The French Cabinet Crisis.
IRAis.April 25. Itis feared that the
presect cabinet crisis may have seri
ous effects upon the political fabric for
u.;ems probable that a presidential
crisi- will ensue. In fact it has been ar
gued by some of the deputies that the
resignation of the Presidency by M.
,Laure a part of M. Rourgeois' plana.
Te two chambers would have to
meet as the national assembly to elect
a now president. M. Bourgeois be
liever that he could control the na
tional assembly as one body, though
as two chambers, the Senateis against
him. He would, it is said, endeavor
to secure amendments to the constitu
tion from the national assembly
which would put the cabinet beyond
fear of harm from the Seuate alone
and make it accountable to the depu
ties, after which M. Faure would be
re-elected president and M. liourgeios
reappointed premier, would ba secure
in hir lease of power.
j Ti.c Socialist group of the Republic-tn-purty
has issued a manifesto call
in? upon citizens and workmen to
utilize their rights of universal suf
frage in the coaiinj municipal elec
tions so as to establish the popular
power in the municipalities, and
spread the Socialist spirit in the may
oralties. This is preliminary to secur
ing the election of senators. By giving-
up ofiice, Mr. Rourgeois oes to
these electors with the plea that the
Senate opposed and overthrew his
cabinet because of its Socialistic ten
dencies, and he hopes thus to rally a
large Socialist vote in the municipal
elections.
President Faure conferred with MM.
L-rubet, Unison, Peytral, Poincare,
UoureoIs, Sarrien, Leroyer and Me
line to-uay. According to the Gaul-
Oi the new premier, whoever be may
le, "will appear in the chamber with
an absolution decree in his pocket.
The Gaulois says: As a result of the
experiment with a radical cabinet.
President Faure has resolved to take
a determined stand upon the constitu
tional ground and will pursue a line
of conduct in opposition to Socialist
rancor."
INDIAN BILL PASSED.
Senator
Vet UrnonnrM the
Lawless-
dfu in the Territory.
Washington, April 25 Lawless
conditions in the Indian Territory
were vehemently denounced in the
Senate yesterday during- the course of
the debate on the Indian bill. The
rticular provision under considera
tion was Mr. Piatt's amendment ex
tending the services of the Dawes
commission with a view to the making
of a roll of the Cherokee and kindred
nations. The commission is given di
rections toward terminating the tribal
relations of the Indians and dividing
their lands in severalty.
The debate was protracted. In the
course of it Mr. Vest, Democrat, of
Missouri, spoke of the conditions in
the Indian Territory as constituting a
national pest house and a nuisance, a
harbor of refuge for criminals, depre
ciating property in adjoining states
one-third.
".fter further debate, the presiding
',er ruled the entire amendment out
..he point of order made by Mr.
ilthall. Democrat, of Mississippi
' at it contemplated "general legisla-
)n."
Several minor amendments were
! ade to the bill, the most important
. einsr the insertion of the item of S!,-
GOO.iaXj for payment of the Cherokee
outlet fund, which had been struck
out by the committee. The Indian
appropriation bill as thus amended,
was then passed. The sundry civil
appropriation bill was then taken up
with the agreement that it should not
displace, except temporarily, the bond
resolution.
Messrs. Pettigrew, Teller and Cock
rell were named for conferrees on the
Indian bill.
"NO VENEZUELAN CRISIS.
Negotiations Between the Countries for
General Arbitration Procreiag.
Washington, April 25. The report
that the Venezuelan question had
again reached a critical stage owing to
- inaction amounting to terminating ne
gotiations, has developed two facts
" which are stated positively that the
United States government has not of
fered orsugggested a withdrawal of
the present Venezuelan commission
and that negotiations toward general
arbitration between the United States
and Great llritain are proceeding sat
isfactorily, although there has been
little progress as yet toward having
the Venezuela dispute included in the
general scope of the arbitration.
Tributes to Leon Say's Memory.
Pakis, April 2. The funeral of
- 'M. Leon Say, the distinguished polit
ical economist, took place yesterday
and was remarkable for its simplicity,
in accordance with the wishes of the
deceased. The ceremony, however,
was attended by most of the ministers,
many senators and deputies, a deputa
tion from the academy, deputations
.from a number of the leading societies,
of France and a number of well
known financiers, including Baron
AlphoDse de Rothschild.

CONFERENCE CLOSED.
International Arbitration Men Complete
Their Business.
Washington, April 25. The confer
ence for international arbitration,
which has been a very harmonious
one, closed last night with a mass
meeting in Allen's opera house, in the
course of which President Eliot, of
Harvard, severely arraigned the for
eign policy of President Cleveland
and his fellow townsman. Secretary
Olney. The personalities, which Pres
ident Eliot uttered in cool, measured
terms, were so pointed that they in
cited a decided sensation.
Some applause followed these re
marks, but there was great applause
when Bishop Keane, rector of the
Catholic University, who spoke next,
began; 'I am not here to blame the
President or Congress. 1 don't believe
it is our purpose or our right to blame
either of them. Hut we. as American
citizens, are free to say that it is a
pity that things are as they are, com
pelling the President and Congress to
talk of war with another civilized
nation."
The report of the committee on res
olutions and a general discussion
thereon wasthe business of the after
noon session. President Angel of the
University of Michigan presented the
report, which, after a lengthy pre
amble, resolves:
First That in the judgment of this
conference, religion, humanity and
justice, as well as the material inter
ests of civilized society, demand the
immediate establishment between the
United States and Great Britain of a
permanent system of arbitration.
Second That it is earnestly recom
mended to our government, so soon as
it is assured of a corresponding dis
position on the part of the. British
government, to negotiate a treaty pro
viding for the widest practicable
application of the method of arbitra
tion to international controversies.
A. P. A. FIGHT BLAND.
Ills Wife a Catholic, Which Prompts
the Opposition.
St. Louis, Mo., April 2 5. Every in
dication points to a bitter fight on
"Silver Dick" Bland in the event of an
effort being made in the Chicago con
vention to nominate him for the pres
idency of the United States. It has
leaked out that Mrs. Bland is a devout
member of the Catholic Church, and
has raised her children in that faith.
The opposition to the nomination of
the great 10 to 1 silver apostle will
come from the members of the A. P.
A. Bland is not a member of the
church, and is inclined to be liberal
in his views of religion. An author
itative announcement that the A. P.
A. would fight Bland's nomination
and election was given to a reporter
by Judge Stevens, State president of
the order for Missouri, and member of
the national executive board.
& & O. SHORTAGE.
Three and One-Half Million Dollars
Spent for Political Purposes.
New York, April 25. It is asserted
that the books of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railway show that $3,500,000 has
been taken from the treasury and
spent for political purposes. .It is
proposed to find out who got the
money. To do this it is stated that it
will be necessary to investigate the
matter of the construction of the Phil
adelphia division of the road, the cost
of which has never been made known
to the general stockholders, but which
has been variously estimated from
S12,uOO,000 to $-'0,000,000, and it is pre
dicted that when the report of the
manner in which the Baltimore and
Ohio obtained an entrance into Phil
adelphia is made known some very
prominent politicians of that city will
have reason to wish that those who
are now directing the affairs of the
Baltimore and Ohio had never reached
that position.
BOOTH-TUCKER SLUMMING
The Distinguished Salvationist Knocks
Out Two Bowery Tough
New York, April 25. Commander
Booth-Tucker of the Salvation army
went "slumming" on the East bide
with one companion Wednesday night.
Tney were partially disguised by
shabby apparel. Early yesterday
morning they entered a Bowery
"barracKs" where 3 00 hammocks were
swung in a comparatively small room,
engaged accommodations for the
night and were soon asleep.
The commander disturbed the other
inmates by his snoring and was
podded with a pin by one of them.
The distinguished Salvationist re
taliated with a blow and a fight fol
lowed in which two of the Boweryites
were knocked out. The commander's
prowess won the admiration of the
spectators and a general reconcilia
tion and handshaking concluded the
incident.
Bimetallic Conference.
Brussels, April 2 5. The advocates
of bimetallism cf various nations in
conference here have passed a resolu
tion favoring the discussion in the
French and German parliaments of
similar resolutions to those which
have been introduced in the Belgian
and English parliaments. The con
ference closed by adopting the pro
posal of M. Beernaert, the Belgian
Secretary of state, that the congress
should be declared permanent until
the question of bimetallism should be
solved.

Bllnister Willis Arrive.
Sax Francisco, April 25. Albert S.
W"illis. minister from this country to
the Hawaiian Islands, arrived from
Honolulu yesterday. He says that he
is in ill health and with his family
will go to his old home in Louisville
to spend his three months leave of
absence. He denies absolutely the
stories that he is persona non "grata
with the Hawaiian people or govern
ment. Mr. Willis declares that tie
has received nothing but kindness
from the Hawaiians, and declares
positively that he will return to his
post at Honolulu at the expiration of
his fnrlough.
QUAY'S A CANDIDATE.
FRIENDS WILL BOOST HIM FOR
PRESIDENT.
He is the Favorite Son of Pennsylvania
Republicans Denominated a Type of
American Cltlxen, Soldier and States
man International Bimetallism Fa
vored St. Louis Delegates.
Quay Is In the Field.
Habbisburo, Pa., April 24. Senator
Quay left for Washington at 9:40 this
morning, resisting the importunities
of his friends that he remain until
after the Republican State convention.
While he was here he was continually
besieged by visitors and it was neces
sary for him to hide himself in order
to obtain rest. His action in deciding
to succeed himself as state chairman
robbed to-day's convention of much of
its interest. It is generally believed,
however, that he will relinquish the
chairmanship after the national con
vention. There was nothing for Mr. Quay to
do, for the delegates held a caucus last
night and agreed upon the lists of
names as follows:
Delegates at large, Governor . Hast
ings, James Elverson, publisher of the
Philadelphia Inquirer; F. J. Torrence
of Pittsburg, James G. Beacom of
Greensburg, the Rev. Dr. T. L. Flood
of Meadville; Joseph Bosler of Mont
gomery county, William M. Griest of
Lancaster, F. H. Barker of Ebensburg.
All of the men slated for delegates
to the St. Louis convention are friend
ly to Senator Quay's Presidential as
pirations. The delegates were slow in gather
ing and it was not until 10:25 o'clock
that the representative of Mr. Quay
called the convention vo order. Two
conspicuous absentees were David
Martin and State Senator Charles A.
Porter of Philadelphia, who had been
prominent figures at Republican gath
erings for more than twenty years.
After permanent organization had
been perfected, the resolutions com
mittee reported the platform, which
opens as follows: "For fidelity to the
principles of Republicanism, Pennsyl
vania holds the first rank among all
the States. Year after 3-ear it has
returned great majorities for the can
didates of that party, with no selfish
demands for recognition of any of its
own citizens as a national candidate.
The time has come when the State
which has so long and faithfully led
the Republican column may justly and
properly submit its own preference
for the Republican nomination for the
presidency. In the presentation of
the Hon. Matthew btanley ljuay, the
Republicans not alone of Pennsylva
nia, but of the entire Union, will rec
ognize one of their foremost leaders,
wise in council and brilliant and able
in action, at once the type of the
American citizen, scholar, soldier and
statesman."
The resolutions declare for a pro
tective tariff and reciprocity, protec
tion for American shipping, praise the
financial legislation of the Republican
party and continue: "Faithful to its
record, believing that the people are
entitled to the use of the best money
and anxious to restore and preserve
the industrial and commercial pros
perity of the union, the Republican
party favors international bimetal
lism, and, until that can be established
by general agreement, demands the
maintenance of the existing gold
standard of value."
Liberal pensions are called for and
the present administration of the pen
sion bureau denounced. Restrictions
on immigration are demanded and
the state committee's reform bills in
dorsed. SECTARIAN SCHOOLS.
No Appropriations to Be Made After
July 1, 1808.
Washington-, April 24. The Senate
disposed of the sectarian school ques
tion by adopting a compromise framed
by Senator Cockrell of Missouri. The
Indian bill, as it came from the House,
provided that "no money herein ap
propriated shall be paid for education
in sectarian schools." This provision
is struck out by the Cockrell amend
ment as adopted and it is declared to
be the settled policy of the govern
ment to make no appropriations for
sectarian schools after July 1, 1S98,
thus giving two years for the abandon
ment of sectarian schools, instead of
an immediate abandonment. The
amendment was adopted by the de
cisive vote of 38 to 24. The Indian
bill was not completed when the Sen
ate adjourned.
The detailed vote is as follows:
Yeas Republicans: Carter, Chand
ler, Elkins. Hansbrough, Hawley, Mc
Millan, Mantle. Nelson, Pettigrew,
Sewall and Sherman 11. Democrats:

Cared for by Julia. Marlowe.
St. Louis, Mo., April 24. John
Brough, the shoemaker who claims
Actress Julia Marlove-Taber as his
daughter, is now in Cincinnati living
in comfort. During the last visit of
Julia Marlowe-Taber to St. Louis a
local paper published an account of
the career of the old man. At the
close of the week a well dressed man
appeared at his place and not long
afterward, it is said, bundles of cloth
ing, a new crutch and other articles
arrived for him. Soon afterwards he
said that he was going to his former
home in Cincinnati nnd left the city.
BELLIGERENT CONGRESSMEN.
Representatives Hall of Missouri and j
Money of Mississippi Have a Lively
JSncoonter.
Washington, April 24. Congress
man Money, Democrat, Senator-elect
from Mississippi, and Congressman
Hall, Democrat, of Missouri, had
a personal enconnter in the
room of the committee on na
val affairs to-day and Mr. Money
was hit in the face by Mr. Hall and
was then struck by an inkwell hurled
by the Missourian and badly cut on
the head. Mr. Hall was not touched.
Mr. Money and Mr. Hall are both
members of the naval committee, but
the committee was not in session at
the time.
Felix McCloskey, the messenger of
the committee, was standing at the
door, heard the two members talk
ing rather loudly and then heard Mr.
Hall say: "I'll allow no man to call
me a liar."
Then McCloskey saw the Missourian
reach over and plant his fist in Mr.
Money's face, staggering him and
raising a lump.
Mr. Hall is a man of large stature,
standing six feet two and weighing
250 pounds. Mr. Money is also tail,
but rather slender in build, and no
match for his opponent physically.
Before Mr. Money could recover
himself, Mr. Hall seized a large glass
ink well from the table and hurled it
at his opponent. The latter, already
dazed, could not dodge the missile,
and it struck him behind the ear, cut
ting an ugly gash, and he fell back
against the wall.
At this juncture McCloskey, who
had been making his way toward the
irate congressmen, crowded between
them and prevented further on
slaughts, but Mr. Hall was with dif
ficulty repressed from continuing the
assault.
Mr. Money stood against the wall,
faint from loss of blood, which was
streaming down his neck from the
wound in his head. He was hurriedly
taken to a committee room on the
floor below, while Mr. Hall walked
calmly along the corridor to the hall
of the House.
The blood from Mr. Money's wound
dropped on the marble floor as he was
half carried down the steps, and a
great crowd immediately congregated
and there was much excitement.
The details of the cause of the en
counter were hard to obtain. Mr.
Hall, when seen immediately after
the fight, said that he did not desire
to make a statement. "It was a per
sonal matter," said he, "and I do not
desire to say anything. I do not sup
pose Mr. Money, either, will dare to
make a statement. Mr. Wilson, a
member of the sub-committee, was
present."
From others who were in the room
it was learned that Hall and Money
were arguing earnestly on the naval
restoration bill, in which Hall is con
siderably interested, as to the proper
ranking in naval circles, and after
Hall had delivered himself of an
opinion he was heatedly replied to,
whereupon he said that many of those
who were opposed to the bill did not
believe in the views they advocated.
This angered Mr. Money, and taking
the remark as a personal insult he
called Mr. Hall a "d liar." Then
the fracas followed.
The occupants of the room, know
ing the shooting proclivities of the
MoDey family, expected to see him
draw a revolver, but he was probably
too much stunned by the blow to col
lect his senses before friends had him
in charge.
Further trouble between the two
men is expected, for the reputation of
the Money family is that no one of its
members ever allowed a blow or an
insult to go unresented.
A friend of Mr. Money who was in
the room said: "Mr. Money was look
ing over his mail when Hall entered
and began discussing a bill before the
committee relating to the rank of
naval engineers. Mr. Money took
part in the discussion, and though his
voice was pitched as it usually is in
controversial tone, he was in nowise
excited. Mr. Money made a state
ment that the surgeons were after
both rank and command. 'No,' he
added, smilingly, 'I take that back;
not command, but rank.' Any man
who says that,' said Mr. Hall, angrily,
'says what is not true. 'You are
a d liar,' retorted Mr. Money,
partly rising from his chair.
Mr. Money rose to his feet and Mr.
Hall grabbed an ink well and hurled
it at him. The blow behind the ear
staggered him. Mr. Money, though
staggered, also clutched an ink well
nd let it drive at Mr. Hall's head, but
the Missourian dodged and the missile
flew harmlessly by and struck the
wall opposite Had it struck Mr.
Hall I believe it would have brained
him. The two men then made for
each other. Both of them made mo
tions as if to draw their weapons. Mr.
Wilson of New York, a member of the
naval committee, who was present
with the messenger and clerk, then
rushed between the men and prevent
ed further trouble."
ADJOURNMENT IN MAY.
Republican Senators Anxioas to Get
Throngh With Work.
Washington, April 24. The Repub
lics Senators held a brief caucus to
day for an exchange of views on the
subject of final adjournment and or
der of business before adjournment.
Mr. Cbandler suggested that adjourn
ment ought to be possible by May 13,
and was supported in this opinion by
an almost unanimous vote of the
caucus.
Mr. Sherman was authorized, as
chairman of the caucus, to appoint a
steering committee of nine to take
charge of the details of the order of
business, in case it should be found
possible to consider other than the
appropriation bills.
FRENCH CABINET FALLS.
I The Premier Announces the Submission
of the Ministers to the Senate.
Paris April 2 The resignation oi
the Bourgeois ministry was announced
by the premier immediately upon the
reconvening of the chamber of depu
ties to-day. He read a statement con
testing the right of the senate to over-
j throw a ministry or to be the sole
j interpreter of the constitution, but he
added that, to -iew of the impossi
i bility of securing proper military re-
liefs for Madagascar, the cabinet was
compelled to resign.
HOT CAMPAIGN BEGUN
DEMOCRATIC SOUND MONEY
MEN ACTIVE.
Indiana, Ohio and Illinois Not Solid for
Silver Goodly Portion of the Dele
gates From Each State Believed to be
In Accord With the Administration
Some of the Missouri Delegates Ac
knowledged to be Against the Cleve
land Regime.
Sound Money Men Busy.
Washington, April 23. The Demo
cratic sound money bureau, recently
opened here, has received most en
couraging advices from Democratic
leaders of sound judgment, and,
basing their estimates on these re
ports, the managers of the bureau
claim that the sound money men will
have at least twenty delegates from
Ohio, twelve from Indiana and sixteen
from Illinois. Until now the sonnd
money men have in their estimates of
probable strength in the convention
conceded Illinois and Indiana entire
to the free silver side. One of the
most interesting bits of information
given out by the sound money men is
that four of the Missouri district dele
gates elected at Sedalia aie not of the
radical 16 to 1 order, but tre conserv
ative, and will be ready to meet the
sound money side in a compromise.
Senator Brice announced yesterday
that he proposed to go to the Chicago
convention to fight the free silver men
of Ohio.
While Senator Gorman still pro
poses to remain away from the con
vention, there is a very general belief
that ex-Secretary Whitney has, like
Senator Brice, been prevailed upon
to attend.
Not only is the administration
bringing into line the best and strong
est sound money Democrats, but
other plans are being laid. It now
appears that Secretary Carlisle's trip
to Chicago was not so much to deliver
a speech as it was to organize a cam
paign against the silver movement in
that State, which up to that time had
been moving forward without appar
ent let or hindrance. A committee of
100 Democrats has been formed, with
Mayor Hopkin3 of Chicago at its head,
and this committee i3 already actively
at work checking the silver forces.
Senator Lindsay's mission to Ken
tucky is also said to have no other ob
ject in view than an arrangement
with the Blackburn forces iu that
State whereby harmony is to be se
cured and Blackburn returned to the
Senate if the State Democratic con
vention will send anti-silver men to
the national convention.
TWO PENSION BILLS.
Which Cleveland Sat Down Upon With
Crushing Weight.
Washington, April 23. The Presi
dent to-day sent to the Senate vetoes
of two Senate pension bills. The first
was that of Charles E. Jones, a pho
tographer, which attracted considera
ble attention in the House. It is as
follows:
"To the Senate: I return herewith
without my approval Senate bill No.
219, entitled. An act to grant a pen
sion to Charles E. Jones. The bene
ficiary named in this bill was a pho
tographer who accompanied one of
the regiments of the union army dur
ing the war of the rebellion. . He was
injured, apparently not very seri
ously, while taking photographs and
where no battle was in. actual pro
gress. He was not enlisted and was
in no manner in the military service
of the United Sfates. Aside from the
question as to whether his present sad
condition is attributable to the injurj-
sustamedjit seems to me the extension
of pension relief to such cases would
open the door to legislation hard to
justify and impossible to refrain from
abuse. Grover Cleveland."
The other veto was in that of the
bill for a pension to Nancy G. Alla
bach, widow of Peter II. AHabacb,
who served in the Mexican war and
the war of the rebellion. The Presi
dent calls attention to the fact that
Allabach made no application for pen
sion on account of disabilities during
his life and continues: "It is not now
claimed that he was in the least dis
abled as an incident of his military
service, nor is it alleged that his
death, which occurred nearly twenty
nine years after his discharge from the
army, was in any degree related to
such service." He says the widow
was pensioned after her husband's
death as the widow of a Mexican
s Id er, and that her case falls under
the general act of 1890. "It is pro
posed, however," he continues, "by
the special act under consideration, to
give this widow a pension of 530 a
month, without the least suggestion
of the death or disability of her hus
band having been caused by his mili
tary service, and solely, so far as
discoverable, upon the ground that
she is poor and needs the money. Her
condition is precisely covered by ex
isting laws and, if a precedent is to be
established by the legislation pro
posed, I do not see how the same
relief as is contained in this bill can
be denied to the many thousands of
widows who are in a similar situation
and are not on the pension rolls under
general laws."
Bill to Tax Impure Beer.
Washington, April '21. Inline with
the recent legislation against adulter
ation of food and drinks. Congressman
Cooper of Wisconsin has introduced a
bill in the House which is of special
interest to the manufacturers and
consumers of beer. The House
committee on ways and means
will have charge of the bill. It is a
measure which provides for defining
beer as an article manufactured of
malt, hops and water solelj-, and addi
tional taxes are imposed on any article
sold as beer, in the composition of
which glucose, fusel oil or drugs ap
pear. Manufacturers of pure beer are
said to be in favor of the legislation,
believing it would' be beneficial to
trade in honest goods.
Dueling in Germany Mut Stop.
Berlin, April 2 3. The Reichstag

practice of dueling.
COBB UNSEATED.
Fifth Alabama DUtrlct to Be Repre
sented by a Populist.
Wahgtos, April 23. The House
yesterday unseated James E. Cobb,
Democrat, representing the Fifth Ala
bama district, and voted 121-45 to seat
Albert T. Goodwin, Populist, but the
point of no quorum being made, the
House adjourned with the final Tote
still pending.
Five Republicans voted with the
Democrats to recommit the case with
instructions to the committee to per
mit the contestant to offer testimony
in rebuttal. Mr. Cobb had 508 major
ity on the face of the returns, but the
majority found extensive frauds in
the three black counties of the dis
trict, which reduced Mr. Cobb's vote
and gave the contestant 2,300 major
ity. The minority claimed that no
opportunity was given to submit evi
dence in rebuttal, and that fraud was
presumed, not proven. Mr. Cobb had
been a member of the Fiftieth, iifty
first. Fifty-second and Fifty-third
Congresses. He was unseated bv the
Fifty-first House.
LEGAL CLAIMS ALLOWED.
