JlRAtntcn. Nod. , Fab. Slj-ISpoclal Tclo-
/raintoTiin BEK. ] A sensational attempt
was made last night to burn1 the photograph
palWy of A. C. Campbell nnd but for n
peculiar and unlocked for circumstance
would liavo boon successful. That the .it-
tcthptod crlmo was premeditated and born of
innllco is unquestioned , lho roar door of
tbo building was pried open with some im
plement nnd the lira started In n small loft
used for storing picture frames. The loft is
reached by a stop ladder Kept tu the g.\llory
for that purpose nnd contains a small door ,
lho only oponing.Just Insldothls door the flro
was located but tbo Incendiary lost his cun
ning at lho last momotit nnd closed the door ,
Hhutllng of any possible draft , which nlono
lirovonlod tho'llro from extending.
Mr. Campbell visited the gallery early this
morning by appointment with a customer
nnd found the rooms full of smoko. The llro
wns still smoldering and had partly burned
through the colling.
Campbell declines to make any accusations
but many citizens are free In charging ttio
matter to ono or moro of the gang ot gnmblors
of the city.
The gnmbllng rooms that were raided re
cently nro on the inmo floor of the building
in which Mr. Campbell lives , and the parties
arrested clinrpo Campbell with being the in-
Rtigntor of their nrrest. The building it was
sought to destroy Is in the heart of the busi
ness center , and Ihero in no tolltiic thu
amount of damage thut might have resulted
had the llro flends not been felled in their
dastardly attempts. The greatest indlgna-
tlon Is expressed over the matter.

To hold mo responsible for that conlrlbu-

news Is thnt there is nothing now to say of
the crisis. Although two days have passed
since the resignation of the do Froyclnct cabi
net , M. Carnet has not yet maiio Up Ills mind
whom to call In to succeed Ihom. The presi
dent seams much embarrassed. To politi
cians , however , the whole crisis is amusing
cnouRh. Every few minutes some fresh
rumor roaches the clubs , the newspaper of-
llces nnd the ministers. First It is whis
pered that M. Ulbot has assumed the pre
miership , Then wo nro assured that M.
Consians is the happy Individual. Raeh new
report gains credence for n time , and each of
course Is contradicted.
Tha public nnd the president atone keep
cool. The excitement is confined to nolltlcal
circles and there it IB deep , so dooo , indeed ,
that it has almost driven the pono's encycli
cal making peace with the ropublio from
men's minds. Yet that , is moro Important to
the domestic order than the publication of
the name of tbo now minister of posts and
telegraphs.
Up to the hour at which I send you this
message things remain unsettled. It is
thought possible , however , that M do Proy-
clnet will retain the war portfolio. Uy so
uoinj ; ho would make It clear to all that the
army and tlio defence of "France nro moro
Important than political rivalries.
The latest news is that President Carnet
merely iisked M. Ulbot nnd M. do Froycinot
to retain their portfolios and that M. do
Frorclnet declined to bind himself till tuo
cabinet is formed. Although M. Ulbot has
as yet received no ofllclal mandate regarding
the matter , a Ulbot ministry Is regarded as
extremely probable.

Politics does not monopolize attention.
Paris is groatlv interested In M. Zola's now
novel "La do Uaclo , " thn first Installment of
which has just boon published. I called on
the famous author today at his house , 21
Hue do Bruxolles. Ho was in his study
when I entered a room lillod with bric-a-
brac , tapesiry and furniture of every period ,
tbo faithful reflection of bis own eclectic
mind. The sludy was well supplied wilh
books. M. Zola were hU working dross. A
watch chain and a gold medallion hunt ; from
ono of his pockets. Ho was drinking lho
third of the llvo cups of tea In which no in
dulges every day. I asked him to toll the
Herald the plot of Ms new book.
"The Americans , " said ho , avoiding n di
rect answer to my question , "aro a.groat
people , but they have queer ideas about
literary property. For twenty years past
they have published my works without pay
ing mo a centime for the privilege. Not sat
isfied with this , Iboy hive oven gone lo the
loncth of putting my name on books I never
wrote. For instance a concoction called 'La
Fille oo Nairn' Is sold in the United States
as my work , though I should blush to bo
concerned in It. I fancied that the copyright
laws would make things smooth , but find I
was mistaken. On entering into negotiations
with an American publisher regarding anew
now work , I was sent nn ngroomsnt to sl n ,
declaring thut if any copies of
lho French edition of my book
wcro allowed to enter the United
Slates my Paris publisher and I would bo
prosecuted for piracy. This was really a little -
tlo too strong , so I tore up lho conlrnct and
concluded another. A second incident then
occurred. The American publishers wno
had undertaken the translation of my book
sent mo a protest , complaining that I had do-
colvfid them as to the length of the work ,
which was much longer than they fancied ,
nnd would therefore cost more tlmn , tholr
original estimate to publish. 1 sent tboso
people to the right about , too. It was , i
think , the llrst tune that my publishers had
complained of getting too much for their
money. As a rule the cry la that they get
too little. " . ' '

Then M. X.oln , who had inada those re
marks without mttornoss , but in the tone of
a man who had been rather put out by some
petty trouble , after a abort pause wont
on : "Hut you wont to kno\V the subject of

of the war of 1870 It is divided into three
parts , each containing otyrht chapters. The

"There \orylitllo love in the story. In
the middle of tbo narrativol have introduced
two soldiers , one a peasant and the other a
lawyer. They swear friendship during the
war. Both nosort , aud the peasant kills the
lawyer. In tboso two characters I have sym
bolized rural Franco , which In the real

false. I bclluve that war is both inevitable
and abominable. My object was lo bay to

Look what awaits you if you rush into war.
Live well that you may bo prepared to die
well. ' I never alined at Justifying wars. It
Is monstrous. "
Wlmt Ills Xcit Will lie.
M. Zola said all this In un excited way and
it wus clear bo was wrapped up In his theory.
In answer to u further question ho said that
"La do Ilaclo" would Do the longest of his
works. It will appear In book form on June 30.
M. Zola's next nnd last work will complete
the Uougon Macquari series. It will tell
the story of u doctor in a small provincial
town and will sum up the author's views on
heredity. The novel will bo bused on the
true tola of thu gieat auvaut , Claude Ber
nard , and bis wife and daughter , who wore
once compelled to destroy some papers
of great scientific moment. When
ho has completed the Ilougon Mao-
quart series M. Zola Intends to write
a novel on French noo-catbollcism.
Tbls will end bis labors as a novelist.
Thenceforward be will do his best to trans

Ltndell hotel of representatives ol the pro-

reform party to endeavor to reauh some com

oqiinlly prominent In tholr party.
The entire afternoon wns spout in discuss
ing the matter , but no decision was reached
beyond n continuation of the notion of the
conference held ill Chicago recently , at
which It was determined that nboinnuttco
composed of Dr. Di La Mntvr , Frances K.
Wtllard , U. M. Millar , UoncntlVeaver , Mr.
Donnelly , Samuel Dieltlo nnd K. J. Whnolcr
should present to the Industrial confercnco n
series of rosolutlons dcclaiing in favor of tlio
issue of money by the general government
In sufllclent quantities to prevent the In
tervention ot private Institutions , such money
to bo full legal tender ; In favor of tbo sup
pression oftho saloon ; in favor ot govern
ment control of transportation ; opposing
alien ownership of land , with a limitation on
nny ownership , and favoring municipal suf
frage for women , with nn educational qunllll
cation. This committee will thciofore pro
sor.t thCEO isslu's to the eon Terence with n re
quest that they Do ondursed in Iho platform.
Will Split on the l.liinnr Uiu-Ulon.
It is understood that thu liquor plmilc will
bo mot In the confetcnco with a counter
proposition to Iho elloet when a state legis
lutes upon the question that legislation shall
bo regarded by other stntos nnd the federal
government , nnd the stulo protected in Iho
enforcement of Its law on thu qnestlnn. A
lively time is promised in the matter when
the full conference comes to consider It , as
ono wine of tlio industrial people , led bv
General Weaver , nro practically in favor of
straight prohibition und nn alliance
with the prohibitionists , while another ,
headed bv G. F.nsliburno nnd
U. K. Tnubonuck insist that eco
nomic reforms nro sought bv thu bodies now
gnthcring , nnd that the liquor question
should rccoivo consideration later. Still it
is urowlng evident from expressions let full
that the prevailing sentiment will bo in
favor of some nction touching thu liquor
question , though the conference's plunk will
bu more likely to favor the nationalization of
the trnfllc than the immediate absolute sup
pression thereof.
Held u Short SPHHIIII. |
The oxocutlvo committee of the psoplo's
party hold a short session this morning , but
attended only to routine mutters.
At today's Catherine of the National Citi
zen's Industrial alliance , thu lirst held hero ,
the usuai committees were appointed nt Iho
morning session. An adjournment wus then
had until this afternoon , when twenty llvo
delegates to next week's conforcni'o "wore
chosen. These delegates were Instructed
to support independent political action. An
adjournmeiit was then had until this oveu-
iui ! when election of national oftlcur *

It was learned toniuht the National Citi-
icns Industrial alliance delegates will enter
next week's conference , instructed in ndcj'
lion to their support of an independent
movement , to present onlv ono demand to
tno conference , that being that the constitu
tional right of the government to coin money
shall bu recognized und that the government ,
alone shall issue money to the people. The
committee reporting Uie slnglo demand wn < <
unanimous in its favor , and also in favor of
adding nothing moro to it.
The reason fur the strong efforts of the
prohibitionists to secure the adoption by tlio
industrial conference of n strong prohibition
plank , U to secure the exclusion of tlio
nationalization pl.ink , supported by tliu
Washburnc-Taubeneck element. This
nntioiKili/.ation scheme is practically govern
mciit control of thu liquor tralllc , nnd is
b.vjUcd by the liboinl element of tlio indus
