speeches in the English Commons yester-
day. He discussed the Irish question, and
was pitiless in his denunciation of the Gov

temperate speech, in which he showed that
the mass of the voters were becoming favor

Mr.. Gladstone, and would, by their ballots,

ESCAPE OF A DEFAULTER.
A Dishonest Probate Judge Eludes the officers
and Escapes to New South Wales.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, March ia man was
arrested at Helena, NJ. T., March s. on strong
suspicion of being Lyman d. Follett,
ex-judge of probate of Kent county, Mich
igan. Judge Follett was one of the most
prominent Democrats of Grand Rapids. He
was Probate Judge of Kent county until
April of last year, when he created great
sensation by decamping, taking with him
money to the amount of S40,O 900, which
was IN his keeping as Judge of pro-
bate. He also borrowed large sums
from every one around town and forged
the name of the present Judge to a check
He falsified records and deeds in the most
reckless manner. and, after his departure, q
reward of 81 900 was offered for his capture.
He was traced TO New York, but eluded the
detectives there and went TO New Orleans,
taking steamer there for Honduras. where
After while he was lost sight of. Some
months ago man in Helena NJ. r., aroused
the suspicious Of the detectives there by
his striking resemblance to Judge
Follett. He was arrested, and
a picture sent TO Grand Rapids
was recognized by his wife. The
Kent county sheriff went TO Helena after
him. but so well did the prisoner act that
he was released as remarkably like, but not
Judge Follett. He started for the Pacific
coast, thinking he would be safer in a coun-
try where he would not be worth 81 900. A
private dispatch received in st. Paul last
night, FROM Tacoma, w. IT,, states that the
fugitive sailed from there, yesterday, on
ship lumber laden for Sydney, n. s. W.. and
that he confessed TO the pilot before the
latter left the vessel that he was Follett.

Premier Crispi Says Military Expenditure
Has Reached Its Limit.
LONDON, March 16.-Realizing the situa-
ton in which the government is placed,
Sig. Crispi, the Italian Premier. has decid-
ed not to again bring forward the obnox-
ious portions of the budget which recently
caused the Cabinet crisis in Italy. He sees
no possible chance of the Deputies conced-
ing further taxation to provide for con-
templated increase of expenditure for NIL
itary objects. On the contrary, they cry
for retrenchment. both In the army and
navy. The event is of the first importance.
1t probably means that the struggle be-
tween the great powers to rival each other
in the magnitude of their armaments is ap-
preaching the end. Italy is the poorest Of
the, great states. The southern part of
Italy resembles Ireland In the absence of
all material prosperity. Central Italy is
little better off. The great plain of the Po
is rich agricultural region, and one or
two OF its large towns-at any rate Turin,
Milan and perhaps Bologna-are tiourishing
centers of manufacture or of trade.
Since the consolidation of Italy into the
modern kingdom the government has di-
rected its chief attention to the formation
peared TO be an absolute necessity for a
state with so long coast line TO defend.
The army served as a great training school
for nation whose first wants were discl
pline and a sense Of the national unity that
had been acquired. But the work, in spite
of good administration and economy, has
peen terribly costly, for the system of
universal compulsory service makes a
great deduction from the working members
of any community, to say nothing of the
taxation that must be paid by the remain
ing workers.

THE COAL.MINING OUTLOOK.

A Strike Expected in Ohio-How It Is Pro-
posed to Cripple the Indiana Operators.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
COLUMBUS, O.. March 17.-Trouble be-
tween the operators and miners seems to be
inevitable since the failure of the joint con-
vention to agree upon scale of prices at
the meeting in this city. and it is likely to
start in Ohio before the lapse of many
days. At Salinaville there is al
ready difference as to the
screens in use, and prominent
officer of the National Progressive Union
said that it was more than probable that q
double strike would be inaugurated there
to maintain the present scale of prices and
to force the operators to use the regulation
screen. He was asked if strike was in
augurated in this State if it would not give
the Indiana operators an immense advan-
tage over those in Ohio in supply
ing the great market of the North
west, and in this connection the
officer made an important statement.
This matter had been considered, he said,
by the miners, and in order to prevent this
result the decision had been arrived at, IN
the event of strike in Ohio, to withdraw
all the union men from the mines in Indiana,
and lessen the competitive powers of the
operators by curtailing the output. The
officers of the union generally anticipate
trouble during the present season, but ex-
press q willingness to do all possible to
avoid a clash between operators AID min

Paris Bankers and Capitalists Come to the
Rescue Of the Compton d'Escompte.
PARIS, March 17.-At the financial meet
ing, this morning, M. Rouvier appealed to
the bankers to unite on both moral and
patriotic grounds. He expressed the hope
that the 100000 francs of fresh capital
necessary to uphold the Compton fEs-
compte would be Immediately subscribed.
The meeting then adjourned.
AT meeting of the directors of the Bank
of France, it was decided to make an addi-
tional advance of 2O,OOO.OOO francs, on con-
dition that similar sum be subscribed else
where, in order to avert judicial hquida-
ton of the Compton d'Escompte's affairs.
The Rothschilds subscribed 5000, 900 francs
and the Credit Foncier 100000, and the
subscriptions of other houses bring the ag-
gregate up to sc, ,OO0, 900 francs. The remain
ing 100000 francs are certain to be sub
scribed.
The Economists Francais states that the
Compton d'Escompte is not bound by any
of its engagements with the copper mines,
and its participation in the copper syndi-
cate, both the old and new societies des
metaux, may be repudiated as contrary to
its statutes.

FRANCES PATRIOTIC LEAGUE.
The Government Very Uneasy Over the Att
tude Of the Radicals.


tude Of the Radicals.
PARIS, March 16.-The bitterness of the
French Radicals at the attitude of the gov
ernment against the Patriotic League has
been intensified by the resembling of the or
der of Punishment by which the Due d'Au-
male was exiled from French territory.
Those who bear i'll will toward the republic
base their hope of monarchical restoration
upon the disappointed ambition of many.
and the intense personal vanity of all
Frenchmen. The danger of jesting with
the national ardor for titular distinction
may be illustrated by the fact that a Gym
ical Deputy has three duels ON his hands for
having proposed in a jocular moment
measure creating every Frenchman duke
and a chevalier of the Legion of Honor.
Notwithstanding the extenuating circum-
stances in the Dukes favor. his prineely
gift of Chantilly to the nation, and his gen
uine services as a soldier. it is not likely he
would have been recalled, except as an
earnest of the Ministry's dislike to Bou-
langer, who, when Minister of War, caused
the erasure of the Dukes name from the
roster of the staff.
The very quiescence of the extreme Rad
icals has created much uneasiness in the
minds of the authorities, who consider that
their lamb-like submission may cover some

of the police have resulted in the establish
ment of the fact that the dangerous ele-
ment possesses no material with which to
sustain an open outbreak, but with the aid
of modern science they are aware that a
few determined men can do great deal of
mischief without running more than or
dinaTy risk. The police have, therefore,
been at no little trouble and expense to
keep informed of the movements of the
Anarchists who are now in Geneva in large
numbers, and undoubtedly in obedience to
the call of their general committee. 1t is
more probable that their object is the plan
ming of some demonstration to take place
In France, either warning destruction Of
property or the removal of some obnoxious
person or persons.
Undoubtedly one reason for the govern
ment's wishing to impress foreign nations
with sense of its strength by its course in
the Aumale matter and its restrictive meas
ures with the secret societies is to give a
guaranty for the security of life and prop
erty at the approaching exposition.

TRIALS OF OFFICE-sEEKERs.

Tribulations Borne by the Place Hunters
Husks Upon which They Feed.
Washington Special to New York Tribune.
mo nominations to-day,n sighed the Of
fce-seeker, this morning, as he remembered
that the Senate had adjourned over until
Monday morning. He ate his breakfast
with scant appetite and glanced over his
morning paper with hstless and detected
air. He has already learned that ''inside
information" obtained by and through men
who profess to have exclusive" facilities
and to be infallible, is not to be trusted,
but he speedily forgets the lesson. Hope
springs eternalp in the office-seekers breast,
and soon after he enters the ''rumor ex-
change" which is in full blast at his hotel:
his eyes brighten. the weary, discouraged
expression vanishes from his countenance,
he becomes buoyant and active, and de-
YOURS with avidity the .mOrsel offered by
the friendly .quidnunc, who is full of mys-
terry and misinformation, which he doleS
out with cautious tongue.
"Pve just had a long talk with Senator
-, but am not at liberty to mention his
name. He spent an hour with the Presi-
dent this morning, and feels confident that
you are all right"
lis that sof What did the President
"Oh, well, you know, the Senator was not
at liberty to repeat what the President
said. In fact, it was not so much what he
said, as the manner in which he said it, and
the interest he manifested in finding a good
man for the place that made the interview
significant"
Upon such husks as these is the office
seeker fain to feed, if not to thrive and be
content. OF course he takes good deal of
exercise, for he usually has several strings
to his bow. If he cannot be an assistant
secretary in one department.. he is willing
to be chief of a bureau in another depart
ment, and something else in third depart
ment, and he feels it necessity to call on
all three of them once or twice a day to see
that the places are still there. Then he must
pay daily visit to the Capitol when the
Senate is in session, lest he should be NOM
mated and confirmed ''unbeknownsp to
himself. At least one visit each day to the
White House he regards as indispensable,
and he must see his Senator and Represent
ative once or twice a day, or they might
forget that he wants an office and give it
to somebody else. Often he is man who
has been introduced to President Harrison
or one of the members of his Cabinet and
exchanged few words with him, upon
the strength of which he builds high hopes
and speaks familiary of my friend Win
dom.n or refers TO the Secretary of State
as ''Jim," or declares that President Har-
risOn knows me well and does not forget
how much / did toward placing him where
he is to-day" Usually the office-seeker
finds that he has three or four or a dozen
competitors for each of the places he has
in view, and good deal of his time is Oc-
cupied in watching their movements and
comparing the weight of their Influence
half. Sometimes he makes overtures to
them in the name of HARMONY which
overtures usually are fruitless because they
involve the retirement of the other man.

of the Admiralty, yesterday, on the subject
of the new scheme for the augmentation of
the navy. While nothing is definitely
known of what took place at the confer

the submission to himself and his adherents
of an elaborate and voluminous presenta-

Hamilton demurred, alleging that the
schedule demanded would involve an inn

sumo great deal of valuable time. The
Tory-DemOcratic leader was obdurate, and
threatened to move an ugly amendment to
the naval bill in the House unless his re-
quest was complied with. Lord Hamilton
hesitated, but after some reflection con-
sented to furnish the information desired
in detail.
