highly educated, and spoke all the con-
tinental languages. When he gets into
a tight financial place he resorts to the
most desperate means TO extricate him
self. arrived In the city last Wednes-
day from Kansas City, and started to
hunt him. First called OH Twelfth

A call was made at the place where
Anderson roomed for some time and he
was given good character by the land

she, no doubt, meant harm to Anderson.
She called upon Mrs. Purcell's two sis
ters. and had tolk with them to-day.

N. 1IRARD,
Formerly French Minister Of Foreign
Affairs, on the
UBIQUITOUS M'KINLEY TARIFF.
He Says 1t Was BarbarOus Piece Of Legislation
and That the Economic Arguments Upon Which
il Was Based are FallaciOus-He Cites
His Reasons for Thinking it Untmsly.

PARIS, December 27.-M. Tirard,
formerly French Minister OF Finance. in
an interview on the subject OF the nego-
tiations for a commercial treaty between
France and the United States said:
Treaties of this kind are useful as
modus yivendi between countries, where
tariffs are so high that they paralyze
trade. A treaty with the United States
will be extremely opportune and will
90 long way to secure our enthusiastic
participation in the Chicago Fair.
''The Mckinley law has so much
harmed our trade that | would favor
going TO the United States for staples
oaly when 1t is impossible to obtain
what we need elsewhere The Mckln-
lev administrative bill is baroarous
piece of legislation, and has caused
great III feeling in France. The whole
law IS due 10 an error of Judgment.
"The Americans argued that as their
exports are natural products that other
nations must have they would be sure
to find buyers, and so they could shut
their ports 10 foreign manufacturers.
This reasoning is faliacious. The pop
ulation of the United States might
easily increase to four times the present
figure in twenty years. In that case
America would become still greater
exporting country.
Look how England has developed
since she adopted free trade. III the
United Sta,es were to adopt a like poll
cy Americans would soon govern the
markets of the whole world. BY fol-
lowing the policy of prohibitory pro-
lection she restricts the future to the
limits of home consumption. In France,
where it is impossible to develop re-
sources any further, there may be some
excuse for protection, but not so In
America where the possibilities OF de-
yelopment are unbounded."

days Commercial Gazette says:
Ada Bacon, sixteen years old, and
Katie Dellar, seventeen years old, two
runaways were arrested by Detective
Witte yesterday afternoon, as they
were entering the Postoffice. Miss
Bacon lives in Charleston, w. Va, and
Miss Dellar halls from Ironton, o..
Both came to the city to see little life,
and became acquainted sson after ar
irving. They lived together in room
on Fifth street.
Their families were distracted, and
the father OF each came to the city a
few days after they left home. about
three weeks ago, ana, after some fruit
less searching, placed the matter in the
hands OF the police, which led to their
arrest yesterday.
The girls claim that they were not
treated we'll at home, and preferred
staying here, but rather than be arrest
ed. promised to return. Tney were
taken to the House Of Detention, and
Colonel Deitsch wired their respective
fathers Of their capture. Mr.. Bacon
has not been heard from, but Mr.. Del
lar telegraphed to send his daughter
home, omitting, however, TO forward
the necessary amount for transporta-
tion. so the young ladies spent last night

THE GRAsD CROSS
To be Conferred Upon the Archbishop OF
AK by the Pope.

tA ~ bho oPts
PARIS, December 27.-The news has
been telegraphed from Rome 10 this
city that the Pope intends TO confer the
Grand Cross OF the Order Of Christ upon
the Archbishop OF AK.
In the present state OF public feeling,
when movement is on foot TO separate
Church and State, as one OF the results
OF the Archbishop OF Axis conduct,
supported by the letters and sayings OF
other distinguished prelates, such step
upon the part Of the Vatican is signif-
cant.
IL will be looked upon here, should
the news prove correct, as defiance
upon the part Of the Pope, OF the Gov
ernment OF this country, and the reply
Of the French Government may not be
slow IN forthcoming.
The Archbishop Of Bordeaux, IL viii
be remembered, has made common
cause with Monsignor Goethe-Soulard
in diocesan letter which he addressed
10 all Catholics in France. The main
points OF the letter are as follows:
The Archbishop Oh Bordeaux defends
the right Of members OF the Episcopate
to join In pilgrlnages TO Rome. Ac-
cording to this prelate the Archbishop
OF AK wrote as he did. He was not
prompted by wish to fight, but was
simply overcome by disgust.

TRENTON. December 27.-Train No.
rs on the Pennsylvania Railroad is one
of the flyers between New York and
Chicago. 1t carries two sleeping coaches
one for New York, the other for Phila-
delphia passengers. The custom is to
cut off the Philadelphia sleeper in the
station at that city on the arrival OF the
train At 4 a. M. the passengers remain
ing In their b9rths until three hours
later.
This morning the Philadelphia sleep
er was crowded. The train reached
Philadelphia on time and pulled out for
Jersey City at 4:05 A. VI. II was BOOM
ing along at the rate of fifty miles an
hour when red light brought it to a
full stop at Bristol, Pa. The engineer
and conductor wondered what was the
matter and saw a possible wreck with
sad holiday consequences between
Bristol and this city.
There was no wreck. The trouble
was, the Pniladelphia sleeper had not
been cut of. md was running right
along with the sleeper for New York.
As quietly as was possible the sleeper
was cut of, special engine attached to
il, and 1t was back in Philadelphia be-
fore : a. N. Not passenger on the
train knew anything uausual had hap
pened, which fact, the Pennsylvania
railroad men told each other to-day, was
quite a compliment TO the systematic
MANAGEMENT OF the road.

jected TO an expert analysis IN order to
determine why he (Vanderbilt) had
been able to amass fortune, while he
(the caller) was practically Denniless.
The page summoned an officer, who
took the young man TO the station house.
In his pockets was found card bear
ing the name John j. Lingman, GIG
East Eleventh street; also member
ship card OF the Young Mems Christian
Association. The prisoner was taken
to the Yorkville Police Court this morn

LEEsBURG, FLA, December 81
Nearly 1000 armed men III Lake county
are securing the woods between the
Florida Central and Peninsular railroad
track and the shores OF Lake
Paine in search OF fugitive negro
murderer, and about as many negroes
with Winchesters, are scattered about
this place and suburbs proclaiming that
they will protect him from lynching If
brought in here.
Just before daylight this morning j..
f. Barramore, well-known conductor
on the Florida Central and Peninsular
railroad, was shot and instantly killed
while on his train, not far from here,
by Thomas E. Mike, negro who keeps
a barber shop in this city.
IL was one of the most unprovoked,
brutal, and cowardly murders ever COM
mitted in this State. After shooting
Barramore the negro rushed TO the
platform, jumped from the train, and
disappeared in the woods. The train
was stopped and run back to this sta
tion with the body Of the murdered
man.
An inquest was held, and then eher-
iff Galloway organized posse to search
for the fugitive. They have six blood
hounds with them, ana it is the general
opinion here that Mike cannot escape.
He ran south from the railroad toward
Lake Harris.
The people still in town feel sure that
the murderer will be caught and
lynched before midnight unless the ne
groes succeed in taking him from the
Sheriff when a bloody race conflict
would be sure to follow.
The ''Leesburg Rifles" about sixty
in number, have been ordered ont to
preserve peace in town as the negroes
