PARIS, Jan. 2.-The Temps says the
government is ON the eve of concluding a
convention with the United States for a
partial application of the minimum
tariff. This agreement. the Temps says,
differs from those now pending between
France and some other European powers
in requiring hat it be submitted to par
lament for ratification. The new con-
vention. the Temps adds. secures a con-
tinuance on the American free list of a
number of French products. including
skins. sugars and molasses. The paper
further avs hat President Harrison in
tended. on Jan. l to enforce against
these products a duty applicable to i'm
ports from countries that refused to CEN
cede to the United States the reciprocal
advantages.
To secure the unbroken enjoyment of
exemptions from the payment of those
duties, NJ. Ribot, minister of foreign
affairs, negotiated the convention referred
to, by the terms Of which the United
States gets a minimum tariff on its pro-
ducts entering France. the export value of
which amounts to $4,000. 600 francs annu.
ally. and which equal in value the French
products exempted from duty by the
United States

At 1918 p. m. the jury returned a YER
dict Of guilty of murder in the first de-
gree.
DR.. Graves was sitting behind his at
torney. Judge Furman and as the verdict
was read he gave violent start, almost
leapinR from his chair. Perspiration in
stantly started and great drops of sweat
dropped from his forehead. He then
covered his face with his hands and was
silent. His attorney, Forman, took the
verdict equally as hard snd actually shed
tears. The judge asked Furman if he
desired the jury polled and the latter
savagely replied no." but made a mo-
ton for q new trial.

thought of the verdict be replied that it
was a great shock and surprise to him.

Story OF the Persecution.

LONDON, Jan. kilograms have
been received here from Congo which con-
firm the statements made by Father
Ohrwalder. He said forty Europeans
we're in the hands of the Mahdists at
Ondurman. They are loaded with man
acles and are cruelty beaten. In telling
the mode of life while in captivity, Father
Ohrwalder said Mahdi granted no provis-
VISION for the subsistence of the captives,
but allowed them sufficient liberty to earn
q living Is best they could.
Father Ohrwalder lived by tailoring
and weaving, and the sisters by baking
and selling bread. During the last
eighteen months the fugitives lived in
mud huts. but previously their only shell
ter was made with their own hands from
cane stalks. They describe Khartoum as
being all destroyed excepting only the
Austrian church and Gen. Gordon's
palace, and they say vegetation is covering
the sites of the houses.
During two years famine and small
pox made fearful ravages in Soudan.
Maize rose to ten times its normal value,
but now food is plenty and cheap. Today's
advices from CONGO c~orroborate Father
Ohrwalder's report OF the waning power
of the Dervishes in the southwestern part
of Soudan. They state frequent conflicts
have occurred between the Mahidists and
native chiefs and the latter were often
victorious. Father Ohrwalder and the
Sisters travelled direct from Korosko to
Cairo and a dispatch received from the
last named city stated the priest. in speak
ing of affairs in Soudan, had said
numerous widows of Mahdi are COM
planning that Khalifs Abdallah does not
provide them with a maintenance befttin z
their station. and their grievance have
been supported by Khalifa Ally Sperf.
The latter also opposes Abdallah's
scheme Of the mahdiship succession
hereditary instead as provided for by Ma
hommed. These dissentions are weaken
ing the power of the mahdism and Father
Ohrwalder says the people would welcome
any chance to relieve them from its tyr
amy.

Sherman's Favorite Nominated
for the Spsakership.
Calico Charlie" Telegraphs
Sherman Congratulations.
Foraker Persists that He is
Still the Winner.
Pays His Respects to the Ma
ti0nal Administration.
The Fight Wakes Warm.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 1.-The SEN
atorial contest is still unsolved, the
speakership contest is over. Laylin, the
Sherman candidate. is nominated, but the
result has failed to bring that cheerful
acquiescence so inevitable hat the Sher-
man people SO confidently expected from
Foraker and bis followers. Indeed the
doughty ex-governor has lost none of that
conviction of ultimate success which has
characterized his actions throughout,
il his words and outward demeanor tonight
are any criterion of his inward thoughts.
The Sherman men say the fight is over,
that all that remains is but the perfunctory
formality.
Foraker men say the fight Is just be-
ginning to get interesting. There is one
other prominent Ohio Republican, beside
Senator Sherman, who does not share the
view Of the friends of Foraker. This is
Secretary of the Treasury Foster, who
telegraphed congratulations to Senator
Sherman as soon as he heard the result Of
the speakership caucus. "Foster has
been all the time the agent of the admin
istration in its effort to elect Sherman and
this itelegram is but q scheme to de-
morslize u forces and cause q stampede
to Sherman" said George Cox of Cincin-
natl, chief lieutenant OF Foraker.
II am not discouraged said Foraker
calmly, and l still expect to Win. Five
men voted for Laylin who will vote for
me-"
There was an air of intense discourage
ment in the Foraker quarters Immediately
after the caucus. but the cheerful words
of the ex-governor soon restored . feeling
of confidence. Until tonight the Foraker
phalanx have apparently forgotten the
very cold wave that swept over their
camp but a very few hours since.
Around the headquarters of Senator
Sherman this evening WAS all the cheer
fulness of expectsnt victory.
The Associated Press would like to
know, senator, how YOU regard the situa-
ton now he was asked.

What do you expect our majority to
be in the JOINT caucus?"
"Oh, / don't BAY as 10 figures" replied
the senator. Il expect to be nominated,
and do not know that figures are at all

1t is generally understood the senatorial
joint caucus will not be held until We'd

EIGHT MICHIGAN ELECTORS

Claimed by the Chairman OF the Republican
State Central Committee.
DETROIT, Nov. 3-The campaign now
nearly closed has been marked by compara-
lively few external evidences of excitement,
or the activity that manifests itself in brass
bands, torchlight professions and barroom
and open-air oratory, and the casual observ-
er has arrived at the conclusion that it be-
tokens public apathy in the issues now be-
fore the country. Politicians who are en-
rapport with the situation affirm that the
so-called apathy is disproved by the facts
There never was, they say, a Presidential
campaign in which there was so much real
activity as there has been in the present one
Senator Mcmillan, Chairman of the Re-
publican State Central Committee, pre-
diets that from the best information at his
command, Rich will be elected Governor by
a plurality of from 1000 to $4,000. He
also says that majority of the legislators
will be elected by his party, which will en-
able the Republicans to retain their United
States Senator by a few votes As to Con-
gressmen, he declared that large gains will
be made in the number elected the last
time, and adds that eight of the IA Presi-
dental electors are safe. At Democratic
headquarters no figures are given out, but
the election of Governor and more than
half of the Presidential electors is declared
to be certain.

TAMMANY ONCE MORE

Enthusiastically Swallows the Nominees OF
the Chicago Convention.
NEW YORK, Nov. 3-The announcement
that Tammany Hall was to hold another
mass meeting tonight to ratify the nomina-
tion OF Cleveland and Stevenson attracted
an immense throng to the vicinity of the
Wigwam. The same scenes as were wit
messed at Tammanv's meeting last week
were repeated tonight. Before O'Clock
the people began to gather, and long before
the speaking began the block from Third to
Fourth avenues and that from Fourteenth
to Fifteenth streets were blocked with
people. The streets were ablaze with gas.
electric and calcium lights and fireworks
Practically there were ten meetings going
on at once.
1t was exactly o'clock when Senator
George F. Roesch, escorting Joseph j.
O'Donohue and followed by most of the 80
Tammanv leaders, several well-known Tam
many men and United States Senators
Eustis and Carlisle filed on to the platform
in the main hall of the wigwam and took
their seats.
Joseph J. O'Donohue, as Chairman,
opened the meeting with brief speech,
long list of Vice Presidents and Secretaries
rick read letter from Senator German,
which was received with much applause.
After saying that campaign work alone
kept him away, Senator German continues:
cannot, however. permit the occasion to
pass without saying that the completeness
oil your union, and manly and eloquent ut-
terances of Senator Hill, and your efforts
and enthusiasm have made it absolutely
certain that the electoral vote of New York
will be cast Tor the nominees OF the Demo-
cratic party. Democrats in other
States heretofore considered doubtful
have taken courage from your ex.
ample, and will show upon the
day of election that they have learned from
You how to achieve victory. The
people are turning to that man whose off,
cial life closed without stain upon its
crowded pages-GrOver Cleveland. He has
said that he has neither friends to reward
nor enemies to punish, and his history in
office affords sure guarantee Of an honest
and wise administration of the high office Of
President of the United States. They are
turning to him in such numbers in all
the States that all the wealth controlled
by the members of the Republican
party cannot, 1 believe. alter the re-
suit ii you and l and all earnest
Democrats give ourselves up from now until
the close oil the day of election to the sup
cratic party. Its life is involved in the
issue, and You and we must defend it, This
is duty which we owe to our country, our
party and ourselves.
The orators of the evening were then
attentively listened to, after which the big
meeting was closed at late hour.

RED-HOT REPUBLICANISM
Dealt Out to q Huge Meeting of Bankers,
Merchants and Brokers.


Merchants and Brokers.
NEW YORK, Nov 3-About 5000
bankers, merchants and brokers and their
clerks filed the sidewalks and streets in
front and about the sub-Treasury steps on
Wall street to-day, and listened to the
Republican orators who spoke under the
auspices of the Republican Club of this
city. Captain Brainerd, the Chairman,
introduced L. E Chittenden, who devoted
hir remarks to the benefits arising from the
policy of the Republican administration.
Ex-Congressman Roswell G. Horr spoke
next He said he did not believe,
since the formation of the Government
of the United States, there had been
displayed a more pronounced piece of
egotism or more unmitigated impudence
than the speech of Grover Cleveland at the.
Lenox Lyceum. Cheers. Colonel Elliot
F. Shepard was the next speaker. He said
that Benjamin Harrison was the only
national candidate running for the Presi-
dency, because Mr.. Cleveland's party had
surrendered Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Ne
brsska, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Wyoming and Minnesota, having with
drawn their electoral ticket there in the
interests of the Weaver party, and could
not therefore be accepted in any sense of
the word as national party.
Assistant Treasurer Ellis 81. Roberts
next spoke. After paying his respects to
Mr.. Cleveland's Lenox Lyceum speech and
referring to an Alliance. Democratic fusion
in the West, he said:
In case this fusion scheme works. the
Populists may become masters of the Demo
cratic party in all it's policy, Victory for
Cleveland would put the Populists on top
and it would be the most scandalous COM
bine in American politics. Mr. Cleveland
ceases to be an idol when he is found to bow
down to the Alliance, the Populists and
Weaver. When the Chicago convention
passed resolutions to appeal the prohibitive
tax on Sta ate banknores it went far toward
the ground of the Alliance, and if elected,
Mr. Cleveland cannot well help signing
bill to which his party is already pledged.
