PARIS, May 1.-THE French embassy
atTokio has telegraphed the official de-
tail of the attack upon the czarowitch.
From these it appears that the czaro-
witch's assailant was a policeman
named Thunda. The czarowitch and
suite were leaving Otsee in jinrikshas,
having just visited Buddhist temple.
Both the czarowitch and Prince George
went to the shrines with their boots on,
and the, chief priest on their retiring
complained to the Japanese guards
about this offense against the national
religion Z The princes were entering their
jinrikshas when Thunda, who was stand
ing guard, dealt the czarowitch blow
with his sword. Prince George returned
the blow with his stick, and threw
Thunda several feet. The policeman
rose and made rush at the czarowitch.
A Japanese closed the front of the car
riage, and another Japanese wrested the
sword from Thunda and cut him down,
infiicting a severe wound. Chief Bonze,
Czarowitch's injury is already healed.
A NEW VOLCANO.
Advices have been received at Mar
seilles from Trebezond to the effect that a
new volcano has appeared in Armenia.
Mount Nimrod, in the district of Van,
has been vomiting forth flames and
lava. The villages at the base of the
mountain have been destroyed, and
many persons are said to have been
killed or injured. The fugitives camp
ing outside the range of destruction are
almost entirely destitute. The greatest
misery prevails among them. q.
THE FRENCH TARIFF DEBATE.
Although the deputies have debated
the tariff for fortnight, the measure,
practically, has not advanced a step.
The house is tired OF the whole business,
before, really, the business part of the
discussion on articles of tariff has be-
gun. In spite of the appeals of the free
traders, the reduction of the govern
ment's proposals is out of the question,
wARLIKE EDITORIAL.
The Republique Franchise has a war
like editorial on England in Egypt. 1t
contends that the French government
ought to resent the English PROPOSITIONS
to destroy what is left of French infu-
ence in Egypt, and says the. chamber of
deputies and the country are willing to
grant whatever may be necessary to vim
dicate the rights of France.
THE COLD SHOULDER.
The Chilean senator, Sefior Matte,
who is here as delegate of the Con-
gressional party, has been received by
the under secretary of the foreign Office,
but not by Minister Ribot. He has also
called upon number of diplomats, but
no where has he been recognized offici-
ally.

PEW AND PULPIT.
SOME FEATURES OF THE SERVICES
YESTERDAY.
DR.. Chichester breaches on Judas Iscariot
Dedication-Pente Services-Notes.

DR.. W. j. Chichester, at the I'M
manuel Presbyterian church, took for
his subject yesterday morning the be-
trayal of Christ by Judas Iscariot. The
sermon was a most mastery and impress
sive one, and the treatment of the sub
ject was so different from the regulation
way in which Judas is generally dis
cussed from the pulpit, that it gave a
deepened interest to the eloquent dis
course. He depicted the arch betrayer
asa man not 80 hideous in feature as
he became base and tortuous in charac-
ter, but as one who had been loved and
trusted amongst the disciples on account
of his superior aptitude for affairs. He
had,s however, nursed his avaricious
passions--his love of money-until they
became his dominating and overpower-
ing characteristics. After he had been
led step by step by his all-per-
vading vice up to the climacteric
of his enormous crime, and saw its
tremendous consequences, he was seized
with a terrible remorse, and suicide
alone was left for him. But had he
turned even then to his betrayed
master, thrown himself at his feet and
cried for mercy, he would have received
pardon, even as Peter had. The lesson
that Judas's unspeakable crime teaches
is to beware OF nursing the dangerous
passion of avarice. The love of money
| is the source of untold evils to those
who make gold their idol. But Judas is
not alone in his betrayal of the Son of
Man. He is betrayed whenever those
for whom he died transgress the divine
laws. His wounds are opened afresh by
| the sins of those he loves. He is cruci-
| fled by every crime against his Fathers g
statutes; but so loving, 80 forgiving, is
he, that no matter how enormous the
offense, he is ever ready to pardon and
receive into his arms those who confess
and sincerely repent their sins.

IMPORTS AND PROTECTION.


a ProteesloDlst Fnllscy Conp1seely
Knocked Oct.
The protectionists delight TO point
out that we import more aow per cap
ita than we did thirty years ago, and
they straightway construct the theory
that high tariff promotes importation.
But in this hasty conclusion they over
look some important considerations
The great Improvements in ocean
steamships have lowered freights
enormously In thirty years. In 1860 the
freight on . bushel Of wheat from New
York to Liverpool ranged from IL to
2. cents q bushel. while last year the
average was slightly less than 8 cents,
and IL is now sometimes as low as 3
cents Cheaper and quicker transporta-
ton has greatly increased the demand
for foreign goods
At least twenty Americans travel In
Europe now for one who travelled there
in 1850: and the result Of this increased
travel Is that all Europe has become as
il we're a vastexposition in which Amer
leans find the things which meet their
tastes These are bought in Europe in
the first instance; but later orders are
filed BY American importers in New
York
There, too. the more intelligent and
wealthy class Of our people is far larger
now in proportion to the population
than thirty years ago. Education and
money are factors which tell very
greatly in making a market for large
class Of foreign goods in which artistic
designing and skilled workmanship
have been combined
Besides all this, the invention of hun
dreds Of machines and processes has
produced an enormous number OF spc-
cial forms Of manufacturer and has
tended In various ways to promote inter-
national exchanges.
But this notion that protection in
creascs importation is far from being
In harmony with the high tariff faith
as held BY Mckinley. In his speech on
his tariff bill In the house Of represent
atives last year he said: THE chief
complaint against this bill comes from
importers and consignees here, on the
one hand. and the foreign merchants
and consignors abroad Why do they
complain? Manifestly because in some
way this bill will check their business
here and increase the business OF our
own manufacturers and producers; IL
will diminish the importation OF COM
reting foreign goods, and increase the
consumption OF our home made goods"
