PARIS, March 26.-Tbe Marquis de
Villenevue has sent the Figaro the report
of an interview which he says took place
in 1866 between the late Prince Napoleon
and Prince Bismarck, which that paper
published today. In this interview it is
asserted that Bismarck proposed to close
an alliance, offensive and defensive, be
tween Prussia and France which would
make these two powers the dominating in
iuence in Europe. The combined powers,
according to Prince Bismarck's plan,
should proceed against Russia to drive
the Slavs back to the steppcs IRON which
they came. Prussia should absorb the
whole of Germany aud France should
make Belgium a part of her empire.
Then the great allies should undertake to
weaken the power of Great Britain py de-
priving her of her colonies, and should
endeavor 20 reduce Italy, Spain and the
Scandinavian countries TO the role of satel-
lites to themselves. This brilliant prOpo-
sition, the Marquis de Villeneuve says,
was laid before Emperor Napoleon III by
Prince Napoleon, but the emperor re-
fused even to discuss il

IMPROVING MAIL FACILITIES.
Increasing Demand for IA Doubled
Service In and Out of CHEYENNE.

Mr.. Nichols, chief clerk of the railway
mail service, has returned from a trip to
Chicago. Mr.. Nichols was called East to
consult with the general superintendent IN
regard to improving the mail facilities
over the Union Pacific. He and the gen
eral superintendent talked over several
plans for improving the service, but no
definite action was decided upon. The
probabilities are that alter the new appro-
priations are available the mail service
into Cheyenne will be much Improved.
The mail handled over this route
amounts to about thirty tons per day, and
the present service of two cars will hardly
accommodate the mount Of business
The Union Pacific mail route has a good
friend at headquarters in Capt. White
the general superintendent, who at one
time had charge OF this drvlson, and 1t is
expected that shortly the mai! service will
be improved by more cars and an add
tional mail train each way every day.

Spht 'AAAhFAN WV AAaN
ScoTTDALE, Pa March 26.-The coke
regions have been in an uprOar all day
over the posting of a sliding scale last
night by the Fricke company, Mcclure
and other concerns. The Fricke CONT aDy
is an nor concern, controlling two
thirds of tie ovens in the district, while
the Mcclure company owns some 1000
ovens. The manager OF the FrIcke com
panY says that OF seventeen works in
which they posted notices yesterday ten
are working TODAY. 1t is claimed by the
operators hat they are paying ~ per
cent more wages than any coke region 10
the country. The labor leaders are dis.
mayed at the unexpected desertion OF so
many strikers. At the LeisinrinG works,
the strikers who remained out raided the
yard, putting the wOrkmen to flight, sew
eral OF them being injured. Tonight the
region is filled with apprehension a. to
the result of this determined and uneX
pected effort at resumption. The opera
tors will rave a regiment OF deputies If
necessary. The strikers are determined
and the majority united, while the men
who are going back to work are either
desperate foreigners who have no fear of
the strikers, or men who are actually
driven to work by poverty and perhaps
hunger.

come to light. When Martin. who was
crazed with liquor, broke away from his
companions n sealed the fence it was
done after he had Used such language
as I'm going to do the president" His
companions feared that in his reckless
mood he would do some rash act. As
soon as he started over the fence one oil
his companions, one Earle. ran around 10
the front of the executive mansion to no
tify the officers that Martin was coming
toward the rear of the building.
Before he could tell his story a crash
was heard in the rear. Policemen Ken.
ney and Dubois made a rush for the win
dow. Martin. WHO is an athlete, struck
Kenney a heavy blow which nearly
stunned him. The president. who heard
the crash, was upon the scene in a few
seconds, aud if he bad not assisted the
officers there would no doubt have been
more trouble than there was. President
Harrison, seeing the difficulty the men
had in struggling with the powerful young
fellow, cut away one of the rOres that las
tened a curtain and with the officers as.
sistance bound Martin securely. The
president tied the knots himself and made
a neat Job of it, as he was much less ner
vous and excited than the others who
had been in the struggle.
Since the affair happened the prcsi-
dent has been visited by at least n score
of people who have begged him TO inter.
cede in behalf of the unfortunate young
man, but thus far, so far as known, the
president has taken no action in the mat
ter. The president, it is raid. does not think
Martins conduct should 90 without any
punishment. II Is asserted, however, that
the president IS not DESTROYS of having
him sent to prison, aud for that reason
the charge of a~ssaulting Policeman Keuny
will be fled if hii counsel will agree IA
enter a plea OF guilty. with the under
standing that 4 fire will be imposed.

KANSAS CITY, March 26.-A special
to the Star from Topeka. Kan, says:
j. w. Henthorn, a newspaper reporter,

dynamite explosion investigation commit
tee this morning. He testified hat at the
time of the explosion he was the city edi-
tor of the Winfield Telegram. and in a
consultation with the editor and owner OF
the paper it was decided that the Repub
lican party should be charged with the
cause Of the explosion. He wrote and
sent to the Chicago Times, st. Louis Re

patches which appeared in those papers
in October, 1855, charging the Repub-
lican party with the explosion. He said
he had no information whatever on which
to base his charges aud that his dispatches
were without foundation. The dispatches
