The French Cabinet Crisis,
Pr.Ais, April 25.—It is feared that the
present cabinet crisis may have seri
ous effects upon the political fabric for
it’Seems probable that a presidential
-crisis will ensue. In fact it has been ar
Sued by some of the deputies that the
resignation of the Presidency by M.
Faure is. a part of SL bourgeois’ plans.
The two chambers would have to
meet as the national assembly to elect
A new president. M. bourgeois be
lieves that he could control the na
tional assembly as one body, though
as two chambers, the Senate is against
him. Jle 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 Senate alone
and make it accountable to the depu
ties, after which M. Faure would be
re-eleeled president and M. bourgeios
reagftmipted premier, would be secure
in hislease of Power.

rections toward terminating the tribal
relations of the Indians and dividing

The debate was protracted. In the

CONFERENCE CLOSED.
International Arbitration Men Complete
Tbelr Uaslnnss.
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 opora house, in the
course of which President Eliot, oi
Harvard, severely arraigned the for
eign policy of President Cleveland
and his fellow townsman. Secretary
Olncy. 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 was the 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
Upited 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 ou 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.
81* Wife a Cttliullo, Which Prompts
the Opposition.
St. Louis, Mo., April 25.—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. ,
B. & O. SHORTAGE.
Three and One-Half Million Dollar*
Spent for Political Purposes.
New Yobk, April 25.— It is asserted
that the books of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railway show that 83,500,000 has
been taken from the treasury and
spent far 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 Iho Phil
adelphia division of the road, the cost
of which has never been made known
to the general stockholders, but which
lias been variously estimated from
Si i,000,000 to 520,000,000, 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

Ont Two Bowery Toughs.
New York, April 25.—Commander
Booth-Tueker of the Salvation army
went “slumming” on the East Side
with one companion Wednesday night.
They were partially disguised by
shabby apparel. Early yesterday
morning they entered a Bowery
“barracks” where 100 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
-plodded 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. _

Bkisski.s, April 36.—The advocates
of bimetallism of various nations in

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
Bbotild be declared permanent until
the question of bimetallism should be

Quay Is In ttie Field.
Harrisburg, Pa., April 24.—Senator
Quay left for Washington at 9:l0 this
morning, resisting the importunities
of his friends that he remain until
after tho Iiepublican State convention.
While ho was here ho 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-ilay’s convention of much of
its interest. It is generally believed,
however, that ho will relinquish the
chairmanship after tho 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 U. 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 to 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 year 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 ths
presidency. In the presentation of
the Hon. Matthew Stanley Quay, 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 typev of the
American citizen, scholar, soldier and
statesman.”
i ne resolutions declare lor a pro
tective tariff and reciprocity, protec
tion lor American shipping, praise the
financial legislation of tho Republican
party ana _ 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 unioD, 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 Bo Hade After
Mf 1, 18BS.
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, 1898,
thus giving two years for the abandon
ment of sectarian schools, instead of
an immediate abandonment. The
amendment was adoDted by the de
cisive vote of 38 to 24. Tho Indian
bill whs not completed w-lien the Sen
ate adjourned.
The detailed vote is as follows:

Fourteenth Kansas cavalry, who were

St. Louis, Mo., April 24.—John
Brough, the shoemaker who claims
Actress Julia Mario we-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

arrived for him. Soon afterwards he
6aid that he was going to his former
home in Cincinnati and left the city.
BELLIGERENT CONGRESSMEN.
Representatives Hall • t Missouri ant
Money of Mississippi Have a Uvelj
Encounter.
Washington, April 54. — Congress
man Money, Democrat, Senator-elect
from Mississippi, and Congressman
Hall, Doraoorat, of Missouri, had
a personal encounter la 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 natal 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 anil 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
/50 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 ho 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 hnrriedly
taken to a committee room on the
floor below, while Mr. Hail 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 wore bard to obtain. Mr.
Hall, when seen immediately after
the fight. Said that he did not desire
to makep 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
nailed Mr. Hall a “d-liar. ” Then
the fracas followed.
The occupants of the room, know
ing the shooting proclivities of the
Money family, expected to see him
draw a revolver, hut he was probably
too much stunned by the blow to col
lect his senses before friends had him
in eharge.
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
and 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.
Mall I believe it would have brained
him. The two men then made for
each other. Moth of them made mo
tions as if to draw their weapons. Mr.
Wiison of New York, a member of the
naval committee, who was present
with the messenger and clerk, then
rushed between the men and Drcvent
ed further trouble.”
ADJOURNMENT IN MAY.

Washington. April 2*. — The Repub

subject of 6ual adjournment and or

Mr. Chandler suggested that adjourn

Sound Money Men Busy.
Washington, April 23.—Tins Demo
cratic sound monjy bureau, recently
opened here, has received most en
couraging advices from Democratie
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 fromlndiuna and sixteen
from Illinois. Until now the sound,
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 oat by the sound money men is
that four of the Missouri district dele
gates elected at Sedalia ate not of the
radical 10 to 1 order, hut are conserv
ative, and will be ready to meet the
sound money side in a compromise.
Senator Brice announced yesterday
that ho 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 ouly Is the administration
bringing into line the best and strong
est sonnd money Democrats, but
other plans are being laid. It now
appears that Secretary Carlisle’s trip
to Chicago was not so mnch 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 Hopkins of Chicago at its head,
and .this committee is 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 Blaokburn' forces lu that
State whereby harmony is to be se
cured and Blackburn returned to the
Senate if the State Democratie con
vention will send anti-silver men to
the national convention. '
TWO PENSION BILLS. ;
Which Cleveland Bat Down Upon With
Crushing W«l|hb
Washington, April 85.—The Presi
dent to-day sent to the Senate vetoes
of two Senate pension bills. The first
was that of Charles R Jones, a pho
tographer, which attracted considera
ble attention in the Housei • Qt is as
follows:
“To the Senate: I return' herewith
without my approval Senate- bill No.
840, entitled, An act to-grant a pen
sion to Charles & 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 injury
sustuined.it seems to me the extension
of pension relief to such cases would
open the door to legislation bard 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 H. AUabach,
who served in the Mexican war and
the war of the rebellion. The Presi
dent calls attention to the fact that
AUabach 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
dentil as the widow of a Mexican
si Id er, and that her case falls under
tl.e general act of 1690. “It is pro
posed. however,” he continues, “by
the special act under consideration, to
give this widow a pension of $o0 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 saene
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 23.— Inline with
the recent legislation against adulter
ation of food and drinks. Congressman
Cooper of Wisconsin has introduced a
1 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 solely, and addi

said to be in favor of the legislation,
believing it would be beneficial to
