PARIS, February 10.-The Legitlmist party
is greatly disturbed over the dilemma pre-
sented by the scrape into which the Duke Of
Orleans has precipitated himself, and Is un-
happy at the ridiculous spectacle Of a prince
who has provoked foolish agitation at
moment when there was no good reason for
any agitation whatever, and when nothing
was to be gained by making one. They were
restrained from giving vent to any such SEN
timent by the thought that II would be lese

all the Bourbons was not the wisest of men
They have found two persons upon whom
they can lay the Princes fault, the Duehesse
Dues and the Due de Luynes. The Due de
Luynes is comrade Of Orleans and the
Duchesse dues Is the mother-in-law OF the
Due de Luynes. II is admitted that a foolish
ambition to figure as the organizer of events

SITUATION UNCHANGED.
Nashua Strikers Will Not Agree to
Arbitrate.

NASHUA, n. H., February 10.-Today has
been one of surprises regarding the labor
troubles. 1t is stated that no concessions are
to be made. Between 10 and IL o'clock
Agent Shaw handed in proposition for ar
bitration, which was received with feeling
of relief by the community. Meetings of the
operatives have been in session considering
it this afternoon The proposition follows
NASHUA, February 10.
In order to adjust the differences which now
exist between the Nash Ia Manufacturing Compa-
ny and their employees in regard to wages, the
company makes the following proposition
The question whether the wages paid by the
Nashua Manufacturing Company previous to Feb
ruary 3. or whether the changes made by the
above named company to take effect on the above
board of arbitration composed of five persons
The Nashua company shall select two the en-
ployes two, the four TO select the fifth This prop
osition shall be fully and freely presented to all
the employees of the company by the several com
mittees representing them and both parties bind
themselves on their honor and by their signatures
to abide truthfully by the decision of the board OF
arbitration. In case this proposition shall be ae-
cepted, all of the employees of the company agree
await the decision OF the board of arbitration at
the wages fixed by the company taking effect
February B.. II the board decide that the former
wages shall be paid all monies earned by the en-
ployeS subsequent TO February In excess of the
reduced rates shall be paid hem by the Nashua
manufacturing company as soon as Inc decision
is reached by the board of arbitration.
EN- SHAW, Agent.
In the meantime the carding room en-
ployes, who have heretofore abstained from
joining the strikers, organized aud notified
Mr.. Shaw that they were desirous of having
their pay restored About 14o of this elias:
of workers and the mule spinners decided
not to accept the proposition to
arbitrate. The majority wished committee
OF arbitration appointed before they return
ed to work. They claim that Agent Shaw
apparently ignores other grievances. The
weavers did not object to arbitration, but
did not relish the idea of entering the mill,
agreeing to await the decision of board Of
arbitration, which would not be staie
board or legal body in any sense. So il
has been generally decided not to accept
Agent Shaw's proposition, and tonight the
situation remains unchanged. More excite
ment tonight was observable than h5reto

company this afternoon.

a BIG PANTHER HUNT.
All the Farmers Turned Out to VAN
quish the Common Enemy.

CARTHAGE, Ill.,. February 1O.--An excit-
Ing panther hunt took place in Adams ccun-
ty yesterday, which resulted in killing a fe-
rocious beast that has terrorized the people
of that county all winter. The animal was
heard from first in the east portion of Adams
county. where it was killing live stock. An
old man named Hill says he met it in lone
ly road one night, but the beast only gave
scream and disappeared.
A short time later Daniel Voorhees,,
farmer living near Quincy, came to that city
and said that early one morning he was at
tackled In his barn by a huge wild animal,
but after short struggle the beast fled into
neighborlng strip of timber. VOORHEES, re-
ceived several ugly scratches The neigh
borhood became alarmed, and many people
refused to leave their homes after night fear
ing an attack.
Reports then came from other farmers that
cows. calves, and even horses were being
killed and their bodies mangled by some un-
known animal, and band of armed men
hunted for two days recently in hopes OF
killing the animal, but not until Yesterday
was this accomplished. Tie big panther.
for such it proved to be, was traced by dogs
into dense thicket in the Bear Creek coun-
try, and it fought with desperation when
closely pressed, and one or TWO of the dogs
were killed. A volley from the rifles soon
laid the big cat dead.

The Cities and the Fair.

New YORK, February 1O-Chauncey M.
Depew now thinks that the only way by
which the Worlds Fair can be secured to
New York is to compromise the political
differences now existing by adding to the bill
the names of several supposed Mugmumps.
These men should not be politicians, but
widely known in business or the professions,
whose names would be a guarantee to every
one. Such names would be approved by
almost all of the Fair committee. He thinks
the responsibility of appointing the men
could be safely entrusted to Mayor Grant
WASHINGTON, February 1o.--The juggling
in the New York legislature with the
Worlds Fair bill Is regarded here as having
practically killed New York's chances of
getting the fair, as several Congressman
hitherto regarded as open to conviction
have expressed their unWillingness to vote
for the choice of site where everything is
made such a football by the politicians.
Meanwhile. Washington's hopes have re.
vived proportionally. The attention that
has been drawn lately to the necessity for
more room for the government has given a
fresh impetus to the idea Of killing two birds
with one stone, and having the government
put up exhibition buildings which can be
utilized afterwards for departmental
purpocpG

A FAMILY DROWNED.
the Children Broke Through the Ice
and the Parents Tried to Save
Them

KINGSTON, February 10-A chain of four
lakes, known as the Binnewaters. is located
along the line of the Waterkill Valley Rail-
road. few miles from this city. They are
great resorts for pleasure seekers, both sum-
mer and winter,as they abound with fish and
are surrounded by woods. The third Binne-
water, which is between six and seven miles
from here. was yesterday afternoon the
scene of an appalling accident. The four
children Of Jacob Il. Slater went skating on
the lake. the ice being hardly two inches
thick. They had been skating little while
only when the ice gave way and they were
struggling in the water.
Their cries for help were heard by their
parents, who fastened to the scene. only to
find that their loved ones were far from the
shore beyond their reach. The mother,
frantic with grief, and with .uplifted hands,
ran wildly in the direction of her children in
vain attempt to rescue them. AS she ap-
preached the spot where they had broken
through, the ice gave way beneath her feet,
and she, too, was foundering about In the
water. Mr.. Slater, who was only few feet
behind his wife, also fell in, aud all were
drowned.

[special to the Press l

Especial to the Press.]
WASHINGTON, February 10.-The debate
on rules proceeded today quietly and de-
corously and, unless unexpected complica-
tions arise, it is expected that vote will be
takeE by Wednesday at 4p. m. The Demo-
Gratis are refraining from filibustering and
are confnlng themselves to the merits of the
questions at issue which is tending to allow
business to go forward. In the Forty-sixth
Congress it took seven weeks to debate and
adopt the rules. 1t was undoubtedly the
Democratic plan to wear time away thus
over the present rules and over all other
legislation. But the result of their conflict
with the Speaker has taught them that they
cannot carry out their programme. Their
humble and industrious spirit is consequent
ly having a favorable effect upon the
progress of business. While all the dis
turbance has been going on the leading COM
mittees have been at work and consequently
the great public measures like the tariff and
appropriation bills are far advanced towards
completion and can be brought in before
long. Indeed, public business is so we'll in
hand that some Republicans are talking of
an adjournment in June. This seems rather
sanguine however. Sill Speaker Reed is
making an effort to make the session busy
and short. Adjournments over day are so
infrequent that some members are complain
ing at the constant work.

SOLDIERS IN THE WAY.
The Troops Kept Many Boomers out
In the Cold.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, February 1O-A Pioneer
Press special from Pierre, S. D., says !:
News was received here this afternoon that
the President had issued proclamation op-
ening the Sioux reservation. 1t was received
with the widest kind Of excitement and i'm
mediately grand stampede and rush for the
reservation lands was begun by hundreds of
boomers and settlers who had been waiting
for the proclamation for weeks. TO
Mile Square, the settlers first rushed, but as
the military headquarters are stationed
there and no orders had been received from
headquarters to allow settlers to cross the
river, trouble Immediately ensued, About
a thousand boomers were met by the sol
diers and finally persuaded to go back The
situation down the river was more serious.
About mile east of the city
was located another boomers
camp. They got into the reservation before
they were noticed, and had already COM
mehced to settle before the military saw
them. The regulars were soon in hot pur-
suit. and succeeded in capturing all but a
few of the boomers. Up to the present time
no orders have been received by the officer
In command to allow any one to go across
upon the reservation.
