Adjusting Electric Railroad and
Rights in France.

Adjusting Electric Railroad and
Telephone Rights in France,
In England the telephone interests
are intensely disliked, because of the
high-handed disposition which they
have shown in the installing of their
service. Rates are high, service is in
many cases atrocious, and the tele-
phone authorities are any thing but
disposed to propitiate the public. In
comparing the telephone service of
england and France, an expert says
the only drop of consolation he sees
in the cup of the Britisher is that in
England the onus of doubling the tele-
phone circuits so as to avoid Undue
tive effects from the working of the
electric railroads is thrown upon the
telephone company. The French
authorities. on the other hand. carry
out his change themselves, but they
have a particularly astute way of do
ing it. The State, after having been
duly applied to for a telephone fran
chise, demands from the local electric
railway companies substantial dam
ages for the extra cost involved,
equal, perhaps, to one-third or one
half of the total amount. While this
little fee is unpaid the telephone peo-
pie will protest in vain against the
rctarding of their operations; as soon
as it is safe in the State ]eXcheQuer
the circuits can be laid.

The German Field for American
Apples.

The United States consul at Chem
nitz says that American apple
have waiting for them a field for the
marketing of their fruit, the possibili-
ties of which they can form no idea.
The German physicians have in~tilled
into the minds of their patients the
maxim that apples are about the most
healthful article of diet they can par
take of, especially in hot weather. and
the people, well convinced of the fact,
buy the fruit eagerly. But their best
apples are by no means as good as the
worst of the American product, and
there is no reason whatever why the
growers here should not send over
millions of dollars worth of fruit
where they now send only thousands.
For instance, there are no German aD-
pies to compare with our Rhode Island
greetings, the Baldwin. russell and
northern spy, and after a little expert
mcntati0n many other good varieties
would doubtless be found we'll suited
to bear transportation. Boston. Balti-
more, New York, Philadelphia. and, in
fact, all the Atlantic cities whence fast
freight steamers cross to England and
the continent, might develop a great
1rult frame. An average price for
Raldwins in Germany is Sill for a
barrel of two and Il half bushels. and
they are frequently bought with readi-
ness at much higher rates. 1t is be-
lieved that farmers in the coast coun-
try from Maine to Florida might make
huge profits out of their orchards. 1t
is ever possible that Eastern peaches
and Florida oranges might compete
successfully with the wrptched apollo
giles for peaches and oranges offered
at enormous prices in the German mar
ketS. The most important considera-
tiOn is the cost of ocean transportation.
If that can be brought down to a liv-
ing basis, American exporters can
practically enter in and possess the
German fruit market.

AFRICAN RAILROAD.
BILL FOR SAME PASSES SECOND
READING IN COMMONS.
The Road Runs to Lake Victoria Nyanza
and Trains Will be Laid Up at Night
at Strongly Enclosed Stations.

LONDON, July 2S.-The Uganda
railroad bill passed its second
reading in the house OF Commons
today by a vote OF 239 to Sc, after
Mr.. Curzon had urged that if Great
Britain did not make railroad to
the Victoria Nyanza, Germany
would do so.
The trades Cancellation bill has
passed its third reading. The
Uganda railway the bill for which
has passed, its second reading in
the house Of commons, is already
under construction. The pro-
posed route is from MOmbazaba on
the Zanzibar coast of east Africa,
northwesterly, passing to the
north of Kilima Marc through
the country of the Wakamba to a
point near Kikuu, passing Lake
Naivasha, coming out on Victoria
Nyanza in Kaivarndo at Berkeley
bay on the northeast shore OF the
lake. The route is described as be-
ing for most Of the distance over
a gentle rising and then falling
and in places slightly undulating
country, presenting few engineer
ing difficulties with the exception
of several sharp rises. There are
also the Eldora ravins, which have
very steep banks 200 feet high and
are 800 feet in width, which will
require the construction of an iron
bridge. 1t is intended a train
shall take eight days the entire
journey. 1t is said 1t will only
run during the day time and
strong permanent stations will be
erected ut the places where the
train stops for the night.

CHECKING GOLD EXPORT.
CLEARING HOUSE FOR EXCHANGE
AT LOW RATES.
Plan Adopted by Foreign Bankers and
American Banks to Tide Over the Elec-
ton Disturbance in Money Market.

New York, July 2S.-Referring to
the plan to check gold export devised
by the committee of foreign bankers
and unanimously agreed to by the
members of that committee, the Her
aid this morning says: The attitude
of the bankers towards their custo-
mers, it is said, will be simply to as
sure them that there will be an abun-
dant supply of bills in the market at
low rates. Through discounting taeir
own paper and establishing credits
abroad to draw against, the interna-
tional houses will be able to keep the
exchange rates at a figure that will
make gold expectation an expensive
transaction. Although officials of the
banks who deposited with the sub
treasury to restore the reserve dis
claim any connection with the foreign
bankers, it is generally admitted that
the success of the one was made de-
pendent upon the action of the others.
Many of the bank presidents would not
have parted with their gold had they
not been assured that the foreign hou-
ses would arrange some plan whereby
the metal might be retained in the
country. They saw no use of paying
into the treasury if it was to be as
promptly withdrawn. and in conse-
quence the foreign bankers action was
a necessity. There has been consid-
cradle discussion as to the amount of
exchange that will be necessary to tide
over the interval of depression result
ing from the election. 1t may be $12-
100000 and it may, and will probably,
be more.
While the period that is considered
necessary to make provision for is
set down at sixty days, 1t is under
stood that If the supply of cotton and
grain bills in the market be not suffi-
cient to adjust affairs within that time
then the pool will continue in operation
for a longer period. The intention is
to offset any sudden panic which may
follow the blathering of demagogues
during the campaign. The workings
of the syndicate will, of course, entail
inconvenience upon individual men,
bers and probably to some a loss OF
profit. The latter it is said will be
borne pro rata among the members.
or, as it will be called, the clearing
house for exchange, are j. p. Morgan
& Co.; August Belmont & Co.; l.. Won
Hoffman & Co.; Kuehn, Loeb & Co.;
and Lazard Freres. The Brooklyn
banks will fall into line today, in the
effort to maintain the reserve inau-
gurated by New York and Joined in
by Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago.
The movement therefore seems to be
infectious and no doubt now remains
as to it's success and the wisdom Of
the movement.

THE CoMMODORE WATCHED

Charleston, S. c., July 2S.-There
were no startling developments in the
filibustering Commodore's case, as
yet. At an early hour Saturday NOR
ming she left her dock and started a
cross the harbor. The cutter Col
fax promptly followed her down to
quarantine and there both remained
until this morning, when both retur-
ned to their former positions Dur
ing the day the cutter has had an Of
ficer aboard the Commodore three
times, but for what purpose it is i'm
possible to learn, as United States Of
ficials cannot be approached and Cap
tain Morton, of the Commodore re-
mains silent when spoken to. There
are nearly score of Cubans from
New York in the city, who are in con-
;stant communication with the agent
of the Commodore, and it is thought
they are going on her, and it is this
the Colfax proposes to prevent.

LEGALLY MARRIED AS A JOKE

Warrensburg, Mo-, July 2S.-While
talking with a party of friends last
Wednesday, Blair Howard proposed,
ms n joke, to Miss Lille McLain that
they get married She consented, but
each supposed the other was testing.
A friend was dispatched for license,
which was drawn up in due form.
The wedding was announced in the
papers to take place at the residence
of Rev. G.. b. Curry, pastor of the
Secret Heart church. that night. AT
the appointed time the couple went to
the residence but Father Curry had
several visitors and they did not re-
main. Thursday morning they went
back and the ceremony was performed
amid a great deal of chatting, the con-
tracing parties still believing it to be
a joke.
The bride and bridegroom went
about their ordinary duties and were
no more to each other than friends.
Last night Mr.. Howard desired to call
upon friend and announced his in
tention at the Commercial Hotel,
where he was boarding. Father Cur
ry, who was at the table, accidentally
heard it and informed the young man
that he was legally married. He
went to the home Of the bride and the
two are now living together.

Craze Hurts the Masses.
Brazil, Ind, July 2S.-W. HI. Cut
shall, treasurer of this county, has
been endeayoring for the past month
to dispose of $91, 800 worth of county
bonds, issued for the construction of
three gravel roads in this county. The
bonds are made payable in the lawful
money of the United States, and this
is where the hitch comes in. Mr.. Cut
shall received letter this afternoon
from w. j. Hayes & Son, bankers of
Cleveland, O.,notifying him that they
would not consider the purchasing
unless they were made payable in
gold. Warren Leach & Co., bankers
of Chicago, notified the treasurer that
they could not purchase the bonds I'M
til the financial skies clear up. Mr..
Cutshall has received numerous let
tiers from bankers and brokers SINH
lar to those mentioned above. AS q
consequence of the treasurer's inability
to dispose of the bonds, 500 laborers,
who would be given employment on
the roads, are idle.

STORMS FURY.
SWEPT THE ALLEGHENY VALLEY
IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Many Lives Lost and Large Number In
iured - Tremendous Loss of
Property by Flood.

PITTsB URG, July 2S.-The full
extent Of the damage wrought by
last nights hurricane was not
known until daylight, when wreck
and ruin were apparent on all
sides. Steeples were blown from
churches and adjoining buildings
crushed and houses unroofed, trees
broken off or torn up by the roots,
while the havoc caused by the
heavy rain of last week was repeat
ed.
Summed up at noon, with many
outlying districts to hear from, the
result was seventeen lives lost,
thirty-six injured, many, it is
feared, fatally, and property dam
aged to the extent of 100000. The
list of killed and injured 80 far as
reported is as follows:
Dead = Jacob Affelter, John
Cause and fifteen miners drowned
at Cecil.
Injured = Abner Hayes, Aug.
Zendeith, with family OF six,
shocked by lightning, all in crit
ical condition; A. M. Bennett and
two children, condition critical !;
George Miller, fatally injured !;
Thomas O'Connell, JAG Metz,
Charles Kosoik, Frank OFT, Harry
Haddel and Henderson Richie
will not recover. Sidney Gebhart,
VIM. Parenitt, James Brady, Police
Officer w. P. Smith, badly hurt.
Motormau Shaw and six girls in
Armstrong; cork factory, cut by
flying glass.
"Uncle Bob" q we'll known negro,
was shocked by lightning; E. Nc
Govern, and an unknown boy and
Mrs. Thompson.
The approach Of the storm WAS
heralded by black clouds that
turned daylight into darkness.
There was q constant roll of
terrific thunder and incessant
flashes of vivid lightning, and
the wind rose to q gale as the rain
began to fall and then the hurri-
cane came on with a roar, driving
the rain In solid sheets before 1t.
In an instant the streets of many
parts of the city were filed with
flying branches, tin roofs were
lifted from houses and sent
whirling over chimney tops,
knocking them down like ten
pins: signs and fences and
trees fell, crushing out the lives of
two men and injuring others. The
thunder and lightning kept up a
terrifying display while the rain
continued to pour down for an
hour. The storm crossed Silver
lake and the dam, unable to stand
the strain of the flood behind it,
gave way, turning Finley's Hol-
low into q raging torrent and
swelling Negley's Run into river
until it emptied into the Allie
gheny near Brilliant pump station.
Braddock Hall added to the
damage and when the hurricane
reached Turtle creek it assumed
the character OF a cyclone, doing
untold damage.
In the oil fields derricks were
blown down. The Sewickiey,
Corsyolis, Bellevue and McKees'
rocks suffered severely. In Mill
vale and Sharpsburg hail caused
great havoc.
During last nights storm a
boarding house near Cecil, WASH
ington county, was washed away
and the occupants drowned. The
men were all foreigners and the
names could not be learned. Six
teen men in the house were Sleep
ing and 80 far known but one es-
capped. Five bodies have been re-
covered.

BRYAN ADVISES MODERATION.

Lincoln, Neb., July 2S.-The stream
of visitors to the Bryan home is on the
increase. Two of the delegates from
Nevada to the silver convention at st.
Louis, Messrs. Nixon and Davis, en-
route home, stopped off here to consult
with Mr.. Bryan, doubtless upon his
probable course in relation to the Pop
ulist nomination.
Mr.. Bryan has received a number of
kilograms containing suggestions in re-
gard to the action of the Populist con-
vention and to all of them he replied
in effect that he would act in deliber-
alton and that nothing will be done
that can be justly criticised by any of
the elements who are sincerely inter-
ested in the cause of bimetallism In
his replies to these expressions he
earnestly advises all friends of the
cause in all parties to refrain from
harsh criticism of those, who however
widely they may differ otherwise, oc-
cupy common ground in desiring the
commercial restoration of free coinage
of silver.

vote last night the city council decided
to place under the management of the

the portion west Of the Illinois Central
tracks and north of Jackson street.
This is the portion now occupied by

Jackson street was also reserved for
the use Of the state militia.
WISCONSIN SILVERITES EXPLAIN
Milwaukee, Wis, July 2S.-The Wis
consin silver delegates to the Demo-
cratic national convention have given
out their address to the public, reply
ing to the letter issued by the gold del
egates headed by Senator Villas and
Gen. Bragg. 1t is devoted mainly to
answering the charges promulgated by
the gold men, but goes to some extent
into the merits of the silver question.
The point is made that the silver DEL
egates obeyed their instructions, until
the chairman of the Wisconsin dele
cation refused to allow the vote of the
state to be cast for any presidential
candidate and that they then obtained
permission from the presiding officer
of the convention to cast their votes.
In conclusion the Democrats of the
state are urged to get together to see
to 1t that silver men are sent to the
silver state convention.
