New Yorg, Feb. 4.—At a meeting of the executive committee of the National Associ- ation of Trotting Horse Broeders, held today at the Fifth avenue hotel, it was unanimously decided to establish a new stud book for the registration of high class trotters exclusively.

Tho sentiment among eastern breeders is almost a unit against the admission of the pacer to the trotting standard. Headquarters will be located in Now York with G. C.

AMUSEMENTS ‘What a blessed relief it is to turn from the lurid vice and hysterical virtue, from the ob- trusive paint and rasping rant of the average melodrama to the intellectual delights of “The Struggle of Life'" as produced by Mr. Froaerick Paulding! The Omana engage ment began at the Boyd last night, and the production was notable for both dramatic and scenic merit, ‘The play is an- old one, but it carries a moral, which s developed in an action of sustained interest and abounding in strong chimacic situations. Mr. Paulding hus toned down the melodramatic exaggeration and dressed the play with mountinzs that aro gems of their kind. It is a bit odd that an actor who has achieved Mr. Paulding’s distinction in tragic roles shonld turn to melodrama, but the pub- lic with whom he has been u favorite in the legitimate may console itself with the iformation that by this excursion into the heroics of common life he is merely pluming his wings for higher flights into tragedy. Mr. Paulding brings to a rather common- place role the arts of a consummate actor, the expressive play of a mobile face and the magnetic qualities of a vibrant, resonant voice tnat is as clear as a beil and responsive to the lightest shads of emotiou. His char- acterization is @& finished piece of acting worthy a star of the first magnitude. Mr. Paulding is suppotted by an excelleut company and aided by realistic scenery. Tho action of the play is placed in New . York. Tho second act shows a view of the bay from Battery park on a winter night, and it is an exquisite piece of sconic work. The third act gives a view of the exterior of St. Pawrick’s cathedral on Fifth avenue, together with a Vanderbilt residence sud the Lung- ham hotel. The fourth act has another beau- tiful scene and uses a double stage.

CRITICISING THE NEW FRENCH TARIFF Ex-Minister Lockroy Says it 1s a Mistake anda St kward—What Belg [Copyrighted 1872 by Jamss Gordan Bennsth.| Panrs, ab, |New York Herald Cable ~Special to Tur Bx A sensation has been caused in France and olsowhero by the rovelations which Prince Goorgs of Saxony bas just made regarding.the way in which the German ofiers are in the habit of troat- iog the men waom they command. The ox citement is only natural. The custows de- nounced in the prince’s letters are wocthy of savages and couid hardly fail to rouse the indignation of a nation like the Krench, which sweavs by equality. much more curfous than the critivism of the French and English wouid be an at tempt of an ofticial of Germany to explain away the outrages in question. It would be hard to excuse the cru- oity which goes on fn tho Goerman army, howevor much one might be in the habit of defending bad causes. Is it admiss- ablo that in a country which boasts of being the head of civilization human beings should be treated as the slave arivers ot Africa treat their slaves! - Is it conceivable thad in a land wnich bas nroduced philosophers like Kaut, thinkers tike Gaethe, poets like Heine, a subaltern should be allowed the right to bully and strike men who differ only from himself in that thoy have an inch or two less bullion on their sleeves ! Is it possible that in Germany, which up- holds universal suftrage and where eversone is said to have the right to express his opin- ionon publio afairs, citizens and electors should be treated like beasts of burden? Prince (ieorge nas shown himself to be a man of honor by exposing the abuses he speaks of in his leiter, but he has dealt a dreadful blow at the empive and unsettied the foundation of the German military sy: tom. (reat effects have ofton small causes. The prince in his lotter bay pitted humanity against force, and by so doing he has con- demned Germany. Emperor William has had a serious acci- dent. While boar-hunting he fell on his left arm and lay for some time..insensible. His physicians have had his arm bandaged and ordered him rest. Jieques St. Cene. FRANC NEW TARIFF. iects of Its Provisions Already Manifest in the Large Citles, LCopyrighted 1892 by James Gordon Bennett.| Pamis, Feb, 3.—|Now York Herald Cable —Special to Tue Bee. j—The Huerald’s corre- spondent today had an {interviow with M. Lockroy, late minister of commerce, on the subject of the new Freuch tariff, who said: “These protectionist tariffs will first ve felt by the people of the large towns. Mutton, for example, has already gone up 30 centimes. This falls hardest on the poor, with whom mutton is the favorite: meat, consaquently the effect of the new tariff will be that the laboring man will have to cut down the amount he eats, which will result in dimin- 1shing the amount of labor he can do., Some saloons have increasod the price of beer. Others have diminisheq the size of the glass, pretending ouly to use the smailer glasses for imported beer. Restaurant keepers have already held & meeting, at which 1t was de- cided to augment prices on the ground of the new tariff, The government might just as woll tax bread, and, by-the-by, it has done so, for there is a 1ax on wheat flouer; so bread will increase in price. The tariff. is -also enor. mously increased ou wines. Another vory injurious turiff is that on fruit, which will make us lose a fine supply received from hot houses in Jersey and Belgium. Lobsters, crayfish and cheese ure also taxed, thaton cheese being especially hard on the working- man, as Swiss cheese forms uan’ item. of his overy day consumption. In fact, nearly all the food consumed by the poor' mun is now taxed. “The situation now isthat the workingman will now find a living .and clothes dearer, and that exportation will ‘diminish, because other nations willno longer have advanta reous commerciul conditions for dealings ith us. We have nll'endy estranged Switzerland, Spain, Belgium, “The ouly peo ple who will gaiu by ths new tariff are the monopolists, big landed preprietors and rich manufacturers, but all their gaiu will be at the expeuse of the poor and middle classes. Three-fourths of the farmers of France do not grow enough wheat for their own con- sumption, They will now have to buy ‘what they need at an increased price, 1 look upon the present tariff as a great disaster to the country and & step backwards, for I consiaer it tho duty of a democratic repuolic to assure for the poor the cheapest possible ‘mode of living. It1s your McKinley bill,” said M. roy in conclusion, “that has had much to do with bringing about the mew tariff here.” Lock CHILL RY FRIENDLY.

Diving for Lost Bullion in Chinese Waters The Seattle (Wash.) Post says Captain E. Ryan, the government diver, expects to complete arrangements in a fow duys to goto Yokohama to raise $2,000,000 worth of gold bullion which sank in 265 feet of water in the harbor there some years ago.

Cap- tain Ryan heard of the matter and im- mediately weut to see the Japanese vice consul at Seattle and made a proposition to him, which was forwarded totho consul at San Francisco, and Captain Ryan expects an answer in a fow days. Captain Ryan says that he offered” to 20 to Yokohnma and raise the bullion for one-half of it, as the Japanese gov- ernment proposes. but he wants $500 in cash before starting, the expenses for him and his the attendants poid, and $100 per day for himsell, $20 per day for his tender, nnd $10 per day for each of his pumpers, This he wants as a guar- antee that the amount of treasure stated is really lost in not more thun forty-five fathoms of water, On overing the property b will veturn all the money previously advanced. Speaking of the muatter yesterday, Captain Ryan said: “PThere areno divers to eqr.! the American divers, If that bullion is ally there in that depth of water I can recover it, and if Tdo won’t T muke things hum in Seattle for a while with a million dollars?
