RAISING OBSTACLES.
Embarrassing Questions Asked Fair
Managers by France.
A TREATY ON PATENTS Is CITED.
TheE Matter of Duties on Exhibits Is
Broached in the Letter.
EXPOSITION PEOPLE ARE PEEPLEXED

CHICAGO, March 29-France demands
to know what preparations will be made by
the Worlds Fair managers for the recep-
tion of the exhibits of foreign countries. A
long communication was received yesterday
at headquarters from France 1t was pre-
sented to President Gage by H. de Surrel,
the Acting French Consul resident in
Chicago. Upon receipt of this COM
munication, President Gage, Vice Chair
man Mckenzie and Secretary Butter
worth were closeted together for three
hours, discussing the points involved. In
1887 the United States, together with Ger
many, France, Austro-Hungary, Belgium,
Italy and other powers, at a conference at
Paris, agreed upon certain regulations to
govern the relations of the several powers
This agreement was the basis upon which
the several interrogatories were made. The
letter contains the following:
By procla nation of June II, 1887, the Presi
dent of the United States has agreed to the
following article of the International Con-
yenton for the Protection of Industrial Prop
erty, viz: Tho high contracting parties en-
gage between themselves to accord a temporary
protection TO patentable inventions to trade. or
commercial marks for the productions which
may figure at official or officially recognized in
ternational exhibitions. May the French
Commission be assured that the guaranty
promised by said proclamation will be fully ex-
tended to the industrial or commercial marks,
designs and patents Of French products which
jurisdiction and courts would have power to
prevent OF repress any attempt in violation of
said convention? The question of
customs duties to be imposed upon ar.
tices for exhibition formed large part
Of the letter. The French Government
while not defining exactly what position they
would take in case customs duties were levied
upon articles intended for exhibition. limited
in the strongest manner possible that in case
duties were imposed France would make it an
excuse not to make exhibit.
This is the first time we have been called
upon to answer these questions" said Major
Butterworth, land In consequence we must
survey the entire situation. 1 have sent to
Washington for copy of the Paris
treaty and the statutes enacted thereon.
1t may be necessary, to secure
the presence of France and other
countries, to endeavor to procure some change
IN the customs laws in connection with articles
coming from foreign countries that are destined
for exhibition One of the hard points to de-
eide in connection with foreign exhibits is the
matter relating to the privilege of sale desired
by many exhibitors. Upon this point, France,
in her communication, dwelt particularly

FIANCE, O., CoLLAPsEs.

Solid Masonry Crumbles Under the Rush.
ing Flood-Narrow Escape of Several
Persons-The Disaster At ributed to Ice
Being Wedged in the Pipe.
DEFIANCE. O., March 29.-The stand
pipe of the Defiance Water Company col
lapsed about 2:30 this afternoon. The pipe
was 140 feet long and "a feet in diameter, and
stood on a foundation of solid masonry. The
lower 80 feet OF the pipe was torn in frag-
ments, one great piece being hurled against
the pump house 100 feet away, crushing
in the side of the building, while the water
and debris carried by 1t nearly buried the
pumping engines and boilers.
Engineer Killion was in the pumproom
and his brother and child were in the boiler
room. The engineer was struck in the face
by brick and badly cut. The brother,
seizing the child in his arms. jumped
behind the strong brick smokestack just
in time 10 escape the rush of
water. Where the pipe parted from the
base the heavy stone masonry crumbled
under the force of the water, and the one
eighth inch steel plates were curled up like
paper. The engineers house was wrecked
and his wife and mother-in-law slightly in
jured.
1t is supposed that a great quantity of ice
having formed during the winter, became
wedged on the upper side of the pipe, and
the pumps forcing the water into the space
beneath the immovable plug of ice was too
great strain upon the pipe. The water COM
panv is owned by private persons. most of
its stockholders being New York men. The
loss is about $25, 900.

DO WOMEN CARE TO vOTEi

The Experiment in Atchison Seems to Show
They Do Not.
ATCHIsoN, KAN, March 29.-The equal
suffrage movement in Atchison is dying
out.
The law giving women the right to vote at
municipal elections in cities of the irst-class
in Kansas was adopted by the Legislature in
1885, The following spring 496 women
registered, but less than 300 voted. The
next year 481 women registered, but only
S75 voted. The third year 291 women reg
istered, but less than 900 voted. This year
224 women registered, and it is believed
that not over 100 will vote.
The leaders of the movement are becom-
ing discouraged and many have fallen by
the wayside. One woman is now serving
her second term on the School Board, but
she is not an equal suffragist, and was
elected by the votes of men and without op-
position.
When women have run as equal suffrage
candidates they have invariably been de-
feated.
Two women are now making political
fight for places on the School Board, and
all the female teachers in the city have reg
istered for the sole purpose of voting against
them. The equal suffrage movement in
Atchison is not popular.

Colored People at an Entertainment Fired

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.r
NEW ORLEANS, March 29.-News has
been received here of diabolical deed conf
mitted Saturday night in the New Zion
Church neighborhood, about eight miles from
Liberty, Miss, just across the Louisiana
line. During a colored school examination
and concert at Parson Hills school house,
the assemblage was thrown in wild conster-
nation by the loud report of gun. Some
unknown miscreant had fired a double
barreled shotgun, heavily charged with
bird shot, through an open window, point
blank at the unsuspecting victims, IA of
whom we're more or less seriously wounded.
Baldwin HAYNES was the worst sufferer, as
he will probably lose one of his eyes.
A number of white people, residents of
the neighhorhood. were present at the time
to witness the exercises. The strangest part
of the affair is that the authorities of the
county have made no efforts whatever look
ing to the capture of the perpetrator of the
dastardly deed.

But the Connecticut Controversy as Far
From Settlement as Ever.
HARTFORD, CONN, March 29.-For five
hours to-day the quartet composing the
"Olive Branch" Committee of the Senate
argued and talked in an effort to reach a so-
luton of the deadlock. Senator Pierce, the
Democratic leader, acted in place OF Senator
Seymour who was unable to be present.
The sessions were behind locked doors. The
six olive branches already submitted to the
Senate were considered and ais new one
presented by Allan Lincoln. The new plan
is to count the 100 "for" ballots and let
everything 60. This would defeat Morris.
The committee remained in session two
hours as a whole. Senators Pierce and
Thayer were closeted ior an hour, as were
also Senators Shumway and Clark, the Re-
publican members. The committee then
met again, and at o'clock adjourned until
1890 Monday, with no proposition agreed
upon. Neither side would surrender, and
hence the two parties are as far apart US
ever.
