1885.
A DAY IN TANUIHKS.
The Women in the Market l'luco and
in the Harems.
High above me I behold the buildings
and "walls of Tangiers. The blue
Mediterranean dashes its waves against
a ruined mole and a temporary pier tor
the accommodation of travelers. Every
thing is different from European scenes.
Wild flowers grow in profusion on the
roots and old walls. tlio bright blos
soms of tho cactus glow in the sun
light. The prickly pear attains the
size and height of trees, and in inanv
places forms arches beneath which
ride Moors and others mounted on
mules or donkeys. Tlio natives eat
the fruit, cuttting each pear from its
stem with twine.
Just below the hotel and outside
the gate of tho city is tho soko or mar
ket place. On Sundays aud Thurs
days it is filled with a motley crowd,
who bring game, meat, eggs, fowls and
other provisions from the surrounding
country. It is here that Gibraltar ob
tains its supplies. The noise and din
in tho market place is infernal. At
least, 5,000 tongues are at work. You
.an hardly force your way through the
crowd. Once on the outskirts you are
lost in great herds of cattle and strings
of loaded donkeys from Barbary.
These creatures carry wonderful loads.
They look small by the side of the cam
els. These animals, relieved of their
loads, are lying down in a circle with
their fore legs tied together. Near
them are numbers of goatskin tents,
filthy in the extreme and only high
enough to sit under. Tho confusion is
terrible. Some of tho men are bang
ing on drums, aud others aro playing
the khutah, which is infinitely worse
than the Moorish drum.
Women, whose faces were covered
with tho exception of one eye, crouched
on tho ground near by, selling bread.
The magnificent Moor, in flowing white
robe and spotless turban, strutted ma
jestically by, not deigning to cast his
haughty glance at us. The streets
swarmed with children in various cos
tumes. Tho small shops wero packed
with men sitting cross-legged. Above,
below, around and beneath there was
dirt of every description. Fortunately
for us, tho viler smells had been tem
pered with recent rains. In summor
the stench is said to be almost un
bearable. Here you see the genuine Bedouin
Arab. Wild and dirty as he is, ho is
clean when compared with tho horrid
looking men from tho Itiff coast, de
scendants of the old pirates. They aro
wild and untamed, and liercer than
wild animals. They do not even cover
their heads. Their heads are closely
shaved after leaving a lock by which
they fervently believe Mohammed will
pull them up to Heaven.
A few years ago an English lady
married a Moor holding a high position
in Tansiers. He promised that she
should be his only wife, but since then
he has espoused four other women.
Sho is allowed to walk out, but not un
less 6he is guarded. If she left him,
she could take uothingwith her. If ho
sent her away she would be entitled to
an income of JL2.00J in cash. 1 he poor
thiu" is a virtual prisoner. We have
received an invitation to visit her, and
shall accept it. Yesterday we were
guests in two Moorish harems. The
inmates gave us a very une reception.
The gloomy appearance of the outer
walls contrasted strangely with the in
side of the house. The halls were
tiled. Marble pillars, bright colors
and rugs gave the rooms a bright ap
pearance. Mattresses were laid on
the carpets in apartments facing the
courtyard. They were the bedrooms
of the wives. There were no windows.
E ich wife leaves her slippers at the en
trance of her bedroom. We saw no
chairs, and only an occasional cushion.
The wives prefer to recline or sit on
the floor. Une or two sat on sneep
skins.
In the first harem I saw a widow
with seven children, all girls. Two
were piaing aud two were newing.
None of the giris had ever seen a man.
On Fridays only the widow is allowed
to go to the Moslem Cemetery to weeP
and pray over her dead husband. V e
were offered coffee and cakes. Etiquette
required that we should drink four cups
of coffee and eat as many cakes. Our
visit was made very early in the
morning.
The poor wives seemed glad to aea
us. ihey admired our dresses and
called each other's attention to what
took their fancy in the way of jewelry.
They were dressed gayly, hut tbej bad
a sloven It look and an ungraceful walk.

KFFKt.T OF T1IK l'KKHK.NT TAItlFK.
Washington, April 20. Mr. Mm
mo, Chief of the Bureau of .statistics,
on Saturday handed to the Secretary
of the Tre.iMiry his rcKirt hi regard to
the operations of the Turiff act of March 3,
ls:'. It appears that that act caused a re
duction of iibmit .six per cent in t'to average
ad valorem rate of duty on the imports. In
detail the changes were ns follows: Sugar
uud molasses, a reduction of U.ii-J per cent.;
iron and steel and manufacturers thereof, a
reduction of C. 15 percent; clothing wool,
a reduction of '..&$ per cent; comb
ing wool, a reduction of 11.27 jier cent; car
pet wool, a reduction of 6.01 percent; man
ufactures of wool, a reduction of 4..VJ per
cent; manufactures of cotton, an increase
of 1.0-i per cent; manufactures of silk, a
reduction oj 8.82 percent; earthen and china
ware, an increase of Y.i.ll percent; glass
and glassware, an increase of l.utf percent;
spirits and wines, an increase of 18.2(1 per
cent, and mult liquors, a reduction of 511. Gl
per cent. 1 he report, which is a document
of seventy-two pages, embraces a somewhat
elaborate statement iu regard to the changes
in ad valorem rates caused by the ta
riff act of March tf, lass," and by
Hi.; fall in tho import prices of commodi
ties. It contains also a considerable
amount of statistics, and other information
in regard to the production of sugar, iron,
wool, manufacture of Silk, and of spirits
and wines in the United States. The re
port nets with some particularity of pro
duction in the United States of three great
classes of wool known to our laritr laws,
namely, clothing, wool, combing wool and
carpet wool, and the extent to which these
kinds of wool are used in the manufacture
of worsted and wooleu goods, hats, carpets
uml other articles.

GREAT HAVOC.
IIavana, April 30. Early Tuesday
afternoon the whole city was shaken by a
terrible concussion. Tlio streets were tin,
mediately tilled with frightened people
who believed the city had been visited by
ar earthquake. It soon became known,
however, that the powdor magazines at
San Jose, on the opioslte side of the hay,
iiad exploded The first explosion occurred
in the magazine adjacent to the arsenal,
iu which was stored a laro numter
of grenades and sheila The force of
the explosion drove missiles into
the gas works, mid all gas-holders of the
Havana Cms Light Company, and all but
oue of the old uus company, wero broken.
The second shock, which was heavier than
the first, u.is caused by the explosion of
tlie Has. It is impossible :is yet to s iy how
many persons weie killed or wounded.
Several bodies ha o already been
e.-uinl. It is known that there
were iu tho iuaia.imi department
twenty soldiers mi I an artillery otlicer who
had been occupied for several days iu re
moving H)wder. The militny hospital,
San Ambiusio Arsenal, and other buildings
in the uci;hlorlioo.l suHerc I the most dam
age. In ll.ivami, balconies, windows and
shutters fell to the ground In almost every
street within tho custom house wall, while
the hospital at San Lazaro suffered severely.
IjO.mmi.n, April :0. The English fruit
growers are iu serious trouble, and America
is likely to be called upon for even more
than her usual contributions iu this line this
year. A month ago the fruit-growers and
truck farmers, esieeially through the south
of Kngland, were jubilant over tho splendid
condition of their prospective crops, which
were at the middle of .March, owing to the
mild weather that iiad prevailed, as far
advanced as they usually are at the
middie of April. This very fact, how
ever, has now proved their dosuuction, for
thero have been some biting liosis wiihiu
the past few nights which have caught the
fruit without the hardy covering with which
It is usually provided at this time of the
year, and the result has been that there is
now a general blight in the southern
counties. The general estimate among ex
perienced men iu the trade is that the blight
has it fleeted about fifty per cent, of the
growing fruit, and Hint not more thau half
a crop will 1)0 gathered.
(ii.A.suow, April 'VX Tho greatest strike
of ship-builders on record has been Inaugu
rated here. For some time past the Clyde
shipbuilders have been talking of reducing
wages, and the men, ono and all, expressed
the determination of going out should
the contemplated cut lie attempted.
The i nnouueement of a ten per
cent, reduction iu waces was made,
ami 12,000 men quit work. There
is every prospect of along and bitter strug
gle, as business is so dull that the employers
say it is iiiiKssible to go on at tho present
rate of wages and make money, aud the
men declare they can live on no less than
they have been receiving.
London, April :!0. The comprom'so

The I -ate Conmil-deiioral to Cuba lo an
Opeo Letter Formally Accuses the State
Department of Many Corrupt Practices.
New Yoke, April 29. Tho 'Mlnme
contains a letter from General Adam
Ihideau. He says In substance that liaving
become disgusted at the action of the State
Department In persistently screening cor
ruption and at the same time negotiating an
improier and ftijurious treaty with
Spain, he laid the facts before
the President In telegrams sent on
February 20 and March 22. Receiving
no reply beyond a mere acknowledgement
of Ids dispatch, lie a,'ain telegraphed Presi
dent Arthur, requesting that lie bo called to
Washington to substantiate the charges.
No reply was received to this, and he there
fore repeatedly tendered his resignation,
but no attention was paid to this until at
last he notified the President that unless his
resignation was accepted ho should appeal
to the people of the United States. He
then received a dispatch announcing tho
acceptance of his resignation, whereupon
he came to America. General Jtadeau then
says in his note:
I now eliario tho Slate IM-piirtinent with
