PARIS, Cor:-La Figaro publishes to-
day a manifesto from Prince Napoleon
claiming the Napoleon inheritance.
This docament is a piece of clever work
and its purpose was to create a popular
feeling in favor of the name of Napo-
leon. The contrary has been the effect.
The manifesto has started a wave of in
dignation through the country, and
citizens are tearing the documents from
the walls.
The manifesto of Prince Napoleon
was at first regarded as a hoax, and
many still doubt its ge%nuineness. The
Figaro has been seized. If the mani
festo is genuine the Prince will be or
dered to quit France, and will be con-
Quoted to the frontier in the event of his
refusal. He was arrested this afternoon
and conducted to the Conceirgerie. In
the Chamber of Deputies tonight the ac-
ton of the government in arresting
Napoleon was opposed by a vote of A
to 80.
A member of the staff of the Temps
interviewed Prince Napoleon to-day on
the subject of his manifesto. The
Prince said he had issued the manifesto
because everything was going wrong in
France. The republic had proved its
incapacity for governing; it had not re-
ceiyed the sanction of the popular vote.
The Republicans, he said, were wrong
in not having resorted to plebiscite a
few years ago, when they would have
secured 10000 0 suffrages. Prince
Napoleon denied that he had any per-
sonal interest in the matter. He wished
the President elected as in the United
States. He said Gambetta had failed to
Undue the government with proper
principles. He disclaimed all desire for
personal power, and ii the Count De-
CEambord were to attempt to seize the
government he, the Prince would shout
der a mus ct like 4 common soldier.
He said, however, that only under a
constitutional government was \ proper
parliamentary regime possible.

COSTLY CALCIUM.
One Of Lights of the Milwaukee Grand Opera
House Explodes.

MILWAUKEE, Jan. 1S.-A distressing
accident occurred at the Grand Opera
House, in this city, tonight. which
though small when compared with the
Newhall House disaster. threatened for
a time to be a worse one. The Grand
Opera House was filled BY an interested
audience, witnessing the presentation of
the Lights o. London The first act
was concluded and the orchestra was
giving a selection, when a terrible ex-
plosion was heard IN the stage and the
curtain was blown to pieces, presenting
to the frightened audience a darkened
room, the lights having all been put out.
A hurried investigation into the matter
showed that n of the cylinders used
in producing the calcium light on the
stage had exploded, and hat half a
dozen men with torn and bleeding bod
les lay writing among the fragments
OF scenery left after the accident. Doc
tors were immediately sent for, and the
audience was quietly dismissed, q panic
being happily averted.
As soon as light could be procured il
was found that three stage employees
were in a dying condition, and two 9TH
ers badly wounded.
The stage presented a horrible sight.
The scenery had been literally torn to
pieces, and blood from the poor victims
was spattered in all directions. Fire
broke out among the scenery immedi-
ately after the explosion, but was
promptly quenched. The large audi
ence was gotten out without an acct
dent. The accident was the result of
e relessness on the part of the man
who had charge of the apparatus.
When the explosion occurred several
of the members of the troupe, with the
stage manager, were standing within
three feet of the apparatus, yet not one
was injured. One stage marker was
thrown twenty feet, and, with the ex-
ccption of having his clothes torn off,
was o M the worse for it. The force
of the explosion was so great that the
door of the stage and two joists, ? by
10 inches, were torn to splinters. The
entire scenery of the stage presents the
appearance of having been fired into
with grapeshot. Those employed
around the Opera House as carpenters
showed great presence of mind as well
as bravery by picking up the other cyl
inder of the machine after the explosion
and going out and sitting ON it in view
of the audience.

Invalid by the supreme Court.

Dies MONIES. Jan l9.-The nrohibi-
tory amendment to the Constitution
adopted by popular vote last June has
been declared iayalid by the Supreme
Court. Judge Sewers rendering the de-
cision. The ease is entitled Kochler
and Lang VS.. Hill, from Davenport.
Plaintiffs sued Hill for the value of beer
sold him. Hill admitted the debt, but
pleaded that the constitutional amend
ment forbade the sale of beer, wine, and
ale, and claimed exemption from the
debt Plaintiffs amended their petition
by declaring that the amendment was
not in force, the records of the House
of the Eighteenth Assembly falling to
show it had passed, and that The House
measure differed from the amendment
as passed BY the Senate 10 form and
substance. Further. that the subse-
quent action in the Nineteenth did not
and could not cure the carelessness of
the Eighteenth Assembly. The cause
was tried by Judge Hay es at Davenport,
who gave a verdict for plaintiffs for the
amount claimed, and declared the
amendment not in operation.
