THE OMAHA DAILY BEE. TWENTY-FIRS TRAIY ROBBING AS A FINE ART Daring and folentific Work on the Mil- waukee & 8t, Paul, THEY COULD NOT GET INTO THE SAFES, Giant Powder One of ths Necessary Adjuncts of Progressive Robbers — Btory of the Daring Deed Told by Witnesses of It MiLwavker, Wis., Nov. 12.—The midnight train from Chicago on the Milwaukee & St. Paul road was robbed by masked men near Western Union Junetion at 1 o'clock this morning. The train had been out of tho junction (which s twenty-throe milos south of this place) about half a mile, when Fire man Edward Averill, who was putting coal Into the furnace, was startled by a noise be. hind hin. Ho turned around and discovered two masked men clambering over the engine tender. Both levelled thoir doublo-barrelled guns at the firoman and Engincer Mckay with the injunection Looked Into the pele of Shotguns, “Don’t move an inch until we tell you to or we will blow the top of your head off " Engineer May was directed to run the train to within a point about one mile from Western Union Junction. Here ho was com- manded to stop. Both engineer and fireman were then ordered toget outof the cap. "T'hey wero marched to the expross car under guard and there the work of blowing open the express car bagan, Soveral bombs, the fireman thinks thoy were, were thrown into the car and terrific explosions, which must havo awakened evory passongor on tho train, followed. But nobody appeared on the scene. ‘Phe roboors, undoubtedly wero not loss than six or seven in number, judging from the manner in which they conducted opera- tions. Tho trainmen belicved they had a team close at hand with which to cart away the safes which were taken bodily out of the car. Story of the Fireman, Fireman Averill's story, which lows, 18 the most comprehensive: . ““Ihoy made me walk atead of them to the ‘express car,’” he said, ‘“and they gave me a jimmy to pry open the boxes. They got the messenger's keys though he was in no hurry to give them up and they will have no trouble in getting away with all the money. The train was hold for over half an hour. The entiro efforts of tho robvers centered on the express car, and not o passenger was molested.” 'The firemun thinks there wero half o dozen men, guarding tho coaches, howaover, “Less than five minutes out of Western Union Junction,” said Messencer Murphy, “tne train slowed up_suddenly. A musket was poked through tha top window of the car, and a second later a terrific explosion occurred, that knocked myself aud Cool in a heap. Half a dozen more explo- sions followed and both doors were blown off the bolts. ‘Then twomen wearing long black masks climbed quickly into the car and covered us with muskets, We were cau- tioned to maintuin silence at the penalty of getting our heads blown off. After glancing hurriedly about the car the robbers fastened their eyes on two 1ron boxes of the American Express company. The robbers brought the fireman in a litule later and went through all the boxes, they compelling us to hand over the . Thoy dumped the boxos out on the road Oucof the robbers kept us covered with bis musket all the time, while the other robber superintended the operatious of the fireman." ‘Well Paid for Their Daring. Messonger Murphy stated he had secured all the bills of the money contained in the safo and that the sum undoubtedly wasa very large one, It is probable the total amouut of the robvers’ booty will amount to $100,000 and possibly mcre, Ofiicials of the St. Paul road said the traiu which was held up was one which generally carried all the money roceived by the Mil- Wwaukeo banks from the east in the moruing. ‘Agont Beil of the American Express com- pony, said to a reporter that an approx mato statoment of the the amount taken by the robbers could _mot bo Jearned. Heo d local packages certainly were gouo besides the sums contained in two sealed onvelopes. Somo of tho passengers who wero asleen @id not know anvthing about the hold-up until the train arrived in Milwaukee, Some of the passengers thought thero were twenty or thirty robbers. Others thought they saw only adozen, whilo others said there were more robbers than passengers. When tho train started up again the passengers snw the safes lying beside the track, but the robbers had disappeared. How the Express Oar Looked. When the train arrived at the Union depot at 2:80 o'clock, the express car pre- sented an appearance that would in- dicato it had _ been attacked by heavy artillery. Ivery door und window had been blown out and the platform and walls were shattered in haif a dozon places, while its contents were piled in one indiscrim’ inate heap in the center of the car. Mes- sengor J. C. Murphy and his assistant, C. H. Cook, wero found gathering up the frag ments of waybills and looking over the rom nants left by tho robbers. Tho first fiows of the robbery was brought to Western Union Junction by the flagman. Milwaukeo and Racine police wero tole: graphed for immediately and Deteotive Han- sen was provided with a special train, on which he left at 2:40 o'clock, Says They Did Not G Cuicaco, 11k, Nov, 12.—Goneral Manager Eerling of tho St. Paul railway received a dispatch this worning suying that the rob- bers did not get any booty from tho express car held up near Western Union Junetion this morning. I'he dispatch said that the gaiuiug admission to the express car commanded the messenger to open the safes. He refused, and the safes were pitched out of the car onto the ground. In the meantimo the rear brakeman, under- stunding tho situation, rushed back to the Junction and got an engine. The engine and ® 0SS0 4t onco wont to the sceno and the robbers fled. 'Ihe robbers had tried to force open the doors of the safes, but were un- successful. ‘The train went on to Milwauke sud tho fast mail train, which left Chicago later, pieked up tne safes una cai ried thom to Milwaukoe. Puarsuing the Robbers, Tho polico of Milwaukee and the secrot service of the St. Paul system, together with tho sheriff of Recine county, avein pursuit of the robbers, Their thght was so hasty that they did not take tho precautions to cover thewr tracks, so the ofticials believe thoy will get them before noon today. Expross Messenger Murphy reported at the headquarters of the American Express company here and gave an accountof his experivice. He detailed the facts as given in the previous interview,adding that anum- bor of shots were fivea, Three robbers, aftor gamning entrance, demanded and RO the koys Lo the safo at tho muzzles of their uns. The engineer was then compelled to orce open the local safo coutaining money and valuables cousigned from Chnicago for points between Chicago and LaCrosse, - As toe through safes had combination locks the robbers were unable to get into them, The robbers then compelled the trainwen to as- sist in throwing these treasure boxes from he car and the firoman, messenger and his helper ordered to leave the Lhey wore followed by three robbers with rifles leveled upon toem.

They Make an Unsuccessful Attempt to Hold Up a Train. BiryiNeiay, Ala., Nov. 12.—A story comes from Collinsvillo on tho Alabama Great Southiern road that sounds very much like an attempted train robbery, Early last night the agent at Collinsville hoard that an at- tempt would be made to rob the southbound express which passed there about 12 o'clock. Shortly afterward fifteen nicely dressed men came in and took possession of the station, refusing to vacate when locking up time came. ‘The ageut then callod on the local authorities and the mayor.

THROTTLED THE ANARCHISTS. Ohicago's Police Make a Well Timed Raid on the Rabid Ranters, RED MOUTHED DECRIERS OF THE FLAG. Captured While in Session at the Old- Time Rendezvous—Incendiary Boasters Lodged in the Police Station. Cuicaco, T, Nov. 12, throw of the Haymarket urmed anarchists tonght again met the Chicago police, The result was a most ignominous defeat for tho men of the red flag. A mass meeting of the most radical element was announced to be held this evening in Grief's hali, 54 West Lako street, a placo celebrated in tho annals of Spies and Parsons and their followers, The decision unexpectedly displayed by the authorities 1ast night in compelling the anarchists at the West Twelfth street Turner hall gathering to hoist the stars and stripes had a discon- certing effect, and at the last mo- ment tonight it was decided to make the Griefs hall gathering secrot and to admit only & few of the most trustod spirits. Accordingly tho maa- ter of ceremonies, Thomas Grief, proprietor of the big saloon below the hall, anuounced that his space up stairs had all been prov- fously engagod, thus dismissing the general rabble. ‘Chose who could be depended upon were told to quietly go to the third floor, where a meeting would be held, Up three flights of stairs in the place indicated there gathored many of those who were lead- ors in the rauks before tho Haymacket riot. Speeches wero mado in English and German and the enthusiasm was groat. Couldn’t Fool the Police, The American flag was not thero, It was thought that tbe police had been com- plotely hoodwinked and there was no danger of any wtrepid officor command- ing them to respect the bavuer that protected thom. In this, however, the reds were at fault. Inspector Lews, in charge of that division of the city, has seen too much of Chicago to beliove that the fanatics would allow themselves to bo deprived of a chance to ery for blood and anarchy. A aotective had boen for several days cultivating the acquaintance of the men who were leadors during the exciting times of five yearsago. This man was admitted tothe meeting, and his superiors informed of all that was gowmg on. Soon word came that very inflammatory speeches were being made, and that a number of those in the weeting were displaying arms and boast- ing of the use they would put it to in case the police interfered. In tne saloon below fully 200 men were cathered, and although no orgamzed meeting was held tuero, speeches scarcely less in- cendiary than those above ware being made and it was evident that trouble might oc- cur at any moment. Police Were in Readiness. Within a bomb's In the historic Dos Plaines street polico station a few squares distant, Iuspoctor Lewis had 100 men in uniform, and surround- ing the building in which the mecting was being neld were about fifty detectives in citizens clothes. Suddenly a signal was given by the man in the meoting and a concerted raid was made. The nonunitormed oficers guarded the rear of the building and allowed no person to leave. The blue coats entered tho frout door and in less than sixty seconds afterward the meeting on on the upper floor was broken up, and those who had been making the speeches to the crowd in tho saloon werc under arrost. S0 quick was the onslaught tho auarchists wero taken completely by surprise ana be- foro thoy had time to recover themselvos enough to make any serious resistance, they saw the hopelessuess of their cause. They All Weakened, Inspector Lewis and Captain Mahoney marced at tho head of the column of police ofticers from tho station and werc tho first to eater the saloon. The pro- prietor, Grief, saw the blue coats as they entered and attempted to shut the doors in their faces. iiis offort, however, was futile, as one blow from an officers’s club shattered tho glass and auother burst the door open and the double stream of officers poured into the room. The men who a moment befora had been bonsting of their intention to burl defiauce 1nto tho teoth of the Chicago polico made a rush for the doors in the roar, but at the sight of the guns there displayod, halted and, with one or two exceptions, showed symploms of cowardico and fear. *“Throw up your hands,” shouted Inspector Lowis. At tho commana 400 hands went into the air and the officers commenced searching for weapons. ‘Those who were found to pos- sess revolvers or other arms were placed under arrest and the others were hustlod 1nto the street and told to at once leave the vicinity, One Murderous Wretch. Onolittle fellow who wore a flaming red necktie and who had Imbibed freely of the villianous liquor sold over the bar, resisted the ofticer who attompted to seach him. Ho backed agninst the wall and drew from his pocket a wicked looking revolver and with & muttered curse snapped it in the faco of his captor. Fortunately the cartridge missed firo and before the would-bo murderer could again press tho trigger a blow from the ofticer's club knocked the gun from his hands. Another bloodthirsty individual en- deavored to uso his revolver, cursing agmnst the police and law. His weapon was knocked from his hand. He declared him- self an anarchist who was ready to aie and defled the police to shoot him. Kesistance on the Stairs, In the meantime & squad of police under Lieutenant \Wneeler bad started to ascond the stairs. They met resistance from Grief and from an unkuown man, who drew from his overcoat pocketa loug revolver, declar. ing be would shoou the first oficer who put foot on the stairs, Those two wen wero quickly overpowered aud twenty-five stalwart policemen rushed up the staivs and broke into the hall in which the secrot meeting was being held. A num- ber of men wore arrested here, a large amount of inflamatory lterature was cap tured and a nuwber of red flags wero torn trom the walls and destroyed. Within the secret portals resistance encountered by the police came from three unknown men, who in the rusu escaped. This trio jumped behind tho bar as the oMcers entered and began throwing bottles and giasses. A number of officers wero struck, but not seriously hurt, Among those arrested was ono of the ed- itors of the Arbeiter Zeitung, & German duily, the successor of Spies and P arsons' rabid sheet, aad which, like its predecessor the only real | published largo amount of lucoudiary mat- ter and has pronounced amarchistic prin- ciples. This man was making a specch in the secret moeting whem the officers en- tered. When ho was locked up in tho Des Plaines street station he made a plea for his release, claiming that he was in the meeting in the eapacity of reporter. His ples wholly failed of its purpose. Among the other prisoners ware tho fol- lowing, cach of whom carried revolvers and attempted to resist the ofticers: Jobn I sel, Ernest Ruopert, Henry Miller, David Sutter, Charles Langren, Henry Dneiper and Androw Weiss. These men are all known to the police, and several of them were promi neut in the ranks of the anarchists six years ago when the red flag was so often seen on the streets of Chicago. To Stamp Out the Reds. Inspoctor Lowis announced while the prisoners were being booked that tomorrow he would demand the reyocation of Grief's license as a beginning of an active stamping out of tho reds, He added that while he was in command in the division no meotings would be held with tho intéuticn of inciting revolution or anarchy. rief,” said the inspector, ‘“was, T con- sider, responsible to a larze degree for the uprising of May 4, 1886, and I intend to make him an example. Touight ho told me that there was no meeting being held in his build- ing bosides one cailed by the painters, and when I demanded that my men be allowed to search he point blank refused. Then I had to use force and the result shows the nature of the people he has around him.” Officer Lehn, ono of those in citizens clothes, who was in the crowd before the raid was made, reported that one of tho speakers said that tho anarchists were now stronger than ever bofore, and that they were prepared to givo the police a big dose of the medicine administered on tho 4th day of May, 1886, Ofiicer Wessler, another of the detectives, who was in another group, listened to a har- rangue froma long-haired orator, who de- clared that tho police had no right to interfere with * any meeting, and that the time will soon come when tho police force will be compietely annibilated. This man was particularly bloodthirsty and declared that he intended to aevote his life to the causo of anarchy and was willing to “die for the good of the cause. He was among those arrested, but he re- fused to give his name at the station. With Them All Day. Officer Wilbmasky had spent the day among the loudest of the anarchists. Ie was treated to a particalarly interesting speoch, having been allowed to enter a sortof caucus, attended only by those supposed to be willing to lay down their lives just as did Spies and his comrades. Ho was told that every policeman ought to be hung, but as that was impessible the reds would have to satisfy themselves by assassination. He then listened w blood-curdling utterances of how the city authorities should all be de- stroyed, One enthusiastic red made a virulent attack against Mayor Washourne, the capitalistic press and their supporters, toe police ana the militia. _ ile declared that the time was not, far distagt when dynamite would be used to destroy the capitalist and when the only law woula bd the rignts of the individuul, . Most of the prisoners werd released before 1 a. m., Thomas Grief going on & wajority of their bonds. The amount of bona in each case was $600. Hisscd a Promise of Revenge. As Griof loft the station he fairly hissed his promise to wreak a terrible revenge upou thoso who had caused him 50 much trouble. He said that his daughter, a young laay about 20 yoars of age, who has been very sick for several days, was so frightened by tho inva- s10n 0f the police that sho falnted and great fears were exprossed by the attending vhy- sicians that she would not recover from the shock. Officor P. H.Sullivan,who was theman that vefore they gained admittance to the secret meeting told Inspector Lewis that one of the speakors declared that tne saloon below was full of Pinkerton mon and polico and that ouly for them an open meeting could bo held. Ho then proposed a revival of the use of dy- namito bombs and also a revival of the group system by which means so-much was ac- complishod. e e UNEASINESS IN CHINA.

Rebellion Against Da Fonssea in Rio Grande do £ul Prospering, ONE TOWN ATTACKED AND CAPTURED. Lattle or No Resistence Offered—Plans of the Rebels—Governmental Com« plications in Chili—Peru- vian News. [Copuright 1801 by James Gordon Bennelt.) Varraraiso, Chill, (via Galveston, Tex.) Nov. 12,—[By Mexican Cable to the Herald Special to Tre Bre. |—Latest advices from tho state of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil say that the revolt against Dictator da Fonseca continues to sproad. The wsurgonts' ranks are increasing in size hourly aud the rebels show great bolduess. One band, fully armed, attacked and cap tured the town of Santa Anua on the river Sino, north of the capital, Porto Alegro. They wero led by General Fernandez. A number of prisoners were taken. Very little resistance was made to tho rebels, and as a consequence no one was kiiled or wounded in the capture of the place. This would inar- cate that Santa Anna, which hasa popula. tion of 2,500, was at heart friendly to the vevolutionists, Notwithstanding the report the garrison of Ynguaron had gone over to the insurgeuts, 1t is now stated that the town ijtself remains faithful to the cause of the Fonseca, Yugua- ron. Santa Victoria and Porto Alegro are said to bo the only towns tho dictatorship. All the others in Rio Grande do Sul are said to have espoused tho side of the rebels, The revolutionists are renorted to have raised large bodies of volunteer troops. In- cluded in their force aro five regiments of - fantry and one of cavalry which doscrted da Fonseca as soon as the revolt was pro- claimed. What They Are Driving At. The plans of the insurgents arenot yet fully understood, but it is said that they will lose no time in attacking tho towns of Yn- guaron, Santa Victoria and Porto Alegr which remain true to the dictator, Their object seems to be to gain possession of theso vlaces bofore the arrival of the gunboats, monitors and transports which da Fouseca has sent to Rio Grande do Sul to quell the Insurrection. Rio Grande do Sul is the stronghold of Gasver Siveira Mar- tins, the former president of that state, who was exiled at the time of the de- thronement of Dom Pedro, and who was afterwards permitted to return to Brazil They are known as Gasparitas. Martins is regarded by them as tho chief of the liberal party it Brazil The 80,000 Germans in the state are said to be among the warmest partisaus of dn Fonseca. A goodly portion of them served in the German army. Theroare some 6,000 Brazilian soldiers in Rio Grande do Sul. They form nearly one-half of all the govera- ment forces, The spirit of discontent has often manifested itself fn their ranks. One Aged Rebel. Visconde Poletas, who is said to be one of the chiefs of the revolutionists, is $2 years old and was former governor of Rio Grande doSul. The governorship was placed in his hands after the fall of the empire. He suc- ceeded Martins, He was a warm friead of Martins, and his fall becoming known to his government, he was ousted from oftico and Marechal de Frota appointed in his place. He also was a a friend of Mactins, and was succeeded by the presont governor, Castillio, whose loyalty to da Ionseca does not appear 1 be in the least questioned.

[Copyrighted 1891 by Ja :es Goraon Bennett.] Varparaiso, Chili (via Galveston), Tox., Nov. 12 —[By Mexican Cavle to the Herald Special to Tue Bee.|—The complications that have arisen in the provisional govern- ment on account of the resignation of Mini ter of tho Iuterior Irrazabal and Minister of Agriculture Joaquin Walker Martinez scems in a fair way of being straightened out. As I cavled you yesterday, they surrendered their offices because tho dominant liberal party had failed to elect conservative coun- sollors of state, as it is alleged thoy had agreed todo. It is now reported that two members of the council of stato stand ready to resign, rather than causo any political i1l feeling. 1f this action is taken, it will creato vacancies on the council for two con- servatives, This will do away with the cause of discontent that led to the resignations of the two ministers named, and also to stop Mumistor of Koroign Afairs Matta and other members of the junta’s cabinet from st rrendering their portfolios, as it was rumored yestorday thoy would. T'no resignations of Ministers Irrarazabel and Walker Martinez have not been accepted by thejunta. It is reported that in view ot the concessions made to thuir party they will ro- tain their portfolios. If is hoped by all the friends of the new government that thoy wiil 0 s0, as party strife av tuis critical stage of the country's affairs would be deplorable, and tend to hinder that complete restoration of peacefulness which i« so desirable, The name of the doctor whose services as surgeon-general in the junta’s army have been rewardod by President-eloct Jorge Montt 1s Olof Page, not Paz, as I cabled y torday.

AT RIO DE JANIERO, How the Rebellion is Viewed from the Capital of Brazil, [Speeial Correspondence of the Associated Press.) 110 JANEIRO, Oct. 14, -~Tho state of affairs hero at present is by no means satisfactory. In nearly cvery respect mattors aro going wrong. T'ho last two years the country has been flooded with ~ irredeomable papor money, now amounting nominally to about 250,000,000 and dopreciated to less than 56 per cent ot its nominal value. In conseqaenco of the do- pression of the currency and burdensomo taxes all necessaries of life cost exorbitant prices, which aro constantly rising. Under these circumstances it is not surprising that these should be suffering and discontent, and that strikes and disturbances, at one time almost unknown here, should have become frequent. It is said that tho president, who Is auito 111, has not been informed of tho rioting in this city. ‘I'he s93sion of congress was to terminate tomorrow. but that body has voted to pro- long its sitting to_the 15th of November. It has not yet voted any of tho appropria- tions nor any of the organic laws for the exe- cution of the provisions of the constitution. Iver sinco o fow months ago it has heen at loggerheads with the presideat. Al- though tho congress has nccom- plished very littlo actual legislation, it has aiscussed some very imnortant measures, one of which is a bill framed by a joint committee of the two Louses for im- proving the currency of the country. It nas shown a disposition to roduce tnd expenses of the government, which is vor as thoy have incroused sinco 1833 from §i7, 000,000 to $180,000,000 per annum. The sanitary condition of the city is very bad at prosent. Last month thero were 1, 133 deaths from smallpox. and recently ‘the weather has been unseasonably warm and there have been some deaths from yellow fever. Most of the states are aking preparations for being well represented at the Chicago exposition, and President Deodoro da Fon- scen has asked congress for an appropriation of §0,000 for tho expenses of the Brazlian exhibit. Most of the state legislatures will malke appropriations for the same purpose. 1t is stated that the Brazilian government will ask for a revision of tho reciprocitv agreement with the United States. For this purpose, it is said, a plenipotentiary will shortly bo sent from herc on_a special mis- sion_fo negotiato in the matter jointly with the Brazilian minister av Washington. “The interior of the state of Babia 1 suffor- ing very much from drouth, in consequence of which, it is sad, the state has lost by death and'immigration, over 60,000 inhabit- ants.

Foreign Influcnce at Work. WasniNaroy, D. C., Nov. 12.—The Bureau of American Republics has, from semi- oficial sources, the following information in rogard to thegpresent condition of affairs in Brazil: The telographic and other nows which ~comes from or via London is often entircly false and generally distorted and magnified. British jealousics of the increasing influence of the Udited States in Brazil and the fear of losing commercial supremacy in_that country are the motives which fnspire the false and alarming dispatchos concerning political dis- turbances in Brazil. In Rio Grande do Sul the situation is pe culiar and needs somo special explanation.

Forciolo rosist- ance was oftered to the installa- tion of tho governor-elect, who wus the candidate of the republicans.

Louray, Boulangist, Makes Sorious Oharges in the Frenoh Chamber, HE ATTACKED THE ROTHSCHILDS, Temperate Reply of th of Finance to the Crisis Not Yet —~i'rench Ministes ade— Passed News., [Copurtght 1891 by James Gordon Rennett.) Panis, Nov. 12.—|Now York Horald Cable Special to Tur Brk,|—That which the government tried to provent has happened. ‘The chamber of deputies has taken hold of tho financial uestion, and the full of valuos on the Stock exchange. M. Lauray, tho Boulangist deputy, opened the ball by putting a question to the minister of finance und framing an issue on the brond question of anti-Semitism M. Louray is not a particularly well balancod man, aud 15 apt to go off at. half cock. His specialty during the Boulanger days was making pop- ular and nervy sensation, Nowadays he has lost the ear of the house, and this explains the iil success of his interpellation. M. Lauray accused the minister of finance with gambling on the bourso and charged the governwent with having enjoyed the bitter satisfaction of placing the eredit of the na- tion in the hands of & close corporation of Jowish bankers, “The Jowish bankers aro tho mnsters of France. The Jewish bankers” continued M. Lauray, ‘can bring about & gold crisis in all countries where they have any foothold. Tn France they have now enforced the minister of finance to enter o very questionable combinatious in order to find gold enough to carry on the functions of tho government. The Amevican govern- ment was obliged to enter mto en- gagomonts with & financial house in the United States, whoreupon the Rothschilds sent wmoney to Brazl, Baron Rothschild is a mauvais Francais and we should consequently imitate the United States and coin our own gold."” M. Lauray concludad a very violent tirade by saying that all the Jowish baukers in France should at once be expelled. Dignificd Reply to the Tirade. M. Rouvier, the munistor of financo, de- clavea that it was altogether beneath his digmty to reply to the personal attacks of M. Lauray, and that should the house of Kothschilds remove its offices from Paris m consequence of such uncalled- for personalities, that it would be a misfor- tune for the nation. M. Rouvier said that there was no drain of gold from France and that it was impossi- blo to reproach hiw with entering into ques tionable negotiations with the Rothschilds, who huve always administered their finan cial interests and French interests with good judgment and wisdom. The specch of the minister was vory short, but it satisted the chamber. The deputies who saw that a hostile yote would lead to a terribly financial orisis, passed to the order of the duy by 431 t0 32. In other words the chamber expressed its beliof that it would be a mistake to endorse the speech of either M. Lauray or M. Rouvier. Not Yet Out of the Weods. e ministry is still in an unpleasant fix. After the vole, the radical deputies decided to interpellate the cabinet next week on the genoral policy of the government. They are anxious to see the ministerial situation settled before M. de Giers' urvival in Paris. The fear of offending Russia still counts for much in F'rench politics. A St. Petersburg dispateh announces that M. Wischnegradsky, tho Russian minister of finance, bas been very ill for some days past and that he has had uncontrollable fits of almost insano rage. On tho day before yes- terday ho insulted and aismissed a doputa- tion of St. Potersbucg merchants who had called to ask a small service of him, France is organizing a new colonial expedi tion. The council of ministers has deter mined to send an expeditionary force to Touat toonpose the aggressions of Morocca and occupy the district which is belioved to be indispensabloe to the safety of the French possessions in Algeria, Accordiug to the government the object of the expedition will e merely the restoration of ordor in Touat. Expericuco has taught us that adventures of this kind cost dearly.

The tone of tho color will depond upou the solar rays passing through tho earth's atmosphore and thelr operation upou the lunar disk.
