FRENCH SCANDAL TO BB PROBED
Premier Combes Explains "Carthnslaa
Millions" aad Inquiry Will Follow,
PARIS, June 10. During an acrimonious
discussion In the Chamber of Deputies to
day betjfeen Premier Combes and M. Mil
lers nd, socialist ex-minister, someone on
the right shouted: "What about the Car
thusian millions T" alluding to a scandal
that has betn the subject of violent con
troversy In the press and which was a sub
ject of a Judicial Investigation a fsw mouths
ago.
"That 1 one of th most painful recol
lections of my life," said the premier. "I
saortflced certain proof of an Infamy com
mitted against m to high political con
sideration!." Immediately after the current question
had been concluded, a deputy asked leave
to Interpellate on a subject of alleged
bribery. Premier Combes expressed satis
faction at the opportunity to reveal a
secret which had weighed on him, and he
made the following statement:
In December. 1802 ' the secretary of the
minister of the Interior, Edgar Combes, the
premier's son, Informed me that he had
received a visit from a person offering
two millions If I would brlnn In a bill auth
orising the Carthusian monks to remain
at uranae unnrtreuue. i replied inai toe
person had better not enter my room unless
he wanted to go out of the window, and
attached no further Importance to the In
cident until a few. months later, after a
bill refusing an authorisation to the Car
thusians had been brought in.
The newspapers accused the secretary of
having asked a million for me to make a
speech In favor of the Carthusians. An In
vestigation was made and the Intermedi
ary, who was M. La Grave, commissioner
of Franc to th St Louis exposition, wa
examined, hut refused to name the person
for whom he had acted.
The minister of commerce cabled to M.
Jj Grave, ordering him to give the name.
He replied that he had communicated It
to M. Mlllerand, bis former chief. -M. M1U
lerand sought me and begged me not to
divulge the name for Important political
reason. Th matter wa then dropped.
A lively debate ensued. Several depu
ties demanded a full publlo Investigation of
the attempt to corrupt the premier. Premier
Combe declared that ' tha government
wished full light to be thrown on the mat
ter and did not ear whether an Investiga
tion waa mad by a parliamentary commis
sion or by the Judicial authorities, Th
Chamber dr elded almoot unanimously to ap
point a oommlssion of thirty-three deputies,
whioh will be elected on Tuesday, thor
oughly to Investigate the subject. '

Hamlin of Cripple Creek Says Organ
isation Baa Record of Marder,
Arson aad Lawlessness.
CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo., June 10. Clar
ence C. Hamlin, secretary of the Cripple
Creek District Mine Owners' association.
gave out the following statement today in
reply to a telegram from a New Tork
newspaper, asking him as "head of the
vigilante" to present his side of the
labor troubles here:
There Is no vigilance committee In this
community. 'the on:y movement that
niiKlu be considered of that character oc
cunei after the independence outrage of
Monday, wnen aetermined citizens took
steps to bring about the resignation of
several officers who were either incom
petent or in sympathy and collusion with
those responsible for the murders and
dynamiting which have taken place here
eince me eirine. i nese crtlcM nave been
tilled by capable men and the situation Is
now In the hands of a sheriff fully able
to iianuie it. Me is acting In full harmony
with the adjutant general of the state.
The position of the Cripple Creek oper
ators lias been placed In an absolutely false
light by the eastern presn. Labor leaders
attribute these troubles to the defeat of
the eight-hour law In Colorado. The fact
Is that we have been working an eight
hour day for ten years, paying a minimum
wage of t and an average wage of about
4 per day. The actual working time of
a miner Is but seven hours.
No grievance was lodged against the
operators when the strike was called and
had the question been leff to the miners
themselves itO per cent would have voted
against It. This strike Is due to the fact
that the striking rower hns been taken
from the union members and lodged In the
nandH or a lew leaders, criminals them
selves and dependent on crime to attain
tneir ends.
While this strike Is called a sympa'
thetlc one, to aid certain mlllmen, most
of them also working an eight-hour day,
Its real purpose, was to compel every
miner In the district to join the Western
r ecieration or Miners or leave the country,
This organisation has a record of law
lessness, murder, arson and dynamiting
In Coeur d'Alene, Butte, Ijeadville, Idaho
Springs. Telluride. Cripple Creek and else
where extending: over a period of ten or
fifteen years, which should 'appal humanity.
xnese outrages culminated nere Monany
wnen nrteen men were blown to eternity
and as many more maimed so that death
would be a mercy. The only parallel to
this organisation can be found In the
Mollis Mnffulres of Pennsylvania, and their
members were law abiding citizens com
pared with the organization which we have
to deal witn. me peace and quiet of the
state demand that this organization be
exterminated, root and branch. The re
sponsibility for the above outrages Is so
well fixed f. t no person can belong to
the Federation and pretend to be a law-
aotdlng citizen.
Since Monday's calamity we would close
every mine In this district for ten years
rather than let a single member of this
organization work or live here. But this
is not necessary, for all our mines ara
worklnr full handed with a better class of
men, all nonunion, than ever before.
rne fact that no lawlessness has been
committed since the outrages of Monday
and that every good citizen Is standing at
the right hnd of the sheriff In his en
deavor to maintain the law and to suppress
tnis lawless organization speaks volumes
for the patience and -law lovlna Qualities
of the people of this community.
There is now no legal question Involved
In this controversy other than that of
the right of a community to purge Itself of
a criminal organization whose very ex
istence Is a standing menace to the lives
and property of those whose only offense
Is that they claim the right to work.
Our flKht haa not been against unionism
as sunn, nut against criminal organizations,
and it will not be discontinued until no
member of thla organization 1 left In
Teller county.

LONDON, June 11. (New Tork Herald
Cablegram Special Telegram to The Bee.)
Once more Interest has shifted from Port
Arthur to Manchuria, where a general for
ward movement Is in progress of execution
by the Japanese array
This morning the official new from the
Japanese first army Is regarded aa record
lng the most Important operations by the
Victors of the Yalu since crossing that
river and the occupation "of Feng Wang
Cheng by a linked series of practically
simultaneous movement extending between
extreme points, something like 100 miles
apart, as the crow files.
General Kuroki has at one entrenched
himself upon the flank and thrown himself
across the front of his adversary's posi
tion. General Kouropatkin could not have
moved southward under any circumstances
without exposing his base, but even It he
could protect his communication at Muk
den, he could not, according to opinion
held here, now break through the forces
that bar his path without lighting and
winning the greatest battle since Sedan.
It Is suggested by the Dally Mail that
General Kuroki has been "waiting to See
whether the tortoise could not be Induced
to put out it head," or, In other words, to
see whether General Kouropatkin would
riot make a movement to support Port
Arthur.
It now seems that ,the Russian general
has abandoned such an intention, in view
of his inadequate force, but he haa run
considerable risk by sending some 10,000
men to the south of Kai Chau who must
be in great danger if the Japanese press
their advance.
Ralas Come Sooa.
Much, however, dependa on the weather
and the state of the Manchurlan road. It
haa taken the Japanese more than several
weeks to advanoe from the Yalu to Slam-
atsaa, a distance ot sixty miles, and to
land two or three additional armies, or
some 160,000 men, but now that their main
force has been disembarked. If the rain
holds oft, their advance should be much
more rapid, but not many days' now will
pass before the rainy season sets in, so
that if the Japanese - mean to atttwik Gen
eral Kouropatkin they hav no' time to
lose. ,
The Dally Telegraph thus sum up the

There is just now quit a crop of sensa

that the whole of the third Japanese army
ha been destroyed. Sometimes It, is re
ported that Port Arthur ba been taken
by atorm, following a Bombardment by
land and sea, whereas tb Japanese alege
guns hav not. yet been landed and the
outposts of General' Oku hav scarcely
been able yet to coma within sight of
tho Russian hav not tried to profit by
tho natural defenses ot tho peninsula to
retard, if not stop, th Japanese advance.
'Sometimes It Is reported that the fleet of
Admiral Togo ha been beaten and almost
annihilated; finally It is sometimes re
ported that Admiral Skyrdloff haa affected
an entrance to 'Port Arthur with hi
Vladivostok squadron. Doubtlesa, after ail,
th truth may sometimes appear unlikely,

THINK PORT ARTHUR WILL FALL
Russian Plans 'for Subsequent Move
ment of Fleet Are Com
plete. ST. PETERSBURG, June la There Is
reason to believe that the plans for the
departure of the Fort Arthur squadron, In
the event that the fall of the fortress be.
come Imminent, have been completed.
They Involve the co-operation of the Vlad
ivostok squadron. After the blockading
fleet ha been engaged, the uninjured Rus
sian ships will effect a Junction with tho
Vladivostok squadron and make their way
to Vladivostok. The fact that the Corean
straits are mined and guarded by a Japa
nese torpedo boat flotilla, which haa been
established to satisfaction of thatid-
mlralty here, greatly increases the diffi
culty of the operation, but the Russians
will probably prefer to take ohances of
getting through rather than of naklng a
S.OOO-mll Journey around Japan. The at
tempt may occur ot th first favorable
opportunity. The squadron la useless for
the defense of Port Arthur, while. If pre
served entire or in major portion, oven the
fall of Port Arthur would be robbed of
much of its Importance, from the stand
point of Russia's future plans.
The repair to the Russian battleship
Pobleda are now practically completed.

to prevent future Russian raids.
The step baa not yet been agreed on, as
ths policy Is questionable in view ot the

eviration So Significant to
tho People.
The splendor of the present; th wilder
ness that was; and bow and why. For the
contemplation of which was the semi
centennial. Tb people of Nebraska in Omaha yester
day commemorated the approval of Presi
dent Pierce May. 30, 1S54, of the Nebraska
Kansas bill which permitted the organiza
tion of the territory of Nebraska.
A beneficent providence forbade tho rain
that fell slightly in th morning nnd the
remainder of the day was so fair In char
acter a to Induce thousands to view tho
parade downtown and pack the huge "Au
ditorium to Its last seal.
The celebration waa everything th nam
Implies and was divided Into three dis
tinct phases. First, in pageantry knd dis
play by the grand civic and military parade;
In thoughtful consideration of the circum
stances combining to make the state. Its
present and its future, by the meeting In
the Auditorium, at which Henry D. Eata
brook delivered a brilliant address; and
third. In reminiscence and good f- 'ljwshlp
by an informal old Bottlers' reunion at the
Orpheum theater In the ev'liig, at which
nine of the oldest and most prominent citi
zens told of th events that shaped tho
commonwealth.
Deep Interest Taken by All.
Th outpouring of vwerable resident
who oune to Nebraska and Omaha In the
early day was et.vo.daHy remarkable and
Indicated the deep Interest felt In the af
fair. The men and women classed aa
pioneers were too many 5or the sixty car
riages that bad been provided and tho
many private conveyances, a&d some dtffb
culty was encountered In giving all of them
an opportunity to ride In the parade. At
tbo Auditorium more than 6,000 people of
ail ages and conditions probably one ot
the most truly representative and cos- ,
mopolltan groups that ever assembled In
Omaha proved that the great building Is
none too commodious In Its present unfin
ished condition.
The commemoration did not begin until
afternoon and from 12 o'clock on the day
was given up entirely to the occasion, all
publlo buildings and many private ones
being closed. The throngs that congregated
downtown to view the parades have been
equaled only by some of the Ak-Sar-Bcn
congregations, when thousands of visitors
were in the city. For a celebration of tho
aula me paraae was uncommonly una,
Wonders of Fifty Teara
Most marked of all the feeling expressed
and felt was that of deep wonder over
what had been accomplished in Nebraska
In fifty years; hearty self-congratulation
upon ths condition of the present and
earnest faith In the future. This wag tho
spirit that predominated ths gatherings. It
waa a truly' happy, celebration, without
tumult but with ixsiny . happy smiles
and frequent handclasps betokening feel
ings of brotherhood and awakening old.,
memories and associations.
The incomplete Auditorium at 11:30 seemed
aa though it could hold no mora. A plat
form, had been built midway down tba vast
hail on the south side so that all present
might hear, and from this the speaker
addressed the people. Tha patriotic and
beautiful decorations of th opening ball
remained. Faf back against the walla peo
ple were standing. They were mossed In
tho galleries and upon th tase, and still
they cams.

The beautiful music quieted tbo multitude,
and the move to a standing position when

spontaneous accord..
When the mualo ceased with a last tri
umphant blast Dr. Miller ro and said:
"I have the honor to call this great as
