AFRENCHuBERTINE KILLED.

CANNES, France. Feb. 1S.-There was in
tense excitement in the large American
colony today. Edward Parker Deacon, a
native of the United States, and one of
the most prominent visitors here, shot and
killed Frenchman named Arbeille. his
wife's paramour. Deacon and his wife,
with their four children, have been So
journiug here for some time. Deacon,
suspecting that his wife was unduly in
timent with Arabeilie, who was connected
with the French diplometic service, kept
close watch on her actions. at midnight
last night his suspicious were confirmed.
Procuring a revolver he aroused the
clerk of the hotel and asked him to ac-
company him TO his wife's room. Knock
ing at her door and receiving no answer,
he forced open the door and entered. In
an adjoining room, which opened from
that in which his wife slept he found
Arbeille attempting to hide himself behind
the chairs. Deacon at once fired three
shots at him, two of which took effect.
The shooting alarmed the people in the
hotel, and, for time the greatest excite
ment prevailed The wounded man was
carried to his own room and doctors were
summoned. They could do nothing ex-
cept to alleviate his pain, and this morn
ing he died.
Deacon was arrested, but the general
opinion among the American residents
here is that he did lust the right thing"

THE FRENCH TARIFF.

PARIS, Feb. 1S.-The motion by NJ. La
fargue, son-in-law of Carl Marx. IN the
chamber of deputies to abrogate the new
tariff 80 far AS it imposed duty on articles
of food IS the expression of feeling that
has been gaining strength in Paris and
other cities among the class that NJ
Latargue represents. NJ Mesureur. a
deputy from Paris, says on the subject:
Nv hat Is the most deplorable is the in
crease of the tariff which affects the neces-
sarles of life. Taking "A workman who
earns, let Us say |, 500 francs year, and
what do we finds That he viii have to pay
at least several hundred francs more taxes

but, alas when once a tradesman raises

never.

who voted with NJ. I4afargue. said that no
time should be lost in returning to the old
system.

A KANSAS CITY HOWL.

KANSAS CITY, Feb 1S-A morning &
paper prints the following:
The complications arising from the
order of the Kansas railroad commission
ers to reduce fifth class freight rates in
Kansas are increasing. From present in
dicatiOns the Kansas commission has
forced the railroads into a position which
will soon result in a fight in the courts.
The autocratic action of the Kansas
board has not only injured Kansas City
Jobbers, but for the sake of benefitting
Wichita, Hutchinson, Salina and Arkan-
sas City, the commissioners have crippled
four of the largest cities in the state. In
setting out to injure S.. Joseph and Kan
sas City the board crippIes the jobbers of
Topeka, Atchison, Leavenworth, Kansas
City, Kan, and Lawrence, all of which are
shut out OF the trade in Kansas aud the
Indian Territory. Even the compromise
the railroads secured is a serious blow to
the Jobbing interests Of the towns men
toned, as well as to the retail dealers
throughout the state.
"A movement is on foot to counteract
the injury done and the chances are that it
viii eventually be successful. The whole
sale grocerS OF this city are preparing to
take action IN the matter, but no definite
plan has been decided upon.
"A meeting of the Kansas City grocers
was held here Tuesday afternoon and the
I'iAtOtSi vas dloCuoSCNY UNJ Ohlu2 W Il I'LL
ference OF opinion as to the best plan to
pursue, no decision was reached. Another
meeting will be held soon, and it is ex-
pected that the Jobbers of other Missouri
river towns will join in the movement
"One plan suggested is to make up a
case and carry it before the interstate com
merce commission, but the objection to
this is the length of time it will take to Sc
cure decision. Another plan, and the
one which may be adopted, is to bring
suit In the courts against the railroads on
the ground of gross discrimination.
The charges can be fully subStantiated
and a favorable decision could be expected
under the present state of affairs. From
the Missippi river to Kansas points, be-
cause of the commissioners order, the
rate on sugar is 30 cents hundred, cent
less than the rate from Atchison.
From the Mississippi river to Kansas
City the rate on sugar is 20 cents hun
dred, carload lots, and from Kansas City
to Kansas points the rate is Al cents, which
gives the Kansas City jobber rate of 61
cents, against a rate OF 80 cents from the
river. The situation is forced
practically by the Kansas commissioners,
but the only recourse is to bring suit !
against the railroad companies in the
courts. There is general feeling among
the Jobbers along the Missouri river in |
favor of fighting the case i'll the courts and
1t is gaining ground daily. There is every
indication OF concerted movement in this |
direction at an early day."

THE NEW ORLEANS FIRE,

New ORLEANS, Feb. 1S-Two millions
of money went up in smoke last night, by
the destruction of the largest retail dry
goods establishments in the city. AT this
hour 90 a. m) the palatial stores of A.
Schwartz g. Sons, Amos Runkle, S. G.
Kreeger. gloves, millinery and fancy goods;
Philip W. Werlin, pianos and musical in
struments; kraus Bros, fancy goods and
notions; w. Z. Clevering, retail drugs;
John McClosky, confectionery; James NJ.
Hoffman, worsteds and fancy goods; l..
Niple, gloves and perfumery, and Wen
gers concert hall. are in ruins. The scene
of the fire. ..was;on Canal street, the principle
thoroughfare of the city, at the point where
it is intersected by Bourbon. Schwartz
& Sons establishment occupied the corner
of Canal and Bourbon. At 10 o'clock D. M
waiter in Morgan's restaurant, on the
opposite side of Canal street, perceived a
small tongue of fame licking its way along
the cornice of the roof of the Schwartz
building, and hastened to give the alarm.
The department responded promptly. but
experienced great difficulty in getting to
work, and the whole edi6ce was ablaze
before stream could be brought to bear
upon it. The flames spread rapidly, and
soon completed the havoc. The only acci-
dent noted is an injury to a fireman caused
by flying debris.
Schwartz g. Sons stock was valued at
over $oOU, ,UUO and was insured for SS6O 600,
and the building for S35, 900, considerably
below its value. Kreeger had $50. 900 on
his stock, and the others were insured in
proportion. The individual losses, so far
as they can be ascertained, are as follows:
A. Schwartz & Sons, $500, 000-insurance,
$3.50 600; Wenger's garden, $50, ,O00-insured:
Krauz Bros, $40, 0,000-partly insured:
Philip Werlin, S75, ,000-insured. There
were a number of other minoralosses The
buildings destroyed, collectively, are esti-
mated to be worth fully a quarter of mil
lion, while many other buildings were
badly damaged. as well as their contents,
and not included in the above estimated
loss.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb 1S-Colonei Simon
Toby, editor OF the States. in an, interview,
stated that the actual loss by the fire last
night would amount to 81, loo, 900 and that
the insurance will foot up $780, 900. The
general opinion is that the fire was caused
by an electric light wire.
CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 1S.-A ive-story
block. occupied by the f. N. McGillin
Dry Goods company is now on fire, and
will be total loss. The proprietors say
that the stock is worth 500, 900. The loss
on the building is $50, 600. 1t is feared
that the watchman of the building has
been burned to death, as he mas not been
seen since the fire broke out The build
ings on either side were also damaged to
some extent

BEECHAM's PILLS are faithful friends.
ARID LANDS.

WASHINGTON. Feb. S-Representative
Lanhan of Texas, chairman of the select
committee on irrigation Of arid lands in
the house is an ardent advocate of the
measure TO cede arid lands TO the states in
which they are located. He is himse the
author OF a bill for that purpose. His com
mlttee is in favor of the measure and will
report to the house as soon as the details of
bill embodying the most essential points
OF strong and comprehensive measure are
agreed upon. The general sentiment OF
the committee Is in effect that the arid
lands OF each state present seperate and
distinct conditions from those of every
other state, and that, therefore general
legislation, such as congress may enact,
does not equitSbly apply its benefits The
committee holds that the arid lands are
held IN trust by the government for actual
settlers, and that each state that has large
tracts of arid lands within its boundaries
is interested IN facilitating the settlement
of the same; that therefore. they
should have control and dispose of
them to settlers who desire To
locate within their borders. The
government has no actual use for these
lands, while the states have Legislatures
Can better enact for the control aud recla
nation OF such lands than congress Thev
understand the peculiar requirements of
each section, and can meet them at first
hand which congress eau not do In Civ
ing these lands 10 the states, Mr. Lehman
thinks they can be made to contribute
materially to the development Of the
country. Finally, the committee thinks
that irrigation and reclamation OF arid
lands OF the United States will involve
such enormous cost that the government
VIII never appropriate the sums needed 70

ion.
