Name Given an Organization That Has De-
veioped Out OF the Panama Scandal.
NEW YORK. Dec. 30.-Ths Tribune's Paris
correspondent says: Tho French. who
have q genius for political nioknames. have
already found one for the new alliance be-
tween Socialists and Anarchists and the
new committee of public safety. They call
it the Little Terror Ii looks, no doubt,
at present. little enough. So did the reign
of terror one hundred years ago in its
earlier stages. When the interviewer
asked for the address of citizen Andrieux.
the president of the recent meeting
at the Maison Du Peuple, be was
given two-one of them at q wine
shop. the other more private. Citizen An
drieux at once said that the whole affair
had been exaggerated. They were organ
Izing, but that was all. But he owned
that the sections in the Eighteenth ward
had for some time been ready to march ct
the first signal. and that there would be q
secret meeting to-day. the press to be ex-
eluded. He secuted the notion of an ALI
Rnce with Anarchists. but omitted TO ex-
plain how three notorious Anarchists hap
pened TO be present at the meeting, or how
they got on the new committee. As TO the
march on the Elysee that was merely a
hgure of speech.
Citizen Allemane is of the opinion that
, really good revolution. ought TO make
itself. There should be- no leaders. not
even NJ. Allemane. He declares that the
public rs at the mercy of any sudden out
break, but does.not believe In violence at
present. Citizens RousseIl and ALBERT
said much the same thing. Citizen Vlblant,
who IL q municipal councillor, was not at
the meeting. Asked what he thought OF II,
he answered, 1t is good time for Social
lists and ayowed his sy with those
who would set up q soclalistic republic.
The Anarchist. ". George, was interviewed ID.
He does not care much about committees
of public safety. He has other means of
action, as Ravachol had. and as the Irish
lrreconcilables have. Still he will attend
the committe. Just TO see what these chaps
have got in their bellies But nothing, in
NJ. Georges opinion. will do any Good but
dynamite.
do you mean to 90 on with itf' he was
asked.
"'Certainly.' was the reply. And there
is. | think, no law under which q French
man who announces his intention of blow
ing you up tomorrow can be arrested.'

HOLDING A BABE FOR BOARD.
Mrs. Hepburn. an Opera Singer. Loses Her
Child-Was Taken for Debt.

Mrs. Hepburn, who says she is q member
of the Wilbur Opera Company. created a
sensation in the office of the Occidental
Hotel. where she had registered during the
day as Mrs. jackson. She had com to the
hotel In the morning and made arrange
ments for q room with q fire. About 4
o'clock in the afternoon, she entered with
q child in her arms. ten months ola. and
accompanied by her attorney. Judge Nor
ton. After going to her room, nothing
was seen Of her for several
hours when she went out. leaving
the babe alone in her apartment. She re-
turned about 8 O'clock in the evening. and
was handed II note by clerk Moore. IL In
formed her that her babe had been taken
away by Q Mrs. Hess. who was accompanied
by attorney jesse Hamrick, and that she
could meet Mrs. Hess az Hamrick's Office in
the morning. Without q sign of warning
Mrs. Hepburn fell back in q dead faint. 1t
happened that Ben Elder, night clerk at
the Grand Hotel. and Lafe Weathers, night
clerk at the Spencer, were standing near.
and as she fell they caught her and
saved her from a 4 painful W shock ,Ss
assistance of others. she was carried no TO
the parlor, and then to her own room.
where DIR. Franklin Hays was called to see
hex. 1t required diligent effort to revive
her, and then ner nervous system seemed
very much unstrung.
The opera singer is the mother of the
child, and on account of her business was
obliged to leave 1t in charge of Mrs. Hess,
who lives at No. 81 Margaret street. When
the opera company was here Mrs. Hepburn
was taken sick, and temporarily left the
company. She boarded. Is Mrs. He's says,
at her house. and became dissatisfied. She
wanted to take the babe away, but not
having paid her own or the babes board.
there was some contention upon that point.
She then applied to the police for assist.
ance, and was referred to an attorney. with
the result that she obtained her child, as is
already related. 1t Is said that she was
very much excited and worried all day
yesterday, SO shat she did not eat any
thing. and when she found her babe gone
again she was easily overcome. No one
could be found about the hotel
who knew when the babe was taken
from the room. 1t Is thought that when
Hamrick and Mrs. Hess called to see Mrs.
Hepburn in connection with the board bill,
they found the babe unprotected. and car
ried it away. The Board Of Childrens'
Guardians, il is said, will investigate the
Caso.

BosToS, Dec. 30.-Apropos of the New
York World article of yesterday. which
stated that a fund of S2,5O0.OOO was scat
tered through the United States by the
Panama canal promoters. and that Mr.
Nathan Appleton was De Lesseps' right
hand man mere. Mr.. Appleton Is reported to
have said that at that time be was very en-
thusIastic IL the matter. believing then, as
be does at present, that the Panama route
is the best. II cannot attempt TO go INTO

frst l have seen of il and have not the time
to read il carefully. 1t seems. however. TO
be written by some one conversent with
the details and II generally correct. DE
Lesseps came here TO secure the co-opera-
tion Of this country. He felt that this
country would receive by far the greatest
benefit of ell Others by the work, and that
it was fitting taat the two greatest repuD-
lice shonld Join hands in it, He was greatly
disappointed that it did not approach 1t In
that spirit"
Asked if he thought DE Lesseps had any
knowledge of and sanctioned the use OF
money In buying the approval OF news
papers and legislators. Mr. Appleton re-
piled: Il do not. / do not believe that
any member of the board of directors voted
n dollar Tor such purposes. The thing
grew 90 sue proportions, sc many wneeIs
developed within wheels that finally IL got
beyond them, and Intrigues brought about
the calamity. What really broke the conf

thing Tor the United States to do Is to tako
this work ont of the hands of France. This

about $780, go 900. The work is in a condi-
ton TO be easily pushed to q finish. If We
do not do SO the French will probably
finish il. aud that will hurry up our gov
ernment at Nicaragua. and the result may
be that we Will have two competing canals,
