in Parliament.

PARIS, Feb. 2l.-Presid dent Carnot
held conference with M. Constans,
Bourgeoise. Sayameline and others, in
regard to the formation of cabinet.
The opinion grows that the best way
out of the difficulty will be found in the
dissolution of the chambers. The Jour-
nal des Debats holds that the solid ma
Jority necessary to support the new
cabinet can only be found among men
who are determined opponents both OF
the associations bill and of the separa-
ton of church and state. The TIE mps
says that dissolution of the chambers
will be useful when it promises to OBJ
tain from universal suffrage a majority
that cannot be found in the
chamber. The Matin, Evene ment,
Steele, Repu0lIque Franchise and
other papers advocate the formation of
ministry under M. Constans. In par
Elementary circles the real cause of the
fall Of the present ministry is said to
have been the conviction prevalent
among the Radicals that the support
given the movement by the people is
due to secret treaty between the cabi-
netand the Vatican. La Lanterne an
nounces that Immediately after the new
cabinet is formed NJ. Hubbard will in
terpellate the ministers regarding the
decision of the recent will case by which
the pope secured French inheritance
OF 100000 francs. The Novesti, Novoe
Vremya and other journals concur in
hoping that NJ. Rlbot and NJ de Frey
cinet will have seats in the next cabinet

SHOT IN CHURCH.
\ Texans Revolver Lays Out the
Mother of the Pastor.

'Rev. Thomas Uzzell is shot," wa
the substance OF telephone message
received at police headquarters about I
O'Clock the other night, says the Denver
News.
The patrol wagon, with several de-
tectlveS, was sent to the Peoples taber-
nacle on tue dead run, and a great
crowd was found standing outside and
in. In the front room of the tabernacle,
which is used for prayer and class meet
ingS, all was comm0tiOn. On the floor
in front of the organ great smears of
blood HID the oil-cloth, and it was evil
dent that somebody was hurt.
Mrs. Mary UZZe II. mother of the pas
tor of the tabernacle. it was soon found,
was the one who had been shot, not the
Rev. Mr.. UZzell. A bullet from 49,
caiiber revolver, the property OF Jona-
than Drake, had pierced the calf of her
leg, inf1ictlng painful but not serious
wound.
Mrs. UZZell was leading the prayer
meeting just prior to the shooting, and
was sitting Oh stool in front of the
organ when the flash was seen, imme-
diately followed by loud report. 1t
seemed to come from the first row of
chairs to the left, and about ten feet dis
Mrs. UZZell fell from the stool to the
floor writing i'll pain, while all was ex-
element in the room, every one DASH
ing this way and that to escape from the
probable consequences of a second shot.
1t never came, however, and the crowd
became quoted down and turned loren
der assistance to the injured woman.
Blood was streaming on the floor from
her wound, and she was badly pros
trated by tie sudden shock. Her son,
who was i'll the main room of the
church, hurried in at the noise and had
his mother conveyed to her home at 131
Mary street, Highlands, where DIR. Nc
Neill dressed her wound.
For time nobody seemed to know
from whence the shot had come, and
much speculation was INDUCED i'll.
Finally Jonathan Drake, a member
of the church, who lives at 1915 Twenty
fourth street, called upon Mr.. Howell
and stated that the shot had come from
his revolver, which had. III some mex
pllcable way, exploded in his pocket,
tearing out the lining in its flight. He
assured the pastor that it was entirely
accidental.
Mr.. Drake was seen by a reporter and
told how he came 10 have the revolver
in his pocket. 1t was one he had in
New Mexico couple of years ago.
and when he came to Denver he had
thrown it to one side and it became
somewhat rusty. Having made up his
mind to take a trip to Iowa he thought
1t might be good plan to take the gun
with him. He accordingly got 1t out to
clean up, and when he had finished,
thoughtlessly placed it in his overcoat
pocket. 1t was in the pocket when he
put on the coat to go to church, but he
didn't notice it and was as much sur
prised as anybody when it exploded.

to give ventilation to the lamp. Salt
water, not spray, but .solid" water
poured down through the holes. OF
course the seas swept over the house,
but it stood fast. Some water came in,
but they managed to keep comfortable.
None of them could go to bed, it being
more necessary to keep the light burn
ing brightly on such an occasion than at
any other time. NJ. Hunt says they all
felt bit nervous when the huge seas
struck the light and shook it,
The lantern was protected by stout
wire screen shutters, placed to guard it
by Maj. Handbury some time since.
These broke the force of the water
hurled against the glass, which, with
out them, would have been battered in,
and the heavy plates might have killed
the men attending the lamp. These
screens were locked fast to the railing,
and the seas wrenched them back and
forth as if determined to tear them
loose and destroy the lantern. The old
sailors of the crew said they would
much rather take their chances on
board ship in such storm. They
wore through the long storm without
much discomfort, and managed to have
chickens and pudding for dinner on
Christmas.

SEAS AT TILLAMooK ROCK.

Dashing Over the Top of the
Lighthouse. 157 Feet Above Sea
Level.
George Hunt, who has filled the posi-
ton of head keeper at the Tillamook
Rock lighthouse for the past four years,
arrived here yesterday on his way to
Cape Mears, he having been transferred
to the lighthouse there, his place being
taken by Il. Peterson, who has been on
the rock for over four years, says the
Portland 0regonian.
The crew. at TiflamoOk rock light have
had rather an unpleasant experience
during the storms OF the past six weeks
or more, during which time they have
had no communication with the Shore
Sunday was the first day when it was
possible for any landing to be made on
the rock, and the Manzanita came out
ana landed some supplies and
brought Mr.. Hunt away. He
says that most terrific gale
sprung up on the night of Dec.
z. and continued till 3 p. m. on the Sth.
The wind blew regular hurricane. the
seas breaking completely over the rock
and house. The two boats kept on the
rock were swept away. The platform

which was anchored to the rock with
iron bolts. was swept away, an old steam
boiler and engine bed were carried off,
and the tramway from the landing
place to the station, though bolted to
the rock. was torn up and destroyed.
On the 29th they experienced a still
worse storm. The wind was not so
violent, but there was a heavy sea on
when the gale commenced, and the
waves got up to tremendous height.
Inc local flame of the light is AS feet

BALFOUR A FAILURE,
He Gets Excited at Critical Mo-
mentS in Debate

LONDON, Feb. 21.-The Sunday Sun
today has leader by L. P. O'Connor,
NJ. P, III which he points out that cur
rent events are apparently confirming
what he has previously written in
prophesy Of an early dissolution of
parliament. The article is headed,
will Balfour Fail?" and Mr.. O'Connor
analyses the manner in which the
former chief secretary for Ireland has
conducted himself thus far in his new
forces in the house of commons,
and comes to the conclusion
that he has not shown the
qualities of genuine leadership. The
session, says Mr.. O'COnnor, is an espe-
cially eventful one. The government is
face to face with serious difficulties, and
has narrowly escaped defeat already.
Mr.. Balfour's failure to meet the eX-
igency presented during the weeks de-
bate proves that he lacks the instinct
or natural genius of leadership. In
Mondays sitting he was plainly fluS-
trated during the debate. He showed
excitement and hesitated at critical
moments. Nevertheless, backed by
majority, he carried his point; but the
opinion grows among the members that
he will fail as leader, owing to his
lack of adroitneSs and his inability to
exercise self-command at critical junct-
ures. Mr.. O'CoDnor contrasts Bal
four with Parnell as leader,
and recalls how, throughout hundreds
of exciting scenes, Parnell remained cool
and strong, never losing his head, and
often winning important concessions
purely on account of his ability to re-
tain his clear vision through the cloud
of temporary SIDE issues that always
spring up during a heated political de-
bate.
Mr.. O'Connor adds that it Is interest
ing to study Balfour in his new role.
The opportunity is afforded of judging
how much of his success in the man
agement of the Irish policy of the
government was due to his innate
ability and how much to circumstances.
1t has been the fashion to credit him
with remarkable degree of nerve and
self-control. 1t now appears that the
hardness which he showed in regard to
the Imprisonment of the Irish members
must have been due to some other
cause. than the possession of nerve, or
the events of the past week show lack
OF that particular quality.

To Break Up the Various Seamen's

To Break Up the Various Seamen's
and Other Unions.
LONDON, Feb. 21.-A movement is on
foot among shipping men which will
probably have highly important results.
A committee of the shipping federation,
which aims to break up the seamen's
and other unions. is on the point Of
completing a gigantic and long-pro-
jected scheme for the absorption of all
the industries connected with shipping.
The committees overtures met with
marked success. They have found that

in which they find themselves greatly
under the mems thumbs. The inside
and wearside shipbuilders are chatting
Under the continual strikes going on
among the workmen, on account of
which, in many cases, they have been
obliged to refuse long contracts for fear
they would be forced to break them, "a
state of affairs threatening the ultimate
removal of trade elsewhere. The APP

committee their fullest support. Nogo-

satisfactory conclusion. 1t is
tacitly understood that when the
details of the desired cooperation are
finally settled the shipping federation
will throw off the mask and declare a
war which shall decide the question of
supremacy between the unions and the
employers. Nearly all the employing
firms engaged in the Thames shipping
trades have applied for admittance to
the organization, while the federation's

The train was running at the rate of

had rolled from the high en-
bankment above the railroad. An
awful crash followed. The engine
broke from the tender and LETT the
track. The tender partly broke from
the train, and the separated parts
rushed in mad race for the trestle

train, grinding out flashes of fire from
the rails, swept by it safely. being
stopped by the air brakes at the other
end of the treStle. AS the engine top
pied over Engineer Mahan was thrown

but with true Western enterprise he
agreed to tackle the job, and the cul-
prlts were brought before him.
"Stand up" he said, as they seated
themselves. and they stood up.
Come forward to the bar of Justice"
he continued with pompous effort, and
they came.
Guilty or not guilty?" he asked, as
they stood before him holding hands.
Guilty, your honor" responded the
groom.

1T IS, your honor, so help me-"
"Well, there's nothing to do but to
impose a life sentence on both of you
and assess the groom for the COSTS"
"How much, your honor?' asked the
groom, going down into his pockets.
Ten dollars"
: The groom handed it over.
'Case is dismissed" announced the
Judge, and the innocent young things
marched out of the room as radiant as a
June morning when the sunlight kisses
