PARIS, 12.-The Paris papers devote
some space to considering the results
of the recent Republican national con
vention at Minneapolis. The Siec "a
takes the ground that the reelection of
Mr.. Harrison means continuation and
what it designates as the aggressive pro-
lection policy, and expresses the hope
that Mr.. Cleveland will succeed him.
La Patrie is of the opinion that Mr..
Reid's nomination is owing to his sue
cessful accomplishment of his diplomatic
functions as United States minister to
France.
The journal des Debats considers it
has good sound reasons for believing
that Mr.. Cleveland will, if nominated at
Chicago, succeed in winning the presi-
dental race.
M. Tirard, formerly minister of fin
ance, in an interview today, said: ''Mr
Reid took with him back to America
the warmest regards of everybody
who knew him here. If a foreigner may
express an opinion, I will say that I hope
Mr.. Reid will be elected
The Soir favors Mr.. Cleveland for the
presidency and says the election of the
American Machiavelli, Mr.. Blaine, would
be source of constant vexation to for

Variations in Climate.

In the capricious climates of our tenn
perate latitudes Just determination
and comparison form a batting task.
Observations, more OF less systematic,
with instruments, have been made of
Genealogical features for about 100
years, but on general cooperative plan
they have been carried on imperfectly
for less than third of that time, or
about the period within which some OBJ
servers suppose round of meteoro-
logical changes is accomplished for a
Engle locality. Popular opinions are
founded most largely on haphazard rec
objections Of vague impressions that can
not be depended upon; and even if we
had accurate records IN place of these
they could not be used to determine the
trend Of climate on account of the short
time they cover.
It has happened more than once dur
ing that time that series of seasons Of
peculiarly marked character has been
followed abruptly by series of opposite
character, nuIifyig the conclusions
that may have been taking shape from
the former series. The speculations con-
cerning decrease of rainfall in the
United States in consequence of the re-
moval of the forests have been disturbed
by the recent prevalence in part of the
disforested area of a succession of sea-
sons of heavy and continuous rains

HALF A MILLION IN 1T.
Detective Palmer Says He Has Found
Fields Fortune.
OTHERS MUST HAVE HELPED
TO HIDE THE MONEY.

The New York Broker Took Everything
Detective Says that, when Paid. He
Can Put His Finger on Much of the
Stolen Property.
NEW YORK, June 11.-Frederick Palm
er, private detective, of 314 East And
street, is the man who recently informed
Lawyer Joseph /. Green that he had
traced the whereabouts of $500,00O worth
of securities belonging to the defunct
firm of Field, Lindley, Wiechers & Co.,
that had been secreted. He repeated
this assertion to a number of reporters
iu Mr.. Green's Office today. He claims
to have been working six months on the
case, with two associates, and says he
got his first clue in the Hoffman House
from a confidential clerk in a bank in
another city. He says the old firm of
Field, Lindley & Co., was in financial
straits when the new firm of Field, Lind
ley, Wichers 6 Co., was formed, and
that nearly all the capital that came into
the obligations of the old one. There
remained, he asserted, hardly more than
$4,000 capital when The new firm re-
sumed, but all the old debts had been
paid up credit had been restored, and
Mr.. Field was enabled to begin number
of large and bold operations.
Palmer believed there were no actual
peculations until the August preced-
ing the failure of the firm. From that
time on, said Mr.. Palmer, Field took ev-
erything he could get by forgery or any
other means and proceeded to put it in
places of safety. He hypothecated stocks
and bonds, sold them and bought others.
He re-hypothecated securities and en-
ployed every possible device to make
it impossible to trace operations until he
had finally lodged at least $500, 900 in two
OF three cities. Boston, Palmer, intimat-
ed, was one of these cities. The securi-
ties consist of stocks, railroad bonds and
gold certificates. 1t was impossible, Pal
mer said, for Field to conduct these op-
erations alone, and he thought at least
ten or eleven people were more or less
concerned in them. In one place alone,
there is now, Palmer claims, $500, O00
worth of these secureties.
Having traced the securities to the
places where they are deposited, Palmer
stated he went to the assignee of the
firm, Charles W. Gould, and told him of
the discovery. Gould. referred him to
Altman Goodwin, of the firm of Wander
poel, Cumming G Goodwin, who on June
Z drew up an agreement by the terms OF
which Palmer should receive ten per
cent OF the amount he should enable the
assignee to recover provided the courts
should authorize such payment. For
some reason, this agreement was not
satisfactory to Mr.. Palmer and he decid-
ed to negotiate directly with the credi-
tors of the bankrupt firm and caused his
lawyer, Mr.. Green, to insert the adver.
tisement that has caused the present
talk about the case.
