His | discovery was based upon this principle. thus: *1 will have a machine at each commer- cial or political center, and send out from each place under international agreement all political, financial or other news to be read at every other part of the world at the same moment.

The description of James Ross furnished to the banks from Canada does not at all tally with thatof the supposed swindler, The man arrested is only 22 years old, while the real Ross is of middie age. The police claim to have evidence which leads them to suspect that the rightful owner of the letter has been murdered and robved. The case is shrouded in mystery and is expected to develop into a sensa- tion. The prisoner refuses to talk.

Insulting Language Forces an Adjournment in Great Disorder. The Aftermath Wil Be a Duel Be- tween Richard and the Minister of Justice. PARIS, Fraxce, June 5.—In the Chaw- ber of Deputies to-day Turre!, Minister of Pablic Works. while answering an inter- pellation regarding the strike at Grande Combe, was frequently interrupted by Socialist Deputies, whereupon he told them their party never listened to any- thine said by Deputies outside their own group, and declared that their arguments always consisted of interruptions. This raised an uproar among the Social- ists and when the president demanded silence & member of the Right cried: “Itis from the extreme leit the uproar comes.” To this remark Gerault Richard replied in a loud tone: ““You are police spies.” The president demanded that Richard withdraw his insuliing remarks, which he not only refused to do, but repeated them. The president then suspended him, but he refused to retire despite the fact that force was used to compel him. The sitting had to be suspended. Sub: quently Richard, from the Chamber ~rr. rounded by a picket of friends, ¢: ad: | ““Vive la social revolution.” The Chamber reassembled after an in- terval of forty minutes. After the call to | order Jaures, a socialist leader, demanded the floor. President Brisson refused to permit him to speak upon the ground it was the in- tention of Jaures to criticize the action of the Chumber, whereupon another nproar ensued and the president postponed the discussion until Thursday. The Cham ber then adjourned amid protesting cries. In course of debate Darlen, Minister of Justice, called Richard a jailbird, The lat- ter subsequently challenged Darlan to right a duel. The challenge was accepted. The meeting will probably occur to- morrow. SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION. Terrific Explocion on a Big City Mud- <enw at ¢ hicano.

FRANCE IS SEEKING AN ALLIANCE. Designs to Secure Menelek's Co-operation to Outwit England. STRUGGLE FOR TERRITORY THAT MAY CAUSE WAR. Great Britaln, However, Is Busy In Trying to Conceal Scandals of the Transvaal Rald. [Copyrighted 1897 by the New York Sun.) LONDON, Exa., June 5.—The English newspapers have scarcely noticed the do- ings of the commission sent by the French Government to Abyssinis, but the Paris press is full of them. One thing certain is that remote Abyssinia has been the theater of rival intrigues which may have the result of menacing the peace of | Europe. It seems reasonably sure that Menelek will have to take sides one way or the otber, 1f he should take the French side trouble is assured witiin a year. A French expedition for nearly tno vears has been slow'y making its way from the Congo to t is now known the ex- pedition is under command of Captain March, an intrepid French officer. The strong, well-equipped commission to Abyssinia is designed to obtain Menelek’s co-operation with thie force and gener- Iy help France in establishing herself in the region where Engiand has declared that her protege, Ezypt, will not be al- lowed to set foot. A rumor is afloat that France is pre- pared to enter into an alliance with the fan- atical Dervishes, but as it is probable that the Mahdi’s successor would scorn to ac- cept an alliance with unbeiievers the rumor is absurd. But an alliance with the hali-civilized Abyssinians is on the cards, and, if accomplished, incalcuiab le consequences may follow. England, with her curious gift of mud- dling such things, may precipitate trouble by quarreling with Abyssinia. One of the ovjects of the British mission now retarn- ing to the coast 1s to induce Menelek to retire from certain territory which Eu. - land maintains belongs to Egypt. In the event of an Anglo-Egyptian war with Avbyssinia, France would support Mene- lek, and anything might happen there- after. Popular indignation and disgust over the Transvaal raid fizzle increases.
