WHAT COUNT DE PARIS SAYS.
He Had No Connection Whatever
With His Sons Escapade.

WIN his sons Escaphue.
LONDON, Feb, 10.-The Count de
Paris has not sailed for America, as
has been announced in the papers, but
is remaining in concealment at his resi-
dence, Sheen House. A reporter, who
succeeded in being admitted, learned
that cablegram had just been received
from influential friends in Porto Rico
advising the Count to proceed at once
TO America. After waiting two hours
for an opportunity TO see the Count the
reporter succeeded in seeing him in a
small room set aside for his study.
In reply to the question, what he
thought would be the result of his sons
arrest in Paris, the Count said: II am
rather surprised that the government
should have taken such a step. re-

Western Roads Carting Freight Free.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Feb, 10.-
To-day the Michigan Central and the
Grand Rapids and Indiana railroads
inaugurate the free carriage of freight
received from Buffalo, Pittsburg and
points further east. The movement
was first made by the Central as bid
for the Eastern freight, which has been
heretofore mainly handled by the
Grand Rapids and Indiana, and was
promptly met by the other roads. 1t is
equivalent to cut of two cents per
hundred on freight from the points
named, and it is thought that war of
rates may follow.

GAINESVILLE. Mo-, Feb 10.-There
is great deal of excitement here over
the reported finding of an old silver
niue in this county. Last week man
is said to have found on the top of a
high ridge fiat stone covered with
rude letters, with these legible words,
Found this" and with mark point
ing to the east. Searching in the di-
rection indicated he found circular
opening, arched over with SETTLING
stones. The finder eXcavated, and
found where drifts or runs had been
walled up. 1t is believed that this is an
old silver mine about which marvellous
stories were once told by the Indians,
but which was lost years ago, and to
find which many efforts have been
made.

KING CARNIVAL IN NICE.

NICE, Feb. 9.--There was but one
cry in Nice tonight and 1t was "Car.
nival" This year King Carnival
would have nothing to do with steam,
or even later means of locomotion, SO,
instead Of arriving as he often has done
at Care, he came strolling quietly along
the promenade des Anglais. On his
still--a tricycle..
1t was s o'clock when his Majesty,
who is to rule the revels for days to
come, appeared. He was eighteen feet
in height, and was dressed in rose and
yellow jacket, with knee breeches,
striped hose, pointed shoes and q
Jockeys cap. His golden tricycle.
wheels were nine feet high, and his
suite was as elegant as his Majesty him
self.
There were the municipal firemen,
bands without number, torch. bearers
and whole party of punchinnellos on
horseback, whose duty seemed to be to
keep the red light boys up to their
work and the torch bearers in their
places. Throughout the whole route
the pavements were crammed, and
never, perhaps, have visitors to Nice
witnessed so brilliant scene. Laugh
ing, cheering, shouts and music
mingled and created true pande-
mOnium.
Nice had gone mad once again and
fireworks flew in all directions. Every
balcony was filed with sight seers. and
standing under the shelter of the dark
treoa the sipht was one lOnU In he re-.
membered. II was pantomimic trans
formation scene in real life. The pro-
cession, amidst dancing and music,
wendcd its way along the boulevards to
the Place Garibaldi, where, for min
ute, the King stopped to pay his respects
to the General de Division Gouveneur.
1t then went straight to the Casino,
where the keys of the town, with ire.
| mendous flowery speech, too flowery
indeed to be taken down in shorthand
were handed to King Carnival XVIII,
who afterward was conducted to his
throne, where. with his back to the
sun, he will be monarch of all he sur
veys and the condoner of all deeds
good or evil, that may happen during
his reign of ten days, when, like Guy
Fawkes of old, he will suffer the eX
treme penalty of the law.

AMERICAN ABORERS.
Discussing the Methods For Opening
the Eight Hour Campaign.

ST. PAUL, MINI, Feb. 10.-Nearly
200 delegates We're present at the State
eight-hour meeting yesterday afternoon
The first subject of discussion was an
expression of opinion from all trades
represented as to how the eight hour
campaign should he carried on. The
stone cutters, carpenters and plumbers
favored immediate action, but the
printers urged delay. The general
opinion of other trades was that the
league should become an educational
body, allowing each locality to decide

She Is Not Influenced in Any Way by
Mr.. Chandos.

LONDON, Feb 10.-The following let
ter has been received by newspaper
editor:
SIR: A woman very seldom realizes how
peculiar are her utterances when turned
into cold print. | have had an opportunity
lately of appreciating this fact, as l have
received from friends in America copies of
papers containing an account of CONVEX
sation had with your reporter. am not
desirous of ventilating my private affairs
through the medium of the public press
and, indeed, have avoided it in every possi-
BILE way, but would like to put one point
clearly which think was omitted among
the statements published from memory.
My estrangement from my husband is
due entirely to my indignation at his reck-
less financial course and the responsibility
he has forced upon me, not in any way to
the influence of Mr.. Chandos, whom have
not seen for months, nor of anybody else. 1t
would be most repugnant to me to reflect
upon Colonel Hughes-Ilallet in any way
except where it is absolutely necessary to
protect myself.
