The Consul at Havre Arrested Him, but He
Slipped Through French Fingers.
PARIS, May 24-The following facts have
been learned in regard to the arrest of
Thomas O'Brien, the American buukoist,
who after his extradition from England
was sentenced in Albany, N. Y, to ten
years Imprisonment for robbing man of
$4,000, and who subsequently made his
escape. Secretary Blaine sent cable dis
patch Saturday to Henry Vignaud, the Sec
tary in charge of the American Legation
during the absence of the Minister, telling
him it was thought O'Brien was on the
French steamer Marseille, which sailed
from New Orleans May l for Havre, and
calling upon him to cause the fugitive's
arrest. Mr.. Vignaud saw NJ Ribot, the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Pretect
of Police, both of whom promised to do
their utmost to aid him in capturing
O'Brien.
Mr.: Vignaud telegraphed to the Ameri-
can Consul at Havre, informing him of the
expected arrival of O'Brien. When the
Marsellle arrived Saturday a watch was
kept on the steamer, but O'Brien made no
attempt to land that day. Sunday he was
allowed to disembark, the police not max
ing any effort to stop him. The Consul,
however, found him on train, arrested
him and delivered him to the police, telling
him he was a dangerous man. The police
promised to detail two gendarmes to guard
him. Yesterday the Consul learned the
police had let O'Brien take walk Since
that time he has not been seen.

Balfour's Challenge to Gladstone.
The issues are clear on their side. II
rests with Mr.. Gladstone to make his clear.
lCries of 'Hearl Hearp'1 The Government,
MIR. Balfour said, had shown by acts and
deeds and fulfilled legislation of measures
that it still earnestly desires to accomplish
what 1t aimed to do. What Mr.. Gladstone
desires to do, no human being knows. If
the Government had cleared the issues,
as Nh. Gladstone said, let him do his part
by placing before the electors of the country
the policy which ne desires adopted.
[Cheers
A division was then taken and the bill
passed to its second reading by vote of 339
to 24I. The result of the division was re-
ceived with prolonged Conservative cheers
Ine debate greatly increased in interest
when Mr. Gladstone arose to speak.
Mr.. Balfour's challenge to Mr.. Gladstone
to disclose his home rule scheme to the
electors evoked cheers from both the
Unionists and the Parnellites.
Several Radicals voted with the Govern
ment. The Conservatives are delighted at
the solid majority they obtained. The Lib
erals do not conceal their disappointment at
the result of the division, the blame for
which, they say, was the absence of so
many Irish members. Out of % Parnell-
ties only 16 voted, and out of So Mccarthy
ties only 3S voted.

FIRES, FAILURES AND RAILWAY NEWS

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCH.l
UNIoNTowN, May 24.-At the meeting
of Trades Councils held here last night, they
decided that unless William Custer was dis
charged by Laughed, Modisette s. Co. at
noon to-day, they would order out all the
bricklayers, plasterers, painters, stone cut
tiers, etc., employed by that company.
When committee from the Trades Coun-
Gil visited the works at noon to-day, they
found Custer still at his bench. The man
agement was called upon and they declared
that Custer was at work, and, furthermore,
that he was going to stay at work. A gen.
eral strike of all the men employed by the
firm was then ordered.
The management at once started to work
to secure men to take the places of the
strikers Tonight they have secured sew
eral who are willing to go to work, and they
say they can get all the men they need to
run their business. Several of the men en-
ployed at the works did not want to strike,
but their objections were overruled by the
Visiting Committee and they finally threw
down their tools and quit the shop. All
the strikers are seeking work elsewhere, as
it is the general opinion that the firm can
get all the men they want.

OUSTING CAPITAL SQUATTERS.

| A Resolution to Take Possession OF the
Waterfront at Washington Startles the
Merchants-The Government Wants to
Occupy Its Own Land.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May pa Special ]
"A resolution offered in the Senate to-day
by Senator Mcmillan, Chairman of the
Committee on the District of Columbia, has
startled the citizens of Washington almost
out of their boots. The resolution is the
first step by the Government in the di-
rection of taking possession of the entire
front of the city which, it is claimed, be-
longs to it by right but which merchants,
ship owners and others have occupied for
many years and which, no doubt, they think
they own by right of squatter sovereignty.
The resolution authorizes and directs the
Chief of Engineers of the Army, on behalf
of the United Stat es, to take possession of
all the lands, W harf and wharfage property
lying between the long bridge and the
Arsenal wall, and extending from Water
street on the north to the Potomac river on
the south. This property the Chief of En-
gineers is to hold and keep just as though
it were the property Of the United States.
He is authorized to call upon the police
force of the District, if necessary, to aid him
in carrying the resolution into effect. 1t is
provided that parties desiring to enter into
contracts for use of said portion of the said
property may within 80 days from the pas
sage of the resolution take a lease thereof
from the Chief of Engineers for term not
exceeding five years, for such compensation
and in such conditions touching occupancy
and payment of rentals as the Chief of En-
gineers may approve.
AS the property in question includes all
there is of coal docks, steamboat wharves.
lumber piers, warehouse sites, etc. in the
entire District of Columbia, the introduc-
tion of the resolution will be apt to create
CONSERVATION in the business commu nifty.
The legal advisers of the Government, it is
understood, say that the occupants of the
water front property have no sort of title,
and that the Government has the right to
demand rental for every foot of the prop
erty covered by the terms of the resolu-
tion,

A NEW PARTHENIA.
Julia Marlowe as a Very Gentle Tanner OF
the Savage Barbarian.

Julia Marlowe as Very Gentle Tanner OF
the Savage Barbarian.
Julia Marlowe is a somewhat new Parthe-
mia; a simpler, more girlish and softer
souled vision of Ancient Greece than most
of her predecessors have made the character.
1t is performance one must enjoy, even
if it hardly have the range of emotion
and sharp contrasts in mood that some
ing maiden who, like music, tames the savage
breast is embodied by Miss Marlowe with
tenderness and touching pathos to
the full 1t is only in the flashes
of fire, that should momentarily
blaze in that maiden heart, that Miss Mar
lowe is little weak. Whether this is due
to the delicate state of her health or nor
NAL limitations of physique is not clear. In
the love passages and the famous definition
of the divine passion, Miss Marlowe was de-
Gciously natural, and in everything she was
artistic. The grace of her-p poses and move
ments was marred by the superabundance of
the Worth of Massilia-that's certain.
Still, she made pretty picture oftentimes
Last night in her performance of Pdrthenia,
Miss Marlowe received excellent support
from Mr.. Robert Taber, who as hlgomar was
earnest and evenly dramatic in his delivery,
and thanks to a fine figure and fine voice
pleasant barbarian withal. The play con-
tains but these two considerable parts,
though the grotesque figure of Polydore was
outlined cleverly by H. A. Weaver, Sr.
The mounting of the play showed signs of a
long seasons hard usage, but was fairly
effective. In the romantic drama the eye
should be seduced by scenery and stage
pictures, so that the mind may have no
greater task than the swallowing of the inn
possible in plot and the superhuman in Ian
guage. But without such seduction "Ingo-
mar" as played to large audience at the
Grand Opera House last night was very en-
joyable. Several recalls showed the audi
ence' liking for Miss Marlnxe,s work

BRUSSELS, May PA decree was pub
lished to-day, containing declaration that
the King approves the resolution recently
adopted by the Senate and Chamber of

dissolves Parliament and fixes June IA as
the date for holding the elections.
There are several articles of the constitu-

Article %, under which there is project
for introducing the referendum system,
This latter question is held to be more i'm
portant to Belgium than the extension

tor Devised the lncandescent Light.


NEW YORK, May 24-The answer of the
Sawyer-Man Electric Light Company in the
suit brought against it by the Edison Elec-
trio Company, was filed to-day in the United

descent lamp and AYERS that the improve
ments claimed by him were known prior to
the filing of his patent at Washington. 1t
