PARIS, May 3.-The details Of the labor
trouble at Fourmies have immensely heigh-
tened the political Importance Of the Incl
dent. The fact that six women, several
children and eight men were killed on the
spot, and 20 seriously wounded, several
fatally, gives the offair the character Of
massacre. The soldiers were merely ex-
posed to stone throwing. but replied with
successive volleys from the new Lebel rifles,
inhicting frightful wounds on the victims.
The houses exposed to the fire, were riddled
and every sign Of reckless and wanton in
humanity was shown by tie troops. The
local popular commotion Is intence and finds
response In the growing excitement of every
working centre. Fourmies tonight is prac-
tically in state of siege. Cavalry patrol
tue streets and everywhere are greeted with
yells Of Teprobation from excited groups Of
men and women. The tension OF iuo,,.cs
may be judged from the fact that the mill

The Affairs of Mr.. Prince.

LEWISTON, May 2-It is a. well known
fact that the late Hon. Rufus Prince of Tur-
ner had the management of large number
OF estates on his hands as executor, admin
istrator, guardian, etc. Since his death there
have been rumors to the effect that the es-
tate Of Mr.. Prince might not be sufficiently
large to settle all these estates, and that the
bondsmen would have to be called upon. In
vestigations thus far go to show that these
fears are groundless.
Judge Savage, administrator of the estate,
was today asked if so far as he knew there
was any ground for the rumors that there
might be deficits in any of the estates of
which Mr.. Prince had charge and he replied
that there was not.
