SUSTAINED RIBOT.
A Victory That May Be but the Pre-
cursor of Defeat.

PARIS, March ia tremendous crowd
gathered in the Chamber of Deputies to-
day, anticipating q Cabinet crisis. The
Boulangist and Royalst attack upon the
Government was delayed until the return
Of NJ. Bourgeois, ex-Minister of Justice
from court. AS soon as he appeared Ar.
mand Despres, Republican Deputy for the
Seine, made an Interpolation Of which he
had already given notice concerning the
Governments knowledge of the Soinoury
interview with Nine. Cottu. Godfrey
Cavaignac, Republican, also spoke in sup
port of the Interpolation.
Then NJ. Bourgeois, pale although self
possessed, walked TO the speakers tribune.
He began huskily, but quickly clearing his
throat. shouted: Those charges are abso-
lutely false. l have been before the court
and have answered everything. l now have
right to hold up my head. There is no.
body to gainsay it."
After the applause and cheers had SUBJ
sided Bourgeois repeated the statement he
had made in court.
M. Rbot said that Bourgeois had yipdi.
Gated his own honor He himself would
now vindicate the honor of the Govern
ment. The story told by Nine. Cottu, where
it was not false, was distorted. Loubet had
told the Premier that Soinoury had been
requested by an Intermediary to grant an
interview to Nine. Cottu. Soinoury under
stood that Mime. Cottu wished merely to
ask that she might be allowed to see her
husband. Loubet authorized Soinoury to
receive her. supposing that she had no other

DOOM OF PUGILISM.
The Women of New Orleans Have
Taken a Hand.

NEW ORLEANS. March 13-Pugilsm is
done for in New Orleans. Fitzsimmons will
not get his $4,000. he will get $4,000 or
$4,000 in cash, all that is available, and
good paper for the remainder.
The officials of the Crescent City Club
claim that they are making arrangements
for satisfactory settlement with Fitzsim-
mons. President Noel said this afternoon
that the club will pay the purse in due sea-
son. 1t IS only temporarily embarrassed.
1t is no secret, he said. that the club lost
considerable money on the fights recently
given.
There will be no more contests in the
Crescent City Club ring. and perhaps no
more in that Of the Olympic Club, though
the Bowen-Burke match is scheduled for the
first week in April. The club will go at
general athletics and rowing and die unless
their social sides are strong enough to bear
the financial loss of such shows, which have
long ago ceased to pay in richer towns than
New Orleans. The women of the city are
organizing an Anti-Pugilstic League as
they did the Anti-Lottery League, and lead
ing papers editorially denounce the contests.
The next Legislature does not meet until
May, 1884, and the city authorities are with
the climbs. Both Presidents Noel and Dick
son are members Of the City Council, but
the best opinion is that neither club will fly
in the face of public opinion. and that pugil-
ism in New Orleans is DONE

TELLER HAS A PLAN.
Call the Brussels Conference To-

He Believes That European Nations
Can Be Brought to Change
Their Silver Policy.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON. March Ex-senator Teller
has prepared resolutions which he will offer
in the Senate at the next meeting express
ing the sense Of the Senate in favor of re-
conyening the international monetary con-
ference at Brussels next summer. Teller
says be Is satisfied that there has been
change Of sentiment in Europe respecting
the monetary question since the conference
adjourned 1t is plain to him that the dele
gates from the European countries began
their conference under an erroneous i'm
preston as to the policy Of the United
States. Lately it has been made clear that
the purpose of this country was not pri-
marily to reap the benefit of the enhanced
price of silver, and recent contributions TO
the literature of the subject, notably an
article published by Professor Andrews,
have made it appear that the value of the
entire annual silver product Is absolutely
Insignificant as compared with the value Of
the products of certain lines of manufac-
lures and agriculture.
Tie Treasury Department continues to
receive offers of gold from the West in ex-
change for small notes, for which there Is a
present and increasing demand. Several of
these offers had TO be temporarily declined
as it was found that the gold was light IN
weight, and until those who offered it made
up the deficiency the Government could not
accept it. In this connection it is interest
ing to note that the Government requires
absolute accuracy before it will receipt for
light weight coin.

MODESTO. March 13.-River steamer EN-
pre- City arrived at Modesto to-day with a
barge loaded with 200 tons OF ironpipe
Tor the new waterworks from San Frau
cisco. This is the first freight taken up the
river as far as Modesto since 1869 Upon the
completion of the railroad. all river traffic
was abandoned. The contractors. w. T.
Garratt & Co., tried the exper lment, as the
railroad freight rate was considered exces-
sive. Since it was settled that steamers
could navigate the TuoIumne River to this
point. freight rates have been reduced. If
proper encouragement is given, the boat,
which belongs to the Stockton Navigation
Company, Will make regular trips every ten
days. The captain is negotiating to take a
load OF wheat back. in former years the
river was navigable from four to eight
months each year. Many people visited the
steamer
