On the morning in question this fine looking young fellow, whose grandfather is the re- gentof Siam and who had himself made his mark at the gay capital for clegant dress and manners and lavish style of living, stood among the common saitors, mostly Chi and with arms bared, ser bbed with a will at the brasses the de He was working hi passage to Singapore as the steward’s as- sistant. Itisa sad story of afine position and still finer prospects, the result of years of patient labor all tumbled over and shrivelied away because this high spirited diplomat from Siam, being in Paris wanted to doas Parisians do—and he did it. About six months ago young Raputh--that isthe name he gave on the ship, his own being a kind of transformation of the same,was made a member of the worst gambling hell in Paris, Night after night his liveried coach- man used to wait outside while his swarthy exchanged bis coins for grim expe ie: At first eights and nines ran inh favor and his dark eyes flashed.

He got deep in debt, and when his government learned the truth, about a month ago, he relieved from his post and vecalled to Siam-—recalled in disgrace. This blow came like a thunder- bolt, and while it stunned him at first it finully brought him to his senses. Having made bis bed he declared to o friend hewould lie on it, however hard it proved, and be wired back to Siam his resignation, then selling all that he had—jewcls, furni- ture, pictures, even to his clothing—he suc- ceeded in paying all that he owed, but he had scarcely anything left in the world, enough to reach London @ I met him here by chance, no the doshing young swell I had known in Paris. “I haven'tu penny,” said he sor- rowfully, “no place'to lay my head, but,” drawing himself up proudly, “no man can ever say that I went away from Paris owing him a franc, No—I will not appeal to my friends, although I have plenty of them, What's the use!

One report is that the ministers approve of a still more radical scheme of reorgauizing the house on a basis akin to modern ideas of sen. atorial representation, In connection with this reform Herr Miquel and Herr Furth have prepared a bill which Pproposes the abolition of the signorial privil- eges still possessed by land owners in East and West Prussi Branden- burg, Pomerania, Posen, Siberia and Prussian Saxony, by whioh local elections are controlled and loeal governments held in the grip of these fendal superiors.

Herr Herrufath, minister of the intecior, has issued a circular adwising the local authorities to increase the police waten upon the socialists after the exviration of the anti-socialist law. This has produced the impression that the gov ment looks for an outbreak of disorders, Se: eral municipal councils have ignored the cir- cular and some have opeuly refused to admit the necessity for such measures. The ex- tremists among the socialists have gained ac- cessions of strength throvgh the partial ad- hesion of Herr Volmar. At their meetings in Berlin they cagerly discuss his proposal that the coming congress declare_that theo- logical ideas have no pluce in socialism, The moderates, on the other hand, conscious that a formal declaration against re will ulienate the popular sympathies, persist in excluding the question of religion from the programme of the congress, The Suxon government proposes to amend the law relating to associations so far as to preserve the restrictions on the socialists, A committee of American consuls, at a meeting here presided over by Consul Gen- eral Edwards, approved of the decisions of the Frankfort and Paris meetings in favor of an equal application of the provisions of the McKinley bill to all European countr The agricultural congress at Vienna adopted & resolution declaring that in view of the political tariffs of the United States and Russia 1t will be necessary to create customs leagues in central Europe.

Partly as a consequence of that he was ot even elected on a parliaentary committee— @ rebuff which would take the conceit out of most men, Moreover, he was continually re- buked by the chairman or by delegates for his overbearing conduet. Once he defied the meeting or anybody in 15 to put him out.

The facts are well known. Mr. George W. Childs of Philadelphia presented a very handsome drinking fountain to the town of Stratforilon-Avon in honor of the memory of Shakespeare, This ain was crected in the market place and some time afterwards Lord Sack- ville setup a claim for compensation, alleging that the fountain encroached upon his prop- y. The answer of the town authoritics is that the market place has always been pub- lic property and that the fountain does not interfere with private rights. Englishmen will no doubt be ashamed of this incident. Lord Sackville was disizissed by the Amer- ican government from kis post as British minister to Washington . in ¢ it must be admitted was @ yery it srer, Still he brought it on himself. Honow appears re- solved to take revenge on everything Ameri- can, Deginning with Mr. Childs’ arinking fountain, Let us hope the affair will teach Mr. Childs alesson.

In speaking in regard to the proper rate of duty to be placed on fish, Mr. Spooner gave it as his views that while tishermenon the east- ern coast were protected, it was not proper that the fisheries on the great lakes should be thrown open to free competition. If there was anything in theproposition of reciprocity the United States ought now to throw open its markets to Canadian fishermen. Mr. Gibson concurred in the view. It was well that when the question of reciprocity was treated with the United States should haveadvantage of a position which was us important in diplomacy as Mr. Cullom agreed in the maiu with Spooner, The Canadian government had nothing that would entitle it to any privileges, and therefore he did not feel like entering iato an rocity agreement with it, Still he be the “senato adopt the house proposition for fre the interest of the poor people of the coun- t ‘A vote was taken on the committee amend- ment to prragraph 545 and it was agreed to, 1t now reads: sh fish caught by citizens of the United States on the high seas or in the open waters of lakes forming the bound- ary between the United States and the Do- minion of Canada.” This puts them on the free list. The paragraph relating to the fish dutiable list was then talcen up, the question being on the finance committee’s substitute for the house paragraph, which fixed a duty of 1 centa pound on fresh or salted fish, The committce amendment fixed the duty at g cent per pound.

The paragraph placing a duty of 15 cents a pound 'on Tops was then taken up, and Mr, Gorman moved to reduce the rate to s conts per pound, Before the discussion closed the question as to the extension of time for the "considera tion of the tariff bill was started by the op- position foran evening session. After an in- terchaiige of views on both sides, Mr. Aldricl withdrew the proposition for an evening se sion and submitted another extending the time for consideration of the tarift bill toin- clude Monaay, when the discussion is to be limited to thirty minutes, when the sugar schedule is to be taken up.

General assent was given to that under standing. Then Mr. Gorman's amendment, to reduce the duty on soaps to 8 cents a pound was re- jected. Mr. Vest moved to place salt on the freo list.

Chicago Shippers Satisfied with the Condition of Affairs, Cuicaco, Sept. 6,—|Special Telegram to Tur Ber]—“In spite of what Chairman Blanchard says,” said George C. Clark, one of Chicago's most prominent shippers today, e are perfc atistied with the condition of the bill of lading question. Within ashort time you will sce all the castern roads using anew bill of lading, which is satisfactory to us. Neither the Wabash nor Grand Trunk will put the amended uniform bill into effect of this T have positive assurances, Chair- man Blanchard's staterments ave misleading and his inter y was solely o bolster upt of the luke lines, which meet to discuss the bill of lading in Buftalo on Monday. He wants to make the lake lines think all the rail lines will adopt tho bill, and themselves be thus forced to do it ungracefully unless they take time by the forelock and on Monday to adopt it. Mr., Blanchard suceoeds in this plan how have their con: n additional ley to force consent from the Grand Trunk Wabash when the matter comes up Tucsday in the Central Trafic dion, But we happen to know in advance that the scheme will fail.” The pi of the cha the Lake Shor 1 were expliin as follow: ige in front of on the bill of lading by a Lake Shore official from the boycott of the , or both, our percentage of east-hound shipments has dwindled from 3 3. On the other haud that of the Grand Trunk has gone up to 30 from 14, dating in both cases from the he ning of the boycott. On instructions from N we forwarded to him last duy a written statement from every Chi- 20 shipper, giving the shippers' opinion of the bill of lading. Kvery shipper was vio- lently oppo.ed to it and the majority of them declired they would continue the boycott, as long as the Lake Shore used the bill of lading. 1t made a very strong showing and my opin- ion is that the Lake Shore will give notico Tuesday of & return t2 the old form, until o new bill can be drawn up at a conference of railroad men and shippers.’” The F‘rel.ht ‘trafic Pool, Cuicado, Sept. 6.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bi ~“The pool on freight trafic, upon which was based the advance in east- bound Missouri river rates, is destined to end with its ninety d: of agreed iife,” said Lrafic Manager Hanley of the Atchison to- day. *“We will liveup to the agreement as long as it lasts, but after that we will go i| alone.
