EUROPEAN TARIFF.
THE NEW FRENCH DUTIES WORSE THAN
THE M,KlNLEY BILL.

The Idea of an Aggressive Tariff War
Against the United States Given Up as
Visionary France Working Against
Both Austria and Germany.
tooPYRIGHT, 1890, BY TIKI NEW YORK ASSOCIATED
PRESS,
BERLIN, November 1.-The com mission
on the tariff question, presided over by Herr
Won Boetticher, Minister of the Interior,
has concluded its consideration of the pro-
posed Austro- German customs union. The
report of the commission has not been
published, pending the progress of negotia-
tlons with Austria, but its conclusions are
known to disfavor both an extensive revision
OF the customs ana combined action In the
way of reprisals for the American and
French tariffs.
aThe new French tariff is heavier blow
bv far than the Mckinley law against the
Austro- Hungarian export trade, for, wht te
the French measure does not affect Germany,
expectation from Austria to France is al
most destroyed by the new tariff. Wood,
sheep, corn, -four, fresh and salt meat and
beef are chiefly affected, the increase in the
duties being practically prohibitive. Aus
TRAN newspapers declare that the French
Government, in drafting the bill, directly
aimed at frustrating all attempts toward
closer commercial relations between Ger
m any and Austria.
The Government does not come near Aus
tria's wishes, so far as joint reprlsals ior
the Mckinley tariff bill are concerned, an
official inquiry having shown conclusively
that such action was an imposslblllty. The
Cologne Gazette commenting upon the stu.
alton, declares that the Liea of a tariff wal
against America is entirely visionary, and
that the difficulties in realizing such pro.
ject are insurmountable.

RoUsING PATTlsoN MEETING IN CARNEGIE
HALL.

Glorious Old Tom Wants Governor Pure
and Fearless - Some Telling Speeches
and Great Prospects for Tuesdays
Finale-An Audience Worth Talking To.
Carnegie Hall, Allegheny, was the scene
of rousing Pattison rally last night. Early
the enthusiastic Independents and Demo-
Gratis began to gather, and when Organist
Wales had finished the overture on the
grand organ and had captured few votes
with his campaign smile, the hall was well
filled. It was an audience that pleases a
politician Every one present was voter.
"Glorieus Old Tom Marshall entered the
hail while Colonel John A. banks was
speaking. The people caught sight of their
beloved old patriarch striding up the aisle,
and shout went up. Colonel Danks
was eclipsed entirely and the audience was
therefore uneasy until his speech was ended
and "Glorious Old Tom" took the floor.
Mr. Marshall said he was 6S years of age
and had not long to linger here, but be
wanted to vote for man who would be a
Governor pure and fearless over friends he
would leave behind. He did not want to
have a Governor who is the tool of another
man, but Governor who owns himself, and
that is Robert E. Pattison.
He referred to the statements that Grant,
Garfield and Lincoln were maligned, and
asked if they compared Delamater with those
grand leaders Of the whole people. Recit-
ing Pattison's acts when Governor, in call
ing in cash and putting it in bonds, on cor
porations, etc., he said Governor should be

LoNDoN's GROWTH.
1t is Quite as Remarkable as That of Amcri-
can Cities.

1t is Quite as Remarkable as That of Ameri-
can Cities.
From the Century,
We are too frequently disposed to think
of the rapid growth of our American cities
as merely incidental to the settlement of
new country. and to regard the Euro
pean cities as old and stationary. 1t
is true that their nuclei are ancient,
but so far as the greater part of their
built-up area is concerned they are almost
or quite as new as the American cities.
They, like our own population centers. have
grown unprecedently in recent decades as
the result of modern transportation and in
dustrial systems. Thus London to-day is
five times as large as it WAS at the opening
of the present century. From 900, 600 at
that time, the population of London grew
to /, SOC, 900 in 1880; and by 1856 it had in
creased to 2, SOC, 900. Since 1855 it has more
than doubled.
The present sovereign has witnessed gain
OF 200 per cent or more since she began to
reign. There are three or four dwelling
houses now for every one that was visible at
the date of her coronation. In the past 40
years from 1000 to 2, 500 miles of new streets
have been formed in London. Who, study
ing the growth OF foreign cities, can doubt
the continued growth of our own? London
is not an exception. All the other great
towns of England have grown up as if by
magic within this century.
The same statement applies to those of
the continent. Paris is five times as large
as it was in the year 1900; Berlin has
grown much more rapidly than Paris;
Vienna has expanded marvelously since
1910. An examination of the causes which
have built up these European centers easily
justifes the judgment that none of our 20
leading American cities has begun to
approach its maximum size.

An Estimate of the American Statesman's
Character.
Salt Lake Tribune.1
James G. Blaine has great many friends
and a few enemies in the United States.
But there is one thing about him that friends
and enemies both agree upon, and that is
that be has no equal as a speaker before tine
American people. He is the most typical
American alive. He can out-talk any ten
other Americans, and he has a way of con-
vincing people when he talks.
There is a charm about him which draws
mems hearts to him, and, while walking
and looking and talking like King, there
is something in the soul OF the man that
draws to him the hearts of all
who are brought in close accord with
him. He is 10 the American people
what Henry Clay was so years ago, and
it takes about so years to produce
one such man. He will probably never be
Presidentiof the United States, but il he
never is he will pass into history in that au-
gust company with Webster and Clay and
Calhoun and Wright and Clinton and a
whole array of other men, on the grave
stones Of each one of whom shall be written:
ga great man was he, too great to ever be
President of the United States.

The Graphic Story of Old California
Pioneer of Al.
November Century,
On leaving Weston, where they had been
so much opposition, we were six or seven in
number, and nearly half the town followed
us for a mile, and some for five or six
miles, TO bid us goodby, show
ing the deep interest felt IN our
journey. All expressed good wishes and
desired to hear from us. When we reached
Sapling Grove, the place of rendezvous, In
May, 1841, there was but one wagon ahead
of us. For the next few days one or two
wagons would come each day, and among
the recruits were three families from Ar
kansas.
Everyone furnished his own supplies. The
party consisted of SO, including men,
women and children. Our teams were of
oxen, mules and horses. We had no cows,
as the later emigrants usually had, and the
lack of milk was great deprivation to
the children. 1t was understood that
everyone should have not less than
barrel of -four with sugar and
so forth to suit; but laid in 100 pounds of
-four more than the usual quantity, besides
other things. This 1 did because we were
told that when we got into the mountains
we probably would get out of bread and
have to live on meat alone, which thought
would kill me even il it did not others.
My gun was an old fint-lock rife, but
good one. Old hunters told me to have
nothing to do with cap or percussion locks.
that they were unreliable. and that If I got
my caps or percussion wet / could not shoot,
while if lost my flint 1 could pick up
another on the plains. doubt whether
there was 500 in money in the whole party,
but all were enthusi astic and anxious to go.

.srKcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH:
PHILADELPHIA, November 1.-Actor
Daniel Suly, "the millionaire" through
his counsel, Eugene Raymond and John
A. W. Alvord, to-day issued an attachment
under the fraudulent debtors act against M.
B.Curtis, Samuel OF Posen, who closed to-
night in. the "Shatchen," at the Grand
Opera House.
Samuel of Posen is charged with frandu,

of Posen sold the millionaire some Gala

Sully claims that in June, 1887, while ne
was playing an engagement at the Bush
Street Theater, San Francisco, Curtis In
vited him to go on hunting expedition to
Berkeley, Alameda county. Sully ae-
cepted. While at Berkeley Curtis showed
him plan of considerable tract OF land
of which he claimed to be the owner, and
stated that he was going to break it
up into building lots and lay out
city to be called Posenville.
Curtis, Sully says. pointed out particularly
two lots, which were to be at the corner OF
Posenville and Main streets. and railroad,
which was, Curtis said, to connect Posen-

to let Sully in on the ground floor because
he wanted some good actors to give the place
tone. Sully bought the two lots at $500
apiece and paid Curtis $500. Sully claims
that he then left California but kept up
years correspondence with Curtis. ell
deavoring to get the titles to his corner
lots. About year after paving or the lots
Sully again met Curtis in California, and
for the first time, he claims, Curtis informed
him that he (Curtis) did not own the
ground, explaining that he had expected to
own it, but that the California owner re-
fused to convey it to him.

RAvAGEs OF THE NUN MOTH.
Bavarian Forests Attacked by the Pests and
Destroyed.
London News.1

DesUrOycu.
London News1
From various parts of Bavaria come
alarming news of the destructive ravages of
the nun moth. For a couple of centuries
or more the forests on the Continent have
been attacked by these pests at long inter-
walls; but never, it would seem, with more
disastrous results than at present. The forest
department of the Ministry of Finance re-
ports that the plague extends over nearly
all Bavaria south of the Danube, and so
great is the fertility of the insect that no
measures of destruction are of any avail. 1t
attacks CHIEFLY the pine and fir with which
Bavarian forests abound, but does not de-
spise the beech, oak and other forest trees,
and is even known to feed on shrubs and
garden plants. 1t never attacks corn or
wheat, and there Is one tree it will not touch,
namely, the horse chestnut.
The means of destruction are various.
Forest bonfres are one. The insects are at
tracted by the fire and are smotnered in the
smoke, but only comparatively small
number are killed. Children and boys are
also sent out TO destroy the insects. But
the only really efficient general measure
seems to be the cutting down of the whole
forests when much infested.

EXTERMINATING SEALS.
A Very Different Policy In Danish Wa ters
From That in Behring Sea.

A Very Different Policy in Danish Wa ters
From That in Behring Sea.
Newcastle, Eng, Chronicle.1
The seal is being rapidly exterminated in
Danish waters by direct encouragement of
the authorities. Rewards of three kroner
for the head of each seal killed, paid by the
Fishing Society of Denmark, is leading to the
energetic hunting and slaughter of these AMI
mails. The reason for this course is that the
seals are alleged to destroy the fish, on which
SO many Of the population depend for food
and employment, and DR.. Fedderson, the
Secretary of the Fishing Society, has issued
a map showing those parts of the coast
where, owing to the prevalence of seals, the
fishing industry is rapidly decaying.
On the other hand, where seal hunting has
been most energetic, the catch Of fish during
the past summer was much in excess OF
former years. and fishermen are being en-
couraged, by hope Of reward as we'll as ap-
peals to selfinterest, to clear these animals
out of the Danish waters. So effective is
the appeal thus made that on the little
islandof Hessels alone no less than $40 seals
have been destroyed within the ten months
during which the reward has been paid.

ESPECIAL rELEGuAM TO TIE pIsPArcH.I
NEW YORK, November 1.-Beginning
this week there will be placed authoritatively
before the American people the detailed
facts regarding the material and political
crisis with which the Irish nation finds
itself onfronted. The political side of the
question will be presented with force and
eloquence by the members oil the Irish COM
mittee. most of whom will arrive tomorrow
on La Champagne of the French line. The
members of this committee are John Dillon,
William O'Brien, T. P. OConnor, 7. P.
Sullivan, Timothy Harrington and T. P
Gill. Mr.. Gill is already here. Messrs.
Dillon, O'Brien, Sullivan and Harrington
will come in on the City of New York, ar
rivlng Wednesday.
The plan OF campaign in general outline
is this: The full delegation will visit to-
gether the great cities of the country and
address public meetings. After that, mem-
bers of the delegation will go in pairs to the
smaller cities until the country has been
pretty thoroughly canvassed. Then, prob
ably, three months hence, the entire delega-
tion will go to Canada on similar errand.
THE MISSION IN CANADA.
Of course great interest attaches to the
latter part Of the programme both in view
OF the violent reception which some of the
members met with in Canada on their last
visit few years ago and because Dillon
and O'Brien are fugitives from justice and
are liable to arrest the moment they set foot
OH British soil.
The first public appearance OF the delega-
tion in this country will be at Philadelphia
next Thursday. The Academy of Music,
the largest auditorium in town, was secured
for the purpose some time ago, but already
the demand for seats is more than twice as
| great as the capacity Of the building, and it
has been arranged to repeat the speeches at
second meeting, to be held in the same
place on Friday evening. On Sunday next
| the delegates will speak in Boston's biggest
theater. The same news about the demand
| Tor tickets comes from Boston, and it has
| been found necessary to hire two theaters in
stead OF one, and to carry on meetings SIM
| ultaneously in both theaters. The first New
York meeting will be held on November 10.
A WARM RECEPTION PROMISED.
The delegates will be warmly welcomed
on their arrival tomorrow. A large party
of representatives OF all the principal Irish
societies will go down the bay early to-mor-
row morning on the steamer John e. Moore,
and the visitors will be taken off La Cham
| payne at quarantine.
The party will land at the foot of West
| Twenty-third street and will go to the Hof-
man House. The delegates will rest during
the day, and in the evening a reception will
| be given them at the hotel. An address on
behalf Of the Irish societies will be presented
to the visitors.

new iron Mallory steamship Leona, which
had arrived this morning from Galveston,
Tex, with a crew of IS men and 16 pas
sengers, and cargo of $500 bales of cotton.
First and second officers James Riley and

of the frebell, and they hurried the only
two women aboard ashore and took them to
the United States Hotel.
Seven fire engines pumped water into the
burning hold, which was like raging fur
mace. At midnight il was decided to scut-
tie the burning vessel just where she was,
berthed alongside the pier, as the fire could
not otherwise be controlled. 1t WIS re-
ported that one of the crew was asleep on
board the vessel, but this report could not
be confirmed.

BERLIN, November IA communica-
tion which appears in the official press, de-
nying curtly that the Kaiser took any step
whatever to induce Prince Bismarck to
come to the Moltke fetes, suggests no iessening
of the Imperial animus. The Bureau of tie
Oberhaus sent an invitation to Bismarck as
a member of that body, but the eI-Chancel-
lor told his friends that, while he would re-
spond to an invitation from the Kaiser, he
could not mingle with the Imperial circle
unless he was made welcome.
An article in the Hamburger Nachrichten,
clearly the Princes own, refers to the ex-
ultant bowling of his enemies, and declares
that the calumnies will be regarded with
contempt by all right-fceIlng people.
