Murphy was under suspension for his

would not break the record. There was

business.
There was long delay after the horn
sounded, and when Salvador did finally
make his appearance, accompanied by
Rosetta and Narnona, pacemakers,
loud cheers went up. Slowly the trio

He told me of fabulous wealth to be So

owned remarkably rich mining
claim, and nothing but little money
was needed to bring out Of 1t million
In gold. We left San Francisco, and at
Santa Rosa met the alleged cousin, who
showed us specimens from his mine
which assayed $500 per ton. He claimed
to be the only one at the time who knew
of its location. l was wholly ignorant
OF the mining business, and was easily
taken in by Hatton, in whom l reposed
great confidence. We visited the claim
and went to San Diego, whore Hatton
wanted to buy some machinery. While
there he received q dispatch, purporting
to be from New York, summoning him
home to the bedside Of his dy-
ing father. He offered to sell
his entire interest for $1,000

AMERICAN PORK IN FRANCE,
Tho Press of Paris Favor the He-
moYaI Of the Prohibition.

Aho EFoss ~ho A~C-
moval of the Prohibition.
PARIS, Aug. 30.-Several of the French
papers have been discussing United
States Minister Reeds letter to Foreign
NJ mister Ribot, concerning the prohibi-
ton of American pork.
The Journal des Debats thinksthe pro.
hibition unreasonable, in view Of Ameri-
can pork securing the highest prize at
the French exposition, and thinks the
government will soon withdraw 1t.
La Paris says: 'If the American
resolution was carried out IL would cut
oil the sale of 400, 600. 600 francs of
French products annually, and the pub
lie health would not be damaged by
admitting few tons of American
pork"
The Figaro thinks France was wrong
in the prohibition, but holds that 1t Is
now impossible to move backward or
take the alternate of yielding before the
economic threats of Americans.
The Moniteur Universal points to the
recent address of NJ. Ribot as proving
that tho government Is convinced that
II must abandon the prohibition. This
conclusion, II says, was reached after
hearing from the French minister at
Washington that IL France persisted in
the prohibition OF American pork 1t
would have to submit to heavy ad-
vance in the duties on its products.
La l.anterne thinks the French vino
growers will soon be convinced that
there is little advantage in protecting
French hogs, and in the interests OF
the beet growers and distiIlers, putting
prohibitive duties on American corn,
II the result is TO lose their own mar
ket.
La Steele approves absolutely Minis
ter Reid's letter, and says; ''The prohi-
bition against American pork was q

Money was primal necessity, and ws
seized II wherever we could reach II law
fully; but during the last eighteen years
great change has been made. 30 en-
-tirely has the war tariff been abolished
that In the fiscal year ending June 30,
1880, the articles admitted free were con.
siderably more than one-third OF all the
imports. To be exact, the imported
articles that paid duties exceeded $685.
900, 900 in value, and the imported arti-
cles that paid no duty exceeded $256.
0O0, 900 IN value. The inevitable tenden-
cy is, | think, toward the increase OF the
free list. Our great mistake was made
when We began TO repeal the war duties
on 50 large an amount OF imports. Any
duty repealed was a favor and advantage
to the exporting country, and we have
asked nothing in return. Instead OF
this course-which | must say was ow-
ing to the carelessness and wastefulness
by both political parties - every repeal
OF IA duty should have been preceded by
tho most thorough investigation, and
wherever II was found practicable to ex-
port anything from the United States,
and thus establish reciprocity of trade,
II should have been done. l do not, OF
course, intend to declare or to imply that
We could have secured the free
admission of $256, 0oo, 900 of American
products in the countries whose
products we purchase annually to that
amount. The richer country can not
expect TO get complete reciprocity in
amount from countries less wealthy,
but whatever we should have received
would have been clear gain, and In all
future repeals OF duties, whatever We
may be able to get will be clear gain. 1t
is not question of settling deliberately
to work to establish reciprocal ex.
changes, but with all duties we have
thus far repealed IL has been a question
