in the interest of the canal company,
which he believed would suffer from
the stigma placed by
The Scandal Upon His Name.
Before his arrest Charles de LeSsepS
said significantly that his father had
been too much occupied with private
matters to observe the methods Of the
company. He referred undoubtedly to
sthe painful distraction afforded by the
necessity Of guarding Nine. de LesSepS.
A present Nine. de LeSseps poses as a
heroine at her disgraced husbands bed
side tor several reasons. She is anxious
to get as much of his money as possible
when he dies, and she wishes to con-
cIliate Charles and Victor de LesSepS
so that they will leave her in peaceful
possession.
There is no doubt that the Panama
revelations have esHanged Russia from
France, and have facilitated the negotia-
tons between Germany and Russia for
a new tariff convention. The prospect
of revival of the historic Russo-Ger-
man friendship is believed by German
OptimiStS to be assured, in case the rev
elations-in France be properly exploited
by Gen. Won WOrder. the new German
ambassador in St. Petersburg. An III
ceSsant correspondence by telegraph
has been in progress between the Berlin
foreign Office and the st. Petersburg
embassy during the last four days. And
it is believed III Berlin that the biting
criticisms passed by the Russian press
on The Panama revelations are the ulti-
mate results of the information thus i'll

DE FREYCINET RESIGNS.
Frances War Minister Steps Out
or Office

PARIS, Dec. 24.-It is rumGred that
NJ. de Freycinet. minister of war, has
resigned in consequence of the attacks
upon him in connection with the Pana-
ma scandal. A hurriedly conyoked
meeting of tine cabinet was held this
evening in committee room of the
chamber of deputies. at which, it is re-
ported, the resignation was offered and
accepted The rumor is not officially
confirmed. There is considerable ex-
element in Paris this evening,
and groups of people stand about
the streets discussing the situation, and
eagerly waiting for the latest develop
ments. The rumor of Nj. de FreycinetS
resignation has caused intense agta-
ton, and everybody is asking what
effect such an event, if true, would have
upon the army. Universal confidence
is expressed among the bourgeoisie Ill
the country's good judgment that Gen.
SauSsier. the military governor of Paris,
who has skilltully held aloof from eX-
listing complications, and would, it is be-
lieyed, III a critical juncture, undoubt-
eddy stand by the government. 1t is also
reported that the cabinet considered The
question OF making charge of treason,
and it came 10 decision as 10 its course,
which is kept secret, but blow will be
struck within very short time.

IS on the Verge of Insanity.
TAUNTON. Mass, Dec. 24.-There is
no intimatiOn yet in regard to time of
arraigning Miss Borden for the murder
of her father and step-mother. 1t is as
serted that the government is in no
hurry to have the case presented, be-
cause of belief that the woman is in
sane. or if not so, fear that she will be
before the trial. If she IS insane, the
enormous expense OF a trial will be
avoided and the ends of justice practi-
cally attained. If she is placed on trial,
the most important fact to be explained
Will be in regard to the dress and for the
first time the details of that affair are
now made public. Miss Russell and the
two Misses Borden were in room OH
the third or the fourth day after the
murders. Lizzie went out and then
came into the room again holding in
her hand dress which she pointed TO, at
the same time saying: They are making
so much fuss over things about here
that | guess that | Will burn this. 1t is
an old dress upon which spilled some
red paint" She passed out into the
kitchen and put the dress into the fire.
When the officers in their search
found piece of this dress in the ashes
they sought to learn what it meant, and
it was for this reason that the New Bed
ford purchase was so closely examined
into. Miss Russell said nothing about
this matter at the first hearing. nor did
Emma Borden; but when Miss Russell
was asked point blank i'll regard to the
occurrence the day before the grand
jury reported she told the story.

Serious Charges Against the Gem
mander Of Fort Schuyler.
NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-Non-c commits
stoned officers and privates at Fort
Schuyler say that life at this small post
under the rule of Capt. Grugan, COM
manding officer. is a burden, and they
anxIously await relief from the govern
ment. Two investigations have been
made of Capt. Grugan's conduct toward
his men, and reports have been sub
mitted to the war departments. One of
these reports, it is said, speaks uufavor-
ably of affairs at tie fort and requests
certain remedies. The soldiers charge
Capt. Grugan with abuse and Cruelty.
The worst charge of persecution against
Capt Grugan followed the suicide of
Sergeant Morgan Nov. Is. His was the
third suicide said to have been due to
the condition of matters at the post.

cuss the affairs at the post and charges
made against him by the men.

CHICAGO. Dec. 24.-Michael Birnbeck.
saooukeeper at 20l0 Archer avenue,
earned the praises of the police authori-
ties and his friends by killing one burg
lar and slightly wounding another this
morning. Birnbeck lives in basement
under his place of business. Being
awakened by noises overhead at 1:30
O'Clock, he took his revolver and went
quietly up stairs. There he found two
men behind the bar rifling his till.
Crawling along in front of the bar until
nearly opposite the burglars the saloon
keeper leYeled his revolver aud fired
two shots, botn taking effect. One of
the men, recognized as Michael Owens,
who had only recently been released
from the brIdewell. received slight
wound in the left cheek. The other
man was shot in the left temple and
died two houJs afterward without re-
vealing his identity. lie was unknown
to the police, and his companion claims
not to know his name. From letter
found in his pocket he is supposed to
be Dick Samson, an old offender.
Owens was arrested, and the saloon
keeper is held in custody pending an
Investigation. The police speak in the
highest terms of Blrnbeck's GOODNESS,
bravery and craftsmanship, aud think
his action will have decidedly salutary
effect.

IT'S STRONG WEAPON.
Threats Made by Caprivi to Help
His Army Bill.

BERLIN, Dec. "a. - Chancellor Won
Caprivi's organs reiterate that the army
bill must be passed intact or the reichS-
az will be dissolved. This menace is
the strongest weapon of the govern
ment. Many members Of the reichStag
are quaking at the prospect of general
election. through which the Socialists
and members of the Freisinnige party
alone are likely to benefit. Herr Richter
and other leaders of theFreisinnige party
will devote the parliamentary recess to
celebrating their anticipated triumph
over the bill. TheVOrwGrtZ, the Socialist
organ, warns them that their iubilaton
is somewhat premature. Three of the
parliamentary groups, composing the
old Cartel party, are again vislbly APP
preaching one another, and the official
expectation of the ultimate adhesion of
the Conservative Centrists and National
Liberals seems likely to be justified.

LONDON, Dec. 24.-The appeals of
Nine. Ferdinand de LeSseps to popular
sympathy in the past week have
proved failure. Her description of
the castle in Chenaye as bare barn,
inSulliciently heated and furnished, IS
COntradicted by hundreds Of ParisianS
who have visited the De LeSSeps fam
ilyin the past two years. The fact is, as
everybody in Partisan high life knows,
that the aged president OF the Panama
Canal company has surrounded himself
with all the luxury that his social sta
ton required, and has prided himself
especially upon the richness OF the com
tort which he has been able to afford all
visitors at his present residence. Nine.
de Lesseps has been especially anxious
to shine as an entertainer, and has
spent. as she still spends, the old mans
money with lavish hand. She is there
fore cordially hated by the poor people
in France who have lost heavily by in
veStment in the Panama canal enter
prise.
AT the same time she gets little SYM
pathy in Paris from friends of the De
Lesseps, vino have spread industriOuSly
in the past few days some astonishing
statements as to her influence in break
ing down the aged engineers mental
and physical strength. They say that
for the last twelve years, or ever since
The Inception Of the Canal
enterprise, De Lesseps has been so har-
assed and betrayed by his young wife
that he has hardly been accountable for
his words or actions. She was sixteen
years old when De LessepS married her,
and he had passed sixty. For the first
seven or eight years their life was hap
PLY spent. Then she began career of
reckless unfaithfulness under her hEs-
bands own roof. At her instance he
entertained lavlshly at Castle la Che
naye. Under the preteXt of exceptional
hospitality. she made excursions with
the guests, which always resulted in
small scandal within the household.
Once, friend of Charles de LessepS
says, she ran away with French sena-
tor to Nice, and did not return until
Charles de LeSseps, who fastened after
the couple. had driven away her COM
panion at the point of a revolver and
had given her the choice between di
vorce and immediate departure for
home. Charles de Lesseps, it is said,
has already fought duels with men who
had cast doubts upon his relationship to
the youngest three children Of his step
mother In fact, in recent years every
body in Paris society has understood
that it was perilous matter to mention
Nine. Ferdinand de LesSepsi in her step
sons presence.
That her husband was tormented day
and night by her conduct was generally
known, and it was equally apparent that
he failed mentally and physically under

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. CIV. S. Par
kerson, assisted by insurance experts,
made thorough investigation OF the
cause Of the fire which destroyed his
residence few nights ago. and all were
convinced that it was The work OF an in
cendiary. Twice within the past twelve
months has the residence of Mr.. Parker
son been burned, to the ground. and this
aroused suspicion and led to the
investigation and the discovery that
the destruction of his newly-bult
house was not due to a de-
fectiye flue. as at first reported, but to
the application OF a torch to the board
ing. An account of the incendariSm
was doubly eliminating, inasmuch
as it nearly resulted in the loss of the
lives OF Mrs. Parkersoh and children.
MIR. Parkerson's prominence in political
movements which were supported by
the better element in the community,
more especially againt the Malta, caused
numerous enemies to spring up against
him.

AN APPEAL FOR AID.
Great Suffering in the Russian
Province OF lula,

ST. PETERSBURG. Dec. 24.-Count Be-
brinsky, marshal of the court, has ISSUED
an appeal for aid for the famine suffer
ers in the province OF lula. There are
said to be 5000 persons in the province
dependent upon outside assistance. The
government relief is not sufficient to
prevent the ruin Of the inhabitants.
The crops are an utter failure, and the
condition of the farmers is even worse
than in 1891. The rich have become
poor, and the poor have become beg
CARS. The peasants use the roofs of
their huts for fuel on account of the
dearth of straw, coal and wood. Typhus
is raging to an alarming extent among
the people. The fever sufferers lie hud-
died together in their roofiess huts with
out attendance and without bread.
