view printed by the Gaulols today as saying
that the governments ot Prance and Russia
are anxious to make- every effort compatible
with their economic Interests to develop
commercial InUrcourec between the two
countries. Continuing , M. Uoucher said he
did not entertain the least hope that Russia
would abandon Its protective pollc ) , as the
chief object of Russia was to draw capital
Into the empire , nnd that policy had been
crowned with success , many French , Swiss ,
Delglan and other manufacturers having is-
tibill'scd works In Russia On the other
hand , the aim of Fretice was to encourage
exports Where large government contracts
could be obtained French Influence had suc
ceeded in obtaining them. For Instance ,
contiacta had rcccntiy been obtained to con
struct eighty locomotives for Russia ocul to
build a new bridge OVCT the Neva. The
minister added that Individual enterprise
must still exert Itself.

HAVANA ( via Key West , Flo. ) , Sept. 2.
( New York World Cablegram Special Tele
gram ) Kvangellna Conslo y Clsncros must
open her pretty era many times during the
dull watches of the night In the big dormi
tory of the Casa dc Recojlelas and marvel at
the excitement of which she Id the cause
nnd wonder bow It all happened. I went to
see her Tuesday. Tucselaa , Thursdays and
S.itimlnjH are visiting days at the women's
jail , and the ante-room on these daB Is full
| | of pcoplo from 12 to 4 p. m. who have come
[ \ to condole with and bear good tidings to j | i
their relatives or friends. |
The jail Is full ot women and children ,
black and white. The chlldien arc with i
their mothers because they have no homes
'
and no ono to care for them. They must
servo their terms behind the bars nnd their
young faces are full ot sadness as they peep
out at the visitors , watch the ncgress turn
key as she locks nnd unlocks the giatcd
door and wonder what It all mcano.
What a beginning ot their ) oung lives ,
nnd what an Influence such experience will .
bear upon their future careers ?
'
Some ] of the women are of the lowest fallen -
len class , some aic criminals and some arc
political prisoners. The latter are kept hi 1
ono big room on the second Iloor of this
miserable building , a prison viler than any I ,
of Its wretched Inhabitants , ancient and 111- i
built , without pretensions to oanltatlon The '
fallen women nnd criminals occupy rooms
on the ground floor , opening out Into a court I i
) ard. In the middle ot this court jard aio
two retiring closets In full view of all the
Inmates , of the keeper's office of all the vis- j j (
Itora outside of the grating. At the end of the | i
) nrd Is n shower bath Clotheslines are I '
btrctched from side to olde , and today they i
were covered with women's garments drying
In the hot Havana sunlight. Rations are I
distributed each day among the prisoners
nnd are eaten cither out In the yard or In
i the rooms The political prisoners upstairs
have one or two little oil stoves , which they
use to make their scanty meals more ac
ceptable.
SAMPLES OF THE PRISONERS.
When I arrived at the Jail and asked to
sco Miss Co slo I was asked at once If I
vviis an American nnd It I represented some
New York piper. On my affirmative reply
I was allowed to pass through the outside
giato Into a small room with a stone Iloor ,
on ono of the walls of which was painted In
largo letters , "Salle de Justlcla. "
Evangcltna was sent for upatalrs and
while waiting I had the opportunity to _
notice some of the other women who wcro |
receiving visits. One was a well ditested
woman who had murdered her husband. The
hard look on her face told Its own story.
Sitting next to her was a good looking
woman , who bad been caught selling am
munition and supplies to the Insurgents.
She wrs a political prisoner. Next to her
was a woman who kept a lodging house In
Havana and hid icnted a room te < two men
whom she did not know. While their bag-
gaco wan being removed Into the room the
police seised two ot the tilinks and found
cxplo'lvcs. The men escaped , but the land
lady was nrrcstcd She knew nothing ot
the cse but was held responsible and '
now waiting for the results of the full and
long Investigation.
A few minutes after my , arrival Evange-
llii1 ! came tripping down the stairs and
walked gracefully acrors the end ot the
c-urtvard a-id out through the gate Into the
rcertlon room She fa pretty , beyond ques
tion Her black balraa brushed back
fiom her forehead and hung In n plait down
he- back to her waist Her face Is pale and
thin. It has Icwt Its fullness of a ) ear ago ;
1'cr evrs are bright and even defiant nnd
they flash under holf-clroed eyelids when
she speaks ot her persecutors and then
rotten wl-h the sweetest e\prcrslon when
tbo Bympathy of the American public Is re
ferred to She Is petite of figure and grace-
fill in all her movements. Her manners are
perfect and her eelf-pn flession wonderful
She sivn she has bid her eighteenth birth-
diy while In jail. From her looks she might
Ic anvwbere from 18 to 25 A woman of
40 could rot be more dignified and com-
prscd , ror discuss her case with more
caution.
TALKS FREELY OF HER AFFAIRS.
She paid she could not make any state
ment on paper because her frlcnela had told
her not to , but she talked quite freely of
her hopes and fears nud nnswcree\ questions
seemingly without reserve. She said she-
did not receive her meals from outside be-
cniinn she was afraid of treachery nnd pre
ferred to bo content with the rations of the
jail She deep not have to scrub floors or do
any manual labor ami Is In no way Ill-
treated In the upper dormitory , where she
lives , she has a very clean-looking cot , with
whlto sheets and a coverlet , and she has a
big tiutik In which to Keep her clothes.
There are nbout eight or ten other women In
tills ramo big room. All looked clean and
respectable and were all white women Ono
of them WES a distinguished-looking woman
of about 50 with handsome gray hair. Some !
alleged political offense 1 ? the cause of her |
imprisonment. Sad e > ca they all had i
Evungellna Is the most animated of all , She i
Is the "btar boarder , " and receives more at- j |
tuition and has more visitors. She told me
that the letters which she received from
Colonel Herds on the Isle ot Pinffi and
which contain evidence of bis guilty Inten-
tlnin toward her , were all pent by her
friends to Austria and are by this time In
the hands of the queen regent. She sas If
they could be produced before a civil court
Ills conviction would be certain. The colonel
saB that he never wrote her but one letter ,
and In that granted the permit to her father
to travel as a peddler There jou have a
conflict of testimony.
She said that the prosec ting attorney
had said that she would be sentenced to
twenty jeara' banishment. When he had
Bald that , or to whom , or how he could anti
cipate the verdict of a court martial , she
would not say , She had heard that he said
It She would not describe the events of
the night of July 28 , 1880 , further than to
say that she knew Colonel Derrla was com
ing to her house that night because her
secretary had told her GO. She opened the
door when he knocked , As to how she was
seized or by whom she would not say. She
escaped from tbo house and was caught nnd
arrested the following morning and brought
to Havana ,
EAGBR TO SEE WKYLER.
She sa > n the greatest favor that any one
could do for her would be to secure for
her an Interview with General Weyler. She
sas "I could convince him If ho would
only hear mo , "
I dart * say the general does not care to
be exposed lo these' ejes and winning ways.
As I finished my talk with her , there ar-
lived a Judge of Instruction and two Havana
newspaper men , who took her over to an
other coiner of the room and piled her with
questlorb I wad bed her during the Inter
view and realize el that a widely belle
could not have entertained threa callers
more gracefully nor with more vivacity , She
realised they were enemies , too , because
none of the newspapers hero have been
frlndly to her.
TWO SIDES TO THE STORY.
A careful examination ot the case of
EvaDgellna Cosalo ehowa that there are two
slJci , There hag been much exaggeration
In tbo reports of her case. She Is not 111
treated. She Is not forctM to scrub floors
nor to do any work. She is not made to
sleep In a filthy dormitory 'with vile women.
She Is not compelled to eat trad food. She
Is not sick and consumptive and who has
not been tried and sentenced to bo banished
to a penal settlement. Furthermore , the
Jailer told mo that he knew she was going
to bo pardoned within a short time and
released.
However , the other side of the question Is
bad. From July , 1SOO , to February , 1S97 , she
was kept downstairs In this miserable jail
with all the low women and criminals. The
condition of the plate was so bad that the
American consul asked to have H Inspected
and Improved , because there were some
American women confined there. It Is a
disgrace to any community and to any people
ple to allow so vile a place to be used for
women prisoners , no matter what their
crimes may have been. It will be a further
dli-graco to know a young girl la put Into
such a bouse and In the midst ot such mir-
roumllngs. U Is a further wrong to keep
a girl thirteen months without trial There
fore , although there has been exaggeration ,
there has been ample cause for protest
against the Spanlaids' treatment ot this
young woman , arrested for political reasons
In government circles nothing has been
heard from Madi Id In regard to transferring
Evangellna lo a convent. Opinions differ as
to whether such a change would be of bene
fit. If her case Is let alone tor a while .1
am confident she will be released and per-
baps ordered to leave the Island.

WASHINGTON , Sept. 2. Secretary Sher
man and the now minister from Peru , Scnor
Egulgeren , had a confcrente at the Slate de
partment today , the long pending cabe of Vic
tor McCord being among the subjects consid
ered. It has been stated recently that tbo
United States has presented an ultimatum to
Peru , demanding the Immediate payment of
JCO.OOO In settlement ot the McCord case It
Is learned from official sources however , that
no ultimatum has been presented , although
a courte'ouH but. firm note was addre'pad by
Secretary Sherman to Peru , urging that this
long and Irritating contrejvcrsy bo bpeetllly
closed. There is good reason to bcllevo that
Peru's answer will be of sjich a nature as to
do away with any chance of friction between
the two countries and that a final adjust
ment will bo made at an eyirly day.

LINCOLN. Sept. 2. ( Special. ) This after
noon when the work ot endorsing the action
of ( he other conventions on the nomination
ot the three candidates was over there were
verv few ot the delegates In cither of the
convention halls.
It IT nrobablj a fact that there were more
populists In tbo city who favored a straight
copullst nomination } e.sterday morning than
at anv other time. Quite a largo number
of these , when they found the fusion clement
In control , left on the evening trains jester-
I
day and thus took no real part In the con
vention. The tip was quietly given among
thei union leaders that It the pro cd ngs were
delayed long enough the mlddle-ot-the-rcxid
uonullsts would tire out nnel go home , and
the work would then go along more smoothly.
This Is really what happened ; nnd during
the dellbeiatlons , when It became pliluly
manifest that the mastei- hands ot Ilryan ,
Allen , Holcomb and others wer ° guiding the
party rtralght up to fusion , many delegates
left tile hall and did not return.
That the conventions did not represent the
whole state IH proven by the fact that fifteen
of the western counties were without lepre-
scntatlon In the populist convention , and
jbont the sime number vvcie absent fiom the
other two convention * . This forenoon , in
Fome cases , whole delegations left for home ,
leaving no one behind to cast the vote of
their counties , and when the silver republican
crowd came to the decision which brought
about the nomination of Sullivan there vvero
scarcely fifty counties represented In the
hall.
FEEL THEY WERE SOLD.
Many populiats who came to Lincoln with a
determination to preserve the Identity ot
their partv and compel the two smaller par
ties to join vltli them feel that they have
been sold out and their party swallowed up
and tho'c who remained In the city tills ]
afto noon were freely expressing themselves
on the subject They pointed out tint In |
EDlte of the fact that the silver republlcars
ca t nn insignificant vote In the state , their
convention ivas conceded exactly the same
novvcr as the others In the selection of the1
nominee , and In the end practically turned
dictator In making the selection between
Neville and Sullivan. They believe that the
populist party , with n vote aggregating ten
time ? the number of sliver republicans In
tlic state , should have been conceded a pro-
porticnately gicatei power In the selection of
candidate. ; .
It was on this account that such a bltte'
fight was made on the report of the conference
committee , which recommended that when .1
canlldate should receive a majority from two
couvcntlonc , he should become the nominee
of all three The fight against the adoption
of this report vvns the most bitter of the
scries of struggles in the populist conven
tion , and It led to much turmoil and conttidon ,
durl'ig which there were many bad names i
called and threats to read objecting members ! i
out of the party. One of the moat earnest In' '
denouncing the report Was Re'presentietlvo
Stebblnr of Lincoln county , and the roll being
called while he WZB tcmpoiarlly out of his
beat the solid vote of Lincoln county was
east for the adoption ot the report. Mr. Stcb-
bln.i Is sttong In his denunciation of the vvbolk
proceeding , and Fa > s the populist party Is
hopelessly swallowed up.
Another prominent vvoikcr who expresses
strong dl satisfaction Is Rrpiesentatlvel I I
Richard Dobson of Fillmore. He characterIzes - .
Izes some of the vvoik of the convention u |
'
a shame and a disgrace , and denounces tbei !
un'alr rulings of Chairman Poynter In un
measured tcims.

the government. Mr. McKenna stated that

LINCOLN , Sept. 2. ( Special Telegram. )
Judge J. J. Sullivan of the Sixth judicial elle-
tilcl IH the candidate of the free silver drcl-
bund for Bupiemo Judsc. It took twenty-
two hours ot almohl continuous wrangling
and confusion In each of the Individual con
ventions and conference after confeicnco be-
tvveeu the leaders to icach this result.
AVhcn the conference committee icportcd
at 3.30 this morning the agreement took
the following form :
"Wo rei-ommond the three conventions
meet ( separately and ballot for Judge. All
nominations fahall be presented to the three
conventions and balloting shall continue
until one man shall receive a majority of two
conventions. Each ballot bhall bo an
nounced to each of the other conventions
before another ballot Is taken The regents
blnll be given to the parties which do not
sccuio the judge. "
The democrats cndoised W II Thompson ,
the free silver republicans endorsed C , R.
Scott and the populists William Neville , and
there the mnttci hung all forenoon. Just
befoio noon the democia'q swung to Sulli
van , the fiee sliver republican followed ,
and the poaullsts came In with the best
grace possible , ami the name of J. J. Sul
livan of Platlo county was hoisted at the
head of thethieeInane ticket.
Shortl } after 1 p. m today the populist
party unanimously elected E. Von Korell of
Keainej as their candidate for regent of
the Unlvei<j eif Nebraska A motion was
carried that the regent nominee of the silver
republican party , when annoiac d , bo adopted
by the populist party nnd Included in their
ticket. The populist convention then ad
journed sine die. The ehver republican con
vention nominated George K. Kenower of
Wlsner for icgent , and the democratic con
vention convened at 1 30 o'clock and Indorsed

SCOTT MEETS THOMPSON.
Judge Thompson met Judge Scott In the
populist convention today , and both shook
hands.
"Well , how do jou feel ? Immlred the
forme.- .
"Yes , vou and the pops can get together ,
but how about the sliver republicans , "
anbwcied Judge Scott.
"That contiact was made In good faith
with > our party , " lelorted Judge Thompson ,
"and let's jou and I be good enough men
to ge-t out of the Held when a decision la
made . '
Hath separated without fuither words.
AVhllo the messengers sent at 3.30
ychterday morning to ascertain the
feelings of the other conventions were absent
thcio was evidence of a decided deposition
on the pait of some of the delegates to the
demoe'ntle convention to i' ocecd to ballot
without regard to the decision of the other
conventions. A motion to that effect by Ed
P Smith wab tabled , after a > hart debate ,
and Lanalnn of Lancaster wja called out
to kill time until the other conventions wcro
hrard fiom Matt Gcilng of PlHttsmouth ,
Judge Hcnsley of Columbia and John Hartl-

and then HIP convention flmplj sweltered and

iimlei * the OK cement Just uJoptfd the popu
lists and Kllvci republicans could combine
and shut out the democrats and this precipi
tated a tedious debate at the end ot which
n motion to iccoiujlde'i was tabled. Then
another weniy peilod of Inaction , and It was
ncarl > C o'clock when Mr Ilijan leturncd
with the Inloimatlon that the populists had
agreed to the ceinfeienco recommendation ,
Kven at this hour the delegates Indulged In

that the democratic caiicllilatcu had made In

that It was only a question of a few houis
more when a democrat would be the nom
