BERLIN, Jan. 1S.-In the reicbstag
today in the debate on the wine tax
bill, Count Posadowsky, secretary of
the treasury, described the aim of the
bill as tax on luxuries and said as the
tax was to be levied on foreign wines,
which, owing to its cheapness seriously
competed with native wines, the bill
would be protective measure to a
home industry. Taxes on sparkling
and artificial wines alone would yield
but little an the whole tax would not
affect half the wine producers of Ger
many. all the speakers who followed
opposed the bill. The Fressinige
party and the socialists, as well as the
centre party, demanded the immediate
rejection of the proposed measure.
The national liberals and conservatives
de Jared that it was not acceptable in
its present form.
DR.. MIGUEL submitted the budget of
1894 to the Diet. The estimated re-
csipts are 1878, 449, 391 marks, an in
crease OF 43 1856, I3l over those of 1898.
Expenditures are estimated at 1,949,-
669, 391 marks, showing deficiency of
| 70 ,209 900 marks, which will be covered
by loan, The excess of the expendi-
lures is mainly due to increased demands
by the empire upon the federated
states, the Prussian share being 81 ,05S-.
9l5 marks higher than in 1898.

EDISON AND THE GEAh.
How the Great Inventor Received an I'm
expected Visit.

How the Great Inventor Received an I'm
expected Visit.
Thomas A. Edison's father, on one
of his visits to Menlo park, brought
with him surprise to his son, tame
bear that he. had captured with his
own hands, says the New York World.
1t was very late when he arrived,
and, finding that his son was on one of
his usual midnight experimental
''sprees, he determined not to bother
him, and went to bed after first care
fully locking the cub in the cellar.
The experiments on which the ''wiz-
ard" was at work were the final ones
in the invention of the monograph.
Mr.. Edison was kneeling on the floor
listening to the reproduction of an old
song, and his assistants were punched
behind him, with every nerve strained
to catch the far-off, curious sounds
So intent were they that the shambling
of heavy footsteps up the stairs and
the opening of the laboratory door
were unnoticed, and it was only when
heavy ''woof'' drowned the imitation
song that the little group became
aware that stranger was among
them.
The next instant the laboratory
shelves bore, instead of bottles, half a
dozen of the worst-scared scientists in
history.
Seeing the lack of disposition to
show him the inequalities of the
place, the bear started on tour of in
spection of his own He used his
paws as the farmer from ''Wayback''
uses his umbrella in art galleries, and
soon had the well-arranged workshop
in compound disorder The shelved
scientists were wishing every minute
that he would seize high-voltage cir
cult which would give him a tenn
porary trance. But he was too wise for
that, and it began to look as if the
greatest problem Edison would have
to solve that night was how to escape
the clutches of a bear.
The beast was having a veritable
picnic in the electrical sanctum when
Mr.. Edison, ST., stalked into the room.
Explanations were soon made, the
bear was led downstairs and the cleo
tricians descended from their perches.

After the Recorder.

When Major Schwartz awoke yester-
day morning he sent his little girl to
the place where his morning supply of
bread and milk was usually left. The
little girl returned and informed her
father that the only thing she could
find was the paper in which the bread
was wrapped-the milk can, bread and
all had vanished. The Recorder gave
two tramps five minutes to get out OF
town Immediately after arriving at his
office, saying he would be more lenient
if he had not been doing business on an
empty stomach.

Talk OF Another Uprising ON the Ha.

/. SAN Francisco, August 25.-The
United States cruiser Philadelphia ar
rived this afternoon from Honolulu,
bringing the following advices dated
August 10: Several days ago 1t was an
nounced that the cruiser Philadelphia
was to leave here, and about the same
time the Captain Of the British ship
Champion stated that his vessel was
about to leave on q two weeks cruise,
ostensibly to look over the route OF the
proposed Pacific cable. On the day fol-
lowing these announcement o petition
was circulated by British residents ask
ing that the Champion remain. The
petitioners professed TO be in fear ol
trouble II left without armed protection.
The Champions commander then agreed
TO remain in port, whereupon Admiral
Walker announced that he hal changed
his mind about sailing with the Phiia-
dephia, and that he, too, should remain
In port. This unexpected change in the
plans OF the naval commanders caused
unusual comment. The royalists pre-
fessed 10 believe that, had the Phila-
delphia left, there would have been an
uprising against the government. Men
high in the government counsels, how
ever, declared they were anxious for the
Philadelphia to leave, as it woGld give
them an opportunity to show the royal
lists that the government needed no out
side protection. The wishes Of these
confident supporters OF the government
were fulfilled yesterday when the mail
from San Francisco brought positive
orders to Admiral Walker for the Phila-
delphia to proceed TO Mare Island at
once! 4l s

CHINESE VICTORY.


LONDON, August 23.--The Times has
received the following dispatch from
Shanghai, dated August 21: General
TIC, commanding the Feng Tien division
OF the Chinese forces, telegraphs as fol-
lows: The Chinese Friday attacked the
Japanese forces at Ping Yang, driving
them back with a heavy loss distance
of eleven miles to Chung Ho. The Chi
nese made second attack Saturday, and
drove the Japanese from Chung Ho,
which is now in Chinese hands. The
Japanese again lost heavily in Saturdays
fighting. Another great battle is ex-
pected to-day.
Admiral Freemantle, the British COM
mander, has established the headquar-
ters of his feet at Chez Foo, where the
British, Russian and American Minis
ters now are. The Chinese feet is en-
joying full possession OF the Gulf Pei
Chi Lei. The Japanese are embarking
troops at Fusan. Nothing is known re-
garding their destination.
The Chinese force which occupied va
shan has evacuated that place and
marched eastward in the direction OF
Seoul. The force, which is under Gem
eral Yeh, has been augmented by the
adhesion OF numbers OF sympathizing
Coreans. The Chinese forces are con-
verging on Ping Yang. The English line
at the latter point remains in possession
of the Chinese. Nine thousand Japan
ese troops have left Seoul and marched
in the direction OF Ping Yang. Two
German fathers OF the Catholic mission
at 81 Ming Cou in the southern part of
the province of Shan Tung have been
captured by banditti and held for ram
som. A government posse is in pursuit
of the robbers.

ries received at the hands OF Chinese

The Dude and the Tramp Product of
Our Civilization.
BALTIMORE, August 25.-Grand Master
Workman Sovereign addressed q large
meeting of workingmen last night, in
the course of which he said:
SIN America to-day there are 8, 600, 900
men willing TO work who are idle for
want of work to do, molding themselves
or rather being nodded into felons and
beggars. Charity has been strained as
il was never strained before, but still the
cry for bread from starving throats is
heard all over the land. These men are
being turned into tramps. The tramp
has been described as q cross between
poverty and crime, but think the dude
product of our civilization, can justly
be described as cross between nobody
and nothing. Both are the results, the
outcome of monopoly-the monopoly
that, unless it is throttled, will cause the

NEW TARIFF BILE.
Only Three Errors That Need to Give
Amy Concern.

Only Three Errors That Need to Give
Amy Concern.
WASHINGTON, August 25.-The legisla-
tive and engrossing clerks OF the Senate
have been comparing the statement OF
errors in the tariff bill in various papers
to-day, and say there are only three
errors that need to give officers OF the
treasury any concern. These are the
paragraphs relating to free admission OF
alcohol in the arts, the diamond sched-
ule and perhaps the omission OF period
in the paragraph relating to stamping
foreign manufactures.
In the case OF diamonds they believe
the construction placed will be that in-
tended by Congress, and they will pay
the duty imposed on precious stones.
As to the other errors enumerated it is
claimed that by no system of construc-
ton can the alleged mistakes be made
to either impose higher duties or allow
the free admission of the articles named.
Members OF the Finance Committee are
of the same opinion.
