Gov. Flower Lets the Labor Leader
Out of Prison.
ALBANY. N. Y, June 4.-Gov. Flower
has granted pardon to Baroudess. a labor
agitator convicted of extortion.
The pardon was granted on an application
made by ex-Distrct Attorney Goff, a num-
ber of representatives OF labor associations
and others. Gov. Flower, in granting the
pardon, said: "As this was practically test
case, and there having been so much differ
ence OF opinion in the courts as to the
act committed by Barondess being
crime, 1 will pardon him, although
it might be understood in the future that
the act committed by Baroudess was finally
decided by the courts to be q crime"
BArondess was greatly elated when in-
formed that the governor had granted him
pardon. He said the granting of the par
don by Gov. Flower will doubtless satisfy
the people that he was really not criminal,
although the courts held that his action in
behalf Of the striking cloakmakers was

Senator Hawley also reserved his opinion

proper Mr. Blaine's motives may have been
they are certain to be misconstrued and

REVOLUTION IN FRANCE
THE BIG PANAMA CANAL SCAM
DIAL BRINGING MATTERS
To n Dangerous Crisis which may Lead
to Civil Strife Trouble in the Sem
ate-MisceIlaneous News.

Paris cable: M. Floquet, president
of the Chamber of Deputies, announced
to the House that he had received an
application for authority to prosecute
NJ. Rouvier, eX-minister of finance; NJ.
Jules Roche, ex-minister of commerce.;
Emmanuel Arne, Antoine Prouse,
Baron Jean de Soubeyran and Joseph
Dugue de III Fauconnerie, members OF
the chamber, all of whom are charged
with having been mixed in the Panama
scandal. The application could not be
granted without the consent of the
House, as the deputies under the law
are exempt from certain legal pro-
ceedings. The Chamber decided that
the different bureaus should meet and
consider the application. The. sitting
then adjourned.
In the Senate NJ. lie Roger, president,
stated that he had received demand
for the prosecution of Senator'S
Renault, Albert Greyy, Beral, Thew
enet and Deves for the part they have
taken in the affairs of the canal COM
pany.
When the Chamber resumed business
there was intense excitement in the
Hobbies. NJ. Rouvier attempted to
make an explanation of his connection
with the Panama company, but evaded
the issue and his voice was drowned
out by the shouts Of protest and he
was forced To cease by the hostile
demonstrations. NJ. Deroulede then
made an attack upon DIR. Herr, declar-
ing that he was a traitor to his country
in that he had sold his influence to
foreign power NJ. Deroulede also
declared that M. Clemenceau was
guilty of bribery and other crimes in
connection with the Panama scandal.
Bedlam broke loose ut this point
and there were several personal en-
counters. The chairman attempted to
call for order, but was greeted by Kisses
and calls for the dissolution of the gov
eminent. The lie was passed between
Nj. Deroulede and NJ. Clemenceau. NJ.
Lucien Millevoye made an attack upon
NJ. Floquet, the chairman, who was
trying TO restore order and called him
by insulting names.
The bitter feeling aroused during
the sitting led to many wrangles and
tumultuous scenes in the Hobbies of the
chamber and il is believed that a mum
Der of duels viii be the result. Depu-
ties Deroulede and Millevoye at once
sent seconds 10 Deputy Clemenceau to
demand satisfaction from him for In
suits heaped upon them in the heat Of
the quarrel.
Those who are best informed and
whose judgment is soundest on politi-
cal questions are the ones who fear the
worst. The head of one of the great
est banking houses in the world, with
headquarters in Paris, said To one of
the American delegates to the Brussels
conference:

any conception of the dangers of the
situation. The temper of the people is

not discriminate between the govern

The Pope Is Pleased.

Rome cable: Mgr Satolh has sent
to Cardinal Rampolla an important
letter containing the two decisions and
report of the proceedings of the
American bishops conference and
Rampolla has replied without delay,
expressing the pope's satisfaction with
the communication and giving further
instructions regarding Satolli mission
to the United States. A high church
authority says that the vatican is in
fact well pleased with the decisions of
the conference on the scholastic ques-
tions considering them at once moder-
ate and tending to union and peace.
This satisfaction is all the more lively
seeing that the resolutions are in
harmony with the precise instructions
given by the pope to Mgr. Satoll. The
pope would have opposed absolutely
any result of the conference tending to
hamper his policy of pacification or TO
encourage dissension between Amer
lean sentiment and the episcopate,
between religion and the state.

Only One-third of That for Actual Work.
Paris cable: According To the state
ment issued by the liquidators, the
amount expended by the Panama
canal company reached the enormous
total of $3.50, 900, 900. NJ. Achille Mon
chicourt, theulast liqu:dator, placed
under the following heads the sums
expended: Preparatory work and
organization, S35, 200, 900; concession
and general expenses, Sl2, $780, 900; ad-
vertisements, taxes, etc, SIT, 500, 900;

900; paid to shareholders as interim
interest and invested for payment of
lottery bonds, S54.200,0 900.
According TO this account not the
whole of the $500, 900, 900 has been lost.
One-fifth of this sum has been repaid
to the subscribers in the shape of in
term interest. Then there are assets
represented by the fourth, fifth and
sixth items. These cost little over
$40, 100000 and their present value is
estimated at about S14, 900. The
other three items, amounting to little
over sos, 000,0 900, are total loss. OF
the whole amount expended only a
little over one-third was spent in the
actual construction of the canal.

Hon. George II. Shaffer, commissioner
of the state land office, has submitted
TO Gov. Winans his very interesting
and valuable report, covering the bust
ness transactions of his Office for the

acres of land held 10y the state at the
beginning of the year was 4S3, 1875, l29;

acres held by the state at the close of
the year, 470, 1856, ITO.

and from other sources were 500, 3l1.07.
According to previous reports the adj
justment of the swamp land grant has
been delayed for nearly 80 years, and
while repeated efforts have been made
to secure patents for lands, the title Of
which has passed TO the state under
the swamp land act of September,
1850, there still remains over 1,00O,0OO
acres unpatented. The commissioner
says that it is to be regretted that this
matter is held in allegiance, as the ben

well as private individuals is sufficient

possible, patents for lands which right
fully belong to the state, so that they

Commissioner Shaffer says that early
