PARIS, Sept. I-OWing to the raSlg-
nation Of N. CavaiEnae Of the ministry
Of war, President Fauro returned 70
Paris this morning and conferred With
NJ. Delcasse, minister for foreign At-
fairs. n. Bourgeois, minister Of public
education, and General zuTllnden. The
cabinet will meet to-morOV expressly
to deal with a request from Madame
Dreyfus for 4 revision OF the proceed
ingS Of the courtmaFtial that eon-
demnsd her husband.
As the cabinet 10 now practically
unanimously in favor Of revision, part
ly because the ministers are aware that
there iB no other method Of satiBtying
public feeling, the outcome Of the NETT
Ing Is almost a foregone conclusIon.
II is NOT thought that II. Cavalgnac'S
retirement will involve the resignatlon
of other ministers. The fact that Gen.
eral zurllnden has been in conferenee
with N. Faure iS taken TO mean that
he will succeed N. Cavignae At the war
office.
The ministerial conferences which
have been continued throughout the day
have had to do with the details Of re.
vision. There Is no foundation for the
report that the chambers win be ims
mediately convoked.
According to lie soir, ~. Faure, who
received NJ. Cavaignac to-day, strongly
urged him to Withdraw his resignation.
The paper also assertS that at the
council tomorrow the president will
endeavor to prevent decision in favor
OF revision. On the same authority Il
Is announced that General Roger, chief

tire ct his own request.

REPl RLlCANs AND THE GOLD
STANDARD.

Secretary Cages interesting letter TO
the Tacoma Chamber OF Commerce is a
very courageous exposition of his views
upon the currency question. Not only
is Mr.. Gage n well-informed authority
upon the subject OF finance. but he must
know. as man of the world how much
public sentiment has To do with the So
luton Of such questions. No difference
Of opinion alters the truth. but men
sometimes arrive at the same concur
sion through different experiences and
lines of thought.

standard he does not differ very much

DON'T GET EXCITED.

The newspapers which suffer the seri-
northern side of the boundary line are
sust now contributing to the gayety of
nations by their deiirious comment on
the klonaike situation and the attitude
OF the Washington authorities. They
have reached a conclusion To them
selves highly satisfactory, If altogether
impotent. that Secretary Gage has act
ed in very bad faith In not making II
practicable for Canadians Ia use the
bonding privilege at D3ea and Skaguay.
They declare that the confidence of
Secretary Sifton has been grossly
abused. in that hs was promised that
new regulations would be made ef-
fective at once; but a month has
elapsed and nothing has been done.
We find In one OF these papers the
eioomy admission that the British Co
lumbia cities are not doing one-tenth
of the outatting for Alaska and the
kiondikc. and they kaew that the iraf-
fic has already assumed heavy diGncn-
ssons. This Is the fiy ia the Canadian

free silverite would admit that it was

that the doctrine proclaimed in the ST.

not agree with Secretary Gage; but they
must admit that he speaks with the
conservatism of man who always
wants to be on the safe side. AS a re-

- ever greater than WEE ant.ct-
pated. 1t comes partly through the local

treasury between $4,000 and $4,000
within the past sixty days or So
The report Of the county treasurer for
the last quarter Of the year 1891 shows
IN increase OF 100000 in the receipts
over the corresponding period for the
year before. The expenses were not in
creasing in the same proportion. and
the result liz that the balance Of cash
on hand at the end OF the year was
nearly twice az large as for the year be-
fore.
As delinquent taxes due the city come

nee. part Of that money is due to the

was paid in.
During these three months there was
also paid In to the credit of the city's

There Is yet very considerable sum

The Historian is not Inclined TO submit
without protest 10 the proposed sale by
the Oregan Railroad and Navigation Com
pany and transfer OF idle Columbia river
steamboats, TO Puget sound for use in the

the fine steamer Potter:
Astoria has thus some moral right to
be consulted on the question of her trans
fer. LIT Portland send as much OF her
own property and business interests 10

her rights by the gift of anything In

way TO prevent such an outrage"
In the absence Of any audible response
from the opuleut MIR. Hammond, We as
sumo that the editorial appeal TO his

Historian ought TO console Itself with the
reflection that the Potter viii be given
