FRENCH TARIFF ACT,
The United States VIII Re Subjected to
Maximum Duties.

PARIS, Oct. 25.-The new tariff act can
not be promulgated before the end of the
present year. Therefore there will not
be sufficient time to make it a subject of
negotiations between the powers before
the treaties with them lapse The gov
ernment accordingly will introduce in the
chamber of deputies, a bill TO authorize
them to establish commercial relations
with foreign nations.
During the year 1892, a minimum tariff
will be applied to Belgium, Holland,
Switzerland, Spain, Portugal and Sweden,
treaties with which nations will expire in
February, on the condition that those
powers grant to France their lowest tariff
rates. Minimum tariff will also be con-
ceded to those nations now having the
most favored treatment, which include
Great Britain, Russia, Mexico and Turkey.
On the other hand. the United States,
Italy and ROumania, are subject to a max
imum tariff. The French government
will request the powers to revive during
the year 1892, the treaties relating to nav
igation, trade marks, etc.
The history of the debate in the sena-
torial committee in regard to the PROPOSE
tion for resembling the prohibition on
American pork, goes to show that the sem
ators who are opposed, first urged duty
of A. francs and then 30 francs per 100
kilos in lieu of the resembling measure, at
length passed it, when it was amended to
25 francs, and the opposing senators think
it ought not TO be lower than Germany's
rate. The government. however, will de-
mand of the Senate vote of a 20 frame 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 governments demand. Senator De
cauville, in an interview with an Associ-
ated Press representative, said the fact
that the hygienic objection to the intro
duction of American pork has disappeared
would greatly help the measure through
the Senate

Over a Game of Black Jack.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 25.--The United
States steamer Mohican arrived today
from Bering sea, where she has been en-
gagged in protecting seals from sealing
pirates. During the cruise she captured
two schooners, both of which were Cana
dians. In each case it was necessary to
fire solid shot across the bow of the vessel
before it would surrender.
About month ago Andrew Johnson,
captain of the forecastle, fell from the
foreyard, smashing his skull and dying in
stantly.
The voyage was not pleasant, owing to
almost continual rains and fogs and the
inability to procure any fresh meat. All
are well on board, however.
The Mohican will probably go to Mare
island
The accident occurred in the Mohi-
cans boiler-room on the way from
Unalaska which might have been very
serious. Three days out the out
board delivery valve chamber cracked
nearly through. The break occurred on a
big pipe which furnishes cold sea water tor
the condensers. The vessel was put under
sail and after twelve days work new valve
was substituted. Had there been a break
instead of bad crack, the vessel would
probably have gone to the bot
tom. AS it was, in spite of all
efforts the cracked valve leaked
several thousand gallons before the aper-
ture could be temporarily closed. 1t was
very difficult to get at the valve to repair
it. The Mohicans boilers are in a very
bad condition and it is believed she will go
out of commission shortly.

A SENSATIONAL SERMON.
DIR. Brown, of Tacoma, breaches on
Local Prison Reform.

TACOMA, Oct. 25.-[ Special. AT the
First Congregational church this evening
the Rev. G. O. Brown preached a some
what sensational sermon on local prison
reform. A portion of the county Jail is
under the sidewalk, and the preacher con-
Sidered that and other portions OF
the building unhealthy. He advocated
the immediate completion of the prison
portion of the county courthouse, and the
removal of county prisoners into it. He
also dwelt upon the city jail as being un-
healthy and disgraceful place to incar-
cerate woman.
Then he reviewed the class of prisoners
confined at the county jail in particular.
One man. in the last stages of consump-
ton, made his bed on the floor. Bank
Robber Edward Albertson Jared better
than his colleagues, as he was provided
with a cot. But while denouncing the
conditions under which prisoners are de-
tanned at the county Jail, Mr.. Brown did
not find fault with the management of the
affairs of the sheritf's office.
The confinement of prisoners at the ex-
pense of the county for long terms on
trivial charges was roundly condemned.
One man, he said, was confined for OBJ
LdlHlllS money uHueT ldlse pTeJenSeS. tie
wanted to know if that was a great crime.
If it was, and men who practice it are to
be thrown into the county Jail, he asked
if the jail would not be overcrowded with
many citizens of Tacoma, such, for in
stance, as sell corner lots and good view
of the Sound and the mountain to Eastern
investors. He intimated that some at
least might be guilty of obtaining money
under false pretenses.
Another prisoner, the preacher declared,
was detained at the county Jail for forni-
cation. He again referred to the possible
overcrowding of the Jail if all who are
guilty of that offense were confined there.
This portion of the sermon was finally dis
pensed with by jab at the mockery
of such justice, reference being made
to the confinement of a man at the coun-
tvs expense within the sound of the
laughter on Opera alley. Tacoma's Opera
alley is miniature of Seattle's White
chanel

The Third Lumber Mill Destroyed.

SANTA CRUZ, Cal, Oct. 25.-Dougherty'
mill, located about five miles above Boul-
der creek, on a branch of the Southern
Pacific railroad, was burned to the ground
SATURDAY. night The loss on the mill, ma
chinerv and manufactured lumber is esti
mated at $4,000. The cause of the fire is
unknown, and there was no insurance.
The mill is one of the largest in the coun-
ty, and has been turning out forty to fifty
car loads of manufactured lumber per
day. Fully 100 men will be thrown out OF
employment This is the third mill be-
longing to the Santa Cruz Valley Mill
Company that has been destroyed by fire
within four years. James Dougherty, su-
perintendent, was absent at the time, but
two watchmen were on duty, and the mill
was supposed to be fire-proot.

Dillon Appeals for support TO Irish
WOrkingmen.

DUBLIN, Oct. 25.--John Dillon addressed
demonstration of workingmen at Dun
dalk yesterday, and made a fattering ap-
peal for their support. He dilated upon
the stupidity of trying to quarrel with
England after all the trouble and time that
has been occupied in securing her friend
ship. 1t was a terrible thing To ask Ire
land with her steadily dwindling popula-
ton TO break with Gladstone at the risk of
postponIng home rule another decade. If
this spirit faction is permitted 10 spread,
before two years were over they would
have as many parties as there are Irish
members and be as they were fifteen years
ago, when every man was for himself.

NEW RAILROAD Project.
Survey for Line to Bring Portland
Closer to Eastern Washington.

PORTLAND, Oct. IS Special. w. B.
Loss, well-known Eastern contractor
who has been in Portland some time,
portant undertaking, which is MOTH
ing less than a survey of a line
from Klickitat east over the Cascade
mountains. Mr.. Loss is known as having
built large amount of Eastern
railroad work, including the Cairo
and Memphis bridges. The prof.
ect of coming into Portland in
more direct way from the Palouse coun-
try than either the Union or Northern
Pacific have, is no new one, but
has generally been associated of late
with either Northern Pacific
line from North Yakima to
Chehalis, or one for the same road either
down the Columbia or by way of klickitat.
There are indeed maps extant which show
a projected line from Klickitat to Bender,
taking in Goldendale. Mr.. Loss says the
present undertaking is made by an English
syndicate intimately associated with James
Hill, and if the ascent and descent of
the Cascade range above klickitat can be
made with nothing over a per cent.
grade, Hill will build the road to eastern
connection. The project, Mr.. Loss says, is
fraught with considerable uncertainty.
Two corps of engineers have already sue
ceeded in running lines to the summit, but
lost them in trying to get down on the
other side. He is confident. however. it
can be done, and will leave for Vancouver
with fifteen or twenty men the first part
of the week.

NO DEMAND YET MADE.
The Time Not Ripe to Ask Satisfaction
of Chile,

LONDON, Oct. 26.-The Times, referring
to the Baltimore affair at Valparaiso, saws:
cit Is clear that a brutal outrage was
committed and that the Washington
City government has good prima facie
case TO demand satisfaction. but the time
has not yet come when such demand could
properly be pressed. If made now it would
be made in hot blood and based upon
incomplete information. 1t is not for 4
great and powerful nation like the
United States to deal in this high
handed fashion with weak
neighbor. Arguing that Chilli is
recovering from regime of bad gov
ernment, the attack on the Baltimore's
sailors may be regarded as an insane act in
the drama. Americas strong aggressive
policy will tend TO enhance the
difficulties of a government which already
has hard enough time to maintain law
and order"
