HARRISON'S SUNDAY
Marred by the News of His Sis
ter's Misfortune.
Not Likely That the Programme Will Be
Chapged-The President at Church.
Around the Hotel

The President was resting on the sofa in
his rooms last night when the news came OF
the accident which had befalen his sister
at Cleves, and Postmaster General Wana-
maker was the first to bear him the tidings.
The first dispatch was so serious in its
nature that the President was greatly agi-
tated When the later news came, how
ever, he became more cheerful and dis
cussed the matter with the members of his
party.
The Postmaster General said to repre-
sentative of The CALL at a late hour:
" The President was greatly affected by the
first dispatches, but is feeling much more
cheerful in view of the later reports.
He is a man of peculiarly tender feel
ings, in spite of all the newspaper
talk about his coldness, and misfortunes,
such as that which has just befallen his
sister. always affect him deeply. Had the
result been fatal, of course it would have
necessitated the abandonment OF our trip,
and We should have gone directly East.
The President feels that he could not under
the circumstances participate in any public
demonstrations, but as the matter now
stands no change will be made in the pro-
gramme unless later news is received of an
unfavorable nature"
Up to 1890 O'clock last night the Presi-
dent had not been directly notified of the ac-
cident. but at midnight he telegraphed the
attending physician to wire him full par
ticulars. In view of the encouraging nature
of the press dispatches he decided to retire,
but left word to be called in the event Of
further Information.
No change will be made in to-day's prepa-
rations. and the visit to the park and the
Pres lio, as is contemplated, will be carried
out 1t is the intention to leave the Palace
Hotel at 10 o'clock, going to Van Ness ave-
nue. to review the school children, and
thence to the park. From there they will
be driven TO the Cliff House for glimpse of
the seals. The party will then be taken to
luncheon at Sutro Heights, and in the after

THE FRENCH TARIFF.
Proposed Changes Vigorously Denounced at
Public Meeting in Paris.

Proposed Changes Vigorously Denounced at a
Public Meeting in Paris.
PARIS, April 26. The French Chamber
reassembles tomorrow, and will proceed
Immediately to discuss the new tariff. The
decision of the Chambers on the tariff ques-
tion, it is everywhere felt, will be big with
consequences both TO the trade of the coun-
try and TO the Ministry, whose fate depends
on the action Of Parliament. The prUs-
pective failure of the cereal harvest has
altered the position OF affairs entirely since
the Government drafted the Tariff Bill, and
the Tariff Commission has proceeded to in
crease duties beyond even the Government 5
proposals.
The debate will last fortnight The
Government, in view Of the imminence of
famine prices for bread, will be forced to
lower temporarily the tariff on grains, and
will probably also be constr aimed, through
the prospect of a European tariff combine,
to reduce the minimum tariff, so as 10 facili-
tate the formation Of treaties based on re-
ciprocity.
The Governments proposals, as they are
to be applied to the most favored nations
and on which no concessions are possible,
range u per cent higher than the present
tariff for countries having no treaties with
France. The commission has greatly in-
creased the minimum, thereby placing the
Government in difficult position to pros ose
a foreign reciprocity tariff.
The agitation has led to the formation o f
an export trade defense association, and a
committee was organized at tC-day'S meet
ing to protest against the prohibltive policy
of the commission. Fifteen hundred per-
Sous were present. Resolutions were passed
denouncing the tariff changes, which, it was
declared, would ruin the country, Isolate
France and destroy her industries and de-
prive French workmen of their means of

Is SHE INSANE.
Anna Dickinson Disgusts People by Her Ian

Anna Dickinson Disgusts People by Her Lam
guage.
NEW YORK, April 26-At the close of the
performance at the Broadway 'rheater to-
night Anna Dickinson made her first public
appearance since her deliverance from an
insane asylum. The audience was not large,
but they welcomed the gifted woman with
applause. She opened her address upon
personal Liberty" with a violent attack
upon the Republican part-, aud dwelt upon
what she termed the private character OF
Mr. Wanamaker ana j. 5. Clar6Son, attrib-
utiIg her imprisonment in Danville Asylum
to a conspiracy of Clarkson, Colonel Dud-
ley and Senator Quay. The personal char
acterZati0ns were in many instances re-
pugnant 10 decency, and many ladies who
occupied orchestra chairs arose with their
escorts and left the theater. The counte-
nances OF the audience indicated pity and
regret as they listened to her rambe about
a visit to Mr.. Harrison at Indianapolis. She
frequently punctuated her utterances with
this question, "Well, do yon think l am in-
sane?" The effect of her discourse did not
strengthen the belief of her hearers in her
sanity.
She avowed that she was promised $3.50
for every speech she made in 1888 and $4,000
each if her candidate was successful. After
bitterly scoring the various party leaders,
she referred to General Butler. These are
some of her words:
The papers have said there has been con
spiracy between us. Yes, Mr.. Butler has
written me letters and they were addressed TO
Lizzie" He IS the only man who ever ad-
dressed me by my middle name. lie knew
what he doing, but will answer for 1t all in
a court Of law. | have had unuum5eTed SORROWS
and do not place veil over any Of them.
Speaking of her theatrical experience she
declared vehemently that the press of the
country had maligned her. She said that
she had never lost any money by her ven-
tnre. Her income, she said, had long been
$4,000 annually, and that she had lost
$4,000 in bond speculation. She gleefully
declared that the defeat Of Cleveland in 1883
was due to the fact that she had been in
the ranks against him. The speaker rambled
again toward British politics and spoke
of dining with Parnell, and thinking him
little tin God on wheels" She lauded the
Democratic party, and resorted again to
such personalities that her utterances were
bissed, and more of the audience left.
When it was all over, many of those friends
who remained with growing sadness until
the end, slowly filed out of the playhouse
with words of commiseration and faces
which evidenced the fact that sorrowful
conclusion had been reached.

A few minutes later Mrs. Harrison ap-
peared leaning on the arm of Colonel San
ger and followed closely by Mrs. Russell
Harrison. They hurriedly entered car
riage that stood in waiting and were driven
rapidly away. Another brief wait occurred
and Russell Harrison, fat. sleek and pros
porous looking handed Mrs. Mckee and
Mrs. Boyd into a second carriage, and in a
low tone said to the driver: direct to
Senator Stanford's.'
The house at California and Powell
streets had been thrown open to receive
them, and the afternoon was spent as the
guests of Senator and Mrs. Stanford. At
6:l5 they returned to their apartments and
denied themselves to all callers.
During the evening POstmaster-Genera
Wanamaker and Secretary Rusk pendu-
lated between the apartments of the
former and those of the President being
sent for twice to consult upon matters of
Importance brought out by teiegrams from

Eaton was announced all fastened at once
to tile President, and some time was spent
In discussing the matter. When the report
became more reassuring, however, they
separated for the night All but the two
Secretaries and the President had retired.

Decision Against Railroads by the Inter-

Decision Against Railroads by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
WASHINGTON, April 26.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission, in a lengthy de-
cisiOn, finds in favor of Jacob Shamberg in
his complaint against the Delaware, Lack
awanna ard Western and the New York,
Chicago and st. Louis roads. Shamberg
complained that certain firm of cattle
dealers in New York. who procure cattle
on large scale In Chicago ran large
number OF improved stock-cars. The COM
mission finds that on these cars the carriers
pay the company a mileage, loaded or
empty; they pay so cents for loading each
car with cattle, and also yardage at the
rate Of 31a cents per hundred ON all cattle
hauled. The amount of these rebates more
than pays the entire cost of the improved
stOck-cars within two years after operations
commence with them, leaving the owners
still operating them with all the above ad-
vantages in rates and facilities. The conf
mission holds that this is an unla wful pref
erence, and a violation of the interstate
commerce law.

as Secretary Tibbitts is not one apt to keep
silent about the horrors he witnessed.

PUBLIC FINANCES.
Amount Of Cash on Hand to Meet Obligation
Of the Government.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-Director of the
Mint Leach, speaking of financial matters,
sad 1.-The amount Of money in the
Treasury of the United States on the 1st of
this month was 751,OOO, 600. of which $685.
COO 600 was trust money, held for the redemp-
ton of gold, silver and currency certificates,
and the balance OF SZ5S, ,G6C, COO belonged TO
the Treasury just as absolutely as any
property which the Government owns.
How there can be any possibility OF the
Government falling to meet its obligations
with this immense sum of absolutely free
cash on hand is difficult to conceive.
IF the available funds in the Treasury are
less than at former periods of our national
history, it must not be forgotten that there
have been purchased and retired since the
advent of this inistraion-twenty-iv
months - S230,603 900 of Understanding
bonds, at a cost. including interest and pre-
MUM, of S267, 759, S91. When we consider
this immense amount of Understanding
debt wiped out in two years, and the i'm
mense saving of interest TO the people of
the country, it will be readily seen that the
money in the Ire asury has been put to good
uSe."

There were several patrons OF the saloon

Some OF the boys were playing pool, others
