America Will Re Benefited,

BERLIN. Dec. 6..-The German and Aus
trian commercial treaty has been signed in
Vienna. The remaining treaties will be
signed during the coming week. They
were discussed by the Bundesrath yester.
day. There is no doubt but that the Reich
stag will ratify the treaties. America will
derive the greatest advantage from them.
The Bofreen Courier says the duties on
corn will be reduced from fifty to thirty
five shillings per ton. Russia, excluded by
the favored nation clause. will be adversely
affected by the new treaties and virtually
compelled to make overtuies to Germany
to prevent the total exclusion of Russian
grain from the German market. .

Want the Same Rights.

WINNIPEG, Man, Dec. G.-Before the
chief justice yesterday, application was made
by the church of England to show cause
WHY they should not have the same right
as Catholics to maintain separate schools
for the education of their children. The
application calls OH the city of Winnipeg
to show cause why the court should mot
quash city ordinance levying taxes for
public schools. The application is sup
ported by af1idavits from Bishop Maohray
and Ex- Mayor Logan. This is an import
ant movement on the part of the church of
England and will e-opeu the whole school

A CURIOUS LAWSUIT.
The Failure of an Elderly Maiden's
Matrimonial Plans.

Matrimonial Plans.
From the Nete York Times.
New ORLEANS, June GA curious case,
involving rich mans anxiety to arrange a
marriage for his daughter and lawyers
rascality, is on trial In the civil court here.
1t is the suit of A. l.. Rohelot against
Anatole Brieugne and Aristide Gelpi
Robelot is a wealthy capitalist, with an
elderly maiden daughter who is endowed
with more wealth than beauty, and whom
the father is anxious to have married
Robelot communicated this fact to Brieugne,
his attorney, and the latter suggested that
Miss Robelot marry his friend, Falcoz, sur
geon on a steamer plying between New Or
leans and Havre. Robelot promised to give
his daughter liberal dover. and with this
assurance the young physician presented
himself, proposed and was accepted. The
nuptials were fixed for the next trip of the
vessel to this port, but when she arrived Fall
COZ, the groom-elect, was not aboard. Robe
lot took his attorney to task for the failure
of the groom to appear; but satisfactory
excuses were made, and it was agreed that
another young ship surgeon, M. Melon,
should be presented to the capitalists
daughter. He wooed briefly but well, and
the engagement was announced. Matters
were in this form when Robelot and Melon
had a conversation, in which Robelot
abused Brieugne, the attorney. Melon wrote
down the conversation and sent 1t TO
Brieugne, who took his client to task about
it, threatened to sue him for $4,000 libel,
have him arrested for SANDER, and fight a
duel with him besides. Robelot was
frightened and eagerly embraced the
attorneys offer to compromise on basis OF
So, 200.
Robelot called in a Catholic priest, Father
Vale, and Brieugne called in Aristide
Gelpi, prominent grocer, who were to act
as arbitrators. They agreed on Brieugne's
plan, and Robelot transferred 5000 OF in
surance stocks TO him. Robelot now sues
Brieugne and Gelpi to secure these stocks.
The case has been on trial for two days
already, and will probably consume another
week. The counsel for Brieugne is Lionel
Adams. who was the lawyer for the defense
in the Hennessy case.

REV USE FOR DYNAMITE.
Very Delicate Engraving on Stsel
May Be Done with 1t.
E.-aaa L.. q

worry OSAc6te engraving on Steel
May Be Done with 1t.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
NEW YORK, June 7.-Among the many
new uses to which gunpowder and other
nigh explosives have been applied recently
Is that of engraving. By lneans Of the
force generated by the detonation of these
articles the lines of delicate leaves. grass
and insects have been impressed on the sur,
race or the hardest iron procurable in the
space OF half a second. BY old processes
hours were consumed when machinery was
used and any attempt was made to secure
artistic results, and days where manufact-
urers resorted TO hand work. Many re-
cent experiments have been made, mostly
by officers OF the army and navy, which
have demonstrated the efficiency of the
methods.
AT Newport a few weeks ago heavy
charge OF dynamite was exploded by sew
eral officers who were delegated by the gov
eminent to test a new method of electricity
IN fuses. Somehow small dried leaf with
out the knowledge of the officers had slipped
In between the dynamite cartridge and the
iron block from which the charge had been
fired. When the experiment had been COM
pleted the officers were surprised to find the
perfect imprint of the leaf in the iron. The
most delicate lines were reproduced with
startling distinctness. A series Of expert
ments which were attended with remarka-
BILE success followed
One Of the officers who made the first ex-
perIments is now in the city, and he gave
me an account of his discovery when l saw
him at an uptown hotel the other night.
81 was rather surprised to find that it was
possible to reproduce the outlines of perish
able articles upon the surface of iron by
means OF explosives" said he, land was at
first skeptical, although had often heard
that candle could be fired through an oak
plank"
when we found the imprint of the leaf
we made several similar tests. They took
place at the torpedo station in Newport.
We placed several leaves and flowers be-
tween two plates of boiler iron and then
fred moderate charge of dynamite on the
upper plate. The exact outline, with even
the veins In tbs petals of the flowers were
reproduced in the hard metal. Other and
more extended experiments were attended
with similar results. Another singular fact
is that swhen exploded under water the i'm
prints are much finer than those produced
in the open air. Frequently when wad of
gun cotton is exploded beneath the surface
of the water the explosive will sink into the
iron foundation SO deep that the sunken
words and figures will be reproduced in
raised characters on the iron."
Several manufacturers have followed the
example set by the officers, and some day
probably dynamite will be put in practical
use as an engraver.
