The chief credit for the evidence dis- covered leading to Dier's arrest belongs to Bertha Stedman, the young daughter of the overseer of the Shafter estate, who learned of a quarrel over money matters occurring between the prisoner and the missing man a-day before he disappeared. She also learned that Lor- raine was last seen on a lonely path leading from the store kept by Enos to the woodchoppers’ cabin. He was on his way home when la; en. Dier has failed to account for his whereabouts at this time. Late to-night Dier sent for Sheriff Taylor and while sticking to his story that he is innocent of any crime him- gelf endeavored to accuse John Enos by innuendo. He told the Sheriff that Inos appeared last Sunday with the key used by Lorraine and entered the latter's cabin. “How did Enos get this key if he knows nothing of Lorraine's where- abouts?’ queried Dier. Several years ago Enos and Frank Bernard, another woodchopper, were brought before the Grand Jury in connection with the dis- appearance of the cook, Johnson, but | nothing incriminating could be elicited. Lorraine’s knife, which was manu- factured out of a file with the an- nounced determination of killing a man known as “French Charley,” has been ar the cabin. Developments coming so fast that Sheriff Taylor set a man to watch the cabin with tructions to permit nothing to be touched.

Falleries, at the opening of the ses- sion, declared that in the presence of the scandals at Auteuil ‘on Sunday nothing can shake the confidence felt in the republic, and he assured Presi- dent Loubet that the warmest sym- pathy of the Senate would never fail him. A double round of applause fol- lowed these statements. Senator Guyot, in the name of the four Republican groups in the Senate, moved that “the Senate associates it- self in the remarks of President Faller- ies and stigmatizes as scandalous the acts of the enemies of the republic.” Senator Lecour de Grandmaison, Con- servative, spoke of the brutalities of the police, protested against the arrests and said the action of President Loubet was a fatal error. A tumult followed. The Senator refused to withdraw his words and left the tribune, whereupon the Senate paksed a vote of censure | upon him. After some eTemarks from Premier Dupuy similar to the statements he made in the Chamber of Deputies yes- terday Senator Guyot's motion was car- | ried by a vote of 258 to 20. The result of the vote was greeted with shouts of “Vive la republique!” LOUBET DEMANDED HERVE'S PUNISHMENT PARIS, June 6.—M. Clemenceau, in the Aurore, asserts that after the tes- timony of General Herve, in the prose- cution of M. Paul Deroulede before the Court of Assizes on the charge of in- citing the troops, M. Loubet summoned the Premier and said: “I expect to be defended. Punish Herve or make him apologize. Otherwise I will send a message to the Chamber of Deputies.” La Petite Republique gives details of the royalist plot of Sunday, and as- serts that the Duke of Orleans has been in Paris since Saturday. The says he is at the residence of Count de Harcourt, and only goes out at night disguised. It asks why the Govern- ment has not yet acted. D e o S ST S 2 S R S e paper | o BY W. E. WILLIAMSON.

The three Con- suls and Chief Justice Chambers will probably be recalled. The question of indemmity is being considered. It is estimated at $200,000. The kingship 1s still undecided.
