The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1891-12-11

LONDON, Dec Io.-The 81. James Gazette, COM
menting today on President Harrison's mes
sage, says: The mos. important point in the
document Is that part which has reference to
the result of the Mckinley tariff. The figures
presented compare significantly with the Brit
ish figures, which remain stationary. The cal
culations OF the supporters of the Mckinley bill
are working out much better than any one in
England had reason TO expect.
The Globe sarcastically comments on the mes
sage which, it says, is adroitly traced on catch
vote lines. Nervous Yankees are assured that
the government knows how to climb down as in
the cases of the Chile and Boring sea dispute.
Lord salisbury need not be much frightened at
President Harrison's tremendous menace and
the expression OF concern at foreign epcroach-
ments upon territories controlled by the Ameri-
can government. The Globe disputes the state
ment made in the message that the prosperity
OF the United States is entirely due to the Nc
Kinley bill. On the contrary, It says the pros
perity ofthe country is due to the excep tional
harvest there at a time when Europe was short
of grain.

A CaIifornia Express Office Robbed.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Dec 10-A special to the
Record Union from Single Springs, CAL, says
the Office of the Wells Fargo Express Company
at that place was robbed last night by two
masked men, who covered Agent +. C. Morebeek
with pistols and compelled him to sur
render the keys OF the safe. The robbers
secured only a watch and 500 in cash. The ROB-
bers were men about five feet eight inches in
height, and wore dark clothes. After securing the
booty they left the Office, and mounting horses
were soon out of sight among the hills.
Agent Morebeck promptly notified the
sheriff OF Eldorado county by wire
and also all constabies within reach. A party
was at once organized at Shingle Springs and at
last account were searching the chaparal
thickets and canyons. A. the robbers had a
good start and struck into the most unfre-
quented portion of the hills they will not be
readily captured unless headed of by telegraph.

HONOLULU, Nov. 25.--The United states steamer
Albatross arrived here on the 2lst inst, and Is
expected TO remain in port about two weeks,
when she makes a second survey on her return
trip to San Francisco. Lieutenant Tanner states

coast OF California has be.n made with view
TO finding the best starting point Tor the cable.
In his opinion salinas Landing, in the bay of
Monterey, will be the most suitable He further
states that there Is no reason Why in his opinion
tbs cable could not be laid. There would be
severa, difficulties to overcome, but only such
as are usual In laying deep sea cables. The
greatest depth reached was 31G0 iathoms, the
average depth being about 300 fa.homs. About
20 soundings had been taken on the way TO the
islands, the last one being OF Diamond Head
where depth OF $50 fathoms was found. The
Albatross took great circle in her course COM
ing down, and on returning will make survey
on straight course. The landing place for the

Csnnicting Reports From the Chinese
Rsbellion-PrInce Bismarck Royalty
Greeted BY People Of Hamburg.

BERLIN, Dec lo.-In the rsichstag today
Chancellor Won Caprivi opened the debate on
the new commercial treaties. making q strong
appeal for their adoption. He dwelt upon the
fact that the present import and export rela-
tfons would ruin both employers and employees.
The measures under discussion were necessary
20 preserve Germany's husbandry and COM
merce
Continuing, the chancellor said the immediate
effect OF the treaties upon the finances OF the
empire would be q diminution of the revenue
BY nearly ls,000,0 900 marks. This was matter
that required budget consideration.
Speaking on the question OF the diferential
treatment Of countries not included in the
treaties, he said Il was needless TO speak of
Russia. The lamentabls distress in that coun-
try would not be removed for some time, and it
was useless to discuss what would be done
afterward.
As regards the United States, the two govern
ments have decided to continue on the basis of
the arrangements Of 1885, whereby the United
States received the most favored nation treat
ment.
In connection with the alleged distress in
Germany he said the agriculture of the country
could very well bear, without risk, a reduction
in the tariff rate OF 112 marks. In the matter OF
wine, 1t bad been the aim to compel sharp com
petition against artificial wines, schnaps and
the socalied "French elarets," so as to provide
on German soil better field for Italian wines
against those OF France. The reduction of du-
ties on the necessaries of life was an advantage
70 the working people.
Adverting to the Mckinley law the chancellor
said:
We wish the countries of Europe to preserve
their Independence against America. For this
purpose they must unita together. TIE treaties
just concluded will give u sure guarantee for
the future.
Herr Won Kanitz, Conservative, opposed tho
chancellors policy. He regretted that the ne
gotistions showed that they had only free trade
counselors. Ho looked forward to the ruin Of
the German agriculturist
The chancellor responded that he had been
aided by the same advisers that assisted Prince
Bismarck.
At q meeting of the Conservative members of
the reichstag twelve voted in favor of and 25i
against the treaties. Herr Ksrdoff read tele-
gram stating that Bismarck did not intend TO
appear during the debate

agency, and offered AZ evidence Professor
Walter 5. aines, of Chicago, testified as to his
analysis of the fatal fluid. Professor Headon,

The people of Newfoundland are pleased with
