THE FRENCH CABINET.

a Frpnehman Tells a Chicago Reporter the
Cause of the Fall OF the Trad Cabinet.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, March IS.-Cayrou,
the French manufacturer who is in the
city talking with a reporter about
French politics, said the true cause Of
of the fall of the Tirard cabinet is not
generally known. Neither the question
of protection and free trade nor that Of
Boulangerism entered into the matter.
The truth is that Tirard promised Cou-
STAINS, who was in his cabinet, the posi-
ton of governor of Algeria. This he fail ed
to give him, and the result was Contains
disagreement in the cabinet, which
thereafter went before the chamber Of
deputies, disorganized. The new min
istry is however, a strong one. and if
any man can hold the chamber for more
than year, Freycinet can. As for the
change of cabinets, it does not indicate
the instability of the French republic.
You may however look for little furry
in Paris in a few days, when a demon
stration will be made in the streets in
favor of the imprisoned duke of Orleans.
This will occur on the occasion of the
coming election in Paris.

SOMETHING IL TIE WIND.

flushing Men and Teams to the Wichita
Valley Road.
There is unusual activity in Fort Worth
ard Denver construction circles, and the
surmise is that something has been heard
drop over towards the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas, which has been threatening
to build into the same territory that the
Denver is reaching out'for from Wichita
Falls. When work was first begun at
Wichita Falls il was supposed that Con-
tractor Dan Carey would be able, with the
force then at his command, not count
ing that at work between Fort
Worth and Hodge, to complete the
road to Seymour in quick enough
time; but now a new aspect is put on
everything by the rushing of additional
men and teams to Wichita Falls to join
the force now at work. A few days ago
some of the force from this road was
sent up the road, and a few days
later the outfit of John Hughes, the well
known contractor, was gathered in and
il too is with CGrey's forces on the
Wichita Falls and Seymour extension.
Yesterday the entire grading force that
had been left here TO finish up the Dem
yer WAS uEdhu OH tue "OTh DEluR COM
pleted, aud to-day they go to Wichita
Fails.
There have been movements Of
certain parties connected with the
extension of the Denver that
indicate that more men and more teams
will be put on the work at once; in fact =,
it is reported that orders to that effect
have been given, and that Mr.. Carey Is
now gathering up or making preparations
to gather up an additional force.
Wat has led to this unusual
activ ty can only be conjectured,
but it has been stated on pretty
good authority that it is caused by
knowledge of the fact that the Henriotta
scheme, which is 10 build an extension
of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas to
Seymour is about TO assume shape, aud
that the Denver people wish to be on the
ground and in possession when the enemy
comes in sight.
Ii can be very safely relied on, too,
that If the M, K. s. 7. does build to
Seymour that the Denver will take an
other squirt and go digging away to the
West from that place. In short, the
Denver does not propose to be left in
this race to a valuable, and at present
unoccupied territory. The situation Is
growing interesting, and there is really
no telling what the near future may de-

ments Quashed.

NEW ORLEANS, La. March 1s.-The

Landry parish regulators decided in
favor of the defendants. The accused
had been convicted in st. Landry parish
and sentenced to serve various terms in
the state penitentiary for entering the
house OF one Duplechin at midnight on
February % ana shooting at him with the
intent to kill. They appealed to the
supreme court, alleging that they had
no intention other than dragging forcibly
from the house OF Duplechin a woman
named Title, who was wrongfully in
clined and disgrace to the community
in which she resided. Duplechin had
interfered land one of the crowd Fagout,
fred a shot over Dupiechin 3 head to
frighten him. They had no intention of
doing him bodily harm. Defendants
allege they belong to a band of regula-
tors, or fwhite caps, and that it was
in pursuance OF the principles of the
organization that the assault on the wo-
man. Title, was committed. The court
Quasned the indictment, holding that
criminal offense is not complete without
felonious intent. The fact remains that
Duplechin was severely wounded.

the right stripe, and when it comes to

as the idea popped into his
head he went TO work with the heads of

them that it was good one. The result
was complimentary train from Chicago
10 this city; and no passengers were eyer
better treated than this "dead- head -
crowd was by Major Hunt and his asso-
ciates. It was happy idea well carried
out, and the katy" made friends by
it.

RATE CUTTING.

The Iowa Commissioners Prove Themselves
Adopts the Business.
The Iowa railroad commissioners have
made another move in their war of exter-
mlnstion upon the railways by eompell-
ing q reduction of freight rates to various
Iowa points, not because the low rates to
which they had already forced the roads
are not reasonable, but because the exist
ing war among the roads upon rates be-
tween Chicago and the Missouri river had
given the jobbers at some points
an advantage over those at
other places. The commissioners
ignored the fact that the war rates are
unreasonably low and moreover are
naturally temporary, and they entirely
disregarded the arguments of the various
representatives who appeared before
them and showed that the earnings of
the roads did not warrant further de-
structioh. Not few Iowa iobbers and
other shippers also protested against an
other reduction, but the rate-cutting
reputation of the Iowa commissioners
must be sustained or their popularity
will be endangered.

north or east side of the river, and
the other on the south or west

being done now is quite heavy, but not

completed to the three mile stake. The
heavy work will continue about three
miles further, when the river breaks will
be left and the line from there
on will be on the high pralrieS
nearly all the way to Springtown.
With the present force now at work on
the line the grade to Spriugtown can be
finished up in l20 days, but as more men
and more teams are to be added the
work will be finished up before that
time.
This road, which is being constructed
with but little news paper talk, will be
one of the most important ever built to
or from Fort Worth. 1t will rene-
trate one OF the finest agricul-
tural districts, IN Texas, will
tap as fine granite and limestone quar-
ries Us were ever opened, and will reach
the coal fields of the Northwest a. such
short distance from this city that cheap
fuel will be secured beyond a doubt.
Besides these great benefits to be derived
from the Albuquerque road. it will surely
bring 10 our merchants, and keep it with
them, the trade of vast section
of country that has as yet been directed
in no particular direction. 1t will not
only bring the trade of the section as it
now is, but it will be the cause of all
that country along its line being settled
up with sturdy farming population,
and of new towns being built ami old
ones growing larger: and all this in
crease will add to the commerce to
be made tributary TO this city.
The people along the route have
been waiting long for Fort Wori b TO
build this road, and the good news that
the good work is now going on makes
them more partial to Fort Worth than
they have ever been. Our own people
do not appear TO fully appreciate the
great benefits that the Albuquerque is
gong to bring to Fort Worth.

A Quiet Visit.

Manager Meek's recent visit to the
East was finished up at New Orleans,
where he seems 10 have adroitly escaped
the newspaper reporters, and he even
managed to pass through Dallas without
having been heard of by o reporter there.
IT'S said part of his business at New
Orleans was in relation to mail matters
on the Panhandle system, but there is
more importance to be attached to that
visit than is embraced in mere
postal arrangements. While in Fort
Worth Mr.. Meek did but little, if
any talking on railroad matters, but be
had conferences with certain parties on
other matters that in their bearing are
of great Importance to this city. Mr..
Meek is a farseeing, bracing man aud
tits no wonder that he has high appre-
citation of Fort Worth real estate. He
knows good thing when he sees it and
he knows how to take advantage of it.

Orleans tor him, and in the same car be

gen, Hon A. s. Merser, and to enthuse

Clay county and its capital city such adj
vantages as would attract a vast throng
of people if properly presented TO home
seekers. He showed the Importance OF
the Gulf, Brazos Valley and Pacific rail-
road, and urged our people TO be liberal
with the management as they, the man.
ayers, had the backing and the
disposition TO build the shortest railroad
line to deep water on the gulf.

The meeting was productive Of greatly
increased interest among all the people
III the matter of pushing development,
and this time forward We expect to be
counted live people with the Gulf,
BraZos Valley aud Pacific railroad,
certainty in the near future. The
Rock Island may be set down as booked
