STABLISHED JU OMAHA, WEDNESDA MORNING, ANUARY 1¢ 1895 Yy SINGLE COoPry 5 CE PRESIDENT PERIER RESIGNS Outcome of the Downfall of the Ministry in the Chamber Yesterday. SOUGHTEXEMPTION FROM PARTY ATTACKS Tired of Assaults Which His Position Gave Bim No Power to Resent—Unavall- & Pressaro to Induce Him to Reconsider, PARIS, Jan. 15.—It was announced this evening M. Casimir-Perier, president of the French republic, had resigned office. During the evening he conferred with the president of the senate and then summoned M. Guerin, minister of justice, M. Leyques, minister of public Instruction, M. Poincarre, minister of finance and the perfect of the Seine. M. Leyques had a long conversation with M Perier, the result of which is not known. A second official note was issued at 11 o'clock tonight announcing the resignation of the president and forecasting the ideas he intends to develop In his farewell address to the Chamber of Deputies, The note says that in the eyes of the president yesterday’s sitting of the chamber and the vote which overthrew the cabinet, were only sccondary incidents of the struggle which is proceeding against the parliamentary regime and public liber- M. Casimir-Perier had hoped the pre: nt of the republic, who is deprived of means of action, would have been exempted from party attacks and the especial con- fidence of the republicans would have a corded him power and authority. He had also hoped those who, despite himeelf, had placed him in a position where he was unable to defend himeelf, would have undertaken the defenso of the first magistrate. Continuing, the note says the president has requested the ministers o temporarily withdraw their res- ignations in order to facilitate the necessary changes. Printe Minister Dupuy imparted President Casimir-Perier's decigion to the presidents of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies, who “ will forthwith call urgency sittings of those bodies, The greatest perplexity reigns in all political circles. The long conference which M. Casimir- Perier had with M. Challemet-Lacour, p; ident of the sgnate, is now explained. He had already resolved to resign. M. Challe- met-Lacour employed his utmost eloquence in a valn endeavor to persuade the presideat to reconsider his declsion, and quitted the palace of the Blyssee under u sense of decp distress. All the members of the cabinet, from Prime Minister Dupuy down, followed Challemet-Lacour and exhausted every ar- gument to induce Casimir-Perier not to re- sign. After him came M. Spuller, whose eloquence, it will be remembered, overcame on a former cccasion M. Casimir-Perier's scruples to accepting the position of prime minister. All the president would concede to these appeals was to delay the publication of his Intentions until tonight. AGED MOTHER APPEALS TO HIM. As Dupuy and Spuller were leaving the palace together they met in the corridors the president’s mother, who fs 80 years of age. They begged her to entreat her son to remain in office and sho promised she would do her utmost. It is stated the inter- view between mother and son was very affect- ing, Nevertheless at 9 o'clock, Cassimir- Perler sent a short letter to Dupuy inform- ing him that his declsion was irrevocable and begging him to notify the presidents of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies and to announce the fact to the Journal Officiel. Dupuy accepted the task thus imposed upon him. He seemed to be completely over- whelmed with the sense of his responsibili- ties, but speedily recovered and with the energy, coolness and foresight that he dis- played on the occasion of the assassination of M. Carnot, proceeded to take ths measures which the occafon -demanded. NEWS AT WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, Jan, 15.—Diplomatic cir- cles here were astonished tonight by the news of tho resignation of President Casimir- Perier of France. So unexpected was the announcement, which was first conveyed to them through the Assoclated press, that many officlals were not inclined to believe it. “Nelther the secretary of state, the French ambassador nor any of the members of the foreign relations committees of the house and senate had any intimations of such a thing or any reason to expect it. Ambassador Paternotre said he had re- celved no news on the subject. *“The resig- nation must have been on nccount of th failure of the president to form a ministry,” he sald, “but it is entirely unprecedented that a ‘president should resign for such a FEARS FOR THE FRAM, Opinton 18 General t Sho Has Been Crushed In the Teo on the Kara Sea. LONDON, Jan. 15.—The Pall Mall Gazette says that the grave fears for the safety of the Nansen Arctic expedition are general among Arctle voyagers of Great Britain and Scandi- navia. Lieutentant Hovgaard of the Dimphna expedition, which was wrecked In the Kara sea, has expressed the opinion of the Danish Geographical society that there Is no question but the Fram has been crushed in the ice and that Dr. Nansen and his party are retreat- ing. The opinion I8 held by other travelers, the Pall Mall Gazette says, that Dr. Nansen, after a year's cruising around, is returning by the nearest route in expectation of meeting a re- lief expedition, He left Norway in the Fram in June, 1893, and on July 24 of the same year, a telegraph message from Berlavag, on the north coast of Norway, reported his pro- gram as follows: To the new Siberian islands and thence directly north until the Fram should be embedded In the ice and drift along With it, following the west coast of any land that might be met with porthward, On August 23, 1893, Dr, Nansen sent a dispateh from Vardo, which ke had written at Chara- bowa In the Yugorshl straits, the 2d of the same month, announcing that he was about to sail into the Kara sea, and that the Fram had behaved splendidly, o AULCUSED OF TREACHERY, A Correspondent Plotted Agaiast the Life of a Rival at Yort Arthur, VICTORIA, B.

South Dakota Offers a Large Reward tor the Absconding Treasurer, PIERRE, 8. D, Jan. 15.—(Special Tele- gram.)—There are no new developments in the Taylor case. A large number of tele- grams are daily received describing suspects but none of them have been shown to be the man. Today the governor issued the following proclamation: A reward of $20,000 will be paid for the ap- prehension and rendition to the authorities of South Dakota of W. W. Taylor, late de- faulting treasurer of this state.” He |3 about five feet six Inches in height, heavy set, welght from 19 to 200 pounds, stooping shoulders, wears a_light, short mustache, ruddy complexion, blue eves, rather large mouth, with hanging underlip, slightly baid, hair tinged with gray, walks with a sort of a waddling nit, CHARLES H, SHELDO! The senate has also passed and the house will_pass tomorrow a bill granting to the attorney general $10,000 to be used in em- ploying detectives for Taylor's apprehension and in prosecuting his bondsmen and recover- ing their property. Taylor's bondsmen have held a meeting in Chicago and it is expected that they will in a day or two make a proposition to settle with the state. Colonel Ruth, the commissioner of public lands, who s charged with divesting the funds of his department and with being in colluglon with Taylor, is expected to arrive here from Desmet in the morning. PROIIBITIONISTS WERE DEFEATED, First Round for Resubmission Easily Won In the South Unkotan House. PIERRE, 8. D., Jan, 15.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The fight for resubmission is over € far as the house is concerned. Until a few days ago both sides were qually confl- dent, but the prohibitionists at their meetlng last evening found that they had a two- thirds majcrity against them, and they prac- tically abandoned the fight in the house, To- day the temperance committee promptly re perted back the resubmission bill after only two hours' consideration, and the trial of strength came on the adcotion of the minority report, which was against it. This report was defeated by a vote of 49 to 31, three baing absent. The speaker voted against the bill, but it will certainly pass tomorrow. The bill will then go to the senate, and will be reported about Monday next. BUDD REMOVES GUNST, Moses Will Fight in the Courts Before He ives Up. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15.—Governor Budd received this afternoon an opinion from Attorney General Fitzgerald, stating that the governor had the power to remove from office any member of the board of San Francisco police commissioners. Thereupon he promptly removed Moses A. Gunst, appointed by ex- Governor Markham, two weeks ago, and replaced the abnoxious appointee by Stewart Menzia. The announcement created a sensa- tion, but the removal is commented upon favorably by a majority of the politiclans of both parties. Gunst will not relinquish his office without a stubborn fight, and is confi- dent that the courts will sustain him. Men- zia Is the leader of the non-partisan party, which has been working for municipal re- form for three years.

Robert Muir the chief promoter of the enterprise, Is tell- ing the Lincoln people that the alleged Traveling Men's Businees Block company would have been duly incorporated had the attorney of the “‘association” not forgotten to file the papers with the proper authori- ties. “I gave the articles of incorporation to_my attorney myself,” says Muir, He erts that L. C. Burr was given the arti- cles to file on last September 23, and that It they have not been filed ghe attorney has forgotten it. L. C. Burr says Mufr came to him in December and asked him to draw _up articles of incorporation. He aid s0. Mr. Burr makes the following state- ment: “I asked Mulr what inducement was held out to the purchaser of the tickets or certificates. He sald that the purchascrs would share in the rents und profits of the building, " If any other inducement was held out in the nature of a raflle or a lottery 1 was kept in ignorance of the fact. If this proves true L will at once withdraw from all connection with the company. Since the failure of the drawing to come off on January 1 the property has been placed in the hands of a trustee. Muir claims that the organizing stockholders con- sisted of himself as principal and Frank Parks as sccondary. — FAILED TO LOCKE HIM IN. Woman Makes an Unsuccessful Attempt to to Capture a I'urglar.

Baton is in the habit of looking through the house each night before retiring to see if everything is all right. Last night as she was making her ac- customed rounds she went to the pantry but she was unable to open the door. A burglar who had sccreted himself on the inside was holding the door, and as soon as Mrs, Baton realized the situation she ran to the dining room door and tempted to lock the burglar in the house.

LONDON, Jan. 15.—Throughout the night relays of men have worked desperately at the Diglake colliery, Audley, North Stafford- shire, where a large number of miners were entombed, about noon yesterday, by a sudden rush of waters from the old workings, already cabled to the Assoclated press. ByJ6 o'clock yesterday 150 men and boys employed in the mine had been rescued. Of those who remained below it was thought that twenty were in the lower workings when the mine was flooded and that they were drowned. From the time the disaster was slgnaled, the rescuers have been doing their utmost to save those who may remain alive and to recover the bodies of the drowned. The work of rescue, however, has not made much progress, and it is now believed there are still between ninety and 120 men and boys in the mine, and it seems increasingly doubt- ful whether any of them can be reached in time. The sorrow-stricken wives, daughters and other relatives of the imprisoned miners lave been gathered around the pithead ever siuce the news of the disaster reached them. There they have been patiently facing the bitterly cold wind since shortly after noon yesterday and many of them have been with- out food for twenty-four heurs.Al of them brought dry clothes for the men and they stand in groups hoping and praying for the safety of their loved ones, The water 5o constantly fluctuates that the rescuers are well nigh discouraged. They found the bottom of the shaft choked with piles of timbers swept there by the torrents of water. All of this timber must be re- moved before the entombed men can be reached. But the ceaseless pumping does not seem to materially affect the continuous flood of water., The greatest fear was expressed that the waters will so undermine the gal- leries that there will be a cave-in. The res- cuers work with difficulty, standing in four feet of water, and only fifteen yards progress was made during the night. Hundreds of miners have arrived at the Diglake @iliery from other collieries and they all volunteer to go down and assist in the work of rescue. Fresh gangs of men are thus supplied to go down every hour. as KAISER OPENS THE DIET, Talks of the Work He Wil Do for the Good of His People. BERLIN, Jan. 15.—The Prussian Diet was opened at noon today by Emperor William. His majesty read his speech from the throne. He began by saying that the Prussian budget showed a deficit which he hoped would dis- appear on the accomplishment of the pro- posed financlal reforms by the Reichstag. After announcing bills for the extension of state rallways and other domestic measures the emperor drew attention to the fact that the heavy gales and floods of the last few weeks had caused great devastation on the Prussian islands off the coast and in the North sea, adding that the necessary steps would be taken for the adoption of measures to_repair the damage. Regarding husbandry his majesty regretted that its condition continued to be unfavorable, saying: “To counteract this will be the ob- Ject of my unremitting paternal solicitude and the most pressing duty of my govern- ment."” In conclusion the emperor appealed to all patriotic men for concord and unanimous co- operation against the growing attacks upon the functions of the state. BOURGEOIS 1S THE MAN. Consensus of Opinion In Paris that He Must Succeed Dupuy s Premier. PARIS, Jan. 15.—The newspapers without exception are of the opinion that the solution of the ministerlal crisis will be a long and difficult matter. The radical and socialist organs, though jubilant at the fall of the cabinet, show anxlety in regard to the ap- polntment of thelr successors. The monarchist organs assert that the re- public is passing through a period of difficul- ties which may assume grave proportions and which may even involve the Blysee. The moderate republican press pays unani- mous tribute to the correctness and clear- ness of the attitude of ex-Premier Dupuy, who has fallen, it is @sserted, only because he was determined to safeguard constitu- tional principles. Many persons blame M. Barthou, the ex-minister of public works, for not having shown the same reserve as M. Dupuy, and they reproach M. Barthou with having caused the cabinet's downfall. The consensus of opinion is that the only possi- ble solution of the difficulty is a republican concentration under M. Bourgeols.

Thurston was clected United States senator by the two houses of the legislature sitting in their re- spective halls. Both houses were densely packed, but the senate was the scene of the greatest Interest for the reason that Mr. Thurston occupled a prominent seat with the Douglas county semators, Mr. Thurston was accompanied by Mrs. Thurston and his sister, Mrs. Angle F. Newman of Lincoln. Sugpended over the president's chair was a handsomely framed portrait of Mr. Thurst With the state flag of Nebraska and the na- tional colors on either eide, Promptly at 12 o'clock Lieutenant Governor Moore rapped for order in the state senate, the time having arrived for the first ballot for United States senator, The licutenant governor, on motion of Graham of Ga seconded by Pope of Saline, directed the secretary to call the roll. The senators reg- istered their preferences as follows: For John M. Thurston of Omaha, 25 votes; for William J. Bryan of Lincoln, 4 votes; for Willlam A. Jones of Hastings, 3 votes, Senator Gray was unable to reach the sen- ate on account of illness and consequently did not vote. SOMB SENATORIAL SENTIMENT. When the name of Senator Crane of Doug- las was called, he asked permission to ex- plain his vote. He said: “Mr. President At the November ballot boxes the people of Nebraska expressed their wish for a return of republicanism. In that campaign there were but two national issues discussed—re- publicanism and anti-republicantsm. The political complexion of this legislature clearly attests who were the victors. In that cam- palgn, from every stump in the state, was heard the volce of a man who, abler than them all, met and vanquished the ablest and most distinguished of the opponents of the republican party. The people of the state expect us here to elect that man to th United States senate, and it gives me great pleasure to cast my vote for Hon. John M. Thurston.” Senator Noyes also said: “‘Mr. President: I believe it “the duty of every senator to represent the wishes of the people, when made known at a general election. More than 3,000 years ago a nation desired a King. Its people cast lots and the choice fell© upon Saul, who stood head and shoulders in ' ability and attainments above all his fellows. But we find in reading that this same Saul had already been sclected and annointed king by a higher power than the people, who merely registered thein choice. I believe that I express the wish -of the people of Nebraska when I cast my vote for Hon. John M. Thurston, Senator Smith presented to cach republican senator a handsome white silk badge, em- bq%%ad with the American flag, and béaring ndant: portrait of John M. Thurston. APPLAUDED IN-THE HOUSE. Following the debate in committee af {he whole In the house on relief measures, the speaker annourced the special ‘order of busi- ness—a vote at 12 o'clock for United States senator. He remarked further that he hoped Howard of Sarpy would have his candidate present at the proceedings. Howard replicd that his candidate was now at the front in the hall of the national legislature, attendyig to the business of the country. The speaker expressed the opinion that he had but little to do. ‘ 3 The entrance of Hon. John M. Thurston into the house was received by prolonged and enthusiastic applause. During the vote he was visibly affected, and especially at the time of Dr. Rickett’s specch. The vote was immediately proceeded with, the result being as follows: Thurston, 72; W. A. Jones, 15; W. J. Bryan, 13. When the name of Ricketts of Douglas was called he arose and asked the indulgence of the house while he paid the tribute of a colored man to the intelligence and ability of the candidate from Douglas county. He sald that he was one of the purest types of Americanism. He was a man who had always been ready at all times to champion the colored man and to demand his rights through the medium of the force bill. Upon these lines he had never wavered, and it should not be forgotten that in the dark days of the civil war, when the north sought to strike.the shackles from the limbs of human chattels and set at liberty 4,000,000 human belngs, the colored man came to the front 200,000 strong, and when the union flag fell in the dust they raised it with brawny arm to the azure blue, It was the proudest mo- ment of his life when he now cast his vote for United States senator for John M, Thurs- ton.

Upon his graduation Ir. Thurston determined on the law as a ocation, Often compelled to give up stuy for bread, he made but little headway with law, cutting grain and following the plow being more profitable than waiting for ad mission to the ‘bar. After several vears' working 'round among the nelghboring farmers Mr. Thurston decided to try other flelds, and as Omaha was then a promise for u young attorney he cast his fortunes With the young town on the west bank of the Missouri, “with “less than $10 in his pocket, money which he had earned in his Wisconisin home working as u harvest hand in a wheat fleld. Ior the best part of a year M hurston slept_on his office floor, his bedding being a._bufalo and bed quilts which he had brought with him from Wisconsin, He was poor in those days, and on many occasions he wus compiiled to Keep body and soul together on crackers purchased by the box. AfLer o year or two of this hand-to-month Xistence ‘things began to brighten a bit, There was nothing remarkable in the first © he tried before a Nebraska judge ex- cept that he was unmercifully whipped by the opposing counsel, the jury giving verdict against Mr. Thurston's client wit out leaving the box. Littla by little his practice grew, and he became a councilman and subsequently for some years held position of city attorney for Omaha.

In 187 the great factional fight sprang up in republican party, he led the forces of his faction and was instrument nominating what was th o] Valentine for congre Nance for governor and the whole'stute ticket. Nearly every man nominated was under 33 years of age. In 1875 Mr. Thurston was ber of the Nebra leislature 1 held the position of chairman of the judiciary committee. In the national convention of 1881 he was selccted the Dlaine man- agers to take charge of the fight on the floor for the adjournment of the convention after the nominating speeches had bec completed and before a vote could be ta upon which combinations might be mac The fight for adjournment began relock ‘in the morning, the minority against the majo for Blaine was by no m the for first place duving the fir day vention in 1884, The parli m le was kipt up for five hour the s coverl h fisht for supr.

In this convention Mr. Thurston_al nded the nomination of General Logan for vice president, and was a recognized force on the floor. Tn 1888 he was temporary chairman of the convention that named “Benjamin Harrison for presidency. During the campaign that he canvessed northern states in pany with the v's leader: Probably no public man in i so rarely gifted in yoice It has a vibrant quality which, in ording. conversation, thrills the listener like the ounds madé by the telegraph wires on a winter's day, and when. pitched for carrying effect it is almost tepor in timbre, resonant and far reaching. In its rare quality it has often been compared“to the voice of Henry Clay, whose ability to make thou- ands hear’every word of his utterances is historical. In 1887 Mr. Thurston was a strong ca date for the United States senatorship fr Nebraska, but his “connection as gené solicitor of the Union Paciffe Railway co pany was a stimbling block in his pathy. In 1893 he recelved the republicay caucus nomination for that office, and ddfing the contest before the legislaiure received his entire party vote, lacking but five of an election. He was' fin; defeated through a_combination of populists and democrats, the present senior senatof from Nebraska, Willlam V. Allen, being elected. While he never' posed as a criminal law- , John M.

At the time he became general fcitor for the Unicn Pacific the firm of Thursion & Hall had the largest gene practice of any law firm in Nebraska, But Mr. Thurston does not owe ail his success to his own efforts by any means, but s never so happy as when reciting how much of sympathy, how much of encourage ment and how much of analytical criticism of his efforts he has recefved from his wife, Martha Poland Thurston.
