tion was received from Hen Ulanchard ,
buck of whom Is n syndicate of
eastern capitalists , The proposition was to
construct hero n smelter on the plan of the
Grant smelter In Omaha , the plant to cost
( ,10,000 nnd employ not loss than 450 men
ten months in tno year.
The specifications for the machinery hnvo

over tlOO men.

Negotiations are about completed for the
sale of u body of DO.OOO acres of irrigated

AMUSEMIMTS.
What K blessed relief It U to turn from tbo
lurid vlco and hysterical virtue , from the ob
trusive paint nnd rasping rant of the average
melodrama to the intellectual delights bf
'Tho Struggle of Life" ns produced by Mr.
Frederick Paoldlngl The Omaha engage
ment began nt the Boyd last night , and the
production was- notable for both dramatic
mil scenic merit ,
The play Is an- old one , but it carries a
moral , which is developed In an action of
sustained Interest and abounding in strong
climaclo situations. Mr. Pauldlng has tonoci
down the melodramatic exaggeration and
dressed the play with mountings that are
gams of their kind.
It is a bit odd that an actor who has
achieved Mr. Pauldlng's distinction in tragic
roles should turn to melodrama , but tno puu-
lie with whom ho has bucn u favorite in the
legitimate may console itself with the
information that by this excursion Into the
heroics of common life ho Is merely pluming
his wings for higher illghts into tragedy.
Mr. Pauldlng brings to a rather common-
Dlaco role the arts of a consummate actor ,
the expressive play of a moailo f ace and the
magnetic qualities of a vibrant , resonant
volco tout is as clear as a bell und responsive
to the lightest snndj of emotion. His char
acterization is u finished piece of acting
worthyta star of the first magnitude.
Mr. Pauldlng Is supported by an excellent
company and ntdod by realistic scenery. The
action ot ° the play is placed in Now York.
The second act shows a view of the bay from
Battery park on a winter night , and it IB ah
exquisite piece of sconia work. The third
act gives a view of the exterior of St.
Patrick's cathedral on Fifth avenue , togcthor
wita a Vanderbilt residence and the Lung-
ham hotel. The fourth act has another beau
tiful scone and uses a double stage. It copies
a section of the East river , showing the ship
ping at a dock , and the mouth of a great city
sewer , through which tbo hero escapes from
a don of thieves.

Special to TUB BCE. 1 The Hornld's corre
spondent today had an interflow with M.
Lockroy , late minister of commerce , on the
subject of the new Frouch tariff , who said :
"Thoso protectionist tariffs will first oe felt
by the people of the largo towns. Mutton ,
for example , has alreadv gone up 30 centimes.
This foils hardest on the poor , with whom
mutton is the favorite moat , consequently
the effect of the new tariff will bo that the
laboring man will have to cut down the
amount bo eats , which will result In dimin
ishing the amount of labor he can do. Some
saloons have increased the price of beer.
Others have diminjshcd. the size of the glass1 ,
pretending only to use tbo sm.ulor glasses
for imported beer. Restaurant kqepers bave
alroadv held a meeting , at wh'lch it was dd-
cldod to augment prices on the ground ol the
new tariff.
"The government might Just as well tax
bread , and , by-the-by , it bus done so , for
there Is a tax on wheat floucr ; so bread will
Increase In price. Tbo tariff Is-also enor
mously Increased on winos. Another very
Injurious tariff is that on fruit , which will
rnako us lese a line supply received from hot
houses in Jersey and Belgium. Lobsters ,
crayfish and cheese uro also taxod. that on
chceso being especially hard on th"o' Workingman -
man , as Swiss cliccsi ; forms un Item , of his
every day consumption. In fact , nearly all
the food consumed oy the poor' inun is now
taxed.
"Ttio situation now Is that the worklncrman
will now find a living -and clothes dearer ,
and thut exportation u ill diminish , because
ether nations will no longer luivO advanta
geous commercial conditions for denlingii
\vitti us. Wo bavo already estranged
Switzerland , Spain , Belgium. "The onlv pee
pie who will gain by tho'new tariff are the
monopolists , big landed p'rcprlctorr and rich
manufacturers , but all their gain will be at
the expense of the poor and mlddlo classes.
Three-fourths of tho" farmers of Franco dc
not grow enough wheat for their own con
sumption. T hey will now have to buy 'what
they need at an increased prlco. I look upon
the present tariff as a great disaster to the
country and a stop backwards , for I consldm
It the duty of a democratic re public tc
aisuro for thu poor the cheapest possible
mode of living.
"It is your McICInley bill , " said M. Lock
rev in conclusion , "that has had much to dc
with bringing about theneW tariff here. "

the specifications wcro read to him. Thov
were very latigthy , and charged him with
appropriating to his own use , on various oc
casions , certain sums of money. The first
ctmriro summed up was for embezzlement
and violation of the articles of war. Thu
second charge also contained several specifi
cations nnd Accused the major of making
false vouchers and certifying tnem to bo Just ,
thus defrauding the government of different
sums -of monor. In effect , ho was said
to havn bought nil sorts of household
, goods for his own use and to have charged
them to the government us supplies ot
various sorts , the vouchers sent in being
fraudulent In i-ncli case. Among ether things
ho Is nccu ed of having placed his private

The total sum alleged to hnvo boon em
bezzled Is about foQU In small amounts , but It
Is clalniod by those who were active in bring-

Oftlcor Alexander Grant began before Supe
rior Jiulgo Troutt today. The court room
was crowded \vltli spectators. Ulstrlot At
torney Barnes opened up the case by stating
that about 1 o'clock on the morning of Sep
tember 11 Ofllcor Grant was sutn to turn into
Folsom street from Fifth utraot. He had a
prisoner under arrest , and took the south side
of the street. When near ttio mlddlo
of the block there was a sou 111 o followed by
thrco shots. Officer Grant fell to the side
walk nnd the prlionor escaped and ran to
Fifth street nnd turned .south. Ho was fol
lowed by another o nicer and arrested. Upon
his \vriils were Oftloer Grant's nippers. The
prisoner answered the description of the man
who had done the shooting. District Attor
ney liaruos concluded by sitylnc to the jury :
"Wo shall offer other testimony nnd show
you facts from which wo shall expect a ver
dict of Ktillty. "
During the address of lUrnos , Curtis sst
unmoved and apparently paid very llttlo at

gusllno Marcoval , an Italian vendor of tu-
mnllos. Ho wus considered by the prosecu
tion us ono of thelrmostlmportant witnesses.
As Marcoval did not understand Kugitsh
well an Interpreter was nocesssry. He tosti-
Iled ns follows :
'I saw Ofilcer Grant on Slxtu street at
ton minutes past 12 o'clock on the tno ruin it
of September 11. Grant was coming along
Sixth street with n man. The two men were
polng nlonsr side by side. Oftlcer Grunt was

worth of gold bullion which Hunk in i205
foot of water in tlio harbor thuro aomo
years ago. Captain Ryan will got half
of the treasure if ho succeeds in rais
ing it.
Mr. Ryan says the bullion was lost
overboard while being transferred from
one vessel to another , and that several
Japanese dlvora have attempted to raise _
it and throe or four of them lost their
lives in the undertaking , and that n
diver on a. British man-of-war also lost
hi.-i life in the rittompt. Ho bays that
li n ally the Japanese government has re
quested its cniibul at San Franulbuo to
make arrungamnnth with an American
diver , and promise half the treas
ure to anyone who xvill recover it. Cap
tain Ryan hoard of the matter and im
mediately wont to see the Japanese vice
consul at Seattle and made a proposition
to him , which was forwarded lo the
consul at San Prnnrlrico , nud Captain
Ryan expects an answer in a few days.
Captain Ryan suya that lie o ( To red to
go to Yokohama and rniso the bullion

cash hoforo starting , the expenses for
him and his thrco attendants pnid , and

antee that the amount of treasure stated
is really lost in not moro than forty-live
