The Frenchraan Allowing His Dislike Of
England to Annoy Americana,

The Frenchraan Allowing His Dislike Of
England TO Annoy Americans.
French hostility TO England has been
unusually violent for some months past
and the English in Paris complain that
they are made aware of it in ways that
offend them or even render their stay
there unpleasant. This is something in
which we are not concerned. For an
other reason, however, it is our duty to
give the Farisians a warning. Life in
Paris has been made disagreeahle to some
Americans Of late because the anti-Eng-
l1sh Frenchmen have failed to draw the
hne between Englishmen snd Ameri-
cans, and as Americans speak the Eng
llsh language have assumed that they
were English and have acted according
ly. This will not do.
We tell these shoulder Struggling and
mustache twisting Parisians that they
had better look out when they are in the
presence of Americans. Americans will
not tolerate their plague. They can't
treat young Brother Jonathan as if he
were old John Bull. They must be re-
spectful toward Americans in France if
they want to get the money of American
tourists. Americans are self asserting
people, not destitute of patriotic pride,
not so patient as Job, not at all arrogant
or i'll tempered, yet conscious of their
mviolable Americanism. They have
grown beyond dueling, but it is not safe
to act toward them as if they were Of
tlmld disposition. True, they speak the
English language, but they can't- Aelp
that, and we may say that they like it.
There were 1859 Americans living
permanently in Paris three months ago.
when the census of foreign residents was
taken, and hundreds of American tour
lists visit the city every week of the year.
These Americans spend lots of money in
Paris. 1t is possible that they spend
SO,OOO,OO0 francs there every year, and
this sum is but a small part of the ag-
gregate amount which Parisians draw
from Americans annually. Let the
shoulder shruggers think of this when
they see an American dressed in French |
clothes and shelling out his dollars for
their enrichment.
1he Americans like France well, and |
they give proof of their liking for her.
They appreciate the good qualities of the
French and give them full credit for all
their merits. 1t is to be regretted that
mere are some coxcombs among the
French, mostly in Paris.
The craziest thing that M. Crapaud
IAN GO is to confound Brother Jonathan
WITH John Bul.-New York Sun.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, March Slate
last night Sheriff Gilman received tel
egram from the superintendent of the
Chesapeake and Ohio road saying body
al armed strikers at Coalburg, 16 miles
from here, threatened to tear up the
tracks and burn bridgea. The sheriff at
once left for the scene with posse, ar
irving at Coalburg at l 80 a. m. The
new $4,000 bridge between Coalburg
and Acme had been fred and was total
ly destroyed. The body of masked
strikers who did the work had disap-
peared. The sheriff left his posse on
guard and returned here. Further
trouble is inevitable.
Excitement at Eagle and Powellton is
at fever heat. 1t is just learned that
che wires between here and Powellton
have been cut, and a crisis is feared.
A messenger has been sent to the scene
to ascertain the situation.
1t ig now known that the wires have
been cut at several points, go the gov
ernor cannot communicate with the
troops at Eagle and Powellton. The
railroad officials are cooperating with
the governor and carrying messengers
by rail as far IS Cabin creek, whence
they go on horseback, and will report to
the governor aH soon as possible.
Later advices from Cabin creek and
Eagle say everything is apparently
quiet. though the wires are cut. No
trouble has occurred 30 far as known.
The governor insists that coal operators
shall set their men at work while the
militia is on the ground, 80 aa to have
the matter settled at once.
CHARLESTON, W. Va, March Sat 3
o'clock today Governor McCorkle re-
ceived telegram from Colonel Hodges
OF the Second regiment, in command at
Eagle, that the sheriff was there with
warrants for the arrest of the men en-
gagged in the attack en- Wyant'a men
Tuesday, and asked authority to use the
military in securing them.
The governor replied that the sheriff
must try to make the arrests with the
aid of citizens, but II he tried to sum-
mon posse and failed, Hodges must
extend the aid OF the military. The
governor advised him to proceed with
the utmost caution, but directed him to
proceed with the utmost vigor, If neces-
ssry, to aid the sheriff.
A telegram received by the governor
at 10 80 O'Clock states that several riot
ers have been arrested without blood
shed. The dispatches did not state
whether the military were used in max
ing the arrests.

They We're Very Solemn Affairs, Accord.
ing To an Ancient Annalist,
Washington's state dinners must have
been exceedingly solemn afEairs if they
were all like the description Of the fol-
lowing, which is found in the ancient
diary Of Genator Maolay, one of the first
two representatives Of the state of Penn
sylvania in the United States senate,
Thursday, Aug. 81, 1769--A little
after O'Clock called upon Mr.. Bassett
Of Delaware state, and we went to the
presidents for dinner.
''The company were President and
Mrs. Washington, Vice President and
Mrs. Adams, Governor Mifiin and his
wife, Mr.. Jay and wife, Mr.. Langdon
and wife, Mr.. Dalton and lady (per-
haps his wife), Bassett, myself, Lee Lew
is and the presidents two secretaries.
"The president and his wife sat oppo-
site each other in the middle of the table;
the two secretaries, one at each end. 1t
was great dinner and the best of the
kind ever was at. Vhe room, however,
was disagreeably warm.
''First were soup, fish, roasted and
baked meats, CANNON, fowl, etc. This
was the dinner. The middle of the table
was garnished in the usual tasty way,
with small images, artificial flowers, etc.
The dessert was fruit, apple pies, pud-
ding, etc., then ice cream, jelly, ETC.,
then watermelons, musllmelons, apples,
peaches and nuts,
cit was the most solemn dinner l was
ever at. Not a health drank, scarce a
word said until the cloth was taken
away. Then the president, filling glass
of wine, with great formality drank the
health of every individual around the
table. Everybody initiated him, changed
glasses, and such buzz Of Health, sir,
Health, madame Thank you, sir, and
Thank you, madame had never heard
before.
''The ladies sat good while, and the
bottle passed about, but there was dead
silence almost. Mrs. Washington atlast
withdrew with the ladies. l expected
the men would now begin, bat the same
silence remained. The president told of
New England clergyman who had lost
his hat and wig in passing a river called
the Bronx, and he smiled, and everybody
else laughed.
"He now and then said a sentence or
two on some common subject, and what
he said was not amiss Mr.. Jay tried to
make laugh by mentioning the carica-
ture OF the Duchess of Devonshire as
sisting in carrying on Fox's election.
"The president kept fork in his hand
when the cloth was taken away, I
thought for the purpose of picking nuts.
He ate none, but played with the fork,
striking on the edge Of the table. We
did not sit long after the ladies retired.
The president rose and went up stairs
to drink coffee. The company followed.
I took my hat and went home. New

by placing q card in his window bearing

NEW oAL1EoRNIA RATES.
The FUNNIEST sheet of Iron.

A triumph of mechanical ingenuity,
unsurpassed in its line, is recorded at
the celebrated tin works, Swansea,
Wales. The iron from which the sheet
was rolled was worked in finery with
charcoal and the usual blast afterward
taken to the hammer to be formed into
a regular fat bottom, thence conveyed
to the baliing furnace, and when sufi
ciently heated taken up to the rolls,
heightened and cut by shears into prop
er lengths, piled up and transferred
to the balling furnace again. When
heated, it was passed through the rolls,
back again into the balhng furnacs
fnd when duly .,hgq1qls and made into
a thorough good bar Subsequently,
at the tin mills, it was rolled till it was
supposed to be thinner than 23 grains,
afterward passed through the cold rolls
to insure the necessary polish, sthe re-
suit being the thinnest sheet of iron
ever rolled-that is, the sheet was 10
by 65S inches, or 55 inches in surface,
of only 20 grains weight, which, being
brought to the standard of by 5%
inches, or A surface inches, is but 16
grains, or so per cent less than pre-
vicus attempts, at least 4,900 being re-
quired to make one inch in thickness.

By the Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, March 3.-The
Chronicle says: 1t appears now that
the Santa Fe would like to compromise
the rate war with the Southern Pacific.
President Reinhart Of the Santa Fe to-
day telegraphed Vice-Preaident Croker
Of the Southern Pacific asking him to
withdraw the circulars sent out by the
latter road, in which refusal to honor
Santa Fe tickets from San Diego and
refusal to recognize side trip
to Los Angeles, via Barstow, were the
principal features. Mr.. Reinhart said
he would be in California next month
for the purpose of settling troubles with
the Southern Pacific. Crocker replied
that the Santa Fe must first recognize
the right of the Southern Pacific to
make side trip to San Francisco. The
same privilege would be accorded to the
Santa Fe at Los Angeles.
WAITING FOR A DECISION.
CHICAGO, March 3.-There were no
developments today in the transcontin-
entail rate fight. Every body is waiting
for the decision of Chairman Caldwell
on the Atchison's demand for boy
colt. The Atchison today reiterated its
demand for speedy decision, declaring
that it would on no account
remain in the association after
Monday if ths decision was not
forthcoming by that time. Once out of
the fold it will never again come in
with the Union Pacific aa an outsider.
The officials of the Southern Pacific say
the report that stop-over privileges will
be allowed ON single trip tickets sold at
the present cut rate of 500 between the
Missouri river and California, is an
error. Single trip tickets at the cut
rate are good for continuous passage
only.

MIA points: San Francisco, Los Angeles,

If Mr.. Sovereign, Master Workman of
the Knights of Labor, had been a shrewd
man he would not have ordered the
members of that organization to quit
work at this time. The prestige of a
labor leader is ruined by failure. If
he orders a general strike and it fails
it is almost certain that his organization
will repudiate him at the first oppor-
tunity and choose somebody else in his
place. If the American Railroad Union
continues to exist after the strike it is
safe to predict that Debs will not be al
the head of it. After the men cool off
they will hold Debs responsible for their
losses OF wages and employment, and he
will have to go. Now Mr.. Sovereign
has put himself in place where he will
have to go, too. Failure of his strike
is altogether more certain than was the
failure of Debs's. Sovereign is under
taking to revive something that is virtu-
ally dead, and the inevitable result of
that is failure. There was a remote
chance that Debs might succeed, bat of
Sovereign's success there is no chance
whatever

The Dem ocratic papers of the country
are to be congratulated on the improve
ment in their attitude ard such
affairs as that at Chicago. 1t was only a
few years ago that good many of them
were defending, if not absolutely COM
mendlng, the attitude of the Homestead
strikers in surrounding the Carnegie
works and shooting down men who had
b cen brought there to protect them
against the assaults of men who set up
the claim that they had the right to de-
eide the conditions on which Mr.. Car
negie should run his business,s and
sought to prevent by violence
his running them on any
other conditions. The attitude of the
Carnegie strikers was precisely the same
as that of the Chicago strikels-not one
whit more defensible. We presume that
one reason why it was defended was
because it was believed that there were
votes in doing it. Doubtless there were,
and it is undoubtedly true that the atti-
tude of the Democratic press at that
time was effectual in making solid the
trades unions of the country for the
Democratic ticket 1T is to be hoped that
the change of heart the Democratic press
has now apparently experienced is genu-
inc and that there will be no:blacksliding
when there is a temptation to descend
again to demagogism for..the sake of
votes

anarchists of Chicago who have been
