GLORIES IN HIS ACT Anarchist Breton Says: ‘The People Are a Wretched Lot.” HANS VON BULOW, PIANIST, DEAD ee Admiral Da Gama in a Critical Condition. GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS ? Te ef ero PARIS, Feb. 13.—Leon Breton, the an- archist waiter who lust night threw a bomb into a cafe situated beneath the the St. Lazare behaves with the most cynical effrontery. When asked this morning if he had ever before appeared in @ police court the prisoner sneeringly re- marked: “It is not my custom to fre- quent such places.” In answer to further questions Breton said that he had fired his revolver at the Police because in chasing him after he had thrown the bomb they drew their swords against him. The prisoner was here interrupted by one of the policemen, who exclaimed: “You fired on us when we were the persons pro- tecting you from being torn to pieces by the people.” To this Breton replied: “That proves that the people are a wretched lot. In any case, whether I die now or two months later, dces not matter a straw to me.” The prisoner then resumed a coarse, chaffing tone and seemed to glory in the notoriety which he had earned by his desperate conauct of last night. ‘Twenty Persons Injured. It is now estimated that twenty or more Persons, were injured by Breton’s bomb and that five perscns were wounded by the revolver shots which he fired while being pursued by or struggling with the police. Among the injured persons in the cafe was M. Beck, architect of the chamber of deputies, who is wounded in the arms and legs, gnd a man named Van Heer, who has eight bullet wounds in his leg. An- other man named Michel is wounded by pieces of shell. Crowds of persons are visiting the neigh- borhood of the cafe today and the police have their hands full in keeping back the curious and answering the questions of the Inquisitive. The interior of the cafe resembles a place swept by a cyclone and : the center of attraction to Parisians to- lay. The bomb is said to have been in the form of a sardine box, and to have been filled with nails, pieces of horse shoe and scraps of copper. When questioned last night in regard to his crime, Breton said, among other things: “I am an anarchist. The sooner the bour- geoisie burst up the better.” After the explosion the police arrested @ man who was found trying to conceal himself about the street lazare railroad station, and who refused to give his name. He is believed to be an anarchist, and may possibly turn out to be an accomplice of Breton. The latter was once a waiter in the cafe into which he threw the bomb, but he had been discharged. At a cabinet council held today last night’s bomb outrage was discussed, and attention was also drawn to the manifes- tations during the last few days Vail- lant’s grave. Anarchists, socialists and others have been marching to the cemetery where the anarchist’s remains are interred, and have been placing flowers and wreaths upon the grave. The cabinet finally decided to forbid all such manifestations as the carrying of seditious emblems to any cemetery. Newspaper Comment. All the newspapers comment at length upon the latest bomb outrage, and demand that the government adopt the most rig- ous measures to prevent such occurrences. The Journal Des Batts, for instance, says that the present laws are evidently not sufficient to deal with anarchists, and the Estafette says that the time has come to eeely organize a system of social de-| fense. . Policeman Poisson, the officer who first | attempted to arrest Breton, and who is suffering from four revolver shot wounds inflicted by the,anarchist, has been decorat- ed with the cross of the Legion of Honor. The prefect of police today took the cross to the hospital where Poisson is lying in @ critical condition. The other policemen who assisted in the arrest of the desperate anarchist will receive as a reward for their sums of money. ADMIRAL DA GAMA’S WOUNDS. His Condition So Critical That He «May Die. (Copyright, 1804 by the Associated Press.) RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb. 13.--Admiral Saldanha Da Gama, the rebel commander, who was wounded in the neck and arm during the battle of Armacao on Friday last, is in a critical condition. It was at first supposed that the admi- ral's wounds were insignificant, but now it is said that he is so seriously injured that he may die. Every effort is being made to save the admiral’s life. LONDON, Feb. 13.—The Times, comment- ing upon the news from Brazil, says: If the rebels could add Santos and St. Paulo to the places they already occupy they would be able to press for recognition as belligerents in a way which even the most punctilious of Americans would find it diffi- cult to refuse, and once they are recognized the surrender of Rio Janeiro would be a mere question of time. HANS VON BULOW DEAD. The Distinguished Germa: Pianist Has Passed Awa: CAIRO, Feb. 13.—Hans Von Bulow, the distinguished German pianist, is ead. ‘Von Bulow was born on January 8, 1830, in Dresden. He studied under Richard Wagner and Liszt and was in 1850 musical chief of the Theater of St. Gall and Zurich. In 1854 Von Bulow settled in Berlin and was named, in 1858, pianist of the prince royal. In 18M4, at the invitation of Wagner, Von Bulow went to Munich, where, in 1867, he became director of the new royal school for music and master of the chapel of the court. Hans Vcn Bulow visited the United States in 1875 and afterward became chapel master in Hanover, later in Meiningen and lastly in Berlin, where his severe criticism of the administration of the opera caused his sppointment to be revoked and even led to his expulsion from the building. The dead pianist married a daughter of Liszt. Wants to Hypnotize Mrs. Maybrick. LONDON, Feb. 13.—Prof. Tyndall, the expert in hypnotism, who has recently re- turned from the United States, has ad- dressed a letter to the home secretary, Mr. Henry Asquith, asking for an interview with Mrs. Maybrick in her prison, in order that he may try to induce her to consent to be hypnotized, and thus, if possible, estab- lsh her innocence, A Prussian City Flooded. BERLIN, Feb. 13.—A dispatch from Konigsberg, East Prussia, says that the River Preget, on which stream Konigs- berg is situated, is swollen by the vecent heavy rains and that the town is partly flooded. The dispatch adds that the fire- men and engineers have displayed con- siderable bravery and activity during the flood and that they have succeeded in sav- ing many lives and a large quantity of live stock. Overwhelmed by an Avalanche. LONDON, Feb. 13.—A dispatch to the Daily News from Berne, Switzerland, says: The exceptional mildness of the weather has caused several avalanches. By one of these three chamois hunters who were try- ing to scale Spitzfluh were overwhelmed and two of them were killed. Some Turio Kotel servants who were sent to inspect a small hotel at the summit of the moun- tain at Saentio have not returned. A search party was organized to rescue them, but they found their progress barred by an enormous avalanche. It is supposed that |‘ the men are buried beneath it. Rumored Sinking of a Veusel. LONDON, Feb. 13.—In response to a re- quest from New York to investigate a re- port that the Hamburg-American steamer Augusta Victoria, which left Hamburg Feb- | jand Abraham, ruary 11 for New York, had foundered in- quiries have been made. No news in re- gard to any catastrophe to the Augusta Vietoria had been received by the Lloyds or, as far as can be learned, by any other institution or person in this city. A dispatch from Amsterdam says that there is no confirmation of the report that the Obdam has been wrecked off De Hoeksch-Waard, South Holland. Another Chance Wanted for Valkyrie. LONDON, Feb. 13.—Commenting on the statement that the Vigilant would take no part in any of the races next year, the Tele- graph says it hopes the report is unfound- ed. Mr. Royal Phelps Carroll, it says, had every opportunity last year of trying his yacht, the Navahoe, against all English cutters, and it is to be trusted that Ameri- can yachtsmen will afford Lord Dunraven similar opportunities to test the Valkyrie in open races to show what she can do with American representative boats under alter- ed conditions. Execution of a Ri Traitor. LONDON, Feb. 13.—A dispatch to the Times from Vienna says: Advices from Roumania say that it has been learned there that a Russian lieutenant colonel of the cavalry was tried recently at Odessa and executed. The officer had been station- ed at Kischeneiff, the capital of Bessarabia, and in his lodgings the authorities found, it is alleged, a sealed letter addressed to a general of staff of a foreign power, to which he had_been supplying secrets at a salary of 24,000 francs yearly. : A London View of the Wilson Bill. LONDON, Feb. 13.—The Daily News,com- menting on the Wilson tariff bill, say: What with free raw materials and dut on manufactured articles as they stand the bill, the American manufacturer will still be amply compensated for the higher wages he has to pay employes. It cannot be too often repeated that it is not an es- sentially free trade measure. The first con- cern of its authors is to fill the void in a depleted treasury. Its most serious danger lies in the fact that it cannot wholly afford relief without imposing an income tax. It remains to be seen whether that will be the death knell of its authors. The Cshr to Go to Kieff. BERLIN, Feb. 13.—A telegram from St. Petersburg says M. Scharin, the czar’s phy- sician, has declared that St. Petersburg is not suited for the czar’s health, and advises him to live at Kieff. The transfer of the court promptly to Kieff, therefore, is only @ question of time. It is stated that Dr. Scharin has received 60,000 roubles recently for attending the czar. Complaints of Armenians. CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 18.—Some of the most notable Armenians of Seevas, Asiatic Turkey, have earnestly requested the American consul there to inform Pres- ident Cleveland of the sad condition of the Armenians. They claim that the governor of Seevas arbitrarily detains a number of innocent prisoners, and that included among their number is a doctor, educated in the United States, who is falsely accused of sedition. —_—_—.

The receipts from internal revenue during the first ten days of the present month ag- gregated $5,079,211 as against $4,514,904 dur- ing the corresponding period last year, a gain of. $564,407. The tremendous increase is regarded by treasury officials as a sure sign of returning business. The significance of it will be understood when it is known that since the beginning of the present fiscal year the receipts from internal rev- enues had constantly declined month by month until the aggregate receipts for the half year were fully $12,000,000 less than for the corresponding period of 1898, ——_+o+- Patents Expire.

Proposed Legislation to Secure a More Business-Like System of Management. Certain changes ‘n the laws governing the management of the rational homes for dis- abled volunteer soldiers, incorporated in the sundry civil appropriation bill for the next fiscal year, have caused much com- ment among the veterans. The board which has been in charge of the homes is made up of war veterans, with the exception of the President, chief jus- tice of the Supreme Court and Secretary of War, who are members ex-officio, but have not usually taken an active part in the oversight of the homes, so that the man- of the veterans. There are nearly 30,000 old soldiers in the seven branches of the homes, the greatest number being in the central establishment at Dayton, Ohio. Large sums of money are handled by the officers, the appropriation for the next year being $2,300,875. Changes Recommended. In the past the board of managers has held exclusive control of affairs, but it is now recommended by the appropriations committee that the board make an annual report to the Secretary of War, to be sub- mitted by him to Congress; that an inspec- tion of the records, disbursements, disci- pline-and management be made yearly by the inspector general's department, which is to regort to Congress; that the disburs- ing officers give bonds, approved by the ——- of War; that their accounts be dered =... to the War Department for transmisSion to the treasury, and that all laws requiring the board of managers to make quarterly visits to the home and au- dit the accounts be repealed. Representative Sayers, the chairman of the appropriations committee, says that these changes were not intended to relieve the board of its power. Account to the Treasury. “The intention was to make the board account to the Treasury Department for its financial transactions as all other govern- ment officers have to do. They are to be held accountable to the proper department for the use of public moneys. The changes were unanimously approved by the mem- bers of the appropriations committee, with- out regard to party, and have no object but a more business-like system of manage- ment.” Representative Cannon of Illinois,a promi- nent republican member, also said: “There was no intention to cripple the manage- ment of the homes, only to secure more in- telligent administration and an oversight of the accounts of the board by the depart- ment. The old system, by which the board could give its members fees, is done away with. The soldiers will be better off than ever, although the members of the board may have less fees.” —————_+-2+—_____ DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. -* East and West Railway. Mr. William Hutchinson, writing to the Commissioners upon the subject of street railways, says: “I notice by The Star this ; evening your recommendations as to some | Street railroads in the city, but have seen nothing yet this season relative to the east and west road for this northern section of | the city to connect with Georgetown. There | is no road so much needed at this time. We have our north and south connections. ; There ts a general call for such a road, but | I suppose no formal petition has been’ cir- culated. This petition of the Belt line in my vicinity could well be utilized in the general plan. The needed connection is first to the Metropolitan line at Dupont Circle on P street and Connecticut avenue. The carriageways on V and W streets are narrow, hence but one track on a street would seem best, and P and Q streets would be the best route west of Iowa Circle. How ‘ to best cover this franchise by joining other ‘corporations I would not suggest. chief purpose is to have this line considered \ while you have before you the subject of extending our street railroads.” 4th Street Grading Stopped. In the appropriation act for the fiscal year | 1892 there was an appropriation of $5,000 | for grading 4th street extended. Mr. An- | drew Gleeson was the successful bidder. | After working for some time on his con- tract he was notified that it would be nec- essary to stop the work, as a sewer was be- ing constructed in that street. As it was not known how long it would be before the | Sewer would be completed, a final measure- ment was given him, and he was paid for the work already done. In the meantime | the sewer was completed, but the fiscal year | under which the appropriation was made | had closed, and the question arose whether | Mr. Gleeson could continue his contract and receive pay. The auditor for the District, to whom -the matter was referred, states that an extension of this contract would be in the nature of a new obligation charge- able to the present year, for which no ap- propriation exists, and Mr. Gleeson was accordingly notified today that no further work can be done under his contract for grading this street. © Nuisances Noted. Health Officer Hammett has notified the Commissioners of the following nuisances on public property: Deiective grade caused by a depression rear of house 1712 Connec- ticut avenue, causing a pool of stagnant water.

Among the nominations made by the President yesterday afternoon was one of interest to the people of the District. It was that of Mr. J. Adam Bede of West From the Superior, Minn., to be United States mar- thal of the district of Minnesota. Mr. Bede was for some years a resident of Anacos- tia, or, to speak more properly, of Good Hope Hill, whence he wrote some very en- tertaining notes concerning the social and Political doings of old “Uniontown” to The Star for many months. Later Mr. Bede joined the editorial staff of this pa- per, and was connected with the office for over a year. Then he emigrated to Du- luth and engaged in work on the Herald of that city, and after a few months estab- lished a paper of his own known as The Cuizen, His latest and most profitable work, however, has been in the publication | of a little sheet at Tower, Minn., which he | called “Bede's Budget,” which was filled with the quaint sayings and philosophy of the editor, whose mind takes a humorous . iz Premivm notes on policies in force..

Among other quaint rerharks he told the President, to whom he addressed his application, that if he were not chosen as marshal of the state he could at least “paddle his own canoe.” There were two very prominent candidates for the position, and the backing of each was so strong that there was no choosing between them. They showed no signs of a compromise, and the President, it is said, cut the knot by choosing a third man, who chanced to be Mr. Bede. The place is a profitable one, paying between $5,000 and $6,000 a year. FINANCIAL.
