She Is to Deliver a Series of Lectures in All

New York World.
Louise Michel. the French female agitator is
expected to arrive here in few days for the
purpose of delivering lectures through the coun-
try The French Communists here are making
preparations to give her fitting welcome M.
Louis Mounier, a well-known artist, who PLAYED
a prominent part during the Paris Commune, in
speaking of her coming, said to World reporter
Yesterday:
This rumor of her coming to this country has
long been known to the French refugees, but
why she should come here is certainly mystery
to me- In France there is a wider field for her
Louise Michel did more during the Paris Com
mune than any other member Of it. She is not
what you would call a handsome woman far
from it, but there is powerful magnetism, an
indefnable charm about her that one cannot re-
sist, and after brief conversation with her the
planness of her features is lost sight of in the
charm of her manner and of her mind. She is
coming to this country to lecture on the same
subjects as she has spoken of in France and
those are the publication of society and the bet
terment Of the laboring people"
"Why has she been hooted and Kissed at in
some parts of France, as the cable has reported9"
II dare say the people that Kissed at her were
people who differed with her, and was not an ey-
preston of disapprovaI on the part of the
French people as a nation BY the French peo-
pie Louise Michel is regarded very highly, not
only on account of her life and speeches, but be-
cause of her writings. She has written some
charming books for children and | am sure if
these books were translated and circulated in the
United States, very high estimate of her char
acter would be formed.

in this city, and finally wrote, stating that he
would return home on the Adriatic leaving Liv-
erpoo on March L. On March he sent cable
dispatch, saying he would sail the following day,
as he had arranged.
The detectives have discovered that on the
evening of that day he drove to the depot, in
London, of the Northwestern railway, to take
the train for Liverpool. This is the last trace
of him that has been found. AS he did not ar
rive on the Adriatic. nor on any of the steamers
which left Liverpool during the same week. his
family and friends here became thoroughly
alarmed and employed detectives to search for
him.

Senator Blackburn and some-o of the Kentucky
members of the House made very active effort
TO secure him an appointment to most any thing
that would give him living After several
weeks Of delay and disappointment Black finally

appointed -- TO the vacancy. His appoint

house in the city, with request that he should
come to the Office, report TO the Commissioner

who carried the letter was told at the boarding
house that Mr.. - had not been seen for sew
eral days; that his trunks and clothing were still
there and his board bill remained unpaid, but
that he had mysteriously disappeared.
After waiting several days for him to turn up
another messenger was sent to the House for
Mr.. - to say that his services were desired
immediately. and that Commissioners Black
wanted him to report forthwith for duty. This
messenger received the same answer as the first,
and was told that Mr. - had not made his
appearance, and that they did not know where
he was. His friends who had solicited the APP
pointment for him notified, and a search
was commenced. With the aid of the police 1T

plying the desk of chief of division at the Pen

been boarding at the expense of the government

after him, and found that he had been sent there
under sentence of sixty days Imprisonment for
being drunk and disorderly. His pardon was
very soon procured he was placed in charge of

President Harpster, of Ohio, Looking After
the Interest of the Sheep-Growers.
Washington Special to Cleveland Leader.
David Harpster, president of the Ohio Wool
growers Association, has arrived here for the
purpose of canvassing the members of the
House in the hope that enough will be secured
to vote against the proposition Of the ways and
means committee to put wool upon the free list.
TO your correspondent Mr.. Harpster said that
he was convinced that the committee intended
to do that thing, and If they did, and the bill
should pass Congress, it would be the death
knell Of the sheep and wool industry OF the
country The woolgrowers had been hope
full, he said, that Congress would restore the
old tariff on wool but instead of that they are
met with proposition to utterly wipe out the
duty on the article. The annual product, he
said 300 000, 900 pounds, at average cost in
the hands of the farmer of % cents pound. All
that would be wiped out were such bill as
Morrison proposes to pass. Nearly every State
in the Union would be affected. With free
trade in wool, he said the United States could
not hope to compete with South America and
Australia. Mr.. Harpster called upon Major Nc
Kinley, this morning, and had talk with him
as to the chances of defeating the wool PROPOSE
ton In the committee on ways and means. He
then saw tho Democrats in the Ohio delegation
and had long conference with them upon the
. subject, ana Will meet tnem again In the morn
Ing for the same purpose
Representative L I'll. Taylor. of Ohio, has in
troduced a resolution which is now before the
House committee on printing for the printing OF
ten thousand copies of the report of the Commits
sioner of Agriculture on the international sheep
and wool show held in Philadelphia in 1880. Mr..
Taylor is hopeful that the resolution will pass,
because of the great value of the report to the
many wool growers of the country. The Com
missioner of Agriculture, in speaking of it in his
last annual report. says the work is scientific
Endorsement of the value of American WOOL and
shows clearly that wool can be produced in the
United States equal to that of any country in
the world The report, he also SAID embraced
information which has cost many thousands Of
dollars to procure and tabulate He argues that
the great wool industry is entitled to the infor-
nation which it was the evident intention of
Congress it should have There have been many
calls for the report from all parts of the country.
