FRANCE AND CHINA. THELPOSITION OF BOTH NATIONS. Paris, November 28, —Minister Ferry and General Campenon, mintster of war, and Admiral Peyson, minister of marine, attended the meeting to-day of the com- mittee of deputies on Tonquin credits. Ferry imparted to the committee the text of the Chinese memorandum. The committee unanimously approved the French reply and decided it unnecessary to bring the matter before the chamber of deputies prior to tke debate on the Tonquin credits, becaise, first, there ex- isted no diplomatic rupture; second, the government bhad prcmised the yellow book should contain the memorandum re‘}ly. 'he Chinese memorandum stated that France had imposed upon the govern- ment of Annam an unjust treaty, and had 1gnored the rights of China. Krauce invaded Annam and manifested an inten- tion to attack Bacninh, the key to the Chinese empire, China desired, never theless, to maintain pacifie relations with Franée, but Chinese troops would be comprlled to resist any aggression. The French reply declared that France had no wish to annex Annam or Ton- quin; that the sole object of the Hue treaty was to define the terms of the tronty of 1874; that in orderto consoli- dato the protectorate of Tonquin France considered it expedient to occupy Bacninh and |Sontag, but there was nothing to prevent an equitable arrangement of the Aquestion on these basis, from which France had never swerved and which were indicated in the treaty of 1874 Forry explained he had addressed a note to Marquis Tzeng, ambassador for China, in which he made the suggestion that special power be entrusted the mili- tary chiefs for the purpose of effecting an understanding by which China should surrender Bacninh and Sontag peacefully 0 Admiral Courbet, and that the defimi- tive settlement could be negotiated after- wards. The above note brought one from Marquis Tzeng, drawing attention to the fact that French troops were at present in Tonquin, but without defining their locality. Marquis Tzeng afterwards declined the proposal of Ferry, but the latter be- lieves the embassador acted without - awaitirg instructions from Pekin. Gen. Campenon stated that measures had been taken to dispatch 6,000 troops forthwith to Tonquin without recourse even to their partial mobilization, Admiral Peyson informed the committee that he had received no freshdispatches from Ad- miral Courbet, whose operations had bo- gun or were about to commence at the date of his last dispatch, November 17, when the announcment he had com- ploted the concentration of lus forces for an attack on Bacninh. He believed Admiral Courbet awaited the arrival of the transport Correze, bearing 600 troops. Sho is due in Ton- quin to day. Adwmiral Courbet has been given full ‘latitude to act in Tonquin and he (Admiral Peyson) had every confi- dence in his prudence and energy. The committee met again this after- noon and it is beheved the report of the committee will recommend to the depu- ties that they grant the nine -million francs asked be voted, "The government has declared it would awa.t the reception of further news from before askinz for any more fynds for Tonquin. The campaign committeo elected Ramon Renault as its reporter. The vote in the ¢ommittec granting the credits was 9 to 2, in favor, In the chamber of deputies, Clemen- ceau, on behalf of the extreme left, re- quested Ferry to furnish an explanation concerning the Chinese memorandum, relative to the proposed attack on Bac- ninh. Ferry declined to reply. Clem- enceau will repeat the question to-mor- row, and if an answer is not then given he will bring the matter forward in the shape of an interpellation, 1t is stated that Ferry requested the committee upon Tonquin credits to postpone, for three days, presentation o} their report to the deputies. 1t is stated if General Millo! is sent to Tonquin he will godirect to the passes, by which the Chinese troops entered Tonquin, in order to cut their base and prevent the enemy from retreating.

A Tabular Showing of the Division- The Most Popular Card for 1884, Purtapeueura, Novembor 20, —The Philadelphia Press toamorrow will con- tain a lottor from Hon. Jus. G.

The first is the utter uncertainty of the size of the redundant revenue. It may bo a million or one huudred ‘millions, and unless steady, no state tax could be remitted on account of the re- ceipt of this aid, while sporadic fedoral contributions to states would be wasted as was the last distribution of the federal surplus; second, the division of this sur- plus would impose on senators and rep. resentatives a divided duty, for the sake of their states they would ~wish the sur- Warsrsura, Conn., November 28.— |4 & b Publio indignation ngainst Truman Ju|d¢fniteperiod Smith, a Watertown farmner, who assault- An Ohio Town Destroyed. ed his wife, breaking her leg, because the 24 PaminllO] NG omberIo5/EA fire children were all girls, culmmated last ; ; 2 R isi % tarted in the business portion of the town o a v > house by ty | ® L vight in o visit to the house by twenty | %" i, ok and is supposed to be of young men with the intent to tar and |} TR N " Fthir.

The warehouse, which, was four stories high, was filled with cotton bales oneach floor.

The time is rapidly approaching, how- ever, when the national ravenue yielding under the present system of taxation $100,000,000 beyond t's amount re- quired for government ex jenses must be reduced. A strong move 1ent is already on foot for the repeal of the entire system of internal revent « which reciov- o3 the support of protactionists like Judge Kelly and free tradems like Cox of Now York. This conjunction of oppos- ing views in support of the abolition of the same tax gives a Tma opportunity to relieve taxation in 8fités of all our taxer. State taxation is the most op- pressive. It is direct. Is falls on pro- perty with crushiog forse. In a few communities it 18 less than one per cent and in_ most it s over 2 per cent. Why, therefore, should not the states be permitted to have the tax on spirits for their own benefit if the national go- ernment does not need it? Can it be wi » to continue direct taxation on prope:‘y and at t! same time onmmnns o b rtful lux like spirits togo fi-}u—u taxation oppresses no one’ revenuos . the natiz™, ment monopolizes. thery to both state and national urs in taxation, but in practice national authority alone can levy excise tax on whisky. No state can guard its borders against whisky from other states or make economical collection of such tax within its own revenuo, The federal machinery for collection of this revenue is in full operation and a bill of ten lines could direct tho secretary of the treasury to pay the whole of it, less the small oxpenso of collection, to the states and territories in proportion to their population and continue it perma- nently as a part of their regular annual revenue. Such a plan would give the revenue from such tex wholly to the states and would not depend upon chance surplus or accidental remainder in the national treasury. It would make the tax on spirituous and malt liquors & permanent resource to all cs, enabling them therehy to definitely readjust and reduce their own taxation, Each state could ‘most wisely use its share according to its own necessities, The total return of tax on spirituous and malt liquors last year was over $86,000,000, the amount of which would tend to increase rather than di- minish as cach state saw that the sup- pression of illicit distillers was to its disadvantage, With this revenue state taxation could be romitted, stato debts paid, or if aid were divided among the cities and counties, their expenses wonld be proportionately diminished. In the table annexed to tho lotter, Blame shows the share of large states on the basis of population to bo $8,803,000 for New York: $7,403,000 for Pennsyl- vania; $5,285,000 for Ohio, the smaller states receiving in proportion, o —— Inxury who The custo: CAPITAL NOTES, THE NEW NORTHWEST, W asHiNaToN, November £8.—The post- oftice departwment has advices that all mail matter going west over the North- ern Pacific 18 now distributed before reaching Portland, Secretary Folger dosignated Portland, Oregon, and Port Townsend ports to which imported § merchandise can be shipped in bond transit through the United States and from British posses- sion, e SPORTING NOT THE B ARD CHAMPIONSHIF, Pants, November 28.—In the billard- match to-night Vignaux made runs of 53, 119 aad 115, At the closo of the nights play Vignaux 770, Schaefer 543, Fach played 15 innings score for & nights, Vignaux 1800, Schaefer 1745, e — SerorvLs, cine that destroys the germs of il has the power to root it oav is appreciated by the af- flicted, Ths kable cures of men,wo- men and dildren as described by testi- wonials, prove Hood's Sarsaparilla a reli- able medeine containing remedial agents which erdicate Serofuls from the blood, 100 dose: $1.00, Sold by all dealers, C. 1, Hood& Co.

Ping Ridge. Excitement Among the Whites—A Prospective War Nippod In the Bud, Sioux City Journal, 28, From a gentleman just in from Pine Ridge agency a reporter obtained some interesting particulars of the visit of Crow Dog, the alayer of Spotted Tuil, to his old home. It will be remembered that Spotted Tail, the head chief of the Sioux nation, was shot dead by Crow Dogg about a year ago. The causo of the killing is not clear. Romantic corres- pondents endeavored to show that it came from a quarrel about & woman that the great chief had taken Crow Dog's wife. Another account gives the cause as an old fued dating back to the time ot the Sioux wara with the whites. Whatever the cause, the fact remains that Spotted Tail was shot very dead by Crow Dog. Each had his friends, and for a time it looked as though there would be war butween the two parties. The upshot of the matter was that Crow Dog was taken to Deadwood and lodged in Jail. There he was tried and convict- od of murder, the sentence suspended, and now there is a probability that after a great many weary moons, he will bo lot go. During the past few months, his Jailor has allowed him the freedom of the Town, for he was sutfering frem an old arrow wound, that is likely to bring death soon, and his hea th was too poor to allow close confinement. One evening last October Crow Dog did not return te the jail as usual, There was a hunt by the Sheriff's officers, and by the military from Fort Meade, but he could not be found, Cibw Dog had started for his old home at Pine Ridge agency. By good luck, after being out e Doairood thirse days, he struck n party of Sioux hunters from his own agency. He relurned in their company to his family. On arriving he made no effort to conceal himself, though the rela- tives and partisans of Spotted Tail had sworn to kill him on sight. He had not long to live, anyway, he said, for the old arrow wound was killing him, and he only wanted to die among hisswn people When about the agency his hand was never off his pintu%, but otherwise he manifested no uneasin Sume time after his arrival a man came from Deadwood, who gave out that he was a federal marshal, but who is be- ipved to have been only a deputy gheriff at to take back the prisoner. n his fever heat and the white's felt that Crow Dog's presence was a continual threat to peace. There was a great deal of alarm among the agency employes, as well as among the more peaceable of the Sioux., It was known that several friends of the dead chief were hunting for Crow Dog, and that the least demon- stration against him would be the signal for a gencral fight between the two fac- tions, Tho friends of Spotted Tail were in the minority, but this was not suflicient to keop them quiet. Tho peaceable outcome of the compli- cation is largely to the courage and cuol- ness of James (. Wright, agent at Pine Ridgo. Crow Dog said he would not go back to Dendwood. Ho was piepared to die where he was. The agent sent Hol- low Horn Bear, the captain of the Indian police, and a relative of Crow Dog, Crow Dog said to him briefly: *‘Ivis all right now; you como to me without arms. Had you como armed, either you or would die.” But, through friends of Crow Dog, the agent tinally prevailed on him to go back quietly, and he left for Deadwood a little more than a wesk ago, and has probably arrived there before this time. Itis not bel'eved that he will be further punished for the killing of Spotted Tail. He has been tried for that by members of his tribo and ac- quitted, and a second conviction at Dead- waod can searcoly be secured now. The Child's Hospital Bazaar, The ladics who are interested in the Child’s Hospital and Home, on Dodge streot, are making arrangements for the grandest and finest bazaar ever held in this city. Itis to open on Wednesday, Dec. 3, and remain open during the whole of that week. The collections of fancy work and toys and cenfections and various articles of use and beauty are be- yond all description, They have been sont hero for tho purposes of the bazaar from New York and Philadelphia and Brooklyn and other eastern cities, and as they are all donations they can bo dis- posed of at very reasonable prices. One of the cardinal principles of this bazaar is “‘that everybody shall get more than the worth of their money." Persons who are seeking for Christmas presents of the nicest sort, at the lowest rice, ought to be sure to visit this bazaar, 1t is impossible that they should not be suited in the large and varied as- assortment of beautiful and useful ar- ticles. —— Ofiicial Vote of Pennsylvania, Philadelphis Tanes.
