An Interview with Louise Michel.

PARIS, April D.
Louise Michel has been interviewed inher
cell in the prison of Lazare. She was
asked:
"What was your object in remaining in
hiding in this city until last Friday night?
Was it that you were afraid of arrestp"
"Afraid!" exclaimed the female Com
munist 81 am afraid of nothing that the
police or their masters can do. My life is
pledged to my work, and whenever it is
necessary that it shall be sacrificed, / am
ready, but l do not mean that it
shall be sacrificed in vain. My friends dis
suaded me from presenting myself, as
had intended to do long ago, because they
said my liberty was necessary for the work
of the party"
"What caused you to change your mind
and give yourself up to the police?'
cit was solely on account of my mother.
1t was killing her to be bounded from one
lodging to another and to be dogged by
spies whenever she set foot on the street.
There were many different spies, and they
were in many different kinds of dress, but
there were always spies and spies and spies.
1 could not bear it, and 1 came here"
But you are not credited in the general
estimation with having much to do with
tender feelings"
"No. That is more of the injustice that
woman finds when she has the courage of
her convictions. But you can tell your
American readers, for they are true men,
that French women have shown many times
that they can be brave, and they can
love. A tigress is brave, but she loves her
cubs.''
If you are acquitted of the charge on
which you are now held, what will you dc
next?"
Then l will leave France and. preach
the social crusade from abroad. l do not
see why Princes should have the monopoly
of conspiring against the Government from
foreign lands.",
"Then you regard your work as con.
spiracy against the established order OF
things?"
Certainly do, and that conspiracy is le-
| gitimate 1t is a conspiracy of the op.
pressed against the oppressors. Believe me-
the definitive triumph of the cause serve is
but a question of few months-I might
almost say days. The economical crisis
which is drawing near will shake the old
tri-color world with such irresistible force
that it will fall, and over its ruins the red
| flag will be seen waving"

Narrow Escape Of a Rescuing Party in
the Diamond Mine.

BRAIDwoOD, ILL, April 1.
At the Diamond Mine there was a scene of eI-
citement to-day. The fact that the bodies discoE-
cred were to be brought out drew a large crowd,
and when at about o'clock news was brought up
that the party who had gone down after the bodies
had been imprisoned in the roadway while
putting bodies in cofins, the exc tement on
top was intense, and the wives and relatives
of the men were wild with grief the
prospective death Of their friends. A party
was at once sent IN search for them. When the
second party had nearly reached the point where
the bodies were discovered hoy found that q large
pile of stone had caved in blocked up the mar
row passageway. The prisoners were soon dug out
and liberated from their dusky prison. One Of the
men was so prostrated that he had to be carried
home The rescued party, when they reached the
top, said they would never g, in again. Other
searchers who had been working there say
they will not go down again. 1t is thought
NO further search will be made, DO be
found willing to 60 down. The bodies were taken
out about o'clock and placed in the morgue where
the crowd passed through and viewed them. they
