Bonts That Were Out Inst Nlght-De
scription OF the Mcrchanis' Cup.

Boats That Were Out Last Nlght-De-
scription OF the Merchants Cup.
Messrs. Gait Il Bro. were yesterday fur
nished with the design for the merchants
cup for the Potomac river regatta, and will
begin it at once. This will be the finest cup
ever rowcd for in this country. 1t will stand
twenty-five inches high on an ebony base,
and will be antique in shape. On one side of
the base will be II gold shield bearing the in
scription, Presented by the merchants of
Washington, ID. C., for the Potomac river
regatta and OH the reverse IL similar shield
on which the winning crew Will
have their names inscribed. On
the body OF the cup are four female figures
in relief, each bearing an oar, while around
and about graceful vines and flowers are en-
twiued. The same firm have now under
way nearly all the cups and badges, which
as soon as completed will be placed on ex-
hibition in their windows
The secretary of the joint committee on
the regatta is receiving inquiries nearly
every day from boating organizations through
out the country, and the outlook for large
attendance of visiting crews is very promis-
ing.
Perley, formerly of the Columbias hut now
of the Analostans, very promising Junior
scullcr has lost his chance OF getting medal
by having changed his club within three
months OF the race.
All three of the clubs were we'll represented
on the river last evening, the Columbias hav-
ing out the eight, two tours the pair-oarod,
and two singles; the Analostans two fours
aud q single, and the Potomacs the eight,
three fours, three singles, and party up the
river in the -oared barge.
The AnalOstan four went up the river yes
terday afternoon with fast and beautiful
stroke, attracting much attention from the
balconies of the boat houses.
Mckinney, of the Potomacs, has laid down
his sculs and taken up sweep. He will
probably be in the four and eight.
1t is stated that Baker, one of the Poto'
macs Lynchburg crew, finds that he will not
be able to take part in the coming regatta
If this is SO it is much to be regretted.

A GRAND CONSPIRACY.


LONDON, January 20.-A Paris dispatch
says it Is perfectly true that Baron De
Charette, aided by NJ. Baurdry DAsSOn, a
member OF the Chamber Of Deputies for
Laycndee, and others, has organized from
Finsterre to Tours thrty-two legions OF
1000 men each, and has begun to arm
them. Six hundred horses have been pur-
chased as a nucleus for the insurgent cav
airy. and are stationed at different chateauX.
Recruits wear n small cross rs a rallying
signal. l. is stated that the cOnspirat0rs
have 100000 francs in the banks in Lon
don. This is no canard. but the result Of
Government inquiry. The police report
as certain that the Baron De Charette has
in Paris 1900 pontilical Zouayes fully
armed.
DEALING WITH THE PRETENDERS.
PARIS, January 2O.-The ministerial bill
dealing with pretendcrs has been intro
duced in the Chamber OF Deputies. IL au-
thorizes the President OF the republic, by
decree given in council, to eXpel members
of former reignng families whose presence
in France should compromise the safety OF
the State, those returning to be liable to
five years in prison. The princes who now
serve in the army are to be placed on the
retired list. This last clause caused an
uproar in the Chamber.
Another bill has been introduced mOdi-
fying the press laws OF 1881. II provides
for the punishment OF OutrageS against the
republic, and makes offenders amenable TO
the correctional tribunals. 4 vote OF ur-
gency was also adopted Tor these measures.
The committee on them, and on the motions
of Ballue and Floquel, will be appointed
on Tuesday.
PROTEST AGAINST "PLON-PL0N'S" ARREST.
PARIS, January 20-The BonapaItists
members OF the Chamber OF Deputies have
issued Il protest against the arrest OF
Prince Napoleon, and demand an appeal to
the people.
The Chamber Of Deputies, by 407 TO %,
has voted urgency for the motion made by
NJ. Balue to strike the names Of Orleans
Princes from the army list. The Ministry
agreed to the urgency.
THE CONVICTED ANARCHISTS AND THEIR
WIVES.
Lyons, January 20.-When the sentences
were pronounced against the convicted
Anarchists yesterday the wives OF the
prisoners uttered shrieks Of despair, and
tried TO fling themselves into their hus-
bands arms. They were kept back by the
soldiers i'm attendance on the court. The
Princess Krapolkine left the courtroom
leaning on the arm OF Louise Michel. the
communist. Louise Michel subsequently
delivered a lecture IN behalf Of the fami-
lies OF the prisoners.
INDECENT ATTACK on THE EX-EMPREss Ell
GENIE.
BERLIN, January 20.-The pamphlet at
lacking the ex-Emprcss Eugene, OF
France, and which was coniiscated by the
police, is immoral. 1t purports to be re-
cital Of incidents in the private life OF the
eX-Empress.

But this was more than Freddie could
