[ Special Tele gram to Tin : Br.i' . ] It is now known for a tloilnlto certainty that Bank Wrecker Moshcr lins given up all idea of going to the peniten tiary for his crimes against the state and tin pccpl' ' who have trusted him with the use of their funds , and Is now Just as anxious to cacupo wltti a flue as he was to suffer Im prisonment two months ago. S. H Burnham , cashier of the American Kxchnngo National bank of this city , re turned today from Chicago , where ho was for the purpose of holding a conference with tlio Indicted bank president , Ho states that ho found Moshcr enjoying tlio best of health and in flno spirits. Moshcr stated to Burnham that ho had Just returned from a visit to Ills father and father-in-law in tlio interior part of the state , and that ho inatlc all ai-rnnBcinents with them for assist ance In retrieving the fortunes of tlio bank. Ho said that lie was now anxious to com promise with the authorities on the basis of n line Instead of imprisonment , and that lit ) wan in u position to pledge that If such an nrrningomcnt was made the depositors in llio broken bank wouldn't lose a cent. HUN Miiilu Ills P.luir Work. Mr. Burnham says that ho believed thai Moshcr is for the first tlmo In a position whcro lie can pledge the assistance of his relatives In case lie Is offered immunity from punishment in the shape of imprisonment. Burnham's Interview with Moshcr con firms the views of a large majority of the people of Lincolnwho have .ill along refused to believe that he was anxious to pay the penalty for his crimes. It is safe to say thai / not ono man in a hundred has belioveel Mosher's intense desire to go to the peniten tiary , but that on the other hand ho lias simply worked the grand blurt on his friends for the solo purpose of compelling his people to come to his assistance and keep him out of a felon's cell.

Tlio special com mlttce of thel'oformclubof this city has com pleted a draft of a bill which , when per fected , will bo urged upon congress as a sub stitute for the present tariff laws , and in fulfillment of the _ pledges under whicli democracy has obtained control of the na tional government. The general principles upon which the proposed tariff is formed in tlio main arc as follows : Crude materials in general are made free of duty. In taking other artie-lcs the general object has been to fix such rates as would produce the largest amount of revenue in a scries ol years consistent with largo importations , for tlio purpose of obtaining the largest revenue , however , limited by a considera tion of the welfare and necessities of the people at large , and especially the pooret clashes. All duties are made strictly ad valorem , except some of these which are levied as compensatory for internal revenue taxes- upon similar articles produced at home. In order to Insure the present administra tion an ad valorem tariff it is essential that rates of duty upon the great mass of articles should bo kept at very moderate figures. Upon many articles experience has shown that duties cannot bo raised above 2. > pel cent without Incurring dangerous incentives to fraud ; a few articles of luxury may ba excepted - cepted from the operations of these general rules. As to liquors ana tobacco , tlio duties upon them should bo made with a view to obtain- imr the greatest possible amount of revenue without any concern as to whcthcrrwo give or withhold protection to the domestic pro duccr. Yielding in part to popular opinion , that silk Is a luxury , wo placed silk manufactures generally at 20 per cent. Silk yarns , thread and sowing silk , is placed at 20 per cent , aud spun and thrown silk ut 15 per cent , leaving raw silk free. All forms of crude metal , not merely It : ores , but in pig iron , ingots and bars , will : the exception of iron and steel , are made free of duty. The eluty upon woolen and worsted manu factures of every description is placed at ' percent. Leather cloves and all other gloves , excepl silk , are pliie'cd at 2. > per cent schedule. Tin plato should certainly not bo tuxei' more tluin 20 per cent , and perhaps not more than IS per cent. Manufactures of wood in the most finished forms are placed in 20 per cent schedule , iu aiv also buttons , except metal or glass. Most provisions arc made free of duty but some , which partake in a mild degree thi nature of luxuries , are put in at 20 per cen : Schedule , while breadstulTs are mo-itly matti free. Potatoes are left subject to a duty o 1. % per cent. Domestic books could not bo admittce without the consent of this domestic pub lislier , and foreign books copyrighted hen could not bo admitted at all. On the ethel baud , so long us paper , binding material : and machinery were taxed it is not just U make compctine books five. The domain for revenue may turn tlio scale , and 10 pei cent will probably bo the revenue duty. \\ould bo exceedingly desirable to have no spi'cillc free list , but to make everything free which is not made expressly subject te duty. All articles upon which the revenue e-ollected is too small to pay for collection am upon which it is not prob-iblo that any men reduction of rates would produce substantia revenue are placed on the free list. We are satisfied that the proposed tnvif would produce an immediate revenue c § 120,000.001) , if not moro. If the existing eluty of half a cent pei pound on retlneit sugar should bo retained 11 is suggested that a spcciUV duty of seven sixteenths of 1 cent per pound might bo im posed on raw sugar , which would produce at additional revenue of possibly $15,000,000 besides roducinc the bounty $2,000,000. Ti this , however , mono of us are entirely opposed and three express no opinion. Tlii amount of revenue which would bo producci by such a duty is so largo as to make ti fill discussion of the propriety of the taj i.evessary. o TltlKIt Tl > HUH rilK H.IXO.

Thousands of strangers came to tlio city-today to attend the funeral of Jules Ferry. An immense mortuary chapel with tnvo and transepts had been erected in the court yard of Luxembourg. It was draped with black cloth , edged with silver lace and emblazoned with the mono gram of the dead statesman. The coflln , cov ered with a crimson and white p.ill , remained until 1 o'clock in tlio Sallo des Gardes , where the body lias lain in state , and was then removed to the catafalque. Shortly before the body w.is berne up the aisle the nave was illuminated by the lighting of tnc enormous silver candelabra and hundreds of tapers were placed in slnglo lines on each side of the row of flaming cressets , which extended to the right and left before the platform. Already , at It o'clock , tlio per sons having invitations had begun to arrive. Thcro were Judges , cabinet ministers , gen erals , diplomats , senators , deputies , authors , naval oflicers. many of them with wreathes , sheaves and floral crosses , which they laid around the collln. The municipal authorities came In a body , followed by delegates from scientific , mili tary and literary associations. Every de partment of the national and municipal gov ernment was represented. Outside the cata falque were the soldiers drawn up along the approaches and tlio military bands played diivcs as tlio great throng llllod the chapel and grew dcnso around the entrance. lOnloirl/.ed the Demi Statesman. At 10 : ! ! Senator nardoux ascended tlio platform. In an eloquent oration he eulo gized M , Ferry as a statesman of great intel lectual power , inflexible character and un wavering patriotism. Senator BurJoux was followed by M. Caslmir-Pcrriere. president of the Chamber of Deputies ; M. Meline , the president of the council , general of the Department of tlio Vosgos , all of whom spoke of M. Ferry's courage , patriotism and sterling integrity. M. Klbot spoke at the greatest length and with evident emotion. Ho said of Ferry : "Ho of mature and unerring was a man judg ment. Ho had a supreme contempt of undcr- hanJ expedients in public or private life. Ho had that elevated disdain of malicious att.icks from his opponents which made him a man worthy and qualified to direct the politics of his country. " In closing M. Uibot expressed the expectation that the hope ut tered by M. Ferry in his inaugural address as president of the Senate of seeing an undi vided Franco rally round the standard of the republic would bo realized soon and the na tion would march forward on the road of progress the better and more aspiring for having had a leader of such noblity as M. Ferry. The conin , covered with the tricolor , was placed on the funeral car and escorted by in fantry , cavalry and artillery was berne from the Luxembourg. It w.is followed by an al most endless procession through streets which were tilled with uncovered crowds. Balconies and windows from tlio Luxembourg to tlio railway station were thronged with silent men and women. At tlio station the troops pressed back the crowd and formed double lines between which tlio coflln was carried to tlio tram for St. Denis. There was no disorder during the services or on the way to the railway station , although the police had expected and pre pared for n hostile political demonstration. CUM.HKNTS ON TUB VKKUICF.

[ Now York Herald Cable Special to THE Bcn.1 Public opinion is busy with the verdict in the Panama trial. Of course opinions vary , and to a considerable degree , yet the majority believe firmly that the judge had much to do in bringing about tlio result. The verdict of the Jury con demns M. Balhaut because ho was proven guilty of corruption , but It acquits the par liamentary members because there were against them only suspicions. M. Charles do Losseps was condemned to the minimum penalty solely on account of his connection with Balhaut. It was not possible to punish the bribery , when bribery was not proven. Such are some of thoopinions freely given. Tlio condemnation of M. Charles do Les- sops is deplored by everybody. With few exceptions his acquittal was hoped for , because of the way ho had berne himself on the trial and tlio intellectual power ho had displayed during the ordeal. But the general opinion above all in par liamentary circles is that tlio verdict par ticularly condemns tlio political corn-so of tlio government. The deputies express theit belief that the ministry is guilty of having stirred up a soindal. and ol having pursued the members of the Chambsr without having absolute proof against them. Nobody ap proves of the action of the ministry , which will fall tomorrow upon a vote in the Chamber. Nobody , not oven tlio ministers themselves , doubts the outcome of the ses sion. Therefore wo shall have after this Panama trial a political crisis caused by the Judicial proceeding. When It Is over the public will begin to grow weary of the intormlmblo business. Wo have had crises enough and they are the expression of the uublic con science. JAC-QUW ST. CUKE. ANOTIIKH IUi CANA1 , SCI1KAIK.

Under the pressure of an excited and irate house he had stated lie would bring the proof to day. day.This This morning T had an interview on the subject with one who knows the workings of the anti-Semitic camp. "Herr Ahlwardt will not bring any proofs. " ho said. "Ho will say lie cannot get them ; that they have been abstracted by the po lice. " Tlio proofs to which lie referred are the letter press books which were stolen from Miguel , whicli refer to certain stock transac tions. They are in possession of Glaugau , a well known anti-Semite. Short sc'srtlon of the. House. After the president had reid the minutes Herr Kichter rose and said : "I do not see Ahlwardt present. " The house laughed loudly , but Ahlwardt , who is very .small. wa present. He rose and came down the passage between the seats , bearing under his arm throe folios covered with blue paper , and mounted tlio tribune ) , amid the siionco of the expactant house. Ho said ho had some of tlio proofs with him , but hart not been able to find the most important ones at homo. At this the laughter was mingled with derisive cries. Ahlwardt sugcsted ho should , withdraw the papers ho hud brought , but the presi dent decided when onjo they had been placed on the table they became the property of tlio house , which thoroupsn , in spite of Ahlwardt'b protests , decided to adjourn for an hour in order to give a commUsion time to examine the papers , also Ahlwardt. Ills nilort In Vnln. After the adjournment excitement once moro ran high , but Ahlwardt's dejected ap pearance and Kichter's smiling face told the tale. The commission had decided to think there was nothing compromising in the papers. Caprlvi touched his head significantly , as though hinting Ahlwardt was a little crazy , while Miguel , with an air of relief , throw up his gray hair with his right hand. Members chcercel vociferously. Ahlwardt mounted the tribune again. What cared ho for the house ? He was speaking for the crowds outside. He posed as a martyr who had been betrayed by the refusal of the house toglvohlm time to bring Ills proofs. Ho waSVlever and glib , and tlio house forgave him much , for ho made them lauch incessantly. The Ahlwardt debate lasted five hours.

What a contrast when Ahlwardt with a smiling face , with his wife on his arm , issued from tlio doorway of the Heichstag into tlio open air. A great cheer rose from the thou sands assembled , and who liad been wait ing there all day. These cheers completely drowned a few hisses that greeted Ahlwardt on tlio steps. Ho expressed himself very happy over the results of the day's proceed ing. ing.IIo IIo must bo easily pleased , for never in tlio annals of tlio German Parliament has a man been so unmercifully lashed by the tongues of almost every party ; never has a man suf fered such crushing defeat. Never has such a total rout been nearer to complete victory , owing to the extraordinary nerve and audac ity of this man , who , for two days , lias kept the Reichstag in a state of excitement it has not known for years.

There was a largo at- tcndnnco and much excitement at the open ing of tlio Heichstag in expectation that Rector Ahlwardt would produce the docu ments which ho claimed would show fraud ulent practices by Bismarck with Hebrew financiers by which tlio government had been swindled out of enormous sums Immediately on the opening of the body , Ahlwuldt said ho wished to lay a few papers on tlio table. There were ex cited cries demanding that ho furnish the house with all thedocumcnts , cloven in num ber , which ho vas yesterday directed to fur nish.

Upon tlio reas sembling of tlio house ho stated that the committee had carefully examined the docu ments submitted to it. but had found nothing to prove the assertions of Hcrr Ahlwardt. Ahlwarelt again arose and reiterated his promise to produce after Kastcr tlio other documents In his possession , among which ho said was a letter from the president of tlio Senate to a foreign court expressing thanks for money sent to the German government. Hcrr von Lovctzow , the president of tha Roichstiig , hero forbade Hcrr Ahlwardt to refer to documents that ho had not produced for the Inspection of the house. Speeches were made bv a number of mem bers , all of whom , without i regard to party , condemned Ahlwardt for the charges ho had made with no apparent proof to support his assertions.

Hcrr Rli-hter state-d that ho greatly ro- jolccd that the parliamentary system cm- abled them to make such short work of Ahl wardt and his charges , which proved his want of moral stability. Herr UK-liter's re marks were several times Interrupted by ap plause. Barou von Matiteuffel said the members of tlio e-oiiset vatlvo piirty agreed that Ahl wardt's conduct in this matter was unpre cedented in the annals of tlio Reichstag. This remark was received with applause" . Dr. Liebcck , on behalf of the centrists , declared that that party concurred in the opinion of the matter cntertailied by the conservatives. Ahlnardt attempted to make n defense of liis actions , saying : " 1 have struggled only for the truth. " but his voice was drowned by laughter , derisive cries and yylls. Ho remained stnndimr , however , and when a semblance of oiilcr was restored , he said : "I cannot withstand the violence of the Reichstag " Dr. Stockcr , n noted antl-Semltn. said the blame really rested upon the electors who considered Ahlwardt lit to sit in the Reichs tag.
