He Has No Intention of Resiguing to Run for Congres: Several days ago statements appeared in a number of the Maryland papers to the effect that Judge Louis E. McComas of the District Supreme Court intended resigning his position on the bench to accept the nom- ination in the sixth congressional district of Maryland. While it is regarded by re- publican leaders as almost certain that the nomination would be equivalent to an elec- tion next fall, especially if*the nominee should be Judge McComas, whose great popularity and strength among the people of the sixth district is acknowledged on every hand, few people imagined that the report of Judge McComas’ intended resig- nation was true. Advices from Judge Me- Comas’ district are to the effect that if he desires the nomination he has only to say so and he can have it. The republicans of the district say that any man nominated by them in the district next fall will be elected by at least 1,40 majority, and they state that Judge McComas could be elected by 3,000 or more majority. ‘Today Judge McComas was spoken to by a Star reporter relative to the report that he intended resigning to accept the nom- ination, and was asked if there was any truth in the story. “Not a word,” replied the judge, shaxing his head. “Nothing is further from my purpose,” he explained. “When I accepted my present judicial posi- tion I did so after much deliberation, and with a firm purpose to relinquish political life and its cares forever. I have found the position on the bench to be a most con- genial one. My life here is most delightful and I have not the slightest desire to agalni assume the duties and cares of a political life. My. friends in my old congressional district tell me that I could have ‘he nomi- nation next fall if I would only say the word, and I feel assured that I, or any other nominee of the republican party then, could be elected by a handsome ma- jority; but, as I have told them, I have no; desire or intention of resigning my position on the District bench. Now, 1 wish The Star would say this for me, that my good friends in the sixth district and elsewhere could know just how I feel in the matter. No man couid fail to be highly flattered by the assurances I have received from the people of my old district, and while I ceep- ly appreciate the compliment paid me, I propose to remain where I am. ae SPECIAL GOVERNMENT COUNSEL. More Money Needed by the Depart- ment of Justice for That Purpose. ‘The Pacific railroad litigation and various other suits in which the government is in- terested have directed the attention of the | House committee on appropriations to the | meager amount allowed the Department of Justice for the employment of special coun- | | Sel.

It is significant that Mr. Chamberlain an- nounced he would not vote on the house of | lords’ amendment, that the parliament! would approve every compulsory purchase. The amendments made by the hot of lords are virtually dead. ‘The Duke of Devonshire, Sir Henry James, Mr. Jesse Collings and Mr. Joseph Chamber- lain were the principal speakers at a m+et- ing held last night. Sir Henry James ond Mr. Collings both insisted’ strongly against any action which would provoke a coatftict between the house of lords and the house of commons. They said that it must not be taken for granted that the house cf lords will acquiesce in the rejection of their amendments to the parish councils’ bill, and added that as far as could be ascer- tained the bill would again be returned to the house of commons, or that a conference between representatives of the two houses would be held to settle the terms of a com- promise. ‘The Financ! Situatio: ‘The Daily News says the financial situa- The crew was also instructed to report that all were well on board the Paris, and that there was absolutely no danger of anything further happening to the steamer. The weather is moderate and a pilot has been sent with the agent to the assistance of the steamer. It is thought possible that the Paris will be assisted back so far as this port when temporary repairs may be made to her rud- der, and it is believed that she will then make for Queenstown in order that the re- pairs may be completed. The disaster to the Paris was caused by the breaking of the rudder in what is known as the trunk. The Paris is expected at Queenstown shortly, and it is said that her passengers will be embarked upon a Cunard steamship and forwarded to their destination so soon as possible. NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—At the offices of the American steamship line the officials of that company this morning said they had received no details of the mishap to the Paris, and that the only information they had on the subject was contained in a short cablegram sent to the maritime ex- tion has completely demoralized the markets in India. Rates of exchange in China have fallen, following the decline in silver. The paper says further that the Grand Trunk railroad dividends have caused disappoint- ment. It says that the proposal to charge off the cost of the October accident Is ap- proved, though it was entirely unexpected. Guarding the Palace of the Elysee. A dispatch to the Chronicle from Paris says: The palace of the Elysee was well guarded last night. The guests who attend- ed the president’s ball had to show their tickets twice before they could gain admit- tance. Examining Magistrate Meyer has elicited statements from Henry, the bomb thrower, which will lead to serious raids upon houses which anarchists are supposed to reside in and to many arrests, both in Paris and the provinces. The Gaulots says that a well-known and desperate anarchist has left London for Paris on a mission which involves the perpe- tration of another outrage. A dispatch to the Standard from Paris says: ‘The Rothschilds’ bank in this city is guarded by an extra force of police, as a result of anarchist placards, which were posted upon the door of the bank, announc- ing that a meeting of the society would be heid inside the building and requesting the brethren who were skillfull in the locksmith trade to bring with them skeleton keys and crowbars in case of the safes being locked. Admitted to the French Academy. A dispatch to the Times from Paris says: M. Ferdinand Brunetiere, the well-known writer, has been admitted to the academy. In a Jong and interesting address last night on French journalism and the French pop- ulations he said that the returns issued on showed that the deaths egregated 875,000 and the He predicted that the effects of the war of 1870 would now cease to op- erate. The continued increase in the number of marriages would soon result in births which would overbalance the number of deaths. Forgiven by the Emperor. A dispatch to the Daily News from Vi- enna says: Baron Siegfried, whose recent marriage with a princess who was the granddaughter of the Emperor Francis Joseph created a sensation, was accorded an interview lasting twenty minutes with the emperor yesterday, in which the baron thanked the sovereign for nis appointment to a Heutenancy in the Austrian army. The emperor later received his granddaughter, the wife of Baron Siegfried, at a separate audience. It was their first meeting since the marriage. ' er in Ireland.

History of the Bomb Thrower Killed by His Own Bomb. LONDON, Feb. 16.—Bourdin, the French- man, supposed to have been an anarchist, who was blown almost to pieces last night in Greenwich Park, through, it is believed, stumbling and falling upon a bottle of ex- plosive material, which he carried in his pocket, is said to have come from Paris to London in 1888, and to have werked here with his brother. Bourdin, according to of this city, and became imbued with their opinions and methods. In Isl Bourdin is said to have gone to the United States, and to have been em- ployed by a ladies’ tailor in Detroit. Ac- | cording to the police, Bourdin, after leav- | ing Detroit, returned to Paris, and from | here came to this city. He is said to have been a trusted organizer of the anarchists, | and the police here expressed the opinion | that Bourdin, wh he me death, was | on his way through Green Park to the with the tention of blowing up that institution. ‘After hearing the explosion in the park last night, the police on duty about the! observatory found Bourdin kneeling, covered | With blood, his hand and wrist blown away, | a gaping wound in his stomach, and other- wise severely injured. ‘The wounded man was only able to say: fake me home.” He was conveyed to| the Seamen's Hospital, where he died half an hour afterwards. 2 ‘Acard, upon which was the name| “Rourdin,” was found in the anarchist's | pocket, and around the spot where he was | picked up were the fragments of a bottle. Rourdin has been watched by the police | for some time past, and it is believed that | he contemplating some desperate deed. | His sister-in-law says that Bourdin called upon her yesterday, and that when she | playfully pushed him, he exclaimed: ‘For God's sake, don’t push m: From this it is believed that Bourdin inust have had the explosive in his pocket when he called upon his sister. The dead anarchist, it has been ascer-} tained, was a freauent speaker at the de- bates of the Autonomic Club, thoush his | attendance at the club lately has been less frequent than before. It now transpires that Bourdin was seen yesterday on Hanover square with a com- | anton. They walked together to White- | all. where Bovrdin’s companion went towards the West End, and Rourdin crossed | Westminster bridge and took a horse car for Greenwich. | t in LOST HER RUDDER. | The Steamship Paris Compelied to Go to Anchornge. | .

PARIS, Feb. 16.—A semi-official note has been issued in regard to the attitude of the Portuguese government in most of the ques- tions which have arisen between France and Portugal, and especially in regard to those questions Which affected French in- vestments. The attitude of Portugal in these matters, it fs announced, has caused Premier Casi- mer-Perier to recall the French minister to Portugal from his post to Paris, in order to confer with the government upon the situation. During the absence of the French min- ister from Portugal the first secretary will replace him and will so act until the pres- ent crisis permits of the French minister's return, MADRID, Feb. 16.—The queen regent and the cabinet have discussed the departure of the French minister from Lisbon, and the situation is regarded as being serious. The Spanish newspapers comment upon the pusher and also regard it as being ser- jous. The general opinion expressed in political circles is that the situation in Portugal re- sembles that which necessitated the inter- vention of Spain in the affairs of Portugal fifty years ago, and the opinion is also ex- pressed that Spain should immediately con- sider the means to be taken in order to pre- vent Portugal from becoming the center cf permanent political agitation. Burned Henry's Papers. PARIS, Feb. 16.—The anarchists of a certain group upon hearing of the arrest of Henry, the bomb-thrower of the Hotel Terminus, raided his lodgings ut Belleville the same night, burned all his papers and departed, taking with them, it is believed, one or more bombs, which the anarchist is supposed to have had in his lodgings, The police, it would seem, were very neg- ligent in the matter of the arrest of Henry, as their search of his lodgings seems only to have been an afterthought. If they had acted more promptly it is possible that they might have made some important dis- coveries and arrests. As it was, they found in Henry's lodgings some chlorate powder, picric acid and some copper tubes, evidently intended for use in the manufacture of bombs similar to those used by Vaillant and by Henry himself. At the anarchist’s lodgings the people of the house sald they recognized the photo- graph of Henry as that of a man whom they knew as Dubols. Lobengula Dead. CAPETOWN,Feb. 16.—The death of King Lobengula is confirmed. No particulars, however, have reached here up to the time the dispatch is filed. Fought a Duel With Swords. PARIS, Feb. 16.—A duel with swords was fought today between ex-Minister Wal- deck-Rousseau and Count Frisch de Fels. The ex-minister was slightly wounded in the arm. ‘The altercation which was the cause of the duel was the result of a remark made by M. Waldeck-Rousseau at a recent trial, | | redeemed by a ceriain day they will be con- | which was supposed to reflect upon the Countess de Fels. The count shortly after- ward struck M. Waldeck-Rousseau in the lobby of the Palace of Justice and the friends of the two gentlemen mentioned were called upon to arrange the meeting which has taken place today. Colonna Bound to Have His Children. PARIS, Feb. 16.—Prince Colonna has gone to Naples. He left this city three days ago. In an interview with Maintre Corte, counsel for the prince, the lawyer said that Prince Colonna- was determined to regain posses- sion of his children and that he will take the necessary steps to do so. —_— PRAYER OF RACING MEN, They Want the New Jersey Legisla- ture to Be Easier on Them, TRENTON, N. J., Feb, 16.—At the open- ing of the session of the republican senate this morning President Rogers presented a petition signed by Edward Griffin and other horsemen, in which the senate was petition- ed to reconsider its action on the race track bills, so that the many poor horsemen at Gloucester could save enough to pay their rents and keep their wives and chiliren from suffering. The petition stated that it was not the race tracks that did the harm. He promised the senators the prayers of himself and fellow horsemen if they would let the race track laws alone. The petition was referred to the demo- cratic senate, with the idea that they know more about race tracks. The bills repealing the acts under which the police justices and police commissioners of Camden, Paterson and Trenton are ap- pointed were passed, and also the bill ab- rogating the licenses of all other race \tracks heretofore granted.
