SUCCTS FAST ENDED.
Nourishment Disdained for
Forty-five Days.
ENTITLED TO TANNERS BELT.
Last Day the worst--A Sip of Cocoa
Restores His vital Force
and Spirits.

New YoRK, Dec. 20.--Giovanni Succi's
fast of forty-fiye days terminated at Sis
this evening, in the presence of an audi
ence Of 400. The worst attack of gastric
trouble he had during the fast was at D
O'Clock today, during which his pain was
SO acute that it was feared he would col
lapse, but his indomitable will carried him
through From that time until Sis the
pains constantly occurred, his distress be-
ing shown by contortions of his face and
nervous movements of his body.
When cocoa was prepared shortly after
o'clock Sucei arose from his lounge and
staggered to the table, looking more like q
skeleton than man. When he first
slipped the cocoa there was burst OF APP
plause from the spectators. 1t was doubt
full whether he would be able to retain
nourishnlent, but the uncertainty soon
passed away and Succi gradually resumed
his former buoyancy.
This morning Succi weighed l0iA
pounds. When he began the fast he
weighed f474. During the fast he drank
twcnty-one quarts of alkaline water and
nine and one-half of Croton water, besides
n little of his elixir, which chemists say
contains no nourishment.
Tomorrow afternoon he will take his
first dinner The fast undoubtedly has
been an honest one.

toriaI Town Officers to Terms.
VAUDEVILLE, Me-, Dec. 20.-The town OF
Skowhegan was in q state of excitement
Thursday morning on account of the clos
ing of every hotel, restaurant and lodging
house in the place. The proprietors of the
hotels and lodging-houses were notihed
that they must take out a yictualers' IL
cense in accordance with the revised stat
utes, which allow municipal officers to Ii
cense as inn-keepers and victualers persons
of good moral character, under such re-
strictions and regulations as they may
term necessary.
Thursday they signed an agreement to
close for one week, and if not allowed to
open under the old conditions leave the
town. Thursday morning the Hesselton
house turned away los guests, notifying
them that they must seek entertainment
elsewhere, and the Colburn and Skowhe-
gan houses also sent away large numbers.
At the Colburn house Judge Whitehouse.
of the supreme court, was staying, with
many attorneys and witnesses. The judge
said that if the hotels closed he would
have TO adjourn court and go home.
A meeting of selectmen and prominent
business men was held at the Coburn, with
the hotelkeepers and Judge Whitehouse,
TO see what could be done TO adjust mat
tiers. The hotel men received assurance
that the action was unauthorized, and
they have agreed to open as before.

HYPNOTISM is FOLLY.
Stranger Eyraud and Gabri-
ellie Bompard Convicted.
THE MAN DOOMED TO DEATH
His Mistress Sentenced to Twenty
Years Imprisonment With Hard
Labor-The Prisoners Break Down.

PARIS, Dec 20.--The trial of Michael
Eyraud and Gabrielle Bompard for the
murder of Natary Gouffe was continued
this morning. The proceedings were
opened by the public prosecutor, who
summed up the case in behalf of the gov-
eminent. He denounced the theories of
the Nancy school of hypnotizers, and
urged that person who was hypnotized
retained sufficient will power TO resist
the operators will. He said Pro-
fessor Charcot's experiments showed that
no operator could bring a subject
so absolutely under his control as to force
him or her to commit crime. The
theories of the Nancy school were on
par with fortune-telling with cards. If
such theories were once admitted, personal
responsibility would be at end, and the
laws on which society depend for protec-
ton would disappear in anarchy. Both
prisoners were equally guilty. The
evidence showed that everything
in the room in which the crime
was committed had been prepared
for the hanging of Gouffe, and it was idle
TO assert the contrary. Ii was the jury's
duty to reject the story of the woman, who
was as culpable as her companion, who
frankly avowed his guilt. The prosecutor
demanded that the extreme sentence of
the law be imposed upon Eyraud. In the
case of Mile. Bompard the jury must de-
eide whether there were any extenuating
circumstances in the part she had taken in
the crime.
Decori spoke in behalf of Eyraud, who,
he contended, was n mere puppet under
the evil influence of Mile. Bompard. He
read q letter written by her to her first
lover TO show her character. During the
reading Gabrielle burst into fit of weep
ing, and restoratives had to be applied.
Decori insisted that she. and not Eyraud,
conceived the crime. The original inten-
ton of both was not to murder Gouffe, but
to extort money from him.
NJ Roberts spoke in behalf of Mile. Bonn
pard, maintaining that Eyraud had
enticed her into participation in the crime.
He said the story of the crime, as recited
by her to DR.. Voisin while she was under
hypnotic influence, was that it had been
agreed that she was to throw her girdle
over Gouiie's neck. but just as she was
about TO do SO she was seized with a ner-
vous attack which rendered her helpless,
and Eyraud, seeing her unable to perform
her part, rushed upon their victim and
strangled him TO death.
The jury was out one hour and fifty
minutes. Eyraud was convicted and con-
demned to death. Gabrielle Bompard was
also convicted, but sentenced to twenty
years Imprisonment with hard labor.
Gabrielle upon hearing the sentence ap-
peared utterly overcome, and fell back
into the arms of her doctor Eyraud
showed no emotion.
While being conducted to his cell,
Eyraud necessarily muttered, Condemned
TO death at last, but expected it,"
Eyraud refused TO taste his dinner. He
expressed hope that he would be granted
a reprieve. Mile. Bompard is also hopeful
that her sentence will be reduced.

NAVAL WORK CONCENTRATED.

fined to One Swift Cruiser.

WASHINGTON CTTy, Dec. a0.-[Special. =
The naval appropriation bill was reported
TO the House today, showing that the con-
struction of the new navy is going on in n
remarkably expeditions MANNER. Chair
man Bouteile said that owing to the rapid
ity with which work had been prosecuted
there would be concentration of large
part of the expenditures within the com
ing year and that an increased appropria-
ton was needed to meet the requirements
of the greatly accelerated progress As
instance of how construction is being
prosecuted he called attention to the fact
that the day following the approval of the
act providing for three battle-ships ad-
vertisements were printed calling for
proposals, and three months afterward
contracts were let for what il is supposed
will be the most powerful battle-Ships ever
designed. The time for the completion Of
the vessels had also been cut down.
In view of the large appropriation neces-
Sary % unish the work ON hand. the COM
lnittee decided to contine its reCommenia-

proses 10 enlarge the boundaries of the

covered district to the south and west,
which is calculated TO add TO its beauty
and which is useless for farming or cat

THE PROCLAMATION NEXT WEEK.
President VIII Not Require Payment OF
Worlds Fair subscriptions.

WASHINGTON Cry, Dec. Cot is learned
ON the highest authority that there is no
truth in the report that the president, be-
fore he will issue the Columbian Worlds
fair proclamation, viii require 5000, 600 of
the 100000 subscription to be paid in
cash To Treasurer Seeberger. 1t is learned
from an authentic source that the procla-
nation will be ready for issuance very
soon, probably next week.
The visit of Secretary Butterworth and
Mr.. Peck 10 the White House today was
for the purpose of laying before the presi-
dent additional papers bearing upon the
validity of the subscriptions to the fair.
These established absolutely the binding
character of the subscriptions, and, it is
believed, settled all the remaining doubts.
The bona nde character of the subscrip-
tions was attested by the fact that under a
20 per cent. call more than 81 100000 had
been paid in cash of the total of $7,20o, 600
subscribed

A BEHRING SEA MESSAGE.
The President VIII Recommend yigor
Gus Enforcement OF the Law.

WASHINGTON Cry, Dec. 20-President
Harrison expects TO accompany his trans
mission to congress of further papers re-
lating to the Behring sea controversy with
special message expressing his views re-
specting the rights and claims of the
United States in connection with the seal
fisheries, the comparative merit conduct
and position of the two governments since
the hrst seizure in 1856, and tho duty of
congress in the present position of the
question. The message will be framed
with special reference TO the pending pro-
posal of the British government for arbi-
iration, which proposal it is intended to
reject.
The personal bitterness between Blaine
and Salisbury that has risen out of the
course of the negotiations is perceived here
TO constitute a material objection TO a con-
tinuance of efforts toward settlement, es-
peclally after the diplomatic relations be-
tween the two governments shall have
been further strained by the energetic
manner in which Blaine Is preparing TO
show up the hollowness and unfairness of
the British arbitration project. Ii is
thought that, seeing the hopelcssness of
the prospect of settlement by peaceful
means and the necessity of almost in
stantly resolving upon a new course of
conduct for the United States, the presi-
fully before congress and TO apply for legis-
lative assistance in shaping and enforcing
o policy for the immediate future.
The pending British proposal is to refer to
the determination of friendly and impair
tial arbitration the question whether the
seizures of British sealing vessels by the
United States were or were not lawful seiz-
ures. To this form of proposed submits
sion of the case to arbitration the presi-
dent strenuously objects, and he never will
agree to 1t unless congress shall assume
the responsibility and the mode of yielding
adherence to it.
The president win give congress to I'M
derstand that in the present state of the
matter he has perceived neither au-
thority nor reason to abstain from
literal enforcement of the provisions of the
law for the protection of the fur seals in
Alaska and the waters thereof. He will
ask congress for liberal appropriation to
meet the expenses of fitting out and char
tering vessels to serve as revenue vessels in
sufficient number and character to capture
and dispose of the numerous marauding
vessels expected to enter Behring sea next
wear

CHEHALIs RAILROAD NEWS.
Stanley Line Will Cross Northern Pa
cific at Winlock-Union Pacific Work.

CHEHALIs, Dec. Especial. l-R. J.
Lewis, chief engineer of the Stanley, Cas-
cade & Eastern railroad, passed through
Chehalis on Wednesday evening, only
staying over few hours to confer with
Messrs. Gentry and Holton upon future
work in connection with the line. For the
past week he has been looking over the
proposed route between Stanley and the
crossing of the Northern Pacihc railroad.
In an interview the PosT-ISTELLIGENCER
correspondent found him very enthusiastic
over the prospects. He stated that he had
found the route far more practicable than
he had anticipated. Crossing the divide
would be a very easy matter, with an easy
grade on both sides He will arrange mat
tiers TO put on a force of surveyors at once.
The line will cross the Northern Pacific
somewhere in the neighborhood of Win
lock, and then run east along the Cowlitz,
probably taking one of the old Northern
Pacific surveys through the Cascades.
Mr.. Lewis spent several days on the
Sound. and is enthusiastic over the Won
derful development of Washington. This
is his hrst visit here, but he never ex-
pected such progress in every development
as he found. Speaking of Stanley. the
terminus of the line, he stated that they
have every advantage 10 make railroad
terminus on deep water.
). \. Knapp, heavy mine owner of
Hawthorne, New, accompanied Mr.. Lewis
on his trip 10 Stanley and the Sound
towns, looking up mining investments.
A gang of graders have commenced
working upon the Union Paeiac right-of-
way through Chebalis, and have already
completed u large portion of the work.
Another large force is at work ON the line
through Centralia and hlling up the gaps
along the line north and south of here.
Some trouble arose when they commenced
work along Pringle street. 4 report that
work on the line would probably be stopped
in a few days made property holders on
the various streets west of the track
anxious. They objected to having the
streets cut up and left unfinished during
the winter. and the street commissioner
therefore ordered them to stop work across
all streets until something definite could
be learned.
Northern Pacific graders are at work on
the double track along the south end of
Front street. TO where the South Bend line
joins the main track. 4 double line will
be run from there TO the denOr
