Pelletan’s Utterances Disturb the Minister of Foreign Affairs. PARIS, Sept. 16.—The needlessly offen- sive allusions™ to Italy, Germany and planation otffered by Frenchmen is that Pelletan has forgotten that he is now a Minister and-that he has been speaking as a journalist. The Foreign Minister, Delcasse, is said to have been extremely vexed at Pelletan’s utterances at Ajaccio, which are calculated to irritate Italy at a moment when the French Government eign books and other articles it could not use. Trunks and boxes were broken open, but not any of the peison could he found. When the crowd had almost disappeared the chihfu arrived and had the bodies moved into their respective rooms. On the same street and a few doors away don Sprigg, Prime Minister of the colony, has announced before the House of As- sembly and in the Government gazettte the repeal of martial law and the proc- lamation of the peace preservation act, which enables the Government to control the possession, importation and registra- terstate Commerce Commission at Chi cago on January 25, 1902, in regard to the | consolidations and combinations of car- riers subject to an act to regulate com- merce, including the method of associa tion known as the community of interest plan, shall be considered as testimony in ing. _ Change of Time.

He drank heavily and the liquor giving out, he be- came despondent and told many persons that unless he could escape from his pur- suers he would kill himself.
