Senate ON the DIST. During the de-
bate in the Chamber the scenes were
sometimes Of wild confusion. Clio
mcnceau, defending himself against
accusations, gave the lie to two
members, Deroulede and MilIevoyc.
Since the sitting he has been visited
by the seconds of both to arrange
for duels.
Deroulede was offended at Gle
menccau's statement that Herr was
friend of Boulanger. He made a
most virulent personal attack upon
Clemenceau. He declared that Herr
tried to bride the Boulangists with
Panama canal money, but that they
refused to touch it. Derouledc
shouted to Clemenccau, "Why did
this Herr give 100000 francs to La
JuStice?"
1t was reported that Eilfel had
fled to avoid arrest, but a reporter
found him in Rabelais street. He
said if he had been successful in his
transactions with the Panama Canal
Company it was nobody's business.
He denied having ever attempted to
bribc any member of Parliament.
"lf | gained enormous profits the
money is quite safe where nobody
will get it, and my family will not

There was the greatest excitement

In the MAYORS once, as the City HILL.
there IL large safe used for storing pu olic
documents. The safe Is set into the wall,
and was placed there when the structure
was built, Inside Is steel burglar-proof
chest, having four-bolt Yale combination
lock. The safe also has 0 combination
lock. After the death of Mayor Doyle, in
1885, the little chest was found to be Sc
curely locked. and nobody had the combi-
nation. Il then developed that MAYOR
Doyle was the only person who knew the
numbers by which the chest could DO
opened. and accordingly it remained Sc
curely fastened. nobody having any idea
OF the contents. The chest was unopened
through the terms of Mayor Doyle's sue
cessors until yesterday.
When Mayor Potter took charge Of affairs
he learned the history OF the steel chest,
and short time ago read the account OF
how Herbert \. Page, the expert safe
opener of Charlestown, Mass, fathomed
the mysteries of the most intricate safe
locks With ease. A combination Of natural
curiosity and desire 10 know whether or
not any public documents were In the
steel compartments induced the Mayor to
forward O communication to Dir. Page re.

possible open the little safe. Dir. Page ar
rived yesterday afternoon, and in the pres
ence of number of city officials COM
menced tho work. He found the lock
most intricate one, being capable OF l00,-
600. GOO changes. He labored forty minutes.
aud at the end CT the time the bolts swung
back and the door opened. There was
nothing in the chest. :,
After opening the door Mr.. Page studied
ont the combination and discovered that
the combination, which it was believed
had died with Mayor Doyle. was 7O-5O-4-5e.
The lock was designed especially TO pre-
vent opening by sense of touch, and Mr.
Page was highly complimented for his
skilful work.

ALL THE WOMEN SCREAMED.
A Kangaroo Among Them, and Not the
Biggest Mouse They Ever Saw.
fSan Francisco Examiner.l

One of the kangaroos in o temporary
museum on Market street escaped from his
prison last evening. IL was just about the
time that people were thronging along
Market street on their way to the cake
walx. The sidewalks were crowded,
the women being in majority. W
course the sudden apparition of an animal
that looked like a giant mouse caused
panic. He hoped quietly about on the
pavement for q moment or two, turning
his head from side TO side through sur
prise at the glare of the gaslights. The
women screamed, and most of the men re-
treated to q safe distance. The animals
keeper soon emerged from the tent and
tried to catch him. But that Kangaroo
did not propose to be caught. Jump OF
two took him out of any danger OF lmme-
date capture. But the keeper followed,
and finally the long-tailed marsupisl was
forced into a candy store.
The young saleslades nearly tainted IN
their CONSERVATION. and several people
who were drinking ice-cream soda tried to
swallow the glasses. The keeper entered
Immediately after and made grab for the
kangaroo's tall but the beast was too
mmble. He kept dancing about the
store. eyading the mans efforts 10 catch
him. very much TO the damage OF the furs
niture and showcases. Finally be jumped
clear over the counter, landing close
10 one of the frightened candy girls. Then
he was cornered and the keeper managed to
get a grip on his tail. The kangaroo pulled
and so did the man. For time the result
of the novel tug of war was in doubt. but
whenever he got chance the circus mao
took a reef IN the animals tail, and at
length managed TO get close enough 10
fasten a rope about the neck of the escaped
beast.
With tho assistance Of several other men
the animal was forced back into It's cage,
having enjoyed about ten minutes OF free,
dom. But in that brief time be had had
lots of fun and managed to nearly scare to
death the couple of hundred women who
were in the neighborhood when he made
his escape.

"Rustiers on the Plains.
fChicago Tribune.l

The latest advices from the plains show
the existence of terrible excitement there.
IL is not this time between whites and the
redskins. but between different parties of
the former. The owners and managers Of
the big cattle ranges banded together for
protection against @ lot OF alleged thieves
who have long been stealing their proper
tv. and recently assumed to do 1t under
cover OF the law. The interference OF the
military was sufficiently early to prevent
bloodshed on large scale, but the trouble
is not ended. Some of the cattle-men were
made prisoners, and it is said plan was
arranged to take them from the soldiers for
the purpose OF allowing Judge Lynch to
get in his deadly work. The rustlers form
a force of over thousand men, all well
armed, and many of them desperate chsrsc-
tiers.
1t is reported that the majority of these
men were once cowboys, but discharged
from employment by the large cattle
owners for various reasons, prominent
one being dishonesty. They stay on the
plains and make living by stealing,
taking advantage of the peculiar condi-
tions which render it necessary each
sprlng to brand the calves as o means Of
identification. Under the law, notice
of the time of the annual round
upn for this purpose Is sent out
by the Association OF Oaitle-OWners.
The gathering is attended bv repre-
sentstives from the ranches, big and little,
and Il is claimed that the latter are not
unfairly treated, most of the expenses OF
the outfit being borne by the. Others. This
year the rustlers had the impotence TO
issue notice of their own, calling the
meeting for date some weeks earlier than
the oficial one. This Is alleged to mean
that they proposed TO have Q royal time
in gong about the work OF branding
with their own marks the young ami
mails TO which they had not otherwise the
shadow of q claim. The animals once
branded are regarded everywbere a. the
property OF the man whose mark they bear.
Hence TO have allowed the illegal round
no would have been tantamount TO re-
siguing rightful ownership IN many thou
sands OF animals. and one report 10 to the
eject that certain of the rustlsrs openly
stated It TO be the intention to prevent the
stoekmen from marking their cattle BY
branding ~ many e. could be rekched be-
fore the latter got 20 work.

Not only had German gained an intimate

distinction in Maryland at that time led

fBv Anglo. American Cable to tho Dispaich.l
Loxpox. April 9i.--Another arrest OF an
Fnolishman has been made IN Paris. which
Ia likely to result In tension between Eng
land and Franco. The latest victim OF the
extraordinary vigilance Of the French po-
lice ,s named Delmard. AgendaIme seized
him and chained bis wrists. hustled him
into cab. and took him to the prefecture
of police, and. notwithstanding Deimafus
request for ON explanation, no reason was
given for his arrest. He was put into 2
wretcbed cell. where he was connneo until
the next morning. He was then taken 10
his lodgings. Once there he declined 70
move. until q warrant for his arrest was
shown. Delmard said he was
BRITISH SUBJECT,
and that he would appeal to the British
Embassy for protection. Chief.Detective
Goron said he did not care fig for the
Rritisb Embassy. which would not dare to
Interfere n the matter. Delmard refused
TO move. whereupon he was struck In the
face and Knocked down. His captors then
took him back to the prefecture, where
part of his clothing was taken RON nim
and be was again placed In a. cell nlled
with yermin. The next morning he was
examined by Judge who said he had
proofs that Delmard's presence IN France
was detrimental to the government. The
following day he was taken to the Mazas
prison. Here he was
STRIPPED AND KEPT NAKED
for an hour and o half. Then he
was put in a cell measuring six feet by two
feet six inches. Delmard was subsequently
subjected to another examination by the
Judge. who said that he had letters ad-
dressed to him Oelmard) by foreign gov,
ernments asking for information in regard
to the French ballooning corps. Delmard
proved that these letters were old and OF
no importance. The judge, nevertheless,
said he had proofs that the Enelishman
was spy, and sent him back to prison.
When he was liberated the judge apollo
eized for his arrest and said that the police
were TO blame.
DEMANDS HEAVY DAMAGES.
Delmard was penniless, the police having
taken everything from him. He procured
money. and has now returned to London.
The matter has been laid before the For
eipn Office, through which Delmard de-
mands heavy compensation from France
for his outrageous treatment.
