THE QUESTION OF REVISION Sure to Be Rejected by the Mom- bers of the Senate. ASKS FOR THEIR SUPPORT. The Premicr Appeals to Those Who Share in His Opinions For Some dence of Their Al- leglance. The Ministerial Upheaval Averted. |Copyriaht 1559 by James Gord m Bennstt.\ Pants, Feb, 9.—[New York Herald Cable —Special to Tk Ber|—As the Buropean cdition of the Herald predicted, parlia- mentary day yesterday passed off without giving rise to a ministerial crisis. Floq uet, aftor hesitating a8 to the attitude of the cab inct on the question of giving the priority to the scrutin arrondissement project, or to that of the revision, finally made up his mind to ask the chamber to fix Monday for discussion of the former and to place the second on the order of the day for the Thurs- day following. Tn his speech yesterday Floquet awelt on the necessity of deciding concerning clectoral reform, which under the prosent cireumstances is a weapon the republic stand in need of, in order to successfully re- st the adversaries of republican institu- tions. He added that he proposed to remain faithful to his programme, which is that of the radicals, and that the question of revision would be taken hold of immediately after the atin d'arrondissement, and declared that hie could not thini of remaining in office un- less those who shared his opinions ve him their mark of contidence. The radicals divided into two camps. M. Pinchon made himself the mouthpieea of those who, out of deferenca to IMloquet, con- sented to adjourn the discussion of revision until after the scrutin de hste. Camille Pelletan, on the contrary, mounted the tribune and said he would not allow the ministry to make this a cabinet question, and urged that each deputy should preservi the liberty of this vote. Fiunally the cab net came out victorious, and by 279 votes to 231 the chamber decided that the scrutin d'arrondissement bill should be discussed on Monday and that the question of revision be put before the cham- ber on Monday week. It is now almost cer- tain that the chamber will vote the scrutin @arrondissement. As to the revision it scems pretty sure to be voted by the chum- ber, for the right and the radicals, and probably a good number of the opportunists, have agreed to vote for it, but it is certain to be rejected by the senatg. In reality the situation of the cabinet re mains unmodificd. Floquet has learned that his influence over the radicals themselves 1s extremely weak, for from only a partof them could he obtain the slight concession that he demanded. As to the moderate re- publicans they have only a lukewarm confi- dence in the policy of a cabinet that still per sists in its radical programme, and abstains from pursuing its plans for revision. M. Francis Magnard, in this morn- mg's Figaro, says: ‘“The ministr) has escaped once more. Floguet will have a dangerous moment to pass when the rey ision comes up for dis- cussion, but these ministerial incidents have no bearing on the general course of events. This will only be modified by the October clections. As for revision, Floquet may persist in asking for it and in getting the chamber to vote it, but it wiil only be an ex- cuse for the noisy sessions at the Palais Bourbon." e THE ROME LABOR RIOTS, The Situation Discussed in the Cham- ber of Deputics. Rowme, Feb, 9.—In the chamber of deputies to-day Signor Bonhi and other members cen- sured the authorities in connection with the labor riots. Prime Minister Crispi, reply ing, blamed the commissioner of pub- lic safety for culpable lack of pres- ence of mind, He announced that he had given stringont orders to prevent all meetings of workingmen, The government, he said, was warned some time ago that the present agitation would occur either in Februaryor March, Hinting that the so- cialists were at the bottom of the trouble, Signor Crispi said that the government would know how to do its duty. - Le (‘nrnn'fl Mllllul'y Record.

Gliddea & Curtis, the Boston firm, which collapsed a fow days ago, was backing the company, and the embarrassment of the bankers through the Pacific Guano company’s misfortunes is supposed to have brought about the crash in the affairs of the Ohio company. Attach- ments were issued to-day against all the company's Columbus property by the Hocking Valley railroad, whose claim is $21,500. The company has been doing heavy business in the manufdcture of iron, and its furnaces in Hocking Valley aro among the largest in the west. It is claimed that the assets are large, but that for some reason the company has been unable to col- lect accounts long since due, and the Boston failure may have only hastened the inevi- table crisis, The company was capitalized for $3,000,000 in bonds and #5,000,000 of stock. Of the latter, it is understood that Glidden & Curtis controlled seven-eighths, The firm 1s said to have advanced the com- pany $750,000, Gladstone W New Yous, Feb. 9 —The Catholic News of this city has received, from its Rome corres- poudent, a cablegram stating that G ladstone has resigned his contemplated trip to the “Eternul City,” at the cxpress wish of the Italian government, and in accordance with earnest requests from persons high in the diplomatic service of England, The dispatch states Signor Crispi has brought all the in- fluence lie could command to make Gladstone change his mind, or to return to England without visiting Rome.

Curyessg, Wyo., Fob, 9.—The discovery of the bodics of eight Mexican prospectors at the wmouth of the abandoned an Salvador mine, in the northern part of Wyommg, has brought to light a romantic story, rivalling ail the tales about seckers for Captain Kidd's buried treasures. Miguel Martinez, at the head of ty of his countrymen, was horo last n for two days. He confided to a Mexican gambler here that they were in scarch of an abandoned gold mine, which they bolioved to bo rich in metal and were going to develop, Martinez carvied a chart traced on parch- ment, which they said was 200 years old and was made by an ancestor of his in the soven- teenth centur The chart had been lost for seventeen years, but recently turned up, and at once @ party was organized. he story that had run through the family for gencrations was that Martinez the elder was at the head of a band of Spanish gold hunters, who were working a rich mino somewhere in this part of we country. The miners quarrelled and finaliy fought, and their ou resulted in the abandonment of the mme, though it was very, rich. Martinez was wounded and died on the way home. With his blood he traced a chart, which was to be a rich legacy to s chuldren. A faithful friend delivered the document, which soon afterward was lost, and only recently turned up. Martinez's descendent was told of two mines up north that minerologists have de- clared were worked by Spaniards huudrods of y ago. His party was not heard of until to-day, when a hunter numed Keller reported that his party had discovered their bodies. xicans had been shot and were somewhat cut up by knives, show- ing that the struggle was a hand to hand one. There were evidences that the yictori- ous party had los, three or four men, and they had made a hasty departure, carrying the dead and wounded with them. ‘What surprised the hunter most was, to find that the ming ntly been worked. Tt is not known that a pickaxe had touched it since two men starved to death there in 1877. There is reason to think that the San Salvador was not the mine described their chart, and that the murderers have taken the map and gone off to locate the ancient mine, The fact that the Mexicans’ horses and tools were takengs and their jewelry and some money were not removed from their bodies, seems to prove this Kelle there was every dication that the San Salvador mine paying, and believes that the mine sought for by the Mexicans is not far from the other, and is known to the party who were at work. No one here knows who the murderous pros- pectors were, and as the region in which tha events oceurred is almost inaccessible, it is not likely that anybody will work the old mine and bury the Mexicans before spring.
