A London cablegram says: Ross
Winans, the millionaire Baltimorean,
who owns large slice of Scotland,
and whose prosecutions of the pea
santry made him the most hated
man, is in trouble. He recently
prevented three excise officers from
searching through his extensive deer
forests for illicit whiskey stills. This
defiance of the crown officials led
large party of excisemen to assem-
BILE, and the forest of Winans is
now patrolled all over.
1t is rumored in Madrid that II
marriage is to be contracted between

THE FRENCH ELECTIONS.
Careful calculations show the
Conservatives will number about 210
in the new French Chamber, Clemen-
ceau's party 1924, and the Republic
cans of other shades $50. Clemen-
ceau's position. therefore, will be
somewhat like Parnell's in the Eng
lish Parliament. BY uniting upon
any important division with either
party he may turn the scale as he
likes.
French special cables concur in
representing that the Conservative
success at the recent elections signi.
fies not so much the desire of the
country for monarchical or imperial
restoration, as widespread discou-
tent with the bad administration of
the past five years. The returns
show that nearly one-half the cleo
tors of France voted the Conserva-
tive ticket. 1t is asserted that but
a very small portion meant to eX-
press a preference for monarchical
form of Government, but they
thought of the war against the
clergy begun by NJ. Ferry, and
likely to be continued with renewed
vigor. They shrunk from the
threatened income tax, from the
separation talked of between church
and state, and from all violent and
revolutionary measures likely short
ly TO follow the possible advent to
power of the Radicals. The eX-
,remc Radicals are numerically a
very small fraction. Their total
vote, without counting their strength
in Paris, was but 500, 900, but they
are very ambitious, violent and self.
asserting. The country is thoroughly
afraid of them. M. Brisson, Pre-
mier, in answering u congratulatory
address on his reelection to sea
in the Chamber of Deputies, sait
the Conservative gains cannot shak,
the confidence of the Republicans
who will have $50 majority in TIN
Lower Chamber. He declared tina
the Monarchists desired the over
throw Of the republic, and woult
cause revolution in an attempt tt
secure that end. Neither Republi
cans nor Monarchists desire wa

can assure peace at home.
