He Easily Gave tho Slip to tho French
Police aud Sailed for England.
PARIS, May 25.-The following facts
have been learned in regard to the ar
rest of Thomas O'Brien, the notorious
American bunco man, who, aftor his ex-
tradition from England, was sentenced
in Albany, n. Y, to ten years impris-
onment for robbing a man of $4,000,
and who subsequently, made his escape:
Mr.. Blaine, the American Secretary
of State, sent a cable dispatch on Satur-
day to Mr.. Henry Vignaud, the secre-
tary of the American legation during
the absence of the Minister, telling him
that it was thought that O'Brien was
on the French steamer Marseille, which
sailed from New Orleans May /, for
Havre, and calling upon him to cause
the fugutives arrest. Mr.. Vignaud saw
M. Ribot, the Minister of Foreign AT
fairs, and the Perfect of Police, both of
whom promised to do their Utmost TO aid
in capturing O'Brien. Mr.. Vignaud tele-
graphed to the American counsel at
Havre, informing him of tho expected
arrival of O'Brien.
When the Marseille arrived on Satur-
day watch was kept on tho steamer,
that day. On Sunday ne was allowed to
disembark, the police not making any
attempt to stop him. Tho consul, how
ever, found him on train, arrested him
and delivered him to the police, telling
them that he was dangerous man.
The police promised to detail two gen.
darmes to guard him. Yesterday the
consul learned that the police had let
O'Brlen take walk. Since that time
he has not been seen.
The secretary of the American lega-
ton here confirms the news of the arrest
and escape, and has so cabled to the
State Department at Washington.
The officers of the steamer Marseillo
were interviewed today at Havre.
They state that they did not know that
O'Brien was fugitive from Justice. He
behaved himself very quitely on the
voyage and did not attract their parti-
cular notice in any way. They had no
suspicion as to his true character and
were very greatly surprised when they
learned, after his arrest, that he was
criminal with a worldwide reputation.

TWO STATES IN DOUBT.

MIR. Payne Fears tho Republicans May
Lose Illinois and Wisconsin.
MILWAUKEE, May 25.-Hcnry c. Payne,
tho National Republican committeeman
from Wisconsin, acknowledged yester-
day that he had written letter to Sec
rotary Rusk saying that President Har-
rison, II renominated, would lose Illinois
and Wisconsin. Ho said it was neces-
sary TO nominate some man of more
magnetic presence than Mr.. Harrison,
because such a man might counterfeit
much OF the dissatisfaction now existing
in Illinois and Wisconsin over the school
question, though he did not think the
German Lutheransin either State would
vote tho Republican ticket this fall.

His Name Will be Presented by General
Porter.
WASHINGTON, May 17.-General Hor-
ace Porter. of New York city, will prob
ably present President Harrison's name
to the Minneapolis convention. The
matter has not been definitely arranged,
butit, no doubt, will be within tho next
forty eight hours.
The selection is regarded by the ad-
ministration people as a particularly
happy one. General Porter is one Of
the best representa- tives of the old Grant
clement in the State. He is brilliant
orator and prominent Union League
Club man. This, in connection with
the fact that he is New Yorker and
that he will promise the convention the
cheerful support of New York il tho
President be nominated. is thought to
be reason which will go far toward
popularizing Mr.. Harrison with the
delegates.
