Victor Hugo has just lost his brother
in-law, NJ. Paul Foucher, well-known
French dramatist and writer Of serials.
lie was buried JAM, 31st, and 1t is char
acteristic of ccrtain spirit Of dignity
and professional pride on the part OF the
French press that his friends were much
panied to find not more than O few hum
dred persons attending his fuperal. The
fact is indeed strange In France, where
so much honor is usually paid by the
people to letters. 1t Is more than balf a
century since Victor Hugo was refused
the hand of Mile. Foucher as being too
poor. But in 1922 the publication of his
"Odes and Ballads" made the parents OF
the young lady proud to receive the poet
into their family. He was the chief
mourner at her brothers funeral. For
the rest am glad to say that he looks
hale and hearty, and all his old conversa-
tional power is in its full vigor.-Paris

The opposition of the Enquirer to the
denomination OF Hon. Geo. W. q. john
ston for Mayor has excited considerable
public curiosity as to the cause Of its
sudden and violent antagonistic attack
upon him. During the past two years OF
his administration that paper has not
tailed TO lend him its support in nearly
all Of his official actions, aud it Is only a
short time since its columns were every
day crowded with notices of his increas-
ing popularity and the mpracticability
of any scheme looking toward his sup
preston.
The sudden change of tune in the organ
during the past few days has excited
considerable comment among politicians
and all who take an interest in watching
the evolutionary movements of the mu-
nicipal political wheel, and still greater
anxiety has been expressed to know the
intentions of His Honor as to becoming
a candidate.
A STAR Reporter met his Honor at
eight O'Clock this morning at the Ham
mOnd street StatiOn-house and proposed
to interview him as TO his candidacy.
The mayor does not particularly like 10
parade himself in the public prints, and
told our representative that his candi-
dacy was a question OF time; that time
must show the fact as TO whethe: the
people OF Cincinnati would to renomin-
ate and re-elect him.
Some of the Mayors friends who were
present declared that his candidacy was
now a tOregone conclusion. That it was
duty that he owed his friends who had
supported him In the past, and who were
ready to support him now in the Conven-
tion, and at the polls.
His Honor said tnat he was in the
hands of the people. Tnat the public did
not understand all the features OF the
case or they would more readily recog-
nize the principle involved in his not
making an active canvass, but waiting
for the people to make it for him, and
then accepting the nomination as VIM
dication of mis- course during tie past
two years of his administration.
81 had not" he said, "any idea of ac-
cepting the nomination if rendered until
u few days ago, and my acceptance has
now only been made possible by the con-
duct of the Enquirer managers. The
parties in charge of that paper want to
force me out Of the Convention, not on
account OF any misdemeanor in Office or
failure to perform my duty, but be-
cause it is their po icy to put in IA man Of
their own choice;' in other words, an
Enquirer candldnle who will be in SYM
pathy with their interests"

Mr.. Orton, President of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, was again
before the Judiciary Committee to-day
Jim the teiegraphic investigation. He
ssaid that the Western Union had refused
10 send dispatches TO the Alta, of San

was in arrears with the company.
The Alta proprietors claim now that
they are better served by the American
Press Association and at cheaper rates.
Mr. Orton said that they had refused to
transmit the specials OF the San Fran
tcisco Herald because that paper had de.
clined to accept their protfered arrange
ment for that purpose.
He said that the Western Union had
never refused to send the dispatches of
the American Press Association on ac-
count of adverse criticism by papers of
that Association.
