The Tariff takes about $1.75 or $2 off the material of a suit—and does pot reduce the price of labor, which fs nearly 75 per cent of its price. It 1s the “hand work’* and the “quality” of the materialy—durability, style, &., that makes custom tailoriiie so much superior to ready-made clothing, and, very naturally, @ little higher im price.

Faure’s Election. PARIS SEPTLES DOWN INTO TRANQUILITY France Emerges Safe From a Threatening Storm. ORLEANS RETURNS TO LONDON PARIS, January 18.—The election of M. Felix Faure to the presidency of the French republic has been well received by the mod- erate press, and is violently criticised by the radical and socialist newspapers. The Journal Des Debats says it is grat- ified at the defeat of M. Brisgon, and that in electing M. Faure, who ts a man of liberal and moderate mind and clear, sound intellect, the national assembly placed the destinics of France in gcod hands. The Radical is of the opinion that the election leaves matters in the condition of uncertainty and instability from which the republic is suffering. M. Millerand, the socialist deputy, and editor of the Petite Republique, says in his newspaper this morning that M. Faure is not president, but a mere supernumerary, adding: “The socialist party cannot be disturbed by the election of a man who has neither individuality of character nor par- tieular worth.” The Lanterne predic‘s the beginning of an era of violent rvaction, and adds: “Where Casimir-Perier failed Faure will also fail. We shall return to Versailles be- fore the year expires.” Paris was very tranquil last night. The boulevards were no more crowded than usual, and the suburbs were not excited. The working classes were astonished at M. Brisson’s defeat, but no demonstrations were reported. The entire police force was held in readiness for an emergency, but their services were not required for any- thing further than the usual police duties. A meeting of socialists and others took place yesterday evening at the Maison Du Peuple, at which a number of exciting speeches were made. Resolutions strongly condemning M. Felix Faure were adopted, and other resolutions demanding the sup- pression of the presidency were passed amid cries of “Vive la revolution sociale!” “Down with reaction!" ‘The staff of the ministry of marine call- ed upon President Faure today and bid farewell to him as their late chief. The president then went to the Elysee Palace, where he was received with military hon- ors, and took possession of the rooms pre- viously occupied by M. Casimir-Perier. ‘The new president, however, will not take up his official residence until Wednesday next. President Faure has received numbers of telegrams from all parts of France con- gratulating him upon his election. During the afternoon the President called upon Mme. Carnot, widow of the late Pres- ident Carnot, and he then received the vis- its of the presidents of the senate and of the chamber of deputies. EMERGED FROM THE STORM. France’s Lucky Escape From the ‘Threatened Peril. LONDON, January 18.—A dispatch to the Times frem Paris says that once more France has emerged without a shipwreck from one of the most unforeseen and threatening storms that ever assailed her. The contest was severe. M. Brisson se- cured the largest poll obtained by an un- successful candidate in twenty years. This is proof of the tenacity with which the two opposing forces deferded their posi- ticn. The dispatch con.ments on the surprises of French politics. It says that M. Faure was expected to play M. Waldeck-Ros- seau’s game, but is himself elected. Tho moderates chose two names almost at ran- dem. M. Waldeck-Rosseau was chosen be- cause it was supposed that M. Casimir- Perier would later have invited him to form a cabinet, ard M. Faure was chosen because @ week ago he was pressed to stand against M. Brisson for the presi- dency of the chamber of deputies. So much do things go by chance that M. Faure, who did not venture to contest the presidency of the chamber with M. Bris- son, won the chief magistracy against him. The royalists today showed themselves wiser than when tney opposed M. Casimir- Perier’s candidature. They had no candi- date. By the death of the Count of Paris they for the moment were left without a head, for tke youth of the Duke of Or- leans prevents him from seriously playing this role, and thcse who were obedient supporters of his father, and who will per- haps one day be his own, today follow the behests of only their own consciences. Yet Casimir-Perier formerly resigned his seat in order not to vote for the exile of the princes. M. Faure, for his part, voted against the exile. . Burdeau, he comes from the peo- successes have been due to his hard work, probity and ability. His ac- cession is an unhoped-for dream. He will fulfill bis functions with great gratitude to those wh? elected him. He will suffer attacks and insults as a set-off to the honor of his post. He will scrupulously ecnform to the will of the chamber, with- cut personal repugnance and without eny ambition of widening his sphere of influ- ence. He is likely to be a second Carnot, but more gracious, smiling and attractive. In an editorial the Times says: “France and Europe have been preserved from the gravest dangers arising from M. Casimir- Perier’s sudden desertion of his post. M. Faure has two things in his favor. The royalists who opposed Casimir-Pecrier have awakened to a truer conception of their duty. The conduct of the Duke of Or- leans affords an agreeable contrast to that of the Count of Paris, and affords the hope that even the reactionaries have been at last -frightened by the progress of the common enemies of civilization. The second point is the enthusiastic re- ception the Parisians have given the new president, showing that they appreciate his self-sacrifice.” In_an editorial the Standard says that M. Faure represents nothing but the im- potence of moderate republicanism. The rabid rage of the socialists in the assem- bly shows how determined they are to force the country along the path of revo- SPECIAL NOTICES.

DOVER, England, January 18.—The Duke of Orleans and his suite left Dover for Lon- don today. M. De Bonival, the secretary of the duke, in conversation with a represent- ative of the Associated Press today, said that the Duke of Orleans was not willing to make any statement other than that contained in his manifesto. Referring to an alleged interview with the Duke of Orleans, which was printed in England yesterday, M. De Bonival said that the duke had not conversed with any re- porter and that the interview was a pure fabrication. LONDON, January 18.—A dispatch to the Telegraph from Paris says that the royal- ists are especially active at Bordeaux. They have posted up portraits of the Duke cz Orleans on the walls and have distributed from house to house pictures of the late Count of Paris and his son and biographi- cal notices of the latter. The words “Vi le Duc D’Orleans, vive le Roi De la France, were also chalked up in many places. Prince Victor Napoleon is keenly watching events from his residence in Brussels. The duke’s manifesto appeared on the streets of Paris last evening. In it the duke declares that at best the republic in France can be only provisional, and that he stands ready to step in and help the people the moment they call him. ‘The let- ter was generally ridiculed. The poli seized shortly before midnight a special edition of the Soliel which contained the letter. The effort was superfluous, as no- body was buying the paper and the boule- vards were as calm as.the rest of the city. GERMANY’S ESTIMATE OF FAURE. Doubt of His Ability to Endure Long. BERLIN, January 18.—The National Zei- tung says that M. Faure was only elected with the help of a majority of the senate, which was the fate of M. Casimir-Perier, whose political leaning is identical with that of M. Faure. The paper does not pre- dict greater permanence for the new pres- idency. The Vossische Zeitung says that M. Faure has hitherto been unknown abroad as a politician, but is regarded as being above reproach. It adds that he is a very ener- getic and earnest worker. The Tageblatt says it expects that M. Faure’s policy will be a pacific one. The question is how long he will be able to withstand radicalism and socialism. —$!__—_ PEN PICTURE OF FAURB. Serious but Not Dall, Firm but Con- elliatory. LONDON, January 18.—A Paris dispatch to the Daily News says: President Faure is a moderate; but, unlike Casimir-Perier or Waldeck-Rousseau, he will have no preju- dice against calling radicals to oftice when- ever they have a majority. M. Waldeck- Rousseau would have dissolved the cham- ber. This accounts for his defeat. M. Faure, on the contrary, will try to egree with the chamber. In many respects he will be a president like Carnot—that is to say, without angles. He is a fast friend of ex-Minister Siegfried, who takes a deep interest in the Young Men's Christian As- sociation. I dwell upon this fact, keeping in mind the proverb that “a an 1s known by the company he keep: This friendship speaks volumes of praise for the new president. M. Siegfried show- ed as much joy over the election as though M. Faure was a beloved son. M. Faure’s Protestantism is not narrow, since his daughter married a Catholic, but he him- self never embraced Catholicism, There- fore he is the first Protestant ruler that France has ever kad, for Henry IV mount- ed the throne after recanting at Notre Dame. M. Faure is an able speaker, of southern fluency and imagination, with the hard head and practical sense of the Nor- man. Like Carnot, his opinions are rather neutral, but in fast hues. He has a grav- ity that is the opposite of dullness, and he is so free from conceit that he can agree almost with any one. His presence is finer than that of any other president. His figure fs tall and well-knit, but it is that of a man in whom the nervous system pre- dominates over the muscular. ‘There is the seriousness of the Arab- Semite in the well-set eyes, though I fancy he can have no Semitic blood unless through the Saracens who overran the scuth of France and settled for some time at Nimes. His features are finely shaped. When a smile lights up his pensive coun- tenance it makes it charming. He has the name of being an obliging and kind and conscientious master. His character is too harmoniously developed for streaks of dis- honesty to invade it. His black eyebrows and mustache contrast with his snowy, clese-cut hair. He has the look of Clem- enceau in his eyes, forehead and the shape cf his head, which is round and well de- veloped. M. Faure has had his eye a good deal on China since she and Japan went to war. He looks forward to startling develop- ments in far eastern affairs. He is not one of the jingoes, but the reforming spirit he showed at the marine ministry and his great activity there have endeared him to alt there. He has been too hard and serious a worker at his own business and in public aftairs to be mixed up in the financial af- fairs that have been detrimental to the re- public. — DEATH LIST GROW Already Fifty-Three Victims of the Butte Disaster. BUTTE, Mont., January 18.—Hour after hour the giant powder disaster has been putting on more distressing proportions. The list of the known dead has swelled to fifty-three, and there are at least four in the hospitals who cannot recover. These are John Sloan, Charles Ashton, William Miles and William Bow. Others are also believed to be fatally injured. To the st of missing the name of Chas. Hoffbauer was today added. A few hours before the explosion he was up town and purchased a pair of shoes, and on his way home he stopped at the fire. One shoe, badly torn, of the new ones he had under his arm has been found a mile from the scene of the catastrophe, but not a frag- ment of his body has been found. ‘There is no doubt that many others were blown to atoms who will never be heard of. Among the debris was found a number of letters addressed to William Moffatt, 453 Fremont street, Boston. The letters were from Canada and signed Ambrose Allen. It 1s supposed he is among the victims. Every hour also brings additional reports of the injured. Fully one hundred have been heard from, many of them being in a serious condition. The flashes and con- cussion of the explosion was severely felt at Belgrade on the side of the mountain rang9 and seventy-five miles from Butte. It is estimated by mining men, who are familar with explosives, tht there were at least twenty tons of powder in the house. The law limits the storage of pow- der within a mile of the city limits at 150 pounds. The penalty for its violation, how- ever, is only a nominal fine. The work of relief has made excellent progress today. Nearly $12,000 were sub- scribed, the Northern Pacifle Company and the several mining concerns contributing $1,000 each. The committee visited nearly all the families of the victims and found many of them in most distressing condi- tions. ————— A CATTLE PROUIBITION. Hamburg Will Not Admit Those Which Come From Great Britain. United States Consul Robertson, at Ham- burg, has informed the Secretary of State that by a decree of the Hamburg senate, passed December 21, the entry into this port of all ruminating ani!mals and swine from Great Britain and Ireland has been for the present prohibited. The ground given in the decree Is the outbreak of the mouth and foot disease In different places in England. The consul says that such animals will still be admjtted which shall be prove: te have left Great Britain or Irelend up to and including the 24th ulti- mo, but they will be sla tered ‘mmedi- ately after their arrival. regular legal penalties of fine and confiscation will fol- low any violation of the prohibition. Inas- much as a large proportion of the Amert- can cattle entering Germany go through England, this will be another severe blow at our cattle interests and our trade with continental Europe. MANY, MANY POUNDS The Star's Party Today Was a Great ‘Success. THE POUNDS HAVE: GROWN INTO TONS A Busy Scene at the Headquarters in The Star, Building. ALL FOR THE POOR “Pounds Recelved Here for The Evening Star Pound Party. Every Pound Goes to Help the Poor. This is the Day.” This is a copy of the legend pasted at the entrance to a room in The Star building. 1t was an ordinary-looking sign, but it meant busi- ness. The large room was thronged with people, and through this. throng, men and wemen and children wormed their way. They entered with their arms embracing packages and bundles, some big, some little, some tidily wrapped and others loosely put together. The newcomers deposited their burdens, looked on at the queer, crowded, shifting, hustling scene for a moment and then worked their way out. Long improvised tables swayed and creaked and threatened to break under loads of everything which people eat. Mammoth boxes labeled “coffee,” “sugar,” A Load of Bread. etc., helped blcckadoe the room, while bar- rels and crates, and stacks of sacks of flour, with glistening sides of bacon, fragrant hams and, rosy meats incumbered the space. When a helping hand was reeded everybody within reaching distance lent ene. Around the curb vehicles backed, wheeled, turned and twisted and_ porters staggered under the weight of the sood things they bore. Pounds Come From All Directions. From all directions the people came, bear- ing the tokens of their love to lay upon the altar of charity. They came singly, in pairs and crowds. OM men and old women struggled on with their packages and bundles. Little childten hugging a tiny parcel, but, nevertheless, as much as they could carry, toddled.on, some alone, others clinging to the hand of thelr mamma or their nurse. All this sthr, all this unwoated arimation was what? The Star's pound All Sorts. party for the poor of Washington. Tons of food have been received and hundreds of pounds of perishable goods have already been judiciously dispensed. At 10 o'clock the pressure on the capacity of the pound house had become so great that 500 loaves of bread and many pounds of meat and several barrels of vegetables were sent to Central Union Mission, thence to be Gis- tributed to investigated cases worthy of charity. Many unusual scenes were enacted. Fido’s Offering. A lady, dressed as the fashion plates de- cree, was among the visitors. Her com- panion was a little silver-collared terrier. In his mouth he carried a package. It was neatly tied with ribbon and was in- tended for the sick. “Give the gentleman your pound, Fido,” commanded the pretty lady, and the little doggy shied alongside of the big man who was receiving the do- nations, looked up into the man’s face and carefully placed the bundle at his feet. A Loaded Landau. One of the carriages which rolled to the curb was loaded down, as a tar would say, to Plimpsoll’s line. On the front seat were the driver and a young lady. Their feet were wedged in with sacks of flour and coffee so tightly that they could not move Bringing His Pound. without outside assistance. Inside was an elderly lady. She was imprisoned. She was seated on a pyramid of canned goods and flour, and her feet were pinioned down by similar goods. Mr. Charlie Birth came down with ham- per baskets of pounds from the employes of the Metzerott Music Company. Lieut. Amiss sent a whole hog, with an apple \ Piling Up. bleoming in his mouth. The National Fen- eibles sent down two English money pounds, close to $10, The employes of Weodward & Lothrop sent two and one- half pounds of pennies—{s.9¥, and the clerks in the office of the seccnd assistant postmaster general chipped in $27. Many cash contributions began to flow in by noon. Superintendent Lane sent word that a load of pounds was waiting for the poor at the Central High Sckool, and a wagon was dispatched. A similar notico came from the bureau of engraving and print- ing. The dray of Jas. L. Barbour rolled up with a full load of salt, four, meal and meats. The representatives of the Central Union Mission who were on the ground all day were Messrs. Redding, McKnight and Burk. Notes of the Day. Standing out in strong contrast to the heavy wagons and drays was a toy wagon of liberal size, drawn by a very small boy, Master George H. Kennedy, filled to its full with pounds. Early in the day the employes of Schnel- der’s bakery sent four hundred loaves of good bread. This made a big display, as it Receiving Donations. was ‘piled high in an open wagon. The bread was at once sent to the Central Union Mission. Five barrels of flour rolled in from the employes in the bureau of supplies and accounts of the Navy Department. A number of calls were made during the day by indigent people. Two of the earliest callers in this line were poorly clothed white women, aged and respectable. They came with empty baskets, and they were properly referred, so that their needs might be inquired into and satisfied if found to be worthy. From the employes of Galt Bros., Jewel- ers, came a jewelry bag containing a pound of silver dollars. During the day a representative of the Union Mission came to The Star head- quarters and spoke of actual cases of families suffering for food. An ice com- pany loaned a wagon for his use, which was soon filled with the more perishable articles of food that had been sent in, and the immediate needs of the families pro- vided for. = —_—_—_. DISTRICT GUVERNMENT. Pavement Sinking. R. L. Dutton of 918 F street northwest writes to the Commissioners again tcday calling attention to the condition of the sidewalk on the north side of French street near the corner of 9th street northwest. He says the pavement is sinking every day; water is standing in the cavity, and it is dargerous to life and limb. The matter has been referred to the engineer depart- ment. Asks a Question. Charles C. Duncanson of the firm of Duncanson Brothers writes to the Commis- sioners today inquiring if he shall be vio- lating the police regulations by using the alley in the rear of his residence to take ut ashes, garbage, etc., and take in coal, marketing, etc., to his dwelling; that is, in the use of said alley to commence the re- meving as soon as articles are deposited. He says that the alleys were originafly in- tended for the use of the houses abutting thereon, and given accordingly. A Little Sign. A. T. Lewis of 435 7th street northwest, in a letter to the Commissioners today, rays that he has been ordered by the police to remove a small wooden sign, 2 by 8 feet, securely hung by iron rods to the fron awning frame over the middle of the side- walk, more than eight feet in the clear of the pavement. He says the sign was crect- ed in accordance with the building regula- tions in 183, and asks, “Is the order of the Commissioners retroactive, and does it require the removal of such a sign?” Want a Sewer. Edward J. Hannan, president, and Frank N. Devereux, secretary, of the District Real Estate Improvement Association, in a letter to the Commissioners today, have requested that a 15-inch sewer be laid on 13th street southeast between Pennsyl- yania and Georgia avenues, and that the same be placed on this year’s schedule. ‘They make this request in view of the con- templated improvements which this section is to receive. Fire Limits. B. H. Warner called upon the Commis- sioners yesterday to urge upon them the necessity of the extension of the fire lim- ite near Sherman avenue. He has recom- mended that the Commissioners introduce @ bill to that effect. Asks Consideration. J. P. Clarke of 1429 F street northwest; in a communication to the Commigsiuners, requests that in behalf of the Washington and Great Falls Electric Railway Company that this road be included in Senate bill 2545, to amend the charters of certain street railroad companies in the District of Columbia, which has been referred to the Commissioners for examination and re- port. He says that although this road is not yet built, arrangements are progressing by which it will be constructed as_ re- quired by the act of incorporation, As it will occupy but a few hundred feet of the suburban streets, and, being a suburban road, the directors ask for the sume favor toward it as the Commissioners deem ad- visable to recommend toward other sub- urban roads. Anti-Saloon Protest. The Anti-saloon League has entered a protest with the Commissioners against their accepting the decision of the court in the Press Club liquor test case. Garbage Scow. The Commissioners have notified the garbage contractors that there was a quantity of garbage on the wharf at the foot of 26th and G streets, and that a scow loaded with garbage was sunk right op- posite the wharf. They say that unless the work of removal of this garbage and raising the scow is begun by 9 o'clock to- morrow morning, the work will be done by the Commissioners and charged against the contractors. Question Answered. In reply to a question from Henry King of 8f2 7th street northwest the Commis- sioners have notified him that it was con- trary to law to leave a show case out day and night on the sidewalk, but such case might remain within four feet of the building line while the store is oven for business. A sign, they say, which extends more than four and a half feet from the building line is forbidden by the build- ing regulations and the law. ee Good Templars.

Drew, a white man, testified that he asked the girl to marry him, and she consenting, he engaged two rooms at 441 N street. They went to live at the rooms on a Friday, it being agreed | that the marriage should take place the following Sunday. In a trunk he placed $100, and, missing it, he accused his fianece of robbing him. Two colored women testified that Jennie had remarked that she had so much money that she was crazy, and that she intended kicking the old man out of the place. The wedding, of course, did not take place. In her defense, Jennic denied making the re- marks, and also denied having stolen the money, explaining that she would have married the old fellow. But $2 were found on her, and the jury returned a verdict cf not guilty. . —_ >. Samuel Johnson, colored, {s spending four months in jail for assaulting Thomas Reed. INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS.
