most ''rowdyish" affair that l ever heard
the name of the Duke de Gramont con

in dress and in appearance, as in heart, in

gentleman; and it scarcely seemed posi-

he was breakfasting at the Cafe Fog, that
that scrupulously neat, plainly dressed
young man with the light sandy whisllers,
the blue eyes, and the fdir, almost girlish
face, was the one whose adventures were
the constant talk of Paris. Scandal con-
nected his name in what anywhere out
of Paris would be considered a very un-
creditable MANNER with several ladies of
position, and particularly with the duchess
of another duke, who, until lately, occu-
pied high place in the French Cabinet.
This was his life-racing, gaming and
making love. 1t is said that he had de-

The Biography OF a Fast Young Man

Paris Correspondence New York Herald
The Duke de Gramont-C Caderousse was
the second son of Charles de Gramont,
Duke of Caderousse and Laura Helene
Paulze d'Ivoy. His elder brother, who
was attached to the American legation,
was lost in the ill-fated Arctic, and the
late Duke assumed his title and came into
possession of fortune yielding an income
of one hundred and fifty thousand francs
year, in 1854. From that time till
within a month of his death he maintained
his reputation as the leader of the je,ulesse
doree of Paris. Whenever there was
heavy betting at Ld,lsqweRet or bGecGrGt
in the salons of the Jockey Club, or the
gorgeously furnished and brilliantlylighted
rooms of some princess of the denai monde,
the Duke de Gramont was sure to be the
heaviest and most reckless better. He it
was who, some three years ago, in the
rooms of one of these ladies of the Champs
Elysees discovered and exposed the
cheating operations of Garcia and the di-
rector of the Italian opera, which led to
the trial and imprisonment of the latter.
Whenever there was race at the Bois de
Boulogne or Chantilly, or steeple chase
at La Marche, there was the Duke de Gra-
mont. He was very fond of riding steeple
chases himself, and two years ago L saw
him thrown from his horse into the dirty
ditch at La Marche as he was trying to
leap IT. W honever there was a duel in
the world of those gay youths who formed
the circle in which he moved a king, the
Duke was sure to be in some way mixed
up with it. He, during his ten years of
fast life, fought no less than seven duels,
in one case killing his adversary, a poor
newspaper man named Dillon, one of the
editors of the Sport who had wife and
family of little children depending upon
his exertions for their daily bread The
Duke left Paris for Belgium Immediately
after this affair, but being indicted re-
turned to Paris and stood trial. The evil
dence proving that the duel had been con-
Quoted on 'fair and honorable principles"
the Duke was acquitted; but in accordance
with that rigid sense of right and Justice
with which law seems to be administered
in France, the court required him to paw
a good round sum to the widow of the
man whom he had killed, for saving some
thing in derogation of the manner in
which he had conducted horse race.
Whenever there was first representa-
ton of an opera or new piece the Duke
was sure to be present. for be was a good
musical and dramatic critic, and very fond
of histrionic and lyric art. Whenever
pretty actress was to be sustained, ap-
plauded or defended, the Duke de Gra-
mont was pretty sure to be at the head of
her champions. Three years ago, in Il
comedy entitled "Le Cotillion," which was
produced at the Vaudeville the scene
closed with dance by all the characters.
The pretty Blanche Pierson turned up her
charming nose at the idea of becoming, as
rhe expressed it, "a ballet girl" even for
few minutes. The manager insisted, and
threatened to cancel her engagement if
she did not yield. So finally she agreed
to yield, but at the same time appealed to
the Duke de Gramont then her anext

The EXPLOSION.

The Explosion.
NEw YoRK, October SO.-The number Of
killed by the st. John disaster now foots up
to thirteen, Mr.. Guilbault, of Montreal,
Mrs. Mary J. Lyon, of Adrian, Searles and
W. Nortbup, of Albany, huyi-,s died during
the night.
Most horrible robberies were committed
during the catastrophe, the dead body of
Mr.. Brooks being robbed of his watch and
pocket book, and Mr.. Searles robbed of his
watch while crawling around on the floor
of the cabin. Il is thought the walters on
board were the thieves, one of whom has
been arrested. .-.... .s
Mr.. B. B. Hotchkiss, manufacturer of
HOtehkiss' Shell, occupied a state room ad-
joining those bnrst open by 4he force of the
steam. The floor Of his room was covered
by boiling water, and in stepping out of his
berth his right foot was badly sealded. He
says the rupture in the boiler did not sound
like an explosion, but resembled the gush-
ing out of an immense body of steam. He
did not think at first it was an explosion, as
there was no sharp report His opinion is
that the disaster was not caused by heavy
pressure Of steam, but by an imperlection in
the iron. This opinion is sustained by the
appearance of the boiler, the fractured piece
being turned over as if ripped out, and still
remains fast by one edge to the boiler.
The Fenians.
The members of the Fenian Senate con-
tinued their sessions to-day. The proceed
ings were secret, but it was reported that
agents were to be sent TO Ireland at once to
organize the great revolution, which it is
believed will take practical shape soon. 1t
is also said that the Fenians have revived
the endorsal of officials in this country,
whose names will lend not only inspiration

the defacto release of John Mitchell SO he
may take some active part in the approach

WASHINGTON, October SO.-Mr Morrill,, of

the report of the special commissioners who

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 81, 1896.
ORGANIZATION OF CONGRESS.
Mr.. McPhersOn's Opinion of the Law
and of His Duty Under it-A New

The Washington correspondent of tn
New York Eoeaing Post, whose letter W
copy, is clerk of the House committee OF
Elections He says:
There is lack of correct information
IN certain quarters respecting the organi
zation of the House of Representatives
The Clerk of the last Congress, by law
holds over till the new Congress elects &
n w Spe ker, aud it his d ty to prepare an
official list Of members. he calls this roll
! when the House meets, and when the elec-
ton of Speaker takes place he uses this
roll. Great power is conferred upon the
Clerk, but it cannot be otherwise
Mr.. MCPHERSON has Informed his friends,
without reservation, that he will not place
upon the official list of members any per-
son claiming to be elected from a State
that has been in rebellion against the gov
ernment. To do differently would be to
decide, himself one of the most important
questions before Congress; for to let in
eighty Southern members at the outset, to
vote upon the subject of their own recog-
milton, would end the controversy in their
favor at once
The uniform practice of the House dur
ing the last three years has been not to
admit claimants froIh districts which have
been in rebellion till after the House has
pronounced upon their papers. This re-
verses the practice in ordinary cases, where
the person holding regular papers always
holds his seat till the House decides against
him. Two members from New Orleans
participated in the organization of the
Ihirty-eighth Congress, but the previous
Congress had admitted members from
those districts, thus acknowledging that
they were entitled 10 representation. Mr..
Stevens, of Pennsylvania rose and object
ed to the vote of these members-Messrs.
Field and Cottman-but finally consented
to waive the point, as their votes could
not affect the result, so that even ifthe pre-
vious House had not admitted members
from these districts, it could not be quoted
as a PRECEDENT.
ANEW PR6PosITIoN
An old an influential member of Con-
gress has submitted to some of his friends
a new plan for the settlement of the vexed
question of Southern representation in
Congress. 1t is as follows: Let select
committee Ga joint committee would be
bCbtNA DC AdloNNT ~ WnOlA tllC NOllSlllu-
tions of the reconstructed" rebel States
shall be submitted, with all papers bearing
upon the subject This committee shall
consider, first whether the Stata constitu-
tion is republican in form; secondly,
whether it is the act of the loyal people of
the State over which it is sought to estab-
lish it; and thirdly, whether domestic
is so far restored in such State
that its people can maintain its constitu-
ton
To the House Committee of Elections
each individual case would be referred, as
usual, but said committee will naturally
await the report by the Select Committee |
from each State.
This proposition meets with considerable |
avor here, and will not be opposed by the |
President. b.
