whom he accused Of having engaged In
doubtful transactions, while acting as presi-

and ended by calling him fraudulent min

Chamber, and the speaker formally censured
M. Laguerre for his utterances.
M. Constans made an indignant denial Of
the charges and retorted upon NJ. Laguerre
by saying that nobody quite knew where

RESIGNED JUST AFTER REELECTION.
Jonathan Chace who ReIlnquIshes

WASHINGTON, March 17.-The resignation
of Jonathan Chace as member of the
United States Senate is in the hands of the
Governor of Rhode Island. 1t is not often
that Senator resigns his seat in the Senate;
1t certainly is an occurrence without prece-
dent when he resigns it just after having
been reelected by the unanimous vote of
the members of his party in the legislature
of his State, and ten days only after having
entered upon his second term of six years.
And yet this is precisely what Mr.. Chace
has done. He lays down the Office today
without regret, except that caused by the
severance of many pleasant ties of friend
ship formed among his colleagues. He re-
turns to private life with the consciousness
of duty well performed, followed by the
best wishes of his associates, loved and es-
teemed by every one with whom he was
brought in contact during his stay in Wash
ingt0n.
Of the motives which prompted Mr.. Chace
to take this step it IS perhaps not necessary
to say anything further than that there were
a number OF reasons, any one of which was
probably sufficient to satisfy Mr. IChace
OF the wisdom Of his course. but which, for
the present, he does not care to discuss A
delicate constitution, the desire to attend to
his business Interests, which have suffered of
late by reason of his unwillingness to absent
himself from his post in Washington, and
other motives have variously been as
signed him. None, by itself, is entirely cor
rect; and yet, taken altogether, they may
contain the true reason which impelled Mr..
Chace to lay down voluntarily one of the
greatest offices In this country.
Senator Chace's political career covered
two terms, in 1876 and 1877 in the Rhode Is
land State Senate, two terms in the House of
Representatives, and would have covered
two terms in the Senate if he had chosen to
serve out his present term which was to end
in 1885, He was elected to the United States
Senate as the successor of the late Henry b.
Anthony and took his seat on January &c.
1885. He is not yet sixty years of age and is
a cotton manufacturer. He is the only Qua
ker who ever sat In the Senate.
1t is Senator Chace's intention to announce
formally his resignation to the Senate on
Monday next The only recent case of SEN
ator resigning his seat was that of General
Gordon, of Georgia, who left the Senate in
1883 to accept employment by railway cor
poration. which promised greater financial
returns than a senatorship in the United
States.

To Avert Liquidation.


PARIS, March 17.-At a meeting of the di-
rectors Of the Bank of France it was decided
to make an additional advance of twenty
million francs on condition that similar
sum be subscribed elsewhere, in order to
avert judicial liquidation of the Compton
D'Escoptes affairs. The Rothschilds sub
scribed three million francs, the Credit FOn-
cier two millions. and subscriptions Of other
houses will bring the aggregate to Sc million
francs. The remaining four million francs
are certain to be subscribed.
The Economist Francais states the Comp
toir D'Escompte was not bound by any of its
engagements with the copper mines and its
participation In the copper syndicate, and
may be repudiated as contrary to its statutes.

Views of the mohonk Conference on
Indian Education.
LAKE MoHoNK, N. Y, Oct. AT the
Mohonk Indian conference this morning
DR.. Lyman Abbott, chairman of the COM
mittee on resolutions, reported the annual
platform. The chief interest conferred in the
utterance in relation to the contract church
schools ON the reservations. Tho platform
reafirms previous utterances. and approves
the general plan outlined by Commissioner
Morgan for comprehensive and compulsory
education by the government in harmonious
concurrence with the work of the churches
and philanthropio societies. This was &C.
cepted by all sides. Another plank asserts
that as the high character of those engaged
in the work of Iudian education and the per-
manence of their tenure of Office are essential
to substantial progress, this conference
emphasizes the necessity of separating abso-
lutely the appointments to such Offices from
the mutations of parties.
At the opening of the evening session Mr..
a. o. Houghton, of Boston, told the remark.
able story of Mr.. Duncan and the Metlakarpa
tribe, who recently emigrated. Ae told also
of the recent reduction Of their saw-mill by

Mr.. Houghton said few friends in Boston
have raised about 5000 to help them. Mr..
Houghton then read letter from DR.. Phil
lips Brooks and q resolution of sympathy
and encouragement for Mr.. Duncan was
adopted.
Miss Robertson, missionary among the
Creeks of the Indian territory, spoke Of the
condition of affairs In that country and of
the necessity of bringing these Indians into

full protection of American laws. A resolu-
ton expressing the voice of the conference on

breakfasts breeze sprang up and the fog
disappeared, leaving the blue sky and sun
shine in its place.
Breakfast over, the members of the excur-
sion party enjoyed a social chat while burn
ing their "Havanas" and watching the fog
blow away.
At Q o'clock the party entered carriages
and started on an inspection tour of the mil
itary academy. The gymnasium lecture hall,
riding hall, dormitories and other buildings
were visited. The party was then driven to
the parade ground, where the cavalry drill
was witnessed. Some of the movments were
heartily applauded.
Exhibitions of leaping on and off a run
from the side of horse going at full speed
and bare back riding were given.
The riding exercises lasted over an hour.

commandant and officers of the academy for
the attention shown them, and said that
what they saw during their visit was far be-
yond their expectations.

were driven to the pier, where boats were in
waiting to convey the delegates on board
