REPUBLICAN SPLIT.
The Senator. Divided on fhs Ord r Of rusi-
ness - The Financial Measure and the
Force Bill Both In Danger.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lS.-The financial
measure reported from the finance COM
mittee of the senate as q result Of the
caucus action last night has come IN con-
fiict already with the election bill, and
the chances are greatly against the
passage of either of them be-
fore January !. When the caucus
adjourned last night a motion had been
agreed to by unanimous vote authorizing
Senator Aldrich to report to the senate
proposition to change the rules so as to
establish the previous question dur
ing the remainder OF the ses-
sion of congress. The under
Standing of tbs Western senators who
are interested fh'the passage of finsn-
cial bill was that the bill as agreed to in
caucus would be reported to the senate
at the earliest possible day and that the
election bill would be laid aside for II.
They understood also that the new rule
would not be reported before the tinan-
cial measure was disposed of. unless ii
became necessary to coerce the
Democrats with it into pass
ing the financial bill. Eastern
senators disposed towards the caucus bill
voted for it with the understand NJ that
KS idle "Oulu Ue iiuhtu Win tAat VI tuc
election bill. and that the new rule
would be reported and passed before the
caucus bill was taken up. In accord
ance with this idea Senator AIdrich
called meeting Of che committee
on rules this afternoon, but Senator In
gals declined to attend the meeting be-
cause he is among the senators opposed
TO considering q change OF rules before
the financial measure Is taken up. As
the Democratic senators would not
attend the meeting there was no quorum
and therefore the meeting could not be
held. Senator Ingalls, will not attend
a meeting of the committee before his
departure for the West Sunday,
Therefore the new rule cannot be re-
ported from the committee before JeDu-
ary |. Senator Aldrich can introduce
the new rule without action Of the COM
mIttee, but he has no assurance
that majority of the senators will vote
for it, and he hes not Determined, there
fore, that II will be alvisable to do SO.
Even il he should determine to bring
in the rule, it would require the pres
ence of quorum of Republican. sem
ators to pass It. and enough
Republican senators are going
home for Christmas to break up
the Republican quorum. If the Repub-
lican senators split on the question of
bringing in the new rule before the tnan-
ctal measure is considered, both 1t and
the election bill may fail of the required
n lumber of votes to pass them.

New YORK, Dec. 1s.-Wali street was

ITY OF MEXICO, Dec. 1S.-Soldiers
who recently deserted ut Ell aPaso are
now being tried, and the probabilities
are that the two ringleaders will be shot
and the rest sentenced to imprisonment.
Sensational kilograms from San Anto-
MO, Tex. giving out that the Mexican
government is financially embarrassed
are untrue. 1t is true Mexico has nego-
tiated loans in Europe, but from a pri-
vate syndicate and not from any govern
ment, and interest on same is always
paid thirty days before due.
Respecting the subsidies to railroads,
all have been paid-sett!ed up with the
proceeds of the late loan, which was
made for that specific purpose.
The report that the government ia
granting new financial subsidies is I'M
true. The government Legislation is fa-
vorable to inducing enterprises settling
here. The government is ready TO listen
TO offers of reciprocity, and probably will
accept some of those offered.
President Diaz and Secretary of In
terror Romero Rubio stated there was no
desire TO legislats against the United
States, and nowise retnliate.
Finance Minister Dublan said there
was no retaliation against the Mckinley
bill, as all late decisions were decided on
before the Mckinley bill came out.
\ telegram from the frontier of Guate-
mala states that dissatisfaction is su-
preme throughout Guatemala, due to
the scarcity of money, as the projected

SALVINI.
A splendid Actor, With q Pine Play, Attracts

A splendid Actor, With q Fine Play, Attracts
an Unusual Au!ience.
This paper having heretofore remarked
upon the great powers Of Mr. Salvini
aud his excellent company, it is I'M
necessary new to enlarge upon that actor
and his people.
Mr.. Greenwall conferred favor on
the better portion of the community in
securing the return of Salvini, and the
large and intensely appreciative audience
last evening TO witness "a Child OF
Naples attested the worth of the occa-
sion.
AS the leZzarone, the eminent actor
carried out to the fullest extent the
talent and study with the recitive elements
of such a characterization, which are
destined to make him become famous.
Not only would the chief artist merit
extended notice, but those supporting
him we're nearly all above the average
In the theatrical world. Among them
were Messrs. Delamater, Henderson,
Archer and johnson, who each showed
by their respective renditlous more
thun ordinary talent and ex-
perience; and in this respec,
the management deserves praise in Sc
curing such good assistants.
Miss Belle Archer, as Lucia, exhibited
a deeply interesting Improvisation, and
attracted critical audience by the sym
pathetic illustration of difficult role.
Miss Dixon did full justice to her part as
the waif.
Ii only remains to add that should Mr..
Savlni or any OF his people visit this re-
gion again, the public will be found duly
prepared to reward their endeayors.
Emma Juch opera company will
arrive this morning on their special
train from Dallas and will appear
at the Greenwull opera house in
Carmen Tonight. Their orchetra will
consist of twenty-five people. This
feature is only one among the many
great exceilencies to bs found in
this very unusual combination. Besides
the large number of artists engaged,
and expensive scenery and properties
employee, it is we'll known that beyond
question this opera should be con sdered
the social event of the SEASON; and
gathering this evening and at the
other performances tomorrow Will be
such as are rarely seen in any theater.
Already the seats ars nearly all sold.
So those nicely interested should caution
themselves accordingly.

The Eyernud-Bompard Trial.

PARIS, Dec. lS.-The trial OF Michael
Eyeraud and Gabriel Bompard for the
murder of Toussaint GouGe was con-
,iuued to-day. The first witness called
was DR.. La CassagGe, who performed an
autopsy on the victims body. He was
asked by the president of the court
whether the fracture OF GOuffe' s neck
was due TO hanging or to pressure of the
hands.
The witness replied he was not certain.
but it was probably caused by the hands.
Mile. Bompard here stated that Eye
raud threw cord around Gouffe's
throat, the cord slipped, whereupon Eye
raui seized GouTe by the throat and
strangled him.
Eyeraud interrupted. saying, "That
was not what happened. l hanged
Gouffe.''
DR.. Barnard testified that Goufe's
body was found in a sack, head down
ward, legs folded up.
Eyeroud interposed saying: 'That
could not be while the body renamed
suspended. let 1t slide into the sack
feet foremost.
The laborer who found the sack gave
testimony confirming Eyraud's state
ment as to the position of the body in The
sRck.
DR.. Brourrdel, who was deputed to
examine into the mental condition OF
Mile. Bompard, expressed the conviction
that she was perfectly responsible for her
actions, although she would come under
the category of morally deficient, being
q person who would commit crime with
Indifference.
DR.. Surrest, physician of the Bompard
hOusehould, deposed that he has hypno-
tised Gabrielle, and that he believed il
possible that she had been brought into a
similar way under the influence Of
EyerRud.
DR.. Brouardel, being recalled, denied
the influence of hypIotism. and q scene
enBued.
DR.. Voisin. physician connected with
the police department, who was called at
the request of Mile. Bompurd, swore
that he had hyptOnized the woman. lie
declined 10 enter into details on the
ground of professional secresy.
Mile. Bcmpuru 5 counsel declared that
DR.. Fosin had i'm portaDt condolences
given him by the prisoner, and that the
court must remove the seal of secresy.
The public prosecution opposed this de-
mRud, and blamed Eoisin for having re-
sorted 30 hypuotism.
The president OF the court decided that
the matter ought to be dropped.
THIS deci. N brought out a loud pro-
test from I. q audience, whereRpon the
court was clsarrd.
