ANOTHER PARIS sRNsaT1oN,

| A Murder Case Similar to the Deacon
 Affair, only the Shooting Was Bone by . Woman-A Guilty Hasband Barely Escapes Being Killed-The Names Of the Murderess and the Vic- tim.
 PARIS, May 23.-This city has been startled by murder that in many ways resembles the Deacon affair save that in the present case the shooting was done by @ woman. All the facts that are at pres
 ent known are that the wife of @ we'll
 known club man has for some time past
 suspected that her husband was carrying
 on liaison with the wife of an official high
 in the government.
 She kept watch on her husband and on
 Saturday night he proceeded in the direc-
 tion of the Quartier Europe. Here he
 entered house. His wife, who had fol
 lowed him, remained outside for some
 time and then entered. She was not long in discovering the apartments her husband had entered, for she recognized him by his voice as he was talking to 6 woman.
 The door of the room was locked, but the infuriated wife threw herself against it and forced it open. Inside were her husband and the wife of the govern ment official. Drawing 8 pistol she ad- vanced upon the woman, who crouched in abiect fear in @ corner of the room, and deliberately aiming at her, fired. The bull let struck home and the victim begged piteously to be spared. But she appealed in vain. Again and again did the revolver flash until five bullets had been buried in | the woman's body.
 During the shooting the husband, it is | said, stepped forward to disarm the wife, | but she turned on him and threatened to | kill him too if he advanced another foot. | The police were summoned and arrested | the murderess.
 The murderess' name is Reymond and | the victim is Lassimone Delaporte. The | murdered woman was 8 niece of Jean | Casimir-Periere. Madame Reymond, who is pretty brunette and only twenty-four years old, says Madame Delaporte was an intimate friend of hers who had separated from her husband. She herself intro duced Madame Delaporte to N. Raymond and soon after discovered that they were meeting secretly. NJ. Raymond and Mme. Delaporte had 8 meeting Saturday Mime. Raymond went to their rendezvous. She knocked at the door and cried "openI" Paul, Mime. Delaporte's husband, was down stairs. Mime. Reymond's husband partly dressed opened the door and Mime. Key mond at once rushed in. She found Mime. Delaporte undressed, and repeatedly fired at her with revolver, afterwards stsbbing her several times in the breast. Madame Raymond surrendered herself to the police She was dressed in the height of fashion and sobbed bitterly.
 In her statement the murderess said she had not slept night in four months. "I became estranged from my husband" she said, "to whom I was deeply attached, and committed this crime"
 It trsnspires that NJ. Lassimone was aware of his wife's infdelity, and had taken steps to obtain divorce. The mur- 1eress says she became enrsged because, only ten days ago, she gave her husband some valuable jewelry to sell, ostensibly to pay debt, but really to furnish an apart nenf in the Rua Rocher

The London Branch Holds a Meeting
 atwhich Several Protection Speeches
 Are Made.
 LONDON, May 23.-The London branch of the Imperial Federation league held a meeting to-day at which several protection speeches were made. Sir Charles Tupper, the Canadian high commissioner, said that free trade might have once been excellent for England, but as it was proving fatal to Canada, policy of incidental taxation had been adopted by Canada in 1878, which had been strongly conducive to the maln- tenance of her ties with Great Britain.
 If England, continued the speaker, adopted a small protective-not discrimin- ating-tariff no country would complain. Sir Charles did not believe that Golden would be free-trader If he lived to-day. He also said Canada could produce all the food that the United States now exports to Great Britain. MT. Beckett said that Lord Salisbury had struck the right note in declaring that free trade had gone toe far. He advocated plan to appesse Can. ada by taxing all rival imports from the United States.

RECAPTURE OF O,BRIEN.

The Fugitive BuncO Swindler Caught in Paris-Arrested by French Police Omcers on Landing From . New Orleans Steamer-His Anxiety About Extradition.
 LONDON, May 23.-Thomas O'Brien, the
 bunco swindler, who escaped from the GUS
 tody of officers in New York state after
 being brought from England, convicted,
 and sentenced to state prison, was arrested
 to-day at Havre while leaving the steamer
 Marseilles, which arrived in that city yes- terday.
 The steamer Narseilles left New Orleans May for Havre and Antwerp. The French police were on the lookout for him, and one of their best men was watching at the wharf. O'Brien appears to have waited on board until all was quiet before attempting to go ashore. He tried to leave in the confusion attending the removal of the cargo, and would have escaped but for the watch kept closely looking for him.
 It is said that on the way over some of O'Brien's actions led the crew to suspect that they had an escaped criminal of some importance on board, and hint was given Io GAo pollco aI daVre upon CH6 arrlV8l or the vessel. He was greatly taken back by his capture, and inquired whether the new extradition treaty between France and the United States, of which it appears he knew, had yet gone ino effect. The French officers were able to talk English, and told him that the treaty had not been approved, according to their information He was very much relieved.
 Upon being taken to the headquarters of the police in Havre he was at once sub- jected to the anthropometrical system of measurements, in order that if he escaped again he might be recognized, at least in France. O'Brien submitted with good grace, after first protesting that an Ameri- can citizen should not be subjected to suchS an indignity as having his toe nails meas ured. The police were surprised at his well-bred appearance and fine physique. Apart from taking the measurements and keeping a vigilsnt watch on him they treated him with consideration. He will be given an opportunity to fight against and he inquired as soon as he was arrested about getting counsel
 Soon after O'Brien's escape, and the re- ward offered for his capture, the news was | received in English, French and other ports. The French police have ever since | been ou the lookout for him, and steamers | arriving at Liverpool, Havre and other | p1aoae hava hoan oa rafn11y ooruf;n;sod

 NEwYoRK, May 23.-Secretary and Mrs Blaine arrived from Washington at 9:4( this evening. They were driven to the Fifth Avenue hotel, where rooms had been prepared for them. The corridors were filled with people waiting to catch 8 glimpse of the distinguished statesman. Twenty minutes after his arrival MT.

He was here for several req sons, all of which were of a private nature. One was a desire to see his little granddaughter. Another was that he sought to have an operation performed on his eyes. "Not," he added. "that it is an absolute necessity, but I concluded it would be good thing" When asked in reference to his health MT.

". H. VANDERBILT DEAD.

A Prominent Yale Man of the Junior Class Expires at His New York Home The Sad News Re- ceived in this City. NEW YORK, May 23.-W. H. Wander bilt, son of Cornelius Vanderbilt, who had been i'll for some time past with typhoid fever, died at 10:15 o'clock to- night at his fathers residence. He was twenty one years old and contracted the disease at Yale when he was a student in the junior Bartholomew's church. but the date has not yet been fixed. Telegrams announcing the sad fact of his death were sent to his numerous friends at Yale. A meeting of the class of which he was @ prominent member will take place tomorrow to take action on his death.
 It is little more than three weeks since young Vanderbilt was stricken with the fever at Yale college, New Haven. His sickness took o serious turn in a few days, and he was removed to his fathers house in this city.
 He has steadily grown weaker, and last Saturday, when the fever was approaching it's crisis, the young millionaire's condition
 was considered very serious. He has been
 delirious for the past ten days and yester-
 day he suffered three hemorrhages of the bowels.
 Nurses and doctors scarcely left his bed
 side during Sunday night, and to-day Dr.
 McLane held out only the extremely slen-
 der hope that "the patient had chance
 for recovery"
 The patient sank rapidly all day
 and shortly past 10 o'clock bieathed

A IN ~ h6 Colonel William R. Morrison Sud. denly FOrges to the Front as a
 Somewhat Formidable Presidential
 Candidate-The Illinois Delegation
 Will Give Him Their support.
 CHICAGO, May 23.-Colonel William R. Morrison, chairman of the interstate con- merce commission and for many years chairman of the ways and means commit tee in the house. has suddenly forged to the front as a somewhat formidable pr esi- dential candidate. The new democratic state committee met today and most of the Illinois delegates to the convention and politicians from all quarters assem- bled here. The forty eight delegates from Illinois are instructed to vote as unit in the national convention and recommended to favor the nomination of Senator Palmer in casa it should be deemed ex- pedient to come west for @ candidate. It now appears certain, however, that Colonel Morrison and not Senator Palmer is the choice of a decided majority of the Illinois delegates, and that after 8 primary ballot for Cleveland and 8 complimentary one for Palmer it is the intention of the majority to throw the solid support of the forty eight votes of Illinois to Morrison. Under the unit rule, imposed by the state conven- tion, this can easily be done.
 Colonel Morrison himself was in the city to-day and was busy during mostof the day receiving visitors and holding conferences with political leaders. To the press he maintained silence as to his presidential prospects, but his friends insisted that he would receive the support of Missouri, Ar kansas, Texas, Kentucky and, indeed, nearly all the solid south, whenever the Illinois delegation should present his name to the national convention.
 State Committeeman Brinton, the leader of the Morrison forces, said to night that Morrison was the inevitable heir to the Cleveland vote whenever the nomination of the ex-president should appear imprac- ticable. He said that Morrison was the pioneer in the great tariff reform move ment, had an excellent military record and had always been right on all public ques- kiopa
