give details. When pressed to be
more explicit he confined himself
to mentioning the name of q former
minister of agriculture now dead. He
added that he could not furnish a list of
deputies implicated, as he did not have
material evidence, but only moral proof.
He gave the names of several banks,
which he declared could possibly give evil
dence. The managing editor of La Libre
Parole was examined in regard to the
charges made in the paper against Proust.
He declared that only NJ. Droumert. the
editor who is in prison could give any
information.
Proust, deputy from the depart. sewers
denied having ever received money from
the Panama Canal company. The commit
tee decided to request the minister of JUS
tiee TO permit Droumert to be brought be-
fore it for examination and also the request
of the minister to place before the committee
whatever evidence in the Panama canal
case he had in possession with a view of
ascertaining the truth Of the statement by
De Lahaye that documents bear the
names of over 800 persons who
were subsidized by the Panama
Canal company. Finally the COM
mttee decided to ask the government to
ask the cause of the death of Baron
Reimachsy, ordering an autopsy ana in
quest and to cause the Baron's papers to be
examined. The Indictment remains un-
published. 1t was not presented to the
court and is unlikely to be accessible be-
tore the trial is begun, in January.

British Delegates Want to Run
the Conference.
An Early Collapse of the GlsdstOnian Gov
eminent Is Appreciated, as No Phi
vale Bills are prepared.

LONDON, Nov. 25.-Sir William Vernon
Hsrcourt, chancellor of the exchequor, has
instructed the English delegates to the
Brussels conference to expediate the de-
alterations 80 as to bring the conference
to an end within q few weeks. 1t is
learned from high authority that if the
conference is prolonged beyond three
weeks the leading English representatives
would return TO London, leaving less i'm
portant members to watch the proceedings.
Advices from Brussels show opposition
to the prolonged debates opened with the
English delegation, and they only finally
consented to sitting On each alternate
day on finding that they stood alone. The
incident created q commotion among men,
bers of the conference and Brussels
officials that the British delegates
want to take up the meeting,
or cause it to fail to achieve definite re-
suits. They received q decisive check,
however, as majority of the delegates
eVince every disposition to go thoroughly
into the matter until IL is examined TO the
bottom.
Gladstone will return to Hawsrden on
Thursday. Though the cabinet does not
resume councils until January the ministers
and committees will continue to meet. The
industry of the ministers is Unprecedented,
but an unmistaksble symptom Of general
apprehension of an early collapse of the
government is found in the fact that al
most no private bills are being prepared
for parliament.
Lord Roseberry, British foreign sec
rotary, has announced to the French
government that the present cab
met had adopted the policy of

Drunken Desparadoes Take Possession Of q
Railway Train and Injure Several
Passengers and Trainmen.

Ell PAso, Tex, Nov. 25.-Rosalio Co.'S
tello was hanged in this city this afternoon
for the crime Of rape On the l1th OF Sep
TENDER, 1891, he assaulted little Mexican
girl nesr the town limits. and most cruelty
and brutally outraged her, leaving her in
such condition that her health has never
recovered. He was captured few days
later near the town of Yeslete and was
soon afterwards put to trial His final
trial came on during the present term Of
the district court, ana he was sentenced by
Judge BDckler on October ., 1892.
Costello is an almost pure blooded Aztec
OF the most brutal tyre. He is about 80
years old and has lived in the United
States about six years. most of the time
near this town. He has been previous
ly tried for q similar crime, but
the evidence adduced at the trial WAS
only circumstantial aud lie was acquitted.
Since his sentence ne has been visited by
the Catholic clergy and also by DR.. Mer-
chand. a French Catholic recently con-
verted TO the Protestant religion. The
condemned man was finally led to denounce
the Catholic faith and accept the creed Of
the Baptist church as preached by Mer-
chand. He was then taken in chains. about
week ago, and under most sensational
surroundings was baptised IN the pool Of
the First Baptist church.
These circumstances were then used to
work on the public and petition for q
Communication of his sentence was circu-
lated aud many signed it. The press of the
city opposed The Communication, and Gov
ernor Hogg, after respiting him one week,
refused further interfere. Yesterday
Costello sent again for his priest made q
confession, denounced Me-chsnd and died
in the faith of his fathers. This is the sec
ond legal execution in the history of this
county. the first being that of Brinston
nine years ago for the crime Of rape.

A STRANGE CASE.
A Lawyer Furnishes a Client in
Jail with a Gun.
The Lawyer Arresled-1ha Case Called for
Trial-A Witness Is Absent and Con-
tinuance Is Granted.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. 25.-ISpecial
telegram to The HERALD. THE case OF
the state against Frank D. Taggart has
been put over to the next term of the dis
Jrict court. Tageart was a prominent
young lawyer of this city, who had been
retained as counsel for Kinch Mckinney,
q notorious cattle thief. After McKinney's
trial and when he was sentenced to long
term in the penitentiary he moved heaven
and earth to gain his freedom. Finally all
other schemes falling, he gave Taggsrt
$500 TO get him q revolver and a box Of
cartridges. Taggsrt did so, but Mckinney
chose a wrong time to attempt his escape,
which was narrowly prevented. For over
eight hours he held the jail officials at bay,
shooting at the sheriff and his deputies
several times. He was finally induced TO
give up the gun when he saw escape was
impossible. Taggsrt's attorney managed
to secure continuance on the ground of
the absence of material witness who. he
makes oath, will swear Mckinney was
only given the gun after swearing not to
use 1t in the jail.

common expectation that President Har-
rison will include in his next message to

establishment OF a national quarantine,
Joseph Nimmo, late chief Of the bureau Of

ne holds that as the government has as

of the principal sources of infections it

power OF Congress to do this and then pro-

BLAINE'S CONDITION.
His Physician and Family Deny that He Is
Dangerously Ill

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Blsine's condi-
ton is nEain the subject Of universal in
,erest, today. made SO oy the publication
of statement that his ail-nent had taken
turn for tho worse and that his life was
in imminent danger. If the physicians
and members of the family are to be be-
lieyed, such statements ara not warranted
by the facts. AS near as can be learned,
the attack from which Blaine is now suffer-
ing is similar and no more dangerous than
those which preceded it. He caught cold
and was lmprudent in his diet. Some con-
gestion followed, and there was fever in
train. The stomach was made torpid and
there was difficulty in digestion.
Notwithstanding reports TO the contrary,
it can be said that Blaine has shown no
symptoms of mental alteration or de-
leriun. There has been much difficulty
encountered in the effort to get reliable
news as 10 his condition, which fostered
the origin and spread OF exaggerated stories
