SUSPICIOUS FRENoHN1EN.

Captain Borup, United states Military
Attache, in Trouble.
PARIS, June 26.-Captain Borup, U. S.
A., attache to the legation, who has been
accused in the French press OF furnish
ing confidential information from
French authorities to European govern
ments, denies that he furnished secrets
of the French government to Germany.
He does not even know the man Gren-
Ter, who accuses.him. All he has done
has been absolutely within his legiti-
mate duties as attache OF the United
States legation toward friendly powers.
He has done all he could 20 obtain in
formation for his country, but for no
other country. He has placed the mat.
ter in the hands of Minister Coolidge,
who has communicated Captain Borup's
protest to NJ. Rlbol, minister Of foreign
affairs.
Grenier was some time ago suspect
ed OF espionage in favor OF Germany
and Italy 1t Is alleged that documents
intrusted to him were greatly delayed
before they arrived at their destination.
So strong did the suspicious Of the
officers become that Admiral Gervais
ordered that Grenier be closely
watched. The detectives who were de-
tailed to shadow him ascertained that
he frequently visited Captain Borup's
house, on the Avenue Morceau, where,
the officers, declare, the official docu-
Photographed and then returned to
Grenier.
A few days ago. according to the re-
port OF the detectives, packet con-
tanning confidential documents of the
government arrived at the office Of the
minister OF marine just as the office was
being closed for the day. Grenier was
seen to slyly take the packet and con-
ceal 1t beneath his coat. He'then went
to his home, followed by the detectives.
In the evening he proceeded TO Borup's
house, where a number ut detectives
had been stationed with orders
to arrest him Just as he was
entering the building. The officers
OF the general staff did not express any
surprise at Captain Borup's connection
with the affair. They declare that he
has been under suspicion for months

obtain no positive proof which would
warrant them making charges against
him. Borup has been Stunned by his
friends and the officers OF the army
since his alleged part in the affair has
become known.
In an interview to-day, Captain
Borup said: "All military attaches are
liable to receive visits from persons
offering to furnish them with secret
government documents. Grenier is
possibly one Of these mon, who have
made similar proposals to me. But
have I listened to these proposals? A
point which can not understand is
how they can suspect citizen of coun-
try on friendly terms with France OF
lending himself to such a shameful
transaction"
Captain Borup concluded the inter
view by positively denying that he had
ever either directly or indirectly com.
municated with Germany or Italy,

. President Harrison.
WAsnlSaroN. D. c., June 26.-The
Republican national committee will
meet in this city tomorrow ut the Ar
lington hotel. The greater number of
the members of the committee are now
in the city, and the remainder arc ex-
pected to be here when the committee
is called to order tomorrow.
The business for the committee in
cludes the selection OF a chairman to
succeed General Clarkson, the election
OF other officers and the formation Of
the executive committee, which, with
the officers as ex-otficio members, will
have charge OF matters pertaining to
the management Of the coming cam
paign.
The main topic OF discussion among
the committeeman and others who
throng the hotel corridors this evening
is the selection OF chairman OF the
national committee. It is the under
standing tonight that the President de-
sres to have Mr.. Clarkson made chair
man of the national committee. 1t is
known that over two-thirds OF
tho committee favor his election
TO that office and tho matter
now rests entirely with General Clark
son. This evening he seems distnclined
TO accept the cares and responsibilities
attached to the office. Some of his
warmest friends agree with him, while
others are strongly urging him to take
the Craftsmanship, and II may be that
the influence Of tho latter will prevail.

The Organization Of the Third Party VIII
peteat the Democratic.

H
MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 26.-The third
party of Shelby county, composed
wholly Of disgruntled Alliance men, was
formally organized in this city to-day.
7. v. Neal, the president Of the Shelby
County Alliance, was elected perma..
mont chairman, and was also elected
one OF the county executive OF the new
party. Hispronirence in tho Alliance
will, it is feared by the Democracy, en-
able him to gain many converts from
the ranks OF the Alliance Democrats,
All Of those who identified them
selves with the movement to-day have
been lifelong Democrats, and many
have been moro or less powerful poll
ticians and workers in the country.
Among tho most prominent arc I. v.

latter resident Of the city for thirty
years, a brilliant man, ond II no takes
tho stump will prove the most danger
Gus man in the party for Democratic
success. A delegate representing the
Fayette County Alliance was on hand
to pledge that body to the new party,
and some Of the labor unions and the
Knights OF Labor sent delegates.
The new party decided to cut loose
from the old parties and flock by itself.
It will put out no county ticket, but
pledged itself to support the third par
ty state ticket and put out an electoral
ticket for President. An executive COM
mittee was appointed, and delegates
elected to the state convention, which
meets in Nashville on Tuesday, and
which will nominate a state ticket, and
elect delegates to the Omaha conven-
tion. The nomination Of Cleveland.
the toregone defeat Of Buchanan, and
dissatisfaction with the silver and tariff
planks, are what have precipitated the
birth Of the new party.
Tennessee, in spite of the disfran-
chisement OF the negro by the Dortch
ballot law has none too great q margin
OF Democratic votes, and this third
party movement, takingits strength al
most exclusively from the Democratic
party, will, II it makes any showing at
all, place this state in tho doubtful col
umn, with a fair prospect OF success for
both state and national tickets.

WASHINGTON, D. O., June 26.-The
proceedings in both branches OF Con-
rress this week will doubtless be affect.
I'd by the fact that tho fiscal year ex-
pires next Thursday. Not single an
nua appropriation bill has as yet be-
come law, and resort must be had to
extending appropriations by means Of
ioint resolutions for certain fixed periods
in order to prevent total stoppage OF
the machinery Of the government. This
resort ior meeting the failure Of Con-
pre.s to provide tho necessary appro-
priations for the public service before
tho expiration OF the seven months OF
the session available for the purpose is
always resorted to with great reluctance
BY Congressional managers, and SO 1t is
probable that every effort will be made
10 hasten the action OF the conference
committees and secure the enactment
Of the several bills before the end OF
the fiscal year, so as to narrow the ap-
pIication OF the extension OF tho resolu-
lions to the smallest possible limit.
In the senate the agricultural appro-
prlation bill has been practically COM
pteted, and formal vote will probably
be taken tomorrow on tho single
amendment remaining unacted upon
one relating to the monthly crop re.
ports of the agricultural department.
Probably the legislative bill will follow
in regular order. 1t ia to be reported
Monday from the committee on appro-
priations. Tho pension bills are ready
on the senate calendar waiting action,
and the first named at least will doubt
less DO sent to the conference within a
day or two. By the time these bills
are disposed, the sundry civil fortifica-
ton and general deficiency appropria-
tion bills will be ready for action.
The work of the house this week is
shrouded in mist of uncertainty.
Much depends upon the responses to
the urgent kilograms sent out satur-
day to absent members demanding
rather than asking their return to their
posts of duty. Tho general deficiency
bill is the unfinished business, tho yeas
and nays having been ordered on Its
final passage. II a quorum appears it
will be passed Monday and the District
OF Columbia business will be in order.

Congressman Charles E. Hooker, sent
out from Washington by special cores
pondents Immediately after Cleyeland's
nomination, in which Mr.. Hooker is
made to appear as sulker, is indlg,
nantly denied here by intimate personal
and political friends and discredited
generally by Democrats.
Mr.. Hooker, among others, was quot
ed as saying: Certain parties in New
York forced Cleveland's nomination,
now let them elect him." Col. Hooker's
friends assert that such want Of party
fealty is wholly at variance with his an
tecedents, and that besides he is a
candidate for reelection to Congress in

ut Gladstone, aud Injuries HIS Eye. )
LONDON, June 26.-While Mr.. Glad.
stone was driving through Chester to
attend a meeting of Liberal club, .
woman threw hard piece Of ginger
bread at him, and struck him near the
eye. The gingerbread was thrown
with considerable force and struck Mr..
Glrdstone on the nose just beneath his
left eye, and then glanced upward,
grazing the aged statesman's eye and
causing him much pain.
Mr., Gladstone endured great dfscom-
fort throughout his drive TO the place
where the meeting was held. AS the
pain increased, he began to fear that
the organ was seriously injured and de-
cided to seek medical aid as soon as
possible. When Mr.. Gladstone arrived
at the headquarters OF the Liberal Club
two doctors were Immediately SUM
moned. They made a careful exainina-
tion and found that the injured eye was
considerably infamed. They applied
some alievIating remedies and sue
ceeded in moderating the pain.
Mr.. Gladstone complained OF the
difficulty which he experienced in
reading certain quotations during his
speech, and when he had finished
speaking he found that his injured eye
had become very painful and tender,
evidently having been irritated by even
the little use TO which 1t had been put.
Mr.. Gladstone again sought the as
sistance OF the doctors, and they made
another examination. Apparently the
injury which had been inflicted to the
eve was considered to be serious enough
to warrant the sufferer in taking the
greatest rrecaution to prevent any se-
rious consequences, as Mr. Gladstone at
once repaired to the Office OF an oculist
and placed himself in his hands for
treatment.
The oculist states that there is large
abrasion at the corner Of the eye, ex-
tending to the edge OF the pupil. He
says that the greatest care will be nee
essary to prevent serious and per1na-
nent injury to the organ. Tho wound
on Mr.. Gladstone's nose bled freely.
The woman who threw the missile
was recognized as the wife OF an artisan.
She has not yet been arrested, but the
police are on her track, and expect to
soon have her in custody.
Mr.. Gladstone, in describing the as
sault, said that the woman threw tho
hard mass OF ginger bread at him with
great violence, and with such sudden
ness that he could mako no attempt to
ward It of.

tion,at Omahn.
OMAuA, NEB., June 26.-This week
will be very busy one for the elocal
committee having in charge the ar
rangements for the independent ma
tional convention. Much remains to
be done before all will be ready for the
coming crowd, although the plans have
been laid. The Coliseum, which is to
be used as the hall for the convention,
was, until Wednesday,, occupied by a
large manufacturers association.
II is now in the hands OF mechanics
who have removed the machinery and
are rapidly changing the hall for the
convention. The hall will seat 1900
people aside from the delegates. On
the Speakers platform will be; accom-
modations for 800 persons. OF this
room space for l50 working newspaper
men will be reserved. The Western
Union and Postal Telegraph companies
will have branch Offices within easy
access OF the platform, and promise to
give the best OF service. r
In many respects the convention will
be unique. It has no presidents to
guide Il by, being the first national con-
vention OF the party, and it is thought
some confusion may result from this
reason. Then, who will preside is a
question Of much thought. But there
Is no doubt OF the great interest that is
felt, and the committee expects q large
