the decree recently issued on behalf of the
Companhia merchantile of Para, levying q tax
of per cent upon all rubber exported from
the province. The New York commercial COM

W. r. Grace said the action of the Para gov

that he had received Mr.. Grace came to WASH

manufacturers of rubber in this country, and
laid a petition before Secretary Blaine urging
the government to use its influence to secure

representations influenced the decision of the

Stock Exchange Mem bers Disciplined,

Stock Exchange Members Disciplined.
The governors Of the New York stock ex-
change yesterday dealt out Wall street Justice
to George II. Bend and L. Schepp, the members
who had the row over sugar trust certificates.
Both were suspended ten days. Mr. Bend and
Mr.. Schepp got excited over the merits of the
sugar trusts certificates and in the course of
events MIR. Schepp said Mr.. Bend talked like
fool" Thereupon Mr.. Bend promptly
thumped Mr.. Schepp. Afterward Mr.. Bend
apoiogized and this was satisfactory to Mr..
Schepp. But the exchange took it up and the
governors have decided that Mr.. Schepp's re-
mark was just as bad as Mr.. Bends fist

Saving BY a Dead Lock,

From the Helena fMont.) Indepe ndent.
Even dead locks have their good points if you
only look at them right. The Portland ives,
Shore says: ''The silver lining to Montana's po-
litical cloud is beginning to appear. 1t seems
that already the two Dakotas have bankrupted
their treasures, and the Washington legisla-
ture is apparently on the high road to do the
same for that state. Montana's legislature, be
ing unorganized, can make no appropriate ms,
and this may save the state treasury from hope
less wreck. 1t will not be long before Wash
ington and the Dakotas will covet Montana's
little political rumpus."

report that the Comte de Paris on the termina-

return to London, but will visit the United
States, where he will remain two months or
until the anti-British feeling now prevailing in
Portugal is appeased. The report says that the

Portugal. and who holds intimate relations with
the British court, deems it best at the present
juncture to take trip abroad.

PLOT TO BEAT ALLISON.
Iowa Democrats Scheming to Unseat
Sixteen Republicans.

Des Moines Special to Philadelphia Press.
The most sensational scene that has ever oc-
Cured In the Iowa Legislature took place in the
house yesterday, when the republicans exposed
the democratic motive for the deadlock 1t
had been rumored that the democrats would
try to unseat members if given a chance and
then proceed to elect a democratic Senator in
place of Senator Allison, repeal prohibition,
and carry things with high hand through the
session. The republican members all come
from districts that the democrats claim are I'M
constitutional, not having, it is alleged, the
requisite ratio Of population. The democrats
have ridiculed the idea that any such scheme
was intended, but the republicans discovered
that this argument Of unconstitutionality was
being used in the petition prepared by Mr..
Lehman, the democratic candidate for tempo
rary clerk in the contest for one of the repub-
llcan seats, in which contest he appears as
attorney for one OF the contestants.
The republicans therefore determined to
force the democrats to show their hand today
So. in carefully prepared speeches, they at
tackled the democratic position and boldly as
serted that it was the democratic intention, if
given the speakership, to carry out this revo-
lutionary proceeding. There was great excite
ment on both sides of the house and the repub-
lIcans provoked the democrats till one of them
hOcnklsS OF DAVIS county. walked into the
trap and boldly announced that he did not be-
heve that any member elected for the gerry
wandered districts should be seated. The re-
publicans then said that there could be no
more conference between them on any arrange
ment looking to give the democrats the speaker
ship, for they knew it would be used III a revo-
lutionary way. Hotchkiss quickly replied that
if he were speaker he would agree to leave the
roll as it ID.
CAUGHT IN TRAP.
'Will you put that in writing?" shouted the
republicans.
''Yes, will, !" he answered
will your colleagues also stand by it?" was
the next question.
''Yes, they will" cried Hotchkiss, land I call
upon them all to rise and show that they in
tend no trickery." Then turning toward the
democrats he shouted: Stand up, gentlemen, ~
but not man arose.
Your silence confirms my charge" said Mr.
Blythe, the republican leader, while the specta-
tors and republicans cheered to the echo.
Hotchkiss was a greenbacker who was elected
by fusion with the democrats, but he had not
been taken into the democrats secret and un-
Intentionally placed them in a position where
they dare not affirm and could not deny
The democratic plot to unseat sixteen men,
bers IL the talk OF the state, and the republi-
cans are determined now to resist any over
lures that would give the democrats an oppor-
tunity to carry out that plot.

FRENCH COMMUNISM.

lie said, was born in the hottest Of holy causes.

consideration of the events and causes which
led TO the establishment of the commune or
village governments OF France.
The poor peasants. driven to desperation by
the terrors OF feudalism. feltit an imposslbility
that humanity could survive under such sys-
tenn. and, as the year 1000 approached, the
opinion spread and became fixed that the first
hour of the new century, marked by
prophetic cipher, would be the last of
humanity. If the world thought its end
at hand it was because it saw evil
everywhere and the remedy nowhere. Yet at
the moment when humanity seemed 70 have
reached the depths of the abyss 1t began to
rise. New powerB appeared OH the surface
that destroyed the world of injustice and vio-
lence. Under such conditions. IN the throes of
death and Ill blood, was born the French COM
mune and they have been the most active and
determining eleme ut IN the process OF French
civilization. The communal governments es-
ablished then did not claim community of
goods, but that community OF sentiment essen
tial to an independent local government freed
from the despotism OF the feudal lords. Yet in
that grand and honorable struggle the germs
OF modern French communism were planted
and the seed time of 1889 gave the world the
saddest picture of anarchy and slaughter, in

OUR LOS ANGELES LETTER.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-
At last the long dry season has
come to an end, and we are having
light rain this morning. This change
is very acceptable to the farmers
and horticulturists in the rural dis
tricts. The orange crop of Southern
California promises to be abundant
and excellent. In the neighborhood
of San Diego some of the oranges
are already ripe, but in this city and
vicinity the fruit is just beginning
to turn from green to yellowish
tint, and has not yet reached the
golden color of full maturity.
Banana trees are much priced in
Los Angeles on account of their
beautiful foliage, but scarcely any
of the delicious fruit ripens here ;
for the reason that some frosts
usually occur in January and Febru-
ary. Honolulu bananas, shipped to
San Francisco, are seldom brought
to Los Angeles and the few inferior
punches found in this market come
from the West Indies and South
America, by way of New Orleans.
This fact may be worthy of the
attention of Honolulu merchants.
1t Is understood that a line of
steamers will soon commence run
ming between the Hawaiian Islands
and San Diego, which is very much
nearer to Los Angeles than is the
port OF San Francisco. Shipments
of bananas of good quality would
find a ready sale here.
We have had three elections with
in a short period. An election for
governor and other state officers
took place early in November. Soon
after, the citizens were again sum-
moned to the polls, and by a large
majority voted in favor of closing
the liquor saloons on Sundays. Two
days ago the regular municipal elec.
ton took place, and Mayor Hazard
was reelected for another year. In
all these elections Republican voters
were entirely successful although
on the question of Sunday closing
they were aided by the better ele'
ment In other parties.
II Is believed that immense gas
and oil beds are underneath this
city. by systematic boring = plenli-
ful supply could doubtless be OBJ

San Francisco papers, might as
well make up their Hawaiian news
from the BULLETIN exclusively and
be sure of having it right, instead
of publishing items filtered through
erratic imaginations. The Chroni-
Gle says:
After several warm discussions
the Legislature passed bill grant
ing members the privilege of smok-
ing during the sessions.
This will likely go the rounds,
until the Hawaiian Kingdom will
have worldwide reputation of hav-
ing ''smoking legislature" and the
humorists will add that it's proceed
ings usually lend in smoke" The
fact is that only at the four night
sittings, held in the closing days of
the session, was the rule of the
House prohibiting smoking sus-
pended. This was done on account
of the prevalence of the festive mos
quito at night here, and was effect
ed without any discussion ON show
of hands the first night, the motion
being declared carried the succeed
ing nights without even the formal
ity of a show of hands.
Again the Chronicle says:
The Union Iron Works of Sar
Francisco has closed a 5000, zoo
contract to fit out the new Ews
plantation.
The Union Iron Works of Homo
lulu closed the contract, and will dt
the entire work at their foundry
