AN EYE ON THE COMMUNE.
The Prefect of the Seine to Dwell
In the Hotel de Vile.

The Prefect of the Seine to Dwell
in the Hotel de Vile.
PARIS, Jan. 16.-In the Chamber of
Deputies to-day NJ. Sarrien, Minister of the
Interior, replying to an Interpolation, re-
futed charges that the Paris Municipal Coun-
Gil had been guilty of organizing a revolt
during the recent Presidential crisis. He
read a report from the Prefect of Police
showing the precautions TO prevent
rising taken by the Prefecture of
the Seine and said that the government be-
ing desrous Of insuring respect.for the law
had decided to impose upon the Municipal
Council the duty Of providing a residence
for the Prefect of the Seine in the Hotel do
Vile. NJ. Sarrien concludedIby intimating
that he would promote a special bill INSTALL
ing the Prefect of the Seine in the Hotel de
Vile and that he would ask urgency for it.
NOT REQUIRED.
NJ. Waldreck Rousseau held that the bill
was not required, as the government had
absolute right to establish the Prefect in the
Hotel de Vile without consulting the Cham
Der.
M. Goblet said that the bill might have
the support of the Republican minority and
the Right. The campaign, he said, seemed
to be proceeding toward dissolution
of the Chamber without hope Of
securing for these sections any adj
vantage under the new elections.
NJ. Tirard, Prime Minister, Indignantly
denied the suggestion that the Ministry had
formed an alliance with the Right. The
government wished TO stand only by the
support of the Republican majority. Irri-
tating questions, he said, were as far as pos
slbe eliminated from the government pro-
gramme. The action of the Paris Municipal
Council might justify the dissolution of that
body, but there was quieter policy-to in
stall the Frefect Of the Seine in the Hotel de
Vile to watch over the order Of Paris.
An order of the day, implying confidence
in the government, was carried by vote of.

The Quarterly Whipping of Convicts
Takes Place at New Castle - Five
Men Larruped.
WILMINGTON, DEL, May 15.-The quar-
\ terly whipping of cOnvicts took place at
New Castle in miserable, drizzling rain.
| Five men were lashed and two stood in the
pillory for one hour. The number of spec
tators was about one hundred, half of them
being boys under twelve years. The num-
| Der of victims under the Sheriff's cat which
has thongs twenty-seven inches long, was
unusually small, and this was noteworthy
fact.
Owen Dougherty. aged eighteen, white.
was the first man whipped. He received
five blows for stealing with two brothers, a
quantity of rubber hose His back was the
color of a boiled lobster when he was taken
back to his cell. His brother, Patrick,
aged twenty-four, followed, and received
the same punishment. He laughed as the
| Sheriff Redeemed his back, and left the post
with a grin.
James Murray, aged eighteen, saucy
looking darkey. laughed aloud as the Sheriff
gave him five lashes for stealing fifty two
cent cigars. James Darius, gray-bearded
darkey, aged sixty, received live cuts for
stealing set of harness worth 81 He reyer
fiinched as the thongs hit his back. and ran
nimblY back into the Jail. The fifth victim
was John Pierce, a slim white man of thirty
who took thirty lashes for burglary. His
back was covered with red corrugations
from the waist TO the shoulders He did
not move from his position at the post, but
his legs quivered violently. The Sheriff
whipped gently.
Pierce and Henry L. Haynes. white, con-
victed of swindling grocers, were placed in
the pillory for one hour. The atmosphere
was close. and the men. who were covered
with blankets, were soaking wet from per-
spiration and the heavy drizzle. When

DULUTH HOLDS THE KEY
To the Wheat situation-1mportant De.
velopments in the Market, and Active
Operations of the Bears.

DULUTH, MINI, May l5.-Developments
| in. the wheat sitnstion at Dnluth, Last week,
have been of an unusually interesting and
important character, and Duluth seems to
be attracting mora attention than ever be-
fore. This is due to the fact that the pros
poets of winter wheath0re poor and Duluth,
with over 5000. 900 bushels in store, has
nearly one-third of the total visible supply
ef the country. The past week the repre-
sentatives of half dozen leading New
York exporting firms have been here and
it is reported that all or nearly all have
been buying wheat. They include such
well known men as J. L. Gill. Z. Banley,
of Rice Quinby & Co.; William II. Wall
loee, +. V. Dare, of the New York house of
Armour, Plsnkinton & Co., and Others,
and all are eagerly watching the situation,
which is intensified by the fact that of the
5000, 900 bushels here, one-half is held by
carriers and is practically out of the mar
ket and 4,OO0, 900 bushels of the remainder
is in the hands OF shippers to go TO New
York.
The New, York men interviewed on the
question all talk bear;sh. They say that
later reports from the winter wheat Sec
tions than those which were made the basis
of the late Government crop report, show
Improvements, and that the prospects in
the northwest for big yield are excellent;
that the flour market is oyerdone and Min
neapelis mills cannot run much longer at
their present rate, but will largely cut
down the production; while the country
elevator companies acknowledge to 8,0OO,-
600 still in their houses, and that as soon as
the production of -four drops off, this
wheat will flow to Duluth and that now
held by carriers will be forced on the mar
ket
This view is not taken by any of the big
aouses here, such as A. J. Sawyer, Dunn,
Thompson & Owen and Ferguson & Co.
Reports come from Minneapolis that only
two mills have a supply of wheat and that
Others are picking it up where they
can, with the result that cash wheat is all
being taken at a heavy premium. The re-
suit here is that there is an unusual do
msnd for wheat, and orders from the out
side seem to show that Duluth holds the
key to the wheat situation just now. One
Chicago firm bought nearly 500, 900 bushels
by Saturday. Few holders care to let go
of their wheat and the market is in tense
condition. After Monday stocks are eX-
pected to decrease rapidly, and after few
weeks all the wheat left here VIII be in the
hands of carriers, holding Tor elevator
charges.
