on American salt pork. hams and bacon,
which paid $ francs before the prohi
bition, will now be 20 francs per 100
kios In accordance with the
new tariff all prohibitions will be abol
ishcd. The immediate application of
the decree is due to the persistent pres
sure brought to bear on | nlted States
Minister Reid, and especially during the
last few weeks, when VI. kibot, minister
of foreign affairs, Who was hcstatlng
over the matter of resembling the
prohibitions, finally agreed to do 50.
but wanted To postpone until the
whole tariff bill was passed and promui-
gated Mr. Reid urged that if the gov
eminent postpone tn" resembling OF the
prohibitions until the end Of autumn it
ought To- pass Il special law without de
Law. Mr.. Rlhot Introduced the project
in the Chamber of Deputies. NJ. Felix
faVrc moved. at the end Of the sitting
on Thursday, urgency for the proposal.
Only one deputy, NJ. Lccour. OF
fered any hostile criticism of the
measure. and his remarks consisted
of a brief reference 10 the danger
of trichIn0Eis. NJ .lourdc, replying to
the speaker, treated the question of
trichinosis asan old legend unworthy of
regard as applied to American pork.
VI. McIjne. the chairman Of the tariff
committee, cxpIaincd that the decree
would simply rromulgatc two months
sooner the accepted tariiI on salt pork
and thus permit satisiaction to be given
10 the nted States in the cessation Of
the prohibition. Th" House thereupon
Voted the decree no to 80.

WORK FOR A WAR SHIP.
Secretary Foster Asked to Send Cutter
to Awe Canada,

WAsHINGToS, ID. G.. July 20.-Secre
tary Foster has received another tele-
gram from Representative Boutelle in
regard to the seizure of American fish
ing vessels near Eastport, Me-, by Do
minion steamer last Thursday
Mr.. Boutelle intimates that some of
the seizures were made in American
waters, and suggests that a revenue cut
ter he sent to PASSPORT for the better
protection Of American fishermen in
that vicinity.
As the question is an international
one Secretary Foster has referred all the
correspondence he has received on the
subject to the State Department for
such action as may be deemed necessa-
ry. He said, however, that revenue
vessel will be supplied if needed.
EAsTrORT, Ne, July 2O.-The excite
meBt over the seizure of seven hmeri-
can fishing boats by the Canadian steam
er Dream last week has not yet sub
sided. 1t is claimed by the Passport
fishermen that they were fishing in
American waters as defined by the
charts made from the survey years ago,
and that the officials had no right to in
tcrfere with their work. The fishing
boats which were seized are now at st.
Andrews, \. g.. and will be disposed of
shortly bv the Dominion authorities.

His SsmpathicS with the Western Traffic
is~Ociatjou

Association.
New YORK, July 2l.-Since the recent
meeting Of the Advisory Board of the
Western Traffic Association at the
Windsor Hotel It has been publicly
stated that JAY Gould was dis
gusted with his railroad asso-
ciates for not adopting the Joint
agency plan; that he absented himself
from the subsequent sessions of the
board on this account; that Mr.. Gould
received nj the first session the plain
intlmatlon that ne was trying to
use the association for his own
ends, and that the other lines
proposed To have an equal
chance or disrupt the association;
that President Gable of lie Rock Island
Railroad was credited with having led
the opposition TO Mr.. Gould at that
meeting. etc. These statements having
been shown 10 Mr. could he said:
There is no truth whatever in these
statements. Cur action IN regard to
the JOINT agency plan vas unanimous.
The temporary d sposition made of
the matter had my entire concurrence.
The ground upon which the adoption of
the plan was postponed was regarded
by me as proper and ludicious. 1t was
and is very desirable 10 include the out
side roads in the association before
putting such plan in operation"

SHEWAS BACKED BY FRIENDS. "
Grace Hawthorne, the Actress, Tells
Where She Secured &2J. 900.

LONDON, July 20.-The public exam
ination in the bankruptcy proceedings
against Grace Hawthorne, the An-eri
can actress, and which have been spread
over several months, have at last been
concluded, but with cold comfort to the
creditors. She lost $4,000 on the pro-
duction of The True Heart" while the
cost o: producing siberia" was 5000,
not cent of which SO far has been paid.
The interesting feature of her testimony
was the fact that the So, 600 which she
had shortly after arriving in England, !,
and with which she started the Prin-
cess Theater, was given to her by
friends" She refused 10 reveal the
names of these very generous indIvid-
uals, but, upon compulsion, agreed to
write them out for the information of
the official receiver. That individual
upon reading them concluded not to
make them public. There is consider
able speculation regarding the identity
Of the wealthy individuals who were
generous enough to place SO large sum
at the command Of the actress SO soon
after her arrival as stranger IN the
English METROPOLIS.

MOTHERS DEED OF BLOOD.
A Nashville Woman Kills Her Three
Children and Herself,

Children and Herself.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 2O.-Mrs.
Hattie Lochridge, wife of Thomas
Lochridge, shot her three children and
herself about O clock yesterday after
Spring Hill. Mrs. Lochridge was 80
years of age, her eldest child years
old, the second 3 years old, and the
third months old. The awful deed
was done with shotgun.
After dinner Mr.. Lochridge went to
church, leaving his home in its usual
state of qu;etness. About O'Clock he
returned to the little home he had lett
and found the front and back doors
locked, and he was compelled to force
a window in order to gain an enhance.
In the living room upon a pallet lay his
three daughters, dead, and across the
room with her feet turned TO theirs
was his wife, also dead. 1t is thought
the woman poisoned or chloroformed
both herself and the children before
she used the gun. The following letter
was found in the room with the muir
dered and the suicide:

States.

\ bulletin relating to the production
Of gold and silver in the United States
during the calendar year 1850, was issued
from the census office to-day. The

value, 500, -, 713j22. In gold this is near
" - per cent. of the worlds product,
and in silver 1 per cent. The number
of mines in the country, including
''claims" and Locations" Is nearly l00,
00U; of producing mines, nearly 10000.
Only 6,004 of these made proper returns
to the census bureau. CT these 2S pro-
duce over So00,o00 worth of bullion.
The expenditures during the year of
the mines was So, ,f5l 1856; total value of
