DEs MONIES, Ia, July Ex-Governor
Boies today revoked the suspension of the
sentence against Stormy" Jordan Of
Ottumwa. Jordan is the notorious char
acter against whom, at one time and an
other, $35, 900 In ines have beer assessed
for liquor law violations. Two years ago
Governor Larrabee suspended all the ines
and Jail sentences against him on condi-
ton that he would not go into business
again. When Governor Larrabee went
out aud Governor Boies came into power
Jordan returned to Iowa and has since
been running a saloon at Ottumwa. 1t is
reported hat a number of similar sus-
pensions will be revoked. At any rate
it is a decided departure which is upset
ting political calculations.

AN INTERNAL MACHINE.
Outrageous Attempt to Assas-
sinate Mime. constants,
Wife of the French Minister of
the Interior.
Interesting News Notes From
the German Capital.

PARIS, July 25.-lt became known
today that an attempt had been made to
assassinate Nine. Carnot, wife OF the
president of the French republic. She
received a package from Toulon which
contained what appeared to be a Roman
Catholic mass book. Upon an
examination OF this present" the leaves
apparently were stuck together with
varnish or mucilage. This caused n still
more careful examination to be made, and
it was found that the interior OF the book
had been cut away after the manner some
tunes adopted by s~mugglers, and the
book filed with a powerful illuminate
powder. No clew. according to the
police, has been oun to the sender OF
the internal machine, although the post
office and police authorities OF Toulon are
said to be on the track OF the perpetrator
of the outrage. No reason Is known for
this attempt upon the life of Nine.
Carnot. and the conclusion arrived at
is. that the would-be assassin really
intended to take the life OF the president,
and supposed a package to Nine. Carnot
would be carelcsslY opened by the presi-
dent, while a package addressed to him
self might be carefully opened by an at
tendant. Of course, this Is only a theory.
The report of the attempted assassina
ton is the talk of Paris. and has caused
considerable indignation. Some people
link this ALLEGED atrenpt upon the presi-
dents life with the recent defeat OF the
French government in the chamber of
deputies, with the Boulanaist agitators.
with the Alsace-L Lorraine passport regula.
lions debate. and other similar matters.
But it would not he surprising if the
whole matter would turn out the work OF a
dangerous lunatic.
LATER-The report which prevailed in
this city today to the effect that an at.
tempt was made to assassinate Nine.
Carnot, wife OF the president, by means
of an internal machine. was utterly incor
rect. in that the attempt was not made on
the life OF Mime. Carnot. but on the wife
of Constsns, minister of the interior. An
analysis of the powder which was found
in the followed part of the book received
by Nine. Constans proves that it is fnl-
inmate of mercury. a highly explosive
compound.

A Terrible Mistake.

New YORK, July 25.-A correspond
eut at Callao, Peru, under date of June
"a, writes to his paper thus: The mar of
war Pensacola, of the Unitad States navy,
has Just arrived here after an exciting run
along the CHILEAN coast, and l send you
the first news OF a thrilling accident at
africa, Chill, By which FIVE sailors of the
Pensacola lost their lives. Her steam
launch was blown up in the harbor of
africa by the CHILEAN torpedo boat Con-
dell, and every man on board killed. The
list of dead includes: O.. Smith, New
York; William Hayes. BROOKLYN: Frank
Peckham, Newark, N. j.; Arthur f
Dykeman, Pearsalls, l.. l.; Teddy
O'Rourke, Huntington, i. l.. The at
tack took place on the evening OF June J..
The Condell stole into the hsrbor OF
africa about 7 p. IN. There was a heavy
for. and objects at a distance of
100 yards could not be seen with any dis
tinctuess. The steam launch had left the
Pensacola ID the regular evening trip to
the shore, and was making her way slowly,
when suddenly those on the man-ot-war
saw the little boat lifted completely out Of
luG NdAtls 1hS luh0N AhA bllbNNu Aplu
plainly that the FIVE men aboard the
launch had been killed. The search light
of the Pensacola was brought into play.
and at the same instant orders we're given
to lower boats. The Condell was discover
ed ouly a short distance away. The
ChilIan cruiser had mistaken the launch
for an insurgent boat and had used a tor
pcdo with deadly effect,
There was intense excitement aboard
both vessels for the next twenty minutes.
Signalling continued between the man oil
war and the torpedo boat for some time
and when the situation of affairs be-
came known on the Condell her com
mander dipped his colors aud sent his
chief officer aboard the Pensacola. 1t
then became known that the explosion of
the torpedo was a stupid blunder on the
part of the cruiser. Such apologies as
could be offered were made. but the feel
ing among the comraoes of the dead sail
ors was very bitter.
Commodore Irving, coUmandant at the
Brooklyn navy yard, was seen at his resi-
dence last evening and told of the sinking
of the Pensacola's steam launch and the
killing OF five OF the crew. Il have heard
nothing of any such occurrence. > said the
commodore, and it is my belief there is
no truth IN the story. Only today L re-
ceived a letter from Admiral Mccain,
dated July 6. from Callao. He writes
from on board the Baltimore aud informs
me that the Pensacola was preparing to
sail for San Francisco. Had there been
any such occurrence az you relate he
would certainly have said something
about it"
WASHINGTON. July 25.-The navy de-
partment Is without any official iniorma
ton Of the reported destruction OF one Of
the Pensacola's boats and the killing of
five men bv a torpedo fired in africa har-
bor. Chill, by the Balmaceda torpedo
cruiser Condell. The story is wholly dis
believed at the department. June %,
two days before the accident Is said to
rave occurred. the Pensacola was at
Callso, Peru, far north of africa and sailed
directly north for San Francisco. More
over, the Baltimore was with the Pen
sscola at that time and Admiral McCann
would surely nave reported such an event.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, July 25.-A well
laid plan to kill the cashier OF the Ameri-

BERLIN, July 25.--The announcement
that Prot. Koch has resigned all the
offices held by him caused considerable
discussion and speculation as to the cause
of this action. There have been rumors

count OF the rumGred objects of the yisir

traffic arrangement will be arrived at, pro-
vided the Grand Trunk adopts a pacific
attitude towards the Canadian Pacific.
