FRANCES TARIFF BILL
A Clause Giving the President Power
to Retaliate

TO hetalate.
PARIS. Nov. 1.-The new French tariff
bill, which is now before the Chamber OF
Deputies, contains one striking feature,
which has heretofore escaped much notice.
This Is a clause which gives to the president
and his cabinet full power to retaliate c as
great an extent aS they choose upon articles
exported to France by aly oountry which
discriminates against French products or
in any way erects barriers against French
trade This clause is obviously modelled G.

and is inteaded as Freaoh ans yer to that
measure.
HOSTILITY or THE PRESS.
The general tone of the French press con-
tinues hostile to the adoption OF retaliatory
measures against the wnited States because
Of tle latter country's tariff legislation. A.
Instead Of speaking IN favo' of retaliation
the papers urge that mutual concessions be
made by France and the United States.
They seem to Imagine that IL the French
government makes considerable concessions
IL may gain a reduction of American duties
on silk and wooden goods.
The Journal des Debdts says that Sir
Charles Upper a I'd Hector Falere will be
charged by tho government Of Canada tc
negotiate special treaty Of Commerce with

NEARLY 100000 FOR LICENSES.
Lillian Fife Flees From Her Husband, With
Her Babe and Maid.
CASES THROUGH THE DIVORCE MILL

The attorneys who are representatives. OF
the brewing firms in this county which are
applying for bottling licenses were nearly
all busy yesterday preparing briefs OF the
law bearing on the subject. Some of these
briefs will be filed tomorrow, and the case
will probably be argued before judges
Ewing and Magee Tuesday afternoon.
In April, 1889, Judge White granted
bottling licenses only to brewers. believing
that the bottling business was safest in their
hands. Judge Ewing agrees with Judge
White that the brewers ought to have charge
of the bottling business, but he believes that
the law does not allow him to grant two
licenses to the same person or company. lie
said on the bench that he had not investi-
gated the question thoroughly, and he asked
the interested attorneys to look up all the
law and decisions bearing on the point, and
to present written briefs to the Court. The
point had only occurred to the Judge since
the license hearings began. and he had been
too busy to pursue the subject.
Attorney Cohen said yesterday that his
brief was almost finished. He believes that
the law allows the granting of both licenses.
j. S. Ferguson has not prepared anything.
He said yesterday: 81 hardly know where
to find anything on the question. The point
is new one, and there are no decisions on
the subject to aid one." John S. Robb was
at work on the question yesterday afternoon.
Other attorneys interested will be ready by
Tuesday. They generally hold that the
question is an open one. resting entirely In
the discretion of the Judges.
Nearly $500. 600 ha; & been ,asad.. paid to the ne
this sum about So, 900 goes to the city of
Pittsburg and $25, 900 to Allegheny. About
three -fourths of the fees are paid in.

WANTS A SMALL FORTUNE.

The Lake Erie Sued for Sending Our an
Alleged worn.Out Engine - John M.
Ludwig Asks for $4,000 Damages for
Being Blown Up.
John NJ. Ludwig, of the Southside,
through his attorney, j. D. Watson, has
entered suit against the Pittsburg & Lake
Erie Railroad Company. operating the
Pittsburg, McKeesport & Youghiogheny
road, for So, 900 damages. Mr.. Ludwig
was the engineer in charge of the locomotive
which exploded on February 13 last, when
a brakeman was killed and four other train
men. including Mr.. Ludwig, were severely
injured.
The latter alleges that the engine was
sworn out, badly constructed, defective,
unreliable and unsafe" He claims to have
been ordered by one of his superiors to take
out the locomotive. The accident occurred
at the Douglass siding. 1t was due to no
negligence OF the engineer. At the time the
explosion occurredthere were three guages OF
water on and over the crown sheet OF the
boiler. A portion Of this alleged wornout
sheet broke, letting the water into the hre-
box causing the explosion.
Mr. Ludwig's injuries consisted OF
fractured skull, broken nose and leg dis
was badly mashed, and his eyeballs were
driven back into their sockets so>that they
united, destroying his sight.
Mr.. Watson stated yesterday that this Is
but one of five suits to be brought as the re-
suit of the explosion. Said he: when
the Coroner's jury rendered their verdict IN
the dead brakeman's case, they de-
cided that the affair was an accident,
and exonerated the company. Now if the
company is excusable, it is an imputation
that the engineer was responsible, and these
proceedings are brought with view to clear
the mans character, as we'll as to secure
damages for his permanent injuries. 1t
was not known at the time that the engine
was so old. 1t was in use on the Reading
road 30 years ago. It was then taken to two
other roads before being put on the Monon-
gahela Division. 1t was only in MIR. Lud-
wigs charge two days when the accident
occurred"
