TAX ON PARTISAN THEATERS.

The Paris theatrical mana gers are
agitating, not for the abolition OF the
'Droit des pauvres''-or tax on theat-
rical receipts for the benefit Of the
poor-but for some change i'm the sys-
TEN of collection. At present the tax,
which amounts to 10 per cent, is lev
led upon gross receipts, and is often
paid by managers who are making
no profits, or sometimes even sustain
ing a nightly loss. Altogether the i'm
post yields annually about 100000
francs, or 100000. One result of the
system is that there can be no mys-
terry as to the degree of success or
failure of any new play, as the official
returns reveal the exact condition OF
each theatrical treasury, thus prevent
ing the enormous amount of lying
which forms a regular and important
part of the press agents business here
and elsewhere.

WATER AND ELECTRICITY.
INDIANAPOLIS SUBMITTED TO
SOME INCONVENIENCE.
Easements Flooded and People
Drowned Out-Lightning Does
Business if Electric Cars Don't.

indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 5.-As the
result of the veritable deluge which
set in Tuesday night and continued
until o'clock yesterday morning, this
city was flooded and thousands of
dollars worth of property has been
destroyed, besides the inconvenience
of suspended street car transportation
business portion Of the city was soon
flooded because of the inability Of the
sewers and streets to carry the water
away. At 4 o'clock reports began
coming into the central police station
Of great dana ge in various portions of
the city. 1t was nearly 8 o'clock be-
fore a south side street car could be
moved. In the neighborhood of Pine
and Washington streets a lake of
water appeared, and no less than a
dozen families had to be rescued by
the police. The water in many of the
easements along Washington and
Pennsylvania streets was five and siy
feet deep. Many of these basemep--
were used as salesrOoms and the DAM
age is very great. At daylight the
lightning started a fire in the tele-
phone exchange building, corner of
Illinois and Ohio streets, and the Ell
tire system was burned out, resulting
in extensive loss. Several other fires
were started by the storm, but were
eXtinguished before material loss was
sutained. Up to Z o'clock yesterday
morning the rainfall had amounted
to 81 inches. At s o'clock the rain
had ceased.
The losses by the flood are estimated
at not less than 100000. This, how
ever, does not include the damages to
public works, which also will be
heavy.

Washington, Sept. THE United
announced at the state department,
has decided to enter forthwith upon
an independent investigation of the
Cheng Tu riots with the cooperation
of a Chinese commission. AS at first
arranged, the inquiry was to have
been made in co-opera ton with Eng
land, but there has been a change of
plan within the past few days, oc-
caSioned partly by the fact that the
British consul at Chung Kung, who
is to conduct the inyeStiga ton on be-
half of his government, and to whom,
with the concurrence of an American
missionary member, it was first pro
posed to entrust the preliminary in
veStiSatiOn of the facts, has been de-
tanned at his post and will not be able
to begin the inquiry for a month or
more.
There are also understood to be
other reasons why the state depart
ment of the government has decided
upon an independent investigation,
such as France has already made and
such as England will make later. 1t
is said at the state department that it
is not trde, that the policy of his gov
eminent has been changed by any
feeling of satisfaction or resent
ment, caused by whatever apparent
delay has Supervened on England's
part in proceeding with the inquiry
The department has other reasons
Which it is not yet prepared to make
public. China is expected to lend her
support to the American inquiry to the
extent Of supplying an escort to the
persons who will conduct it, but who
have not yet been designated, and will
probably furnish an official who will
cooperate with the American investi-
gator as in the Ku Cheng investigation.
The investigation is expected to be
made by some official now on the
Chinese coast. 1t will probably take
a month to reach Cheng Tu, which is
the capital of the interior province of
SEE Chuen and lies some 1000 miles
from the nearest ocean port.

NO REAL REACTION
TEMPORARY GAINS VANISHING
BUT AN INCREASE REMAINS.
r. G. DUN'S WEEKLY REPORT
The Failures Are Considerably Less
than Last Year at This Time
Wheat Has Recovered Its Phe-
nomenal Jump-The Corn Crop Ex-
pected to be Enormous.

New York, Sept. 7.-R. @. Dlm'S
in business. The gains which were
recognized as temporary are vanish
ing but there remains a decided in
crease over last year at this date, al
though prices average S.S per cent.
lower than a year ago. 1t needs no
keen observer to see that the reac-
ton against the rapid advance of
prices is strong. Hides were first to
rise, but decided break has come.
Coke suddenly raised to S1.40, but re-
Gently sold at S1.10. Wheat jumped
over 20 cents to 81, but is now slow
Of sale at about 81. Wool was late
in rising but lost ABOUT is of a cent
in the average price within the past
fortnight. Iron still rises, strikes hay
ing hindered shipments of ore, but
with the troops guarding, ore begins to
move. Cotton is strong, but has
paused. The general tendency to cur
tail purchase where prices have no.
tably advanced has grown clearer IN
boots and shoes, in wool and in some
products Of iron. Combinations have
again advanced prices in bar iron So
per ton, and wire nails 20 cents per
keg. In the boot and shoe industry
many shops are discharging hands
and in wooden manufa cturers few
works are closing for want of orders
The sales Of wool, which avera ged
over 100000 pounds per week when
great speculative stocks were being
taken, have shrunk to 5,3S0,0OO for the
week against 1857 900 for the same
week in 1894. The brightest feature
in all the horizon is the certainty that
the corn crop will be enormous.
FrOstS now can only affect a small
fraction and the surplus will go into
the manufacture of meal, because at
35.7 cents at New York nearly
cents lower than a week ago, there is
no other profitable use for corn. The
latest reports are that wheat threSh>
ing has induced the best western
judges to raise their estimate Of the
year over 100000 bushels and with
450,0OO,OO bushels added to 100000
600 bushels brought over the supply
will exceed all probable demands.
The failures in the United States the
past week were 1856 against 219 last

SPORTS TANGLED UP,
The Driver of Joe Patchen Fined by
the Judge.

Philadelphia, Sept. 6.-"Gil' Curry,
who drove Joe Patchen in Wednes-
days match race with Gentry, was
fined $500 by the judges for alleged
crooked work in the race. There is
considera BILE doubt as to whether the
fine can be collected. Curry claims
the contract with the Belmont driving
club simply called for a speed exhi-
bition of the horses and instead Of a
$4,000 purse, McHenry and Curry
were to be given certain percentag e
of the gate receipts and the amount
that they did receive, it is said, was
$3.50 each. Last night Curry and Nc
Henry, who drove Gentry, left for the
west.

PERLINER PATENT.
It's Validity to be Passed upon by the
United States Supreme Court.

Boston, Sept. 5.-The United States
has taken an appeal in the Bell Tele-
phone case involving the validity Of
the Berliner patent. In the United
States circuit court OF appeals Coun-
sci J. J. Storrow, for the appellant in
the case of the telephone company
against the United States, made mo-
ton for mandate disElissing the bill
brought by the United States, in ac-
cordance with the decision OF this
court on the appeal of the Bell COM
pany. The court ordered The mandate
to issue, whererpOp Counsel Bristow,
for the government, took an appeal
and tee appeal was allowed. The ap-
peal takes the case before the United
States supreme court, and has the eff
feet of supersedtng the mandate, leav-
ing the case in statu quo, tn be heard
anew by the court at Washington.

CHINATOWN IN A TURMOIL.
TROUBLE ORIGINATES IN THE
MURDER OF CHANG WAL.
May no Longer Work in
Harmony.

San Francisco, Cal, Sept. 7.-China-
town is in a turmoil and boycott is
being waged. The Chinese Six Com
controlled matters in the Chinese
quarter, no longer work in harmony
and will probably never again be
united. The quarrel has spread all
over the country among the Chinese
from here to New York.
The trouble originated in the murder
of Chang Wal, a member of the Sam
Yup company. Mok Tai, a Cay See
YUp man, was arrested for the muir
der, but his company believed him in
nOcent and asked the Sam Yups to
call off the prosecution. This they re-
fused to do, and the Chinese consul
sided with the Sam Yups. Then a
boycott was declared against the Sam
YupS by the See YupS. The Sam
YupS comprise the Wealthier classes
Of Chinese. who do Il big business as
butchers, while the See Yups are COM
posed of the laboTing classes, mainly
customers of the Sam Yups. The See
Yups have started rival shops and a
strict boycott is being waged against
the Sam Yups, greatly to their dis
comfiture and financial loss.
Three of the companies have sided
with the See Yups against the Sam
Yups, but the fifth, the Yeong WO
company, composed of the better class
Of merchants, hold aloof from
ha toLC
threa tened with war if they
do not come over into the camp of the
enemies of the hated Sam Yups. Jaw
Men Sang, president of the Yeong,
tried to be diplomatic and not become
involved in the quarrel, and as a re-
suit has lost his position and has been
succeeded by Bow zee, a recent ar
ing the situation and it is believed he
is awaiting the arrival Of Instructions
from the Chinese minister at Wash
ington.
The Chinese consul here, generally
man OF great influence among his
country1nen, is now treated with con-
tempt by all except the Sam Yups, and
he will probably lose his position if
the majority Of the Chinese count for
anything. No matter what decision
may be arrived at the Sam Yups are
ruined, for enmities have been engen-
dered that can never be removed eX-
cept by their financial ruin.
Washington, D. c., Sept. There is
an apparent aversion on tie part of
the Chinese minister and other mem
bers Of the Chinese legation to discuss
the trouble among the members Of the
Chinese Six Companies. 1t is adj
nnitted at the legation that the minis
ter is kept constantly informed of the
progress of the controversy, but no in.
TINA ton can be obtained as TO
whether the minister will take any
action favorable on either side. Here
tofore he has indicated shat the set
Element of the difficulty would be left
to the consul general at San Francisco,
and there has been no intimation Of
any purpose to go to the assistance of
that official.

MEN MAY WIN.
Two Rivers Strikers Likely to Gain
Their Demands.

Two Rivers, Wis, Sept. 6-The
strike situation now promises an early
adjustment A committee of strikers
met a representative of the Two
Rivers Manufacturing company at the
company's office at the pail factory
and the com pany submitted a propo-
sition ultimately giving the men a
cash pay day, but setting the date six
months hence for the final adoption of
the new system. After the conference
the committee reported the proposition
to the union at headquarters and the
proposition was rejected. The men
have demanded the cash pay day to
commence ON October 10, but are will
ing to make what they consider rea-
SOnable concessions. Another confer
ence is in progress and an adjustment
may be effected soon. The strike has
now been in progress one week and
victory for the men seems assured.

under the tramway when the car
