Threats to the French.
NEWS FROM THE EUROPEAN CAPITALS

BERLIN, April 20.-Herr Jaeger, chief
cashier for the great banking house of the
Rothschilds at Frankfort. is q defaulter.
Jaeger has succeeded in defrauding his en-
ployers Of over 1000, 900 marks. He has
held the position of chief cashier for II
years. Some time ago he was missing from
his post, and as the time elapsed and he did
not appear partial examination of his
books was made. This has resulted In a
declaration that he Is an absconder. The
cashiers Office Is closed and experts have
been employed to examine and revise all
the books of the bank.
Jaeger has been missing since Thursday.
No particular attention was paid to his ab-
sence, however, as it was thought he was
spending the holidays with his family. The
first suspicion was aroused to-day when the
keys of the strong boxes were sent to the
bank with note stating that he had left his
home.
A London reporter visited the Roths-
childs' banking house in that city to-day to
learn further particulars regarding the re-
ported embezzlement He was told that
nothing is known by the London house of
the affair; In fact, his questions conveyed
the first knowledge that Jaeger had been
declared an absconder. The greatest sur
prise was expressed that such long tried
and presumably faithful servitor had proved
to be dishonest. The London Rothschilds
declined to say anything further concerning
the matter until they were informed as to
all the facts by the Frankfort house.
Herr Jaeger's father had been head CASH
Ter of the Rothschllds' house for 40 years.
The absoondlng cashier is married and has
several children. The long connection Of
his father and himself with the great bank
ing concern had won for the younger Jae-
ger the respect and esteem of the members
of the house. 1t Is reported that he specu-
lated in the Bourse, and that his ventures
proved unsuccessful To this fact is at
tributed, in great measure, his downfall

TOM REEDS BLUNTNESS

Prevents Vermont Republicans From In
structing for Harrison-The Presidents
Name Not Mentioned by tho Ex-
Speaker When ON Tour in the Green
Mountain State.
MONTPELIER, VI, April 20.-rSpeeial !
An interesting story has Just leaked out
in connection with the Republican State
Convention which was held here Q week
ago to-day. Ex.Speaker Reed made two
speeches here, one at Burlington in the
evening, and one at the First District Con-
vention in Rutland, the next day. From q
Republican standpoint they were all admir-
able speeches, but it was the occasion for
some comment that in none of them did the
distinguished Congressman make any refer
ence to President Harrison nor to any Of
his advisers.
There were plenty of reasons given why
the Republican was to be preferred to the
Democratic party, but with all the praise
the ex.Speaker gave the former organization,
the present administration was neither
mentioned nor even indirectly referred to.
It seemed to many that this omission was
the result of studied effort on the part of
Mr. Reed.
The State Committee, during the custo-
mary preparation of debate, was consider
ing the propriety Of incorporating in the
resolutions which the delegates would be
asked to adopt clause instructing the dele
gates-elect to support the President for re-
nomination at Minneapolis. Mr.. Reed in
some way heard Of the proposed step, and
he did not hesitate to express his disap-
proval thereof He is reported to have
spoken something after this fashion:
''Gentlemen, not word will say if
such instructions are given" The dele
gates were accordingly left uninstructed,
and the people heard Mr.. Reed.
From Vermont Mr.. Reed went to Maine,
and it seems to be the general opinion that
his visit to the Pine Tree State was for the
purpose of securing an election as dele
gate at large to the Minneapolis conven-
tion, an honor which has been kept from
him for several years bv the friction be-
tween himself and Mr.. Blaine's friends and
Senators Hale and Frye.
It is believed by many here that Mr.. Reed
not only wants to be q, delegate to the Min
neapolis convention, but he would also like
to preside over its deliberations If Presi-
dent Harrison's friends are in tho majority
there, the Maine Representative is not
likely to have the latter honor thrust upon
him.

pared supper for the family. Mrs. Carter

the house. After supper all the members

DAH0MEY's sAUCY KING

Threatens to Clean Out French African
Posts II They Make a Move.
PARIS, April 20.-An official dispatch
has been received here from Porto Novo,
stating that King Behanzin, Of Dahomey,
has written letter to the Governor Of
Porto Novo, in which he says he is quite
prepared for any move France may make,
and warns the French that if they touch
any of his towns he will destroy Porto
Novo and all the French posts in the Blight
of Benin. Large bodies of Dahomeyans
have returned to the left bank of the river
and are approaching Porto Novo. In addi-
tion to these forces large native force is
concentrated between Godomey and Abo-
mey, the capital
If King Behanzin should decide to take
the initiative in opening war, there is no
question that the safety Of the French pos
sessions will be seriously threatened. The
exact number of the French force is not
known, as reinforcements have been hur-
ried to Porto Nova from St. Louis, Senegal,
but it isn't believed to amount to more than
1000 men. Other reinforcements will be
dispatched as quickly as possible to defend
Porto Novo, Kotonou, Grand Popo and
Agoue, and as soon as the French are in
sufficient force it is believed an advance
will be made on Abomey. King Behanzin
can, it is said, place in the field force OF
5000 trained warriors well versed in war
fare.

A CRANK-s INFATUATI0N.
An English Actress Turns Upon a Man Who
Has Bean Pursuing Her

An English Actress Turns Upon a Man Who
Has Been Pursuing Her.
LONDON, April 20.-A dangerous crank
named Alexander Sharp, a middle-aged
man, was arraigned to-day on the charge of
threatening to kill Miss Louie Pounds, q
well-known actress here and sister of
Courtice Pounds, the tenor now singing in
''The Vicar OF Bray" at the Savoy Theater.
Miss Pounds has been annoyed for several
years by Sharp, who desired to thrust his
attentions upon her.
This is not the first time he has got him
self in trouble. In November, 1890, he at
tempted to shoot Miss Pounds with re-
volver. For this offense he was arrested
and sentenced to a years imprisonment
This did not seem to cure him of his lnfatua-
tion for the actress, for shortly after he was
released he began to write letters to her re-
questing her to meet him. Miss Pounds, of
course, paid no attention to Sharp's effu-
sions. He then adopted other tactics. His
letters, instead Of requesting Miss Pounds
to meet him, took on threatening tone.
He finally wrote several letters in which he
declared that If she did not meet him he
would either shoot her or spoil her beauty
by throwing vitriol in her face. Miss
Pounds attached little importance to the
letters written by Sharp prior. to his at
tempt to shoot her, but when he again be-
gan to write after his release from prison
she was fearful lest her undoubtedly crazy
admirer would attempt to put his threats
into execution. She therefore put the mat
ter into the hands Of the police and Sharp
was at once arrested.

MORE TREMoRs IN CALIFORNIA.

vacaville Again the Center Of Disturbance,
but Shocks Are Lighter.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, April 20.-Vaca-
vile and the adjoining sections of the State
which were the scene of disaster resulting
from the earthquake of Monday, were again
visited last night and early this morning,
though the shocks were less intense than
those of the preceding night. People are
commencing to clear away the debris and
repair the buildings. The general senti-
ment is In favor OF more secure foundations
and thicker walls No one was seriously
injured in any of the four towns which suf-
fered from the earthquake.
There have been three shocks of earth
quake at Winters since the big one of yes
terday morning, the one at A. NJ, another
at A. M. and the last one at 4 A. NJ In
the creek one mile above the town, are fis-
sures from one to six inches wide, from
which gas escaped, making . loud, kissing
sound. Water was thrown out of the creek
on the banks on either side to distance of
% feet by the explosion. The solid banks
on each side of the creek were broken off for
IS yards and thrown into the creek, almost
filling up the bed. There is not house in
town that is not damaged, some being be-
yond repair. The Hotel Devilbiss is badly
wrecked, as is the bank and the Masonic
Hail. Ground floors OF two-story buildings
suffered most.

BAY STATE REPUBLICANS

Indorse Harrison and Blaine and Demand
Protection and Honest Money.
BOSTON, April 20-The Republican
State Convention for the election of four
delegates at large and four alternstes to the
National Convention at Minneapolis, June
81, was held at fremont Temple to-day.
Hon. William O. Lowering, Of Taunton, was
Permanent Chairman. He declared the
New England manufacturers are perfectly
satisfied with the Mckinley law. The plat
form declares first against free silver, then
says of the tariff: "Whatever amendments
OF our tariff laws may be from time to time
demanded by our changing financial needs
should be made by the friends and not the
enemies OF protection" Civil service re-
form is the next thing demanded, followed
by plank for national bankruptcy law.
Harrison was heartily Endorsed. Great ap-
plause greeted the mention Of his name, as
we'll as that of Blaine, in whose favor q
special resolution was passed.
The delegates selected were: W. Murray
Crane, William w. Grape, William Coggs-
we'll and j. @. A. Bracket. The following
alternates were then elected: M. J. Murray,
Hon. Howes Norris, Butler r. Wilson and
Hon. H. Torrey ;Cady. The delegation is
uninstructed, but favors Harrison.

other side, refutation of the oft-revived
fake" that he will accept if nominated:
Mr.. MageeS statement, in brief, is that
when calling on Mr.. Blaine recently the
subject of his nomination for the Presi-
dency came up, and the Secretary stated
with emphasis that while he felt well COM
pared with his condition some months ago,
he was not strong, and did not believe he
could live through campaign. He would
under no circumstances accept the nomlna-
tion.
This is precisely what has gone to THE
DISPATCH from its Warrington Bureau,
without deviation, for months, and even
previous to the issue of the Secretary's let
ter, the assurance being given BY no less an
authority than the writer of that letter. The
periodical issue Of stories of Blaine's re-
newed ambition to be President are posi-
lively contemplate, and, If for no other
reason, for the reason that the writers man
ufacture the stuff without q shadow OF
ground for it in fact
HiIps straddle Of the Silver Question.
Senator Hills friends in the East
an1iously deny that his vote of yesterday
on the Kyle amendment to the bill APPROX
ing the Arizona funding act was an indisa-
tion of his position on the silver question.
The fact remains, as I said last evening,
that the Senators in voting whether the
interest on the Arizona bonds should be
paid in gold or in "lawful money Of the
United States" ranged themselves in &C
cordance with their views upon the none
tary question. Those who favor the su-
premacy of gold voted, to a man, against
the amendment providing for payment Of
interest in 'lawful money of the United
States" and those who favor equality Of
silver with gold and virtual free coinage,
voted for the amendment
The probability is that, as have limited,
Senator Jill saw his opportunity to play
friend to both sides of the question, and the
gossip to-day shows that if that were his
purpose he has well accomplished it, for the
silver men are claiming him with enthusi-
asm, and the gold bugs assert that he has
in no way committed himself to free silver.
In the midst of this tast-and-loose sort of
tactics it is pleasing to reflect that there is
no doubt about the attitude Of either Cleve-
land or Harrison on this silver question.
Delegate Marc Smith explains to-day that
the reason the bill was constructed to make
the interest on the bonds payable in gold is
that the present rate is 10 per cent, and that
if made payable in gold 1t can be reduced to
per cent. This is certainly remarkable,
in view of the fact that dollar in silver
will now purchase as much as dollar In
gold. Is 1t a new scheme of Wall street
to 'bear" silver?

8 MINERS DROWNED.
Water From an Old Working Rushes
Into an Anthracite COlliery.
TEN OTHERS IMPRISONED ALIVE.
Fifteen Feet Of Solid Coal Between Them
and Their Friends.
RESCUE IN PROSPECT THIS MORNING

PoTTsvILLE. April 20.-Another horror
to the many hundreds of mine accidents
that have occurred in the mining regions,
was added late this afternoon, by the food
ing of part of the workings Of the Lytls
Coal Company's colliery, seven miles from
Minersville. By this accident it is given
out that eight men have lost their lives,
while the existence of those of two others
are in jeopardy. Six of these are Italians
and the others Americans.
The Italians, under Contractor Caravelli,
were driving gangway 175 feet In front of
the main slope, which is down $50 yards.
Two others, named John Zerbe, of Llewelyn,
and James Dolbin, of Forestville, expert
enced miners, were engaged at timbering.
These are the ones drowned:
Miners Imprisoned but Alive.
Two others, named John Buggy and
William Bell, were inside at the time and
first attempted the rescue of their COM
panions. Seeing this was futile, they en-
deavored to release the mules. About ten
of the miners were caught by the water and
fled to high part Of the gangway, where
they were imprisoned in what is called the
saddle of the vein.
They are alive and can be heard tapping
on the coal. On hearing this rescuing par
ties were at once put at work cutting pas
sage way through intervening barriers to res
cue them from higher level There are
to be Is feet of solid coal between the res
cuing party and the men. 1t is hoped the
men will be reached between-midnight and
morning.
The water that caused the calamity broke
in from an old working, notwithstanding
the operators had taken every precaution
keeping drill holes driven ahead to dis
tance Of 120 feet. The water came through
O chute where two men had been working
during the day, who quit at 8 o'clock be-
cause it was too wet to work.
Where the Water Probably Came From.
1t is supposed that this water came from
the old Primrose vein workings of McDon-
aids 1t is hard to account for the breaking
in of this water at this hour, as the colliery
officials and District Mine Inspector Gay
heve been exercising every preeaution to
prevent it.
The quantity of watEstaunot be ascer-
tanned, but by the means of extra pumps
rugged up since the accident the water is
already fast receding. The Lytle Company
is corporation, the principal stockholders
of which are the Pennsylvania Railroad
officials and Scranton capitalists. The res
cuing party who were cutting a cross-head-
ing through to..the Saddle" in which two
of the miners were supposed to have
broken through, took out William Bell alive
and sound at 10 o'clock. The work OF rescue
is still going on.

JUNIOR BEALs' ABDUCT0RS

Confess Their Crime, and Say q Denver
Lawyer Profited by the Ransom.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 29.-Lizzie
Dennis and Malvin D. Sipole, two of the kid
napers of Banker Beals' 2-year-old child
last winter, had their trial to-day. Both
pleaded guilty and begged for mercy. Judge
White sentenced the woman to two years
in the penltentiary and gave sipole four
years.
During the proceedings each prisoner
made full confession. They both stated
that Robertson, the Denver lawyer with
whom both had previously been implicated
and received the S., 600, making away with
the whole amount, and leaving them to shift
for themselves
