fBY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH,

LONDON, Jan. 10.-Eyraud, the strangler,
who is awaiting the gulllotine in La Ro-
quette prison, is probably glad of the new
charge of murder against him, since, if a
legal inquiry is made into the matter, it
will delay his execution. However, he de-
mics the crime thus tar, and declares that
though he knew Breuil he had nothing to
do with his death. This admission, if it is
not made for a purpose, establishes
a remarkable coincidence, or else
helps to demonstrate the theory
that the murdered mans brother,
who makes the charge that his brother was
killed by Eyraud, was led to suspect him
because he took the name of Breuil a; Lyons
when he and Gabrielle visited that town to
dispose of Gouffe's body, arguing that the
man who took another's namc is apt to as
sumo that of some person he had had deal
lngs with. He arrived at the conclusion
that Eyraud had known his brother because
Breull is not common name, and made the
charge against him.
To-day's Paris Presse publishes an inter-
view between the condemned man and one
or his Jailers. "Why," asked the jailer,
"did you travel so long a time under differ
even DeIOTe Tue 0Ouue
10 escape my creditors" replied the
strangler. The first intimation that Eyraud
had that he was charged with another crime
was when the jailer asked him the next
question. "But why did you select such
curious names? Why did you tell Gar
anger that your name was Vannaert; and
why at Lyons, did you say it was Breuil?"
On hearing this name the condemned man
changed color, but he replied: "It was pure
accident. Breuil and Vannaert were names
OF men 1 met here and there as I did
Garanger in America" Pressed to tell
where he knew Breuil, Eyraud said that he
did not remember, but that he thought it
Eas In Paris, and that he knew nothing
about his disappearance.
The affaire Goutfe is still the sensation in
Paris, and will be until after Eyraud's exc
cution. Already little group of touts has
established itself at the Place de La Roquette,
waiting for Monsieur Paris" to begin 10
put up the guillotine, which is the first out
ward and visible sign that the doomed mans
hour is approaching, when they will descend
into the city and sell the precious informa-
ton.
The Musee Grevin in Paris is exhibiting
the most ghastl y work ever presented to an
enlightened public. 1t is an illustration of
the affaire Goufe in several scenes. One
represents the victim with Gabrielle, while
Eyraud stands behind the curtain with the
cord. The strangulstion scene is presented,
and the murderer and murderess are also
represented cutting up the body and putting
II into trunk. The last scene presents Ga
brielle sleeping peacefully with the trunk
opened beside the bed and the head and legs
of Gouffe, bound together, projecting above
the lid.

Treachery to a Trusting Woman.

fBY DUNLAP's CABLE CoMPANY.]
LONDON, Jan. 10.-An instance Of cow
ardly treachery TO trusting woman has
just come from the English Colony in
Rome, In which it has created great deal
of gossip. A young Englishman of pietis-
tic propensities, who is settled there, and
was profoundly impressed by the imposing
ceremonies of the Catholic church, was in
duced by some Benedictine fathers, with
whom he was acquainted. to take the VOWS.
Shortly afterward he Quilted his convent at
Subiaco to make visit to London, previous
to quitting the world definitely, in which
city he made the acquaintance of young
and beautiful girl, with whom he fell
desperately in love.
Unmindful of his sacred vows of chastity,
the weak young man married the girl at a
registry Office in st. Georges parish. After
brief and delightful honeymoon, clouded
only by the rebukes of his conscience, he
returned to his convent; saw his brother
monks, and in his pitiful weakness, yielded
to their remonstrances and rejoined the
order.
Two days ago the deserted wife received
letter informing her that her husband,
having taken the first vows, was devoted TO
the Church, and could not betray his sacred
vocation. To this end he had retired to
monastery in France to expiate bv prayer,
penance and modification of the flesh, his
awful sin in marrying her while under the
shadow Of the cross. The forsaken bride of
month rushed frantically to Rome in
search of her recreant spouse, only
to fno that She was left
penniless in a strange land, and that the
crowned and robed disciples OF the meek
and lowly Jesus, who had not known where
to lay his head, would not recognize her
claim nor give her the least assistance.
Broken hearted with shame and desti
tuition, the poor girl was slowly starving to
death when some charitable woman of the
Anglo-American A colony happened to find
her out and raised a subscription to send
her back to England.

A Plan TO Close Hudson Bay to American
Whaling Vessels.
ESPECIAL TELEoRAM TO THE DrsrArcH.,
OTTAWA, Jan. 10-Commander Gordon,
of the British Navy, and in charge of the Do
minion fishery protective cruisers. is here
making his report to the Minister of Marine
and Fisheries. He recommended that, in
view of the rapid depletion of the
whale fishery in Hudson Bay by American
whaling vessels, the Dominion Government
should pass legislation, closing the sea
waters for period of ten years, so as to en-.
able the small whales to mature
He also points out that these American
whaling vessels do large trading business
among the natives in Hudson Bay, paying
no duty and coming in competition with the
Hudson Bay people who have
to pay duty. Commander Gordon also
says there is large amount of
smuggling done in this way, and in view of
the manner in which Canadian sealing YES
sells have been treated in Bering Sea, thinks
that the Dominion Government should not
hesitate to protect the interests of Canada in
Hudson Bay.

dyed material is beautiful brown. In
France many of these articles are greatly
used in gout establishments, and one of the
valuable purposes to which peat wool can be
put is as surgical dressing, and various
medical uses in the same way as cotton
wool, the French army medical staff having
already discovered its beneficial utility. 1t
keeps wounds healthy and clean, and its
natural absorbence is helpful to degree in
that it kills the dreaded microbe. For vet
erinary purposes it is also commanding an
extensive sale.

As clothing for the million and as do
mestic articles the products of peat fiber are
going to solve great economic question on
the one hand and fight natural wool for the

inventions of which we speak have opened
up the means of clothing the half-naked
Irish folk. both on the wild Atlantic sea-
board and in the depths of the agricultural
districts and mountain lands, and of enabling
them to give some semblance Of comfort and
decency to the wretched novels they call
homes. The peal industry will supply them
with cheap patent fuel and material for
packing garden and dairy produce. 1t will

with gigantic national industry.
Surely what is possible out of Ireland is
practicable within, among race not lacking
in the spirit of enterprise and the quality OF
ingenuity which are the essentials of COM
mercial progress and industrial success. The
Irish peasant is, as we know, rooted to the
soil upon which he has been raised, and in
this splendid industry, once opened up, he
can levy tribute upon the virgin soil which
he regards with such unalienable affection.
A great capitalist in Ireland now has the
matter under consideration and he is satisfied
that the evidence will satisfy him in poiut-
ing his friends to the infinite possibilities
before Ireland if her great industry is de-
veloped and if her leading men have sufh-
cient patriotism to take Dame Nature by the
hand and turn her to account.

Continued Lease of Life
BY CABLE TO THE DIsPATcH.i
LONDON, Jan. n.10.-Another Cabinet Min
lister, Viscount Cross, Secretary of State for
India, has declared that the Government has
no intention to dissolve Parliament this
year. But the Tory election agents and
wire-pullers continue quietly and assidu-
ously to work upon the assumption that a
general election Is within measurable dis
tance. The Governments original idea, it
is well known, was to hang on to Office at all
the cost of dignity and prestige tor full
term of seven years, of which two years have
yet to run. in the hope that Gladstone's life
would not last so long. But the Grand Old
Man has proved remarkably tough old
man, and even in this winter, the severest
experienced during hi= so years of life, he
maintains his bodily strength and mental
vigor apparently uhimpaired. ~, .s
To all, appearance, therefors Gladstone
will be in at the sseptennial act; and most
Tories are 1mpatientiy wondering why the
Government fears to ia ,. the country at this
time when the enemy's dissensions afford a
splendid opportunity. which may not be
vouchsafed again. Political spectators
may safely place their money upon the
wire-pullers rather than upon the noble
Viscount.

LONDON, Jan. 1O.-The railway strike in
Scotland. SO far as the most important road,
the North British, is concerned. has not
changed much during the week. The direc-

present an unyielding front to the strikers,
who profess an equal determination.
Manufactures and collieries are closing
every day, owing to the want of fuel and
raw material, and it is estimated that 90, 900
men have been thrown idle. In conse-
quence. fuel and food are reaching famine
prices in all the districts served by the
North British, and much distress prevails.
The company is moving passenger traffic
fairly well, however, and it may yet win.

represented at the Worlds Fair at Chicago,
be received in France? This is a question
which is beginning to be asked in this city

The United States Minister Whitelaw Reid,

RIbot, the Minister of Foreign Alfalfa who
will, in turn, hand 1t to NJ. Roche the Minister
of Commerce, Industries and the Colonies
Matters similar to exhibitions are under his
control. Nj. Roche will lay the invitation be-
fore his colleagues and then will be determined
what is to be done in the matter. The first
thing brought up, undoubtedly, will be the Nc
kinley tariff legislation. France as you know,
is greatly irritated over this measure, and it
must have some effect upon the way the cabi-
net will treat the invitation.
