THE FETE DAY IN PARIS.
Not 30 Generally Nor Brilliantly
Observed q. in Other Years.

PARIS, July 14.-To-day is the one
hundred and fourth anniversary Of the
fall of the Bastile.
The anniversary Of this event In
French history Is usually celebrated
with much rejoicing. To-day, however.
the fetes in Paris have been marked
with tameness. and the usual celebra-
tions are conspicuously lacking.
This Is due entirely to the feeling en-
gendered by the recent riots. The Mu-
nicipal Council, upon which heretofore
much of the expense of the celebrations
has fallen, have taken no part in the OBJ
servance OF the anniversary this year.
The Anarchists have taken advantage
OF the day to post incendiary placards
on dead walls and other places about
the city.
A number of open-air balls were held
last night, but there We're 10 reports of
disorder. The Fire Brigade and two
regiments of troops are held in readi-
ness for any emergency.
President Carnot, who has been away
from Paris on account of his health, has
returned to the city. 1t is customary
on the anniversary Of the Fall of the
Bastile for the President to extend
clemency to certain prisoners. In ac-
cordance with this custom, President
CaiEot to-day pardoned 3l9 convicts.

HARTSHORNE, I. T.. July A.-Gov.
Jones's attitude towards the Federal

has been led to believe. None of the In
dams under sentence of execution at

Of an application for new trial
Gov. Jones contends that the convic-
tions were reached by impartial appllca-
ton Of the Choctaw law, and claims that
he has been grossly misrepresented by
the press reports.
.CADDO, l. T.. July l4.-Gov. Jones ar
rived here yesterday. and Inspector Mad,
ison. of the Interior Department, arrived
last night. The Governor and the In
spector will meet to-day, and the In

MCGlynn Writes About the Pope for the Sunday World

with some little delay in securing extra
dition papers for ne notorious couple.
1t Is believed that this delay will be
merely that necessitated by a trip to
Watertown. Gov. Flowers home. De-
tective Sergts. Won Gerichten and Trainor
left for Albany at 1l.55 last night with
the application for eXtradition upon the
Governor of Michigan, and the other
papers in the case, all OF which require
Gov. Flowers signature.
The Governor was not in Albany yes
terday, and Inspector Mclaughlin, up
to 10 o'clock this morning, had heard
nothing from his men.
Should Gov. Flower be In Watertown.
Inspector Mclaughlin says, 1t will be
necessary for the detectives to go there
before they can go on to Detroit This
will probably cause a delay of day
or two.
AS soon as the Meyers were indicted
yesterday afternoon, word was at once
telegraphed to the Detroit authorities,
and it is believed this will forestall any
action that may be taken BY the police
of that city, Chicago or Cincinnati.
While Meyer and his wife are wanted
.
mitted four insurance murders there,
and in Detroit and Cincinnati on sus-
picion OF having killed one man In each
city from similar motive, II is believed
by the New York authorities that the
evidence In neither of these cases is so
clearly established as in the case OF
Brandt, or Baum, y hos. death at 32J East
Thirteenth street early in 49,, the New
York Life Insurance Company's officials
anege, was due to the murderous minis
trations of Meyer and his worse than
Lucretia Borgia consort.
For this reason and because of their
prompt legal action the New York au-
thorities are cheerfuly confident that
within a few days both alleged pol
soners will be lodged in the Tombs and
awaiting trial for the cold -blooded, COM
charged.
According to DR.. Minden, the physi-
clan who attended Baum shortly before
his death, detectives are still shadow
ing the man Wimmere. who lived with
the Meyers and Baum previous to the
latter's death. DR.. Minden. too, thinks
that Wimmere gave information that
led to the location of the doctor and
Mrs. Meyer in Detroit.
peculiar feature of the case Is that
Mrs. Meyer has a babe in arms, be-
lieved by the police to be the child Of her
victim, Brandt or Baum.
When arrested in Detroit. Meyer was
carrying this child in his arms.
