PLAIN TALK FROM FRANCE.
Charging Responsibility for Her
Minister'S Safety on the Chi
neSe.

Paris, Aug. II, 1890 p. NJ
The tsung Ii yamen forwarded,
through the Chinese minister in
Paris, Yu Keng, a message to the
French government complaining
of the "tardiness of the foreign
ministers in Pekin in replying
to the offer of the Chinese gov
ernment to conduct them under
escort"
The message proceeded to say
that the tsung ii yamen declined
to be responsible, in any way,
for any casualties which might
follow these delays, and insisted
that the European governments
order their representatives to
leave Pekin. To this communi
cation M. Delisse, minister of for
eign affairs, sent the following
reply:
mo order to depart from Pekin
VIII bO gwen OuT IulDlSl6TS SO
long as the route is unsafe. If a
casualty occurs the responsibility
will be entirely with the Chinese
government. It's strict duty is
to protect foreign ministers even
more than its own.
eff it be true that the Chinese
government has great difficulty
in defending them and in defend
ing itself against rebels, it should
order its troops to stand aside
before the allied forces. This
would render free the road from
Tien Tsin to the capital and thus
accomplish the work OF protection
which is encountered.
"Now the Chinese government
should understand that the only
means Of proving The sincerity Of
its designs and Of limiting its re-
sponsibilities is cessation of the
placing OF obstacles in the way
Of such an arrangement"

ART AND POLITICS.
Fraulein Stolle's Lecture Varied With
the Election Returns.

The attendance at Frau1ein Stol1e's
lecture last evening was not SO large as
on the preceding evening but that was
only natural when taking into consider
alton the many conflicting attra ctionS. Her
subject was: The Galleries of Rome and
the Vatican" and she led up to it with
an interesting little Introductory speech,
at the same time showing a. few views
one sees on approaching Rome. The
Coliseum and a few other well known
buildings in Rome were shown, ending
with a birds eye view Of the city after
which she led the way to the Vatican
where most of the evening was spent
Most of the evening was devoted to
the works Of Michael Angelo and Raph-
incidentally. The Sistine Chapel is a
subject in which most art students are
interested and Fraulein Stole took one
room in the chapel decorated by Mich
ael Angelo, first showing the ceiling and
frescoes as a whole, after which she
showed each section in detail so that ev-
cry one could plainly see the rich and
varied colOrs, even to the most delicate
tints, and could also gain clear idea
of the individuality of execution. Near
~ every one had seen copies of the or
iginals of the pictures shown or were al
least familiar with the subjects, but it is
an education in itself to see the original
colorings, which differ greatly from those
used today.
Fraulein Stole spoke of the great diff
fcUlties she had to cope with in obtain
ing some of her pictures. In Rome it is
an Offense for which one may be arrest
ed and fined, just to take a snap shot of
any of the natives in the streets, and the
cunning rogues will surround the unsus-
pecting tourists carrying cameras and
beg them to take their pictures after
which they call policemen and have
them arrested and fined.
F'raulein Stol1e's subject for this ev-
ening will be, THE Galleries of Flor
ence." A special rate of % cents for
children has been made. At intervals
last evening Superintendent Davidson
read the election returns.

FUSION GAINS.
Republicans Concede Loss of Nebraska
Legislature.

ocratic National Committeeman Dahl
man says the Nebraska legislature will
be fusion by II majority; that the fusion
state ticket is elected by about 5000 ma
jority and that the Bryan electors will
win by 1,500. Populist State Chairman
Edmiston claims the legislature by from
II to IA majority and also asserts the
election of the fusion state ticket and
the Bryan electors.
Republicans are inclined to concede
the legislature on the face of present re-
turns, but they allege fraud in Douglass
county Omaha and will contest. So
far, the returns show gains in the leg
islature of 16 members for the fusionists
over two years ago. The legislature will
elect two United States senator's.
