PARIS, Feb. 22.-Prince jerome Ma

which he protests against the proposed pro-

that such treatment would be unfair. The
BOnapartists. he declares. were defenders
of the revolution. What the republic re-
quires TO increase its strength and prestige,
he says, is reforms Of its methods of govern
ment. The expulsion of the princes would
tend 10 the destruction of the republic.
Prince Napoleon also takes occasion 10 crit
icise the manner in which the president is
chosen. He says the people should be al
lowed to elect their own chief magistrate.
and that the method which gives the power
OF selection TO the national assembly should
be abolished.
The princes letter is addressed to the
senate and chamber of deputies. lt de-
clares the bill of expulsion is against the

LONDON, Feb. 23.-Joseph Chamberlain.
president of the local government board, was
visited to-day by a deputation of unem-
plOyed workingmen who stated their griev-
ances and asked what the government
meant TO do 10 relieve their prevailing dis
treSs. Chamberlain deprecated riots and all
similar forms of disturbance to manifest
needs of help. He said he was opposed to
emigration rs means of relief unless the dis
treSS was chronic. This opposition was
based on many grounds, not the least of
which was the fact that the colonies would
refuse to welcome large numbers of paupers.
because. among other reasons, their influx
would cheaper the labor market. Cham
beTlain added he hoped the government
would soon be able to establish the British
labOrer upon the soil he TILED. Pending the
accomplishment of this he would not cease

He Deserved the Whipping.

ST.. LOUIS, Feb. 23.-About 7:30 last
venng in front of the residence of ex-
Councilman James Garvin, on Chestnut
street, the somewhat unusual and rather
startling spectacle was presented of young
man being hOrsewhipped by an enraged
young lady. The arms of the youth upon
whom the punishment was being inflicted
were held tightly behind him by "a somewhat
smaller but extremely muscular boy. The
young lady was Miss Ella Garvin; the young
man Harry NJ. Snyder, buyer for the K.
VI. Rumsey Manufacturing company, and
the boy. who was interfering with the
efforts of Mr.. Snyder to escape from the
blows of the horsewhip, which were falling
thickiy and heavily upon his face, head and
shoulders. was Arthur, the twelye-year-Old
brother of the young lady. After short
struggle Snyder broke away and started TO
run, but was met just as he was stepping
on to the sidewalk by friend of the young
lady and he was again caught and held and
suffered a still more severe punishment from
the whip in the hands of the young lady.
Miss Garvin gives the following concise
statement of the affair:
He insulted me, so | walked into the house,
and Just happened to see that new buggy
whip, and Ipicked il up and went TO the front
door and told him to apologize. He said he
wouldn't, and l whipped him. ! think gave
him q pretty good hOrse-whipping, and am
glad of it, except that broke the whip.

ROCHEFoRT, Mo-, Feb. 23.-Mr. d. c..
Benton. a prominent man of this city, left
here yesterday morning for the bar above
town to shoot ducks. About ? o'clock a
man was seen floating down the river on a
cake Of ice. and was recognized as Barton
by Mr.. Z. J. White, who also was cunning.
He asked Barton what was the matter.
Barton told him tbat he had gotten on the
ice and could not get ashore, asking White
to get pole and pull him ashore. White
ran for a pole and while gone Mr.. Barton
disappeared and was seen no more. The
suppOstion is that having killed duck he
ventured too near the waters edge 10 pro-
cure his game, and the ice giving way
carried him out into the river, and while
Mr. White was going for assistance, the ice
gave way and, being unable to swim, he
sank beneath the water and was lost. Mr..

closed, and was fearfully battered on the
right cheek. The other had his lip cut and
his nose battered nearly to jelly. Which
gentleman the lady will accept is not known,
but it is rumOred that the affair is likely to
ba settled with DistOlS
