FRENCH POLITICAL AFFAIRS. The Coming Sossion of the Cham- ber and Seonate. PRESIDENCY OF THE DEPUTIES. A Question That fs Being Discussed to the Exclusion of All Others —The Edinborg 1 national Exhibition, ore Coming Merting of* French Solons. [Copiright 1950 hy Jamzs Gordon Bennstt.) Pants, Nov. 3.~ New York Herald Cable —Special to Tne Bee,.|—The chamber and senate will resune thoir labors next week. The first matter of importancs which will demand the attention of the members of the farmer body is the selection of a prosident, This is now the principal topic of discussion in political cireles, and it is probablo that the question will shortly b diseussed and de- cided in a caucus of membors of the left,with whom there are two candidates, who anpear have equal chances of success—Floguet and Casinier Perier. Tho selection of either of them will have no little significance, us an indication of the tendency of the republican majority in the ehamber, for Perier is iden- tifled with the most moderate group of re- ans, while Floquet1s thd favorite of the radical wing of the party. The chances of the latter are perhaps the best, for the reason that there are symptoms of adoal botwoen the opportunists ana radi- cals by which the formor will vote for tho candidate of the latter on the express con- dition that they will act with the present cabinet. His election will mean an alliance between the opportunists and radicals and a continuation of the line of polioy followed by the present cabinet, This is all the harder to understand when we remember that the true meaning of the recent elections is that the country desires to return to a more moderated policy. If the opportunists open the session with such a concession to the radicals, 1t is probable that they will follow it with others, and the re- sult will be that they will remain in power, not to carry out their own ideas, but to be governed in the interests of. the radi- cals, They are allowing themselves to be deceived by an lilusionary and paradoxicat hope. They fancy that with tho support of Floquet, Clemenceau and the fol- lowers of these two gentlemen they will be avle to carry out a moderate policy, one of pacification and toleranco, but as soon as they make an attempt upon this line they will tind their inteutions thwarted by the radicals, who never tollow any other guide than their passion, notably in the matter of religious questions, The radicals will be sure not to yield one 1ota of their pretensions. The war cry of Gambetta, ‘“clericalism, viola le enemis,” is still the last word of their policy, and the opportnn- ists wiil soon tind that in this they will either have to follow the lead of the radicals or will have to getalong, not only without their support, but with their open hostility. If in the next chamber there is nota speedily formed majority compossd of the more moderate eloments of the various par- ties, and strong enough to shape legislation independeutly of the "support of the extremeists, no government will be able to exist except on tol- erance. Any cabinet that takes ofice will have to resign itself to gettwg along without a programme of its own, and the tenure of power will depond on tho siill in kecpiug an Englishman between moderate opinions and radical unpatience, Such a state of things is nothing more and nothing less than a continuation, pure and simple, of what took place in the last cham- ber, and at the end of four years the ro- public will find herself brought face to face with the same dangers from which she has Just almost miraculously escapsd, and over Which she may not perhaps again triumph 80 easily. HBoulangism has fallen from the proud po- sition of being ghe all-absorbing political toplc of the day. The newspapers treat it as ancient history. One of them has, however, judged that it would be of interest to know what Henri Rochefort, despite his faults, was one of the most sympathetic members of the Boulangist party, thinks of this episode in his career. Said Rochefort sadly : *'4 believe Boulangiam is very sick. The fault 18 with those who conducted the enter- prise. If we had been better organized and had committed less errors we should have ‘been quite successful.” B EDINBURGH'S KXHIBITION, A Chance for American Locomotive Builders to Compete. LCopyright 1859 by James Gordon Bennett.] Epi Nov. 8.—[New York Her- ald Cable vial to Tue Bee.]—The me- chanical section of the international exhibi- tion to be held i Edinburgh in 1500 will in- chude an especially fine display of railway material and appliances, including locomotive engines of the most modern design, Tho en- noering committeo of the exhibition, in wview of the great differencos of opinion re- garding the relative merits of British and American locomotives, especially those of the passenger type, have addressed an invi- tation to six or seven of e leading locomo- tive builders in tue United States to sead representative American passenger and froight cngines for the exhibition in con- junction with whose of British builders. They also indicate that efforts would be wade to arrange competitive trials of power, speed and economy between Brit- ish und American engines, and point out that special facilities for such competitions exist, siuce both the Caledonian and North Brivish ralway system will have direst ae- cess to the exhibition grounds and those raillways are in direct communication with the London & Northwestern and the Mid- lund & Great Northern railways in England, The fact that the exhibition grounds will be a0 communication with important lines of railways wall greatly facilitate the importa- tion of American machines, since they could be brought by ship to Glasgow, Liverpool, or even Loudon, and runqu L from the docks on @ railway to the place of exhi- biuon. e A Difforent Royal Grant.

The tongue of the car- riage containing the judge and four friends was snapped asander, The break was hastely repaired, but just as the vehicle reached the high bridge over the Mississippi the piece pulled apart and the horses ran away, ‘The earriage, thus misguided, plunged from side to side of the bridge roadway, momentarily threatening to send all 1nto eternity ‘over the low side railings, for the bridge spans a chasm of fully fifty feet. Ina fow lunges the wagon struck the bridge timbers and dashed itself to pieces. Judgo Holland, who was on the front seat, struck on his head and lay as one dead. He was taken to his hotel and re- mains unconscious. His wounds are all on the head. During the afternoon paralysis of one side ensued, indicating a rupture of the blood vessels in the brain. Judgo Holland is one of the most prominent politicians in Minnesota. room TO DUATH. e ey THE ARIZONA MASSACRE. Full Do tails of the Brutal Butchery of the Officer: FLoreNcE, Ariz, Nov. 8.—The details of the killing of officers by their prisoners ves: terday have been received. The sneriff had removed the shackles from the logs of six of the Indians before they started to walk up the grade, but they were handcuffed together by the wrists in sets of two, their outer hands being free, Snerift Reynolds was in front of the column and Deputy Holmes and the Mexican prisoner were in the rear of the columa. Atasignal from ono of the Indians the sheriff was seized by the two prisoners im- medately back of him, while the two Indians immediately in front of the deputy whoeled about and secured his gun, with which, after killing him, they shot tho_sheriff, who was being held by their companions. During the meles the Mexican prisoner ran forward to a stage which was about forty yurds io frout and warned the driver, The ter drew _ his _ pistol, but was shot twice by the Indians. After sccuring the keys to the shackles and remoying them the Indians mutilated tho body of Reynolds, crushing in his skull ina horrible manner. ~ Thoy then disappeared. ‘Tne driver, after recovering sufliciently, walked back to Riverside and gave the alarm. The Mexican prisoner, aftor ko had warned the driver (Middieton), ran toward the hills. He was fired at soveral times, but was not hurt. After the Indians had left he secured a horse, rode to Florence aud gave himself up. It is thought that as the sherift of Pinal county and his posse are nine hours behind the murderers, there is little prospect of the latter being captured. Troops have been ordered out from Anache, San Carlos, Fort McDowell and Lowell to intercept the mur- derers if possible. e S e IR HE AOTED ON HER ADVICE. Suicide of an Austrian Jew at a Boarding House in Hoboken, Jersey Ciry, N. J., Nov, 8.— |Special Tel- egram to Tue Bee. |—Mrs. Jennie Gutten- berg, of Brooklyn, 15 locked up in this city as a wiiness in tho case of Jacob (ilencklith, an Austrian Jew, who committed suicide at Hoboken last week. Glencklith arrived in about five weeks azo and hired aroom in & boarding house in Hoboken, Beforo he endel his life he sont a letter to the gNew York Staats Zeitung, in which he told of his coutemplated sui- cide and the reasons for it. From the letter it appears that when Glencklith arrived in the country he bad with bim $0,000. He had been in Hoboken only a few days when Mrs, Guttenburg and her hus- band, who were relatives, called on him, Ho told them of the amount of money he had, and they suggested tuat he had better not keep it around loose. After considerablo talk Glencklith handed the money over to Gnttenburg, who told him it would be given to bim any time he demanded it, Two weeks ago Glencklith, who had just returned vom @ pleasure trip through Cauada, went 10 the Louse of the Guttenburgs. Mrs. Gut- tonburg burst into tears when sho saw him and said that her husband had deseried her and had taken with hila the money left in his care. Gleacklith was greatly astonished und begun to act like a crazy man. Mrs, Gutten- burg advised him that as he was too proud either to work or beg the only thing left for him to do was to commit suicids He agreed with her, aud she suggested that he take poison, and she gave bim aquantity. Glenck- ith returned to his boarding house ana on Weduesday he took the poison. A Staits Zeitung reporter, who had been sept to the house to investizate the case, found Glenck- lith dead in bed.

TWO MINISTERS TO RESIGN. Loring Ta Tired of Portugal and Pal- mer Will Quit the Cnstles of Spain — The Dakota Dostitution. WasmiNarox Bunreav Tae Ovana Be 513 Fountees tit Wasnivarox, D. C., The publication of the annual report of the major of police of Washington has brought out comment upon the condition of tho negro n the District of Columbia whicn almost alarms some of the now white residents. The report shows that ten blacks for one white person apear in the police and crim- inal courts charged with crime; that the number of blacks received at station houso: scut to the work house or jail and theo peni- tentiary from the District of Columbia is in the same proportion to the number of whites sent to these places. The question is being discussed by the local newspapers whether incroase of the bluck population and the vonsequent increase of crimo is bocoming suficiently alarming to warrant either congressional or police action. Itis belioved that tho census of 1300 will show that tho District of Columbia has 250,000 population and that there is of this number 100,000 blacks. Senator Ingalls is quoted as having said rocently that the District of Columbia is a public reservation for civil, military and political purposes, sot apart by the people for the contral seat of goverment, and that congress and the president could order off, and remove by force, if necessary, at a day’s notice, every resident. The fact that there are better school privi- leges and church accommodations for thy negroes in Washinzton than in any other sec- tion of the country is pomnted out ia the face of the statement that the colored individuals are contiuually retrograding, and that whereas ten years ago but ten or twelye colored peranns were annually charzed with murder in tho flrst degres the number now averages over thirty and that the number charged with manslaughter and criminal assault is three or four times larger in proportion than during the past decade. After the colored boy or man is educated in Washington, it is said, he refuses to learn a trade or g0 to work upon farms or in gardens, but is con- tented to stand about tho streets blacking shoes, holdiug horses, carrying boxes, sell- ing newspapers, driving carts and doing other odd jobs. After this condition of af- fairs is pointed out and the question raised whether congress, in view of the situation, would not be warranted in takinz some kind of action in the matter, no remedy issug- gested, ‘Che trend of the agitation is simply to raise the race question. The old inhabitants are from the ancient families of Maryland and Virginia with all of the race prejudices beld by the bourbons, TWO MINISTERS TO KESIGN. Hon, George BB. Loring, minister to Portu- gal, will resign, to take effect about next March, He does not like Portugal, and wants to live in Washington. He was Presi- dent Arthur’'s commissiouer of agriculture, and was at oue time a member of congress from Massachusctts. Ex-Senator Palmer, of Michigan, will re- sign the ministry to Spain and return here next autumn. He said he promised his wife not to remain in Madrid over sixtezn or eighteen months, CASTS NO SHADOW BEFORE. Congress will assemble four weeks from to-morrow, At this time the closest observer fails to discover the least hint of the meeting. A weels hence, however, the situation will be materially changed. The candidates for speaker and other offices 1 the house will have begun to arrive and open quarters, and life 1n congressional circles will begin to grow interesting. At _present thore are not two dozen members of both houses of con- gressin the city. They are vearly all in their states attending to private business or stumping in the impending campaigns which close wo-morrow. Preparations for the meeting of congress are not complete at the capitol. The paint- ing is about finished, but the carpets are not all down, and the committee rooms, or many of them, are topsy turvy. A very few of the ewployes are on duty. A dozen of the fifty or sixty policemen lounge drearily around the broad corridors, tell stories, smoke, poke fun at verdant visitors and tallk of the ‘“tiffs" which are anticipated 1n the organization and the battles everybody expects over pro- posed legislation in the house, where the re- publican majority is swall and the minority contrary and stroug, None of the speakership candidates are hero to-day, but they are all expected within ten days. Messrs, McKinley, Reed and Burrows are hustling—tie first and last named on the stump in Ohio and Virginia, respvectively—with the gentleman from Maioe a*ound the states of New York and New England trying to make the delegations as nearly solid for him as possible. Two weeks from to-day the city will be full of people who have come to engage in the work of congress, and there will be such a sceno of buttonholing for yotes on the part of the candidates as never was witnessed before. It1s estimated that the number of department amylo,\vus who are out of tne city to vote at the elections on Tuesdiy is less than eight hundred, about one-half a8 many as went to their homes to vote in 1856, 'The extension and enforcement of civil service refcrm is believed to be the cause of the de- crease of intorest. DAKOTA DESTITUTION EXAGGERATED. Senator Moody, who will represent South Dakota with Senator Pettigrew in the upper branch of congress this winter, and who is feeling very fine to night over the admission of us country 1nto statehood, says that the reports of destitution among the settlers in any part of Dakota are exaggerated, and in many iwstances circulated for tue purpose of doing harm. He says that in the extremie northern part of North Dakota the drouth made crops short, aud that there is suffering among o comparatively few families, but that it does not extend to South Dakota. Speakiog of his owa state the senator said to-duy: *‘When we open the great Sioux reserva- tion to sottlers, and imwigration begins to pour in early next spring, the lower part of South Dakota will develop beyond all conception. I expect to see 100,000 people como i before the end of the year in the lower part of South Da- kota, especially along the Missour: river, We raise as good corn as lowa.

In it Mr. Blaine says the impropriety of Mizner's romarks was noticed by the department when the speech was received, and instructions were sent him September 10, exvressing sincere regrot at his words, and the fear that they would receive the erroneous (nterprotation which has been placed upon them by the Mexican govern- ment. He assures Mexico that the remarks of Mizner, which implied an oficious and a partial disposition on the part of that gov- ernment, were wholly unapthorized, the oc- casion of sincere regret, and are entirely dis- approved.

The Overshadowing Importance of Agriculture Demonstrated. A UNION OF SCIENCZ AND CERES. An Appsal For All the Aid For the rarmer (Consistenc With the Rights of Other Industries— Protection Praiscd. The Annual Agricultural Report. Wasiizeros, Nov. 8.—The annual report of the secretary of agriculture deals at length with certain plans for the thorough reorganization of the department and sy gests several new features in the intorost of the development of ugriculture. Tho re port calls attention to tho fact that tho first efforts toward reorganization were hampered because of the fact that the appropriations for the current fiscal year were made en tirely upon the basis of tue old organization, 10 account being taken of the entire change 1 the status of the government. The secretary anticipates a portion of his plan of reorganization in the estimates for the forthcoming fiscal year at £1,350,000. He '8 the aggregate sum asked for in his esti- mates must not bo measured by what is past, but by what a great agricultural country should do towards “‘sustaining, pro- tecting and promoting the calling which lies at tho foundation of its prosperity and power.” A striking contrast is drawn be- tween this amount and the appropriations for agriculture made in those countrics which the report says “‘are the most active competitors of American farmers in the world’s market.” A compurison shows that great Britain appropriates for agriculture $1,500,000, Germany §2,850,000, Brazil $20,000,000. For agriculture and mines, France $3,000,000 and Austria more than $4,000,000. The problem of getting the rosults of the work done by the department more promptly before the people has been solved by the establishment of a new division, which fur- mishes promptly to the agricultural and com- merciul press a synopsis ot the main points of every bulletin and report publishea. The division of statistics is dwelt upon at length, Of the crop reporting system he suys: Y'While only an approximate, it 1s in dan- ger of becoming discredited by the popular acceptance of its results as exact in precision an d absolute in authority, Itshould be re- membered they are not the conclusions of a thorough census. They are a consolidation of the local estimates of agriculiural experts and ure intended as a foil to interested, binsed and untruthful statements that specu- lators isrue to mislead their victims.” Of the rapid development of agriculture in the Rocky mountain districts he s “It will surprise the eastern states with new views of the wealth and progress of the groat American desert of the recent past,” Special suggestions in regard to this sion aro the extension of local statistis work and the enlargement of the corps of state staticstiians by the appointment of one in every state. A comprehensive plun for the agricultural surveys of the states and terri- tories is also suggested to be pusbed as fast as uvailable means will perwuit. The intention is expressed to adoot a method by which the relations existing be tween tho departmeut’and its numerous county correspondents can be utilized to se- cure a representation of the department at state aud county fairs. ‘The condition of the sugar industry is re- viewed in detail and the results declared are of & mixed character, in some cases yielding well and in other cases proving disappoint- ing. Special attention is to be given to the cevelopment of the varieties of sorghum containing a nigher proportion of available sugar. Important progress has already been made in this direction. Many localities in the United States, especlally in the north ana on the Pacific coast, are known to be especially suitable to the produetion of sugar beet rich in saccharine matter. The interest in this subject developed by the suc- cessful experiments in Californa will be met by the publication during the coming winter of a full report on the beet sugar industry in the United States.

In regard to textile fibers, the question now occupying the attention of the depart- ment is the utilizavion of flax, jute, rumie and other fibres. The report urees it as the duty of the government to assume more defin- ite supervision of such forest areas as are still owned by it and as oceupy a position of importance in tne regulation of the water flow and other climatic conditions, and em- phasizes the importance of the relations which forests beur to the problem of irriga- tion of arid lands and of their immenso an- nual product.

Kaxsas Crry, Nov. 3.—A scene of frontier excitement occurred 1n the streets of this city to-day. It lasted for five hours, and aur- ing that time a herd of stawpeded Texas steers lad possession of the thoroughfares in an area about two miles square. A number of peorsons were tossed on the horns of the infuriated beasts, and before the herd was corralled again eight of their number had been kiiled. At 8 o'clock this morning eight cowboys started with a drove of cattle from the stock- yards, bound for Clay county, across the Missouri river. 'The steers retused to cross tho bridge, and upon being urged, stam- peded, Then the excitement began. The herd had proceeded down Bluff street for two squares at a clattering pace, clearing all before it, when four of the cowboys, with frontier foresight, cut around the biock and headed it off. Before the cattle wero driven back and corralled at the river's banlk, eight of them had broker. away from the herd and started on a tour of the city. At Broadway and Bluff streets one of the cowbays succeeded in lussooing one of the animals, but could not control it. The steer started for the river. At a bluff avout twenty-five fect over the river the cowboy refused to go any further, but the pony and steer piunged over into the water below. Both swam ashore uninjured. In the meuntime the mounted police were called out. ‘I'wo of them chased one animal as far as Nineteenth and Harrison streets, This was in the fashionable residence portion of the city, and, oceurring just when church- goers thronged the streets, 1 great ex- citement. One pedestrian who was not quick enough 1n sceking a place of safety, was tossed by a steer, but was not seriousiy hurt, Finally a bullet from Sergea Veagh's revolver laid the fiery animal low and ended the chase. At Twelfth and Grand avenue a cowboy killed another of the steers with bis Win- chester. At Fifth and Bluff streets one of the unraly beasts butted a tramp into uncon- sciousness who nad sougnt the warmth of a brick yard there for @ morning nap, but did not injure him scriously. The steer fell among the debris of the yard and a pursuing cowhoy put & bullet 1 ‘s heart. At Six- teenth apd Walnut streets a ucgro barber thought he could stop another of the stain- peded steers by shaking his apron at bim, He was tossed in the air for his pains, At Fourth and Walnut anoth teer started up the cable track with his head down. It did not see an approaching car or did not propose to be stopped by it if 1t did see it, and butted the grip car full in the front. The shock killed the animal outright and staved in the car. At the corner of Ninth and Grand avenue a lady was knocked down by another of the beasts, but was not seri- ously hurt. Finally all the steers were killed or returned to their herd, THE ALLLGED EENDERS, 645,591 T enennodem| 13h 432,600,988 3 no clearing house at Nobody Found Able to Identify Them M panks. , Kan., Nov. 8.—A number of per- sons came here to-day to adentify two women prisoncrs, supposed to be old Mrs, Bender and her daughter Kate, The majority were from Parsons, the the vicinity of ‘the Benders' home.
