iBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATcH.I
PARIS, April s.-The trial of Ravachol
has been fixed for April %. At
the examination to-day Ravachol played a
joke on the large crowd in the court room
which caused great excitement for a time.
The prisoner suddenly produced an article
of q cylindrical shape, of which q
good view could not be obtained owing to
it being partly covered by the Anarchists
hand. 1t had the appearance of dynamite
cartridge, and the prisoner pretended that
it was an Internal machine. He said he
was tired of life and was about to blow him.
self and all the other persons in the build
ing to pieces, making at the same time
motion as if to hurl the object he held in
his hand in the midst of the frightened
crowd
Instantly there was stampede, and the
Judge and the Clerk of the Court fled from
the room in terror and sought a place of
safety. The frightened officials would not
return until they were assured that there
was no danger. and were shown the article
which Ravachol had had in his possession.
1t proved to be, not dynamite cartridge,
but banana.

TRYING TO CHEAT EGYPT.

Turkey Wanted a Slice of Her Territory, but
Salisbury Suspected Duplicity and In
sisted on a Change in the Firman of In
vestiture of the Khedive.
LONDON, April S-Lord Salisbury has
scored in the diplomatic contest with France
and Russia over the firman Of investiture of
the Khedive of Egypt. The position has
for week past harassed and perplexed the
Foreign Office, perhaps more than even the
Bering Sea question ever did.
The Sultan stole march upon English
diplomacy in sending frman so phrased
as to exclude from the Egyptian frontier
the whole Siani peninsula and part of the
Red Sea littoral, which were ceded to
Ismail Pasha and have been held by Egypt
for half century. Before the tirman was
drafted the Eaglish Ambassador at Constan-
tinople, alive to the possibility of some
action of this sort, demanded that the docu-
ment should not introduce any question
concerning the frontier, and received assur-
ance that the firman would not touch the
Khedive's rights.
When the Sultan's Envoy, Euob Pasha,
arrived at Cairo, the British Minister, Sir
EVELYN Barring. suspecting some duplicity,
asked for copy of the document. and when
contents of the firman till after the investi-
ture Minister Barring advised the Khedive
not to proceed with the ceremony. Eyoub
Pasha then disclosed the substance of the
firman, the nature of which had been known
and approved by France and Russia before
the missive left Constantinople-
The Consuls General at Cairo at once
ranged themselves on two sides, the Italian
and Austrian representatives meeting at
the English Embassy and the French and
Russian diplomats at the residence of the
Turkish plenipotentiary. The Italian
squadron, which was about to leave Alex
andria, got orders to stay. Yesterday the
British and Italian Ambassadors at Con-
stantinople sent joint note to the Grand
Vizier, saying that the firman must be altered
or Eyoub Pasha recalled. There seems to
have been no mistaking the emphatic char
acter of the note, and there was an immedi-
ate result.
A telegram was received by the Khedive
from the Sultan too day, saving that the fir
man would be modified, omitting the defini-
ton of the frontier. 1t transpired that
Eyoub Pasha had two documents of investi-
ture-one slicing off portion of Egypt and
the other consonant with Lord Salisbury's
view

HINDoos TERRIBLY WORKED UP
They Believe the British Government Med
itates Boy Sacrifices

DELHI, April S.-Great excitement has
been caused among the lower classes here
by rumors circulated by religious fanatics
that the Government had appointed secret
agents to kidnap seven boys, who we're to
be offered as sacrifice to the water deity
upon the site of the projected reservoir.
The matter was discussed among the natives,
and the rumors were implicitly believed.
The indignation grew intense and watch
was set to discover who the agents were.
A number of persons, including several
Sikh Hindoos, were suspected of being
Govern ment emissaries to steal the victims.
To-day crowds of natives set upon the sus-
poets and beat them in most cruel manner.
The excitement spread and the natives are
in dangerous state. The police are doing
their utmost to allay the excitement. A
large number of the ringleaders in the as
sault have been arrested and will be tried
as rioters.

ST. LOUIS, April s.-Further inquiry
into the Charley Ross case of Benton, NO.,
mentioned in these dispatches last night,
make the story more interesting and circum-
stantial R. H. Sparks. of Blodgett, Mo-,
brother of William Sparks, OF Benton, No.,
on whose farm the supposed Charley Ross
is working, was seen to-day. In an inter-
view, in which his statements were corrob-
Grated by friends, he said that in 1874 an
unknown man brought boy to Benton be-
tween and years old.
No effort was made to place the matter
before the Germantown people, because
Mr. Ross at that time said he was
utterly disguised with the way he
was being led to different parts OF
the country on wild goose chases.
The resemblance between the picture of the
kidnapped boy and Mr.. Sparks protege was
considered marvellous. AdviceG from Phil
adelphia are to the effect that Mr.. Ross will
not pursue this clew, but that friends will
do so for him.

that Rev. Mr.. Strickland should be held for
trial as the guilty cause ofthe child's death.

M. Renan, the French Statesman, Thinks HI
Is an Overrated Man.

LONDON, April 9.-The Paris corre-
spondent of the Morning Post sends report
of an interview with NJ Renan on
the ecclesiastical question in France.
NJ Renan blames the clergy for making the
pulpit a political platform. thus melting
church riots. "The clergy" he said, Sought
to set an example of respect for and obedi-
ence to the laws. The Church is an indis-
pensable necessity to satisfy the religious
ideal Preachers should confne them
selves to the sufficiently vast subjects of
faith, hope and charity.
POSSIBLY the Pope's encyclical is the
source of the excited zeal of the clergy, es-
pecially as the Pope is an overrated man.
He is not great Pope or diplomatist, merely
an Italian literateur; vet he is the busvbody
of the Catholic Hierarchy, compelling the
clergy to interfere in what does not concern
them. He produces upon me the effect of

enading with Dejazet in one of her youth

THE INVESTIGATION ENDED.
Only One of the Boodlers Need Necessari
Iy Go to the Pen IL Found Guilty.


CHICAGO, April 2.-The Doodle investl-
CATION which has caused such stir among
Chicago politicians ended to-day. A rec
ommendation by the Grand Jury was made
looking to a continuance Of the inquiry by
a specially chosen body, but whether this
will be done seemed this afternoon rather
problematical.
The final session was stormy. The Grand
Jury voted not TO rescind the indictment
AGAINST Alderman DaLiel O'Brien, one OF
che alleged boodlers, against whom the evi.
6eace is said TO be fiimsr Siyn nemoers oi
she,.fs srssia- Jury favored sbs,.,Sl sDE o.. 7o-
ted for similar action in the cases Of Alder
men Michaelson, Bowler, Goslin and Cor
man, declaring that the accusations were
based on mere hearsay. Gen. Lieb, the
foreman of the Grand Jury, violently as
sailed his dissenting associates, limiting
that they were corrupt. This was warmly
resented, and for time the session seemed
likely to end in rough and tumble fight.
Under the indictments, only one OF the
ten suspected officials, Alderman William
O'Brien, must necessarily go 10 the peni-
tentiary If found guilty. The others, even
if convicted, may escape with fine.
The grand jury refused TO adopt rec
ommendation indorsing the Swiss system
of Refendiun, that is, TO refer every ordi.
nance for valuable franchise TO vote OF
the citizens for adoption or rejection.
States Attorney Longenecker was not
mentioned in the grand iury's report. The
charges against him, of being in league
with the boodlers, were voted unsustained.
His chastisement of Reporter Salt, too, is
nothing serious. The newspaper man ex-
pressed himself satisfied with Mr. Longe-
necker's expressions of regret at the incl
dent. The States Attorney had before
hand relnouished his idea OF prosecuting
Salts paper for criminal libel.
