LA BELLE FRANCE,
Excitement Among French Merchants
Over the American Tariff.


PARIS, June 2l.-The excitement
among the French merchants arising
from the difficulties caused by the new
American regulations concerning the
importation of goods into the United
States is spreading to the chamber of
deputies, and to the newspapers. A few
excitable people talk about retaliation.
The government officials and artistic
community are both startled bv the
news that the finance committee of the
American senate has stricken out the
clause in the tariff bill putting works of
art on the free list. There is great
outcry over this action.
Panama Canal Liquidation.
The report OF the committee appointed
to investigate the position of the share
holders and bond-holders of the Panama
Canal Company, was submitted today in
the chamber OF deputies. The minister
OF justice, replying to questions, said
the authorities never accepted Joint
responsibility for the enterprise, but
had not remained insensible to the di-
sasters Detailing it. In a few davs the
official liquidator would be able to re-
port on the present position of affairs,
and when it was established who were
the responsible parties, the minister of
Justice would intervene if necessary.
The British Protectorate.
lie loncle put an Interpolation regard
ing the British protectorate of Zanzibar.
The minister of foreign affairs replied
that the account of the Berlin conference
rendered it obligatory upon every nation
desirous of establishing protectorate
in Africa to communicate its intentions
to the other powers. Great Britain
could not take any action without
previous understanding with France.

Pointers for Gentlemen.

With outing wear the plainest kind Of
handkerchief is desirable.
There has been a general call for
sashes.
The Prince Albert coat seems to be
coming strong for morning wear in Lon
don in variety of rough-faced cloths.
The Tuxedo coat may be worn in the
evening during the summer without the
waistcoat A black surah or satin sash
is substituted upon these occasions.
The made-up scarfs will be in less de-
mand in warm weather. And the four
in-hands and wide Ascots will not be as
sociated with outing wear.
Underwear and hosiery of the plainest
character suitable to the temperature is
most in demand, in gauze, Isle and silk.
The metai-headed canes seem to tend
in their decoration to repousse work in
silver, or tracing of the silver in erratic
designs upon the natural wood sticks.
Some of the wide waist belts shown
for outing wear are calculated to turn
ponent of the outing scheme of attire to
an admission of its comeliness.
During the summer, as at any other
time, gloves must be worn by the men
with evening dress. The prevalent idea
is delicate pearl shade, with heavy,
white cord-like braid embroidered on the
backs.
One of the consequences of wearing
the rundown collar with full dress will
be that white or black tieable cravats
will have to be eworn Herewith, the catch
and buckle bow being impracticable.-

The Value of Long Bonds.

The cities and towns Of California
which are meditating public improve
ments of more extensive character
than be can carried along by annual tax
alton should unite in favor of con-
stitutional amendment permitting the
issue Of bonds--say forty or fifty year
bonds-and releasing them from the
necessity of putting by any sinking
fund for the first ten years.
Cities and towns in California
which have not exhausted their credit,
and which do not propose to mortgage
the future too extensively, under such
rule could negotiate loans at from %
to per cent, which may be said to be
the average rate at the east. The reten-
tion of the clause in the constitution
which requires the assent of two-thirds
of the electors for the incurring of any
debt will prevent reckless borrowing in
any case.
The short bonds which can now alone
be issued can be floated with difficulty
at 8 per cent. They are not the kind of
securities for which investors seek They
cannot run for longer. period than
twenty years. Under the law one
twentieth of the principal has to be paid
annually. There is, in fact, no sinking
fund. If San Francisco, for instance,
should borrow, under existing conditions.
$4,000, 900 at per cent. interest, she
would have to pay at the close of the
first year million of principal and a
million of interest-total, two millions.
The second year she would have to pay
one million Of principal and $3.50 900 in
interest, and so on till the debt was ex-
tinguished. There would have to be q
million of principal paid every year.
The only reduction would be in the in
terest.
The usual argument about making pos
terity pay its share of enduring and per-
manent improvements or betterments,
under this rule, wholly fails. 1t will
thus be seen that the cities and towns of
California cannot borrow money, if they
need it, except on the most ruinous and
and onerous terms. Some of them seem
to be undeterred by the enormous char
acter of the burdens which they assume
But this is probably to be referred to an
unfamiliarity with finance more than
anything else. There is, no doubt,
something gained by the difficulties put
in the way of the rolling up of municipal
Indebtedness. The healthy condition of
the finances OF this city and several Of
the interior cities is due primarily to that
fact. But still there are improvements
and betterments which cannot be under
taken on annual taxation. The existing
system of borrowing requires simply the
paying of two dollars for one.-[S. f.

Associated Press Dispatches |

BERLIN, June 21.-[Copyrighted 1890
by the New York Associated Press. i
During prolonged sitting of the bundles
rath, Chancellor Caprivi explained the
aims of the government in the conclu-
sion OF the Anglo-German agreement,
relative to African territory. He dwelt
on the immense Importance of the stra-
tegic value of Heligoland, and recalled
the fact that during the war of 1870 it
was necessary to detach large force to
guard against the possible French
landing at the mouth of the Wehr and
Elbe rivers and lay submarine mines
to protect the water approaches to Ham
burg and Bremen. He produced an
opinion from Won Moltke that Heligo-
land could be so fortified that it would
be equivalent to large increase in the
German army in the event of war. The
bundesrath unanimously approved the
compact, and congratulated the emperor
and chancellor. The report that Eng
land spontaneously offered to cede the
island IS in direct variance with all re-
ports here. The opinion of the people
OF the island does not count with either
government. Both know that the in
habitants are opposed to annexation to
Germany, both on account of the dread of
military service and customs regulations.
Germany will make concessions on
these points for twenty years. Leading
Hamburg journals regret the granting to
England OF a protectorate over Zanzibar.

the hands of the English East African
Company. Major Wissmann has tele-
graphed similar views. All declare,
however, that the acquisition of Heligo-
land balances the losses elsewhere. The
National Zeit,tng reminds the malcon-
tents that most Of the region conceded
to England never belonged to Germany.
Turkeys Impending Danger.
An ominous note was presented today
to the porte by the Russian ambassador.
Nelidof. 1t suggests the intention of
the czar to actively interfere in the Bal
kans. The note declines the request
that Russia wait until November for the
payment of the war indemnity bv
Turkey, and demands immediate pay
ment. The note declares that in the
event OF refusal Russia reserves the
right of taking all necessary measures to
compel payment.
Yesterday the Bulgarian envoy pre-
sented to the porte a note from Stam-
bulof, demanding an extension of relig-
ious liberty to Bulgarians in Turkey,
and also recognition of the Bulgarian
government. Stambuloff is acting in
concert with Russia without regard to
personal interests of Prince Ferdinand,
and it is expected that his action will
develop the proclamation of the inde-
pendence of Bulgaria under the prince,
who will be agreeable to Russia, with
the absorption of a part of Macedonia
into Bulgaria.

A CRISIS IMMINENT.
MEXICO SAID TO BE ON THE VERGE
OF A REVOLUTION.
An 1nsurrection Begun in the State of
Guanajuato-A General Belief That the
Inevitable is at Hand.

CHICAGO, June PA Times special
from the City of Mexico says: Infor-
nation is given of an uprising in the
mining state of Guanajuato, which is
believed to be the beginning OF general
revolutionary movement, of which there
have been repeated warnings for some
time past. AS the telegraphs are under
government control it is impossible
TO get details by wire, and some
days must elapse before all OF
the facts can be obtained. There are
signs of uueasiness in government cir.
cles, and the general feeling is that a
crisis is imminent, by the tyranny of the
government daily becoming heavier,
and it is almost certain that within a
year Diaz will proclaim himself dictator.
Only revolution can prevent such a
disaster to the republic. This may come
quickly if the movement in Guanajuato
should strengthen as expected. If
it be put down successfully by
the government, then the day of general
resistance will be postponed. Business
is dull, and a reaction has set in against
the bouyancy created by the credit. The
latter is exhausted, and the inevitable is
at hand. This state of things increases
the feeling OF restlessness. There is no
freedom of the press. Therefore one
need not look to Mexican papers for in
formation.
