The French Ministry Resign.

PARIS, Feb. 1.-THE chamber of dep.
uties was crowded to-day. The prince. of
Wales and Lord LyttoD. British ambassa-
dor, occupied seats in the diplomatic gal
lery. Baron Mackin, president of the
Right, desired a complete revision as well
as a dissolution of the chamber.
Premier Floquet refused to entertain
the motion, stating that the government
could not consent to dissolve the cham
Der.
Baron Mackins motion was rejected,
375 to l73.
Count De Doville MalIiefew, in moving
indefinite postponement of the revision
debate, said: The electional period viz
tually begins to day. Let us leave to the
people the duty OF indicating what kind
of revision they desire. Let us not lose
time in discussing the question that is in
no wise definite. Instead of pursuing a
policy OF egotism, let us return to a policy
of common sense.
Floquet in replying reminded the
house that the government was pleged to
make the revision proposal the immediate
order of the day after the scrutin d'arron.
disement bill. At the conclusion of
Floquet remarks a division was taken
and Count De Doville Mathews motion
was adopted 3O7 to 2lS.

morrow will publish a long dispatch from
Washington giving an eulogistlc review
of President Cleveland's administration
and a long interview with the president
himself on the incidents and experiences
of the past four years. The Sun declares

LIE Caron a Liar and a Traitor.


PHILADELPHIA, Feb. l4.-Powderly

of the worst type and unworthy of ere
dence. Powderly exhibits a letter sent
him by LIE Caron during the strike of
engineers on the Missouri Pacific roads

him into a conspiracy, and LIE Caron de-
clared that the only solution was dynamite.
and asked Powderly to give him names of
his trusted lieutenants and while Powderly
was pretending to counsel peaceful meas
ures, lie Caron would furnish his lieuten-
ants materials for destruction of every
bridge and culvert on the line. PUwderly
warned the strikers to have nothing to do
with lie Carou, Powderly has sent a
copy of this letter to Michael Davitt with
a letter of his own in which he declares
lie Caron's statements about the dyna-
mite influence at the league conventions
in this country untrue.

lie Caron that he carried a message from
Parnell to Dewey is false. Dewey declares

The CHAMBER OF Torture

is the apartment to which the unhappy
sufferer from infiammatory rheumatism is
confined. If, ere the crisis is reached,
that fine preventive, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, is used by persons of a rheumatic
tendency, much unnecessary suffering is
avoided. Nervines, anodynes and seda-
tives, while having none but a specific
effect, are yet very desirable at times.
Yet can they produce no lasting effect
upon rheumatism. because they have no
power to eliminate from the blood the
rheumatic virus. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters does this, and checks at the outset
a disease which, if allowed to gain head
way, it is next to impossible to dislodge
or to do more than relieve. Rheumatism,
it should be remembered, is a disease with
a fatal tendency from its proneness to
attack the heart. A resort to the Bitters
should, therefore, be prompt. Dyspepsia,
kidney complaint, malaria and nervous
ness are relieved by it.

that Parneil did not know that Byrne was

country, where the people considered The
