Cable Special to TUB Hii.1 : No great
tidal wnxo of discontent swept down upon
the center of Paris from the heights of La
" \ ilntto today. The poxvers that bo of the
third ropub'Io ' xvoro not ovor-nxx-ed by the Im
posing demonstration of the injured tellers ,
nor tvus terror sti uck to the hearts of the
laxx'abidlng citizens of tills metropolis. The
slaughtermen proposed , but the police dis
posed , but the demonstrationfrom which i's
promoters expected suth grand results , Xvus
not far removed from n II i-.ico.
Hy mid-day La Vilotto presented n con-
ntantly animated appcannico nnd the police
\xcio there In strong forco. Sigh ecrs
wcro there in still larger numbers. The
ponce gnrcd nn the sightsccts and the sight
seers feasted their eyes on the policemen
ncnding Iho advent of the slaughtermen in
their might.
A little before 1 p m. M , Paulnrd , muni
cipal councillor , x\ho is the head nnd front
oi the aggrieved butchers , made a triumphal
entrance Into the square , followed by an im
posing a-ray of about a score of slaughter
men , whoso lounging mien and hands deeply
cxploiing their trousers' pockets xxero evi
dence of their llrin determination to bend
the government to their xvill.
I'olloxvcd by perhaps ono hundred police
men , the score of mntiifostnnts wended their
way doxvn tbo Kuo do Poubourg St. Martin.
Kti route the procession swelled until It be
came ut the Houlovurd do Stras
bourg perihnneo ono hundred strong.
Here an enthusiaRtiu policeman laid n bund
upon M. Paulnrd'H collar and bade him con
sider Inmsolf under arrest. M. Paulnrd
throw up his eyes to heaven , calling upon
the blue skto xx lines' ) the iniquity of the
proceedings , and an ofllcor do paix Informed
linn that ho might proceed on his way re
joicing. The pavements xxero all thn time
blacit with croxvds of spectators , xvho irnod
with udmirnllon on the intrepid band , xxhich
mareljcd xsith stolid tread At the Kuo Uu
Chateau d'Lau n hundred policemen headed
the advance force nnd impelled It to .yards
the o..stcrn iinlxviiy station. Some of the
slaughtermen , xvho exmcod n disposition to
fo"rco ttieir way through the opposing ranks ,
were at once arrested and ttieir com
rades consequently beat a philosophical
ietrc.it adjacent ctreots. The police xvept
in pursuit , but by a little ingenious design
ing the column gathered again on the
boulevard and tramped along taxvards the
Hotel do Ville The square fronting thu
cdillco xvus occupied in force by the police ,
nnd xvhen the butchers nrrlved they con
sidered it prudent to make themselves as in
significant as possible.
EM. Paulurd nnd lourtcon of their delegates
vraio allowed to proceed Into the Hotel do
Villo , 'vhoro they xvoiu received by M.
Dnrlot , president , and several other mem
bora cf tbo munlcip il council. M. Paulurd
produced n copy of the document sottinc
forth the rriox'ancis of the ox felling and
sheep killing coiporation. Over aovon hun
dred of the men wlio previously found
employ mont nt the La Viletto abattoirs
ran the document.xvero now idle in lonsc-
queneo of the ministerial dceico piolnbitlng
the importation of Gorman and Sxvias cattlu
nnd sheep. The fuver winch caused that
dec-ice had decreased ' . ' 0 per cent , and the
decree nail consequently no raison d'etre ,
moro paitlculaily because there weio ua j
means of preventing contagion and the sale
of infected moat.
Having received the assurance of M.JIJar-
lot that the municipal council would do the
utmost In its power to assist the slaughter
men , the deputation limited the Hotel Uo
Ville , its next bourne being the chamber of
deputies. M. Pnulnrd , us before , led the
way along the Avenue Victoria and Kuo do
Kivnll. At intervals along ttio route tbn
slaughtermen formed in ranks , with n
strong force of ( toiico following closely.
As the procession reached the Louvre the
croxx'd began to shout , "a bis Paulird , " to
which tlio butchers responded xvith cries of
"vivo Paulnrd , vivo la Houcherie " A litllo
beyond the Louvio the advance of the col
umn was Inoken by a cordon of police. 'Ilia
iiiuiiifostaiits made uo slioxv nf resistance ,
making a detour by side streets and con
volved towards La Place do hi Concorde ,
lleietheio wns r. strong force of police , and
just as the equaro xvas darkening xxith do
inoiistratoiu and sightseers , orders xvcre
u-iVi n to ellccta clearance. With a seiics ol
evolutions which xx'ould have done
credit to tlio most highly trained
rigiment in the xxerld the sergeants
de Villo moved forxvnul and outwards from
the point Ho La Concorde. At the approach
of their serried ranks the croivd full back
upon tlio Champs do Hlysoes , Kuo Koynle
and Kuo do Kivoli. Porn Umo not a slnulo
cix man xvas to bo seen around the obelisk
of the fountain. Meanxvhllo M. Pnahird and
other delegates had boon nlloxved to cross
the bridge to the Palais Hourbnn , xvhero
they xvero recelx'od by the republican depu
ties , xvho promised to bring their inllnouco
to bear upon the minister of agriculture.
Thus the great demonstration came to an
end. At no point on the xv ole route did the
demonstrating column , properly so called ,
number moro than U'JO ' strong. HIM xxns
probably due to the strategic police arrange
ments , by which buioro 4 o'clock Purls was
enabled to begin breathing again.

Thousands of persons gathered In U'llhclm

miirclc drnnm. As ho appcarod , wearing the
uniform of the cuirrasers , Hlsmnrck was
greeted with stormy enthusiasm. The win-
iiows of the houses In the vicinity were
crowded with spectators. The entire route
was a sen of waving handkerchiefs. Horses
were compelled to wain the entire distance
from tlio pat.ico to the station. A
number of other carriages filled
with friends nnd ndimroi-s closed the
nroccssion. When the party arrived at the
station all the ministers , the diplomatic
corps and the court mid state ofllcials were
waiting to bid farewell to the prince and
there was a great mass of people outside.
Mountains of bouquets for tlie prince and
princess were piled in the waiting rooms.
Hmnarek , in u hearty voice , bid all faro-
well. Phelps , the American minister , and
von ( 'apnvl were among the last to shako
his hand. Many tears were shed r.nd it was
altogether an affecting scene. At 5 10 the
train started amid icnowud cheering and
singing.
In connection with the regard evinced by
Hismarck for United States Minister PhcliM

'J ho appointment of Union Hiobensteln as
foreign secretary is regarded ns delinito.
Uiobenstcin was born in IS 12 He Is a hard
worker. This baron was formerly public
prosecutor and has never been in the
military service , though ho has had a
long career in the rcichstag. Ho IB
a good debater and has represented Uadon
in the bundesrath smco 1S33. Ho is an
nffablo man and a popular fuvorlto at court.
Ho has a strong tendency toward state
socialism. The Co'.ogno Gazette says that
ho is intimately acquainted with Prince
Hlsmart-k and his policy. His appointment ,
the paper says is a iniarnntco of continued
peace , llo will maUo no ehingo in the
diplomatic service. It is stated that the
emperor accepted Count Hismarck's resigna
tion with the L-roatest reluctance , because
Prluco Uismarok trained nobody but hU son
thoroughly in his policy and ideas. This
reason in many quarters is held to Justify the
ompaior's action .is an unticipitum
of the fast appro-idling inevitable retire
ment or death of Pinco UUmarck and the
necessary release of the ministers from the
Hismarekinn bondage and the Jealousy of
Count Herbert.
1 he llnal sitting of the labor conference
wns held today. Minister von Horiopsclt
mudo a lour address. Ho believed the dele
gates had arrived at decibions which would
form the basis of and develop the idoiof
protecting and securing the material and
moral \\elfaro of the workmir men and that
they had found a common standpoint for the
solution of social questions by individual
goxernmonts according to exceptional cir
cumstances. In conclusion tud minister
conveyed to the delegates the ompo'ors
thanks for their labors.
Tno address was greeted with loud ap-
plauso. Sir John Gorst tliankjd the em-
pi'ror for summoning the conference , the
issue of which had boun extraordinarily
giallying. Ho hoped this would not bo
their last meeting. When millions of
children were rescued from misery and
millions of women were restored to dotnes-
ti- lifo they would remember with tnnnkf'il- '
ness that this great good was initiated by
the empeior.
The conforcnro then closed. Its decision
\\ill soon bo published Many of them nl
ready have boon announced. Some of them
icconimcnd the optional establishment of
courts of nibitration and. the u'onoral ob
servance of Sun lay as a holld y in nil
trades , but where continuous work ib una
voidable u is recommended that each oin
ployo have at least eevry alturnnto Sunday
fico. Vaiious dolomites inado minor reser
vations , for mstnnco , tlio French delegates
did not insist that the day of rest should bo
Sunday , but none of these reservations affect
to any considerable extant the decisions of
the conference. N. Do la Hnyo on buhalf of
the Trench Socialists , handed in a statement
of his own views on the labor question
requesting that it might bo added to the
protocols ) . Dr. Kopp strongly supported the
request , which was agreed to.
Hmpcror William received M. Jules Simon
today , 'throughout the conference the em
peror treated the Pninch plenipotentiary
with marked distinction , this being the
great feature of tha meeting. Tlio workingmen -
men here and in other towns arc organizing

o\cr considerable trouble with organl/cd
labor this spring. In addition to the carpen
ters' demands , the jouinc.vnicn plumbers are
to the front with n request lor a general in
crease in salary nnd u half holiday on Satur
day. The master plumbers say this is simply
out of the question , nnd In nil probability
they will refuse thokconcosslons asked. The
Journeymen Plumbers' association , which
includes about one-hull the plumbers in Chicago
cage , has fixed upon April 1 ns the day for
llnal uctlon. Jf their demand Is not com
plied with they have concluded to go out on
a strike.
A monster organization that , will embrace
tlio men employed in the packing houses at
the stock yards will bo effected Sunday
afternoon. The question has been agitated
among the men for n long time , and the
necessity of organization has long been felt.
The packers formally belonged to the
Knights of Labor , but uftor the
disastrous ending of the strlko of
ITS" the packing house unions
disintegrated. The union which will bo
formed on Sunday Will bo started with fully
SOO members. The membership cnn bo In
creased until it reaches between 15.00J nnd
20.0CO men. This nuiuocr will Include the
cattle and hog butchers and the laborers
employed about the stocic jrurds and packing
houses. Hi u causes of dissatisfaction are
the low wages nnd irregularity of the work.
It is alleged by the men that the owneis of
the packing houses jdo not run during the
early part of the week so as to force down
the prices of cattle and hogs. A favorite
plan of the boss packers is said to bo to buy
live stock on Saturday , the owner not wish
ing to bear the expense of holding his stools
over Sunday. This plan Involves the labor
of the employes on Sunday , which is very
distasteful to thorn. This plan of operation
gives tlio employes but three or four days'
work of ton hours each. The
laborers get but 17 > cents an hour ,
and not infrequently have but two
hours' work a day. The butchers have but $12
to $11 per week. The union when organized
will demand eight hours for n day's work
nnd an increase of wageji.
Iho carpenters , who are preparing to de-
uiand eight hours for n day's work at10
cents an hour , the demand to bo made on
April 7 , arc daily increasing tbo strougth of

Among the many petitions being received
by men In congress from the farmers in
Kansas , Iowa nnd two or three other states
is one asking for n law to prohibit the fore
closure of mortgages on farms
A petition was today in duplicate received
hero from points in Kansas by members of
the delegation from that state which after
setting forth the fact of n financial depres
sion in Kansas and other states , caused m
pint by the heavy mortgage indebtedness ,
pravs that eongrcss shall cnict a law which
shall provide that "on and nfter the 1st day
of July. 1SOO , it shall not be lawful to
collect debts that are socuicd by mortghgos
upon real estate by the usual me'hods of
Jorcclofiuro , under the laws of the several
states , but the method of procedure und
collection shall be as follows :
1. "I'ho creditor holding the mortgage
shall proceed in person or by attorney or
lawful ropresontatlvo , to the ofllco of the
recorder of deeds where the mortgage is
recorded and there procure n coriect
abstract of tbo title of the estate held by his
tnoitgngo , including incumbranecs asked by
his claim or debt The register of deeds
shall certify to the correctness of slid
abstract and attach his signature. The
county clerk of said county shall nlso
examine nnd coi tify to the correctness of
said abstract and attach his * > cal and sipi.i-
turo ; provided , that after examination the
property is found to bo worth the full
amount of the mortgage.
Q. "It shall then bo the duty of the
creditor to proceed to the county treasurer's
ofllcc , where the slid abstract shall bo placed
permanently on lilu for future reference.
7 "On prcsontat ion of the said certified
abstract in the county treasurer's olllco it
shall bo the duty of ttio said county trcas
urcr to issue in duo form , on blanks pre
pared for the purpose , a draft for the
amount of the mortgage debt , including
inteicat and olUc-ial fees to date , on thu
treasurer of the United States. Said draft
bha.ll bo examined by the county clerk and
certified as coneet by Ins oflU'tal seal and
signature. Saul draft will then bo duo and
payable bv the treasurer of the United
States on demand of the lawful holder of the
same. Said draft must contain
an accurate description and location
of thu estate mentioned on the
abstract nnd the amount of the draft shall
be chat-god up against the said estate ,
creating a lawful lien on the sam ? . The
debtor shall now bo allowed twenty years on
the debt by paying interest promptly on the
satao seml-annuilly nt tbo rate of J per cent
per annum , these being the terms allowed to
national bnnkeis , during the twenty flvo
ears. 'I ho record of the mortgage sh ill bo
marked 'Settled by the United btati-s Gov
ern nicnt.1
1 "The procedure herein set forth shall
be the only lawful way for the collection of
mortgage debts until the aggiegate circula
tion of lawful money in the United States
shall amount to $ " ) ( ) per capita of the popula
tion , not counting thu lawful residue in the
banks and other lixed non-ciiculation de
posits icquirod bylaw. After said negro-
gate of 530 per capita of the papal ition s'nill
base been reached the usual modes of legal
piocedtiro in the several states will again
become lawful , except at such times ns the
increase of population bhull iciiuiro the
further flouting of now money to preserve
the even , unfluctuating aggregate of f5J per
capita ,
0. " 'Ihe said means of floating money nnd
of rclleymgdebtois shall not prevent other
legitimate means of coining nnd issuing in
order to facilitate the i caching and main
mining of the ucgrogate and the unfluctu
ating circulating medium heroin mentioned ,
nor shall itbu considered a bar or hindinncc
to private pAties who desire to pay their
own debts In their own way , by mutual con
sent.
7. "I'o enable tlio treasury of the United
Slates to meet the demands under this law
the treasurer shall bo authorised to ercato
and pay out on demand a nuflleievt amount
from time to time of United Slates troasurv
notes , receivable by the United States gov
ernment for all dues and legal tender for all
debts and taxes , and m order to chow the
amount of money alloat nnd its relation to
the populnMon it shall bo thu duty of the
United States treasurer to embody in ins
monthly rcnoi-U a caieful calculation of thu
whole population at the end of
onen month , computed on the basis
of known percentages of increase nnd
a Htatomunt of the money per capita afloat
at the end of each month. 'Ihesc reports ,
sent out monthly to the registers of deeds in
the se\ oral counties of llio United States ,
shall be nut hoi ity , indicating the mode of
procedure in the collection of mortgage debts
for the ensuing month.
8. "When mortgage dobls become duo nnd
pavablo itshall be the duty of the holder of
the mortgage to proceed to collection within
thiitydius , If the procedure is not com
menced within the said thhty days interest ,
shall cease on the said mortgage on thn day
on which by its terms the debt becomes due
and payable.
U. " This shall bo applicable to real estate
occupied as Individual or family homes and
to lands and lots occupied for industrial nnd
business purposes for family support. It
shall not be applicable to unoccupied or
unused landu. "

There will bo no trouble about securing
an appropriation for the construction of the
public building at Fiemoiit after congress
b/is passed the bill. I ho uppropqalion will
surely bo put into Iho tmndry civil , , appro
priation bill , piovlding the appropriation is
not incorporated in the bill authorizing the
construction of tlu building. The two
houses are divided on the question whether
bills providing for public buildings shall
carry with them the appropriation or simply
provldo for the construction of the buildings ,
the appropriation to be inado in the regular
sundry civil appropriation bill. The house
contends that the appropriations should not
go with the bllli providing for the construc
tion of the buddings , but should bo placed in
the sundry civil appropriation bill , while the
bennto holds that the appioprintlou should
bo made in the public building bills tiicm-
selves Iho i'ruuiont bill m now in tbo
hands of a conference i-uminilteo and if
the b.i : Bhyald pass wiiho.it the up
pruunation tiio suudry uv.l
tlon bill 31 will make the proper
provision , ns It is nn Imperative itilo that ap
propriations must bo made In the regular ap
propriation bills for the construction of pub
lic bulldlugs provided for in sep irate bills
which do not carry with them the appropria
tions.
A committee from Norfolk , represented
by Homo Miller nnd .1 , K. Hayes , will bo
heard by usub-committee nf the house com
mittee on public buildings and grounds on
next Monday morning lit support of thu bill
limiting an appropriation for a public build

will make their Initial speeches before a
congressional ejmmitleo on that occasion.

A careful canvass has been tiudo by ad
vocates of free silver coinnge on the question
of the adoption of the Windom bill
In the form in which it has
gene to the house from the com
mittee on cniniigc , wouhts nnd measures.
It can bo stated upon a > reliable information
as it is possible to obtain In conn-ess that
thin measure will become a law within throe
months. Hoth the scnnto and house com
mittees objected to two sections of the Win-
dom bill in its original form those giving
the secretary of the treasury discretionary
power to suspend the purciiaso of silver
bullion and limiting thu puii-haso to St.'oJ-
00. ) n mouth. 'I ho bill now contains neither
of theio provisions. It is unlimited free
coinugoot American silver. Already reports
from mining districts mo being received
to the cflect thattho outlook for thu adoption
of the measure is stimulating the silver in
terests.
The statement made the otnor day bv Sen
ator Paddock that tlicro aio { but fl'J ' per
capita in this country , has attracted wide-
spicad attention in comparison with thu
statement that Franco has $ . " > * for each of
its citizens. The statement Is m ulo in con
tradiction to that of Senator PaddociC that
there areS.'l per capita owned by tin ) gov
ernment in this country. Senator Paddook
intended to state if ho did not so stale that
there are but ? 1 ! ) nor cupitii in circulation in
tills country. It is true that this govern
ment owns as much as > l pel capit-i , but a
\ cry largo propoition of this monon piled
up in tno treasury and is not in en dilation.
It is thought tint the free coinage of silver
will very largely augment Iho ligincs ropro
scnting the money in circulation within the
next year and that the proipectof such 10
lief will bo nnticiiiteii | in b.nme-H tians.ic-
tions and that the aljioat immediate effect
will bos hewn in cuinmeiii 1 tiansaclion.

Intense interest continue * to bo shown
hero in the demands of t'.o farmers. Un
doubtedly the dcproision among the inhabi
tants of the i ural disti icts will attract moro
attention m congress than unv other subject

cut the most effective fig ire in the elections
tins fall that they lnvo ever maile. Their
demands for loghl it.on farther than pro
vided in thu tariff mil will oomm.im ! atten

of the farmers It is true th.it mon repre

sections in the south , whe.-e eoufudaratn and

tiou Is indeed a serious oaa to not only tha

The latter know that unions tney cii do
