' | Copyrtuh 1t&87 by Jamct floi ilun Itcnncl M PAIIIS. August 30. | New York Herald Cable Special to the BKK. ! The crowd fduce midnight has grown and multiplied , and there nro now 30,000 people gathered about Alt the rlif-rnff nnd scum of Belle ville , nil the disreputable women and Idlers nf the Boulevard Montumrtrc , all the morbid foreigners at prcsentsojournlug In Paris nnd all the iourna'.ists , whom duty compels to bo hero , are gathered about the approaches to the grim , frowning prison ot this dnrk and solemn night in the Plnco do In Raucuietto. The feublo glimmer of a dozen gas lamps sheds a dismal light upon this crowds pacing up aud down in front of the prison. The trees which dot the place nro filled with jeering gammons who defy the Injunctions of the police , "Come down out of that. " In cairiages there nro hundreds of cocottcs In gay toilets , drinking cbampngno and smoking cigarettes. Hero and there a weary tramp Is curled up nnd asleep against the wall or on n bench. How any ouo can sleep nt all In such a turmoil Is strange Indeed nnd yet long habit enables scores of them to do It. Every now and then a fresh gang of black guards arrives , swearing , smoking and shouting , era a carriage draws up , loaded with passen gers relatively respectable , and Is greeted with a derisive chorus of "Viola Praiulnl qul arrive. " To while away the tlmo the crowd makes occasional excursions around the corner to a shed In the Run des Folles Kengault , n predestined uani * , surely. When M. ; Dclbler , the executioner , nnd his drended assistants , wore picparlng the guillotine during the evening long after the regulation police hours , the wine shops In the neighborhood of the tcrrlblo machine wcro crowded with customers. Once or twice the "Executor of Lofty Deeds , " as they call the executioner hero , and Ills underlings , steal In to refresh themselves with a drop of drink , but very few of tlio idlers recognize them and those who do , of course , fall to gain any information out of them. Now couplets have been added to the lu- gubiloussoiig : C1 est sa tote , Qu Ml nous fnut Oh ! ohloh ! fit Is his head which we desire. " ] Shortly after midnight the rntllo of hoof and clanking of sabers announced the arrival of the mounted gendarmes nnd Gardes do Paix. In a twinkle the place before the prison was cleared of all but a few journalists and the police ngcnts. The crowd , driven back ou all sides , formed again nt either end ot the place , shouting nud singing. Then came a long pause. About 3 o'clock the rumble of wheels was heard In the direction of the Rue des Folles Kecnault. A few minutes afterward a cart came jolting over the paving stones towards the entrance of the llttlo avenue fac ing the prison gate. There It halted and the executioners assistants jumped off. .Then for half an hour a dreadful sound of hammer ing rose above the songs and cat calls. "Monsieur do Paris" and his mon were pre paring the Inn woods of justice for the tragic business before them. As the hammering ceased , a cab drove up In the place and tlio prison chaplain , Abbo Fauro , stepped out with tlio procureur de In rcpublHiuc and hur rying past the guillotluo disappeared In the prison door. OFF WKXT ins nn.vn. A IS o'clock precisely the priest was scon Issuing fiom the prison gnte. Behind him came Pran/Iul , gnastly pale , led by four executioner's assistants. As ho neared the scaffold ho faltered for n moment , then turning with n dreadful smile of hgotiy kissed the crucifix nnd walked forward steadfastly. The next Instant the kulfo tell. Prnnzlni had expiated his crime. Meeting of the League In Dublin. DUIILIN , August S ) .

O'Brien laid that the first branch of the league against which ttio government should issue the proclamation would hold its meeting with closed doors and refuse to open them for the police , even If they demanded admittance. This would leave the police nothing to debut but to break their way In if they were de termined to enter. As the police would probably resort to this violence , the central branch of the league would then ask the lord mayor to grant them the use of the city hall , wltli special police to defend it during thu league meetings therein. A majority of the Dublin city council , as well ns the lord mayor , are strong nationalists and leadois In the league. THIS MANITOBA TUOUHLK. What the "Standard" Has to Say About It. LONDON.

GORMAN BADLY DISGRUNTLED An Indication That Ho Has Lost His In fluence With Cleveland. FERGUSON LEFT IN THE COLD , News Front the Ute Trouble Instruc tions to Governor Adams The Inter-State Commission . National New * . Professor nalrd's Huccr-mor. WASHINGTON , August 30. [ Special Tele gram to the BEE. ] The appointment by the president ot Prof. S. Brown Geode to bo United States commissioner of fish and fisheries is looked upon as an indication thnt Senator Gorman , ot Maryland , will not hnvo as muchc Inlluono with the president from this time forward ns ho has enjoyed In the pant Mr. Gorman had a man for this place. Ho was a warm supporter of the candidacy of Major Ferguson , the deputy commissioner , Ferguson Is the son-in-law of ex-Governor Swan , of Maryland , and he was very anxious to secure the promotion. He has boon un ceasing In his efforts ever since Prof. Balrd died. Ho became so Importunate that ho president was distrusted. Gorman and there were called upon to work In Fer guson's Interest and on the day before the resident selected Judge McCue to hold the > ositton tcra-porurlly , Ferguson's friends told ilm that the office must DO filled at once , as he ten davs allowed by law were about to ixplro. and Major Ferguson would not bo re- ponslblo for the disbursement of tlio funds of the commission unless he should bo offi cially designated to act as commissioner. This decided the president to act at one * , lie asked Assistant Secretary Thompson to ac cept the temporary designation , but that ; entleman said that be should have to do- illne , as acceptance would bring too much idlcule upon him because ho had no know- edee whatever of scientific subjects. Juctpo McCuo wns out of the city at the time , and It was pnrtly because of this fact that the presl- lent decided to name him for tlio place. When McCuo returned to Washington , ho considered that the place was meant tor him > ern > anently. When ho heard unofficially hat the appointment was only temporary , 10 was very Indignant , and declared that ho cnew better , that the president would not 'Insult" him by n temporary appolnt- uent , and that ho could and would till the position ns well as nny one else. Last night the president sent for Professor Geode and after a brief talk with him he decided hat he was the best man tor tlio position that could bo selected. The appointment was made shortly after noon. An hour be fore that Judge McCuo said that ho had not made up his mind whether ho would accept or decline. It was evident from his manner that he Intended to accent. When ho heard of the subsequent action of the president , ho was veiy much put out and declines to dis cuss tlio subject at nil. The selection of Professor Geode Is regarded ns tlio best that could possibly have been made.
