ment of $17.500 to Dreyfus, Frsrea &;
Co. of London, Liverpool and Paris. by
Starr & Co. Of this city, suit for $55, 600,
begun against the latter firm in 1892 for
alleged breach Of contract in the ship
ment of a cargo Of grain that, when
measured, was found to be short, is
settled. The cargo had been
sold by the Dreyfus company to
Cornelius & Co. OF Liverpool. who lost
heavily by the deal through the de-
fciency of the cargo, but after some
litigation they were reimbursed by
Dreyfus. Fieres q Co., who in turn ex-
pected the Starr company would settle
with them, but the Starr company was
little backward, hence the suit. All
the necessary papers were signed and
the agent OF the English house left las t

ANARCHIST REVENGE
A TERRIFIC BOMB EXPLOSION IN

ings, but No Lives Lost-An.
Archists Supposed to
Have Done It.

|. LONDON, Nov. A bomb exploded
tonight outside house in Tilney street,
Park lane, two doors from the residence
of Hon. Sir Henry Hawkins, one of the
justices of the queens bench division of
her majesty's high court of justice. The
front of the house was much damaged
and the windows OF houses on the op.
posite side of the street were smashed.
Tho house was occupied. but nobody
WAS hurt. The force OF the explosion
must have been great as the door of the
house was blown in and the stone steps
shattered. A search revealed the re-
mains of the bomb. Suspicion rests on
q man who alighted in the vicinity Of
the hou 90 from a cab which had oon-
vsyed him from the Savoy hotel. He
has not yet been arrested.
Justice Hawkins ia the Judge who
sentenced Frederick Charles, Victor
Gailes. Joseph Thomas Duncan and
Joan Batolla. the anarchists, to various
terms of imprisonment. He Rleo pre-
sided at the trials of other anarchists
ana imposed sentences of various de-
grees upon them. 1t is thought in some
quarters that the explosion Was an at
tempt to secure revenge against the
Judge, but that the author OF it made
mistake in tho house.
Another account Gays the house Is the
residence OF Hon. Reginald Brett, son of
the late Lord Esher. Lord Brett was at
his club, and Mrs. Brett was in the hall
OF her residence when the bomb ex-
plodsd. She was, however, not hurt.
The bomb ploughsd up cavity Of IS
inches below the threshold Of the front
door, which was blown to pieces. The
top step, a slab Of concrete 40 by 26
inches, was blown across the street. The
ratings were twisted. The sound Of the
explosion was heard for two miles.

THE COUNTY CLERKS OFFICE.

In spite of frequent assurance that the
County Clerks Office could not be run on
the revenues derived from it County Clerk
Haley has run it year on less than its
revenues. He has turned S2213 63 into the
treasury. In place Of drawing $4,000 or
more from the treasury, as has been the
average draw of his predecessors, Mr.
Haley turns more than $4,000 in. This
shows that some things can be done as
well as others. For years past portion
of the press of this city has been in the
habit of charging all shortcomings to the
dollar limit. If fund ran short before
the year was out the taxpayers were be-
rated for not having made the fund larger.
1t never seemed to occur to these journals
that an official could get along with less
money than he could spend. The last
County Clerk justified a violation of his
pledge on the ground that he could not
help it. The business Of his Office, he as
serted, could not be conducted on the
amount allowed it. But we now see that
he, was wrong. Mr.. Haley has done the
city a service. not only by saving neat
sum of money. but by affording an exam
ple of what may be done.

oBsTRUCTING THE MAILS.

=: Tie proceedings reported against GER
tain railroad officials IL Los Angeles indi-
cate that the courts have discovered that
there is more than one way to obstruet a
mail train. It may have occurred TO the
courts that a company which has con-
traeted to carry the mail and disables it
self from fulfilling the contract by con-
Meeting it with other service that it is
unable to perform, is open to the charge
of obsEructing the carrying OF the mails.
In view of the immense interest involved
in the mail service. it is fair to presume
that the Government did not intend that
It's regular transportation should be made
matter Of convenience. The mail service
should be, and probably il. put upon the
most urgent footing. 1t should be done if
nothing else can be done in the way of or
binary traffic. When a mail carrier voun-
tarlly subjects the performance Of his
contract to his ability to do some other
work. he may be held responsible to the
same extent as if he had put his 0bstruc-
tfon in more positive fern.

THE REAL ISSUE.

A number of the merchants of Sacra-
mento met Tuesday and passed resolutions
sustaining the policy of the Southern Pa
cifc road in its contest with the Railway
Union. The resolutions would have
carried more weight if the cause of the
quarrel had been stated. Readers of the
resolution are left in doubt as to what the
trouble is about. If the resolution had
stated that it was all about the running of
Pullman cars and that the general service
might be resumed when the Pullman car
service was dropped pending a settlement
between the Pullman Car Company and
its employees. the case would have been
much simplifed. But as the resolutions
are printed in Sacramento papers the Rail-
way Union is represented as having made
b general strike against the Southern
Pacific. The fact cannot be too often
stated that the Southern Pacific can re-
sumo its service as a common carrier
whenever it ceases to be party to the
quarrel between the Pullman Car Com
paDy and its employees.

WHAT THE COUNTRY DEMANDS.

In his Fourth of July letter of regret to
Tammany Hall Senator Hill enumerated
several things which the country de-
mands One of these is an exhibition OF
true statesmanship on the part of those
administering the Government. The de-
mand in this case evidently exceeds the
supply. If craftsmanship were pur-
chasable commodity it would be held at a
premium. The present administration
idea of craftsmanship is to form closer
alliance with the money power The ad-
ministration has drifted into the service OF
corporations, and is invoking the patriot
ism of the people to array themselves
against their own interests.
Coming down to particulars. Mr.. Hill
said:
1t (the country demands the adoption of a
definite financial policy to prevent the Govern
meDt from drifting toward the rocks OF hnan-
cial chaos. and finally demands foreign
policy which extends American sympathles
to free republics rather than to monarchies.
The financial chaos which the country
seems to be drifting toward is mono
metallism. The industrial chaos of which
we are having so many exhibitions here
and in the East is caused by the increase
in the value of money and decrease in the
rate of wages. Workingmen in all parts
Of the Union are making a stand against
the drift in this direction. While
the proposed reduction in the tar
if rates are, in a measure. respon-
sible for the lowering OF wages, the
steadily increasing value Of money in its
relation to commodities is working to the
same end. For some years American
craftsmanship has been looking in the
wrong direction. It has been absorbed in
watching the policy Of Europe. The re-
publics of America which might have been
made consumers OF our manufactured
products have been neglected. We have
not thought these American republics
worth eultivating. a diversion in this
direction was made by the last admins
tration. but the present administration
has asked pardon of Europe for the lack
of allegiance shown by its predecessor.
The definite financial policy Mr.. Hill calls
for can only be based upon a monetary
and commercial alliance with American
REPUBLICS. These republics as we'll as our
selves are being deYoured by the increas-
ing demands upon their resources TO pay
the interest on their foreign debts, Some
of them are between the devil and the
deep sea. If they pay interest in gold
they are ruined; if they refuse to pay in
terest in gold they expose their couD tries
to the peril of being sold at auction. The
Government of the United States has no
intention of refusing to pay foreign debts
in gold, but the holders of American seeur-
tiles are in constant dread of some legisla-
tion which will induce our European cred
iGors to throw our stocks upon the mar
ket. 1t is this fear which paralyzes Amer
lean craftsmanship. The statesmanship
which we sometimes speak Of as Ameri-
can is simply European.
