INTERNATIONAL CHAT FROM PARIS.
What Newspapers and Public Men Say OF
Topics of the Hour.

What Newspapers and Public Men Say OF
Topics of the Hour.
PARIS, May 8.-French newspapers are
absorbed in a discussion of the effect Of the
Italian crisis upon the political situation in
Europe. The Journal holds that the cause of
the crisis is the financial embarrassment
arising from military expenditures, and that
reduction of the expenditures is newt
able.
The Gd,t,ois publishes dispatches from Vi
emma and Berlin saying that the Austrian
and German governments recognize the
gravity of the situation, and adds that King
connection with the Dreibund, must sue
cumb to financial necessities. A decrease of
her armaments will modify Italys foreign
policy.
THE Temps says: mo compromise Min
istry is possible. Italy must be resolute.
The adoption of a pacific policy and a reduc-
tion of her army will be of advantage to the
peace of Europe" The Mutin predicts that
Italy will continue to permit King Humbert
to impose the Drebund upon Italy until
their sufferings drive them to revolution.
THE approach of the Presidential cam
paign in the United States attracts much'at-
tention in France. NJ. Pressense, the we'll
known foreign editor of Temps, said to-day:
1--WE follow closely American national and
municipal elections because French Repub-
licans want to see just what democracy is
when left to develop freely Next, we are
studying the probable effect of the Presi-
dental election on international commerce.
France wants a modification of the McKin-
ley law, but she would not like to see n free
coinage law. If an international monetary
conference will end the dispute. nothing will
please rs better. Nothing can be done with
out Englands cooperation. Mr.. Goschen,
after flirting with bi-metallism, seems to
have dropped it,
M. ZoLA, referring to the Anarchist
scare, said: "This excitement is much ado
about nothing. My verdict is that the An
archists are few in number; they have no or.
ganization, and that the most they can do is
to blow up few more houses. Then public
opinion will support summary justice dealt
in the streets. The lynch law will speedily
silence the advocates OF Anarchy. 1 am not
a Socialist militant. 1 favor evolution, not
revolution. Socialism is nothing akin to
anarchism.
BARON DE FAvA, the italian Minister to
the United States, was seen by a reporter
while he was passing through Paris en- route
to Southampton to take the steamer for New
York. The Baron said he desires it to be
known in the United States that he returns
to his post with real pleasure.

st Louis Wants to See a Cruiser.

ST. Louis, May s.-The successful plotting

tematic effort to secure from the Navy De-
partment an order that the vessel proceed

A VALUABLE point is brought up by the
Wellsboro Gazette which says that law
passed in 1873 provides that any person
liable to road tax who plants on the line of
the public highway any fruit, shade or forest
trees shall be credited on his road taxes at
the rate of one dollar for every four trees SO
set out. The possibility that this might
result in total disappearance Of road taxes
does not interfere with the recommendation
that this provision shall be noted in the
next Arbor Day proclamation. Road taxes
as now applied do little good anyhow, and
the departure indicated might inaugurate
new system of solid and shaded highways.

The House of Representatives has cut
down the salaries of about sixty foreign
Consuls, by amounts ranging from l6 to 50
per cent. This represents saving of $780,
900 to $4,000. But we have not heard that
the House has cut down any of its own
clerkships, or any of the appropriations to
be spent in the districts of the members. 1t

Then the Messenger Boy Does the Rest for

New YORK, May s-A Brooklyn lady mar
rfed about a year ago. found a few months
since that her husband had become so
enamored of club life that he spent about
six nights out of the week with his male
friends. leaving her to enjoy life as best she
could alone. Her resourcefu1 mind did not,
however, permit her to sit about the house
and NOPE.
She hit upon a splendid scheme. one that
is entirely novel and that might be en-
ployed by disconsolate wives in other Sec
tions. Whenever she is now left alone she
just rings for messenger boy and has him
spend the evening with her. reading to her
if she feels like it, or detailing interesting
matters that may have fallen under his OBJ
servation during the dav. That woman will
get on, and the probabilities are that the
husband will give up his clubs.

MES had been committed, covering
period of several weeks, and the matter

The Baker Damage Suit.

The trial of Mrs. Bakers $55, ,705 20
damage suit against the Southern Cali

the Laguna ranch by the floods of 1889,
was resumed before Judge Van Dyke
yesterday morning. After the introduc-
ton of some documentary evidence, the
plaintiff closed, and the introduction of
testimony for the defense was begun.
This consisted, first, of the introduc-
ton of several documents by Judge
Brunson, including copy of the patent
to the Laguna ranch from the govern
ment, deed of the city of Los Angeles
to the California Central Railway COM
pany, dated April 13, 1888. for land for
right of way, the consideration being
that the road should build levee along
the west bank of the river, from Macy
street to line south of First street, ac-
cording to specifications approved
by the city surveyor; an ordi-
nance approved by the city council
December %, 1886, providing for the
construction of the levee by the River
side, Santa Ana and Los Angeles rail-
way company, afterwards taken in by
the Southern California company; an
ordinance approved March 2, 1887,
changing the official bed of the river &C.
cording to Fred Eaton's survey, and
copy Of motion by Councilman Collins
to adopt the recommendation Of the
board of public works, accepting the
levee.
Elk City Engineer Fred Eaton was ex-
amined at some length about the history
of the lovee construction and changing
Of the official bed of the river, and al
most all the remainder Of the day was
taken up in the examination of Charles
W. Sanders, an engineer of the railroad
company, in regard to the lines of the
the causes of the break below the
lsvee, from the railroad company's stand
point.
As far as developed, the compsny's
defense to the suit will be that it had a
right to protect it's property, owning the
land up to the levee, and that it is not
liable for any damage that accrued.
The trial will be resumed this morning.
