The real object of the meet

is to be made to draw Blaine into the
presidential race That was definitely
decided upon. AS soon as General
Clarkson reaches New York he will pro-

secret conference will be held with
Blaine. At this he will be shown by
convincing figures that Harrison's
strength has been greatly overestimated
and his nomination would invite Repub-

WASHINGTON, May 20.-Recent con-
ventions seem to bave turned the tide
pretty effectually in favor of Cleveland,
and it now looks as though the ex-presi-
dent would have the convention at Chi
cago all his own way. There is no de-
nying that where there is opposition to
Cleveland it is very intense; but then it
comes from such Democratic states in
the South as will vote for the Democrat
ic nominee whether it be Cleveland or
any other man. The anti Cleveland
men still insist that some other man
must be nominated, and Burke Cochran,
Hills right-hand man, insists that the
nomination of Cleveland so far as New
York is concerned would be very dan
gerous experiment. Mr.. Springer thinks
it is becoming clearer every day that
neither Cleveland nor Hill could be
nominated.

An international Episode.

Although 1t is now twenty years since
the Germans repossessed themselves OF
their ancient territory of Alsace and Lor-
raine, they have not succeeded In establish
ing pleasant relations with their neigh
bors over the border, and 1t is doubtful IL
they will so long as France has memory
and the story of 1901 is part of his
tory.
The French people along that border
land actually take delight in making faces
and gibing at the German guards on the
other side The German guards return
the dislike with interest, and they manage
to make themselves entirely disagreeable.
August lehman (the name is German,
but the young mans sympathies are
evidently French recently had occasion to
enter France near frontier town. The
German guards eyed him SO suspiciously
as to arouse his anger, SO as soon as he felt
| himself to be on French soil he placed his
| thumb against his nose, derisively wiggled
his fingers at the German soldiers and
| climaxed his contempt by shouting out:
'Viye la France! yol. cursed beer swill.
| ers.''
Now this was very improper on the part
of Lehmann. but no harm might have
come of it had he remained thereafter on
French soil and out of the reach of Ger.
man justice. Unfortunately for him. soon
after this he had occasion to recross into
Germany, and it was bis i'll luck to run
against the guard at whom he had made
faces.
Lehman was at once arrested and car
ried before a German judge then sitting in
the criminal court at Cohniar
The charge against the Frenchman was

When called on to plead, lehman said:

But" said the Judge, ''yos confess that
you shouted out the seditious cry, 'Vive la
France, and called the troops of the en-
pire beer swillers and pigs"
"True, your honor" replied iIehmann; II
did shout those words, but claim that /

"Ha, 100 feetl Well, sir, the human
voice, under proper conditions and when
exercised by Frenchman, can be heard
good many hundred feet. Is not that
true?" -.----
II suppose so," said Lehman.
"And you confess that your words, shout
ed on French soil, smote the ears of Ger.
man soldiers in their own country?"
"Yes"
VERY well, sir" said the judge. This
court comedies that you have perfect
right to agitate French air in any way the
French government permits; but it also
holds that no matter where you may stand
that if you agitate Gerrnan air with sedi-
tious lines that you are guilty of an insult
to his imperial majesty, my master"
lehman protested against this opinion.
but it did not avail. He was sentenced to
three months Imprisonment, and SO he
had a season of ample leisure to think over
German justice, and to examine from all
sides the fine subtleties of the German
mind.
