PARIS, Oct. 25.-The new Tariff Act
cannot be promulgated before the end OF

be sufficient time to make it the subject
OF negotiations with the Powers before
the treaties with them lapse. The Gov
ernment, accordingly, will introduce in
the Chamber of Deputies bill to author
ize them to establish commercial rela-
tlons with foreign countries during the
year 1892. The minimum tariff will be
applied to Belgium, Holland, Switzer-
land, Spain, Portugal and Sweden, the
treaties with which will expire in Febru-
ary, on condition that those Powers grant
France their lowest tariff rates. The
minimum tariff will also be conceded
those nations now having most favored
treatment, which include Great Britain,
Russia, Mexico and Turkey. On the
other hand the United States, Italy and
Roumania are subject to the maximum
tariff
The French Government will request
the Powers to revive during the year

Of resembling the measure. 1t at length

posing Senators think it ought not to 90
lower than Germany's rate. The Gov
ernment, however, will demand that the
Senate vote 20-franc rate, so as to agree
to the proposition as it has already
passed the Chamber of Deputies. The
Senate is likely to ultimately support the
Government demand.
Senator DeCauville, in an interview
with an Associated Press representative
said the fact that the hygienic objection to
the introduction of American pork had
disappeared would greatly help the
measure through the Senate.

SALEM (Mass.), Oct. 25.-The first act
in the great Hopkins-Searles contest
closed with such abruptness yesterday as
to fairly startle not only those in attend
ance, but even the veteran counselors
themselves. After six days of minute
investigation and sharp and obstinate le-
gal fencing, Judge Harmon has swept
aside the mass of closely written manu-
script from the Searles mailbag, pigeon
holed the powers of attorney at one fell
swoop, and in terse and simple phrase, in
not over twenty words, declared that the
plaintiffs have fairly maintained the case,
that the issue raised by the contestants
has not been maintained, and that there
is no other course open to him but to set
up the will.
1t was all accomplished in breath. as
1t were, and such a t1attening out of a case
of such magnitude has never before been
known in Essex County courts. Those
who looked for display of forensic abil-
lty, for scholarly and eloquent argument
from the dignified Judge Endicott for the
contestants, and fora concise and pungent
plea for the will, as well as a vigorous and
indignant defense Of his co-attorneys, Mr..
Stillman and General Hubbard, by the
cooi-headed and logical Colonel Lincoln,
were keenly disappointed. 1t was exactly
like the snutfing out of brilliant candle
flame.
When court opened Burley began the
cross-examination of Hubbard regard
ing the copartnership, during which the
copartnership books were produced and
put in evidence, showing the amounts
the various parties to the agreement had
received from the profits of the estate.
After the examination Of Hubbard had
concluded Judge Endicott arose and
said: May it please your honor, both
sides having rested their case, it only re-
mains for me to say that we submit our
case for your decision, in accordance
with the customary procedure in such
cases."
Colonel Lincoln assented, and Judge
Harmon then said that but one course re-
manned for him upon this very partial
hearing of the case. The plaintiffs hav-
ing maintained their case and the burden
resting upon the contestants there was
but one issue, that of undue influence.
including the charges of fraud. Here,
upon the evidence as submitted, he
should decide that that issue was not
maintained, land 1 therefore shall set up

Mr.. Burley-And at the proper time
and place, your honor, we shall enter
our appeal from your decision.
The will is thus admitted to probate.
There will be no further hearing upon it

Court in Essex County, at Salem, prob

PARIS. Oct. 25.-It was learned to-day
that the village of Meiringen, in the Can

almost wiped out by fire. The flames
were famed by gale, and the local fire
department could do nothing to check
the progress of the conflagration. Nearly
all the business places and residences
were utterly destroyed in a brief space OF
time, the Victoria and Wildremann's
Hotels being the only structures of con-
sequence left in prosperous village of
5000 inhabitants.
The town was reduced to ashes in three
hours. The wind was so strong that
partly burned papers were carried as
far as lnterlaken, nineteen miles distant.
The inhabitants of the burned town are
in dreadful condition, and relief parties
have been started.
