A RETALIATORY MEASURE
At a Time When Friendly Re-
 ciprocity was Pending
that 1t Seemed Would Have . Favorable Termination Followed by what Transpires to Have Been Onaint usS encs.

Washington, Dac. 21.-The action of the French chamber of deputies yes tenday in passing a government bill incre eaising the duties on hogs, hog p O. ducts, lard, etc., is regarded as re- taiiato1y in it's effects against ths United States. For some time negOtia- tiOns have been proceeding between France and this country toward mak- ing reciprocity arrangement. They came to a stop recently when the au- thorities here asked as a condition of such an agreement that France would raise its restrictions against American cattle and meat products.
 The French ambassador, M Pate nDtGe, communicated with his govern ment, but no reply was given. He was soon after directed to return to Paris, where he is now in conference with the French authorities. No wo d has been received as to the purpose cf France since the ambassador left, bu. the action in the chamber of deputies yesterday when raise of duties on certain meat products was put through by the premier, M. Meline, leads to the conclusion thA. the French policy will not be toward abolishing the rs- str.ctions, but towards inc1elasing ,he.r strlugency.

San Francisco, Dec. 21.-D strict At torney Barnes was formally served with a notice today that on next Eli day the attorneys for w. H. T. Dur rerE the condemned murderer, will appear in Judge Bahrs' court. They will ask for change of venue, al1eg- ing that Judge BahTs is biased and prejudiced.

FOR HOME CONSUMPTION.
Purpose of the Speeches Against the
 Civil Service Law

Washington, Dec. 21.-1f the men in the house of representatives who are attacking the civil service law really mean business they are pro ceeding in a very curious manner. Their course has suggested the idea that perhaps the law is mot in as great danger as at first appeared. Some of the men who are making the fight are undoubtedly in deep earnest and are vicious in their antagonfsm to the law, but it looks now as if many were merely maki g a spectacular stituents who want office The del uge of debate on the subject provoked by the legislative bill is nothing more than the firing of blank cartridges, and tihe proposition to resume the dis cussion of that particular subject in connection with the same npprop. ia tion bill for an indefinite period afteu the holidays appears to have no other object tlhan to give uneasy members an opportunity to place themselves on record against the law under such cu1cumstamce as to do no harm If it were expected that a bill repeating or modifying the civil service law would be considered and passed all the record necessary to be male would be made when that bill was discussed and voted on and there would be no need for the merely de clamatory record now being regis tered.
 It is a fact we'll understood that the repeal or modification of the law cannot be accomplished by an amend ment to the appropriation bill in the house, as such an amendment would be subject to a point Of order It is equally we'll understood that the syS- tenn cannot be destroyed by the indf- rect means of striking out the approx riation for the civil service commits sion, for if this were done in the house the appropriation would be re- stored in conference, and the fl iluae to appropriate would not accon \lish what the ensmies of the law mt,

The reduction amounts to a virtual reduction of 30 per cent in wages. An official says that the reduction is saving of $20,- 900 a month to the company and was caused by a slump in business.

anyhow. The law would be still in patronage from the hungry polite ianS.
 The only effect of the discussion is, therefore, to permit members to get their opinions or preten'ded opinions cf the civil service system printed iu the record-in convenient form to be circulated among such of their con- stituents as are disappointed at not being able to command the spells.
 Apparently the house, managers and the appropriations committee under Stand that, and it Is for this reason that they are willing to give all me time demanded for this discussion, which they know must be fruitless except as a consumption of spleen to render less ranccrous and less likely to be effective any move agamst the law on direct and practical lines.
 This does not relieve the situation of danger from a civil service refCrm- CTS point of view, but it renders the danger much less The chances are tha. a considerable number of those attacking the law will mot insist upon going further after they have sprend ti,eir declamationis in the record Very few of them wamlt to transform themselves into horses on whose bucks hungTy constituency may ride iD.lo office.

 - Albany, N. Y, Dec. 21.-Albert s. Warmer, the krdnapper of little John Conway, was captured yesterday in Riley, a small town in Kansas, by De- tective Joseph McCann of the Albany police department.
 Warner was in Philadelphia as late as a month ago, and before that was in Sea Bright, N. J., where he has brother employed as clerk in the Sea Bright inn. The place was shad- owed day and night for long time, and finally Warmer left and went to Philadelphia. There all trace of him was lost by the Albany police, and the trail was not picked up until last Thursday, when private information was secured.
 Warmers fellow conspiraitors, Blake , and Hardy, now in Clinton prison, kwere captured soon after the crime Iad been committed, but Warner. who was last seen in Schenectady, dis played his shrewdness and tact in the Remarkable chase across the conti- nent, which has finally resulted Tn his being taken prisoner.
 Extradition papers will be forward ed to Kansas tomorrow.
 The apprehension of Warner com pletes the capture of one of the most dangerous gangs that had ever been formed to prey upon society. They had planned ito conduct their kidnap- ping operations in many of the cities of the state. Included in the scheme was the abduction of a, child of John D. Rockefeller, the milliorasce.
