Thopondsontho Bols doBologno , the Saint Cloud and the Versailles nro coveied with tleliclously smooth ice , and n hundred pretty little Parislennessurrounded each with a little coterie of admirers , whisk nnd circle about on the ice , stopplne every few minutes to warm their duinty toes at largo brariers that are placed at convenient Interval ! , on the edges of the ponds. The Circle du Patlnuros Is In full winter glory , and grand skating fetes are In progress. Politics have again como to tlio fore , and when Paris woke up yesterday the streets were plastered with flaming signatures of Lo General Boulangcr. Le bravo general is still popular ns over , perhaps more so. Not only the radic Us , but the royalists con tinue to support him. In commenting on the election fixed for January 3 , the Figaro nays : "Boulangor's programme Is distinctly republican , but Is so adroitly worded as to give offense to no one. " Guuloissays : The Paris election on Jan- nary 27 will bo a repetition of the triple election ( tion of the 19th of August , n crushing vic tory for General Boulanger , and that -true royalists In Pails will vote for iilrn. They know what they want and no matter with whom they travel or what road they take , the over im portant consideration is that they arrive at their journey's ' end. So all good royalists m Purls will vote for Boulanger. The Republiquo Francals appeals to the sound common sense of the Parisians and asks what they expect to gain by votln g fern n man who never yet distinctly declared what his opinions were or what he would do If once in power. The Journal DCS Dobats says General Boulangor'a appeal to the voters of Paris is mere nonsense , nnd that ho can never hope to capture the votes of the city of Paris. Rappcll says Boulanger gives no opinion nor platform. He merely says mol , and that's all. Fashionable Paris is now taking wing for the Rivera , and , ns usual at this season , chronic denunciations of the dangers of roulette - letto and rouge ot noir continue to bo thun dered against Monte Carlo , which still con tinues to be a most magnetic nnd fascinating wintering spot for Europe. The victim of gambling this season is n military oBlcor , who was stationed with his regiment near Nice , and wont to Monte Carlo with 12,500 francs duo to his company as pay ofllccrand won about 50,000 francs , and then lost everything ho had , Including the 13,500 francs belonging to bis regiment ; but the of ficer , still confident , wrote a letter to the Ca sino authorities , telling them that if his money was not returned ho would blow out tils brains In the princi pality and thus bring about an awkward scandal. The letter caused n flutter in the i bosom of the director , M. DoThezillut , nnd bo conferred with the three administrators , M. Bourdoncle , M. Bonier nnd M. Wichtn , a Gorman , who isn relative of Madame Blanc. Those gentlemen devoted a long time to the matter. They were accustomed to such ap peals , and , under ordinary circumstances , would have simply sent the unlucky ramb ler about his business. The unlucky person , however , In this Instance , was au onicer in the French army , and should ho bo EO foolish as to scatter his brains about In n local orange grove Incon venient consequences might ensue. The mutter , therefore , was referred to the most mighty and puissant council of the Casino. This omnipotent body has Its headquarters In Paris , and is legally constituted as the Soclcto Auonymo do Bains do mcr ot du cerclo dcs Etranzor a Monaco. Its members are Prince Roland Bonaparte nnd Prince Radziwll , who Is connected by marriage with the Blano family , but Prince Radziwll and Edmond Blano merely draw their revenues , relegating their duties to secretaries. The members of the high council having received notice of the offi cer's application and threats , deliberated ana came to thu conclusion that the applicant should receive his money back. The ofllccr was accordingly repaid the sum which ho bad lost and signed an agreement to rotund it to the Casino .by monthly Installments. Soon afterward * , however , the military au thorities hoard of the affair , nnd the o HI cor was cent off to Tonkin , So ended this year's Monte Carlo scandal. Meanwhile all flock thither to enjoy not so much the gambling , but the sunsuluo and charming scenery of the Rlvorla. Ho was u man might hall from Boston and Now York , a man with elastic step and an engaging manner , who might bo fifty years Old and who hardly looked forty , Ho _ was ecated in the billiard room of the Grand ho- tclj and commenced sipping his after dinner coffee and talking. Ho was Rollln U. Squire , ex-cominlBsioner of oublio works in Now York Clt.v. You want to know my opinion on Now York polittcsl Rotten , sir , rotten to the core. Talk about corruption In the past. Why there are men prominent In New York to day who are so corrupt they would out-tweed Tweed If they only has his genius ; nnd , by the way , there is one whoso first name is William and his last Is Grace , nnd God help Peru If ho gets his hands on it. Dave HUH What uo I tulnk of Dave Hill ! 1 don't care to bo Inelegant , but there nro four Anglo-Saxon words which formulate my opinion of him , with beautiful distinct ness. When I became commissioner of pub lic works in 1S35 , Hill cnmo to me and said , 'I would like to know what you think of mo for governor of the state In ISSSt' 'Well , ' said I , 'Mr. Hill , I think you a good man for the place , nnd when you want my help you have only got to siiy so. I am not much of a campaign leader , but I am a good lieutenant. I have con fidence in you , and whenever you wheel your political cart tip alongside of this depart ment , I will shove the whole thing In , from the roof to the cellar. So wo agrcd to be friends. I was to glvo him my faithful support nnd ho was to protect me against the machinations of this same man Grace , who was the mayor of the city. Hill told mo repeatedly that not the slightest con fidence was to bo placed In anything Grace might say. I kept my promise to Governor Hill , and what did ho do ? Before the end of It ho had signed a paper which removed mo from oflleo. That is the kind of a man Hill is. Whcti I was Informed of this act of treachery 1 said to ono of the gov ernor's aides , who was with me , "You go back to Albany and tell Dave Hill that if I were not restrained by n self-respect which ho has never known , I woulu go to his mansion nnd slap his traitor's mouth , were he seated in the gu- bernatoiial chair itself. ' . Now , just ono moro word about the presidential election. I won't say much , because it is an old story how Cleveland was beaten , because ho got the swelled head and for got his friends. He began to pose as a candidate of the respectable classes , and to neglect the boys , to whom he owcit everything. The result was the boys went back on this inflated man of des tiny , and unfortunately in New York state the boys have much moro to do with the elections than the respect able classes. In fact , they have pretty much everything to do with them. Dave Hill did not forget the boys. Consequently Hill remains at Albany , while Cleveland is left out in the cold. Mr. Squire will sail for America to-day with a French gentleman , who proposes organizing nn extensive com mercial enterprise in the United States. After about six weeks Mr. Squire will proba bly return to France , in connection with the system now under consideration by the French government for improving the postal service ; and Mr. Squire has still other irons In the fire. There is a mysterious talk about a wonderful dynamite gun which he is said to have offered to the Russian govern ment. He also writes poetry.

There is no criminal aspect in the case , so far ns it has been developed here. Presi dent Cottrell has boon making strenuous ef forts to settle with the Friends , who will not give up unless they get big boodle. The Journal reporter has seen the contract nnd it makes no mention of manufacturing sueur from the raw material. The men who pose as dupes confess this.

Mrs. Friend and Howuad own n majority of the stock and the alleged secrets. The only way the "dupes" can determine whether or not they have been duped is to get control.

So far this winter has been most miserable. There has been' no snow , nnd only in a few northern counties has there been any skating. The metropolis has been one vast , sunless labyrinth of fog and muO. Society is preparing Itself to receive the details of a most unsavory scandal that 5as Just transpired in Madras , wheie the sep aration of the governor , Lord Conncmare , and wife Is the absorbing topic. From what 1 can learn , Lady Conncinarc recently left the government house during a state ball and spent the night at a hotel , while her llcgo lord danced away the hours , totally in different to her absence. Next day Captain Quinn , aide de-camp , applied for leave , and Brigade Surgeon Briegs , surgeon to the governor , resigned his appointment. Lady Eva Quinn declares she will never return to the government house , nnd Lidy Conno- mare is en roiuo for England. Reports giv ing the reason for her ladyship's sudden departure are too deli cate to bo unveiled at present , though Madras is disgusted at their revolting na ture. Lord Conncmaro Is sixty-one years of nge , was under secretary for foreign af. fairs In the Bcuconsfleld cabinet , and is a brother of the late Earl of Ways .Ho has yet three years to serve as governor of Madras. Lady Conncmnro Is a daughter of the cele brated Marquis of Dalhousii' . Lord and Lady Councmaro have been married twenty-live years. The latter wtM < 4 ccntly made by her majesty , lady of the imperial order of the crown of India. t * The suit of Miss "Wfcdemann against Cap tain AValpolo will shortly be re-opened , and friends of the future Earl of Oxford have fears of the result.

Ho had just previously resigned and thus escaped the embarrassing situation. Public subscriptions to defray Miss Wicdomann's suit arc pouring in , and over 200 have been collected. Mrs. Joseph Chamberlain's reception in Ireland must bo very gratifying to her family and friends In America. Stic will bo pre sented to her majesty at the first drawing room , nnd her sponsor will bo the Marchioness of Salisbury. Great reparations are making in Birming ham for n public reception which is to bo given Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlain Tuesday night.

The working jewelers will give Mrs. Chamberlain n suit of jewelry for morning wear , which is to bo made in the west division of Mr. ChauibcrJaln's own constituency. The citizens in their address will say : "Tho lady of your choice would always bo welcomed In Birmingham , but the welcome Is greater because she comes from among our own kinsfolk across the sea to reside In the city which has nhvnys taken special Interest in the prosperity and welfare of America and her people , " The address from the West Birmingham division takes the form of a triptych m solid silver , with gold monograms and enamelled medallions In relief. The gifts to Mrs. Chamberlain in clude a pearl ncckluceiat 400 , a diamond star and suit of gold'fillgroo.

A brief , but very interesting discussion ensued. Mr. Morgan took ttio view that congress had no i ight to trammel thodiploointic action of the executive by the passage of the joint resolution. If the idea Is to be expressed by congress it should bo done in the form of a concurrent resolution only. . Mr. Sherman treated Mr. Morgan's objec tion to the form of thu resolution as moro technical than important , but was willing to have the resolution made concurrent , al though he thouglit the latter better form as binding three branches of the government. He liked to see all the nations of the world ( but not governments ) co-operate in the work of the Panama canal. After further discns ion the resolution went over till Monday , and the tariff bill was taken up at ii o'clock. Various amendments wore ottered to para graph It1. !

The del egation had come to ask that tlie sugar schedule , as proposed by the senate tariff bill be modi Hod on the ground that 50 par cent reduction in the duty on sugar would ruin the sugar industry not only In tropical cane in Louisiana , but also of the beet sugar industry of California , and the sorghum industry of Kansas. At the hearing this afternoon Parkinson and Representative Peter * spoke in behalf of the sorghum sugar producers In Kansas , assert ing that If the sugar tariff was undisturbed business would bo greatly developed In the Immediate future. They objected to bounty , because it was likely to be only of temporary duration. Henry C.

Ho declined to tnuko the terms known , but said It was far from an unconditional surrender on the part of the brotherhood ; that several itetn.s of Importance to the brotherhood had been conceded by the Burlington Otllcials. A local paper says : " A man standing high in railway circles told a reporter this afternoon that the engineers had abandoned their claim for the abolishment of the trip system am ! the inauguration of the mileage plan used by other roads. They had nlso withdrawn the demand for the ar bitration of the classification or graded pay rule.

These gentle men have already received private intima tion of the fact that this course will be pur sued by the London judges , and are prepared to bo examined whenever the London law yers make their appearance.

The committee on Indian affairs in its report accompanying the : > ill providing for the division of the Sioux icscrvation , says the Sioux Indians arc com- iletcly under the control of a few arrogant ind self conceited chiefs , and these chiefs ire largely under the control or the Northern Pacific nnd Noithwestcrn railroad companies md a few avaricious white , or squaw men , who , with iv few chiefs , are reaping largo fortunes from the common tiroporty of their own people. The Northern Pacific railroad , is wo are advised , own large amounts of real estate In Dakota that they desire to sell it profitable llguics , and if this bill .should become a law and thereby open up 11,000,000 acres to settlers at nominal figures , com pared with the prices they ask for theirs , Lho market for their iamlt. will bo closed for many years to come , so they , with their mighty power , oppose the bill. The North western railroad company , running to Pierre on the Missouri river , is interested , HO wo are advised , in another road that runs around this great reservation to the Black Hills , and docs all the carrying trade for this vast section. To open up this reservation would not only compel the North western to com plete its own line through to the Black Hills ( a thing they do not want to do ) , but it forces the Chicago , Milwunkoo & St. Paul and other competing lines thiouKh , There fore , they oppose the measure. The committee - too recommends the bill to pass , and asks congress to give these Indians all the land they can use and teach them that coveni- incuts are not created to support them , butte to protect them , and that , like other people , they must work.

Count Herbert Bismarck last night gave u diplomatic dinner , nt which Count 'SoliouvelofT , Russian ambassador , Herbctte , French ambassador , and othoc leadlnir heads of legations , were present * During the course of the evening , Count Herbert , speaking to Count Von Hutzfcldt > German minister to England , promised undoe request of the emperor , to exonerate SI lj ! Robert Morier , British ambassador to Russia , from any charges connected with the Ba/.ine incident. This result wns communieutod to Morior , who expressed himself us satisfied. Ho says that as official prints made the charge thcra must bo an official withdrawal. Lord Salis bury , hi a personal communication to L'rinca Bismarck , asks him to order a direct state ment that the whole charge is absurd. Emperor William nnd the whole court went to-day to Grunewuld to hunt will boars. Lieutenant Wiesmann , whoso regiment iq. the Second foot guards , is now attached to ! the foreign ofllco for special service in Easfc Africa. In consequence of this ap pointment the Emin relief committee ) bus relieved Wiesmann from all con nection with the relief expedition and ! has nominated Dr. Petcis chief leader la place of Wolssman.

A measure will be presented In , the land tag increasing the King's civil list jyrO,000'Op $ marks , this sum bolrig'ladditlonal to thi fj amount requested from the roichstair. ScmU official papers arjrue that the allowance should bo more than that. According to tha - * ! feeling in Berlin , It ought to bo double th4 amount asked. The Reichseii eiger publishes the follow * ing rescript from Emperor Wilholtn id r Prince Bismarck , bearing date of Decembet r 31 : Dear Prince : The .year , which bus brought us such heavy visitations and such Irrevoca ble losses , draws to an end. It is a joy and , solace to think that you still stand loyally bjf my side with fresh strength to enter upon the now year. From my whole heart I invoice - ? voice upon you happiness and blcsslngHyiut above nil uninterrupted good health. I trust ! to God that I may still bo long permitted to labor with you for the welfare and greatness of our futhorlnnd. WILIIEUI. The papers to-day generally comment on the Morier affair. The Vossiche Zletung re marks : The accusation against Morior rests J on the controversal assertion of u man who is no moro. No evidence can bo adduced in . -4 support of the charge , therefore it cannot bo regarded as convincing. The Zoltung says it is only surprising thuttho plain contradiction between Marshal Ba/aino's statement to Major Von Uictz and known historic facts should not have been perceived , by Von Diets himself , who scouts to have been willing to forgo a weagon with which to strike at tha memory of Emperor Frederick , The Fruizcnnlifo X.oitung says : The Gor man people await what Count Herbert has to say officially on the matter. As things &tand , German diplomacy , bus not covered itsolt with glory over the question. The National Xcitnng holds that Morfer , in his appeal to Count Herbert , was ovor-conlldont. The comments suggest a similar question as to whether Prince BIs- marckand Count Herbert will como out df the affair ns slanderers or an cowards , Morier , according to the sentiment of the English umbussy hero and the general feelIng - Ing in official circles , will compel Count Herbert to apologi/e. In the meantime the semi-official press shows no signs of abating atticks on Morior , rather trying to support the assault. To-night's Herllnor Borscn/oltung , has u vaguely worded official statement declaring the government has proof as to the means by which Morier obtained information concern- Inir the movements and offensive plans of the German troops ; also how ho made use of the information by sending it to the London Times. _ Dr. Uloliniond Declared Suiio , tar.
