Blood Flows In Paris.

PARIS, August l7.-As an anti-Semite
group was standing on the corner of
the Faubourg st. Denis and the Rue
de Valenciennes some passers-by were
greeted with cries of down with the
Jesuits," whereupon they were sur
rounded and threatened by the demon
strators. A supposed anarchist then
fired several revolver shots, wounding
three men. One of them, man nam
ed Camille, was taken to n hospital
seriously wounded. The alleged an
nrchist was arrested.

THE TRAFFIC ASSOCIATION.

FOR some time past the merchants OF St LOUIS
Chicago and other important points OF the
Mississippi Valley have been engaged in an
effort to induce the Interstate Commerce Commission
to so change the existing freight diferentias as to
give to those cities material advantages the cities
OF the Atlantic and the Pacific coasts, The movement
urged under the lead OF the St Louis Association has
now become menace to the coast Jobbers and 1t IS
clear that unless something be done to couneract II
the results may be seriously hurtiu to our interests,
not only in the city but throughout the State.
Under such circumstances it is gratifying to note
that the merchants OF San Francisco have organized
to conserve the trade interests Of California and the
coast The Traffic Association which has just been
formed has been brought together and established
mainly for this contest. In fact Charles Hobrook
on taking the chair at the first meeting OF the pro-
noters OF the movement said
1--WE are called for the purpose OF organizing a
traffic association to combat the proposition OF the St.
Louis Association which has asked for lower dferen-
tias to intermediate coast points and also for graded
rates from the Atlantic Coast to St. Louis and
Chicago It's effort is to secure rate lower than that
enjoyed by San Francisco If St. Louis ship 100
pounds to any interior point cheaper than we can
ship carload out here, it is plain that the San Fran
cisco jobber will have to go out OF business.
From the earnestness with which merchants
have entered into the contest it is evident the time
when they were content to do business indifferent to
fate" has gone by. They aroused to the
necessity OF entering into necessarily active COM
petition for trade and OF being alert and
vigorous. That in itself is a good sign OF the new
era and the city and the State be congratulated
the change from the old order Of things
The San Francisco Association will not have to
fight the battle alone. Our dispatches OF yesterday
announced that the large commercial houses of Bos-
ton, New York, Philadelphia and of Galveston realize
the importance of the issue to them and would on
their side oppose the aggressive pretensions OF the St
Louis and Chicago boomers. It is reasonable to
assume that the merchants of the Puget Sound cities.
OF Portland and OF Los Angeles and San Diego will
join also in the contest, for in proportion their
trade the issue affects them as much as San Fran
cisco.
The question, it must be borne in mind concerns not
only the jobbing centers but all the country round
about them. San Francisco is the great market and
depot for all California products and whatever injuries
the city will in the end be injurious every interest
OF the State at large The Traffic Association, there
FORE merits the hearty cooperation OF the people
generally in its contest for the commercial interests
OF the coast since has for its object the welfare OF
all.

that the vessels had been kept in good
repairs during this period a an average
expenditure of say per cent per annum,
the alleged depression should be reduced
correspondingly. AS matter of fact the
| hulls of the two first types are practically
indestructible If properly cared for; the
! motive power may also be preserved for
a great number of years with proper
treatment, and the only serious and un-
preventable depreciation of the vessels
enumerated is due to the fact that they
rapidly become obsolete and there are
scores of these in the several navies.
A third-class sheathed cruiser. named
Infernet. was launched at Bordeaux Sep
tember T. She is 2452 tons displacement
81 feet inches in length, 80 feet inches
breadth and Is feet inches draught. The
engines, of $500 horsepower, are to give a
speed of 201a knots. Her battery embraces
two six-inch, four three and half-inch,
eight six-pounders and ten one and a half
Founders. The launching took place with
the engines and boilers in the ship, and
she will be rapidly completed.
The Canopus. British battleship of 70 $50
tons, recently completed, passed through
her eight-hour full-power trial on Sep
tember u. With 2S9 pounds of steam the
revolutions averaged 1885, developing 13 763
15.5 knots. The coal consumption was only
LIP pounds per horsepower per hour. The
designed horsepower was Is 800 which
was exceeded by 263 but the intended
speed of 1915 knots fell short by one
fourth of a knot, if the log recorded accu-
ratey. The ship was down to a draught
of twenty-six feet on an even keel, which
exceeds the draught legend by seven
inches, or about $50 tons extra displace-
ment.
Great difficulty was experienced in
building the Oriental drydock at Shang-
hal. The soil was muddy sand without
cohesion, and to secure a solid foundation
$500 twelve-inch piles of twenty-four foot
length were driven over the area of the
bottom. These piles were capped longi-
tudinally, upon which again transverse
stringers were laid all of which timber
work was bedded in seven feet of con-
crete and foored with three-inch plank
The keel-blocks are spaced with four-foot
centers with six piles under each block
and when recently a vessel of war weigh
ing 1000 tons was docked there was no
sign of sagging or other infirmities of the
structure.
A sheathed cruiser of 6375 tons is to be
built at the new Russian Government
yard at Windau. The vessel is to be 412
Ieet IN lehBth' % Ieel lnches peam ana
20 feet inches draught. The engines,
with twelve Normand boilers, will devel-
op 10000 horsepower to give a speed of
% knots. There will be three tunnels and
two military masts and the armament
will be composed Of four S-inch and two
turrets, twelve 6-inch Canet quick-firers
of As calibers, of which eight In classmates
and four on upper deck; twelve 3-fnch
50-caliber quick-frers in battery and eight
6-pounder Hotchkiss, besides five torpedo
tubes, of which two are under water The
cruiser will have the unusual high free
board of 20 feet inches.

REVISION OF THE VAR TAX.

7 ATE reports from Washington confirm those
sent out some time ago to the effect that in
- order to provide sufficient to meet
the expenses of the Government Congress will be
urged by the administration to undertake radical
revision of the war revenue law. 1t is stated by the
Philadelphia Ledger that among the probabilities of
the revision are that the rigor Of the law will be
increased defects which have resulted in serious loss
of revenue will be corrected and new subjects for
internal revenue taxation will be ngenously sought
Such revision will cure i'll the existing law the
defects which have resulted in loss OF revenue will
be cordially approved by the people, but they will
expect something more. Under the law as it stands
there has been practiced wholesale tax Sinking 1v
some OF the large corporations of the country the
most notorious offenders being the express COM
panies 1t will be expected OF Congress that evils Of
that kind be remedied well as those which diminish
the revenues of the Government
The Call recently obtained from Senator Perkins
and the members OF the House OF Representatives
from California statements plainly declaring their
purpose to assist in putting end the outrageous
extortons which the tax shrkers have so long prac-
ticed 1t can hardly be doubted that majority OF
the House will stand with them on the issue for the
wrong done by the express companies has not been
practiced in this State only From every part of the
Union complaints have been heard and in several
States besides California the people have in many
cases appealed to the courts for redress.
One OF the extraordinary features of the tax shrl-
ing is that while the have uniformly declared
the plain intent OF the law to be that the express COM
panies shall pay the tax the corporations have gone
with the Sinking as il the decisions OF the courts
were worthless. Every day of delay adds an enor-
nous to the amount taken from the people by
the companies, and yet for some reason the courts
seem willing to grant them delay
1t will be remembered that when the corporations
wished prompt decision on the income tax law the
courts provided way by which final judgment was
given before the first installment of the tax was due
Since similar promptness cannot be obtained in the
present instance to protect the public from the
rapacy OF the corporations, Congressional action be-
comes imperative and it will be with no little salts
faction the people will the undertaking of the
revision OF the law

vessels has been figured by japanese navy
officials to range as follows on the first
cost: Armored ships, SO per cent; un-
armored vessels, 54 per cent, and Go per
