HE IS DENOUNCED AS A LIAR It Create a To.mo.lt In the Chamber at Uepatle. and Wa Followed by the Uual Challenge Premier Ilnpuy Be- proached Jaure. Pabih, December 26. General Mer- cier, Minister of War, introduced to-day in tbe Chamber of Deputies a bill pro viding tbe death penalty for such mill tary traitors as Captain Dreyfus. Dep uty Jaures, Socialist, was delegated by bis party to demand tbe abolition of the death penalty in tbe army. In tbe course of his attack upon the government he said that Dreyfus escaped sentence be cause the government feared the conse quences of executing bim. Premier Dupuy reproached Jaures for voicing the theories of international socialism on a subject which should appeal to every Frenchman's loyalty. Jaures shouted in his reply, pointing to the Ministers: " You are the internationalists. You favor the internationalism of Hebrew capitalists, whom yon screen and pro tect. Yet these Hebrew capitalists, whom you adopt as your wards, are swindlers and scamps." The Chamber was brought to a high itch of excitement by this harangue, t'he Socialists cheered annrovinirlv. Tim Ministers interrupted the speaker fre quently with their protests. As Jaures reached the climax of his charges M. lierthou, Minister of Public Works. sprang to his feet and shouted : xou ue, ana you know you lie." Jaures' reply was drowned in a ta rn.,!, I, 1,,V. mt i 1...I a f H ..a utes by the President's bell. There were calls lor the censuring of Juares, and eventually Brisson, the President, re quested him to retract bis accusations. Jaures refused flatly. He was censured by the 1'resident and expelled tempora rily from the Chamber. The sitting was adjourned in confusion. Jaures sent hie seconds to Berthou. According to tbe arrangements made by the seconds the duel will be fought with pistols at twenty-five paces. The duel was tbe main topic of discussion during tbe intermis sion, and tbe Deputies were still talkine of the probable conditions when the sit ting was resumed. The previous ques tion was demanded by the government as soon as the Chamber came to order, and was carried against M. Jaures' pro posal. Alexander Miller, Radical, ar atied in a speech on General Merciers bill that the existing laws would enable the government to punish Dreyfus with death. Lawyer Leveille, Republican, denied this. Eventually urgency was voted on the Merrier bill. Turbulent Tong Ilaka. Yokohama. December 27. Although Japanese rule is accepted by the Core ans generally, tbe Tong Haks are still active.

General complaint against the issuance of gov ernment rations to the Indians is made in the annual reports of agents. Captain P. H. Ray of the Shoshone agency, Wyoming, says: "They will never be come self-supporting so long as tbe gov ernment gives them the semblance of support j neither can they begin to ac cumulate property so long as the supply of the necessaries of life is solely in the bands of white traders." Another fa& tor retarding tbe development com plained of by Captain Ray is the fact that chiefs are allowed to dictate to the agent as to tbe issue of annuities and affairs of the agency. The removal of troublesome chiefs is recommended. The ehoshones are regarded as communists, who are loth to take uo anv untried tnr- suit. Their agent recommends that the ration issue, except to indigent and help less, be gradually discontinued and tbe money now used for rations be devoted to the payment of Indian labor. The international treaty governing OUal-VlMTllir, r a. , I. r D.alA. .1 Behring Sea has worked great hardships to the Indians at Neah Bay. Washing ton. These Indians cannot agree upon a head man or chief, and conseonentlv are divided among themselves, their agent regaraing their failure to select one as a disadvantage to them. UmsHierable opposition to the work of the commission preparing lands on the Puyallup reservation in Washington for rio in Mciug euown uy a minority OI these Indians, but the faction is evident ly influenced by having all restrictions removed. The progress made at TulaliD aeencv. Washington, indicates that within a few years these Indians will become self-supporting and independent of government aid. Some definite action is urged noon tbe department to restore to the Yakimas their rights at their accustomed fisheries on the Columbia river in Washington, a dispute over which has resulted incon siderable trouble. The Yakimas refuse to take the allotments, but have marked off a line which they claim as their reservation in common. J hey are re ported in bad financial condition and in great need of government assistance. 'Whisky," says Agent Erwin, "is the greatest hindrance to Indian prosperity. There is an immense traffic in alcohol and vile decoctions carried on with them, and one murder and two violent deaths during the year are charged to whisky." INSURANCE WAR IMMINENT. Companle Give Notice of Intention to Withdraw From the Pacific Vnlon. San Francisco, December 28. The Commercial Union, the Firemen's Fund, Home Mutual, Manchester, Caledonia, America, Agricultural of Watertown, N. Y.; Lancashire of Manchester, St. Paul, Teutonia of New Orleans and Girard of Philadelphia, insurance companies, have given notice of their intention to with draw from the Pacific Insurance Union. The Northwest National, the New Zea land and Sun are involved in a difficulty with tbe union over the payment of sal aries to solicitors, prohibited by union rules, and the Phot-nix and Home are already out of the insurance compact. Many agents, some representing the companies mentioned, do not want to disband, recognizing the advantages of concurrent action. They have given no tice of withdrawal to be thle to meet the rate-cutting expected from those companies already out of the union. Notices of withdrawals are expected from many other companies, but extra ordinary efforts are being made to reor ganize the union on new lines. Rate catting would greatly diminish the prof its, and would force many small compa nies to the wall. -AMD- U all tie most aimed trap anil gams slooters. CATTLE EMBARGO Why Our Live and Dressed Beef Are Shut Out of Germany. THE REPORT OF OUR AGENT Authorities fiajr There Can No Longer be Any Doubt that tbe Dlaeane Was Texan Fever Denmark's Action Looked t'poo as a Selr-Interent Move. Washington, December 27. An agent of the Department of Agriculture, now in Germany, has been looking into tbe reasons for the German movement against American live cattle and dressed beef, and has made the following pre liminary report to the department, ad ditional time being required to prepare a complete report :' " I hasten to forward this information in advance of the report, as it may not only be of interest, but of immediate value to the department. The general opinion among the importers of Ameri can live cattle and dressed beef is that the German authorities will never recede from the position they have taken unless they could be induced to revoke the pro hibition order on condition that German veterinarians be employed to inspect the live cattle and dressed beef before load ing for transportation to Germany. This must also have been the opinion of the directors of the Ham burg-American Packet Company. Directors Ballin and Wolff of this company inform me that they have made the proposition to the German government to employ German veterinarians to inspect every cargo of dressed beef or cattle in the United States which is to be landed at German ports. Wbat the ultimate answer will be remains to be seen. This company has built four magnificent steamers for the purpose of transporting live stock and dressed beef to Germany, but these steamers now take their freight to navre. " The veterinarians employed at the Hamburg stock yards and slaughter house were rather reluctant at first to call tbe disease discovered Texas fever ; they were unacquainted with the symp toms of tbegeneral nature of the disease. They concluded that the sixteen head infected had been watered from a tank probably in a filthy condition and full of bacteria, which would be responsible for the slimy condition in which the intes tines were found. An analysis of the water, however, proved this theory to be incorrect; therefore the veterinarian? were almost at a loss to know wbat the disease was or what could have caused the sickness. Tbe matter was reported to tbe Imperial Sanitary Department at ! Berlin, and tbey demanded an inspection of the intestines, lungs, liver and heart of one of the diseased animals. Three weeks after it was declared by the Im perial Sanitary Department that the disease was Texas fever, and a prohibi tion order was issued. " Tbe veterinarians at Hamburg now affirm that, according to the diagnosis made at the time of tbe killing: of the diseased animals, it corresponded exactly with the description given bv American authorities, and, therefore, there can no longer remain any doubt but that the disease in reality was Texas fever. The chief veterinarian, Vollers of Hamburg, and the director ol the Hamburg slaughter-house, Mr. Brisen, have gone to Eng land to give this matter special atten tion and to learn what precaution the Enelish authorities take aeainst the spreading ot the disease when they dis cover tmses of Texas fever. Chief Vet erian Vollers has also written a pain- pmet giving tbe complete details ol tbe matter, a copy of which will be for warded to the department as soon as the pamphlet is printed. , " Denmark following Germany's lead in prohibiting the importation of Ameri can live cattle and dressed beef is looked upon here as a move dictated by self-interest. The larger per cent of the cattle killed at Hamburg are from Denmark, because all the cattle arriving from Den mark must be slaughtered, as they can not be transported to the interior of Germany alive. Denmark is evidently nopeiui tnat by excluding American cat tle she may receive permission from the German authorities to transport their live stock to the interior of Germany. One of the directors of the Hamburg American Packet Company informs me that Rotterdam has a. so prohibited the landing ot American live cattle at that port. Hamburg dealers in cattle and commission merchants in general are now inakins efforts to obtain permission to import live cattle from Canada, there being no Texas fever in the Northern States. They would load them at Hali fax, but they doubt very much if further permission will be granted. The Ame i- can live cattle sold at Hamburg were of tirst-class quality, and gave excellent satisfaction, with the exception of tbe thirty-two bulls, sixteen of which had to be killed and condemned, thereby creat ing all this commercial disturbance. Tbe other animals were principally short horns and far superior to any European beef cattle killed at Hamburg. "If the exportation of live cattle is again allowed, special care should be taken to export the best quality only to Germany. The dressed- beef was also first quality in every respect, but unfor tunately the cooling machinery did not work satisfactorily, and the appearance of the meat was somewhat against it. Dr. bannon, chief of ttie bureau of ani mal industry, states that none of the in formation so far obtainable would indi cate that these animals were suffering trora lexas tever."

American Ports May be Closed to the Products of Spain. : Washington, December 27. Interest ing developments are expected as a re sult of the strained relations between the United States and Spain over the tariff. Secretary Gresham has directed Minister Taylor at Madrid to notify the Spanish government that, if the United States is not removed from the list of countries not having satisfactory treaties, this country will retaliate. It is not be lieved Spain will yield to the protest of Secretary Gresham. In that event Pres ident Cleveland will probably issue a proclamation closing American ports to the products of Spain. The first effect of this will be to shut out enormous shipments of raw siio-ar whi.-li nnm tn . r , . v . u,y ... this country, and cause a sharp advance in price, besides cloeing refineries and throwing out of work many thousands. In official circles it said Cuba furnishes seven-eighths of all the sugar, and Lou isiana and Hawaii the remainder; but it is said that it wnnlri tin make up this seven-eighths now drawn irom wuoa. 11 is also asserted-, there fore, bv thorn in no vii iflontifio.I with or partial to the sugar refineries that the a : 11 . . . m won wouia cut mem on from their siidpI ies and rlonp thpm . tin tlimMvinra 20,000 employes out of work. This state ment, was maue Dya nign official, who had much to do with the negotiations, and who is verv annrehennivA nf if. .a. suits. He added that the ultimate effect of the war would be to advance the price of sugar from 3 to 6 per cent per pound, thus making the public bear the burden. In levying duties Spain arranges the countries in two columns. The first col umn includes those who have not entered into satisfactory treaty arrangement with her. Until rprpntlv Rra?;i tko only one on tbeglobe which Spain had put iu tins coiumn, an oiner countries being in the "'Second mlnmn " which innln.loa those having satisfactory treaties.

It in nnrlpratwl fmm antrmrifatlvp sources that a queetion has been raised as to the right of the President to issue a retaliatory proclamation against Spain, such as Secretary Gresham has threat ened. This proclamation, if made, would oe unuer a law 01 low, wnicn author izes retaliation against countries making unjust discriminations against the United States.

That I What the Investigating- Party Says of Mount Rainier. Skattle, December 27. The Post-Intelligencer exploring party has fully confirmed the previous statements that smoke has ascended from the summit of Mount Rainier in the last two months, for the explorers are now camped on the side of the mountain over half way to the summit and have actually seen great volumes of smoke and geysers of steam pouring from the crater. This news was brought by a homing pigeon to Fred S. Meeker's loft at Puyallup, another pig eon released in the mean time not having arrived. The men are all well in spite of the cold, and seem to be boldly push ing on to the summit. The pigeon which brought this news arrived at Puyallup at 3 p. m., Christmas day. The bird lib erated Monday has not yet arrived, and some accident has evidently befallen it, The following is the message received : "St. Elmo's Pass, altitude 8,000 feet, 12 m. Christmas day. The expedition has demonstrated beyond doubt that Mount Rainier has been smoking. Yes terday afternoon, about two hours after the pigeon was liberated while crossing the vast snow field dividing the Elysian fields and Winthrop glacier Major In graham suddenly shouted: "ee the smoke! See the Bteam!' The top of the mountain was fully five miles away, and as he spoke jets of steam like gey sers shot upward 200 feet or more, and farther to the right a column of densely black 8 moke rose from the crater in fitful curls to a height of several hundred feet. Major Ingraham declares that the smoke is a revelation to him." International Wine Kxpusltlon. Washington, December 27. The French embassy at Washington has been informed that applications for space at the International Wine Exposition, which will be held at Bordeaux May to Decem ber, 1805, will be received as late as Jan uary 31 by the Societe Philomathique of that city, which has the matter in charge,
