BOOM FOR GOvERNOR RUsK.
Pushing Him for Secretary Of War,
Alger Being Out Of the Way.

Another and more vigorous ''boom" for
Governor Rusk. Of Wisconsin. for Secretary of
War in the next administration has been started
within the past twenty-four hours, and BY to-
morrow night Senator spooner will be on his
way to Indianapolis for the second time to urge
upon the President-elect the fitness of Mr..
Rusk for the War portfolio. The new ssboom''
was caused by the receipt of letter by Sem
ator Stockbridge from Gen. Alger, in which he
stated most emphatically that he was not and
would not be candidate for cabinet honors.
This speedily reached Mr.. spooner's ears and
1t lifted great load off his mind. He had
always regarded Alger as Rusk's most powerful
rival, and when he received positive assurances
to the contrary he concluded to go at once to
Indianapolis and clinch the matter.

CROSS-EXAMINING LIE CARON.
He Says that Parnell Startled Him by q
Revolutionary Remark.

LONDON, Feb. 12.-The crosse Examination of
lie Caron, the witness for the Times, was con-
tinued upon the resumption of the sitting of
the Parnell commission to-day. He said he had
visited Europe five times since 1867, some
times IN professional capacity and sometimes
unprofessionally. He reported himself to the
authorities on each occasion except in 1867.
Neither Mr.. OKelly nor Mr.. Parnell had
ever written to him. The Fenians expelled Mr..
OKelley. witness said. because he had joined
with Mr.. Parnell in the open movement.
OLeary denounced Mr.. O'Kelley. Witness
believed that O'Leary was a violent opponent
OF the league. Continuing, witness said
HE DELIVERED SEALED PACKETS
from Messrs. Dewey and OLeary to Mr.. Egan
in Paris in 1881. and acknowledged that the
security of the seals alone prevented him from
opening the packets. He again saw Mr.. Egan
in America in 1888. Later MIR. Egan introduced
him to Mr.. Parnell in the lobby of the house of
commons. He conversed with Parnell. and was
complimented by him on his work The Irish
republican brotherhood was then opposing Mr..
Parnell so far as the home organization was
concerned Mr.. Parnell complained of this
opposition, and said that the home and sister
organization would have been crippled had
they not obtained assistance from America.
PARNELL's ALLEGED REVOLUTIONARY TALK.
At Mr.. Parnell's request the witness saw
Dewey and Sullivan and two others in
America. He did not write the result of
his conversations with these men to Mr..
Parnell. because he had not been requested
to. Moreover, Egan had instructed witness
to write to him. Witness converse
tons with Parnell had no reference to Egan.
The most important part of Mr.. Parnell's con-
versation concerned his views as a revolution
list. He declared that he did not see why an
instruction should be unsuccessful Witness
had heard this before from Egan, but coming
from Mr.. Parnen it startled him.
Sir Charles RUSSELL counsel for the Parnell-
ties, and Sir Henry James, counsel for the
Times, here announced that they had agreed
not to produce the documents which were the
subject Of discussion on Friday last.
HIS SACRIFICES FOR HIS COUNTRY.
The government paid witness 1900 pounds
between February, 1868, and August. 1870 He
spent every cent of this for public purposes
For instance, he todX John ONeills l. o. u.
for 70 pounds to save his reputation and to keep
him from becoming a defaulter. This action
gave witness a strong hold upon O'Neill. He
had spent more than he had received in the
public service. He had made no arrangements
for future reward The V. C. organization
which numbered 90 600 members, deliberately
and knowingly supported the dynamite policy.
In the convention of 1881 1872 of the dele
gates present favored the use of dynamite
The convention held in Madison Square gar
den, New York. in 1884, advocated the dyna-
mite policy. Sullivan, Lomasney. Cronan.
Smythe, Canton. Hick, Furlong, and Crane
were present at that convention.

tween the United States and the republics Of

To-day Nina Wright de Potestad, by Messrs.
W. V. r. Berry and II. Wise Garnet, fled .
suit against Charles A de Chambrun TO recover
sl614. The accompanying affidavit states that
affiant first met the Marquis de Chambrun in
1886 in an apartment house, 14ls I street, and
in October of that year her husband died, and
the marquis called upon her and her mother,
showing every mark of sympathy, and during
the winter his visits were almost daily. In
November, 1856, she gave him a check for
1913 70 have cashed and paid her. The check
was left by her husband and she states that
the Marquis told her that she would have 70
be appointed administrator, and he took her
to the courthouse and she was 90 appointed
She says that the defendant
NEVER PAID HER THE MONEY,
and claimed that the delay was because the
check was on a London house; but she learned
that he had had il cashed. She states further
that she intrusted him with the payment of
$1,000 due on houses built at HOS and HOS
18th street, and he then told her that ucless
she had vouchers showing that the sui
contractors were paid that liens might be
placed on the houses, and he would charge her
nothing for his personal services 70 attend 20
this She states that in March, 1887. she sent
defendant a check for S2.5O0. and sailed for
France, and when her mother joined her in the
fall she brought word that her bills had all
been paid. The marquis, however, shortly
afterward applied for Sl,250 20 paw
liens. She found that the $500 paid
De Chambrun was charged against her.
He also urged her to sign power Of attorney,

1883. She found her affairs in disorder, the
interest on the mortgage notes overdue, and
failed to obtain a settlement with him, but.
through Mr.. Berry, she finally obtained a state
ment showing a balance in her favor Of
