S. DEBT Senate Takes Up Question of Whether America Ever Paid Back Louis’ Advances. Paris, March 23 (By Associated Press).—The question whether Amer- ica had ever repaid the advances to her made by Louis XVI. of France during the American Revolution, was brought up in the senate during last night's debate on the budget by Sen- ator Gaudin de Villaine. “l1 said last year from this ros- trum,'’ he declared, “that Louis XVI. in 1778, in the name of the French nation and to save the young Ameri- can republic had Jloaned America 800,000,000 francs.” | The senator calculated that at three per cent. this sum now would exceed 37,000,000,000 francs, only to pay what France owes to America but also what France owes to England.” “A Washington telegram, replying within the last 24 hours to the point of which you speak, gives the dates at which this debt was repaild,” in- terrupted Senator Brangier. “This debt never pad been paid,” exclaimed Sen. Gaudin de Villaines. “This telegram in question gives the exact dates of the payments,” re- ' plied Senator Brangier. I had, my dear colleague, the same thoughts as you and when I was in the United States I put the question to an Am- erican newspaper,—the same ques- tion you have raised today. I was told that the United States had re- pald. I scarcely believed it because {the reply in a way was vague and indefinite, while the telegram from Washington to which I alluded, gives the dates and terms of the payments. (It cames from a source which seems ; above suspicion.” “A telegram is not an historical | document,” interposed Senator Jules Delahaye. “I must ask pardon,’” said Senator Brangier, but it would be dangerous for theé good relations which it is indispensable to maintain with the United States to open such a dis- cussion if really this debt has been paid.” Senator de Villaine resumed: ““A course by America such as I | have suggested would honor America infinitely and would be more interest- {ing for us than seeing from time to {time pilgrimages come to place flow- 'ers on the tomb of Marquis de Lafay- | ette. That is, as I said, last year an historical falsehood, for Marquis de Lafayette, like Count de Rochambeau and so many others who crossed the ocean a century ago, were simply pawns on the royal chess board.” | FIND “OLD MASTER."

Buffalo Police Seek to Link Bootleg- gers With Graves’ Murder. Buffalo, March 23.—Another arrest was made today in connection with the murder of Luther P. Graves prom- inent young business man on North street last Thursday. The prisoner's name was not di- vulged by the police, who say the arrest is equally as important as the capture last night of Edward White, an alleged bootlegger with a police record. Both arrests were made on orders from District Attorney Moore, who is pursuing the theory that Graves was shot by bootleggers who mistook him for a man they had planned to kill, or for a watchman who might block an attempt to raid a North street cel- lar where they expected to fin(‘ a large stock of liquor. nl\l(‘\:\’]"‘lON APPROVED.
