July 9. | Now i'ork Herald Cable Special to the Br.E.J The 1'ranzinl trial opened to-day with tremendous deus eclat at the court of Assizes. All Paris , and especially charmlnz bevies of morbid deml-mondalncs had gathered together to see Pranztnl. the alleged triple murderer of the rue Montaicue , brought to bay. For weeks and weeks the papers have been full of It. For weeks the president hns been beset by applications for scats no matter what scats , let us see Pranzinl , and see Pranzinl we must at any cost , and wo have seen him. The curtain rose on the play this morn I ne. The scene , the court of assizes ; title , the triple murderer In rue Montaigne. No matter ho > v early you had come , no matter oven if you had slept on the Btcps of the palace , n hundred privileged people had been let In hetoro you , and when the doors were at last thrown open the hall was full ot strong barriers , jealously guarded , .which blocked the approaches to . "Von can't this sir " the court. pass way , , and "You can't pass that way" at every turn you were met with the monotonous "non possumus , " Nothing like It has been scon at Paris since Mme. Cloves llugrccs' trial. 'How did I get In ? Heaven knows. At 11 , just betoro the prisoner entered the dock , 1 found myself In the court , better late than never. Uohlnd mo was Jules Clarctio , di rector of the Francals , chatting with Henri Bauer , the critic , and several other literary celebrities. In a distant corner 1 saw Gaston lierardl , of the Independence Delge. Here find there I noticed thn familiar face of a Dalntcr , of a dramatist They were the exceptions , however. Nearly the whole of the court was packed with ladles of society. most nearly all distinctly ladles not In society. The fair , frail sisterhood had mustered thick , row upon row of them , In war paint and feathers. No wonder the trial Interested them all , many , 1 dare say , thinking they might have had the fate of Alice Kegnaul. Tneylilled the auditorium proper with their fans and frivolity. The front of the hall was reserved for barristers. To the right and left of them were journalists and the jury. On a table a few feet from the empty seats which were to bo occupied by the judges lay the pieces for a conviction a shabby brown overcoat , n shabby pair of black trow- scrs , a hamper and a small grey valise. The heat In the long blue trial chamber ovou at that hour was stilling. Hardly a window was open. This stuffy , slickly odor of hu manity assailed the nostrils , and wo had inven hours of It before us. Enter Pranzinl. At a quarter to 11 there was a hum of excitement in the hall. A side door opened behind the press benches. The next minute tlio prisoner was ushered Into the room by four municipal guards , and a voice rang out "No opera classes allowed. " What is he like' . ' Well , like a hundred thousand men you may meet. Good looking ! Yes , In a way. About thirty , short , neither very dark nor very fair , joh garcou the French would say ; short , curly hair , very thin at the top , brushed smoothly over the forehead , which Is square but magnlUcont ; curly beard and whiskers , neatly trimmed like his mustache ; small observant eyes and tvondcrfully mobile eyebrows ; no particular ibaracter In his nose or mouth ; neck lhapely , What did lie wear ? Ho was dressed With carefully1 studied carelessness , and It lulled him ,10936,1 blacl ( jacket and a white waist coit , a'nd , w'rn .vlo.vrn collar and d light cravat. In his hand ho'earrlbd ' n high hat , neatly brushed. In the b'reAst pocKct-ol.lils teat you see the end of a clean white hand' kerchof , and his manner was worth remem bering. Cool Is not the word for It. Ik teemed liupcrtubed as ho entered. UK looked pale , just palo enough to bo interest' Ing , otherwise no trace of emotion whatever. A nickeling imllo played over his lips , but II tvas a well-bred smile. It scorns to express Infinite care and a touch of pity , as whc thould say , "I am willing to humor von , good people , but ll'n tedious , tedious for an Eng lishman like me , who believes In fair ulti } for a prisoner till ho Is shown to be guilty. ' At twenty minutes past 3 the court enters tors four judges robed in red and black President Onfroy do nrevillo takes his seal In the center under Honnat's solemn plctun of the crucifixion a pale , Intelligent gentle man ot forty-live , mobile eyebrows , as mobile as Pranzlnl's , black hair and whiskers , am an eyeglass. The Indictment Is read. No body listened to It , not oven Pranzlul. Tht witnesses' names are called , sixty-three It all. At live minutes past 13 the Intorrogatini begins , the president sternly eyeing Prazlnl "On Sunday , March 20. In thi evenlnc you were seated in at orchestra stall of the Marseille theater. Yoi listened to "The Uaibcr of Savlllo. " Yoi were sent for. You mustered npjoureour ago. You followed the employe of tin theater to the commissary of police , win showed Jewelry that you had given to ttllo of the rue Yeutcmacuc. What have you ti say ? " To this Pranzinl sa'.d ' ; "I nerer gavi away these jewels. " O The president "This Is an InsufRclen answer , not only to a magistrate bu to any Intelligent jwrson. All the accusation against you have been collected together The people are convinced of your gill Morovcr , wo are now going to make a stud ; ofyourpwt life. This will be lone , bu necessary. We thai ! always see > ou show Ing the came qualities. You are a lovrr o gambling , and above all a lover of women not however , as tba moralist said , ot wuuiei that cost money , but ot women that keji you In funds. " The president , then , In an academic an rather tedious discourse , narrated Pranzinl tntlre existence. He read a letter from I peLaborde , that gave Information to th judgr d'lnslnicllon to the cffoct that ho bad known htm formerly as a swindler and a coward. Tlm president What have you to say to that letter ? Pranzinl Nothing at all. Twelve years ago ho .showed mo a certain amount of friend ship. 1 am astonished at what he says In his letter. The President You made a great deal of money during your travels In Uelochtstan and Afghanistan. ? Pranzinl About 80,000 francs. Prcsldent-What did you do with U ? Pranzinl I lost a great deal of It at cards. Prcslsont You were employed In the Com- pagnlo des Wagons Ills when you earned 2fiO francs n month ? Pranzinl Ah , more than a 100 francs for n train. President Why did you leave the wagons Its ? Pranzinl Because they wanted to send me far away. 1 wanted to bo able to sec my mother at Boulogne. President You left because you were caught robbing a traveler. Pranzinl That is absurd. The heat grows more stilling and nil the fans are going now. Then follows a char acteristic incident showing the prisoner's calmness. "Let us set up the scene at the directors , " says the president. "Among other Informa tion communicated by the Boulogne police we are told of an old woman , known as the 'lady of the jewels , ' of whom YOU were a lover. " Pranzinl Oh , yes ; Madame The President Oh. you don't name her. Pranzinl No , I simply say , madaino. I know what I'm about , ehl They say that she's forty-live or forty-eight years old , do they ? Her photograph Is among the pieces. Show It to the jurymen , M. President , and they can decide as to her age. President It's under seal and cannot bo shown. You admit that she's young and that you loved her ? Pranzinl Yes , certainly. ( Laughter. ] But I Insist that the jury should see her photo graph. It Is only to show how credible the Bouloguo police are. A duel to death. M. Brevcllo Is gradually getting his hand. Now he has taken the measure of his adversary , so has Pranzlni It's disdain 1'or disdain , sarcasm for sarcasm. Prauzlnl rants. He is met at every turn by raillery. The duel Is Brewing Interesting. If a life were not at stake how enjoyable it would bo. The wonderful adventures the jell garcon has had In his career- one day with General Skoheloff , the next In Egypt , the next organizing caravans in Asia or gambling at the roulette tables at Monte Carlo. His two passions are his bana pley and women , but chiefly play. The efforts of the Interrogator are directed to showing that to satisfy the ilrst ho was always ready to satisfy the second. From the old lady ot Bologna wo come to the old lady of Paris , MIlo. Sablerre , whom the president persistently refers to as ' 'Cotto Pavoro fille , " and yet ho has seen the lady. Grey do Maupassant would find a subject for a novel iu the Labatlcr passage with the accused. Says the president : "Where did you Ilrst meet Mary Sebatler ? Pranzinl I don't remember. At a ball , I think. President She was more of a mother to you than n mistress , and you allowed her to support you. At the tlmo ho met Mllo.Sebatler , Pranzinl seems to have been abjectly poor. The evi dence shows ho had hardly any linen to wcarovon , and that but for his bonne's for- uncs ho would have had a good chance of starving. Pranzinl denies It , for lie sees the inference that may bo drawn from it. Pranzinl admits ho got a big knife Just before the murder , but main tains It was given him by a cutler In ex change for a pocket knife which nee-Jed ro- pairing. AH to his flight from Purls after the crime , ho was panic strnck at the Idea of having left two visiting cards at Marie Iteg- nault's. Step by stop his defences are beaten down. Ills explanations have ceased to bo creditable. His denial and explanations are childish. Still hesmlles. Pranzlni grows melo- diaumtlc , talks ot his conscience , an.d solemnly calls upon God to witness that ho Is honest. "Yes , God himself , " ho says , pointing to the dead Christ on the wall. Still worse does It get for him when ho en deavors to explain away the telegram which ho sent to a young American lady , Miss N , whom ho had seduced. The tolocrara was signed Henry Forster , Grand hotel , and oddly enough a packet containing the jewels of the dead Marie Kegnault were addressed to Dr. Forster at Marsellls , where Pranzinl stopped after the murders , it Is supposed , by Pranzinl himself. At 4 court adjourned. Again the heat Is suffocating and the la dles collapsing. The curtain rises on the last part ot to-day's drama , Pranzln ! , palo but smiling. The questions now turn on Marie Uegnault's jewels. Did Pranzinl really give them or not ? Did ho really elvo any ot them to loose women of Marseilles ? Pranziul denies everything , but falls to con vince the court Then the president returns to the alibi in Tueston and says : "Lot us hope your delicacy will let you reveal the name of that person with whom you say you spent the Ilrst part ot the nlcht of the crime. Ho dismissed the case for the day with the solemn words , "ReflechUsez Pran zinl eta luudl. " _ QUUEIj EVICTIONS. Outrageous Actions of Umcrgcncy Atcii In Ireland.

They have been confined to one small dls trlct , where the people are vorjr poor and the land unprofitable. . The means of resistance nro small. The attitude of the people In the face of the exterminating war opened up on them , Is one of determination and courage which nothing appears to check Krcry day since the evictions started the people of Wlckloo and Wexford have In largo numbers assembled to witness the pro ceedings and swells the chorus of condemna tlon ot the doings ot the landlord's represon tatlves. To-day there was no falling off , bn if anything more , and they were encouragei by their respected pastors , Father Dunphy Father O'Neill , Father O'Connell and Father Kyau , of Itathdrura.

A'eio York AtaocMcd Press. \ Biuti.iN , July 'J. If the temper of the Ger man press were a faithful reflection of the disposition of the government , war with Franco would be a question of a few days. The revelations at the Klein trial , of tin French tax on foreigners , which Is openlv dcslcned to atfcct Germans , prohibitive Im post on German spirits have combined to in censing these people to the utmost. The latter measures by themselves would have bceu held of less account , but associated with tlio spy trials they have heightened the general sense that the French enmity U Implacable , and that it seeks to wound Ger mans whete it can , waiting for a chance tr inlllct the deadliest injury. The trial ol Klein Is the tilth treason trial in which cleai proof was afforded that the French war min istry has organized a system of espionage. A worse case than any yet revealed Is undci inquiry. An employe of the central admin Istratlon at Strasburg Is about to be tiled al Lelpslc. He Is charged with selling to the French war oflico all of the olllclal report ! sent to the chief administrator of Alsace bj his various subordinates. The complete-lies ; of this system of espionage suggests thai treason is still at work.nnd that any moment may bring further revelations. The ofllcial irritation equals that of the public , and both the onlclals and the general public would approve the strongcsl dlsolomatlc remonstrance being made to the frcnch government As to the dangers of the situation as re fleeted by the press , the Krouso Xeltnng ox pleclclty declares that any further show ol consldcrateness toward Franco Is Imposslhh that a country whoso whole pol Icy toward Its neighbors fron feelings of wrongness and hatred has m right to expect further toleration.

TUK OIjADsfoNK TESTIMONIAL , It la Accepted With Warm Wordi For America. LONDON , Jul > 9. This afternoon at Dolli lllll , in the presence ot a large number o guests Invited by Mrs. Gladstone to a gardei party , the American testimonial to Glad ctouo was formally presented to the ex premier and afterward exhibited to him b ; the guests. The presentation speech wa made by Hod. Joseph Pulitzer , ot the Ne\ York World. Gladstone' received the part at 4 o'clock , and after shaking hands ante to Mrs. Gladstone , all pi ceded to the lawn , where the testimonial vas taken out and stood upon a box. The nssslve piece of silver * 6rk was most carc- ully examined aud admlfcd by Mr. and Mrs , Gladstone. It was the first time that either of them had scon It. Gladstone then faced 'ulltzer , aud the two gentlemen formally lowed. Mr. Gladstone atter praising the beauty of ho gift said lie did not think so much of vhat he deserved or mieht fairly claim as of ho profound and Irrepressible Interest of Vmcrtca in the great Irish cause. From Americans ho personally never had anything but the most generous trent- uent. Ho would not dwell upon personal matters which were of minor im- lortanco , but he had hardly a greater conso- atlon than the unanimous support ho re ceived In America in the present struggle. Referring to certain expressed jealousy of American interference In English affairs , ho said It was much too late , under the circum stances to object to the conduct of Americans when they ventured to advise on Irish questions. It would be monstrous and unnatural If Americans did not do It , for the feelings ot humanity re quired it at their hands. Wo receive Ameri can alms to lighten famine In Ireland , It Is our business. If possible , to prevent , or If It arises to bear the cost thereof. We have re ceived American almi not for that alone but for the removal from Ireland to a hannlcr land of n largo portion of her population , which Loid Salisbury recently designated as n burdensome engagement upon the soil. Mr. Gladstone contended that the wholn civi lized world and Its literature favored the cause ot Ireland , and h < ! had challenged men who knew more than himself to produce any author who did not severely and unmltlRat- edly condemn England , and the challenge was unanswered. Criticising Coercion bill Gladstone said * * was passed by men , the majority of whom , when elected opposed Coercion. He con demned the permanent feature of the act and the oppression of societies in Ireland. Ho reeretted that the American deputation had i-omo at a time of retraction and retro gression. There was one-consolation , it was impossible that the IOTO of liberty should recede from the people , lie believed the people as represented by the present garlla- inent , were a doconded , deluded people. But recent elections' showed they were awakening cheers. The cause of llbertj wtuld triumph eventually. The Pope's Irlfh Messenger.

The steamship Mai Iposa , which arrived from Australia this morning , having touched at tlio Hawaiian Islands , brings the Important Information : hat the expected revolution In the Hawaiian kingdom has actually occurred. The popu- ace organized and demanded the downfall of the ministry and the abdication of the king , The residents of Honolulu and the surrounding country have assumed the pow ers of government. The volunteer military 'orces of the kingdom are with them. As a result the Gibson ministry has fallen and a cabinet named by the people headed by Will- lam M. Green has been appointed. King Kalaknita Is permitted to retain the throne al- lioiigh divested of all present power , having acceded to the demand for n new constitu tion and agreed to nbldo by the will of the people. The king was thoroughly alarmed and on July 1 called n mooting of the Ameri can minister , the British commissioner , the French commissioner and the Portuguese commissioner , to whom ho offered to transfer pro tern the powers vested In him as king. These oHlclals refused to accent the trust , but advised the king to lose no tlmo In tonnlnir a now constitution , which he followed. Walter M. Gibson and his son-in-law , F. U. Ilaysoldcn. are under arrest , having been seized by the civic troops when attempting to escape. The populace assumed control of affairs In the kingdom on June 25. and were joined by hastily organized military com panies. On the afternoon of Juno 30 at a large meeting , resolutions wore adopted de claring that the administration of the gov ernment had ceased through corruption and incompqtency to adequately perform Its functions and afford protection to the per sonal and property rights for which all gov ernments exist. Demands on the king were formulated to the effect that he must uncon ditionally dismiss his cabinet and call on either William L. Green , Henry Waterhouse , Godfrey Brown or Mark 1 * . Koblnson to se lect a new one , and that Walter Gibson bo dismissed from cachland every oflico held by him. The third and fourth demands were that the king should make restitution fur $71,000 opium bribe money and dismiss Junlus Kaal , register of conveyances , who was Implicated in the bribery. They nlso asked a specific plcdeo from the klnir that be would not In future interfere with or at tempt tountiuly Inlluencc legislation. When the committee reached the palace , they found the news had preceded them , and the Gibson ministry handed In their resignations atter conferring with the representatives of foreign governments. On July 1 Kalakaua formally appointed William L. Green prime minister and minister of foreign affairs. Green then completed the cabinet The surrender of King Kalakaua to tlio demands of the populace - lace were was as complete and ns Ignomin ious as that endured by his late ministry. In rcsponsp to the demands made upon him , he replied in detail signify In i : his acquiescence. What course the revolution will now take Is not known. When tlio Mnranosa sailed the opinion prevailed that KiUakaua should bo allowed to continue on the throne , thoueh fears were expressed that Gibson and other members of the ex-ministry might lose their lives. There had , however , been no blood shed up to that time. M'OfrYXX EXOOMMUaIOA.TED. The Uolt Falls at Imst An Unfrocked Priest.

A reporter loarued positively to-day at Archbishop Cornwall's residence that a papal brief ordering his formal excommunication - communication had been received , and that , accompanied by a letter from Archbishop Corrlgan , It would be read in all tlio Catholic churches ot this dloceso to-morrow. The papal brief sets forth tlio contumacy of the priest , and refers with sorrow to his persist ency in detylng the church which had been so anxious to see him repent and do pcnanco for ttio scandal he lias provoked. It goes on at some length to explain the necessity of the present act , compliments Archbishop Corrlcan on his nrmiu'ss and discretion and ends by Instructing him to publish the decree of excommunication In his church diocese at once. The letter from the ntcliblshop will recite anew the anxious efforts of tlio local church and the authorities to bring Dr. Mc Glynn to a proper sense of his duties as n priest , and concludes by exerting the faithful to obey Implicitly the mandate Irom homo with reference to the unfrocked priest. This Is the last act In the strange drama so far as the church Itself Is concerned. Dr. McGlynn is entirely cut elf from It , and Catholics aru not supposed to associate with him.

Ho Tells of Various Attempts to Take hln Iilff. lArTiMoin ! : , July P. The mornlnz Herald vlll publish to-murrovv a0 column contrl- mtlon giving an account of recent Important ntcrvlows with Jefferson DavK In those In- ervlows Davis among other things charges hat the federal government conspired during ho war to have him assasclnatcd. On this subject Davis says ; "While the Confederate Government was at Montgomery , Ala. , In bOl , 1 rccelvod an annoymous letter from 'hll.idclphla the substance of which was hat the Governor of Pennsylvania had re- eased a noted desperado from the icnltentlary upon condition that ho go to Montgomery and nssassluata me , with the iromlso of a reward of 8100,000 If ho suc- : ecdcd. After his release the man stated bathe probably could not succeed alone and ga\o the name of another convict who was released with him. " Davis then gave , with iiiieli circumstantiality , detail of various at- omuts upon his lite. On one occasion when viewing tlm defensive works at Ulrhmond ogethcr with Colonel William Preston John- sou , a pistol ball passed by them. Search revealed a man in a vacant house. Davis sent him to General Leo with this note : 'Hope that he will bo put to the trout line to stopu ball Intended fora better man. " At Montgomery all his efforts were directed to ward securing for seceedlng states a peace ful separation , though he never thought of : olng back into the union to escape the ast resort to arbitrament of arms. Davis discusses his experience as secretary of war In Tierce's cabinet as .senti er , etc. He pays a high tribute to Jackson , I.re , Albert Sidney Johnston and A. P. Hill. Speaking of the seven day's ] battle around lilclimond , Dawes savs General Leo conceived and executed a desperate plan to turn the think and rear of McClelland's army , and adds that the failure to annihilate lie iedcral army was duo chiefly to the fact hat Lee moved In icnornnco of the country below .Richmond md with Insufficient guides. Ho says Leo's object in retreating Irom Petersburg [ n lie last days of the war was to reach Dan ville , unlto with Johnston , and crush Sher man before Grant could loin him. Ho de clares that McClnllan and Meade were two of .he best federal generals , and says had the former received hearty support fiom the fed- < ral war department , his oampalcn against tllchtnoud would have resulted disastrously to the confederates. Davis and his family are warm in their iraUes of the late John W. Garrett , and con- inn the story told by the latter of how ho secured - cured Davis' release from Fortress Monroe. Davis has no wish to enter public life , but Is deeply solicitous for the welfare and prosperity of the whole coun try , and says the only disturbing element to be discerned now are the efforts ot the extremists of the north to keep alive 'or political purposes the animosities and the mtreds of the past. He thinks the time has come when reason should be substituted for passion , and when men who have foimbt In support of their honest convictions shall bo able and willing to do justice to each other.
