Paris, July 17. All France was excited
when it became known that the Government
had suffered a defeat yesterday in the Cham
ber of Deputies, on the question of" inter
pellation on the subject of the German pass
port regulations. To-day, however, the
ministry was sustained bv a vote of con
fidence, which was carried W 313 to 103. M.
Laur's motion in l egard to the passport reg
ulations was subsequently tabled.
The announcement of the result was re
ceived with an outburst of cheering, and re
peated cries of "Vive la Rcpublique." In
the streets the people stood amazed at the
magnificent rally of the Deputies to the
support of the Government. The coalition
which cast the maioritv of 83 votes atrainst
the Government yesterday was quietly
formed and confident of success, but was
scarcely aware of its own strength.

LONDON, July 17. Nothing has recently
excited the inner Conservative circles so
much as Lord Salisbury's declaration that
female suffrage ought to form a part of rom
ing electoral reforms. The election agents
of intending candidates besiege the execu
tive of the Conservative Association, de
manding to know whether this is an essen
tial part of the Government programme. A
host of members of tbe House of Commons
have warned the executive that a female
vote plank would not be accepted by an in
fluential section of the party without a pro
test The Premier has long been known to be
inclined to concede the right of suffrage to
women as a probable counterpoise to the
democratic tendency to the principle of
manhood suffrage, but now for the first time
he has tried to commit the party to the mo
mentous change of franchise. The council
of the Conserative Association, at an in
formal meeting to-day, without passing a
resolution to that effect, decided to intimate
to Lord Salisbury that the party was so di
vided on the question that it would be un
wise to recognize it is a Conservative prin
ciple. The Conservative rarty Programme.
In spite of Lord Salisbury's decision that
the life of Parliament will not expire until
August, 1S93, electoral agents are preparing
for dissolution in the spring. The Conser
vative platform, upon which candidates will
begin their canvass vt ithout delay, is now
definitely cast Apart from the Irish local
Government bill, in the consideration of
which the Ministerialists expect and desire
such obstruction as will justify dissolution
in the spring, the platform will include a
reform bill amending the distribution of
seats by reducing the Welsh and Irish rep
resentation, slightly increasinc the Scotch
and giving large advantages to the English
representation.
Other planks will be: The maintenance
of the freeholders' franchise; the mainten
ance of the residential safeeuard against per
sonation; the abolition of the illiterate vote,
and legislation securing old age pensions
and for the creation of workmen's boards
of arbitration. To sum ud. in the nlatform
as now officially fixed and indorsed by the
Chamberlain's age assurance scheme are in-
uurseu, iuus commuting ine party 10
further developments on the lines of state
t-ocialisni, and a redistribution of seats wiU
be a strong card in the game.
PThe Liberals, however unwilling io have
their ranks depicted by a decrease of votes,
iaut recognize the justice of removing the
crying scandal by which London, which is
nearly as populous as Ireland, returns 40
fewer members.
Suspended From the House of Lords.
The suspension of a peer, a rare event in
the Upper House of Parliament, occurred
to-night in the case of the erratic Lord Den
man, the successor of the illustrious Judge
Denman, but inheriting little of his father's
pon er. Lord Denman liad given notice of
u motion for a return of the number of days
onMhich the late Lord Granville had at
tended the Houc, and also the days on
which he himself attended during "Lord
Granville's lifetime.
Whether the motion was inspired by
sheer crankiness or by malice, Lord Den
man was not allowed to explain. He was
about to rise to speak -n hen Lord Salisburv,
interposing, said that the motion could only
be described as unseemly. He might usea
stronger vt ord, but he preferred not to dis
cuss the motion. He would simply move
that Lord Denman should not be heard dur
ing the remainder of the session. Lord
Kiinberly concurred, and Lord Salisbury's
motion was agreed to in silence. Lord
Denmau "sloped," looking daggers at Lord
Salisbury, with whom he has an old feud,
once nearly culminating in personal vio
lence. The Irish leadership Question
Mr. Sexton obtains the support of several
Irish Bishops, and is increasing the adhe
sion of members who will support him as
leader of the Irish party on Mr. McCarthy's
withdrawal. The personal friends of Mr.
Dillon lav stress unon his- relnntnnpr inland
any but a reunited party. He is disposed
lo join his brother in America and to
abandon political agitation for a time. The
bulk of the LiberaU, if consulted, would
select Mr. Sexton before Mr. Dillon. Dur
ing the progress of the Irish land bill Mr.
Sexton added immensely to his reputation
as a tactician. Ho is the ablest debater in
the IMrty, and is now recognraed as an adept
in the quiet, judicious handling of affairs.
Sensational rumors that Mrs. Parnell has
in her possession compromising corre
spondence with Mr. Gladstone, which she
obtained while she was a go-between be
tween Mr. Parnell and the Liberal leaders,
have a basis of truth. Durintr the ueriod
when Mi. Parnell was in Kilmainham jail,
Mrs. O'Shea was a busy medium and was
in constant communication with Mr. Cham
berlain, Mr. Morley and others, but never
with Mr. Gladstone If Mr. Parnell chooses
to publish these letters they will disclose
chiefly the keen political craft of Mrs.
O'Shea and the entire unconsciousness of
the Liberals that her relations with Mr.
Parnell Mere other than pure.
Kudo Art Again to the Front.
The vigilant purists got Lord Stanley, of
Alderney, to raise a question in the House
of Lords in regard to the national purchase
of Calderon's picture of St Elizabeth nude.
Lord Salisbury ridiculed the idea that the
picture outraged the feelings of Catholics.
He said he had not seen the picture. He
wished he had. He had seen a travesty
wherein a lady showed her back to a County
Councillor. The question of clothes was
one into which he could not enter. There
were plenty of similar c.assical pictures that
did not ofiend Catholics. Finally, he con
cluded, the picture was placed in great se
clusion. These few jesting words disposed
of the matter. The purists have scored a
point, however, by getting a magistrate's
order to destroy photographs of Gerome's,
Pougeureau's and other great French art
ists w orks. The leading argument against
the sales of such photographs was that while
the paintings might not be indecent the pho
tographic reproductions niay be. English
nrtit-ts treat the prosecution with silent
contempt
There is a court report current that the
Queen has written to the King of Itoumania
advising him lo let the love episode of the
Crown Prince with Helena Vacaresco take
its natural course, and reminding him of the
marriages of affection in the English royal
family.
Tho American and English Systems Ex
plained by Congregationallsts.
London, July 17. At this morning's
meeting of the International Congregation
alist Council, Pros. F. W. Fisk, of Chicago,
read a paper on the "American System."
Prof. Fisk said that it was the general rule
that those desirous of entering the ministry
should be trained in seminaries for three
years.
In order to secure admission to these
seminaries, be added, a collegiate education
was necessary. The professor also ex
plained the course of training. Other
speakers from among English ministers ex
plained the English system.

FOETEE'S MUTING VOLUME.
It Shows the Production of Gold and Silver
In Tula Country for 1889.
Washington, July 17. The Superin
tendent of the Census has Bent to the Gov
ernment printing office the material for the
first part of the mining volume of the
eleventh census. The most important part
of this matter has already beeu published,
with the exception of the part re
lating to the production of gold
and silver in the United States during
the calendar year 1889. A bulletin on this
subject was issued from the census office to
day. The bulletin, after referring to Ibe
difficulty of obtaining information from
individual prospectors and small mines,
says that gold is mainly produced by a few
large accessible mines, from which it is easy
to get statistical information, but the cost
of production at such mines would not
fairly represent small mines or prospectors.
The bulletin shows that the production of
bullion during the year 1889 was: Gold,l,590,
8G9 ounces; United States coining value,
532,886,744; silver, 51,354,851; United States
coining value, W6,39G,'J88; total, United
States coining value, 99,283,792. In gold
this is nearly 28 per cent of the world's
product, and in silver 41 per cent.
MIKE KELLY'S FBEAK.
Ho Deserts the CIncinnatis and Disappears
From Sight Entirely.
rSPDCIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
"Washington, July 17. Mike Kellv's
absence from the Cincinnati team at this
time has caused the wildest ranire of
conjecture, and no explanation can
be given by those who ought to know the
true inwardness of the matter. Ed Andrews,
who is in charge of the Bed Stockings tem
porarily) said to-night that after the third
losing game in Boston on "Wednesday Kelly
entered the coach at the grounds and told
the men that they must obey implicitly
whatever Andrews" told them, and nobody
else. Thus saying, Kelly vanished from
the coach and rejoined his family, who
were waiting for him at the crounds.
"From that time to the present" remarked
Captain Andrews to-night, "I have not had
a word from him. Everything was turned
over to me absolutely, transportations and
hotel money, and I was instructed to look
after the gate reoeipts, and in fact attend to
everything. This work is usually allotted
toManager Bancroft, but he obtained per
mission from President Kramer to absent
himself from the club, too, and remain in
New England until to-morrow, Saturday.
If Mike Kelly has left us, he certaiuly con
veyed no intimation of snch a course to the
other players or myself."
LYNN'S PBANTIC APPEAL.
New York, July 17. A Chinese leper
has been discovered in an Eastside laundry.
He is Chin Hop Sing, and when the repre
sentative of the health authorities paid him
a professional visit he was industriously
ironing a shirt He has been a leper eight
months, and seven months of that time ho
has spent in washing the linen of East
siders. The health office decided that It
was a genuine case of leprosy, but say they
cannot take the man in charge because they
have no place to tako him. Here is the
story of the Chinaman:
A year and half ago, when Chin Hop
Sing came to this city from San Francisco,
he was as healthy a dumpy little Chinaman
as anyone would wish to see. There were,
however, queer rumors about him. It was
said that Chin Hop Sing had lived with a
leprous friend in San Francisco, and that
he had helped to support him until one day
the doctors came and took the friend away.
Forsaken by All His Friends.
His countrymen shunned him and would
hasten out or his way when he approached
them. At last he was driven into a miser
able room, where only the lowest of the low
live, and where, it is said, other lepers have
hidden themselves from public gaze. In
that place Chin Hop Sing lived until a fund
of 8200 was raised to take him back to
China.
His friends were not aotuated by any
feeling of kindness or sympathy. They
wanted to get him out of the way. Chin
took the money and promised to go away,
and he did no awav. but onlv as far as New
ark, where he invested part of his money in
a laundry, Th,e place had been kept by
Li Chung. Chung was a leper and in a very
bad way with the disease.
The two lepers formed a partnership.
Chung was rapidly growing worse. Hop
Sing's malady was beginning to show itself
in the super-sensitive blotches which broke
out on his back and neck. The strange part
nership did not last very long. Just what
broke it up no one knows. Some say that
Chung got so bad that he could not work,
and that Hop Sing did not want to do all
the work.
Chin Hop Sing braved the wrath of the
subscribers of the fund and returned to New
York. His head had begun to swell, his
ears were assuming enormous proportions
and his nose had reached a remarkable size.
Besides his eye lashes had dropped out and
he was getting bald.
A Fellow Celestial Terrorized.
He went to the laundry of his cousin,
Chin En, and demanded admittance. The
cousin was afraid to send him away, so he
let him sleep there until morning. "When
Chin En awoke and saw how Chin-Hop
Sing looked, he was terror-stricken. He
would not stay in the place another hour.
He believed it was infested already with
the fearful disease. He told the leper he
would sell out lor fou. xne bargain was -I
made, and Chin En has not been seen since.
Chin Hop Sing took possession of the
shop immediately and went right on with
the business. He has been washing and
ironing clothes there ever since.
The little fat-faced Chinaman, whom the
people in the neighborhood have patronized
lor the past seven months, is a leper, and he
has been in sucli a bad way recently that ho
could hardly do the work. For hours at a
time he has been compelled to rest He has
found it impossible to get any help, for
there was not a Chinaman in the city who
would work ten minutes for him. Some
time he would find a strange Chinaman
from San Francisco or New Orleans who
would work for him, but he would leave as
soon as he found what was the matter with
his employer. The case was reported to the
ooara mis morning.
YACHTING IN MALE ATTTBE.
A Young lady Creates a Sensation In a
Small New York Town.
Stamford, N. Y., July 17. A sensation
was created here to-day by the discovery of
a girl in men's clothes yachting with the
men. The boat put ashore for water, and
when the boat reached the beach it was
discovered that one of the men was an ex
tremely nrettv vouncr woman dressed in
men's clothing. She wore her heavy brown
hair in a long braid down her back. She
was tall and slim, and wore a man's blue
flannel shirt, with dark trousers, held up by
a leather belt A blue vachtine cap was
jauntily pitched on top of her pretty head.
She seemed a little embarrassed at the at
tention she was attracting. Her companion,
a rather rough-looking man, filled tho water
cask and they rowed back to the sloop. As
the young woman stepped aboard her com
panion pulled her hair out of braid and it
fell in a rippling mass over her shoulders to
her knees.
She laughed and seated herself at the
wheel, while her male companions pulled
up the anchor and hoisted the jib. As the
boat filled away on the port tack and
reached out. of the harbor tne girl at the
wheel waved her hat at the crowd on the
beach.

of the Missions.
Boston, July 17. The annual report of
the American Baptist Missionary Union
shows the total receipts for last year to have
been 5472,174, and the appropria
tions ?525,826. The debt at the
close of the year was ?61,593,
caused, not by decreased contributions, but
enlarged operations. The society has a
permanent fund of 382,797, In the Asiatic

there were 6 churches.
The society has also missions in Sweden,
Germany, Russia, Denmark, France and
Spain, in which countries there are 734
churches and 76,039 members. There has
been a large addition to the number of mis
sionaries during the past year, and the gen
eral outlook is very favorable, except that
in Bussia the missionaries are exposed to
persecution, and may at any time be ex
celled at an hour's notice.

in which he says that the Sheriff at Flag

of the Navajo Indians as a result of the
arrest of their chief. Tho United States
Marshal reports to General McCook that
there is no danger, and to settle the doubt
raised by the conflicting statements, the
General has sent an officerto the reservation
to ascertain and report the facts.
A press dispatch from Flagstaff says:
Trouble with the Navajos is at an end. The
Indian chief arrested "has had his examina
tion, andas there was not sufficient evidence
to hold him on a charge of horse stealing,
he has been discharged and has returned to
the reservation. At no time during the ex
citement of the past week has there been
any fear of collision between the whites and
Navajos, and no trouble is anticipated.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1
Chicago, July 17. The managers of

which have their headquarters in Chicago,
are just now cudgeling their brains to know
what course to tako with reference to tho

by Eastern manufacturers who, are or may
become interested in this sort of organiza
tions which it relates. The first section
provides that if any corporation, resident or
Foreign, any firm, association, or indi
vidual "shall create, enter into,
or become a member of or party to any
pool, trust, agreement, combination, con
federation, or understanding with any
other corporation, partnership, individual,
or any other person or association of per
sons, to regulate or fix the price of any arti
cle of merchandise or commodity, or shall
enter into, become a member of, or a party
to, any pool, agreement, contract, combina
tion or confederation to fix or limit the
amount or quantity of any article, commod
ity or merchandise' to be manufactured,
mined, produced or sold in this State, such
corporation, partnership, or individual, or
other association of persons, Bhall be
deemed and adjudged guilty of a conspiracy
to defraud."
Aimed at a Glass Combine.
The second section reads as if it had been
aimed at the window glass combine, which
was made at Chicago several months ago by
the Pittsburg and Western manufacturers of
that article. It provides that:
"It shall not be lawful for any corporation
to issue or to own trust certificates,or for any
corporation agent, officer, or employes, or
the directors or stockholder of any corpora
tion to enter into any combination, con
tract or agreement with any person or per
sons, corporation or corporations, or with
any stockholder or director thereof, the pur
pose and effect of which combination, con
tract or agreement shall be to place the
management or control of such com
bination or combinations, or the
manufactured product thereof, in
the hands ol any trustee or
trustees, with the intent to limit or fix the
price, or lessen the production and sale of
any article of commerce, use or consump
tion, or to prevent, restrict or diminish the
manufacture or output of any such article."
The subsequent sections provide a scale of
fines of not less than So00 nor more than
$2,000 for the first offense, not less than
2,000 nor more than 55,000 for the second
offense, not less than $5,000 nor more than
510,000 for the third offense, and for every
subsequent offense the offender is liable to a
fine of S1G.000.
Punishing Trust Makers.
Several penalties are to be paid by any
"corporation or company, firm or associa
tion" which may be found guilty of a vio
lation of this act. If any individual is
found guiltv of this offense, his punish
ment is a fine of not less than $200, nor
more than $1,000, or imprisonment in the
county jail not exceeding one year, or both,
in the discretion of the court All con
tracts in violation of the act are declared to
be "absolutely void," and any purchaser
of any article or commodity from any indi
vidual, company, or corporation transact
ing business contrary to any provision of
this act "shall not be liable for the price or
payment of such article or commodity, and
may plead this act as a defense to any suit
ior sucn price or payment it is maae
the duty or the Attorney General and the
Srosecuting attorneys in their respective
istricts to enforce the act, and the in
former is given one-fifth of the fines collected.
It is already known that the act has
broken up the American "Watch Case Man
ufacturing Association, one of the most ex-
acting trusts in this country, with its head
quarters at New York, andthe National As
sociation of Jobbers in American Watches,
which is dependent on it.
Effects of the Legislation.
This result is reached by the withdrawal
from the trust of the Elgin National "Watch
Company, of Illinois, which, in a circular
to the trade, stated that the new law was
the reason for its action. The Grocery
Trust has also been abandoned, but there
has not yet been any break in the line of
that large and powerful class of trusts
h hich exist in the form of corporations.
First and foremost among these, in point of
capital ana political innuence ana power, is
the "Whisky Trust, which is an Illinois cor
poration, under the name of "The Distil
lers and Cattle Feeders' Association."
Another very prominent one, well known
in the East, is the "United Glass Com
pany," a corporation organized under the
laws of New York, having its headquarters
at Syracuse, in that State, and, as a corpor
ation, owning the plants of 20 odd factories
in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois which it operates. Its busi
nes is all done from the Auditorium build
ing in this city. In every essential partic
ular it is a trust If the price of glass is
not satisfactory, orio or more of the factories
which it controls is Bhut down, or the work
ot production in all ceases entirely until the
market supply diminishes and rates become
more satisfactory. The question is: Will
the new act put an end to trusts of that
character, which in form are business cor
porations. A Test for tho Act
wholesale firms of Chicago its agent for the
sale of its product; it furnishes a price list
by which the agent is required to sell all
goods, and it requires the agent to
guarantee all payment for all goods
sold. AVhile this may prove satis
factory enough to the manufacturers,
it is far from being satisfactory to the
wholesalers. Its effect is to make eachone
of them a violator of one or more provisions
of the act and under its terms thev cannot
foroe payment in the courts for any goods
sold. The agency plan has been adoptedby
all the large tobacco houses of Louisville
and St Louis.
At a meeting of wholesalers held yester
day it was decided to have nothing moreto
do with the contract system by which
the trusts dictated the prices at
which goods were to be sold. The agency
plan was discussed at great length, and the
sentiment of all concerned was that it was
best to unite in opposition to all schemes
by which it is sought to evade the new law.
The Fairbanks soap concern stands by its
agreement with other members of the soap
combine. Its legal advisers take the posi
tion that tho anti-trust act is unconstitu
tional and cannot be enforced.
The paper manufacturers, too, seem to
have no fear of the legislative thunder
bolt, for they are in secret session at the
Auditorium Hotel for the purpose of devis
ing a plan by which the present demoraliza
tion in prices, which is due to reckless
competition, can De overcome.

it very interesting to you in
The Tame Ones Used to Entrap the Animals
and Hungor Subdues Them.
In the island of Ceylon the people arev
very fondjof elephant hunting. They be
gin by clearing an open space near a forest,
part of which is strongly fenced in with
trunks of trees, with open places for doors.
This is called a corral. "When so much of
the work is done the natives get behind and
around the elephants with blazing torches,
shaking spears and rattling all kinds of
noisy instruments in order to frighten the
huge animals while all the time driving
them toward the open doors of the corral.
At last with a rush the great herd enter,the
entrances are barred, and the poor giants of
the woods find themselves hopelessly im
prisoned. An elephant's rage is dreadful to witness,
but the ingenuity of man has found a way
of subduing it. One by one each prisoner
is freed again, and tame elephants, remark
able for their sagacity, come up to him,
stroke him with their trunks and otherwise
cajole him until they lead him onto a good,
strong tree. The natives creep up behind,
and in a minute a rope with a running knot
is round the elephant's leg and made tost to
a tree. All the time this is going on the
tame elephants are humoring their deluded
victim, but as soon as he is secured they go
away and leave him, which is a shabby
trick. Then the men brine him nice cocoa-
nuts and leaves to eat, which, of course, he
refuses, as he is again in a great passion and
struggling to be free. But hunger subdues
even the fiercest, and at last his wild roar
ing ceases to resound through the woods
and he is forced to eat. From that time
the taming process is comparatively easy;
again and again he is fed, as he requires it,
by a kind hand; and the elephant, suscepti
ble to kindness, becomes at last a docile
servant of man.

AN ODD LITTLE DEATH-TBAP.
One Buns a Great Kisk When Ho Swallows
Seeds With His Fruit
New York Bun.
The vermiform appendix is lined with a
mucous membrane, but it differs from the
rest of the intestinal canal in having only a
few very feeble muscles. It is therefore
unable to eject anything that may enter it.
Say that an orange or cherry seed is passing
through the system when this canal is con
stipated. It may be pushed into this cul-de-sac,
to remain there and never leave
until the surgeon's knife reaches it.
And, staying there, it may do no harm.
A sac may be formed about it, and it may
even.do good inpreventing anything else
from passing up into the death-trap. But,
egain, it may cause death. For an inflam
mation may set up about it, and communi
cate to the caecum and to all the other ad
jacent parts, or it may set to work itself out
with the aid of this ulceration, and may
penetrate the wall of the appendix and pro
duce peritonitis and death. To this form of
danger boys between 10 and 20 years seem
to be the most liable. In younger boys or
in men and in all females the danger is not
so great because of the different formations
of the appendix.

can be readily raised when the purchaser of
window glass or spirits from either of these
combines, "pleads in defense of a suit to en
force payment that his creditor exists in vio
lation of the anti-trust act, and asks to be
excused from payment on that ground. Un
til the courts have ruled upon it the attor
neys of the incorporated "combines" seem
inclined to take the ground that they arc
safe. It is said that some of them have ad
vised their clients to take the precaution
not to sell any goods directly to this trade,
but to make a sale first to some intervening
purchaser, so that the anti-trust act cannot
be pleaded as a defense.
Of course, if the incorporated trusts es
cape, the act will, for all practical purposes,
not be worth the space it occupies in the
statute book.

rSPECIAL TELEOItAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
New York, July 17. Forty Republicans
broke bread together to-night at the Ori
ental Hotel, Manhattan Beach, and were
glad to pay 510 each for the privi
lege. It was a complimentary dinner
to General J. S. Clarkson, of
Iowa, President of the National League of
Republican Clubs, who has just returned
from Europe. There were not a few well-
known Republicans of this city, however,
who thought that sea air would disagree
with them or who had other engagements.
For instance, Senator Warner Miller had a
pressing engagement at Herkimer. Then
there was Collector Erhardt He was very
sorry, but he had another engagement So
had Colonel Strong and Colonel Cruger.
Possibly the fact that ex-Senator Piatt
was to preside at the dinner made some of
these gentlemen remember their old en
gagements. Mr. Clarkson made a 6peech
giving his impressions. Some of the other
speakers were Major Bundy, General
O'Beirne and Nat McKay. While General
Clarkson was speaking, Russell Harrison
and Stephen B. Elkins walked down to the
Manhattan Hotel to get a breath ot air.
The makers of all these shirts ara recognized
, as the leading manufacturers. These re
ductions are only made to close out

fSPECIAL TELEGBAM.TO THE DISPATCH.1
Chicago, July 17. The trusts which
deal in spice, starch, soap,tobacco and other
articles handled by the wholesale grocers
are not yet ready to surrender to the anti
trust law which was passed by the last
Legislature.
The Woolscr Spice Company, of Toledo,
one of the largest importers of coffee, being
second only to the Arbuckles, of Pittsburg
and New York, has sent a circular to its
customcrs,the wholesale grocers of Chicago,
announcing that its attorneys are devising a
new scheme by which its product is to be
distributed as heretofore in tho State of
Illinois.
The tobacco men have already prepared
their scheme to evade the law. The Liggett
& Myers Tobacco Company, of St. Louis, a
leading member of the Tobacco Trust, in a-
circular proposes to appoint each of the jvffid!

New York, July 17. Several creditors of
