LOXUON , Fob. 'J7. ( Now Yorit Herald
Cable Special to TUB Bii : : . ] The recent
decision of the Treasury dopartmaiit at
Washington that after April no animals
should be admitted free of duty unless ac
companied by a cortltlod record of pedlgroo
for llvo generations on the slro'a sldo , and of
four on the dam's sldo , naturally has created
great excitement in the llvo stock brooders of
this country. They have the consolation ,
however , that It will create quite as much
consternation among the llvo stock importers
of America , and the rule cuts both ways.
If the framers of thu decision had nny
practical knowledge of this particular branch
of commerce they would at least have
worded It moro carofully. The excuse given
for ita'adontlon Is the alleged importation of
mongrels of animals as eligible for free entry ,
nud that roglston had bajn established for
the purpose ot defrauding the United States
customs. Several Americans here are
now buying horjcs , and I nm
qulto sura know nothing about
the decision , ns they nro not looking for
thoroughbreds. Mr. Hoxtcr , for Instance , is
buying for Mr. Forrest with n view to the
stud ut ICatorah , N. Y. Ills spacialitios nro
Hackneys , Welsh and Shetland ponies. To
got pedigrees of all the ancestors of those for
llvo generations will moro than puzzle even
horse dealers and breeders.
CnllH forth C.instlc Criticism.
The Gazette says the decision almost anni
hilates shcop importing and sounds the
death kuell of the horse Importing Industry ,
referring of course to the United States. It
further says : "Its promulgation by the
Treasury department indicates a belief that
the stoclt of Clydesdales , Porcherons , Shahs.
Belgians , etc. , were all mongrel bread , so
that It requires at least llvo crosses of record
sires to eUablhh a typo and tlx the brood
characteristics , a conclusion which Indicate )
Ignorance moro profound than that which
ordinarily obtains among customs oniclals ,
nud wo know ot none who nra denser. "
Generally considered , the decision is In
tended as retaliatory on uccnunt of the embargo
barge on American oattlo , and tboro nra no
signs Dy the way that this embargo will bo
released by Mr. Chaplain. Dr. Wray , the
American cattle inspector at Diptford told
me today , that thnre ii u hundred linni morj
* disease among the cattle'of Great .Britain
than among those of the Unltod Statoa. The
English papers are belaboring Dr.
AY ray because in the Chronicla a few
days ago bo said In his opinion the
fool and mouth dUoaso was brought
into England In German skins , and not by
Danish cattlo. Ho is advised to attend to
his business and the government is blamed
for permitting tbo Unltod States to have cattle
tlo inspectors hero. Dr. Wray does not deserve -
servo this , for when ho was asked his opinion
ho had no Idea that it would appear in print.
He and the English authorities are on good
terms in splto of his unfailing efforts to got
the embargo raised.
Tired of Ofllclnl Life.
Mr. John Jorrott , the consul at Birming
ham , has sent In his resignation , and hopes
his successor will bo appointed in acoupln ol
months , at least. Ho Is tired of the job and
begins to scent the political battle. Some of
his Plttsburg friends have been urging his
return , and his wife's health is not good.
Besides bo has boon offered the secretary
ship of a largo association with headquarters
at Plttsliurg. His Birmingham berth Is
worth (4,000 a year salary , and Toes.
, I'lilluro of a Reform Church.
There is an American movon.ont hero
called tbo Reformed Episcopal church , Dr.
Altred Spencer Klcnardson bays ho is ono ol
Its bishops , and doscrlocs himself as a clerk
In holy orders , holding tbo degree of D. D.
from _ the University of Now ilruns
wick. It is insolvent , and in
the hands ot an ofllclal receiver
Dr. | Klchardsoii was the minister and pro
prietor of Christ church , St. John's Wood ,
Last November bo contracted to sell the
church for 1,400 and attributes his tnsolv <
cnoy to the fiiiluro of the purchaser to carry
out the terms of the agreement. The llnblll

ceremony there was a sermon over the do at

queen attending. Princess May remain
with Iho prince ot Wales' family at Compton
house , Eastbourne.
The court wont out of mourning yesterday
which Is a godsend to London tradesmen ,
who have become all but bankrupt. The
shop windows today blossomed out Into
bright colors for the llrst time since the
4 royal doath. It is a great relief to see this
cheerful chaugo from sjiubar black , which

IUco\erie ut MmUespeuro'd Tomb ,
Visitors who hnvo been to 'the church at
Stratford-on-Avon whcro lleth the remains
of Shauespoaro will hear with Interest that
the chancel ha * boon restored and reopened
for worship. It baa been closed for two
years. Intoiosting discoveries have been
made. The remains of Doau BaUall , who re-
VllUed the choir nud died iu HOI , were dls-
covered , and the nltnr and tomb re
stored. The stone which covers Judith
Combo , n namesake If not a god-child of
Judith Shakespeare , was found concealed by
modern tiles and Is now displayed. The old
nltnr slab of the chancel of St. Thomas ot
Canterbury , orcctod by Joha I ) . Stratford ,
archbishop , was unearthed , having been
underground slnco the Information. It is
now used for the high altar.
Material lor Ciimiiilgii Speeches.
General Gaorgo Sheridan , who is fre
quently referred to here as the here ot Win
chester , has been making n study of the food
In England ns compared with "that In the
United States , and will use the results of his
research In campaign speeches fortho repub
licans. Ho Is convinced that a man can llvo
cheaper at Dclmonlco's than nt most of the
London hotels or restaurants. I mot him to
day coming out of the Grand Hotel grill
room , which Is considered reasonable ai re
gards prices. General Sharldau thought
that it was oxhorbltant and higher than
that of moil first class Now York und Wash
ington restaurants.
Imprcnrd on "Uin-tn-rn-rn. "
London has gene stark mnd over the re
frain of n music hall song called "Tn-rn-ra
boom-do-ro. " It hai become n hideous night ]
mare. Everywhere , from Bolgravia aud
May fair to iloundsditch and WUitcohanol ,
In drawing rooms and hovels , ono hears
"iVra-ra boom-do-ro"1 and thdro Is hardly a
theater In London In which the retrain is
not alluded to at least once during the night ,
oven at the ultra-fashionable porformanccs
of Air. Oscar Wlldo's play at the
St. James theater. The other night ono ot
the notora , who could not resist the craze ,
cried out , "Ta-ra n-ra boom-de-rn , " and con
vulsed the audience. If you t-'o ' to the House
of Commons lobby It is probably the Hrst
thing that greets your car , and ono expects
no other reply from 'bus drivers , newsboys ,
hawitorj and policemen , inlluonzi and fog
link Into insignificance besides this refrain ,
'or which Miss Lottlo Collins , who ii known
on the American variety stage , is responsi
ble.
Ills Very r.ntest Triumph.
Mr. Oscar Wlldo has Introduced from Paris
now ( lower l-ato London button-holers ,
kvblch has boon much discussed , and may in-
.orest the glided youth of Anurlca. The
flower Is a brilliant , ugly green hybrid , pro
duced by over culture , out of n oivsamy whlto
carnation. The now bouttonloro , which is
already soon in profusion in the parlt and on
Bond street , Is as expensive in the chotcast
orchid. The ugliest and most stunted sped-
man sells for 2 shillings and double that
prlco is obtained fora fully developed flower ,
accompanied by unhappy looking buds.
The husband of Mrs. Montague , who
caused the death by torture of her 3-year-old
daughter In Ireland recently , Is flrst cousin
to the dukoof Manchester , who married Miss
Yzanga.
Some English papers nro printing short

who is quite a different sort of man.

able Special to Tim Bun. 1 Twice within
a year has a member of this Parliament been
expelled from the House of Commons. Such
a thing had not happanod baforo in the
nomory of man. In both cases flagrant 1m-
uoralltv had been committed , and the House
, ook cognizance ot It , llrst because of convlc-
.lon In a criminal court , and the second tlmo
aecauso the uccu&cd porsin was a fugitive
from justlcj.
Docobain's case lucked nothing to make It
detestable In tho.oyos of all mankind. Huvolt-
ng In itself , ho made it worse bv the relig
ious hypocrisy bo associated with it. His
victims were attendants nt his blb'.o class ,
and the scoundrel himself never failed to ba
present at the private prayer meetings
which somotlmoa were held in a room
in the House of Parliament. In
expelling him the members felt they had
gotten vld of one of the worst mon that ever
smuggled thomsolvod Into Parliamant. It ,
was , however , characteristic ot the singu
larly loose management of the liouso under
Balfour that the resolution for expulsion was
drawn in such bad English tint whea some
corrections were moved by Sexton , the liouso
accepted thorn with humility. An Irish
mcmnor was obliged to put iutopropsr shape
on Important resolution drawn by the phil
osophic Balfour.
It cannot bo donlcd that the now loader
has thus far failed to grasp the situation.
Ho was qulto at homo In dealing with the
nationalists , for practice had him perfect , but
bis now noiitlon calls for totally different
qualities and tbcso ho has not ynt shown.
His cynical , indifferent air and irregular at
tendance in his place annoy the house His
reputation at this moment is trembling in
the balance , and the past week's work has
by no means tended to aa\'c it.
ISather Ilotherod thu Government.
Statements made in the report of the
United States immigration commissioners
excited the utmost astonishment hero. Uno
has already boon made the subject of a ques
tion in tha House of Commons , and another
will bo brought forward Monday. The alle
gation that there are 22oaoOJO , acres of pro
ductive land lying Idle appears to bavo been
borrowed from the report ot 1793. Before
enclosures had been made the English com
missioners adopted this ancient report with
out Inquiry. The minister of agriculture has
explained that there is nothing llko that
quantity of uncultivated , laud in Great
Britain.
The question to bo asked Monday relates
to the still more astounding statement that
there is a systematic exportation of convicts
from this country to the United States ,
known , encouraged and 'patronized by the
government of Great Britain. It is needless
to any that this movement of convicts is
purely imaginary , and the covorumcnt will
glvo the most emphatic contradiction to the
statement.
On Monday Minister Pauncefoto , also , wll
bo requested to take representations to the
secretary of state on the subject of the wbolo
report of the commissioners. Fairly repre
sented by these samples , the document will
have to bo classed with "Munchauson's
Travels. "
Some money Is beginning to dribble In from
the United States towards the Irish elec
tioneering fund , and not before it was
needed. Both sections will claim it , and the
donors might do worse than to indicate
wbich of the Simon pure Irish parties is to
have it , to guard against further disturb
uncos.
Gladstone ID Needed.
The nationalists are moro active in Parliament
mont than the Parucllitos , because they are
moro numerous and bava a larger number o :
experienced parliamentary pards umong
them , but John Redmond will not strike the
Parnolllto flag , Tbo influence of this splii
on the elections In English boroughs , wbero
the Irish vote is important , cannot fail to bo
momentous.
Gladstone is expected to put In an appear
ance Monday or Tuesday. Just as ho was
on tbo point of arrival the blttor east winds
sot In , and his friends are not without
anxiety on his behalf. If ho could bo regular
In attendance this session and exercise his
full force , ho would probably bo able to scat
ter Balfour and the conservatives , who are
marching in very loose order , but at the best
bo can only bo avaJablo | for great occasions.

AdclrrsH of Mr , Nt. John nt the Chicago
llunltcru Clnb'N Dinner.
CuiOAon , III. , Feb. 'J7. A notable affair
socially , and one likely to prove memorable
In political and financial circles , was the
annual dinner of the Chicago Bankers cluu
tonight ut Kinsley's. An even three score
ot guests , Including not a few of the loaders
in western monetary affairs , were present.
The feature of the .occasion was a remark
able address In advocacy of the free coinage
of silver , tha speaker being President Wil
liam P. St. John of the Mercantile National
bank of Now York.
"Freo coinage and free silver , ! ' said Mr ,
St. John , "are ttio common , but misleading
terms for a incro proposal to restore the coinage -
ago sybtom of the United Stales , founded
under Washington , as advised by Alexander
Hamilton and recommended by Thomas Jef
ferson and ratified suoscquently by Andrew
Jackson , That old system of equally unre
stricted coinage for cold and silver , which it
Is now proposed to reinstate , was maintained
continuously for eighty-one years , until over
thrown In 1878. And yet. no objections tiow
are too paradoxical to hail from ouo and the
aino antagonist of silver colnagn. The
namu uicu denounce it as a scheme of
mine owners to enhance the value of silver ,
and yet n swindle tf } ( txtnsloncrs by reducing
the value of the Jog r tender silver dollar
and then a lutllo ndbavor to reduce the
vnluo of money by > onlarplng Its volume ,
iitllo bocnuio the enactment will banish
; old ; but novortbejasa 'n practical ropudla-
Ion of , ' ! 0 cents on tlloldolUr ot all debts to
benefit the debtor cthss ! "
Nerd of Silver In Kurope.
Mr. St. John rapidly analyzed the monetary
condition of continental Europj ns showing
their need of allvcr nud the world's insufll-
clcncy of gold If Europe should doslro to
discard her silver ,
"Europe's only silver , " ho said , "Is her
coined monoy. It la na equally legal tender
as her gold. Therefore Europeans would
: et nothing moro available us money nt
homo , dollar for axbhango ot tholr silver
coin for gold. " Continuing , ho said : "Tho
Dank of Franco receives its stock of silver
llko its stock of goldi as the unlimited lawful
money of Franco , Irrespective ot bullion
value. As such it vf 111 liquidate that bank's
vast liabilities at par. Therefore , , our re
opened mints could not attract It at u dis
count. The minimum discount would bo I.Oil )
per cent. Their old coin would lese 0 per
ccut Iu a dollar'for dollar exchange nt
our mint. That chartered bank could
not recoln her $350,1)00,000 ) of silver here ,
which is serviceable at homo , to redeem her
5003,000,000 of circulating notes nt par , unless
her shareholders should.s.-.nctlon its surren
der at n discount. A discount ot ti per cent
would mean a sacrifice on tdelr account of
$12,600,000 in sucb.an pvtdontly valueless ex
change. " , .
AVorld'ri Consumption of tha .Mct.tl.
Mr. bt. John furnished figures of the
world's consumption of silver nt present ,
\\tiicli , including our treasury nbsoptlon ,
weald appear to ba , Iu excess of the world's
present production of silver. The available
suppllosju London , Kan Francisco and Now
York , ho said , were reduced from over 15-
000,000 ounces to Inss than 7OOiOOJ ) ounces ,
una the result , to date , of the llrst eighteen
month's operation i four silver purchase law
of 1S9J. Ho remarked that this present
oxcois of consumption over the production
of silver is in spite of fluctuations in the
prlco which reduced India's ubsorptlon by
over $17,000,000 worth of silver during nine
months.
The speaker argued that the proposed fixity
of price for silver at our great mints would
so enlarge India's absorption as to assura
the permanency of our law. For with $1
obtainable for 41" } grains ot standard sliver
in any amount oilcrod at ojr mints , no one
could obtain silver .ut a lower prlco else
where. Our vast and increasing trade use
of money would furnlth employment for all
the dollars of gold unit silver omitted from
the mints , In coin or by papar suostituto , and
the parity ot bullion valuu for our gold and
bllver dollars would ba accomplished and
maintained thereby in the markets of the
world.
.Sntimlttoil .StiUUtlcs.
Mr. St. John submitted statistics showing1 ,
according to him , Jlio inadequacy of the
world's supplies of gold for money. Ho cltod
the United States.supremo court decisions
of 1870 and ISSf , whlca ho said confirmed
the power of congress to create and issue
money and nssumo that congress will not
hereafter employ'banks at bank profit to
tssuo substitutes' for monoy. Ho instanced
what ho described.as the pooular determina
tion that the volume of money In the United
States shall not depend hereafter , as fre
quently heretofore , on the accruing of
profits to bants upon bank is
sues of circulating notes. Hence ,
said ho , the twd "alternatives between
which conservatives are to choose arc , llrst ,
the reonenlng of thct'mints to equally free
'
coinage' for gold and silver , the coin to circulate -
culato by paper Substitute when preferred ;
and second , the indeterminable Issues of
treasury paper thattmnst bo irredeemable if
gold is the only acceptcblo primary monoy.
"Tho proposed reopening of the mints to
gold and silver alijjo , " said Mr. St. John. In
conclusion , "besides luiaintalning the parity
of bullion value of our dollars , will provide
au automatic Isssuo of money limited by the
ramo product of hurd labor. The solonlter-
native suggested is the inestimably cap
ricious issue of limitless le al lender noted. "

Bnitux , Fob. 27. Dasplto the generally
lulot aspect of the streets during tha morn-
tig and afternoon , just npnrohoiisions were
felt , und th3 public was anxious to know
what would hapnon during the evening.
Groups of rowdlos wore rjnortod to ba as
sembling in the Ncuomarkot and tha
iacckeschomarkot In Gratewog and other
ccntuas , chlolly In the northarn ana eastern
larts ot the city. Along the Untor don Lin
den and In Schloss platz quiet , provallo.1.
Mounted police were patrolling all the load-
ng thoroughfare * around the schloss , and
kept the people on the movo. Patrols
also occupied the market places and the
streets con verging upon the quarter * occu
pied by the notcw. The situation sosmcd
indor the absolute control or the polios until
nightfall , when the rowdyism roauwod its
tussel with the authorities. The llrjt encounter -
counter occurred at the Haocko < chinarket.
.V noisy mo ! ) gradually assembled here utter
4 o'clock. It consisted of young workingmen -
men , wlio had probably bosoms oxcltod with
boor after leaving their work , and largely ,
ulso , of the most rowdy clement in Barlln.
The patrols got so blocked in the masses of
the crowd that they sent for reinforcements.
Then they charged the mob with their sabres
dr.iwn , driving thorn towards Nouo Frjd-
orlcho strasso and Oralnlenburgor strassa.
I'ouglit With Desperate Kucrgy.
The several thousand rioters thus split up
by the police tactics reassembled Inter on
the parading streets in the northern qunr.
tors. Houonthn strasso became the next
focus of the rioting. The position hero at 9
o'clock nppeurod to ba critical. A great
mass of people , many ot whom were obvi
ously genuine workman , but among whom
wcro a host of loafers , assumblod in groups
listening to socialist spoa'sors , who violently
denounced the government , the police , and ,
iu fact , everything comprising the existing
order of things. Tno police rnndo another
charge on the mob and repeated it again and
agnlu , but the crowd , after giving way n
llttlo at each charge , reclosod their ranki
and fought the pollcs with desperate energy ,
using as weapons sticks , stones , heavy billets
lots of wood and anything they could lay
hands upon.
The police were trotting the worst of the
contest , as they had only used tlio flat sides
of their swords in striking , bat when they
sow the tide of battle turning against them
they did not hoiltate to usotho edges of their
sabres , and they struck right and loft , caring
naucht for the wounds tnoy inflicted , but de
termined to overcome the rioters.
muter ? liiilly Hurt.
A largo number of the rioters were badly
hurt , and some of the wounds inlllct3d by
the keen-edged sabres in the hands of the po
lice are apt to Yosult seriously. A lar o
number of the wounded were taken to sur
geries in the vicinity , where tholr injuries
were attended to.
By 10:30 : o'clock the Hosonthal raoloo was
over and a largo number of the rioters wcro
safe under lock and ken in the police stations
of Berlin. A foataro of tonight's rows has
boon the largo increase in the number of
vvorklngmon who were mixed up in the riot.
Hitherto the greater part ot the mob con
sisted of mon who were never known to
work , professional agitators and the dregs of
humanity' which infest the city. Tonight ,
however , there were many genuine workingmen -
men ia tbo mob. These may ba attributed to
the fact that today is pay day for mechanics ,
laborers , etc. , and carried away by the pre
vailing excitoraont and a llbsral supply of
moDoy wherewith to purchase intoxicants ,
they were drawn into the maelstrom of dis
order and when charged by tha polioo they
fought as dsspcratoly as did tha others of
the mob.
Dinienltlcs Encountered by the Police.
The dlfllculrios under which the police
labored were greatly added to by tbo streams
of people who paraded thu streets , not to
create any disturbance , but to watch the
"fun" when it did occur.
A rumor gained currency that nil the un
employed of the city were to form n pro
cession and march down Frledorloh strasse
and along the Untor don Linden. Although
common reasoning pjwors should have
shown that no such procoiaion would bo
allowed , that nny such idea was utterly
chimerical , tuns of thoulands of porions ,
mon , women and children , gathered along
tbo alleged route. It is useless to say that
tholr curiosity was not gratified. The
routes In the Habfkoscko market and in
Uoionlhal strasse showed the determination
of the mobs to resist the authorities to their
utmost.
Hour Moro I'otont Tlmn ( inoil Adtlcc.
The udvioa given to the socialists by tholr
organ , thu Vorwaorts , does not seem to have
had the excellent effect that was expected.
That paper appealed to the socialists tb act
In an orderly manner and to keep away from
the boor shops , but the appeal fell on un
heeding caw or eiso the Inlluonco of beer was
more potent than coed advico. All the police
available wcro concentrated tonight In tha
northeast districts of the city ,
After the fight In Kosenthulstrasso serious
collisions occurred in Brunnou and Frank
furter strasso.
As tbo rioting Increased the authorities
Issued an order calling upon the people to
close their houses and to remain Indoors.
This order , however , did not suOlco to kuop
the curious off the streets and many unof
fending persons must bavo suffered for tholr
Imprudence at the hands of the police.
WorkliiKiucn Join In the 1'ruy.
At a late hour tbo central authorities were
warned that tbo disorders wcro spreading to
Tegol , an outlying suburb , where a crowd ,
which was certainly not composed of loafer * ,
bad been lighting tbo polico.
Tbo mounted geadarmo company was oUo
called out in tbo NIer Barnlm district. '
Touleht closes with worno prospects for
tomorrow. Iho authorities , believing that n
spread of the rioting Is not unlikely , have
inkon extended precautions to moot ttin
trouble. All troops have boon ordered to ba
confined to tholr barracka and the dawn of
day la anxiously mvaitoJ. It U ballovol that
should serious disturbances occur tomorrow
It will bo necessary to appeal to the military
authorities for help. The pollca are tired
out with their struggles of the past throa
days and are In no condition to handle tha
situation energetically.
Origin of HIP Itlotft.
Tracing the immo.llato origin of riots it
will bo found In the appeal of the uuom *
[ iloyed masons to Burgomaster Frockonbock
lor employment In municipal wyrk. Itorr
Frockcnbeek declined to see tbo delegates
appointed by the masons , but Undnr Burgo
master X.o'il i-ecolvod them and declared that
the municipal authorities could not glvo
them work. Ho roforrcd thorn to tlerr
Blaiikcnstcln , superintendent of works. The
latter promised to use his Influence with
the contractor to have Berlin workliigtnan
who were the fathers of families given the
preference when opportunity for work
offered ,
It was doubted that this would bo of much
assistance to the men nud tholr families ,
many of whom wnro on the verge of starva
tion. A mooting at FrloJrlchsrhetn followed.
The solution adoplod by the mooting simply
declared that In view of the distress prevail
ing the stntn authorities might begin the
erection of now buildings as soon as possible
and thus furnish work for the destitute.
Williams' Adilrom Aililsl'ncl to the 1'l.imoH.
There is not a single word of truth in the
report that extreme socialise views were ot-
piossod and that the crowd donumlou that
the government furnish them with work or
broad. Only a respectful suggestion was
made that the condition of nffiiira required
extraordinary exertions on the part of the
authorities to alleviate the distress they
must know was prevailing. The sense of
the meeting , however , seemed to bo against
making n manifestation of any kind ,
The emperor's ' uddroas to malcontents to
emigrate 1ms added fuel to the llamos and
the end now cannot bo told , though it Is cer
tain that if the soldiery nro called upon much
bloodshed will follow.
Berlin is not alone In her troubles. Dis
tress is prevalent In every populous center
of Germany and thu cry for bread is clamor
ous. During the week bread riots have oc
curred In Dantsclo and Brunswtcic.
