FRANCES Gu 5roMs TARIFF.

tectiYe ar i'll.

Deputy Ribot Makes a Plea for Pro-
tective ar III.
PARIS, Jan. 2S.--In the Chamber of
Deputies to-day the committee on customs
tariff was elected. 1t is composed of thirty
nine protectionists, thirteen free traders and
three whose views are uncertain.
M. Ribot, rep, deputy from Pas de Ca lais,
spoke before the Gust ms tariff committee
on the projected renewal OF commercial
treaties. He said the question before them
was whether France should, when the COM
mercial treaties expired in 1892. resume
complete freedom from tariffs, or should
conclude new treaties in 1891. A mai rity
of the deputies had already pronounced
in favor of a renewal of the treaties at that
time. The points at which this subject
touched most forcibly the mind of the people
are as regards the Inconvenience of frequent
changes in the tariff, and the danger OF ex-
posing the French export trade to rigorous
measures Of intended retaliation on the part
of other countries. France should know
that she is bound to a commercial policy
of protection She is not In the same posi-
tion as Great Britain aud Belgium,
which have a superabundance of industrial
production. All the conditions of her po-
litical, social and economic order make 1t
imperative that wide and efficient protection
should be accorded to French manufactures
and agl iculture.

A Denial That They are Closed-On
the Other Roads
PORTLAND, ORE, Jan. 2s.-Special dis
patches trcm SEATTLE have just been pub
lished in both ST. Paul and Minneapolis
papers to the effect that the Northern
Pacific line is in bad condition, and that in
consequence travel is greatly interrupted
and diverted to the Canadian Pacific line.
All such reports are without foundation. The
Northern Pacific line has been open during
the winter and all trains have been running
practically on time both east and west.
These statements are vouched for by the
railroad officials Two through trains ar
rived here to-day from the east over the
Union Pacific. The road is reported open,
and trains, both passenger and freight, are
moving
The blockade on the Southern Pacific
still remains, and the prospect of opening
the road soon is not very fattering. For
the past thirty hours a tremendous rain
storm has prevailed. 1t is feared that fol-
lowing the disappearance Of the snow there
will be a great many landslides in the

PaysOn of Illinois acting under instruc-
tiOns from the committee on public lands a

CIRCULATING NOTES FOR BANKS.
Mr.. Dorsey, from the commit ee on bank
ing and currency, reported the bill to pro-
vide for the issue of circulating notes to ma
tiOnal banking associations. The text of
the bill is as follows:
That upon any deposit already or hereafter
made of any United States bonds bearing in
tereSt in the manner required by law. any ma
tional banking association making the same
shall be entitled to receive from the controller
of the currency circulating notes of different
denominations in blank, registered and counter
signed as provided by law, not exceeding in
whole amount the par value of the bonds de-
posted; provided, that at no time shall the
total amount of such notes issued to any such
assoc alton exceed the amount at such time
actually paid in of its capital stock; and that
all laws and parts of laws Inconsistent with the
provisions of this act be, and the same are
hereby repealed.
Mr.. Bland raised the question of consid-
Grafton against the bill, and the House
determined, by vote of 143 yeas to 10
nays to consider the bill. Mr. Dorsey ex-
planned that the object of the bill was to
permit banks to issue notes to the extent of
100 per cent. of the par value OF the bonds
deposited, instead of 80 per cent, as now
provided. If tue bill become law. a bank
depositing bonds to the amount Of 100000
could issue notes to the same amount. less
5 per cent. left as reserve fund. Discus
sion of the bill occupied the remainder of
the days session. It went over without

A TEMPERANCE UNION MUST GO.
The Y. M. G. A. Don't Want to Mix
Up in Politics.

MILWAUKEE,. Jan. 28-The Woman's
Christian Temperance Union here yester-
day received formal notice from the direc-
tors of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion at the union could no longer occupy
quarters in the Young Mems Christian
Association building. Tue notice says thas ;,
haviny allied themselves with the
prohibition party, women must be
treated like any political organization,
and are therefore debarred from
occupying quarters in the Young Mems
Christian Association building. This
change grows out of the action taken at
the Chicago convention recently, which the
local union indorsed. The notice was read
to-day at meeting held in the hall on
Grand avenue, instead of the Young Mems
Christian Association. 1t caused ssensa-
tion. Action upon it was deferred.

GERMANYs COALITIONS.
An Attempt to save the Government
in the Socialist Bill Fight


BERLIN, Jan. 2S.-Owing to the total
failure of the cartel the coalition came to
the rescue Of the government in the rec ant
issue made by the socialist bill. There has
been some wonder as to whether that COM
bination must henceforth be looked on as
merely piece of past political history. The
truth Is now plainly admitted that the
bond of the cartel combination was some-
what platonic when an issue was made that
was of really vital interest. considered from
the standpoint Of the old party lines.
A NEW AGREEMENT.
The cartel leaders have consequently
agreed that as the advantages OF coalition
are substantial for general legislation, it is
not desirable that it should be dropped
during elections; but as the parties to il
differ rad cally in their opinions on the
socialist bill. that bill will not be considered
as included in the purpose for which the
coalition is maintained, and members will
be at liberty to act on it according TO their
own convictions without thereby violating
any oobjections as cartels.
BISMARCK TO SPEAK.
1t is now expected that Prince Bismarck
will make at an early day Ia the Chamber
OF Deputies declaration on tho subject of
socialism aud social st law, which shall be
accepted as presenting a platform of the
government IN lieu of the speech expected
he would make in the Reichstag on the last
day of the session.

Shot by a Police Captain.
CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-One of the witnesses
for the defense in the Cronin case Robert
Gibbons, was shot tonight by Police Capt.
Schuettler, who has been prominent in the
prosecution. The shooting was the result
of an altercation in saloon opposite the
city hall, where the two men met by ac-
cident at the drinking bar. Gibbons is
dangerously wounded. Each of the me n
was accompanied by several friends. Those
with Gibbons were Thomas Lynch, a
wealthy distiller, Alderman Mccormack
and ex-Policeman Redmon Mcdonald, the
latter Of whom testified on the stand to an
abb for suspect Dan Coughlin.
CONFLICTING STORIES.
The accounts of the affair are conflicting.
According to Capt. Schuettler's friends, the
row started In some uncomplimenGary re-
marks by Alderman Mccormick to the po-
lice captain, ending in the alderman throw
ing a lighted cigar In Capt. Schuettlers
face. The captain was about TO resent this
act, when he received terrific thump on
the jaw from Gibbons, who Is of herculean
proportions Gibbons was proceeding to
repeat the blow, when Capt. Schuettler sud-
denly pulled revolver and fired.
Alderman Mccormick denies the cigar
episode, and says he had gone out of the
saloon for a moment, when he heard loud
talk, with scuflling, and. returning, saw
Gibbons weltering in blood Gibbons
testimony in the Cronin trial was of
minor character. Capt. Schuettler was not
in uniform at the time of the shooting.
