LOOKS DARK FOR FRANCE.
The Enemies of the Government Trying
XIII the Republic.

That there are serious times ahead
for the republic of France cannot be
denied. The expose of the great
Panama canal scandal has prccipitated
such a storm about the heada OF the
government leaders that they scarce
know what steps 20 take. over 100
members of the chamber of deputies
are implicated in the bribery cases and
the rottenness of the official world
reaches almost To the presidents chair.
The scenes in the chamber OF deputies
are as stormy rs that country, (which
has seen 30 much internal strife has
ever been called upon To witness. Each
day those in opposition TO the republic
bring out some new criticism upon the
government and its adherents until ~
became q matter of doubt If the minis
try could stand. After very fiery day
of oratorical pyrotcchnics NJ. Milleyoye,
of the opposition, called Tor vote OF
no confidence in the chamber OF depu-
ties and there was very decided move
ment on the part of the government
members 10 evade the vote, but IL was
finally taken and lost, thus sustaining
NJ. Ribot and the cabinet. This viii
doubtless bring a great many uncertain
people to the side of the government,
but does not alter the fact that the
opposition are also strengthening their
forces in many ways.
The Bonapartists are stepping to the
front To take advantage OF the dlfiical-
ties Of the republic The activity Of
the Royalists aroused the jealousy of
the impearialist leaders and at IA secret
conclave they drafted manifesto ad-
dressed to the people of France, urging
%, h.. h1.,g4. of a,-fA To he
throne. This manifesto awaits tho APP
proval of Prince Victor, the present
recognized head of the eX-imperial
family. Prince Victor is now in Brus-
sells and the Bonapartist leaders in
Paris have sent agents Ia shat city to
induce him to sign the ,aanifesto and
authorize it's publication.
Should the Bonapartists act, it is ex-
pected that they will attempt to strike
q blow in Paris, rather than in the
provinces. They, like the Monarchists,
are being gradually watched, and
every movement is reported to NJ. Ribot
and President Carnot. Not SO much
Importance is attached by the author
tiles TO Bonapartist as TO Monarchist
agitation. The ancient royal house
has still a large following in the
provinces, as shown during the recent
visit of the countess of Paris to France,
when hundreds thronged to kiss her
hand and she was received at various
places with all the loyalty and honor
that could be shown to q queen. This
following could easily be aroused into
a formidable demonstration that would
cost much trouble to suppress, and the
royalist cause would receive the SYM
pathy Of hundreds of thousands OF
swindled Panama stockholders.

Tho "Run" on Gold Has Ceased.

Information has been received at the
treasury department 10 the effect that
the financial furry in New York is prac-

there is no longer any prospect of a
panic. Money is reported easy and ex-

point, so that the heavy expectations
of gold are not likely to continue.
Secretary Foster said $500, 900 in gold
has been taken out of the treasury.
lie is confident, however, he said, that
this gold will soon be returned with
interest through the regular channels
of trade. He said that there is really
nothing alarming in the situation, and
that stocks apparently unsettled now
will readily adjust themselves.

Then Occupied the Old Mans House.
A terrible tragedy has just been un-
earthed in the town of Brannan, about
10 miles from Ogema, Wis. John An
derson, IA years old, son of Maurit2
Anderson, ran away from home about
two weeks ago and took brother aged
10 and his fathers gun with him.
They went to the house of neighboring
farmer, Marcus Homefeld, settler liv-
ing alone. John proposed 10 his brother
that when Homefeld came home in the
evening that they kill him and live in
the house all winter in true robber
style. In accordance with that plan
the older brother hid himself behind
the haystack, and when Homefeld came
put two charges of buclSshot into his
head, covering his body with hay and
proceeded to take possession.
Two weeks afterward brother-in-
law of Homefcld went to the house and
found the boys there. They told him
Homefeld was in the woods looking
after his traps. He waited until the
next morning and then went home,
taking the younger boy with him.
Arriving home he questioned the little
boy and drew the whole story out of
him. A party was organized, but on
arrival at the scene of the murder the
assassin had gone.
