OMAHA, SUNDAY MORNIN = @, DECEMBER 2, 1894. GOVERNORS TO SPARE Alabama Has One Mcre on Hand than the Law Contemplates. KOLB TAKES THE OATH BEFORE A JUSTICE Oates Sworn in at the Usual Time and in the Usual Manner, GOVERNOR JONES TAKES A FIRM STAND Wams the Populist Olaimant to Leave the Capitol Building Quietly. INAUGURAL ADDRESS FAOM A WAGON Khow of Mil Cartridges Evidently Overawed the with Belts Filled with Kolbites—Denounced Oatos us & Usurper, MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec. 1.—The state of Alabama now has two governors and two | separato sets of officers. Colonel Oates and those elected on his ticket preside at th state house. Captain Kolb and hiz con- tingent have not announced their official headquarters. The political situation in Alabama today has been a most one. This was the day set by law {nauguration of a governor and state The returns of the August election exciting for the icket. have shown the election of the democratic ticket | headed by Colonel Willlam C. Oates by over 27,000 majority. The legislature in joint ses sglon had regularly counted and announced the result. Captain Kolb, Oates' opponent, the nominee of the populists, charged fraud and claimed he had received a majority of the votes cast and was the rightful heir to the governor's office. He determined, there- fore, to be sworn in and was. At high roon, surrounded by members the legislature and with the usual pomp of military display, Colonel Oates took the oath of office upon the steps of the state capitol, standing on the very spot on which Jefferson Davis stood when he was sworn in as president of the southern confederacy. Numerous threats had been made by mis- guided friends of Kolb, and to avoid anything like violence, as well as to lend a spirit to the occasion, more than twenty companies of troops with cartridges in their belts were present and participated in the inauguration ceremonies, which were without any orderiy event. At Captaln Kolb's residence there was held a secret caucus of populist leaders. Gov- ernor Jones did not anticipate trouble, but was prepared to stamp it out promptly. “I ordered the military to carry ball cartridges 50 as to be ready for action if requested.” He regarded the threats and mutterings of Kolb as a bluff. As the morning wore on there appeared to be an increase in the number of country- men In the city. The militiamen ostentati- ously showed themselves ar, the street with their guns and their ammunition belts studded with ball cartridges. The Kolbites had not yet exhibited their guns. Goveruor Jones and his Staff came to the state house early in the morning and were busily engaged in making preparations to protect the inau- gural services from violence. At 10:30 the militia began to assemble at the armory. At a caucus of the Kolbites last night it was decided to gather at the state house today at 11 o'clock, one hour in advance of the in- auguration, and have Kolb sworn in. Some @ificulty was experienced in getting an officer to administer the oath, two populist judges sympathizing with the cause declining on the ground that they would lose their offices by being impeached for treason. KOLB SWORN IN, At 11 o'clock a message was received at the state house that Captain Kolb had taken the gubernatorial oath in a downtown office and was coming to the state house to make his speech. Governor Jones issued orders to give free access to the state house grounds as long s those who entered behaved In an orderly manner, Kolb was sworn in by James W. Powell, a Justice of the peace, the ceremony occur- ring In the law office of Warren Reese, and at the same time the oath was administered to J. C. Farville, as secretary of state; W. L. Lynch, as auditor; J. P. Oliver, superintedent of education, and Warren Reese, Jr., attorney genera Kolb and his cabinet then proceeded to the state house for the purpose of making a speech. He was followed by several hun- dred of his adherents. They marched up the state house steps through the rauks of the assembled militia and took their places beside tae identical portico upon which Jefrer- son Davis was declared president of (he confederate states. In a few minutes ernor Jones sent for Captain Kolb, who was escorted Into his presence by Irwin of the regular army. understand, sir,” sald Governor “that you propose to make a spe grounds, claiming to be bama.” That is my intention,” answered Kolb. “Then I must say to you that the moment you attempt it, T will have you arrested and carried off the grounds," said the governor. say this in all Kindness to you. If you were governor you would do the same thing in a similar case. I will not permit you or anyone else on these grounds to interrupt the Inauguration proceedings of Governor Oates.” Governor Jones' manner was courteous but firm. Captain Kolb looked around at the as- sembled troops and with a wave of his hand started down and out of the grounds, followed by his adhereats. They congregated again in the strest, outside the capitol grounds. A wagon stood near by and upon this Cap- tain Kolb mounted. He stated that the pro- ceedings would be opened with prayer. A Popullst clergyman mounted the wagon and at hils motion the crowd uncovered their heads. It was an impressive scene. Bvery man in the crowd was a plain countryman with rough clothing and high top boots. In simple words the clergyman luvoked the blessing of God upon the assemblage, “a piain people, oh, God!" he sald, “who are here to secure an honest government. 13 ADDING INSULT TO INJURY. Captain Roib, after a briet {ntroduction "Sald: “By frauds of the greatest character the title of the office has been conferred upon Colonel Oates. He is today adding in sult to Injury by accepting the highest office in your gHt, well knowing It is bestowed upon him by the traudulent acts of the party officials controlling the polls. I would, in- deed, be an ingrate if I fatled to protest here today in behalt of two-thirds of the white dis- Lisutenant Jones, h in these governor of Ala- voters of usurpation ““As outlined in my address to the people, I have taken the oath of office and been sworn In as governor de jure of this state. “It 18 the ballot which gives the right to the officers under the laws of Alabama, but that right has been suspended by false and traudulent election returns and the right to the office of governor has been prima facle conferred on Colonel Oates. I take the oath of office simply as a protest against usurpa- tion and fraud, and promise I will use all legal means at my command to set aside and hold for naught the fraudulent election re- turns by which he claims to be governor of Alabama. If a fair and honest contest law is passed by the present general assem- bly that would settle the trouble and be satisfactory to the people as well as myself. If this act of justice is denied us, then we will make an appeal to the general govern- ment, confidently relying on the justice of our cause and believing that in the end right will triumph and a true republican form of government be guaranteed to our beloved state.” Referring to Kolb's charges of fraud, Gov ernor Oates, in his inaugural, said: “It has been claimed that frauds were committed in the last August election. I have no knowl- edge whatever of any, and for the good name of our state regret that such charges have been made. I proclaimed in my spesches | Quring the campaign that I favored fair elec- tions, and so 1 do. I am satisfied beyond a doubt that I was legally elected by a large majority or I would mot accept the office. I would never assume the role of usurper in | | the absence of a law providing for a contest. | I regret there it not such a one. If there were frauds In the last August elections in | some of the counties of the black belt, as | charged by the defeated candidates, they are | 6t no consequence, for, after throwing out overy vote to which any reasonable man could possibly object, and admitting the entire vote | returned for my competitor as legal, which I | do not, my majority would then still be large.” Ho cautioned the people against violence, | and amid rousing cheers descended from the wagon. Kolb's place was then taken by Dr. Crow, from an adjacent place, who has made | desperate and bloodthirsty threats. “They call me an anarchist in this state, said he. “If being opposed to ballot-box thieving Is anarchy, then, thank God, I am one He called Governor Oates’ followers scoun- drels, and after cautioning peace called on every one present to meet him at night to form a company of people for the support of Kolb. There were not over 800 Kolbites in the crowd, and no sign of arms among them After this speech they dispersed, but pro. ceeded down town where they are enlisting in Crow's company, although the latter hae apparently no definite plan of action. A bat- tery of artillery has swung into position on the hill in front of the state house, and thg cavalry have been withdrawn. OATES TAKES THE OATH. At 2 o'clock Governor-elect Oates reached the state capitol escorted by the militia. The inaugural ceremonies were preceded by a prayer, after which Governor Jones intro- duced his successor, who was greeted with prolonged cheers. The oath of office was administered to him'on the spot where the oath of office was taken by Governor Jones and the formalities closed. ‘There was no trouble, and the incident appeared to b closed without the anticipated conflict. Alabama against such wilful KOLB MAY BE ASSASSINATED, Congressman-Elect Howard Says This is a Possible Outcome. BOSTON, Dec. 1.—Congressman-Elect M. W. Howard of Alabama (populist), was inter- viewed this morning on Alabama affairs Concerning the threatening aspect of the Inauguration of governor in Alabama, he sald: “Captaln Kolb must take matters in his own lands, as there is no method whereby the figures in a contest election can be verified. It he shall be arrested to prevent a pro- gressive action on his part, he will then bs enabled to have the entire matter brought before a state committee and have the irregu- larities inquired into.”” “But it would not surprise me at all,” con- tinued Mr. Howard, “if an attempt was made to assassinate Captain Kolb rather than to permit him to take the oath of office, I was myself told that I would be shot it I was heard to express certain sentiments which I was known to hold, and after at least one meeting 1 left the hall with a loaded revolver in my hand ready to use it in self defense, but fortunately was not called upon to do s0." Mr. Howard expressed great faith in the ultimate triumph of the populist sentiment in the south. SHOUP 18 A CANDIDATE, Idaho's Senator is a € tion from That State. WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.—Advices recelved from Idaho represent that Senator Shoup has announced himself as a candidate for re- election. This avowal is of importance be- cause of the fact that in the past eighteen months or two years the senator's attitude has been uncertain. He went so far in 1892 as to write a confidential letter to a friend announcing that he would not be in the race and this letter found its way into the public prints. Thereupon Congressman Sweet en- tered the field to succeed the senator, who appears to have left the race to him until Sweet falled to recelve the endorsement of the republican state convention. This failure was the which caused Shoup to reconsider his decision not to be a candidate, Shoup is a south Idaho man, while Sweet and the other candidates, Governor McConnell and W. B. Heyburn, are from the northern part of the state. These three are naturally hurt- ing one another's chances, but Shoup's friends think the opening for him is too good not to be taken advantage of. The legislature is largely republica didate for Re-elec- circumstance Candidates Secure w Kecount. BT. LOUIS, Dec. 1.—Attorneys represent- ing Dr. W. J. Waite, the defeated republi- can cfndidate for coroner, and Dr. C. At- Kkinson, who was declared elected to that offics, appeared before Judge Dillon and ob- tained an order directing Recorder of Votes Higgins to open the ballot boxes and rec-unt the votes. s——rrea— Took un Omaha Company's Money.

(Copyrighted 1804 Ly the Associated Press.) BERLIN, Dec. 1.—Since his return from visiting the south German states, Prince Hohenlohe has familiarized himself with the duties of his new office, and he has done this with such rapidity and entire absence of fuss and noise as to fully justity all the expectations built on him. One of his first duties was to listen to a number of reports made to him by the chiefs of the various departments, and he showed a surprising grasp of all questions of importance awaiting prompt solution, Thus far the most radical difference be- tween Prince Hohenlohe and Von Caprivi is that the former does not fight his battles nor declare his intentions In what is known as the “official press.”” Hohenlohe expects to see the anti-revolutionary —mea%ure adopted within a few weeks after the open- ing of the Reichstag, but it is extremely pos- sible the bill will be somewhat modified in committee. The leaders of the opposition, as well as the opposition papers, point out that in its present shape two of its paragraphs could easily be employed against them in- stead of against the destructionists. The war within the socialist camp con- tinues to claim the attention of all politi- cians. The apparent struggle for supremacy between Bebel and Volmar, with thelr re- spective followings, s going on with undl- minished fervor. The quarrel, it is said, will be submitted to the extraordinary meeting of the soclalists of the Reichstag on Tues- day. Apart from this big duel, there are other disputes, genuine and otherwise, in the socialist party, which would point to its impending disruption. In Brunswick, for example, which is one of the socialist strong- holds, the socialists are split into two fac- tlons. REMEMBERED THE WIDOWS. Emperor William has ordered that 150 marks be given as a Christmas present, out of his own private funds, to each of the sailors’ and firemen's widows whose hus- bards perished by the explosion of a steam pipe on board the German ironclad Branden- burg early in the year. The emperor has given Gatus Groth, the poet, who is a popular favorite with all low Germans, a large gold medal of art and science. On the return of the dowager Empress Frederick to this city the emperor and em- prees, accompanied by Prince Frederick Wil- liam, the heir-apparent, paid her a long visit at her palace on Unter den Linden. The dowager empress 1s showing her accustomed interest in the affairs of art and one of her first visits was to the studios of Ascau Let- teroth and Ismail Geautz, two of the leading painters in water colors. The agrarian socleties continued sending telegrams to the emperor during the past week expressing loyalty and asking for his sympathy and aid in their efforts to promote the interests of home husbandry. A dis- patch from the east Prussians the emperor replied to very kindly. An interesting fact may here be men- tioned. His majesty's racing stud at Graditz has been most successful this year. The horses trained won about $33,000 in stakes, the three owners coming in next to his majesty being Baron Munchausen, whose wife is an American lady, Herr von Lang- purchoft and Prince Fursterberg, their win- nings being about $40,000, $35,000 and $30,000 respectively. GIVING REGISTERS MUCH TROUBLE. The German newspapers are making merry over a curious result of the emperor's pro. duction of “Song to Aegier.” It is ap- parently causing the registrar of births a deal of embarrassment, as It transpires nearly every father desires to have his baby, If a boy, named Aegier. According to law, however, children cannot be registered by pagan names, and the officials are Inquir- ing whetber they are to make an exception in this case. The court chamberlain is now covsidering this momentous question. The fact that Princess Hohenlohe, wife of the chancellor, has gone to Paris for a time, has caused much comment here. A reaction against the unmeasured claims advanced for the curative effects of Prof. Behring's diphtheria serum is setting in rather seriously. The most significant ut- terance in this respect was made at a meet- ing on Wednesday last of the Berlin medi- cal soclety, when Dr. Hansemann, assistant in Prof. Virchow's pathological institute, a mouthpiece of Prof. Virchow himself, sharply criticized in detall Prof. Behring's serum therapeutics. He denied thé gerum immunizes human beings and declared no sufficient proof had been produced respecting its cura- tive properties. Furthermore, Dr. Hanse- mann claimed the effect of serum treatment in many cases was dangerous to health and even. to life. The statistics thus far obtain- able of the result of the serum treatment he pronounced to be unreliable and mislead- ing. The lecture was received with great applause from one part of the audience and with hisses from the other part. The exten- sions of the serum treatment to other citles at home and abroad have been reported to be going on steadily and the chemical works at Hoeshst, near Fraukfort, where the serum {3 manufactured, have been enlarged this week in order to meet the demands. Dr. G. F. H. Nuttal, & young American physiclan who s now assistant professor of the hygenic institute of Berlin, in view of the fact his share of the discovery of the serum treatment has not apparently been clearly understond, has made the following statement to the Assocluted press, He studied in 1887 and 1888 under Prof. Fluegge at Breslau and at GOltingen and while pur- suing experiments in the laboratories, he to demonstrate for the first time that blood possesses bacteriological properties. He pub- lished the results of those researches, among which was the fact the blood of an im- munized sheep destroyed mgte anthax bacilli than the blood of & monimmunized animal. He thus clearly shéwed the way which Behring and others suhSeguently took and, in point of fact, lald the foundation of the present blood serum trektment. Har- vard university awarded Nutthl and Boyles- ton the first prize for original research. BISMARCK'S HBEALTH BATISFACTORY. A dispatch from Varzin announces that Dr. | Schweininger leaves there today, the | condition o Prince Bismarck's is satisfactory. The enormous revival of the export busi- ness since October 15 has been remarked ut the United States consul general's office in this city. This revival has been especially remarkable in paper ware, buttons, goods and ready made clothing. Some branches of the export trade which have recently been dormant now show signs of | revival. Trichinae fs reported to have boen found at Cologne and Elberfeld in American pork, which was examined by German meat lll—l spectors there. ¥ All the trotting, elubs of Berlin have amal- gamated and arrangements are making for a large, finely equipped track in the west end of Berlin. A number of American trot- ting horses have been enteredl for the events which are to be decided next spring. An opposition was got mp privately by radjcal prohibitionists among the American colony here with the resultithac great num- bers of people stayed away from the Thanks- gliving celebration at the Kélserhof on Thurs- day last. The cause of thls opposition was the fact that wine was ngt tabooed at the banquet. Mrs. Mary B. Wfllard, a sister-in- law of Miss Frances Willard, was the lead- ing spirit of this movement. A fine quartet is being formed here under the direction of Prof. Otis Bols, leader and | organist for the services 'In the American | church, the members belng Mr. BE. Van Wyck, a pupil of Joachim; Mrs. Arnold, and Mrs. Griscom. According to an evening newspaper the speech which the emperor will deliver at the opening of the Reichstag on Wednesday next will point out the necessity of combatting all revolutionary agitation by stringent legisla- tion, ‘and expresses confiflence that the Reichstag will lend aid to the various gov- crnments in this conflict with the revolution- ary forces. It is said reference will be made to renewed efforts to place the finances of the empire upon a firmer basis. o 7 3 TROUBLES ARE DISARPEARING, or as health dress Noteworthy Spuech of the fidyernor General of India, . | CALCUTTA, Dec. 1.—A digpateh from La- hore says the governor geperal of India made an important speech there yesterday even- ing. After paying a tribute to the loyalty, de- votion and courage of the. Pynjabees serving in the army, Lord Elgin continued: *We have no ambition for conquest or for the extension of our boundarieg. ‘From a recent speech of Lord Rosebery I have learned that we haye reason to hope that the time is nppronq‘;( in which all risk of a clashing of nn.;f;. and British interests in Asia will be en I venture to say that more welcomeifews could not be conveyed to the lovers ot India. “We possess a great favattge in having a firm friend and ally fp the ameer, who has honorably recognized hig obligations under the treaty of 1893,.and ¥e trust all frontier troubles wili-§0on.be removed by the united efforts of the British and Afghan officers. “In rogard to Waezaristan, the government only desires the peace and security of the border, and I trust the war cloud will soon disperse. “We are sending commissions to tho ex- treme west and to the extreme east with the view to settle matters with Persia and France and removing any possible cause for quarrel. “The conventions recently concluded with China provide for the sgttlement of the Bur- mese frontier and the promation of trade by uniting the teleggaph systems of the two countries. The respect we have shown for their rights, even in unessential matters, has born fruit in the convention for the opening of trade with Thibet and the cordial entente with our gallant Nepaul allies. “The fact is this might well be termed an era of delimitation, as the whole world is settling disputed boundaries fixed from the Persian gulf to the Malay penipsula. It is a process which makes way for peace, and I hope you will join me in the earnest hope of its attainment. He exhorted the chiefs to recognize their responsibilities as rulers, and concluded: “Princes and chiefs: I am not here to call you to deeds of arms, but. I do invite you to a contest in which you have not to overcome a single rival, but to match yourselves against the whole world, You start with many ad- vantages; you have a country of marked fertility and an energetic and industrious population, personal prestige and peace abroad, and it you and your people will peace at home. Will you fail to respond to the summons? 1, at ’ast, haye done my duty as the representative of the queen-empress in placing before you as strongly as I can the obligation which lies on you, as her majesty's local subjects here in this portion of her empire, which she loves so well, to dare and achieve the same triumphs of peace that have elsewhere characterized and im- mortalized her glorious reign. Armenians Appeal to the Pope. ROME, Dec. 1.—The pope has received ur- gent appeals from Armenjans In severai places asking him to use his good offices in their behalf with the sultag. Appeals to the Vatican, in addition, have'been made from England under the belief that none of the powers are willing to agsume the responsi- bility of negotiating with the other powers for a joint intervention, gnd also in the belief that it Is impossible for’ tile pope to remain indifferent to the sufferings of the Armenian Christlans.

Ha ing watched the progress of events at St.| Petersburg from Berlin with uneasiness for | several days, he suddenly, without a word of | natice, appeared at his mother's residence, | Rumpehhe'm, to express his chagrin that | Queen Victoria's cabinet should be pursuing a policy calculated if not intended to isolate | Germany. Tho empercr was so agitated, so angry, that Empress Frederick, contrary to etiquette in such matters, promised to make representations direct to her royal mother re- | garding the emperor's protest. Sir Bdward | Malet, the British ambassador to Berlin, had only arrived in England two days before for | a prolonged stay, but the immediate result of | the dispatch sent by Empress Frederick to Queen Victoria was that he was ordered back | to Berlin, post haste, chargel with assurances to the German emperor that the British | policy aims at no continental alllances or in- terference with existing alliances, but merely at the preservation of peace and of the status quo. When Sir Edward arrived in Berlin he found the emperor indisposed, prostrated, ac- cording to diplomatic gossip, by one of those mental attacks which have supervened before on spells of intense excitement. Mal:t's mis- sion was explained to him by Chancellor Hohenlohe, and now it Is hoped that the| emperor .will take a calmer view of the| British policy. CLOUDS GATHER FOR ROSEBERY. The political situation in Great Britain is beginning to assume a serfous aspect, for the Rosebery government's defeat on the Forfar- shire election has produced a very unfavor- able impression. It is expected that this will be followed by another reverse in the division of Lincoln, which votes mext Friday, Now that the 'Rédmondites have definitely allied themselves with the unfonists, the working majority of the government is reduced to ten or twelve. The fact that in both Forfar and Brig the liberals are suffering, not for their policy, but because the unionists have strong local candidates as against carpat bag- gers on the Wberal side, docs not lessen the moral effect of such a reverse either in the country or In a division in the lobbies. If the liberals loge Lincoln, it is a question in the minds of Rosebery’s leading supporters whether, even if the government should be able to continue with an attenuated major- ity, it would be politic to do so. Providing the Redmondites attend Parliament regularly the government could not long escape defeat, | and the liberals think it would be the less of two evils to voluntarily dissolve. The ex- pectation in ministerial circles is that dis- solution cannot be deferred later than spring and may be looked for immediately after the opening of Parliament. A general election will be a leap in the dark, as the country has given no indication of a decided drift of feeling on any important political question. ALL HAPPY BUT HARCOURT. The cabinet is perfectly united, the only shadow of foundation for recent st.ries being that Sir Willlam Harcourt is sulking still He has refrained from making a single speech supporting Rosebery's anti-Lords pol- icy. The radicals who furnished Harcourt's support are disgusted by his action, which has only injured himself. Rosebery has been mixing in London so- clety during the past week. He is spoken of everywhere as being full of confidence and immensely elated over the progress of the Anglo-Russian understanding, to which he attaches far more Importance than dny do- mestlc question. But its advantages are too vague to prove of much elcetoral value. Your correspondent hears that a settlement has been arrived at between the relatives of the late duchess of Montrose and Mr. Mil- ner, her third husband. Her whole estate is valued at a little over $500,000, of which Mr. Milner accepts $300,000 in settlement of b claim of $25,000 a year. The duchess' rela- tives are well pleased over this compromise. MANCHESTER'S COSTLY CANAL. The Manchester ship canal, the greatest experiment in municipal enterprise ever at- tempted in England, is proving a di faflure. The total earnings In the eleven months amount to $420,000, being $85,000 less than the working expenses., The trade of the canal has steadily dwindled, and there is no prospect of an adequate return ever being obtained for the $70,000,000 spent. The faflure will involve widespread financial trouble, especially in Manchester, and an effort will be made to induce the state to take the canal over, but no government will dare incur such a responsibility. Cardinal Vaughan is involved in serfous dif- ficulties with his clergy over his policy at the recent school board election in London which resulted in the defeat of all the Cath- olic candidates, and the complete swamping of the Catholic vote. The cardinal requested Catholics to support the moderates, consist- ing exclusively of tories, against the pro- gressives, most of whom are liberals. The returns of the voting showed that although Catholics supported the moderates, the latter gave no vote to the Cathalies, The cardinal's action 1s now recognized as a gross error in tactics, and its failure has destroyed his prestige and the Influence among London Catholies.

PARIS, Dec. 1.—(Naw York World Cable— Special Telegram.)—The German cmpercr s Indignant over the reflections of the French press on German officers, especially military attaches, who have been accused of being alk sples, and he has ordered the ambassador, Count Munster, to call on the forelgn min- fster, Han taux, to remonstrate and explain that the honor of the German army Is in- volved, and that the emperor could not allow his officers to be called spies. Hanotaux re- gretted the conduct of the I'rench papers and explained that the liberty cf the press in France made the papers alone responsible. The government is powerless to interfere, Thus he srubbed Munster, who retired. Meantime the French press is undergoing critical times. Arrests follow each other in succession, The editor of Le Matin says he was call:d cn by Girard, who advised him to join in defending Portalis, and threatened evil effects if he refused. This was the pre- lude to an incident in the Chamber, where Milleraud stated Le Matin accepted bribes. Edwards, the editor, sent to Milleraud his seconds. Theso consulted with Milleraud's seconds, who drew up a letter stating that Milleraud was privileged in the Chamber and was not responsible to Edwards for his state- ments there, Therefore, no duel. This has produced great excitement here. Every believes fresh revelaticns are imminent. POLICE OFFICIALS LIKE NEW YORK'S. Trocard, who was arrested, was an organ- izer of a press syndicate for blackmalling gambling clubs. He was formerly prefect, & post similar to that of governor of a state. A subprefect is now accused by Rechefort of obtaining goods from trades pecple, not- ably bicycles, valuable bronzes, furniture, and paying with worthless checks and selling the goods. This case has been hushed up. ‘The action «f Leé Pine, police prefect of Parts, i aiding snd-abetting the blackmalling operations of the press, §s open to. grave s picio Some papers accuse him of black- mailing « wealthy merchant to the extent of $3,000. In fact, every one is throwing mud all arcund The revelations of the Toulouse election frauds prove that while living electors voted irregularly, the dead never abstained. These scandals are calculated to shake the cabinet more and more, hence it is interesting to note the formation of two political cliques that of the pure republicans under the lead- ership of Bourgeois-Lockroy and that of the friends of Gambetta, with Waldeck Rosseau at the head.

At the Versailles tribunal of divorce a pes titloner desired to be reconciled to his wife, He was suddenly confronted with her in court, and her vindictive locks made him de- spair, ) he stabbad himself before the judge. Mrs. Boyd, originally Miss Kernoghan, of an old New York family, who married a rich Englishman owning large estates in Wilt- shire, from whom she separated on account of his alleged eccentricities with Fanny Rcb- ert, now a widow of thre: months, will shortly marry Count d'Hauterive, a handsome soclety man. Her son inherits her Wiltshire estates. Boon, who runs a gymnasium in the Rue Colesee, celebrated as the scene of many, prize fights, was locked up last night for knocking down Vetu, proprietor of the Cos= mopolitan bar, in the Rue Scribe, and smash- ing a glass door. Vetu insulted Boon and called him offensive names. Boon lst his temper. He was let out today. The Russian public was delighted with the wreaths of bronze and silver sent from Parls as mementoes to the czar's funeral. They far exceeded in taste and beauty those of other ccuntries. The French commissioners were treated with exceptional distinction. The eme peror talked a long time with General Bols= deftre, and wept in speaking of his father. The new empress told the general that since her marriage to the czar she had espoused the national aspirations cf Russia, with which she would henceforth identify hereelf. This produced a profound impression here. Ad- miral Gervals was Introduced at the Cron= stadt naval college to his namesake, who is a cadet. ‘The_principal of the college sald the cadet should try to become an admiral and follow the great example of his namesake. Then there would be two Admirals Gervals, one fir Russia and the other for France, It is rumored here that Russia and Amers ica have made a_secret agreement relating to China and Japa Guatemala in w Turmoil. MANAGUA, Dec. 1.—All Zelaya's and Balaca’s efforts are to prescrve peace, but it is belleved this Is impossible. There are a number of small bands which the government insists upon calling bandits. It is believed this government is making too many con- cesslons to England, and the English parti- sans of Ortiz are most active in inciting the people, Troops have been and are now being sent the Nicaraguan-Honduras frontier, where a large number of deserters from both armies congregate and raid alternately on first one and then the other country, and the government of Honduras has been advised that it must take some steps to stop this. The government, in view of the threatening difticulties. Is promising many reforms, to Grows Belligerent. In view of the bellicose attitude assumed by the official and semi- officlal press of Costa Rica respecting the delimitation of the frontier between that country and Colombla, the press here reminds Costa Rica that while Costa Rica cannot place 16,000 soldiers in the fleld 1n the case of war, Colombia can easily mobilize an army of 100,000 men. It is belleved Costa Rica will draw in her horns and listen to reasom and not provoke a conflict with ®his country, .1 which s ready to make any peaceful, honors able settlement, b one
