French Spoliation Claims,

Ihe House Committee on Claims la, decided
to report to the House a bill providing for the
payment OF the celebrated French >poliation
claims. 1t is estimated that il will require an
appropriation Of between eight and ten million
dollars. The Congressional history Of these
claims dates back TO the year 1S02. when they
were first reported to the House by Mr.. t1Nc>

their investigation. They We're again reported

out of the destruction of property by French
vessels, previous attacks having been made
upon French commerce by American cruisers,

arms against France, and that country. indig-

One of the points which the free raw mate
rial men are trying to make is that if the man
ufactures of wool were free it would have
larger market. A few facts unmask this de-
fusion. The aggregate amount of the imports
of wooden goods by all countries of the world,
excluding the United States, does not exceed
$4,000 900 per annum. The value of wooden
goods manufactured in the United States is
nearly $500 900 600 year and our imports are
ever $4,000, 900 more In other words if we
could capture all the foreign markets that are
open to anybody, they would be worth only
$50 900, 900 year, while our home market is
worth nearly $500 100000.

WHY DID HE WRITE Ire
This is a Conundrum Asked About Clev,
lands Letter to Acres

This is a Conundrum Asked About Cleve-
lands Letter to Acres
WASHINGTON, November o6th.-A great
many people in Washington are inquiring
why Cleveland wrote that letter to Acres of
Kansas City, unless he wanted it pub
lished. He and Acres are not intimate
friendS-they are not even acouaintances.
He never saw Acres in his life and knew
nothing about him except that he had
letter from Acres, and felt moved to answer
it. Upon what principle of good taste or
expediency did Cleveland proceed to un-
cork the vials Of mis- secret feelings and
empty them into the bosom of the un-
known Acres?
Only a little more than two years ago
Cleveland had occasion to pronounce a
very severe Judgment upon a gentleman
named Sackville West, who answered a
letter from stranger in Los Angeles. How
is it that we find him indulging in that
same blunder himself
The probabilities are that Cleveland
thought his letter to Acres a mighty fine
thing when he wrote it, and contemplated
with equinamity, il not with pleasure, the
prospect of its getting into print. Public
comment, however, has changed his mind
as TO the performance, and now he is
jumping on Acres for doing exactly what
he might have been expected TO do. That
gentleman, no doubt, honestly thought he
was carrying out his correspondents inten-
tions. At any rate, it will help Ingalls, in
his fight for SenatorshIp in the opinion of
politicians in Washington.

Two Shots Fired at Chinaman by a
Fellow-Countryman,

Two Shots Fired at ChInaman by a
Fenow-Countryman.
SAN Francisco, November 26th.-Ah
Tuck, a Chinese tailor employed by w.
Conn at 325 Battery street, narrowly es-
capped death at the hands of fellow.coul-
tryman this morning while on his way to
work. He passed the corner of CONNER
cial and Kearny streets about 7:15, and
Just before he reached the latter street, q
highbinder who afterward gave the name
of All Lee, sprang from doorway where
he had been hiding, and TO the most COM
ple.e surprise of Tuck, fired shot at him.
Tuck started TO run and was followed 8
short distance by the Mongolian ruffian,
who sent another bullet after his intended
victim, who was, however, unharmed. Lee
then turned and ran as though pursued by
imps up Commercial street 10 Dupont, to
Clay. 10 Waverly place and into Oneida
place. He rushed into house on the lat
ter alley and proceeding to sleeping room,
jumped into bunk and covered himself
with the clothing. There he was found by
officer Harris and driver Farmar of the
police patrol. who had heard heshots, seen
the man run and Immediately started in
pursuit.
Lee told his captors that he lived there,
and had been in the bunk all night, de-
spite the fact that he could hardly talk for
want of breath. The residents of the
place, however, gave him the lie when
questioned; they said they had never seen
him before. Accordingly he was marched
TO the city prison, and booked for assault
to murder.
Tuck, the man who was shot at, bears,
for Chinaman, frst-class reputation.
He belongs to none of the societies, and is
peaceful and law-abiding. He asserts that
he never saw Lee before, and can't imagine
why he should have been selected as tar
get, unless the prisoner had been hired to
murder some one else and made mistake
in his man

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Master Workman POwderly Wants to
Affiliate with the Alliance.

Affiliate with the Alliance.
New YORK, November 26th.-The Sun
says word has been received in this city
that Master Workman Powderly and a
committee of knights of Labor would be
at Ocala, Fla, next Tuesday at the Conven-
ton of the Farmers Alliance. 1t has been
understood since election day that Pow
derly and his chief men of the knights of
Labor would make every effort to obtain
recognition at the Convention. They have
now definitely determined 10 present them
selves and ask 10 be permitted to join issues
with the Alliance. Powderly and his as
sistant leaders think the best thing the
Knights can do is to join hands with the
Alliance on all questions and propositions
advanced by it.
There is decided objection on the part
of the Alliance 10 Powderly's securing re.
cruits for his organization from among the
farm hands. There would be danger that
these farm hands would organize divisions
of their own among the Knights, and under
the inspiration of Powderly insist on
higher wages and shorter hours. The
owners OF farms do not propose TO have any
strikes among their hands, particularly at
harvest times. With these facts in view,
ii is believed that the Alliance will turn
cold shoulder to Powderly.
GLASS WORKERS OBJECT.
PITTsBURG, November 26th.-A sensation

ers' Assembly, one of the strongest organi-
cations in the country, proposes to take

Labor, should that Order Join hands with

Reasons Assigned tor Its Failure to Pay
Interest etc.

New YORK, November 26th.-The Di,
rectors of the Oregon Improvement Com
pany, in a circular issued to the stock
holders, showing why the company is in
an embarrassed condition, says "The
Seattle fire, the depression following the
real estate excitement in the West, and the
consequent falling off in the earnings OF
the Southern California route, the decrease
in the coal business on account of fires in
the mines and the labor troubles, and the
loss of the coal contract with the Oregon
Railway and Navigation Company, are
among the causes. There is now a float
ing debt of 100000. The short time and
demand for loans, and the tightening
money market, made it impossible to raise
the money to pay this. and we found it
impossible to provide for the sinking and
interest fund payment on the first mortgage
bonds. In order to prevent attachments
on the property in Oregon it was thought
best to temporarily place the property in
the hands of a receiver"

ALASKAN FUR INDUSTRY.
Professor Elliott VIII Present Report
on the subject.


WASHINGTON, November 26th.-Prof H.
R. Elliott of the Smithsonian Institution
will present q report TO Congress, on reas-
sembling, on the Alaskan fur industry.
Professor Elliott. it is understood, will rec
ommend that the catch of fur seals at
American reokeries be suspended for seven
years. This, he considers, is absolutely
necessary for the preservation of seals from
annihilation. At the present time he esti-
mates there are only 100000 seals in
american waters. The continued depreda-
tions upon them by pirates and otherwise,
have reduced the number so much that
hardly a sufficient number remain for
breeding. The utmost care, be considers,
is necessary to preserve the few that re-
main. or else the magnificent industry will
become extinct. 1t was on account of Pro-
fessor Elliott's knowledge of the fur-seal
industry that he was especially designated
by Congress to visit Alaska and make a re-
port on the subject.

Prize-Fiebters Arrested.

ASTORIA, November 26th-On account
of statement by the Chief of Police last
night that he would arrest Charles Gleason
and Cannon should they engage in prize
fight, it was agreed the men should spar
ten rounds for the entertainment of the
Astoria Athletic Club, the referee to order
sn additional round until the question
of superiority was decided. The an
nouncement was made that no money
prize was offered and police interference
prevented.
The affair was one-sided, Cannon rely.
ing on his right swing, but failing to de-
liver the blow. Up to the fourteenth
round there was not much hitting, but in
the sixteenth, Gleason succeeded in getting
his opponent groggy, and in the seven
teenth he was knocked down, exhausted
by repeated ft.handers from Gleason. The
principals were afterward arrested and re.
leased on depositing $500.
