Cable Special to tlio llEE.1 Thu Judgment
of Uio Chnmliro des misos In the ncctmtlon
pronounced Wednesday has doubled the bit
terness of Wilson's adversaries. Though
technically nn exoneration of Grcyy's son-in-
law on the ono point , It leaves hlm'under tht >
flhadows'of Bevcral serious charges which Ho
mayiyet-bo. obliged to answer In the law
courts. An emissary Dt the Herald spent
Wednesday afternoon with Wilson at the
Gravy mansion In the avenue il'Jona and took
the opportunity to Interview him.
"I have had to suffer , " said M. Wilson ,
' 'through the rivalry .of the prefecture and
i the magistracy. I have been caught between
the hummer and the anvil. "
"Is there any truth In the report that you
intend to withdraw from polities and settle
In Scotland ! "
"Tho report Is absurd. I am more deter
mined to stay where I am than over. Events
have proved that the attacks on mo were
really alined nt the president of the republic.
They wcro also directed against an occult
political Influence I was supposed to
possess , Now thut.tho quc.Htlim lias been
rid of purely political interests nnd hatred , I
mean to defend my honor foot by foot and lot
honest folks Judge whether , tiiken separately ,
there is really any gravity in the charges
brought against me. The question of the ab
stracted letters has been seemingly settled by
the ordnnnnnco do non lieu , That tribunal
has decided that , oven admitting the substi
tution , it had not a criminal uhnrautur as the
missing letter * hud no connection , with the
matter at issue. "
"Hut what of these decorations ? "
"As to the decorations , " replied M. Wilson ,
"at the outset of the Limousin atTair it was
said she had 'J0 < ) letters of mine. Then it was
said Truitumycr once had seen a compromis
ing letter. Tlit-so documents no inoro ex
isted than the famous .loubert Invention by
the Intranslgcant , but the imagination of the
public took llro and it was taken for granted
I had organized a huge decoration agency.
f' As If such a thing wcro possible. Why ,
the of the by
crosses Legion are given re
sponsible ministers. Is it not rather damag.
Ing to thoin to suppose them capable of tak
ing dishonest steps to award favors to people
utterly unworthy of them ) "
"You wrotffto Mine. Limousin about ( ! cn-
cralTlillmudon ! "
"Through great regard for the general I
did my best to have him reappolnted to the
command of the corps d'armoo. The repub
licans , especially the Houlanglsts , wore clam
oring for it. Now the very same men are
making capital out of my letter.
"An attempt has been made to
compromise mu in another way , "
continued M. Wilson. "A man
named Nlcipuet was arrested for having
offered to sell M. Neoyonval n decoration.
His accomplice was D'Andlan , but on the
ptotcxt that the two confederates had sug
gested to their dupu the policy of taking un
Interest in my paper , 1 was Implicated. I
had nothing whntuvpr to do with the matter ,
and boon after Uoycnvul was decorated by
M. Wellno , the minister. "
"Could you throw uny light on the Vigncaii
iwiuiryi" '
"I was only called In as a witness and easily
proved I had no connection with the roeucs.
The gentlemen whom they tried to take In
I aru honest manufacturer and I cannot nauio
thorn. "
.At' this point of the interview Mine. Wilson
entered. Sbo Deemed on most affectionate
terms with her husband , despite all the
rumors of domestic discord ullout.
"What is the truth about the Sollloro busi
ness , M. Wilson ! " continued the interviewer.
"Sollloro and I have been chums from boy
hood , " replied Wilson. "Thero is nothing
wonderful in his having Invested part of his
largo fortune in papers. Selliero is sur
rounded by a ultimo of adventurers. Some
how or other they got hold of his papers and
now they are using them to blackmail not
only mo , but his partner , M. Dcmachy , his
family and over one who has his real inter
ests at heart , "
"I must admit , " said M. Wilson , "having
made a mistake in ono matter. I ought not
to have- sent back these 40,000 francs to the
minister of finance but I acted on thu advice
of M. Grevy , who was anxious to have no
money ( piaiTi'ls introduced into the business ,
You know us well as I that it has been
customary to bo rnthor lax in thoj > u small
mutters , "
"Wlmtnro the Veal motives of the attacks
on you I" wikl the interviewer
"They are two-fold , " replied M. Wilson ,
"partly political , puvtly private. The appor-
tunlsts Hiinc , Laurent and the rest have
I never forgiven mo for the active part
I took in overthrowing Gambottn.
On thu other hand thu Intransigeant
Its
people cannot forgive my having opposed thn
s- inanitciinnco of General IJoulungcr as the
minister of war. 1 admire Uoulangcr but !
believe , In the present divided .stii.Vo of par
ties here , wo need peace uui I thought the
general had been imvudent ; , especially Jn
the Sehnaobclo nmtfor. The radicals owed
inq a grud o too for supporting thu Houvior
mlnbiry. I did so because I felt it was the
k- best possible cabinet. G'otait la dernlero
cartouche. A you see , the ministries arc
not easier to form now thau under M.
Grovy. "
"I have had all kinds of charges made
against me'icontmued ' M. Wilson. "I have
been abused for being ruined and abused for
being a millionaire. All kinds of lying stories
havu been floated about mo. Onu day I was
about to bo divorced , the no.xt' had eloped
with Jane Harding. These talcs aru false.
As for M. Grcvy , ho loves mo llko a father. "
"The Jealousy of rival newspaper proprie
tors explains a great deal of what Is mystcri-
ous in thu campaign against mo , " added M ,
Wilson. "Thu Pc-tito Franco and the iVUU
f Comtois worn dangerous rivals to somoof tin
i Purls papors. Above all 1 was detested foi
itI , defending the stulo against monopolies , ct >

"Now , M. Wilson , who , as you think begat

no means caricatured and Is generally
smileing. Ho holds a crush hat in
his right hand , looking toward Miss Colum

and holding her hand. Miss Columbia sports
an Indian sachem crown of feathers , over
fringed hair , and wears a muslin waiting
dress , spotted delicately with btars. Miss
Free Trade has in her left hand a cormncopia
labelled ' 'Fit , , out of which peep corn
and wheat stilks. Shu is habited in a semi-

the inciUcr of cnthusi-ism for Sullivan. If
their M. P. leador-for homo rule had arrived
to-day after his recent seclusion they could
not have been more cflusivo than they were
for the pugilist * who was escorted by thou
sands to his Victoria hotel , where other
thousands were uwnlting his 'coming. Evury-
body wnuUii 16 shako hands with him , but
ho chaltlngly said ho did not' have the
gloves on.
Among the crowil was Crcedon , the home
boxer who has challenged Sullivan. Ho was
duly introduced. As the two faced each
other in a hotel corridor tiicro Came a remin
der of Landscors picture of "Dignity and
Impudence. " Crcedon , 'renewing hts chal
lenge , Sullivan simply-said :
"You are Just about Dempsey'a weight. "
A bystander , turning 'to Crocdon , said to
him : "I saw Sullivan tight his first battle in
America , nnd my advlco to you is to go homo
mid binoko n pipe. "
Sullivan , in a kindly manner , added : "I
have a ten btnno man In my crowd who will
oblige you If you want an opponent "
After Sullivan and party had taken lunch
eon they were driven out to kiss the
blarney stone. So mo ono remarked that
Sullivan had lived not far from
Plymouth Hock , which was America's
blarney stona. After accomplishing that
now rather dangerous act of osculation'Sulll-

lessee of the castle , who introduced him to

was escorted to n faufory where Irish tweed

him with pattonib for a suit.
Returning to Cork , ho dined with bomo lo

had at least 5 bhlllings or S guineas , Indeed ,
for a box , went to the theater. These who
had not even the 5 uhlliingh remained outside

Cable [ Specialto the UKK , ] A'NCW York ,
smuggler was convicted this morninir before
Justice Day nnd u special Jury by his own
confession , the attorney general prosecuting ;
The smuggler's naino is Adolph Sllvorsteln.
His detention of the revenuq tnvtook , InNew
York , the form of pressed loaf tobacco stems
nnd his method of cirey inventing the customs
officials was to pack this Into eight bales
Inside n covering of cotton pickings. The
attorney general stated that certain Amor-
leans were much In the habit of smuggling
that material In such n fashion. ' "In fact , "
ntWcd Sir Hichurd Webster , with n largo
chestnut in his mouth , "tho defendant Sil-
vorsteln , gentlemen , may bo said t to have
been up to snuff. " It seems from "tho
evidence that the tobacco In 'question
amounted to about 1,7(10 ( pounds 'and ' the
treble duty to 1,000 pounds. It was cons'lgned
by Sllvorsteln & Co. , of New Yprk , under the
name of Josephs , a clerk of the firm , to H.
Goldstein and on arriving bv steamship at'
Liverpool was forwarded to London- The
shipper , however , was too crafty. He made
some holes and pulled tufts of cotton out as
evidence , but the stevedores , rats and shift
ing widened these holes so that the lynx-eyed
inspectors nt Liverpool probed the holes and
kept watch on the goods until they were de
livered nt the premises in Spitalfields , which
had been taken on n lease by the other de
fendants at a rent of X70 a year for their re
ception.
The custom house officers on entering the
premises found some of the defendants with
tobacco and they were further identified with
the transaction by evidence connected with
leasing the house , and by a letter found
among their papers which suggested the pos
sibility of considerable business being done
in snuff. Sllvorsteln entered the witness
box and made himself the scapegoat. Said
ho : "I , only I , was guilty , " but the Jury
nevertheless convicted three defendants. All
were condemned , in company with Silver-
stein , to lese the tobacco , and paid the round
sum of $3XU ( ) in penalties , notwithstanding
the eloquent array of q. c's , led by Sergeant
Waddy , M. P. In default of payment prison

here are grieving over the death of Captain It.
E.Uentfoi' some time first ottleer of the Ger-
manio , and , for n short time captain of the
Haltic. He wasmuch _ esteemed in Liverpool
for hi knowledge of navigation nnd many
acts of bravery at seas. Once , when on the
Germanic , a hurricaiio was blowing out in
mid-ocean , and Mr. Hunt was given command
of a small boat , in which several trips were
made between the sinking ship and the Ger
manic , the whole on board being eventually
rescued. Unfortunately , Mr. Hent sustained
severe injuries , which permanently affected
his constitution. Sir Lyon Play-
fair chanced to bo crossing In the
Germanic that trip and admired the pluck of
the mate so much that when ho arrived in
England he brought the commendable act
under the notice of the board of trade , in con
sequence of which Mr. Bent received u hand-
Rome gold medal for his bravery. Ilisjpromo-
tion to the Baltic was shortened in results
because it was deemed necessary that ho
should go to a warmer climate. Ho was then
put ill charge of the White Star steamer
Coptic , employed in the Australian and South
American trade. Ho dic d on board the last
trip and was buried at sea. Doubtless
n largo number of New Yoik tourists nnd
resident Free Masons remember him well.

depart or she woul'l ; lrop him in his tracks ,
Tills -vus the first intimation ho had of her
presence , and ho was ho astonished th.it ho
stood speechless gazing at the determined
woman pointing the revolver ut him. She
repeated thu order , and coming suddenly to
his senses he hastily loft tlio room , She fol
lowed him down stairs , mo.inwhilo covering
him with her weapon , and whqii ho reached
thu siduwalk , instead of calling the
police nnd delivering him into custody ,
she simply told him to "get. "
