PRINCE PLON.PLON,s VIEWS
On the Needs OF the Republic and the Ex.
pulson of the Princes.

PARIS, Feb. 2S.
Prince Jerome Napoleon (Plon. Plon) pub.
fishes letter in which he protests sgsins,
the prescription of the French princes and
insists that such treatment would be unfair.
Bonsparti.ts, he declsred, were defenders o,
the revolution. What the republic requires
to increase its strength and prestige, he says
Is reform of its methods of government. The
expulsion of the princes would tend TO the de.
struction of the republic Prince Napoleon
also takes occasion to critcise the manner in
which the President is chosen. He saws that
the people should be allowed to select their
own chief magistrate, and that the method
which gives the power of selection TO the Ma.
ional Assembly should be abolished.
The princes letter is addressed to the Sem
ate and chamber of deputies, declaring the
oili OF expulsion against princes, is a revival
OF loi des suspecto. ut replaces" says the
writer, Justice by police. 1t confounds Ma
poleon's friends of the revolution"
Prince Napoleon declares that he recog-
nlzes that the republic is the logical outcome
OF universal suffrage, "but," he adds, "the
present republic is a mere oligarchy. 1t ex-
lists by the prosecution of adventures, wasting
public money. and resulting in national iso-
lation and public poverty"
In conclusion the prince exclaims If it
be crime for lover of France to speak out
OF her danger then punish the men,"
The protest has thrilled Paris with genuine
Newspapers are furious over it.
They call it defiance" and demand the prin-
ce's expulsion.

TELEPHONE TROUBLE.
The Indiana Decision about the Wires
Creates Much Excitement.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. %.
Regarding the recent decision of the Indi-
ana Supreme Court as to the charges for tel
ephonic service, to consider which the d-
rectors of the Central Union Telephone Co.
held meeting here Monday, Vice-President
Landerback of that company said, Monday
evening, that the decision had fallen upon
them like thunder clap and it appeared as
though they were in an almost helpless con-
dition. He did not know what could or
would be done. There were about one hun
dred toll stations in Indiana, which barely
covered the royalty to be paid TO the Bell
Company, to say nothing of other expenses.
Secretary Chapman said be thought the COM
panv would have to quit the busines, or con-
tinue at a loss until the injustice of the law
could be shown id the federal courts.
An old member of the board of directors
said there were many things to be considered
before the directors could decide what TO do.
Whichever way they moved they were GER
tain TO lose. They could not continue to
operate the wires in Indiana without serious
loss, and they could not abandon the field be-
cause they were under contract to the Bell
Company. They could not compromise with
the Bell Company, because the contract with
it included valuable territory in Ohio and
other States. The Central Union Telephone
Company controls the wires in the greater
part of Indiana and large share OF Ohio.

Cabinet Meeting.
RAILROAD INVESTIGATION.
Conkling and the Much Wanted Alder
men Absent.

NEW YORK, Feb. %.
Mr. COnkling was not present this morn
ing when the investigation committee was
called to order by Senator Lowe, neither
were the much wanted aldermen, and the
proceedings began without them. Nothing
of startling nature has yet been developed.
1t is reported that Conkling's absence is sig
nificant
President Fashay of the 7th Avenue road
admitted on the stand that An agreement had
been made by which Philadelphia syndicate
was to purchase block of 10000 shares of
the stock While the investigation was going
on, Inspector Byrnes, members of the grand
jury and the district attorney held private
consultation in regard to recent disclosures
that had been made. Interesting develop
ments are hourly expected, though the result
of the conference could not be learned.
At the close Of his testimony, Fashay de-
sired to make statement to the committee
but they declined to hear it. After adjourn
ment, it was given to the press by Bliss that
the statement is general denial of any wrong
doing.
The most important paragraph relating to
the board of aldermen is as follows:
Il had nothing to do directly or indirectly
with any payment to the board of aldermen,
and have no knowledge that any such pay
ments were made, and in saying this | mean
to cover any transfer of money, bids or prop
erty to any of the aldermen"

reported by Morrison from that committee
directing the payment of the surplus in the
treasury exceeding $1,000 900 in liquida-
ton OF the public debt. The report says {:
The effect of the resolution if enacted into
law will be to- reduce the balance in the
treasury available for the payment of the
current Indebtedness and for the redemption
OF legal tender notes to 500, ,OOO, 900 1t
makes no provision for replenishing the
treasury when the available balance shall fall
below 100000 900. The question thus pre-
sented is whether in view of the obligation,
and functions of the treasury, az now defined
by law, the proposed limitation on the bal
ances now held for the meeting of liabilities
payable on demand is prudent and safe in
view of the pledge of the Uuited States to re-
