PARIS, January 2l.--M. Clemen-
ceau was confronted yesterday with
NJ. Stephane, with the view OF
eliciting If possible some achnow'
ledgment that might strengthen
the case against Herr. The examina-
ton was private. but, according to the
Petit Journal, listeners on the outside
heard enough to convince them that a
very lively vocal encounter was in pro-
eress within. Clemenceau stoutly main
tanned his denial OF any knowledge OF
corrupt or criminal conduct on the part
of Herr, or anybody else, and used Ian.
guaee that in any other place would
have been promptly followed by chsl-
lenge or duel. Clemenceeu stood his
ground under all the pressure, and the
examination closed without any admis-

is understood, without any additional
damage 10 Herr.
ALL AGAINST HERR.
All parties are furious against Herr.
The TEAMMATES. as they are called,
are enraged against him for the share he
is alleged to have taken in betraying
them to Andrieux and assisting the ex-
Project in the exposures which have
caused so much scandal, while those
who were not implicated in the scandal
would like to see the chief responsibility
for the disgrace laid upon foreigner
and German at that.
One of the charges most generally ut
tered against Herr is that he is Bava-
rian and consequently a compatriot OF
the soldier brigands who fred Versailles
in September, 1870.
THE HERR hNTECEDENTs.
1t happens that Herr was born at Be
sancon, In France, and is not the son OF
Bavarian, but OF Hessian. parents. He
is therefore only of German parentage.
This, however, makes no difference to
his assalants, who persist in denouncing
him as n German, and spare no effort to
prove that he was the chief hand in the
Panama affair. One OF the newspapers
goes so far as to declare that foreigners
are chiefly responsible for the Panama
scandal.

A Life for a Cigarette.
london Daily NewAl


Not many men can have sacrificed
their lives for so trihing an article as a
cigarette-end. This, however, is what
has been done by French private sol
der with the curiously outlandish name
of Schwinghedaw. This man, who had
bad character in the army for his
INSTRUMENTATION, was undergoing one OF
many terms of imprisonment he has
had at Bicetre military prison, when on
the 7th of last month he picked up a
cigarette-end that had been thrown
down in the exercise-ground. The SER
geant on duty ordered him to throw it
away, whereupon the delinquent be-
came abusive and eventually struck his
superior with his fist. A court-martial
sitting in Paris has condemned Schwin-
ghedaw to be shot.

The galleries, dress circle, parquet, or

The speeches are given here verbatim and

manly sentiments and straightforward home

Professor Soule's excellent oratoiical ef-
fort contained many pearls of the purest
political wisdom. Dr. Pardes's plain words
of sslf-dsfense and his denHnciation Of his
accusers found an echo in the heart Of every
one who listened to them.
c. G. Reed, R, B. Smell and the chairman
of the evening convinced all who were
within the reach Of their voices, that the
time has come when the clouds which have
darkened the political horizon of Oakland
in the past must be lifted, and that the peo-
pie whose confidence has been betrayed in
the days that have been must gather around
the polls tomorrow and make one great,
gigantic effort for freedom and emancipa-
tion.
And when this great meeting finally ad-
journed the masses poured out into the
night to scatter among the beautiful homes
of their charming city and to spread the
glad tidlngs that the good cause will surely
win to-morrow's battle and that the Non
Partisan ticket cannot fail to gain an un-
oualifed victory
