ROUVIER'S POLITICAL DODGE, Instructing Treasury Officials How to Work the Hleotion. AMERICAN PERSONALS, Finance Minister of France Osntrasted With Sadi Car not—The Puallman Family Calais' New Port. EOME Ohe Present The Duty of OMceholders. [ Copyright 1559 by James Gordon Bennat.) Panis, Juno 2. —[New York Herald Cable ~8pecial to Tne Bre.|—M. Rouvier has nddressed to the ofiicials of the finance de partment a circuiar that has been the cause of several controversies in the press. Tl minister reminded his subordinates that they must not be satisfied with the mere perform- nnce of their professional duties, but they are bound above and beyond that to use their §nfluence in the cause of the government, and assist the prefects by every means in their power, These instructions evidently meant that, @uring the coming electorial campaign, treas- urers, general tax collootors, and other oftl- cials of the finance department are expected to do their utmost to procure the return of pandidates favored by the government. However rare may be the elections in which a certain amount of pressure has not ‘been exercised upon the voters by the admin- fstration, the spectacle of & minister publiciy giving instructions of such a formal chara tor to his subordinates and particu- larly to those whose functions are for- eign to politics is, to say the least, unusual. The government of the “Sixth of May" furnished an avalogous instance of pcanaal in 1ts attempt to capture the whole repnblican party, by urging the state officials o throw themselves, heart and soul, Into the electorial struggle; Marshal MacMahon even issued a proclamation calculated to en- eowrage the timid among them by guarantee- fng that whatever might be the result of the #lection they would be safe from the ven- geance of their political oppouents. ‘These efforts were uscless to prevent the re-ele tlon of 343 republicans, Marshal Mac Mahon ‘was fain to resign shortly afterwards, and the functionaries who had stood 1n with him were rigorously weededout of government offices. It 18 probable that the Intervention of the pivil service department at the forthcoming election would not meet with any bettr suc- cess, and in any case it s to be expected that #ts members will endeavor o not expose themselves to a similar danger. The opposition has already darkly hinted of what may happen in case they obtain a tnajority in October next. The system of ofticial candidatnres is so opposed to the spirit of the liberal constitution that what was not practicable under every former government wvas practicable under the empire, and even worked successfully, for civil servants were then able to act as electorial agents without the risk of being assured of protection against the consequences of their fction by the government. Now the case is wery different. The contest lies between the diverse republican parties, and the opposi- tion of to-day may become the government of to-morrow. Government officials, conse- quently, fight shy of the risk of compro- mising their career by rasbly taking sides in the electorial lsts. Le Soliel contrasts Rouvier's circular with that issued by Sadi Carnot, in August 1885, when he was minister of finance. Carnot’s express advice 10 the ofticials of the department was to the effect that they should stand completely aside from electorial contest, and should not, by their attitude, give any reason to suppose that the government offictals ratronized any one candidate more than anotner. That, in @ word, they should observe strict neutrality. fThese instrucuions were diamotrically op- posed to these now given by Rouvier, and it is dificult to see how the officials of the fimance department will be able to satisfy both the president of the republic and his ministry. Mrs. John A. Logan is now on ker way ‘back to Amorica. Since last October she has ‘been traveling through Germany, Austrla, Jtaly and France, accompanicd by Miss Florence Pullman and Miss Harriet Pull- man, daughters of Mr. George M. Pullman, head of the Pullman Palace Car company. Mr. and Mrs. Pullman, after a stay of five days this side of the Atlantic, sailed for America last Wednesday, taking their youngest daugter with them. The elder, Miss Florence, will return with Mrs. Logun three or four weeks hence. ‘Tho povulation of Calais must be doubled for the fotes. To-morrow’s celebration com- mences with President Carnot’s arrival, at 9'in the morning and goes without intermis- sion far into the night. If the weather re- mains as perfect as it has been to-day, but only just a shade less scorching, nothing would be wanting to meke the opening of Calais port one of the events of the seuson. o ey Crops in Dawes County. CRADRON, Neb., June ecial to Tur Ben.|—All crops in northwest Nebraska are looking grand, and the prospects are better than ever beforo for an abundant yield. It has rained twice ® week for the last four weeks and the weather has been warm., The acre- Bge is at least four times as much as has n sown before, and the farmers have gone extensively into wheat raising. The experience of the iast two years bas devel- oped the fact that northwest Nebraska will ralse wheat of us good quality as Dakota, and the yicld last year was beyoud the ex tatious of the most sanguine. Mills have erected at all the prowinent towns, und this opens up a ready market for all and lib- eral prices must follow, e RAT PIE FOR EPICURES. It Is a Dainty Dish and Habitually Baten By the Chinese, Not only 1s the rat fostidious in its choice of food, but it affords a dainty food itself, in connection with which fact I have had some amusing experi- ences, suys a writer 1n the Pall Mall Gazette. * Some years ago I mentioned fncidentally, in the course of a lecture, that the Chinese, who eat the rat habitually, und the Purisians, who did 80 under compulsion, suffered no veal bardship, as the flesh is not only nu- tritious, but really excellent and deli- cate food, far surpassing that of the rabbit. Being pressed by the audience for further explanations, [ told that I ke from practical experience, and that cold rat pie (of course. made from Yarn vats) was a delicacy worthy of any epicure’s table. Reports of the lecture—mostly exagh gerated—were pnblished in the leadin,s newspapers and copied into nearly every journal in the land. An ava- lanche of correspondence poured on me Bod | was greatly amused with the dif- forent views of the writers. A few had SummONea up courage o try the ex- poriment, aud were unanimous in th tpprnhfllo.. Many asked for detai n the manufacture of the pie, which would have taken up a whole cookery book if answered. Many more asked if 1 could send them a ready-made pie, so that they might judge for themselves. - e —— 2 Gedar Block Kindling g8 Fr sale cheap. Delivered free. i nugle & Co., telephone 869, J.

Pirrsnune, June 3—The usually quiet gtreets of Pittsburg on Sunday were to-day alive with excited people largely seeking news from the flood-destroyed Jdohnstown. In front of the newspaper bulletins the crowids were 80 dense us to almost entively suspend travel. The telograph offices were thronged with people trying in vain to re- ceive some word from friends or relations in the stricken city. Karly in the morning seven car loads of provisions left the union depot for Johnstown on a spe train. Many cars loaded with provisions, etc, are arriving from points west, north and south, and are being rapidly forwarded to the scene of the disaster. The coffin manufactories here are worked to their fullest capacity and coftins arc being shipped rapidly. This morning ten carioads were sent down, containing 2,200 cofins. They will be distrituted at various points along tho road where the dead have been collected. Reports are coming from a large number of towns throughout the western part of the state, eastern Ohio and West Virginia of citizens’ mnass meetings and do- nations in aid of the sufferers.

WASRINGTON, June 2.—A bright, warm sun shone pleasantly in a clear sky to-day, but along a good part of the principal busmess thoroughfare, Pennsylvania avenue, and in the adjacent streets to the southward, there was turbed, muday water that washed fivo and six feet deep in the sides of houses, fill- ing the cellars and basements, and causing great wnconvenience and considerable loss of vroperty. Hoats plied along the : Peunsylvania railroad ion and through the streets of south Washington all day. A carp two feet long was caught in the la- dies waiting room at the Baltimore & Po- tomac station and several others wero caught in the streets by bo; These fish came from the government fish pond, the waters of the Potomac g covered the pond and al- lowed them to escape. Along the river from the usually calm, peaceful Potomac was a wide roaring turbulent stream of dirty water rushing madly ouward and bearing on its swift moving surface all kinds of debris. The stream was nearly twice its normal width and flowea six {eet, and more, deep, through the strects along the river front, submerging the wharves and manufacturing establishments, and lapping the second stories of the mills, boat houses and fertilizing works in_Georgetown, Fur- ther down the stream it completely flooded the Potomac fiats, which the government bad raised at great expense, to the heighth of four and five feet, and inun- dated the abodes of the poor negro squatters who bad built their frame shanties along the river's edge. The rising of the water has eclipsed the high-water mark of 1877, ‘The loss will be enormous. In some places it is millions of dollars, but no reliablo fig- ures can be given until the water subsides und ullows property owners to examine their buildings. The city has been shut aff from communication with the vest and south for two days, and there will be a scarcity of milk and other supplies until the ronds are repaiwed sufficiently to allow railroad trains and wagons to enter the ci On Louisiana avenue, where the produce and commission houses are located, on Sat- urday night the water soon iuvaded the cen- ter of the market, ana late buyers were com- pelied Lo utilize boats to sccure their Sunday dinners.

The owners of these places worked hard to save their property and succceded to a considerable extent, but the waters gained on them so rupidly that they forced to desist before they had aecompiished all that they desired, At 3 o'clock the water began falling. This will continue, as the repovts received by the sigual ofice 3ay both the Shenandosli and Potomac were falling rapidly. President Harrison did not attend to-day but spent the time in commnunication with the people in the flood-stricken districts, with a view of granting ther such succor us lay in the power of the government.

DpELFRIA, June 2.—For tbe first time elglt bours coxmunication was had directly with Altoons this evening at the Pennsylvenia raflroad office in this city.

All'the passongers on these three traine are ortod to be well. Altoona sends a li passengers on the day oxpress from Chica which was caught in the {lood at Conemanh, who are known to be safe. Among them are William Henry Smith, geueral munager of the Associated Press, Chicago, and Mrs. Ella Garber. Up to 10 o'clogk to-night no names addi- tional to thoso previonsly sont huve been re- ceived here. The railroad ofticials state thoy nave information which leads them to bolieve not over seven of the pussengers on the trains tooded at Conomaugh, wera drowned. The first report, sent iast night pluced the number of dead at fifteen. The Pennsylvania road is in practically the same condition a8 yesterduy. An of- cial stated to-night that he did not believe they would _ bo able t0 run trains through _ from Har. risburg in lo anten days or two weeks. Many 7es were gone, and in many places the road bed is badly washed out. ~ In some localities, the trac whero not washed away, is covered with water to a dopth of five or six feet, In addition to this there are innumerablo small landslides and washouts all along theline. To put the road in the same condition it was in before the flood will bo the work of a year. Tho morely temporacy repairs will, as stated above, take tou days or two weeks, The Susquehanna Rising. Laxcaster, Pa, June 2.—The Susque- hanna at Columbia is still slowly rising. An enormous quantity of boom logs have gone down the river and are now gorged at Tur- key Hill below Columbia. At Marietta all of the front street is under wator, and the Pennsylvania railrond bridge at Chickics is under four feet of water. The latest advices are to the effect thata bigger flood and much higher water may be oxpected to-night. At Mount Caramel, Pa., the terrible floods will cause an indetinite suspension of the ten large mines in this valley, emvloying 6,000 hands. Nearly all the pumps are now under the water, which continues to pour into the mines. Twenty-Five Drowned. SuNuURo, Pa., June 2.—The city has been flooded all day. ' The water reached the top of the embankments carly this morning and at 7:30 broke in in the Fifth and Third wards. The entire population was up the whole mnight, moving to the second stories. The water reached the highest point at 8:30, which was within cight inches of the flood of 1865 At 12 o'clock it beran to recede. ~ All the bridges are down from hero to Williamsport. Three men came down from Williamsport in a boat, this afternoon, and reported the loss of twen- ty-five persons at that place, who were watching the bridge collapse. The loss here is very small. ——— A Bud State of Affaira. CARLISLE, Pa., June 2.—Later information received from the surrounding country shows a terrible state of affairs from tho floods. ‘The loss will be over $200,000.

He has propared a_circular letter of questions which he has had sent to about seven hundred shippers in the state, asking for their reply. Accompanying was in each case a stamped envelope directed to himself, 50 as to stimulate the correspond- . The uestions which ‘he desired an- swered are as follows: 1. How do the local freight rates, on the railroad patronized by you, compare with the rates i force two years agot 2. Are the present rates satisfactory to the shippers of your locality ! 3. If they are not satisfactory stato in what respect the present tariff is deemed deficient or unjust. 4. Has the passenger service in your iocal- ity deteriorated, and if so, to what extent! 5. Are you in favor of state control of rail- roads! 6. What railroad legislation, if any, would you recommend for the future? These questions have beeu sent to shippers only, so far. Whether the governor will pre- pare a set of questions to be sent to farme: asking how the changes made by the com missioners have affected what they buy and sell, 18 pot known. Butitis intimated that ', 80 a8 to make the result of his in- complete and thorough as pos. The governor has not stated his ob- st in sending out these questions, bub it is supposed that he desires to know the resuit of his efforts in securing lower rates, and de- sires information to lay before tne general assembly in his biennial address next winter, Although he does not intend to be a candi- date for re-election, and has positively stated that he would not accept auother term if it were oftered him, he very naturally wants to round out his present term with some definite statement of what has been accomplished n the special line to whici he has devoted himn- self. Some have thought that this investiga- tion presaged an extra session of the legisla- ture; but that is quite improbable, It will not be long before the legislature would meet in regular session, and there is nothing in the railroad situation to demand additional legislation. 'The recent order of Judge Brewer shows that the commissioners’ rates will be tested for some time yet, and after they bave been given a fair trial, 1f found to be unremunerative and unreasonably low, the court will interfere; but for the present there is nothing to be done, except to go whead and see how things will come out. The railroads are accepting the situation grace fully, and theshippers, including the jobbers and manufacturers, are, of course, havpy at the low rates they are receiving. About Rabie: DEes Moixes, la., June 2 —[Speeial to Tug Bee.]—The prevalence of hydrophobia in some parts of lowa has induced the state board of health to prepars a valuable circu lar on the subject for general reading.

The builetin notes three stages of the disease. Firat, the molancholy; second, the irritative, maniacal or furious; third, the paralytie. Intho first stage, the animal be- comes uneasy, sullen, restiess, constantly moves about, shows 1o disposition Lo bite, but is vousually affectionate.

The usual time at which the re- publican convention has been held—the last woeek in August—would this year int with the Grand Army encampment, at Mil- waukee, which meets at that time. A great many lowa rvepublicans are Grand Army men who expect to go to the encampment, and as they usually expect to visit along the way going and coming, the fow days just be- fore and just after tho encampment would also ba monopolizod, and therefore not suit- uble for the convantion. The convention this yeur star important campaign for Towa. It will have to nominate a governor, lieutenant-goveraor, judge of the supreme court and superintondent of public instr tion. There will have to bo elected this fall one-half of the state senate and ull of the lower house. The legislature, which nioets next January, will bave to elect a United States senator to succeed Senator Allison, whose term expires. Howover, that will ba an ensy watter, as no other man is consid- ered for the succession than the senator him- self. e The Itace for Governor. Drs Moises, Ta., June 2.--[Special Tele- gram to Tne Bre ‘The contest for gov- ernor is warming gradually, though it is not as spirited as it has been soma years. The {friends of Senator Hutchinson claim that he has been guiming ground in the last few weeks, while Captain Hill’s friends thinlk they have strength enough to nommate him already, and are gaimng cach day. Tho friends of Mr. Wheeler, the oandidato of northwestern fowa, are more noisy than the others, and say that if the convention were held to-morrow he would be nominated. [t is rumored that ex-Governor Sherman in- tends to be a candidate for governor. The rumor seems quite improbable, as it has been supposed that he had no desire to re-entei puolic life. (f true, his candidacy may affect the situation as regards others some- what. There will probably be no opposition to the nomination of Chief Justice Given for judge of the supreme conrt, and to the re- nomiunation of Superintendent Sabiy Tho latter has had but one term, und has done well in office. Judge Given was appointed to fill the balance of Judge Recd’s ubex- pired term, and will have served but a few months when the convention meets. Isut he is 80 admirably qualified for the omce, and has made so fine a record in the fow weoks ho has been there, and is so popular through- out the siate, und CaNS SO near to & Nomi- nation last summer, that he will undoubt- edly be nominated by acclamation to suc- ceed himself.
