States Naval Officer.
PITTsBuRG, Pa, April 11.-Last even
ing Detective Perkins, of the Perkins
Detective Agency, this city, arrested
Ensign Ryan, of the United States
Navy, detailed here to inspect armor
plate at Carnegie's works for the gov
ernment,. and j. FL. Mead, president OF
the Arctic Ice Company, on a charge
the 17-year-old daughter of w.
OF Allegheny. The daughter, Rosa
Parsons, ia leading soprano of North
Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church
choir, one of the most fashionable
churches here. The suit was made by
Mrs. Parsons, who claims to have dis
covered through detectives that her
daughter was induced to GO to New York
so that she would be secured a profess
sion in an operate troupe and supplied
with costumes. She went to Trenton.
N. j., stopped several days there at the
Windsor Hotel under the name
of Mrs. Marshall, and was
joined by Ry n and taken to
New York where she is now secreted In
fat on Broadway. The arrests have
created profound social sensation.
The daughter has been missing for ten
weeks, and the mother has been search
ing for her everywhere, and most
prominent citizens here MS we'll as pas
tors of churches have been interested
in the hunt. The parties were COM
mitted for hearing.
The news of the arrest of Ensign Ryan
caused considerable excitement. Lieut..
Eaton, who is in command here, has
been notified to suspend Ryan pending
the investigation. Ii the charge is sus-
tanned, Lieut.. Eaton says he will be dis
missed from the service. The prisoners
have been held in $4,000 bail.
Ensign Ryan made statement this
afternoon in which he denied that he
had in any way been responsible for
Miss Parsons disappearance. He was
we'll acquainted with the girl, having
frequently met her at the North Avenue
Church. Shortly before she LETT home
she told him she was going on the
stage, and asked him for infor-
Nation concerning certain professional
people in New York. Later he received
letter from her at Baltimore, in which
she detailed her experience. She then
went to New York, and is now stopping
at So Clinton Place. Ryan claims that he
tried to dissuade her from going on the
stage, but she persisted. She assured
him that her parents would not object to
her engaging in that employment, and
said her mother had taught her elocu-

Politics IN FRANCE,
Great Excitement at Meetings of Elect
Ors-BOulange,' Challenge.


Ors-Boulange, Challenge.
PARIS, April 13.-Pol tical meetings
were held at Turcoing and Armentieres,
Department of the Noid, last nj ht, and
in both cases the disorder was so great
that the speakers could not be heard.
At q meeting at Maubeuge, in the same
department. it was unanimously re-
solved to support Gen. Bonlanger. The
party OF the extreme left sought in vain
to secure the adoption of u resolution in
favor of the radical opponent of Gen.
Boulanger.
M. .Spuller, minister of public instruc-
ton In the late cabinet, in an article in
the Republique Franchise. says that
since Gen. Boulanger has declared his
intention to force, a duel with Parlia-
ment, the latter should accept the cha1-
lenge; and since 1t is evident that the
Boulanger agitation is not merely super
fetal or transient, but an organized at
tack upon the country's institutions, it
is the duty of the cabinet to propose to
the chambers for adoption such leeisla-
ton as is necessary for the protection
and defense of the republic.

JAPANESE marine architects have dis
