The Little Jew-Baiter Cut a Swell
Figure at the Reichstag OpeuiHg.
New YORK, July 5.-The HeTdlds
Berlin correspondent, describing the
coming together of the Reichstag yes
terday, says: At IL o'clock this morn
ing, an hour ahead of the appointed
time, Herr Ahlwardt, quite transform
ed, having just paid an evident visit to
a barber aud wearing a eapacious even.
ing dress coat, magnificent white waist
coat and silk hat, paused awhile outside
the palace to allow can admiring
crowd TO gaze on him. He then entered
to witness the curtain rise upon the
first scene Of the new Reichstag. BY
twelve o'clock the rest OF the men,
bers arrived at the famous
White Hall. Soon after Ahlward6
had secured his place he saw the Kali
ser, who cordially hates him and who
was in full uniform, assembled the
throne to make his long expected
speech, q speech which lasted ten
minutes in all. 1t told the little Rec
tor nothing new; merely that old Reich
stag had been dissolved because it
refused to vote the Military bill; thai
to strengthen the army was absolutely
necessary for the safety Of the empire
and the peace of Europe; that the Kai-
ser trusted that the patriotism and
self sacrifice of the new members of the
house would not fail him and his
allies. The Reichstag members
assem- bled at 3 p. m. There
were many striking scenes of congratu-
lation and haUdshaking. Much curiOs-
ity was eviBced over the arrival Of
Count Herbert Won Bismarck, of whom
the labors of the election have made
quite a slim figure. On entering he
passed down the gangway between the
Conservatives aud Reichterists and took
q seat next Prince Won Hohenlohe.
He soon arose to greet his many
friends and for the rest OF the sitting
held sort of informal reception. 1t is
yet possible that he may be the future
leader OF that all powerful party In the
Relchstag representing the agricultural
interests.
Herr Lleber, leader Of the Centre, re-
ceived many congratulations. Herr
Richter stood looking tiercelY upon the
animated scene, and rich Nahn was
conspicuous figure, being in uniform.
On the roll call of members Ali
wardt's name came first. when he re-
piled in a loud voice, and the entire
house ro8red at his unusually smart
get up. The general opiHion of the
Kalser's speech is that it contained
nothing new.

THE BEER TAX.

Mr.. EDWARD ATKINSON, in his
scheme Of revenue reform, proposes
raising the tax on beer from 81 to 50 a
barrel. On the basis Of last years rev.
enue Of So, 900, 900, this would increase
the receipts from that source to sea-,
600, 600.
While this might be all right from a
fiscal point Of view, there are serious
objections to it. As an exchange points
out, It's first results would be TO en-
courage still further the methods Of de-
terloratiug the quality OF beer. The
use Of rice, glucose and other cheap ma
terlals in the manufacture Of beer in
in this country has been greatly in
creased since the Mckinley tariff put a
duty of 30 cents a bushel on Canadian
barley. BY doubling the internal tax
on beer the substitution Of these cheap
er materials for barley malt would be
still further increased. While consum-
ers would probably pay no more for a
glass Of beer they would get beer OF
poorer quality for their money.
Within a recent period beer has
largely suppIanted whisky and other
spirits as a popular drink. While the
consumption Of beer is increasing, the
consumption of whisky is steadily de-
clining, as the statistics CT production
demonstrate. On social considerations
it would be in the highest degree un.
wise to legislate so as TO arrest this
move ment for the sake OF few mill
ions OF revenue. For wise reasons the
government does not impose a tax upon
domestic wines; and the same reasons
ought to prevail against \ proposition
TO double she tax on beer.
If the Federal Government should
strictly enforce the laws relating TO
the collection Of revenues from beer
there would be less objection TO an In
crease Of the tax. For the prevention
OF fraud the law requires that distillerS
and brewers shall make regular returns
showing what materials they use in the
manufacture Of their products. While
the annual reports OF the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue show precisely
what materials are used In the produc-
tiou Of whisky, no Information is afford
ed in regard TO beer beyond a brief
statement Of the number OF barrels pro-
duced and the amount OF revenue col
lected. II the brewers make the re-
turns required by law there is no official
evidence Of the fact. 1t is quite as i'm,
portant that the people who pay $50,
600, 600 OF revenue upon beer should
know what materials enter into its pro-
duction as that the materials used in
the manufacture of whisky should be
annually published. In neglectinE 10
collate and TO publish the statistics Of
beer production. the officials OF the
Government have long been remiss in

THE WORK OF RESCUE.
Taking the Miners Out of Their Perilous
Position Under Ground.

LONDON, July 5.-The work Of rescu-
ing the living miners and OF recovering
the bodies Of the dead is being pushed
as rapidly as possible in Migrants col
liery, Thorn Hill, Yorkshire, the scene
Of yesterdays disastrous explosion that
entombed the day Shift OF one hun
dred and fOTty-fve men.
Late this evening the rescuers had
brought eighty-e eight bodies to the
surface. Two men were brought up in
an unconscious condition but still
breathing. The physicians who have
been around the pits mouth nearly all
the time since the accident occurred at
once took them in charge and hopes
are entertained that they Will recover.
Six men who had sustained no Injury
whatever, but had been imprisoned be-
hind a huge mass Of debris, were dug
out this evening. When they appeared
at the mouth Of the pit they were
greeted in a most touching manner by
their relatives aud friends. No reason
has been given for the explosion, but
the conjecture is that it was caused by
carelessness on the part OF one of the
miners in opening his lamp.

Continuing the seal Case Argument.

PARIS, July 5.-The Hon. Z. j. Phelps
to-day continued his closing address In be-
half Of the United States before the Boring
Sea tribunal of arbitration. He argued that
nations were entitled 70 employ force on the
seas. even in time of peace If ii was neces-
sary 70 protect their interests Pelagic
sealing, he said, had almost extermi-
mated the animals on which the sealing
industry of the United States depended.
There was no international law that de-
barred the United States from making the
seizures necessary to protect the sealing
industry. The right of protection extend
ed TO the open sea, and even to the terri
tory of a friendly nation under GER
tain circumstances. As an instance
in support of his contention on
this point Mr.. Phelps mentioned
the seizure by the British in American
waters Of a vessel that was preparing TO
take part in the Canadian rebellion In
the course Of his remarks MIR. Phelps de-
clared that the value of the sealing indus
try was the chief consideration in the pur-
chase of Alaska by the United States.
The country has little other present or pro
spcctive value. The Pelaglc sealers
included many Americans who were get
ting their vessels registered as British or
Canadian sealers. A limited number OF
these hunters consisted Of persons OF other
vacations who entered the sealing business
as a speculation. Many persons in London
were employed in the trade OF dressing
sealskins aud Great Britain should, there
fore, endeavor to preserve the seal herds
IN order that these people may De given
employment

WHBURToN, 1. T., July 5-Considerable
excitement is apparent here over what
action Gov. Johns will take in the matter
of committing the death sentence imposed
upon the seven ChOctaws now awaiting
execution at this place The Governor
has received a message from the authori-
ties at Washington asking If there is any
authority whereby the chief magistrate Of
the Choctaws may commute a sentense Of
death. What reply the Governor sent is
not known, but the general impression here
is that the execution will occur according to
present arrangements, as the Choctaw
law makes no provision whatever for
Communication OF sentences. 1t is generally
conceded however, that If the Governor
should fully submit to the demands OF the
general government for a release Of the
prisoners and not really murderers such
action would 20 far in the direction Of
allaying the bad blood engendered during
the last Choctaw campaign
If the war department is forced to arbi-
trary methods in order to quel the present
trouble not a few leading ChOctaws think
the result would be disasterous insthe end
and result in the overthrow entirely of
the present government

Associated Press Daily Worlds Fair spsciQl:
CHICAGO, July 5.-Two American re-
publfcs dedicated their buildings at the
Worlds Fair to-day-VeDeznela and
Costa Bica. The foreign buildings are
all now practically finished, and few
days will find the Fair complete
in It's entirety. The finances Of
the Exposition, too, are fast
assuming more satisfactory
condition, and the city of Chicago Is be,
coming truly grateful for the large num-
Der OF visitors from abroad. An even
ing paper estimates that ''in the period
embraced In the last twelve days of the
fair a sum ranging from S120, 600, 600 to
$50, 100000 will be brought Into Chi
cago by visitors and left here"
Certain IL is that every day shows q
gradual increase In the number Of at
tendance.
Matthew j. Swatek, one Of the stock
holders IN the Worlds Fair captive bal
loon company, flied a bill in the circuit
court to-day asking that receiver for
the company be appointed. Judge Col
Inns appointed Canute K. Matson to
take charge of the company's affairs.
The capital stock of the company Is
$50, 900 divided into 1000 shares which
it is claimed Is being dissipated by mis-
management.
In comDenting on the recent order
fromS Wsshington directing stringent
enforcement OF the customs laws at the
Worlds Fair, Collector Clark said to-
day:
1.-THE time was just ripe for such an
order, because with the precedent of
Ieniency established exhibitors were be-
ginning Reckless violation Of customs
laws, thinking they would get of easily
even if prosecuted. Hereafter, however,
exhibitors who dispose Of goods which
have not been released from bond will
be prosecuted to the full extent Of the
law. Ivan Levitte and Legare Robino-
Wiz, representing the Russian Silver
smith Co., of Moscow, who had
charge Of an exhibit IN
the Manufacturers building at the
Worlds Fair were arrested to-day,
chars ed with selling exhibits on which
duty had not been paid. They admitted
their offense, and were held to the grand
jury. The government will prosecute
the men and all similar cases hereafter.

Variations of a. Jest.

That there is very little that is new
under the sun is shown perhaps more
frequently in the jokes that are told
than in anything else. A story has
been going the rounds Of late concern
ing the trepidation Of small boy who
upon being asked rather grulliy by his
school teacher who discovered America,
began to whimper, and instinctiVely
blurted ont:
"P-please, sir, it wasn't mel"
This has its counterpart in an anus
ing schoo!-boy tale told many years ago
by an English teacher who believed In
the powers of the birch to restore fad
ing memory. Having asked one Of his
scholars the question, 'Who made this
glorious universe?" the boy replied: II
i don't know sir.
Come, " said the teabher, taking up
his switch, ''you must know. Tell me,
or shall whip you"
The boy looked at the whip a mo-
ment, and then with a characteristic
SWIVEL confessed:
please, teacher, I did, but l won't
do it again"

NO DANGER.

IN ulSCQssAub bno WOoA tuAln lUOoNiOh
on the basis assumed by the nigh tariff
men, namelyss that American wool could
not compete with foreign wool if the
duty we're removed. the Boston Herald
thoroughly demonstrates that on that
ground there can not be possibly any
thing to fear from removing the duty,
while there Is everything to hope. 1t
points out that the principal grades of
American wool are now as cheap,
or cheaper than the foreign wool,
and, therefore, so far as their
prices are concerned, already on
free trade basis, while there
is every reason to believe that the effect
of placing foreign wool on the free list
would be to increase the pricesl of do
nestle wool rather than to decrease
them.
The past three months in the North
ern States have been an exceptionally
cool season, unlike the conditions that
have prevailed on the other side Of the
Atlantic, where the weather has been
exceptionally hot and dry. The
effect in America has been
to restrict the sale Of light weight
woollen and worsted goods of all kinds.
The retail dealers have not had the de-
mand put upon them that they ordina-
rily have, and have not called upon the
wholesale dealers and manufacturers;
hence the latter now have on hand q
very considerable quantity Of clothing
and cloths which usually before this
time have been almost entirely disposed
OF. Large purchasers are show
ing no inclination to give orders
for the next spring season. The
wool that the manufacturers buy
at this time is largely intended for
wooden and worsted goods for next
spring and summer consumption, and
their demands for wool are largely con-
troled by the orders they receive or be-
lieve they will receive from these large
purchasers. As the latter are likely to
carry over to next season an unusually
large supply their orders are not given
with accustomed freeness, and the man
ufaeturers are not free purchasers.
This would lead to very material
decline IN the price of wool, even if
there were no other factor which en-
tered into the calculation.
Meanwhile, free wool creating de-
mand BY our manufacturers for foreign
woods will have the effect Of increasing
the price OF these In foreign markets,
and this will tend to strengthen the
prices Of American woods, while the OPP
portunity afforded OF using these
as mixtures with foreign woods may
cause a demand in certain quarters that
has never before existed. So far as con-
Germs the welfare OF those engaged in
the business, there has never been a
in the last thirty years when wool could
be made free with less inconvenience.
On this account the change is one
which should be made by Congress with
the least possible delay, for when once
made conditions will be established, and
the producer, the dealer end the manu-
facturer OF wool can clearly realize that
the bottom has been reached, so far as
prices are concerned, and hence each
can develop his business with the assur-
ance that whatever variations take place
will DO fluctuations which affect the
wool product Of the entire world.

CATS We. MANKIND.

kisquisltion upon one Of the unsolved
problems Of modern life, namely, the
proper balance between the rights Of
mankind aud the rights of cats, which
insist upon their immemOrial privilege
Of midnight Serenading, while tired,

right to nocturnal repOse. For
centuries the war between the cat fac
ton and the human faction has gone on.
Pussy, defiant OF all human rights, con-

kind, in blind rage, continues to denude

In vain efforts to obtain silence.
At length a deliverance Is at hand.

brine motive is, Of course, the relief Of
mankind; bat due respect will be paid

Elimination Of the domestic cat is TO be
humane and painless as possible.
The formula begins with "6rst catch
