President Faure’s message to the French senate and chamber of deputies yesterday was as follows: “Gentlemen: By raising me to the first magistracy. of the republic, the national assembly chose for these high functions one of the country’s most modest servants. I should but imperfectly express my pro- found gratitude if I did not return to the working democracy to which I belong all the honor of this choice. It was to the democracy that the manifestation of the lith was addressed. It is to the obscure work incessantly accomplished by the de- mocracy for the greatness of France that the representatives of the nation offered this solemn act of homage. “I grasp the full extent of the duties im- posed upon me by the national assembly in intrusting me with the task of guarding: the constitution. You will not tind me wanting. You can count upon my entire devotion, and, above all, on my vigilance in guaranteeing the application of con- stitutional law. “By the absolute calm and complete con- fidence which attended the transference of the presidential power, France has again shown how much she feels herself mistress of her own destinies under the protection of republican laws. “In letters, art and science, In industry, commerce and husbandry, in everything which displays the fruitful activity of the country, in the serried ranks of universal suffrage as in the political world, the same ardor should unite all those who have at heart the prestige of the French name. To this union, to this common effort for the power and glory of the French republic, I invite you in the certainty that I am the interpreter of the whole of your democ- racy.” Then the chamber of deputies passed the amnesty bill by an overwhelming major- ity. Exprestes The Cabinet General Zurlinden, commander of the fourth army ccrps, accepted the position of minister of war. This completcs the new cabinet, which Is constituted as fol- lows: Prime minister and minister of finance, M. Ribot. Minister of foreign affairs, M. Hanotaux. Minister of war, General Zurlinden. Minister of marine, Admiral Besnard. Minister of justice, M. Trarieux. Minister of the interior, M. Leygues. Minister of public instruction and wor- ship, M. Poincare. Minister of public works, M.

Members of the Alumni Association of Dickinson College residing in Maryland and the District of Columbia met last night at the State Normal School, Baltimore. A permanent organization was formed, a con- stitution adopted, and the following officers elected: President, Prof. E. B. Prettyman of the State Normal School; first vice pres- ident, John F.

IT’S A MILLSTONE About a young man’s neck to be a sufferer from ner- ‘yous exhaustion, ner- vous debility, ws ed memory, low spirits, irritable tem- per, and the thousand and one derangements of mind and body that result from, unnatural, pernicious habits, contracted through _ ignorance. Such habits result in loss of manly power, wreck the constitution and sometimes pro- duce softening of the brain, epilepsy, pa- ralysis, and even dread insanity. To reach, re-claim and restore such un- fortunates to health and happiness, is the aim of the publishers of a book written in plain but chaste language, on the nature, symptoms and curability, by home treat- ment, of such diseases. “This book will be sent Sealed, in plain envelope, on receipt of ten cents in stamps, for postage. A World's Dispensar: Medical Association, 663 Main St.. Buffalo, N. Y. AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Judge Chichester Scores the Disorderly Element in the County. Jackson City and the Policy Players— Gov. 0’Ferrall Criticised—Other Notes of Interest. Judge Chichester’s charge to the grand jury at the opening of the Alexandria coun- ty court yesterday was of peculiar interest to ail law abiding citizens of this and other sections of the state. He touched upon the gambling and other lawlessness which is going on from day to day without inter- mission, even for Sunday, in nearly all parts of the country, and severely critised the officers of the county for not doing their duty. He scored Gov. O’Ferrall for not lending his aid for the suppression of this vice. He said that the governor had promised his assistance in exterminating this pest, and said that the first thing the gcvernor had done in this line was to sign a bill taking the granting of liquor licenses cut of the power of the court, and now there were many more bar rooms than ever Lefore. Secondly, that the governor had signed a bill legalizing horse racing and bockmaking, which had scattered this form of gambling throughout the country in- stead of confining it to Jackson City, where it was at least all together and could be watched over when the proper oflicers were elected, and, lastly, he had caused the state to compromise with these men,where- by they agreed to stop racing during the shortest month in the year. .He charged the jury, as law abiding citizens and good citizens, to investigate these matters fully and use every effort in their power to bring the parties indulging in them before the court, and he would use every point of the law to put a stop to these nefarious prac- tices. The jury handed in the following indict- ments yesterday afternoon: True bills against enry Chandler, who has a place at the south end of the Long bridge, for selling liquor on Sunday, for selling without a license, running a policy game and knowingly allowing gambling to go on on his premises; Jessie Butler, for promoting policy and running a gaming table; Robert Summers, promoting policy, and John Burless, promoting policy. ‘The indictments against Henry Lawson for en- tering a dwelling in the nighttime, and against Thomas H. Craven for the mur- der of Reuben Mills, were both returned not true bills. The grand jury also recommended to the court the removal uf James Lane and Hil- ton Reese, justices of the peace, and Isaac Greene, constable, believing them to be neglecting their duty and of no service to the state. Inasmuch as these officers were elected by the state, the judge said he could not comply with the recommendation. ‘There are a number of similar cases to be investigated and more indictments. Judge Chichester says he is determined to put forth every effort to purge the county, which has become the butt of the whole country and the lodging place for outcasts from Washington, New York and else- where. For the Sake of Charity. The meeting of ladies at the residence of Mrs. T. Marshall Jones yesterday to devise ways and means for relieving the suffer- ing poor in this city was a most enthusias- tic one and a permanent organization will be effected and officers elected at once. They have secured the use of a store room, 410 King street, which will be kept open every day this week for the reception of supplies of any description or kind. They earnestly request that everybody in town who can do so will at least spare some- thing, no matter how Ihttle, as somebody wants it and needs it. Even the few rolls or biscuits or anything of that kind left | over after a meal should be put in a bag and sent to the stcre room, where the com- mittee in charge will see that it reaches only those that are in urgent need ofeit. ‘This is a grand work and should receive the support of everybody in a position to help. Royal Arcanum. The degree team from Alexandria Coun- ell, No. 627, Royal Arcanum, with several other members of the ledge, went over to Washington last night to confer the de- gree upon several candidates for the Ori- ental Council of that city.

President Youhg has nam2d this date, and it will be 3; iftted to the league Magnates for their approval at the next league meeting. There has been a general wish among the players! that the opening day be later than heretofore, it being argued that in past seasons jthe-dast days of April were responsible for much iliness and rheumatism among the players, and it took them a whole month to recover. Philadelphia will open the season at Washington, Pittsburg at Louisville, Cleve- land at Cincinnati, Chicago at St. Louis, Baltimore at New York and Brooklyn at Boston, The “Bowery Boy” Won. Max Moore of New York, known as the “Bowery Boy,” and “Pike” Carson of Philadelphia, pugilists of the light-weight class, engaged in a “mill” last evening in a barn in Maryland, near the District line. It resulted in a victory for the New Yorker, who laid his antagonist out in the eighth round with a left swing on the point of the jaw. Carson had the better of the fight up to that time, and his.friends were very much surprised at his downfall. They will try to bring off another match between the two men.

Manager Hanlon of the Baltimore Base Ball Club returned to Baltimore from Wash- ington last night, having drafted Inficlder George Carey of the Milwaukee Club in the Western League. Mr. Hanlon is well satisfied with having secured Carey before any other of the league clubs caught sight cf him. The drafting of Carey means that the Baltimore club will not be without a competent first baseman even if Brouthers should stick to the determination which he announced last fall not to play ball gain. Mr. Hanlon offered to buy ieckley nd also suggested several trades, but Manager Connie Mack refused to consider them. While in Washington Mr. Hantion had a long talk with President Young. Mr. Young said that there never had been a more favorable outlook for base bad than this season. At least ten new leagues, he said, had applied for protection under the national agreement.

Bankers and financial men in New York city, apparently without exception, speak in terms of approval of the President's message. President J. Edward Simmons of the Feurth National Bank said: “The Presi- dent’s message is, in my judgment, a sharp, crisp, commonsense appeal to Congress for sensible legislation at a critical juncture in our financial affairs. “His recommendation favoring an issue of a three-per-cent gold bond is sound, and will, in my judgment, meet with general approval on the part of the conservative financiers of the country. He has done all that could be expected of him by the issu- ance of $10,000,000 bonds, for the purpose of keeping the money of the country at a parity. He now places the responsibility of maintaining the public credit upon Con- gress. It rests with Congress to say wheth- er it will avert disaster or afford needed relief by wise and judicious legislation.” President Frederick F. Tappen of the Gal- latin National Bank said: “I quite agree with the President. The message is per- fectly sound in every respect. The whole ratter bas been placed squarely before - cngress, and the responsibility rests with President John McAnerney of the Seventh National Bank said: “The President’s mes- sage shows that he fully appreciates the situation. It is a singular situation. With abundance of crops at low prices and plenty of money at low rates, the loss of con dence in the willingness and ability of Con- gress to reform our currency legislation is so great that the situation is panicky. Business is improving, and with a little patriotism at Washington and common sense with our business people we .will proceed with the present slow commercial revival.” President A. B. Hepburn of the Third National Bank said: “The message is first rate. It is govud and sound. It meets the situation, and, if its views are sustained, I think that it will afford the country de- sired relief, though, of course, there will have to be some currency legislation.” President Jsdward Wright of the Park National Bank said: ‘‘The President's prop- osition is admirable. It is just what we want. I believe that it will restore conti- dence in the government and better the condition of business, if—mark you, I say if—the principal and interest are made pay- able in gold coin of its present standard and fineness. I belleve that the issue will be popular, and will be taken up if Con- gress authorizes it. If, as I have said, it is a gold bond issue, I believe that there will be many taken in Europe. It will bring gold to this country.” Views of London Dailies. Commenting editorially on the message sent to Congress yesterday by President Cleveland, the London Standard says: t is a state paper of very high quality. To us it is amazing that language of such plainness should be necessary. To oifer to pay national obligations in silver is to cheat the creditor of more than half his due. No self-respecting, honorable peopl2 could contemplate the perpetration of such a fraud with anything but horror and dis- sust. We do not believe that the Ameri can people ever really meant it. The pro- posal to utilize the new bonds as the basis of note circulation would require to be strictly guarded co preserve it from abuse. We hope President Cleveland’s appeal will We want the loan in some dly as the Americans them- s because economic _ brotherhood causes us to suffer almost equally with themselves. Let Congress take stock that our money market is gorged with capital eager for employment, and then look to the resources of their country still unde- veloped. The adoption of Mr. Cleveland's preposals would result in a rebound of business on both sides of the Atlantic, such as has not occurred in fifteen years. The Daily News says it believes t President Cleveland's protest will be ig- nored, and that more bonds will be issued on the same ruinous conditions as before. It adds that the export of gold is not an unmitigated evil. It is exported in pay- ment of value received, and, in some in- stances, to enable better investment than is possible in America. In either case the country 1 s. The real evil lies in the apathy of Congress and its refusal to al- low the movement of the precious metals to take its natural course in order to give artificial stimulus to the demand for sil- ve The Chronicle says it fears that the Preside appeal will fall on deaf ears, especially if the belief prevails in Congress that the cat is about to jump out on the silver side of the fence. The Times, in an editorial, says the mes- sage is a very weighty, indeed, a rather alarming, document. “The life of the present Congress, it adds, “is too brief for the hope of the adoption of President Cleveland's suggestions, even if a majority should favor them. It is improbable that the next Congress will adopt Mr. Cleve- land’s lead, and, in any case, it may be doubted whether an attempt begun in March to cope with the drain of gold would not be too late to avert the serious and rosy cheeks.

Hence, Mr. Cleveland’s plan is only of speculative in- terest, but if Congress had the courage or the capacity to cacry it out there would be a chance of putting the finances on a sound basis. The outlook is not pleasant for Americans or those having dealings with them. The Americans are perhaps too ready to rely on their power, so con- spicuously shown during the civil war, of bearing heavy taxation, but they cannot escape their present difficulties by merely increasing the revenue. Even the silver fanatics cannot suppose it possible that gold could be entirely banished without the most serious effects upoa the national credit and international trade.” The Westminster Gazette, commenting on United States finances, says: “That European holders should sell the worthless gambling counters they possess in the shepe of American railroad shares is not surprising; but the sale of bonds appears to us to be ill-advised. Although the United States is in a tight corner we do rot think there is the slightest danger that the currency will fall to the silver level. The government, unquestionably, will use its immense credit without re- straint to keep the country’s fivances on a gold basis.” So Ses Gould’s Demurrer Overruled. Justice Beckman of the New York su- preme court ‘thas overruled the demurrer which George J. Gould interposed to the complaint of the Soldiers’ Orphans’ Home of St. Louis in its action against him in- dividually and as executor of his father’s estate, and against the other executors of Jay Gould and against Russell Sage, to compel restitution to the Kansa§ Pacific Railway Company of $11,000,000 bonds, al- leged to have been converted by Jay Gould and Russell Sage to their own usufruct. Justico Beekman rules that the point raised in George J. Gould's demurrer is only technical, and deserves but passing consideration, —+2+—____ Preventing Collisions at Sea.
