aud hau
never heard Of anybody that Gid. And as
a matter of fact the assessor was not able
to fl nd man in town who would admit
that he owned a foot Of land there. The
only trace Of ownership lie secured was
a statement that IA land company owned
some lots in the place, but where the
land company could be found the infor-
mant did not know. Great is Detroit!

Wide Differences of Opinion on the Subject
Of the American Tariff.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, Aug. 31.-The chief topic OF dis
cussion in the French press continues to be
the tariff dispute with America The arti-
cles show q great variety of opinion as to
the proper course to be pursued by the gov
eminent. Some of the writer's advocate q
bold policy of self-protection. regardless of
possible retaliation by the United States,
while others betray an almost ludicrous
terror lest France should lose the American
custom for some of her most important
products. These latter beseech the govern
ment not to do anything to anger the
Washington government Among the
former class of journals is La Liberte,
which says that the resolution in the
American Senate. authorizing the Presi-
dent to exclude the products of any coun-
try that discriminates against American
products. is nonsense, as America could
never do without French wines, and the
test against being deprived of that and
France. The whole topic is burning one
for French producers The English mer-
chandiee marks act has greatly injured
French trade with Great Britain, as French
goods can no longer be sold as English man
ufacture, and the American tariff bill has
put the French In still unhappier frame

Potatoes, General Failure.

The Peasantry's Principal Food Product,
Potatoes, General Failure.
LONDON, Aug. 31.-The prospect for the
peasantry in the districts affected by the
potato blight in Ireland grows more grim
and dismal as the summer wanes. This
week has been issued a report of the land
commissioners dealing with the question
up to Aug. 15 The spread of the blight
has been even more general than has been
supposed. 1t is only II Down, Tyrone, Tip
perary, Dublin, Queens. County West
meath and small part OF Donegal that the
commissioners declare that the crop PROM
Uses an average yield. and it is remarked
that it is in these counties that potatoes
arc cultivated for sale.
The disease Is spreading rapidly and the
prospect Is very bad indeed In Clare. West
Clare, East Cork. Macroom, Bandon, Skib-
bereen and Clonskilty. An absolute fail
ure in poor land is how the commissioners
describe the prospects. In Kerry, we are
told. the crop will be below an q average, the
result depending very much on the weather,
which. since these returns were compiled,
has shown no signs of Improvement. On
the sea-coast the crop will be much below
the average. In the Leinster counties, Car
low, Kilkenny. Kings, Longford and part
of Meath, the crop is below the
average, and the commissioners re-
port that the wet weather will cause
the disease to spread rapidly. and, as it has
rained heavily ever since. the prospect is
now, of course. more serious. In Louth the
crop is very doubtful. In Wexford. gener-
ally speaking. growth has ceased and must
result in a crop of small and unmatured
tubers. In the west aud southwest of
Wicklow the crop will be much below the
average. OF the Connaught counties in
Galway. in good. well-farmed land. the dis
ease is not serious; on poor and badly
farmed land the tops are black and much
spotted, and growth appears checked, the
tubers also being affected. OF Mayo tho
commissioners report very much below the
average.
The disease is general throughout. The
distress appears worse along the sea-coast,
where potatoes planted In the fog were
much damaged by early frosts The effect
of the blight has been almost to destroy the
crop. In some cases the stalks are black
ened and withered up. but the tubers are
not as yet affected. except in rare instances.
but are generally very small and immature.
. Owing TO the blight setting in unusually
early. the tubers in many instances will be
absolutely unfit for human food. In the
poorer. badly cultivated districts the crop
will be an entire failure

Transatlantic Steamers Crowded to Over
flowing with Returning Americans.

Transatlantic Steamers Crowded to Over
flowing with Returning Americans.
LONDON, Aug. 31.-Never in the history of
transatlantic travel has there been snch a
rush to secure berths for voyage to New
York as at the present time. The tide of
travel has Just turned. and from all parts
of Europe the Americans are fockiDg to-
ward London for the voyage home. Those
who neglected to secure return passage
early in the summer are in sorry plight.
and there are at least one thousand Ameri-
cans in London to-day, who would be on
the way home if they were able to secure
passage for the voyage across.
Travellers returning from the continent
report the same overflow ofStravel in all
parts of Europe. One gentleman informed
me that, leaving Dresden on Tuesday even
ing. there were forty-seven American ap-
plicants for sieeping-car privileges over the
available number of berths on that single
train, and the Paris hotels are at present
over-crowded with returning Americans
insomuch that beds are being prt into the
parlors and smoking-rooms. This is the
biggest year on record of American travel
IN Europe, according to the agents of the
steamship lines, exceeding even last year,
have brought over the greatest number. 1t
is really a serious matter for great many
who have calculated their expenses closely,
and now find that the only possible method
of getting back to America within month
is to pay large advance for officers rooms
on the steamers, while even this resource
is inadequate
The Hamburg American line, whose
steamers sail from Southampton, is full
officers quarters and all, up to Oct. g. The
North German Lloyd, from the same port,
has everything booked. with the exception
of one or two officers rooms and a few Ordi-
nary rooms. until Sept q. Everything is
taken on the Imam White Star lines MP to
Oct. and 8, respectively. The Cunard line
has a few berths on steamers for Boston
toward the end of September. and none at
all on vessels for New York; and the Guion
and Anchor lines have only few berths
left from the middle of September onw ard
There has always heretofore been oppor-
tunity to take berths that have been given
up at last moment on vessels at the moment
of sailing. but even this recourse is over
crowded at present. since some hundreds of
Americans are at present waiting in Liver
pool TO seize this chance. and but few can
be accommodated. and the same state of az
fairs exists at Glasgow. where all the berths
! on the transatlantic steamers are taken.
