That the at terhpted crime was premeditated and vorn of imalice 18 unquestioned, Tho rear door of tho bullding was pried open with somne im- plement and the fire started in a small loft used for storing picture frames. The loft1s reached by a stop laddor kept in the gallery for that purpose and contains a small door, the only opening.Just inside this door the firo was located but the incendiary lost his cun- ning at the iast moment and closed the door, shutting of any possible draft, which alone prevented tho fire from extending. p Mr. Campbell visitea the gallery early this morning by appointment with a customer and found the rooms full of smoke. The fira was still smoldering and had partly burned tarough the coiling. Campbell declines to mako any accusations but many citizens aro freo in charging the matter toono or more of the gang of gamblers of the city. The gambling rooms that wero raided re- cently are on the same floor of the building in which Mr. Campbell lives, and the parties arrested charge Campbell with beiug the in- stigator of their arrest. The building it was sought to destroy is in the heart of the busi- ness center, and there 1n no tellng the amount of damage that might have resuited haud the fire flends not beon foilad in their dastardly attempts.

Aithouzh two days have passed since the resignation of the de Freveinet cabi- net, M. Carnot has not yot made up his mind whom to call in to succeed them. The prosi- dent seems much embarrassed. To politi- cians, however, the whole orisis is amusing enough. Every fow minutos some frosh rumor reaches the clubs, the newspaper of- fices and the minmsters, First it is whis- pered that M. Ribot has assumed the pro- miership, Then woare assurod that M. Constans is tho happy individual. Bach new report gains crodence for a time, and each of course is contradicted. Tha public and the president atone keep cool. ‘The excitement 1 confined to volitical circles and thore 1t is deep, so deep, indeed, that it has almost driven the pope's encyeli- cal making peace with the ropublic from mon’s minds, Yet that 1s more important to the domestio order than the publication of the name of the uew minister of posts and telegraphs. Up to the hour at which I scod you this message things remain unsettled. It 1s thought possible, however, that M de Frey- cinet will retain the war portfolio. By so aoing ne would mako it clear to all that the army and the defence of F'rance are moro mportant than political rivalries. Tho latest news is that President Carnot merely asked M. Ribot and M. de F'reycinet to retain their portfolios and that M. de I'reycinet declined to bind himself till tho ocabinet is formed. Although M. Ribot has as yot received no ofticial mandate regarding tho matter, a Ribot ministry is regarded as oxtremely probable. Emile Zola Talks Copyright. Politics does not monopolize attention. Paris 18 greatly interested in M. Zola's new novel “La de Baele,” the first installment of which has just been published. I called on the famous author today at his house, 21 Rue de Bruxelles. Ho was in his study when I entered—a room filled with bric-a- brac, tapestry and furaiture of every period, the faithful retlection of his own eclectic mind. The study was well supplied with books. M. Zola wore his working dress. A watch chain and a gold medallion hung from one of his pockets. He was arinking the third of the five cups of teain which he in- dulges every day. Iasked him totell the Herald the plot of Lis new book. “The Americans,” said he, avoiding a di- roctanswer to my question, ‘‘are a groat people, but they have queer ideas about Jitorary property. For twenty years past they have published my works without pay- ing me a centime for the privilege. Not sat- isfied with this, they have even gone to the leneth of putting my name on books I never wrote. For instance a concoction called ‘La Iille ae Nana' is sold in the United States as my work, though I should blush to be concerned in it. I fancied that the copyright 1aws would make things smooth, but find I was mistaken. On entering into negotiations with an American publishor regarding a new work, I was sent an agreement to sign, declaring that if any copies of the French edition of my book were allowed to enter the United States my Paris publisher and I would be prosecuted for pivacy. This was really a lit- tie too stroug, so I tore up the contract and concluded another. A second incident then occurred. The American publishers wno had undertaken the translation of my book sent me a protest, complaining that I' had de- coivad them as to the length of the work, which was much longer than they fancied, and would therefore cost more than their original estimate to publish. 1 sent thoso people to the right about, too. It was, 1 thiuk, the first time that my publishers had complained of getting too much for their money. As arule the cry is that they get too little,” It is a Story of War. Then M. Zola, who had mada these re- marks without bitterness, but in the tone of a man who had been rather put out by some petty trouble, after a short pause went on: “Butyon want to know tho subject of my novel. Well ‘La de Baele’ tells the story of the war of 1570, It is divided into three parts, each containing eight chapters, The first deals with the eveats which preceded Sedan. Io the secoud wo come to the battle wnd have all the ups and downs of the strug- glo narrated with groat minuteness. The third and last part narrates the sufferings of the Kronch prisoners and poasunts during the occupation of France by the Germaus and brings us to the commune, “There is very little love in the story. In the middle of the narrative I have introduced two soldiers, one a peasant aud the other a lawyer. hey swear friendship during the war. Both aesert, aud the peasant kills the lawyer. In those Lwo characters I have sym- bolized rural J'rance, which is the real France, 41t bas been said that in my book [ had at- tempted to defend war in geoeral. This is false. I believe that war is both nevitable and abominable. My object was to say t0 wy compatriots: ‘See what war mean: Look what awaits you if you rush into war. Live well that you may be prepared to die well.' I never aiwed at justifying wars. It is monstrous.” What Iis Next Wil Be, M. Zola said all this in an exclted way and it was clear ho was wrapped up in his theory. In answer Lo a further question he said that “La de Bacle' would ve the longest of his works.

As a result about 800 wolves lio dead tonigbt. Both countios, and others adjoining, wero scoured by over 5,000 men, women and chil- dren armed in all conceivable ways. Two thousand jack rabbits were also captured in the general roundup.

There was but one accident, Thomas Por- kins of Farmingtoa being very seriously bit- ten by a couploof wolves. He will not re- cover, as he was torn fearfully by the infuriated animals. The hunt was divided into four lines each haviog moro than 1,000 men in the line. Each side .was fifty miles long, the square wifking to the central round up.

All the six participants were club members in active training, and each did his best to win one of the three medals put up by tho club. It was Indies’ night as well, and more than half of the members present were accom- panied by wives or sweethearts. A lengthy program had veen preparad, too long in fact, ut taking everything into consideration the entertainment was a very success{ul one. ‘I'he show opened - with & staading high jamp.

Heintz won tha runnivg high jump, feot, ten inches, . ‘The pole vaulting was rather long drawn out, but nevertheless furnished considerable amusement. Heintz won by vaulting eight feet four inches, Jast two inches more than Blair made, and beating Doody by haif a foot Blair put the shot thirty-two feet one inch, beating Heintz four incties and Doody five inches. The kicking contest occupied somo time and was an interesting exhibition. Blair walked away with the best score, making eight feet four inches, Doody followed with eight feat two inches, and Reeso made an eight-foot kick. 3 At the conclusion of the contests President Ames appeared 1 the center of the exercise floor and said that he took great pleasure in presenting to the successful contestants yho first medals ever awarded by the club for a contest, and in accordanco with the decision of the judges he presented Blair with the first meaal, Heintz with the second and Doody with the third.

Among those vpresent were General G. B Weaver, Ignatius Donnelly, Miss I 1. Wil- lard, B. J. Wheeler, C. M. Millor ana_others equally prominent in their party. The eatire alternoon was spont in discuss- ing the matter, but no decision was reached beyond a confirmation of the action of the conferenco hold at Chicago recently, at which it was dotermined that a cowmitteo composed of Dr. D L Matyr, Frances k, Willard, G. M. Millar, General Weaver, Mr, Donuelly, Samuel Dickie and 1. J. Whaoler should prosont to tho industrial conforonce a series of resolutions declating in favor of the issue of money by the general government in suficient quantitios to prevent tho in- torvention of private institutions, such money to be full legal tender; in favor of the sup pression of the saloon: in favor of govern ment control of transportation: opnosing alien ownership of land, with a limitation on any ownership, and favoring municipal suf- frago for women, with an educational qualift cation, This committee will therefore pro st theeo issues to the conferenco with a- re- quest that they be endorsed in the platform Will Split on the Liguor Question. It is understood that tho liquor plank will bo met in the conference with a counter proposition to the efloct when a stato lugis Iatos upon the question that logislation shall be rogarded by other states and tho foderal government, and the state protected in the enforcomont of its law on the questinn. A lively time is promised in the matter when tho full conforencn comes to consider it, ns one wing of tho industrial people, lea by General Weaver, are practically in ' favor of straight prohibition ond an alliance with the prohibitionists, while another, headed by G. I, Washburne and H. E. Taubencck iusist that eco- nomic reforms are sought by the bodies now gathering, and thay the liquor question should receive consideration later. Still it is erowing evident from oxpressions let fail thut tho prevailing sentiment will be in favor of somo action touching tho liquor question, though tho conference’s plunk will be more likely to fayor the nationulizition of the traflic thin the immediate absoluto sup. pression thereof. Held n s The executive committes of the people's party held a short session this morning, but attended only te routine matters. At today’s gathering of the National Citi- zon’s Industrial alliance, the first held here, the usua: committees were appointed at the worning session. An adjournment was then had until this afternoon, when twenty-five delegates to next week’s conference wero chosen. These delegatos wero instructed to support independent political action.

It was learned tonicht the Nutional zens Industrial allianco delo next week’s conference, tion to iheir support of an independent movement, to present only-one demand to the conference, that being that the constitu- tional right of ‘the government to coin money shall be recognized wnd that the government alone shall issue money to the peopie. The committee reporting the single demand was unanimous in its favor, aud also 1 favor of adding nothing more 10 1t. “The reason for the strong offorts of tho pronibitionists to secure tho adoption by tho industrial conference of a strong prohibition plank, is to secure the exclusion of the nationalization plank, supported by the Washburne-Taubeneck elemont. This nationalization scheme 1s practically govern went control of the liquor traflic, and 1s backed by the iberal cloment of the' indus- trialists, who belicve that thoy are swong enough to prevent any adoption of pro- hibition theories. rress | hort Session, Citi- es will enter iustructed in aac form Association, The Press Iteform association held another open session this morning, at which there wits & much more numerous atlendance than vesterday.
