Consequently tue tone of the Paris newspapers is again excited. They claim that the possession of France is unassailatle, both by virtue of justice and recent military operations, which, it is asseried, assure the perma- nent occupation of all the Niger territory already hyvothecated on the Krench maps, and the French Minister for For- eign Affairs, M.

"Great Britain is making the evacuation of Boussa by the French a sine qua non. The budget of Monte Carlo shows that the profits for the year ending October 31 were 5,000,000 francs below those of the pre: vious year. Noreasons are assigned for this falline off.

FOOD COFFEE. FINESSE. The Subtle Weapon of Woman. The kind of management some husbands re- quire culti vates a skill ana finesse in their wives that would fit someof them for diploma- tie positions. “I never intenda to deceve John snaoy manner, but I find it necessary to do cer- n things for his good, Lut without his kno cdge; for instance, he has been subject to sick srells at timesthat seem tocome from stomach n and ityer.

The lead- | ing orzan of the Agrarians and National- ists, the Deuische Zzitung, sy “In this weare unable to see anything but a weakening of our diplomatic posi- tion.

The same is true of Lialy. Both Italy’s and Austria’s Medi terranean interests are of vast and far- reaching importance, and they cannot be sub erved so long as there isa latent an- tagonism against England as the feature { of the Dreibund policy. | 1 intente closer than has ever existed { has been established betwee ltaly and Austria so far as their Oriental and Med- iterranean inieresis are concerned, and this means a consonance of their interests with England in that resvect, To that | extent the Dreibund has been weakened and ( been left to foilow her own O 1d colonial policy at the side of Russia and France. It does not mesn the breaking up of the Dreibund, | but the re: ping of interests to some ex- | tent outside of 1t.”’ The ofliciai newspapers are silent upon | the subject, but the editor of onc of the | leading Government papers said: “We | are still waiting for our cue from above.” | Confirmatory news has been obtained of the report that the Reichstag, when it re- | convenes, wiil revive the na bl and the milita reform trial bill. In regard | to the naval bill, however, the Govern- ment will encounier strong opposition | from the Center party. Through i1s lead- | er, Herr Lieber, 1t sought to effect an | unders anding ~ with the Chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe, but the effort failed. The Center wished tor u promise that the Jesuit expulsion law would be repealed, in exchanve for which the Center engaged bill; to the naval but Prince Holenlohe flatly bill could not pass withcut the votes of | to_support | the Center party. | | | The refusal of Prince Hohenlohe to agree to the demands of the Centrists was solely due to tue instruciions of the Emperor, who teels highly indignant at the Pope’s encyclical, in which the Reformation is represeanted as being a ‘‘noly rebel- | lion,”” and in which the Prussian kings | are roughly handied. Severe comments on these passages have been made by many Protestant clergymen and leaders | in Prussia and their remarks during the month of October were brought 1o the attention of both the Emovress and Em- peror and greatly incensed them. The Boersen Courier, a leading financial organ, says: ‘‘We are approaching famine conditions. Victuals have risen in price to such an extent that sustenance of a whole strata of the population isin doubt. | Meats have become for the laboring classes, thanks to the Emperor's pro- hibitions, an article of luxury hardly at- tainable, and our poor crops heve driven the prices of cereals to such heights that not only the industrial population and the dwellers in cities, but even the rustic populstion, excepiing that part of it be- j longing to the suffering Agrarians, are threa ened in their existence. “A moment is approaching when the | Government will be compelled to throw | open again those avenues of trade which are now artificially closed.” | The Gueph party at Brunswick, at its corvention at Helmstedt this week, nom- inated cancidates for the Reichstag.

HAJOR MOORE AND HIS FOES They Are in Raptures Over a Mysterious Tele- gram, Hinted That the Major Would Be Sacrificed to Please Them. It Ex-Collector Wise and E. B, Jerome Said to Have Been the Most Pleased of All For the past iwoor three days there has been great rejoicing among the friends of Johin H. Wise, ex-Collector of Customs, and of B. B. Jerome, his ex-deputy, be- cause of a report from Washington to the | effect that Major Moore, special agent of the treasury at this point, was about to be dismissed through Mr. Wise's influ- ence. Mr. Wise obtained hisown appointment as Collector of Customs chiefly because his interests as & wWool tnerchant had been se- riously injured by the Wiison tariff bill, but being a rabid Democrat (D2mocraticus ferox), he stuck to the varty, consoled by the reflection that what he might lose on wool through the free-trade policy of the Democratic - party would be more than | compensated for by the benefit which wou!d accrue to bis wholesale whisky in- terests. Mr. Wise was rewarded by appointment to the collectorship of the port, but he had not besn seated long in the padded chair in the red-room in the Custom- house before he felt the prick of a very long and & very sharp thorn. That thorn | was the special agent of the treasury, Major Moore (Republicanus horribilis), an ancompromising Republican. Major Moore made it lively for both Wise and Jerome. They couldn’t do a thing that was off color, politically, that was not known 1n Washington, and it was an open secret in the Custom-house that both th gentlemen especially excepted f.jor Moore in their prayers for the wel- | fare of mankind. | Mr. Wise's successor, Colonel Jackson, i id to share with Jerome and Wise a borror of the major and of hiy espionage. The major has kept a sharp | | lockout on things because he believes that | a special agent is the eye of the Govern- | ment, always open to see that the Govern- ment dnes not suffer. The colonel be- lieves that the office of the special agent is t0 advise and console the heads of de- pariment Hence Colonel Jackson was observed to smile with Cierk Jerome two or three days azo when the report reached the Custom- house that Congressman Wise of Virginia had telezraphed to Harry Wise, son of the Collector, a dispatch reading, ac- cording to one account, “*We have landed him at last.” and according to another version, “We have bagged our game''— “nhim” and ‘“our game’ beinginterpreted | 10 mean the abhorred major. It was at first reported that the major was to be dismissed from the service for having made things uncomfortable for Wise, Jerome and a few others. Then the report was amended by a rumor to the effect that the major wonld not be dis- missed, but that the office would be Jished on the ground of economy. The last report bronght forth a wide smile among those who knew what the duties of a special agent of the treasury were. 1t woula be equivalent 1o leaving the outer door and the vauits of the sub- asury unlocked all night on the ground economy. Major Moore himself has heard nothing from Washington. He was not aware that any charges had been filed against him, although his friends say he was aware tha: Wise, Jerome and another oficial bhad been working for some for his downiall. Vise became rather excited when sterday by a CALL reporter as to h or falsity of thereport concern- he telegram. “There is no truth in the ever,” he said vehemently. o | report what- “No telegram of that kind been received and I know nothing absolutely about the matier. I only bovpe that the report is true. If phy- energy were the only thing required Major Moore out, I would lend all I Lad been stated positively to mem- bers of the press by a person v ry friendly ! to the Wise and Jerome inieresis that such a telezram had been received. Has the scheme fal en through or has somebedy crawfished ? Major Moore says nothing except that he knows nothing. But a warlike gleam in his strboard eye suggests that the | Treasury Department may have some- | | | ay. thing to say pre'ty soon. THE MISSION TEAM WON. End of the Pentathlon of the Young Men’s Christian Asscciations.

Wilson Sentenced by Judge Campbell, but She Will Appeal. Mrs. J. A. Wilson, 1110 Larkin street, who was convicted a week ago by Judge Campbell on the charge of battery, was yesteraay senitenced to pay a fine of $10, with the alternative of ten days in the County Jail.

DAWSON, the New Inspector of Drugs. The appoiniment by President McKinley of John H. Dawson of this cliy to the important position of inspec or of druss, medicines and chemicals for the district of California meets with the approval of hundreds of the citizens who are ac- quainted with the gentleman and who are familiar with bis merits. Mr. Dawson came to San Francisco in 1875 from his native State, New York, and he has been 1n business here ever since. Most of the time he has conducted a drugstore in the Mission end he has grown up with that locality. His present place is on Valencia and Twenty-third streets. Mr. Dawson is a graduate of the Philadelphia Cole lege of Pharmacy. Although the gentleman is of a modest disposition and quiet in his manner, still he is prominent in many of the leading societies of this city. He has been successively the president, secretary and director of the California College of Pharmacy, and secretary by appointment by ex-Governor Markham of the State Board of Pharmacy, serving in that capacity for six years. His merits were called to the attention of ex-President Harrison, who appointed the local druggist Sugar Inspector, under the bounty act, for the California district, Aside from the public positions he has hela Mr. Dawson has been and is promineatly connectei with many vrivate enterprises. At present he is the treasurer of the Mission Home and Loan Association and director of the Fair- mount Home and Loan Association. He is also secretary of the California Phar- maceutical ana a member of the American Pharmaceutical associations., Yor vears hie has been a firm friend of Con gressman E. F. Loud, and he is a thorough Republican. For years he has been a member of the State Central Committee for his district. GHOSTLY VOICES | STILL WAILING Party Lines Annoy the Public and Petty Men the Operators. e perspired freely in a vain attempt to iscover who “put the public on."”” As y of the existing evils are so lain at even the manager and other officials ought to see them without the aid of a | “sleuth-nound,” it looks suspiciously as | if ne were acting under instruction. Mr. Sabin, the president of the corpora- tion. is nowin the East. He is commonly believed to be a man opposed to notoriety |and very lenient in his dealing with em- ployes. It this be so some of the late in- novations call pretiy loudly for his merci- | ful presence. Not long aeo a change was | made in the ftime the ojerators at the main office on Bush street work. By the | change some giris were favored and the burdens the rest have to bear materially | increased. | Lately certain of the operators, who | have peen with the company longest, go to work at 7, others at 8 and still others a9 in the morning. They quitat4, 5and 6 o’clock respectively. The rest of the day operators are required to begin their work 30 A. M. They quit at noon and are then permitted to go home. At 6 o'clock they come back and work nntil 9:30 p. M. | That intermission breaks the day up ana | literailv makes the operators work a good | while in the day and a good wbile in the | evening. It causes discomfort all around, | but tne company doesn’t worry a bit over that. The phonograph evil still sends ghostly voices to wai' along the lines. The Romeos and Juliets of the *‘party-line habiv’’ still prevent busy men from trans- acting their affairs; the girls are sull overworked. And thati< why some tard has a chance to make himself famous. h d m t A Changed Time Schedule Adds Discomfort to All Not Favorites, The Work of a * Sleuth-Hound” Un- der the Searchlight—Some Bard May Win Fame. There is a bard needed in this city, a bard to sing the song of the telephone girl, and he has as good a groundwork on which to base his verse as did Tom Hood in his famous “Song of the 8hirt.” Not loug azo 1HE CALL directed tie attention of the public to the abuses of this system | as it is now conducted and has been for | some time past, and the state of affairs which prevails to-day 1s as bad as.ever. Since the publication of those ariicles, which gave in detail the evils attendant upon the party-line system and the way the operators are overworked and 1nsulted by petty managers, the company has been industriously at work trying to find out from whom the information came in order that he or she might be dismissed from its employ. Their private detective was sent about and is still pursuing his weary way, reminding the observer of Pope’s comments on a certain class of poetry, ‘“‘which, like a wounded snake, did drag | its slow length along.’ i Tnstead of trying to find out whether or | not operators were being bullied and in- | sulted he endeavored to find out who had divulged the fact; instead of procuring in- formation and filing it with his employers | It is hard to gain, thongh it is much sought after, in this world of ours.

Members of the United Labor Party heid a very enthusiastic meeting at 111 Valencia streot last evening, and a proposition to place a ireeho ders’ ticket beiore the people for their suffrage at the coming eharter election elicited genersl and vehement discussion, after which the executive committes was di- rcted to procure the necessary instruction from the election commission to” proceed. ..

NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS. ottt stosntetrsoslstasefasontetoetasstataestatae 25 THE MAZE = Ni@NV ES—— A Beehive of Bargains % We have tried to impress this on your minds. A.Il those who have confidence in us and what we say will profit by it. Those who don’t we would rather not sell, because we lose money on every article we sell and can get more money for the stock January 1, when we sell it in bulk, than we do now retailing it. If you only knew it, we are doing you a favor to keep our doors open. There is a dead loss to us every day this store has been kept open since the 1st of August last, and we’d been thousands of dollars in pocket if we’'d shut her up tight then. But there was the rent to pay until January I, and then we thought we’d find some one that wanted a good thing_m «Frisco,” so we Kkept open. We are dismantling daily stock and fixtures. Next week our Domestic Stock will be moved upstairs and the Entire Basement given up to TOYS AND HOLIDAY GOODS. We are not going to say anything about Dress Goods and Silks. The importer’s stock of SILKS, VELVETS and DRESS GOODS that was and is offered you at 50c on the dollar should impress you at the price. He wires us, «If the public don’t appreciate it don’t push sale.” We won’t. Take it or leave it. Now about Cloaks, Suits, Skirts, Capes, etc. We told you we had them made up in the latest styles in order to facilitate the sale of the piece goods. These must be sold at once, as styles change and they become unsalable after the season. Do come in and sse what you can get in Ladies’ Tailor-Made Suits at $7.50, $10.50 and $12.50. We won’t exaggerate, but the same will cost you 1-3 more anywhere. You can’t buy a decent Tan or Black Jacket at wholesale under $6. We are selling better than this grade at retail for $5. At $7.50 you can buy Jackets, in tan, mode or black, that you can’t purchase the cloth for $7.50, to say nothing of linings, etc. We offer Double Tan Capes, elaberately braided, at $5. If you can buy them anywhere under $7.50 to $10 you can have ours for nothing. Skirts, $1.50 up; Silk Skirts, $3.95 up; Wrappers, 69c up. All our Fur Capes, in Electric Seal, Wove Seal, Astrachan, French Coney, etc., from 25 to 30 inches long, at $7.50 ; worth up to $20. You don’t have to buy. Look, and if you are not pleased you are just as welcome as if you were. We received yesterday a comsignment of LACE CURTAINS from the underwri ers’ sale of the firm of J. R. Lesser & Co., New York. They are scnt to us for sale at half their price. The goods are not ours. We are seliing them for the account of the pur- chaser, and we get a commission. Prices 75¢ to $5.
