THE OmaHA DAILY BEE. TTWENTY-FIRS FATHER OF THE NEW FRANCE. Monument to Leon Gambetta, Who Declared the Republic HIS HEART BURIED AT l]’S BASE. Quict But Emotionally Tmpressive Ceremony at the Villa d'Auvray —Gift the People of Alsace-Lorraine. of (Copyright 1891 by James Gordo n Bennelt.] Panie, Nov. 8.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Bre.|—Today thero was inaugurated at the villa d’Auvray a monument erected by 15000 natives of Al Lorraine to the memory of Giambetta. The mouument represents the Great French orator, bearing in his arms the French colors, at tho feet of Alsace and Lorraine. Never has Bartholdi, the designer of tho statue of of Liberty in the harbor of New York, dono ter work, M. Bartholdi tells mo that many subscrip. tions camo from Now York, Chicazoand San Francisco, and I am happy to tell the sub- scribers that theie money has been well used. The monument is situated in tho gar- den of the house where the great orator died—the house formerly occupied by Balzac, the great novelist, doubly precious, therofore, to Frenchmen. Gambetta's Heart Entombed. Before the Inauguration of the statue a terribly moving ceremony took place, Iu the little vault at the foot of the monument the heart of Gambetta was deposited, After Gambetta's death Dr. Manand mado an autopsy in the little badroom that today is filled with flowers, M. PPaul Bert rece Gambetta’s heart, and when he wont to 'Ton- kin it was thought that the heart was lost. This, however, was a mistake. M. Bert had placed the heart in an fron box and left it at the houso of his sou-in-law, whence it was brought tolay. Every one was much filoved when tho outer coverings of the glass jar were romoved. [t contained a red mass, floating in alcohol, fifvaon contimotres, nearly six inches deap, darker noar the top than at the bottom. It was the hoart of Gambatta, which once had the honor of being tho he: of Franco. It excitos sorrowful reflections, whon one ro- mombers that this grand and generous heart no longer boeats, The ceromony also was very sorrowful. The sky was overcast. It was cold, and thora was the fog which has been so well paintsd by the great artist Carot, auother inhabitaut of ,the villa @' Auvray, Tho house was empty exc bld photographs on the walls and ar wreaths ot flowers, ¢Caused Profounad Around the monument were friends and admirers, men who do uot forget the past while thinking of the future. It need aston Ish 110 one to be told that a profound emotion was felt among the throug of spectators. The oeromony itself was very -simple; no soldiers, no ofticial pomp. The wreaths bearing the titles “Alsac und “Lorraine” were greeted with great enthusi- asm. There were two addresses made, both very peaceable in tone, thut of the mnister of wstvuction, M. Bourgeois, especially being very moderate, And now Gambetta has a monument at the spot where ho died. His memory will not die out in France. While leaving I heard it said in the crowd that the two men who had in the last twenty years enjoyed the greatest popularity in France died from pistol shots—Gambetta and Boulanger—but that was the only resem- blance between the two men each of whom had held his country in his hands—one for good and the oti.er for evil, Setback For the Government. Tho government has just met with a sorious check. In upite of its efforts, the so- cialistic candidate, M LaFargue was wday eloctod deputy from the department Du Nord. M LaFargue is now iu jail for parti pation in @ riot, ‘Comorrow the radicals will demand his release, which the government will refuse, It is anuounced that the emperor of Austria- Hungary will deliver a very peacoful dis- course to the Hungarian delegates, and it 1s also stated that the address that the marquis di Rudini will dehver at Milan, where he will show Ttaly’s hand politically, willialso be filled with peacoful sentiment.

NOT THE SLIGHTEST TRUTH IN THE REPORT or the First Time Since the Mob's Assault on the Americans the Crew Has Night [Copyrighted 1891 by Ja ies Goraon Bennett.] Varraraiso, Chili, (via Galveston, Tex.) Nov. 8.—|By Mexican Cable to the Herald - Spozial to Tiie Bee.] ~Captain Schley and the other officers of the United States war- ship Baltimorearo indignant at the yarn about its sinking, for there is not the loast sembianco of truth in the rumor. Thoy know that 1t will have caused a great deal of untecessary anxlety among their families, friends and the people generally of the United States. The utmost quietude pro- vails this morning in this city and in the harbor where the Baltimoro is lying, as peacefully as if she were in home waters and nothing had happened to disturb life aboard ship. Her stowards, for several days past, have gone ashore to do necessary marketing under the protection of a polico guard furnished by Intendente Arlequi. Tho officers will bo granted leave by their captain to land tonight. Although as a matter of fact, no threats have been mado nor any signs given that violence would be attempted, should the Amwerican ofiicers appear again on Valpa- raiso’s streets, Captain Schley, in order to be on the safo side, and s an act of prudeace, had stopped night leave until today. In reply to'a lotter sent Captain Schley, asking him to alow the victims of tho recent riot to be- fore the court of inquiry and tell Judge Foster what thev know of the out- rageous assault upon them, Captain Schloy sent word that ho was willing to grant them nermission to testify on certain conditions. The injured men would first have to be on- tirely recovered in healtn aund the officers of the Baltimore must be permitted to be pres eut at the inquiry while their men are giving evidenco. Captain Schley also agreed to give tho court acovy of the information about the assault sent to the United States govern- ment. CHILI'S ¥OUNG BLOOD. Admiral Montt Compelled to Call the Hotheads to Time. LCopuright 1891 by James Gordon Bennett.] VALParaiso, Chili, (via Galveston, Tex.) Nov. 7.—[By Mexican Cable to the Herald —Special to Tue Bee.]—In the notice issued last night by lutendente Carlos Liva to the crowd of hot headed young Chilians at San- tiago who were unduly exciting themselves about the alleged vlot to assassinate Colonel Canto, he not only said there was no truth in the stories published in some of the local papets, but adaed that no arrests had been made in connecticn with the af- tair. This, as I cabled you last night, caused the crowa to disperse. Intendente Lira said that the charges so far made did not authorize a judicial lnvosti- gation, as they were too yague. Although several persons had been denounced, ho could find no remson to prosecute those singled out for the attack. He criticised severely the papers responsible for the charges, The meeung of the young men on the plaza at Santiago passed resolutions, as cabled, and then appointed a committes to wait upon President-clect Jorge Moutt and ask him, 1 view of the reported attempt to kul Canto, the fact that public opinion held tho refugees in the United States legation culpable and also the common behef that dictatorial sympathies had not been stamped out in cortain parts of the country, to see that justice was meted out to the Balmacedists who were protected by the American minister, Admiral Montt's Position, Admiral Montt's reply was admirable. He said that ho fully appreciatod the eenorous and patriotic sentiments of the young men of Santiago and of the people at large, but at the samo time he was impellod to state that the junta hsd had no further information re- lating to the plot than that published in cer- tain papors, [n its conduct of affairs, he said, the junta had to be governed by tho laws of the country. It was it® duty to' see that these l@ws wero faithfuily administered. In regard to the charge that the United States legation sheltered refugoes who wero still engaged in plotting mischiof, he knew posi- tively that Mivister Egan had inderdicted tho sending out of lotters by refugees unless the letters wero subjocted to nspection, If any such message had left the legation, Ad- miral Moutt added, ho was sure that it was without the knowledgn of Minister Egan, and that 1f the matter had been brought be- foro Mr. Egan, he would have caused the prompt expulsion of the offender from the asylum, Montv's remarks are the strongest sort of evidence that ue desires to protect the lega- tion and this belief is stcongthened by the presence of a squadcon of cavalry in tho vicinity of the logation during the time that the meeting on the plaza was going on, SITUATION IN BRAZIL, Newspapers Commanded to Make No afavorable Comments, [ Coprright 1891 by James Gordon Bennstt.| VALPAKAISO, Cbili (via Galveston), Tex., Nov. 8. —[By Moxican Caolo to the Herald Special to Tne Bre|—Advice from Rio Janeiro stato that the new dictatorial g varument has prohibited the bolding of public meetiugs until all signs of Lteasivess puss entirely away. ‘The newsp ers aro commanded not to make any remarks about Da Fonseca's dissolution of congress or gictatorial procla- mation, There are many evidences that the ropublican party is disgusted with the acts of the president, Baron Da Lucena is the ouly one of the ministry who remains in the dictator's cabinet and he is regarded as au imperialist.

The navy yard authorities denied the rumored sinking of the United States war vessel Baltimore at Valparaiso, It was said that the officers and crew of the Balti- more exorcise the same vigilauce as in war times, and the torpedo nets about the vessel would save her from sudden attucis. The unusual bustle and activity at the navy yard is said not to be due to the re- ported sinking of the Baltimore, but it is con- ceded that the strained relations between this country and Chili has given the govern- ment much anxiety to get all its war vessels ready for any possible contingency. VairLeso, Cal,, Nov, 8.—There is great hc- tivity in the nuvy yard. Machinists were at work all day today, Sunday, on the Mohican and will work again tonight.

The accident was caused by the explosion of a safety lamp, the fames of which 1gnited the gas.

As usual tho store was opon until 10 p, m. and the procoeds of tho cash sales after the closing of the baok had been placed in the safe, which stands in the rear of the office oty the second floor, Several holes had boon drilled into the oute sido door probably with the intention of driving in a bolt and breaiing the tumblers of the lock. The door did not yield and fop some reason the attempt was given up. Sorgeant Whalen investigated the case and at once looked for tho mode of entranca to the building. It was found that the thioves had in some way climbed onto the roof of the building and descended into the storo by means of tho skylight. Judging from tho fact that the attempt was given up it is supposod that the crooks wero frighte ened away. Nothing else in the storo was disturbed. Other Attempts at Robbery. Probably thinking Douglas street a good place to work and not wanting to leave that vicinity empty handed, tho safeblowers next visited tho wall papor store of Beard & Otis, 1817 and 1319 Douglas streot. Entrance was effected by cutting a panel from the rear door. Thesafo was opened without a great deal of trouble, and the steel cash box broken out. The contents, amounte ing to §1.00, was appropriated,and tho thieves departed. “Theve is a police oficer on Douglas streot, whose beat is from Twelfth to Fiftoenth street, but not a sound was heard by either the police or block watchman, Considering that Douglas street between Thirtcenth and Fourtsenth streots is the busicst straet in the city at night, the rob- bers were particularly daring, Cabmen and messevger boys are about all night and are passing every few minutes from dark until dawn, but this fact evident- 1y did not bother tho burglars, who are sup- posed to be a thoroughbred gang of experts, It was also reported to the police yesterday that tho basement of the McUord & Brady wholesale grocery store at the corner of Thirteenth and Leavenworth stroets was broken into during the night and thirteen barrels of sugar carted away. Scarcely a might passes but some one is held up, a hiouse entered or a safo blown and the police are completely rattled. Every one on the force is making a special offort to cap- ture the gang, but so far all their offorts have been unavailing. All classes of crooks are swarming into Omaha and on account of the small number of patrolmen fiud it an easy matter to carry on their aight raids.
