FRANCES TARIFF.

The Chamber OF Deputies Stnl Wrest-
ling with the Subject.
PARIS, Oct. 2S.-The governments pro.
posal to concede reduced tariff for one
year to the countries having commercial
treaties with France is exciting much oppo-
sition. The protectionists declare that the
proposal is opposed to the economic inten-
tions of the Chamber Of Deputies and will
produce commercial instability and be
preJudtclal to tie interests of
the public treasury. On the
other hand the free traders are
Jubilant over the proposal and maintain
that it proves that the government recog-
nizes the necessity of fixing commercial
relations with foreign countries and con-
cludlng conventions. The free trade paper,
La Ltberte, declares that no country desires
France to claim continuance of
the status quo for her own advantage
with view of afterward imposing
conditions likely to be ruinous to foreign
countries La Liberte urges that the gov.
ernment had bettar avert moral defeat by
prolonging the existing treaties until 1893
and save the country from an industrial,
commercial and financial crisis.

GIBBONS FOR POPE.

The Americans Chances Not Consid-
cred Bad at Rome.
ROME, Oct. 2s-A recent article from
the pen Of Signor Cesare in one Of the
principal liberal organs has made some stir
in ecclesiastical cir cles Signor Cesare, who
is liberal writer of some note, and who
has made a special study of ecclesiastical
questions, contends that Austria in the
name of the triple alliance ought TO domin-
ate in the next conclave aud procure
the election Of pope amenable
to the suggestions OF the triple alliance.
But the point of interest 10 Americans in
the article is vigorous opposition to the
candidature Of Cardinal Gibbons for sue
cession to the papal chair. Among other
things, Signor Cesare declares that under
Cardinal Gibbons the church would cease to
be Roman" This attack on Cardinal
Gibbons is regarded at the vaticaA
as an expression of the. fear
of the liberals that Cardinal Gibbons might
be elected at the next conclave. National
rivalries and jeslousies which might prevent
tho unanimous election of European pope
would not operate In Cardinal Gibbons case,
50 his chance OF election is considered good.

taken the Assateague light for the Winter

so red that it lost its white character. No

NE VIVIAN FIRE-swE7T.
4 Warehouse and Over a Thousand
Bales OF Cotton Burned.

4 Warehouse and Over a Thousand
Bales OF Cotton Burned.
NEWMAN. Ga, Oct 2s.--This city has
again bssu visited by fire. Last night T.
". Howell 81 Co.'s warehouse, with 1000
bales of cotton, was destroyed. The wind
was wild and for three hours the town
seemed to be at the mercy Of the elements.
All the stores on the west side Of the square
were relieved OF their contents and the
Newman Guards were put on duty. About
100 bales Of cotton on the platform Of the
burning building were removed after a
fierce fight. Every one that could shoulder
a musket and carry water was put to work.
Ats o'clock this morning another alarm
sounded, and in five minutes 500 men with
buckets of water were at the warehouse of
Russell, Gibson & Co. working to save it.
Nearly 200 bales OF cotton were on the OUT
side platform. By hard work the building
wes saved, but fifty bales Of cotton were
burned.
A SUSPECT ARRESTED.
The work was evidently that of an incen-
diary. Willy Argo, desperate character
who has a grudge against the city and
warehouse, was arrested just after the last
fire. Argo is very retcent and positive ev-
idence will be hard TO get. II the citizens
knew that he was the incendlary he would
in all probability be hanged or burned be-
fore another day.
Ii is impossible to get correct estimate
of the loss by the three fires that occurred
at different places within twenty-four
hours, but the combined loss will probably
reaca &20O,000.

LONDON, Oct. 9S--A private telegram

quake in japan. A severe shock was ex-
perie0ced at Osaka, a seaport town of $780,
900 Inhabitants, on the island of Hondo and
in many things one Of the first cities OF
Japan. The destruction Of life aud property
was very great So severe was the shock
that a numper Of houses were thrown to the
ground and many of their occupants were
caught in the falling buildings and
crushed to death. A large mum
ber of persons suc9eeded in escaping
from their tottering homes only tO
meet death in the streets. There Is no
means at present of estimating the total
loss of life; la fact, the details of the catas.
trophe are very meager. as all the telegraph
wires in the districts affected were broken
by the falling Of the poles. Tho dispatch,
however, states that it is known that in
Osaka alone the death list contains the
