France Makes an Important
Chance in Her POlicy

France Makes an Important
Change in Her Policy.
Paris, July 12.-The most important
political action during the week was the
decision OF the superior council of COM
merce that in the forthcoming tariff bill
raw silk materials shall be placed on
the free list. The Temps, which usual
iy speaks the governments mind on
such occasions, says it considers this
the most important political action Of
the year, and declares it assures the
continued prosperity of Lyons over her
Italian and other rivals. RumOrs are
still current that some of the members
of the chamber of deputies, and per-
haps some of the ministers. also, de-
sire to retaliate against the United
States in case of the passage
of the Mckinley tariff bill by
changing the French tariff as to favor
Russian petroleum. 1t is doubtful
whether the government will sanction
such an effort. The most marked sign Of
the reaction against the violent preju-
dice which drove NJ. Jules Ferry from
active politics has been shown in the
department of Vosges, where the man
who defeated M. Ferry in the elections
for members of the chambers of depu-
ties, by arousing the old prejudice
against him relative to the TOnquln
affair, was himself defeated by a per-
sonal friend of M. Ferry. 1t is believed
that this will pave the way for NJ.
Ferry's early return to active politics.
He was SO unpopular in 1889 that his
bust at the Paris exposition was re-
moved, owing to the agitation against
him, and the threats that it would be
mutilated ifi spite Of the guard. The
memoirs of PrinceTalleyrand have been
edited and arranged for the press
in the French language. They are
now being translated into English, and
will shortly be published in that lam
guage. A small but active party IN the
chamber of deputies is still desIrous OF
using the establishment of an English
protectorate over Zanzibar, as provided
by the Anglo-German agreement, as
the means to oust M. Ribot, minister Of
foreign affairs, from Office. The eX-
treme Radicals remember M. Rib OTIS
former imperialistio sympathies, and
they do not consider him to be suf-
ficiently pronounced Republican to hold
such an Office es that of foreign minis
ter. The chamber, however, has re-
peatedly shown itself to be OverWhelm-
fngly in favor Of NJ. Ribot. The dis
cussion by the chamber of the Anglo
German agreement has been postponed
for month,

HORRORS MULTIPLY.
Another Terrific Explosion on the
Steamer Tioga.

CHICAGO, July 12.-To-night another
terrific explosion occurred on the big
freight steamer Tioga that was wrecked
last evening by an unexplained concus-
sion in the hold. Fire again broke out,
and for few moments 1t seemed as if
the huge vessel and a cargo worth a
quarter of million dollars was doomed.
The timely presence of fire engines,
however, soon put a different face on
matters, and the fire, in short interval,
though still raging fiercely, seemed well
under control. Unlike last tevening's ex-
plosion, to-night's produced no loss OF life
and only two persons were injured.
The second disaster puts out OF the
question all attempts to learn to a GER
tainty the number of victims in the first
explosion. Up to nightfall thirteen
burned and mangIed corpses had been
taken from the fatal hold, and one of
the wounded in the county hospital had
died. Conservative estimates put the
twenty. What caused the explosion
was late tonight still disputed Ques-
tion. One theory was that new sup
ply of explosive vapor had gathered in
the hold. Capt. Phelps, in command of
the vessel, expressed the opinion, how
ever, that something else besides Oil or
its gases was in the hold, but what
he would not venture to say. This
afternoon coroner's jury was impan-
eled, which, after viewing the wreck,
adjourned until next Thursday. James
Burke, chief engineer of the Home In
surance building, Is foreman of the jury.
The other members are mostly CONNER
cial travellers. This was Capt. Phelps
first trip on the vessel, and there are
rumors that all was not pleasant among
his subordinates and crew. There is
vague talk Of spite work cutting figure
In the terrible affair, but such gossip
seemed impossible Of yerification. The
two men injured tonight were two of
the wrecking crew, Hans Christianson
and Thomas Johnson. They went below
with lantern to look at suction pipe
which had become clogged. Both men
were taken out alive, but seriously
burned and bruised.

following Endorsement, 81 recommend
the suggestions, and hope that they will
meet with the prompt approval of con-
gress," a letter from Secretary Blaine

To the President: The international

sion at this capitol, adopted the follow
ing report: "The international Ameri-
can conference is of opinion that great
advantages would accrue to the COM
merce between the nations of this con-
tinent by the use of coin or coins that

First-That an International American
monetary union be established.
Second-That as basis for this union an
international coin or coins be issued which
shall be uniform in weight and fneness, and
which may be used in all the countries repre-
sented in this conference.
Third-That to give full effect to this rec
ommendation there shall meet in Washing
ton commission composed Of one delegate
congress. which shall consider the quantity,
the kind of currency, the uses it shall have
and the value and proportion of the interna-
tlonal silver coin or coins and their relation
to gold.
Fourth-That the government of the United
States shall invite the commission to meet in
Washington within year, to be counted
from the date of the adjournment of this
conference.
1t was hoped and expected by the con-
ference that the recommendation should
be transmitted to congress with rec
0mmendatlon that the several nations
interested be invited to send delegates
to meeting of the international Amer
lean monetary union at Washington on
the first Wednesday of January next;
that authority be granted for the ap.
pointment Of three delegates ON the
part of the United States, and that an

Livingston of the charges, and showing
that a conspiracy existed among the

The Maharajah of Cashmere
Bounced by Great Britain.
LONDON, July 12.-The Maharajah of
Cashmere, who has been deposed from
his throne by the government of British
India, on the charge Of misrule and
suspected treason, is endeavoring to
obtain a hearing on the accusations
against him through the influence of
friends in Great Britain. The cabinet has
so far refused to interfere with the action
of the authorities in India. The maha-
rajah is suspected of having held inter-
course with agents Of the Russian ad-
ministration in Central Asia. The Brit
ish government has under c0nsidera-
tion the question of placing all the
troops in India under one commander
in-chief, instead OF three separate COM
mands that now exist. The object is to
insure united and harmonious action in
the event Of war with Russia. The
deposition of the Maharajah Of CASH
mere is said to be intended as warn
Ing to other Indian princes to abstain
from communication with Russia.
