FRANCE.
The Provisional VIII the
Orleans Princes be Admitted

The Provisional Legislature-Will the
Orleans Princes be Admitted
PARIS, Dec. 5.-The National Assembly
effected an organization to-day by the re-
election of President Grevy and the Vice
Presidents of last session.
The report that Theirs had sent a mes
sage to the Assembly was premature. Al
though its contents are known, it is not yet
been received or published. 1t is presumed
that Theirs withholds the document be-
cause he is against declaring himself in IA
vOr of the admission of the Orleans Princes
to the Chamber, and some avOwal on the
point is expected in the forthcoming mes
sage, more especially as it is supposed that
he has received notification that the Prin-
ces intend to claim a right to their seats as
the legally elected representatives Of the
people.
The status of the Orleans Princes prom
ises to be one of the leading questions before
the Assembly. Bills restoring to them their
cOnfscated estates, and all their rights as
citizens of France, are preparing, and will
be introduced at an early day. 1t is antici-
pated that these measures will give rise TO
long and exciting debates. The extreme
left wing will meet them with propositions
for general amnesty, which, setting free
the thousands of Communists still held pris-
Oners, will only be considered an act of JUS
tice, as that proposed to be done to the
house of Orleans.
PARIS, Dec. 5-Evening.-Thiers ap.
pears to have made up his mind to oppose
the admission of the Orleans Princes to the
National Assembly, for the Princes to-day
waited upon Theirs for the purpose of lis
tening to an exposition of the reasons in
fluencing him against their taking seats in
the Legislature and Of endeavOring by argu-
ment to change his decision. The Presi-
dent received the Princes cOurteously but
owing to the pressure of public business
was unable to hear or reply to them to-day
he however appointed an interview fol
Friday next, at which time he will be pre-
pared to develope fully his reasons for re,
straining them from taking seats in the As
sembly.
The Louvre on Fire!
A great fire occurred to-day in the arcade.
of the Hotel Du Louvre, which contained
many of the most elegant shops in Paris
Owing to the eXertions of the firemen the
flames were eXtinguished before airy injury
had been done to the Palace itself, but the
loss to the store-keepers was immense.

Ku.KIux TrtaI-stanbery's Argument

hu-hluX Irl6I-SttknDeEy's arg 1RHehN
COLUMBIA, Dec. 5.-ln the Ku-Klux
trial to-day, Stanbery for the defence moved
to uuash the indictment against Crosby and
others upon the grounds that the persons
injured are not mentioned in the indict-
ment; that the grand jury had decided as to
the law instead of the facts; that the indict-
ment was defective in stating deprivation
of the right to vote as taking place at fu-
ture date: that the Constitution and laws
do not secure any citizen the right to vote
and that the State, not the Federal Courts,
must redress the personal grievances com
planned of. Stanbery argued for two hours
in support Of his objections. Climber, for
the Government, replies tomorrow.
The State Finances.
In the Legislature to-day number Of
financial measures were introduced, among
which were bills for the cancellation of all
unsigned State bonds, for obtaining posses
sion of the sterling bonds now in New
York and for obtaining full exhibit Of all
expenses since September.

When meats are broiled on a grfdirOn
over hot Goals, the sudden high heat applied
sears the outside, which shuts in the juices,
and the rapid application Ofheat soon cooks
the meat through, if in moderately thin
pieces. 1t is then tender, Juicy and palats-
BE. Those who never brOl their fresh
meat, fish, or poultry, do not know the ex-
cellencies Of a properly cooked dish Of ami
NAL food OF all methods for fowl, broiling
is the best-prOyided that the cook is active
enough to handle the gridiron and meat
dexterOusly, 50 as to not make charcoal of

the meat sufficiently to suit the taste Of the
consumer.

None but Negroes in Rebellion,

HAVANA, Dec. 5,-Senor Moreno has
assumed the Governorship of Havana. A
report of the removal of Valmaseda is I'M
true. The principal telegraph lines have
been placed in working order and remain
undisturbed by the insurgents. This is
considered a proof of the decline of the
rebellion. Several prominent rebels have
surrendered and others call upon their
countrymen to lay down their arms. The
only rebels now in the field are plantation
negroes, who are headed by negroes and a
few whites. These parties, owing to mis-
demeanors committed by them ~"S---

NEW YORK.

\ Sun ENGrNI Several inventors in
different count T.. are attempting to
utilize the heat of the suns rays, and to
construct a sun-engine. Many people
shake their head at this idea, and ridi-
Guile the very .ea of success. But they
are certainly unacquainted with the stu
pendous force at disposal. To convert
one pound of water from zero to steam
requires 637 centigrade units of heat.
The researches of men of science have
proved that every square centimeter of
the earth's surface receives not less
than 23l 675 centigrade units of the suns
heat annually. Forty per cent of this
is absorbed by the surrounding atmos-
phere, and sixty per cent. reaches the
earth. This gives seven centigrade units
received per second on each centlmeter,
80 that nlnetv-one square feet of the
earth's 81 rface would receive heat enough
every second for the IMPORTATION of one
pound of water

The First Newspaper.

An ingenious physician of Paris
Renaudot by name-more than two hun
dred years ago, Int upon good idea for
cutting out" his more learned breth-
ren, which he was not long in putting
into execution, to his own no small I'D
vantage and the great chagrin of hi,
brother professionals His plan was an
extremely simple one, for he obtained
his popularity by the very innocent ex-
pedient of collecting information, and
then circulating news sheets among his
patients, for their especial delectation
and amusement But inasmuch as the
seasons were not always sickly, and he
found he had plenty of time on hi
hands, he was encouraged by his success
to devote his attention more exclusivel,
to the business of journalism, by pro
viding the public at large with news
and accordingly, IN 1851, he succeeded
in obtaining tor himself and family sole
ly the privilege of publishing news
paper called the G0zeHe de France.
Such, at least, is the account of the orr
gin of newspapers given by De Saint
Folk

A Destructive Fire.

At Point-a-Pitre, Island OF Guade-
loupe, nearly the whole town was de-
stroyed by fire, and 100000 persons left
without shelter. The only buildings
that escaped were the church, theatre,
Tribunal buildings, and the hospital
Many wharves were burned, and all the
sugar ready for shipping was DESTROYED
The fire commenced IN the middle OF the
town, and the wind being very high,
the flames spread in all directions. The
town was rebuilt entirely of wood, after
its destruction by nm earthquake on
February 8, 1913. The fire is supposed
TO have been the work of an incendinry.
Guadeloupe, the most important OF the
French W st India Islands, has at pres
ent population of about 100, 600. 1t IL
of volcanic origin, and is traversed by a
mountain range whose highest summit
is volcano. In that region, the at
mosphere is hot and unhealthy, and
hurricanes are fre. ucnt and destructive.
Point-a-Pitre, or SAINT Louis, the finest
city ON the island, and one time one OF
the finest in the Antilles, seems to have
been subject,d to strange fatality. On
the Sth Of February, 1913, the island
was visited by violent earthquake,
which made sad havoc particularly at
Point-a-Pitre, where goods were dom
aged to the value of SO, 100000, and the
value OF the houses destroyed was S.
600, 600; besides out Of n population of
less than 10000 persons, 1000 persisted
The city was rebuilt, but this time the
houses were constructed of wood to pre-
vent devastation from earthquakes SINH
lar, to that of 1913. In May, 1851, there
was another less ruinous ear hquake.
But the precaution taken against one
destructive force of nature only furnish
eel fuel for another. In 1850 n portion
of the city was laid in ashes by great
fire, supposed to be the work of the
negroes; and accounts are received of
what is almost equivalent to the total de-
structioa of the city by another con-
tagration

An old Burglar.

According to the Hartford Times, Will
son, the murderer, who is to be hanged
on the 18th of October next. is the wick
eldest man in Connecticut. He has writ
ten book of 100 pages entitled
"rhirty- three years in the Life of II
Crack, he says he has broken ont OF
nine State prisons, and that he has com
mitted very large number of burglar
les, two or three hundred we believe
The first of his burglaries was commit
ed in Philadelphia, when he was 10
years old in company with an eXpe-
rienced craftsman. They were to go
halves in the plumber. Entering a jew
elry shop they took watches and jewelry
on which they realized $1,000, and his
half 50, 800 gave him capital to start
with. Since then he has tried his hand
on banks, safes, jewelry and six stores,
in many places. He proposes to continue
the narrative and expose certain receiv
ing shops in New York and other places,
which are kept by men who carry their
heads high in society" Wilson seems to
be quite confident he can take his Own
life at any time. But how he is to do it
is puzzle to those whose eyes are upon
him ut all times. Blood-letting, deadly
poison, choking-all these it is believed,
eau be prevented But still Wilson is
confident that he holds the pulsations of
his own life in the palm of his hand, and
