FRENCH, NlHlLIsTS AT WORK.

Plot TO Blow Up the French Chamber of
Deputies.
PARIS. Dec. 81, l89l.-The vigilance of
the French Government in ferreting out
plots against the Gear conceived here. has
won the enmity of the Nihili SITS.
Two or three of such cons piracies have
been discovered. one of which was quite
extensive.
All those who were convicted of par
ticpation In these plots were severely
dealt with, and for some little time past
nothing further has been heard of Mill
istic plots in France.
Today, however. the people in Paris
were startled by rumor published in the
Soleu and other newspapers that an ex-
tensive plot had been discovered in the
Russian colony having for its object the
destruction of the building IN which the
Chamber of Deputies meets, and also I he
building occupied by the Russian Elm
bassy.
The conspirators. it was said. had ar
ranged to blow up these buildings with
dynamite.
Knowledge of the plot came to the
noice in some unknown manner, and an
investigation was imme lately set on
foot.
The rumor must have had some basis
in truth, for many of the refugee Rus
SLAMS residing IN Paris and the suburbs
have been taken into custody.
A number of the houses occupied by
the suspects have been searched by the

Bayonne,s Rig INirc.

Kerosene gives better light than
gas or even electricity at times, but it
is more expensive. The Standard Oil
Company lit the sky for miles around
last night, but it cost them some
thing like two millions OF dollars,
though there may be enough saved
from the wreck to bring this down a
little.
Fortunately the works were located
in an out-of-the- way place, which pre-
vented the flames from spreading to
other property. but it was that
very fact which made the
ruin so utter and the loss
to the company so heavy. Most
Of the Bayonne fire engines and other

The Old and New Year.

The old year seems destined to GO
out quietly. 1t has been a pretty
good year, as years come and go,
bringing joy to some and sorrow to
others. Our own land has been
crowned with plenty, while some OF
the neighbors at the south of us, and
across the ocean, have been visited by
pestilence and famine. earthquakes
and flood
The American people have cause to
be thankful for the blessings showered
upon them. and while they have no
cause for grief on their own account
let them drop Inetaphorical tear for
the sorrows of others as they speed
the parting and welcome the coming
guest when the old year is rung out
and the new one in. 1t may be our
turn for trouble next year. Il
