BCNA-FIDE CIRCULATION. A reference to the state ment below will show that the circulation sworn to is a bona fide one. It is easily possible for a newspaper witii an elastic conscience to swell its lefiit imal.e circulation enor mously, in order to deceive advertisers, by sending out thousands of papers to news stands, which are re turnable, and which are in fact returned, but neverthe less are included in -what purports to be an honest .statement of circulation. Intelligent advertisers, however, judge by results, and bogus circulation don't give them. The family circulation of The Times is many thou- ' sands in excess of any other Washington paper and is believed to be fully " two times that of its afternoon contemporary. Ine circulation or THE TIMES for the veek ended May 29,1696, wasas follows: Saturday, May 23 4r,582 Sunday, Ma 24 24,998 Monday, Hay 25 45,063 Tuesday, JlaT26 46,558 Wednesday, May2r 45,307 Thursday, May 28 64,60?

A" cipjinrtunlty to assert Its power ap pears to the British government to lutve jitcsented Itseir. Tclnei Asuford, a Brit Jali subject exiled from Hawaii for par ticipation In -a cmisplraey to overthrow the present government, bJt now a resi dent f Ban Francisco, wants to return there. Application being made on his be half by Great JJritain, permission was j-c- fuscj by tlie Hawaiian authorities, und now the threat is made that jVshford shall land even IT It Is necessary to send him to Honolulu on board a British war tes sel and enforce his landing under the shadow of British guns. It is easy to sec how complications might arle from the resentment or tlie Hawaiian government, and the insistence of Great Britain, by mc.ius of -which an opportunity could be afforded the latter to gam a footing which she would not lis slow to retinijnlsli. It is reported that in the ient Great Britain attempts so high handed a piece of business as is reported to be her In tention Hawaii -will implore the .aatlst ance of the United States against the vio lation of her authority and dignity. Should it come to this pass this government can hardly refuse to Jntcrferf, for, although the present administration, especially the boss of it, feels very sore over Its failure lo reinstate "Queen Ul and acL-ompUsh the overthrow of the young republic, It -would not dare to stand idly by and see Great Britain grasp another feeble country by the throat and throttle it as a prelimi nary to rob It of its possessions. Were the I'-rcsident to refuse to take action It would only add another -weight to the load of obloquy which, on account or his course toward Hawaii, is now resting upon him. It matters little "whether Ash ford goes to or is kept away from na-wati, but it matters miiili that Great Britain shall not be permitted to gain a still firmer fotting in the Western Hemisphere. FRENCH OX GOHED. The 'French government finds a dose of its own medicine er bitter, and pro tests against k allowing It. even though it is administered by France's historic friend, the United Plates. France has made the most stringent laws and regulations against the importation of American cattle, the pretext being defective inspection on this side, and consequent danger from disease: the 'real reason, however, being the sharp rxmpelillou our excellent beef makes rur the Inferior native article, and the lessen ing of profits for French tt!c-raiscrs. This action is virtually prohibitory, so far as the Importation of Americnn bref is concerned, and the United States has retaliated by interdicting the shipment of French cattle for our ports. The first case basarisen, and the French government Las cutercd protest. Germany and Switzerland are in the same Ik with France. These countrlesalso arc named Jn the proclamation Issued by the President about six months ago, be ta tiic thcy.too.discrlminatcdagalust Amer ican cattle, and the retaliatory policy au thorized by the tariff law of 1S94 was put in force. French cattle arc notoriously af flicted with diseases of various kinds, and jet the French government objects to a rigid inspection of those intended for ex portation, though imposing It upon foreign beeves.' There is no other way than that pursued by the President to bring the gov ernments of Europe to a realization of the fact that a fair exchange is no robbery and tit for tat a policy as well adapted to na tions as to individuals. THE CUAKITV .SCHEDULE. ConiiaralUcly little difficulty Iris Lcen experienced by the conferees on the Dis trict appropriation 1.111 in coming to an agreement on most of the items in dispute. The appear. however, lohavelockcd horns over the charity schedule, and reeling bound bythe very positive expressions of the respective branches of Congre-son two c-senlinlly antagonistic, propositions.

The Sen ale reversed this and reinserted the indi vidual Mliedule. BolhUouse.indSeiiatearc linn in their insistence upon their respect ive .-.ction. It is not proposed at this stage of the proceedings to discuss the merits of either one of the policies, save to suj' thatit does not 6Cem advisable to plneeauy more power or discretion in the hands of tl.c local trl ocracy than is absolutely necessary. What the people of the District are specially In; terested in is that none of the cliantahle institutions shall be crippled In its opcra tions for lack of support. Tel this -will surely be the result of a deadlock on, this part of the appropriation bill. The remain ing days of the present session arc but few. If all the other appropriation bills arc got ten out of the ivay, and the District bill should !c the only one pending, the con ferees might throw the "whole charity schedule out rather than prolong the ses sion simply on its account. In such a contingency the most -deplorable resultswonId Lc sure to liappeu. In fact, it Is impossible to ft rcsec or fore tell the misery which would follow in the wake or failure to rpnkc"appnpr!ation for the various charitable associations and Institutions enumerated in the Senate amendment.

About midnight Mr. and Mrs. Hrinkhousc were awakened by a noise In their bedroom. The ftrst -thing to meet their gaze was a man standing nt the bu- -reau. He was searching the drawers and carried a dark lantern. Thinking discretion was the better part or valor, neither Mr. Dnnklioase nor bis wire pretended that they hud been awak ened, and the burglarious visitor continued his operations In ignorance that his every movement was being chwsly watched. Occasionally he would approach Hie bed to see K the occupants were sleeping, and hemg apparently satisfied, would rcsmne his search.

After a se vere journey over tlie lava fields from Kohala, she reached Knilun on the 13th or May, complaining or pains in the chest. She, however, proceeded the next day to Kaawhaloa, ten miles distant, where she hecame prostrated and was subsequently conveyed by steamer lo this port.arnvlng Just lu time to expire, nt 2 05 p. 111., among friends, soon after landing, on the 19tb Instant. The obsequies were conducted next day In a crowded assembly at the Central Union Church. Floral testimonials were contrih utcd by Mrs. President Dole and a score of prominent ladies. Tlie press rurnished a large floral ornament. The casket was de posited in the family vault of John n.rntey, awaiting orders rroru home. The deceased lady was fifty-ftvc years ot age.

Prof. Dewnr, In a lecture before tho Rojal Society, In discussing the iios.-lbill-ties of synthetical chemistry which havu been disclosed oy thu electric furnace, slated that rrom the carbides prepared in the electric furnace we can get benzine, and, therefore, all thu "aniline dyes, ana even crude petroleum. Acetylene gas. an other product ot the electric furnace, combines directly with nitrogen lu the presence of np electric discharge, and gives prusslc acid, nnd from this we can readily get cyauide's.
