LONDON, Oct. 2S.-Long cable messages
have been sent to United States Attorney
General McKenna in the matter of the
Union Pacific Railway sale on behalf of
the Coates syndicate, making offers that
meet the objections raised. The syndicate
claims that it's bid would produce 500 900, 600
more to the government than any other bid,
and urges that the sale be adjourned until
Dec. 15 to enable Congress to determine
as to the advisability of the acceptance of
bonds in part payment. Coates, Son & Co.
contend that by the sale of the road and
its branch separately, the United States
government will be the loser, while they
Coates Son & Coz propose to pay the gov
eminent in full for both roads
The final cable message sent yesterday
asserts that the latest Schim bid is very
little better than the previous bids, anu
that, once Mr. Schiff has secured the Union
Pacific, he will have the Kansas division at
his mercy, and be able to get it at his own
price The dispatch concludes as follows:
IF the government secures a postpone
ment of both sales to Dec. Is the Coates
syndicate will furnish guarantees to pay in
full for the government claims on both
reads. Congress can then determine
whether both roads should not be sold con-
currently. BY our bids we have already
earned $780, 600 for the government, and
are, therefore, entitled to a fair opportu-
nifty, to more than four weeks notice of
sale of these great railroads, to secure the
property on the basis of getting some mil
lions more for the government"

A PRoHIBlToRY TARIFF.

The French are Considering Whether to
Place One on Certain American Prod
ucts.
New York, Nov 3O.-The authorities
in Washington, according to the corre-
spondent of the Herald, have been in
formed that France, while ostensibly
engaged in negotiations with this gov
ernment for a reciprocity treaty, is
taking steps to place prohibitory
tariff upon some American products.
The state department has been noti-
fed that bill is pending in the legis-
lative assembly of France imposing
high duty upon certain products which
will practically make that country
closed market, so far as the United
States is concerned. Ambassador Por-
ter will be directed to make an earnest
protest against the measure.
This bill may cause the authorities
here to go slow in negotiations for the
reciprocity agreement. The depart
ment has received no reply to it's prop
osition that in exchange for lower
tariff on French wines the French gov
ernment shall remove the prohibition
against the importation of American
cattle.
Unless this concession be granted
and the bill referred to shall be de-
feated, the reciprocity negotiations
may come to naught.

A Gale of Cyclonic Violence Sweeps the
Coast of Great Britain, Entailing Great
Loss of Life and Property.
London, Nov. S0.-The latest reports
from various points along the coast
show that the gale which swept En-
glish waters Sunday night and Mon
day was one of the worst storms of
recent years. In many places it was
almost cyclonic in its violence and the
long list Of disasters includes large
loss of life, many wrecks of large
vessels and the loss of scores ii not
hundreds of smaller crafts, with seri-
GUS damage to property ashore at many
towns.
In the north the wind was accom-
panied by binding snow and hail that
hid the lights and increased the diff
culties of navigation. Many ships
foundered, in most cases with all on
board. Scarcely town on the coast
escaped without more or less injury,

THOUSANDS PERIsHED.

Awful Results Follow the Sweep of Ty-
phoon Over the Philippine Islands and
Samoa.
San Fran ncisco, Nov. 9.-The typhoon
which swept over the Philippine ISL
ands on October 9 was the cause Of
one of the worst disasters that has
been reported from the southern ocean
in many years. Thousands of lives
were lost, including many Europeans,
and the damage to property was ap-
palling.
The difficulty of getting news from
the islands is great at any time, and
owing to the remoteness of some of
the provinces visited by the hurricane
full details of the storm did not reach
Hong Kong until November !. The
steamer Gaelic arrived Saturday from
the Orient and brought accounts of
the ravages of the tidal wave and
the winds. Several towns were swept
and blown away. Fully 400 Europeans
were drowned and it is estimated that
5000 natives perished
The sea at Samoa swept inland nearly
mile, destroying property valued at
several million dollars and causing
wholesale death among the natives.

WIN Branch Out.

Fiudlay, Nov. 30..-John Jacob Astor
and other directors of the Findlay,
Ft. Wayne & Western Railway Co. held
a meeting here yesterday. The object
was to plan for the extension of this
line eastward and westward. When
this is accomplished the road will be-
come a great trunk railroad, over
whose tracks will pass a large portion
OF the products Of the great west on
their way to the seaboard.
1t is believed that the road will be-
come the the eastern outlet for the
Illinois Central railroad. A survey
has been made of a line from Fort
Wayne to Kankakee, ILL.,, where the
road makes connection with the llli-
nois Central.
From Findlay eastward a survey has
been made to Lester Junction, O.,
where connections will be made for
Cleveland over the Cleveland, Lorain
q Wheeling, and also for eastern
trunk lines. From one terminus to the
other the line will be almost straight
and the grade will be confined to Is
feet to the mile. Work has been COM
menced on the survey for line from
Lester Junction to New Castle, Pa.

!, AUTONOMY u N 7 FOR CUBA. l..

. y p ~ +. I..IN
Senior De LONE. the spanish Minister, Ex'
plains Some Features of the New Plan
for Governing the Island. " .
Washington, Nov SO.-Dupuy De
LONE, the Spanish minister. has re-
ceived dispatches from Madrid, show
ing in detail the plan of the autonomy
which Spain is about to apply to Cuba.
Speaking of the new law the minister
said yesterday: 1T is measure which
will stand the closest scrutiny and !
am very desirous that the American
people should look into 1t with care.
studying it and comparing it with 9TH
er methods of governing colonies. Such
study will fully vindicate the law and
commend it to the people of this coun-
try.
''The old plan of autonomy gave to
Cuba an advisory board. 1t did not
have final authority in making laws,
but merely advised as to those laws.
The new law proposes to give to Cuba
parliamentary body of full law-mak-
ing power. The completeness of this
legislative power is as great If not
greater than that enjoyed by Canada
or any state of the United States.
This is readily demonstrated by COM
pairing the plan of the new law with
that of the British North American
act of 1867, which establishes the pres
ent parliamentary system of Canada.
''The Canadian parliament consists
of two bodies The upper house is
made up of members appointed by the
crown, each member holding a life
tenure, with qualification that no
member is eligible unless he has an
income of $4,000. The provision for
the new Cuban upper house is far less
stringent. Instead of the crown ap-
pointing all of the upper house the
Spanish crown is to appoint only one
half the members of the upper house
of Cuba The other half is to be
elected by the people of Cuba every
five years. There is $4,000 property
qualification for membership in the
upper house of Cuba the same as that
in Canada.
'There is 81, 500 property qualifica-
tion for membership in the lower
house in Canada and also qualifica-
tion as to those who may vote for such
members. But in the new plan for
Cuba there is no property qualification
as to the electors. 1t is one man, one
vote, the same be he black or white
If the new home rule law is compared
with the systems prevailing in the sew
erai states of the United States, it will
be found that Cuba is to have a far
greater measure of control of her own
affairs than do the several states in
this country. For instance, she is Civ
en- control of her postal affairs, bank
ing, currency and customs.
"There is another feature which
should be noted. For the first time
the government has said officially that
Spain will assume part of the debt of
Cuba. The payment of this debt is to
be arranged by the cortes, but is to be
on a basis satisfactory to both parties y

A Blow at Sunday Closing Laws.

Columbus, Nov. 30. - Police Court
Judge Swartz, of this city, rendered a
decision Saturday in the trial of the
proprietor OF a bowling alley, who
was arrested for permitting games in
his place on Sunday, which throws the
town open to all kinds of sports on
Sunday. Judge Swartz holds that the
city council has no right to pass an or
dinance prohibiting amusements on
Sunday that are not morally wrong or
offensive if indulged in on any other
day of the week. The case will be ap-
pealed.

Killing for One Year.
Ottawa, Ont, Nov. 29.-The reply of
the Canadian government to the prop
osition of the United States that the
Canadians should stop killing seals for
a year beginning January /, 1893, indi-
Gates that it is not possible to comply
with the proposal, as every British sub
ject has right to engage in pelagic
sealing unless prohibited by imperial
decree, which can only be issued by
authority of the imperial parliament,
which will not meet until February.
The Canadian reply suggests that the
proposed joint commission be appointed
and meet at once; when, upon conclu-
sion of negotiations upon the questions
at issue, including the sealing ques-
tion, the necessary legislation could be
secured from the British parliament
and the suspension of pelagic sealing
go into effect in the spring.
