THE FRENCH TARIFF.

PARIS. March, THE great tariff debate
to commence in the chamber of deputies
next week viii probably last until mid
summer Among the prominent politicians
interviewed on the French tariff was NJ.
Jules Ferry.
During long conversation on this subject
NJ. Ferry said: eve shall impose low
duties on the products of countries whose
tariff favors us. If the United States re-
duces its scale it will be the gamer in its
trade with France"
Nj. Turrett, one of the ardent protection
ist deputies, remarked; France is forced
to protect herself against foreign prohibi-
ton, especially against the United States.
We do not wish to attack anybody
DIR. Niger, another protectionist, express
ed the view that-''We raise our tariff be-
cause the free trade regime of 1860 reduced
the wholesale prices of our products with
out a corresponding reduct on in the re-
tail prices. The new tariff will not reduce
the cattle duties, but we intend TO remove
the prohibition placed on American pork.
We shall ask in return that the United
States shall modify the features of the
United States tariff which bears heavily
upon French exporters"
NJ. Leon Say, discussing the same sub
ject, among other things, said: No free
traders now exist in France, and there is
no prospect of the adoption in France Of
free trade principles during our time

INDIAN DISARMAMENT.

WASHINGTON, March Indian Com
missioner Morgan, explaining why he adj
vised against the disarming of the Indians
says that he believed there was no danger
of an Indian uprising and he knows that
to disarm them would produce an alarm
Jug spirit of discomfort and uneasiness.
Continuing he says:
II greatly fear that the Indians would
not be safe, either in their persons or their
property, if it were known that they were
entirely without the means of self-defense.
Recent sad events in Dakota, where it is
said that women and little children were
shot down by soldiers of the United States
army, and others were ambushed by citi-
zens, have shown how pitifully defense
less these poor creatures might be If
wholly unarmed.
1.-The prevention of future trouble lies,
it seems to me, first, in treating them
justly and kindly; second, in maintaining
among them we'll disciplined, suitably
paid, vigilant Indian police force, and,
lastly, in keeping at exposed points a
small garrison of troops, sufficient in case
of great emergency of maintaining order
and protecting both Indians and whites.
In view of these considerations, there
fore, feel constrained to advise against
the general disarming of the Indians"

A FEUD SETTLED.
A Prominent West Virginia Physician
Killed by Another

WHEELING, ". Va, March "A tragedy,
which has long been predicted. occurred
on Eleventh street at 10:40 O'Clock this
morning, when DR.. George Baird, one of
the oldest physicians of Wheeling, and a
man very prominent in local politics and
municipal government matters. was shot
twice and almost instantly killed by DR..
George o. Garrison. The latter is mem
Der of the state board of health, and
widely known over a large section of
country as an authority on matters of
sanitation. The murder was the out
growth of feud of more than years
standing, and the crime created the widest
excitement. Many threats of lynching
were made against the murderer.
The two men met at the Second ward
market and had some words. They separ-
ated. but about half-past 10 DR.. Baird
drove past DR.. Garrison, who was stand
ing at the corner of Market and Eleventh
streets. As DR.. Baird passed, DR.. Garri-
son said to FRIEND 'There is going to be
street, and stopped DR.. Baird at the corner
of an alley. The two talked for moment,
and DR.. Baird drove on about fifty feet
and allghted to see a patient. AS DIR.
Garrison came up he had revolver in his
hand, and said: "Take that back, doctor"
Dir. Baird replied: II Don't have to
take it back, you nigger - - -"
