French consul, had been necessarily pressing
him for over year to accept French
protectorate The Bey theoretically informed
the interviewer that apart from treaties with

Kroumie district. He said no was in a

There was therefore no show of excuse for
the French invading his territory, importing
internal peace and safety of Europeans. He
had no quarrel with France; no wonld always

induce him to allow his territory
to be occupied without protest. He would
not make any armed resistance, but would
remain at his post to maintain order and
public security. He must he said, leave bill

How will She Pay?

Boston, Mass, April 26.-In the Howe
Ladies' Deposit trial Mr.. Augustus Russ, the
assignee in insolvency appointed by the Pro-
bate court, testified that Mrs. Howe, after
her incarceration, told him that if she got
out of Jail she wou'i pay everybody off,
though not all at one time. She said she was
not at liberty to disclose the means whereby
she could accomplish this. Mr.. Russ told her
that there were about 1000 depositors, and
that to pay them oil would require about
$500 600. He could only find property
worth about 500, 900, and if she had any
means by which to make up tho deficiency
she ought to tell. She repeated her state.
ment that she was under oath not to tell the
means, but that if she could get out of jail
they would all be paid off in the end.

Kick Against tue Sale Of Liquor
Along lhe Line.
DR.. Fitzhugh of Fort Worth, who was
arrested by the U, S. authorities and brought
TO this city, was arraigned before U. S. com-
missioner Burford yesterday, to answer to
the charge of selling liquor without license
The court took his own personal recogoiz-
sdce to appear before the Federal court. 1t
appears that DR.. Fitzhugh has an agent who
is running y sal ,on for him, moviRg il along
with the extension Of tbs road. He had
license 10 sell at point near Colorado river,
and when the road pushed OF he applied to
collector Ludlow of the 3rl district, for a
transfer of license to Big Springs, which
was granted the first of March 1881. After
this, In order to keep constantly at the head
of the extension, he sgsin applied to have his
license transferred indefinitely that he might
keep constant pace with the extension, but
the collecto. wrote him that 1t could not De
granted, yet notwithstanding this 1t seems the
saloon was moved to Colts camp, near
section Bill, where the ardent was dealt out
without the proper license to authorize Its
sale. On learning this Collector Ludlow
ordered the arrest Of DR.. Fitzhugh. Whether
or not the saloon WAS moved AT the instance
of Dr.. Fitzhugh remains to DO seen.
Asa rule the contractors along the line
are very much opposed to liquor being
sold aud make it business to watch and
report any discrepancies on the part Of
ssloonists who may violate the revenue laws.
