FALL OF THE BAsTILE.
How tho French Holiday was Celebrated
in Paris.

How the French Holiday wus Celebrated
in paris.
PARIS, July 14.-Parisians did not
wait the arrival of July II to begin tho
celebration of the great event with
which that date is indissolubly associ-
ated-the fall OF the Bastile.
The celebration began on Sunday,
with the general conference of the
United Societies OF French Military in
struCtion which was held at the Tuiller-
les. Yesterday it was continued, when
President Uarnot, in accordance with
the invitation of the Municipal Council
of Paris, delivered an address on the
occasion of the opening for public use
Of the new Avenue de La Republique.
An enormous crowd was present to
greet the President, who delivered an
Grafton eloquently eulogistic OF the tri-
umphs Of Republicanism in France. 1t
was here that the sensational attempt
of a madman TO assassinate NJ. Carnot
occurred. 1t is conceded that had the
crowd been n less unwieldy one, or the
police for moment laggard, the would
be murderer would have been torn to
pieces. The event only served to assure
to the President such an ovation on his
arrival at Long Champs this afternoon
us be has never received before.
This, morning opened auspiciously
with sunshine and pleasant breeze.
Following the rising of the sun, the
great guns of the Paris forts began to
roar out the salute OF the army to the
republic, The artillerists had not long
been at work before, through streets
emblazoned with flags and bunting,
came swarming the citizens with their
wives and children, and by $3.50 o'clock
tho scene was remarkable one. The
holiday tide of tho big city was in full
motion and was being constantly swol-
len by streams OF people arriving from
the provinces on the trains. In win
dows and on balconies, made brilliant
with tasteful decorations, thousands of
gaily-dressed ladies sat or stood, eager
observers of the minutest change occur
ring in the animated scenes everywhere
being enacted.
Rarely has Paris seen such an out
pouring of its citizens as that Of to-day.
It was the coming forth of millions of
her children to offer up an oblation to
France. The programme of the days
events was n long one. A few OF its
features were the dedication OF the
monument to Danton in the Boulevard
OF the st. Germain, numerous and varied
entertainments for the children of the
communal schools of the city, free per-
formances at the subsidized theaters, q
gratuitous exhibition of the famous
panorama OF tho Battle Of Champigny,
and the decoration of the great trium-
phal arches and columns of the Cap
itol.
Among those who were decorated to-
day by President Carnot, in commemo-
ration of tho fall OF the Bastile, were
three Americans. They we're Mr.. Van
Bergen, Dr. Nachtel and Mr.. Schweitzer,
a delegate from the New York Benevo-
lent Society. The first two were made
members Of the Legion OF Honor, and
Mr.. Schwcitzer was appointed knight
Of the Legion of Honor.

CLEVELAND, O., July 14.-Maior Arm
strong said this morning: "The gov
ernor will be renominated on the first
ballot If at all, but we are going to make
the fight lively one from the start to
finish. Why should not Hamilton and
Cuyahoga counties with their delega-
tions representing sixty thousand votes
be heard in this convention. These
two counties alone poll about one-6fth
OF the Democratic vote of Ohio, and
their influence will be felt In the con-
vcntion."
He said that Mr.. Kline wNs not seek.
ing tho nomination, but that he would
accept it and would make the race in
tercsting for Mr.. Mckinley for the
highest office in the gift OF the people OF

PLOTTING AGAINST n1pPoLYrE.

Another Outbreak Expected In Hayti-
Why Minister Douglass is Unpopular.
New YoRK, July l4.-A correspondent
at Port au Prince, Hayti, sends the fol-
lowing, under date OF Julyl:
Criticism OF the governments acts
must be most guarded and careful. You
may hear twenty different opinions, all
most cautiously expressed, given in as
many minutes, rs to the length OF time
which will probably elapse before an.
other outbreak will take place, but all
not purposely OF different speech arc
unanimous in declaring that another
outbreak will occur.
Legitime, Magninat, Prophete and
Piquet are now in Kingston, Jamaica,
that hotbed OF HAytain lnsurrectionists,
but twenty-seven hours sail from here,
plotting to gain control OF the Haytain
Government, but each is working in his
own interest. Rumor has it that OF
them all NIagninat has the largest fol-
lowing, but his party just now lacks
money and needs more men capable OF
bearing arms. Were the four leaders
to unite there is little doubt that they
would be able to do something effective.
Just now they are engaged in game OF
watching and waiting.
United States Minister Douglass sailed
from here for the United States on June
81, his wife accompanying him. Before
leaving Mr.. Douglass announced that he
was going away on sixty days leave OF
absence, but before going he sold all his
household effects, and 1t is reported
here that he has been recalled. Amerl-
cans in Hayti will not regret this TACT.
Mr.. Douglass has not proved to be a
complete success Us minister to this
country. He is said to have not only
allowed himself to be swayed by Hay
tian influence, but has given more at
tention to the question OF the ele.
walton OF the negro and his mental
and physical ability, US compared to
that on the white man, and to the study
of the Haytian and American negro,
than to the questions gravely affecting
United States interests in this repub.
lie. He not only lacks backbone and
determination, but suffers by reason OF
his race origin, the Haytians do not en-
tertain the same respect for one OF their
own race from q foreign country which
they would accord to a white man.
Furthermore, Mr.. Douglass possesses
no knowledge OF the French language
a grieyous dcfect-especially in dip
lomat in a country where no other Ian.
guage is spoken.

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 14.-In the
Courier Journal Hon. Henry Watterson
answers n recent Washington letter in
the New York World In this letter
occurs the passage "Watterson's per-
sonal dislike of Gov. Hill may justifia-
bly, be very strong"
Mr.. Watterson says: The editor OF
the Courier Journal has not the smallest
personal dislike OF Governor Hill. II
the governor and his friends are satis-
fed with the episode referred to, as
suredly Mr.. Watterson has no desire to
disturb their equanimity. In the mean
time, however, he does not regard the
governor as a probable, perhaps not
even possible, Democratic nominee
for President in 1892, and for the tol-
lowing reasons:
The reasons condensed arc
First-That there is a widespread
feeling, unfounded though it be, that
Cleveland was defeated by some deal in
New York, with which Hill was con-
nected. Those who believe this may be
turned from following after Cleveland,
but they will not support him. In 1850
the party rclinquished Samuel
J. Tilden. But 1t did not rally to John
Kelly. The cases now and then are, OF
course, mot parable, and yet there is like
ness enough to make the one serve to
point the moral for the other.
Second-Governor Hill is not in SYM
pathy with the great Democratic move
ment for tax reform. Where he stands,
now that the issue has been universally
accepted by Democrats and made ex-
plicit and clear, is still doubtful, but
during the struggle when there were
enemies inside the party Governor Hill
was the enemy Of progress.
Governor Hill will be felt in the
next Democratic convention, but on the
side OF destruction, not Of creation. He
may hope to defeat Cleveland and make
New York decide tho final resnlt. This
must leave the governor in the unpleas-
ing role of managing politician-cold,
unfeeling, vengeiul and narrow-une-
quail to the requirements OF the hour,
or the inspirations OF his party and the
people, merely selfish, short-sighted
man, incapable Of sacrifices, or generous
impulse, or large conceptions OF any
sort.
,,Goyernor Hill is not-a likelihood for
the nomination. For any hope for that
he must show himself to be better
man than the country thus far believes
him to be. Governor Hill knows rs
little of public affairs and men as
Cleveland did on coming to the Presi-
dency, but is said to be u bright man.
In that case he may yet profit in time
by the kindly yet unpleasant counsel
rtven him.

LAST HOPE OF HARMONY GONE.
At a meeting of the anti-Campbell
faction, held this evening, the commit
tee which had been appointed reported
in favor of opposing Campbell to the
bitter end, and preventing the usual
courtesy OF unanimous nomination
when his success should bo assured.
This persistent opposition is the sensa-
ton OF the town tonight and has de-
stroyed the last hope OF harmonious
convention.
The committee on resolutions will be
in session nearly all night preparingtho
platform upon which the coming cam
paign is to be fought. Up to this hour
most OF the most important points have
been decided except the silver question,
which promises to create a prolonged
discussion in the convention. The tariff
plank is founded upon that OF last year.
1t is likely that u plank favoring the
free coinage OF silver will be ultimately
adopted by the committee, but If so u
minority report will be presented OPP
posing free coinage, and recommending
that no partisan declaration whatever
be made on the silver question.

CAPE MAY, N. j., July 14.-on last
Saturday the President and Cardinal
Gibbons accidentally met on the board
walk here, and there was cordial greet
ing between them. After brief walk
they came in front of the Presidents
cottage, which Mr.. Harrison invited the
Cardinal to enter. In the courBe of
pleasant conversation OF about half
hour, it is stated that the President
introduced the subject OF the Cahensley
memorial. He gave his opinion quite
freely on the sub ject and said that while
having no disposition to interfere in
church matters, he was glad to have an
opportunity for expressing his satisfac-
ton at the published remarks Of the
Cardinal and ut the merited rebuke ad-
ministered at home and abroad to for
eign interference in our domestic affairs.
The Cardinal, it is said, was deeply i'm
pressed and very much pleased with the
Presidents views on the subject.

Drive Him Away.
PLAIXF1ELD, N. j., July 14.-Miss Har-
riet Richardson, who lives in her
fathers house, in Race street, North
Plainfeld, had a young woman friend,
Miss Della Lathrop, visiting her over
Sunday.
Tho young women had pleasant
evening entertaining callers, and it was
late when they retired. Theywere just
doing Oft when they were startled by
hearing the crash Of window pane.
Then they heard the window slowly
raised, and man leNped into the room.
The girls were almost paralyzed with
fright, and were absolutely unable to
cry out. When the man began to at
tack Miss Richardson. her companion
sprang at him, and the girls fought
fiercely. They soon saw they were
struggling with a negro. The Wig
orous attack confused the scoun-
drel, and he ran to the
open window, stepped on the roof
OF the porch and let himself down to the
ground. The screams of the girls at
tracted the attention of Marshal Rut-
ledge, who was on his beat, and the as
sailant ran right into his arms. He
gave his name as Samuel Johnston, and
said he came from Newark. He was
sent to the Somerville Jail to await the
action of the grand jury.

MADRID, July 14.-The attempts of
the Madrid tradesmen to boycott the
notes of tho Bank of Spain have failed.
Many cafes and business places con-

tho demand increased with rush, but
on the whole the day passed quietly.
The bank has taken ample measures in
Madrid and in the province to have
enough silver to meet the emergency
without touching its gold reserve.

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, July 14.-Con-
gresham NJ. F. Elliott, OF Northern
Pennsylvania, IN intimate friendof Gov.
B.F. Hill, is here, and to-day talked
quite freely. He announced that there
was no feeling Of enmity between
Cleveland and Hill. The latter, he
said, was quite satisfied with
the senatorial honors OF his State and
had little idea Of opposing Mr.. Cleve-
land for the presidential nomination.
There are two factions in the New York
Democracy, one for Cleveland and
one for Hill. Long before the
Democratic convention of next
wear they will harmonic and
Mr.. Cleveland will receive the solid
support of tho Now York delegation.
Talk OF any other outcome Is the merest
bosh. Mr.. Hill is not at all anxious for
the nomination. and will do all in his
power to help Cleveland. This l know

which is now in session here. This
matter came up last evening towards

a heated and almost violent argument,
turned over to special committee to

showed that over one-half of them
favored amalgamation. 1t was also as
