HERE is another instance proving
that nothing succeeds like success: A
California mule has long been engaged
in an effort to make his mark by kick
lne. He has at last made it. He kicked
at a man the other day, hit and knocked
him twenty five feet away. The man
lay unconscious some hours upon the
spot where he landed. He came TO
finally, and, as he opened his eyes, they
fell the hrst thing upon some gold
quartz. To make long story short,
this led to the discovery of a gold mine,
from which the man is digging $4,000
of gold daily, clear of expenses. He
has placed the mule in a padded stall,
provided him pasture that resembles
paradise, and proposes to embalm him
when he dies.

LONDON, Nov. 25.-Assistant United
States Treasurer Conrad N. Jordan, who ar
rived here yesterday from New York, is
at Morley's Hotel and is the object of much
attention upon the part of newspaper men.
Mr.. Jordan continues to insist that he is
here on private business and still refuses TO
be interviewed on any subject connected
with the United States. Inquiries made at
the United States embassy snow That notn-
ing was known of Mr.. Jordan's presence
in London until the Associated Press repre-
sentative announced that he was here. A
reporter to-day interviewed several of the
leading bankers of the city, including a
leading American banking house. asking the
latter especially, as IL has intimate rela-
tions with the Treasury Department at
Washington, If anything was known here
about a possible gold loan or a consulta-
ton regarding tariff matters. The repre-
sentatiVeS of the American banking house,
as well as the representatives of the En-
glish banking houses, joined In assuring the
Mr.. Jordan's mission was connected with
the floating of an American loan, which the
English and continental papers have for a
long time past declared to be imminent. A
prominent American banker gave the strong

ago a minister told me he had resigned"
Here followed a scene of much and pro-
longed disturbance. and 1t was some time
before NJ. Pelletan was able TO be heard.
When N. Pelletan finally managed to raise
his voice above the uproar again he said:

the government has placed it's action in
harmony with its declaration. / 90 not

NJ. PeIletan then stepped down from the
tribune and NJ. Pierre Richard said: 1T
is impossible to continue a discussion with
men who dissimulate the truth"
VI. Casimier-P erier, the presiding officer:
at this stage OF the proceedings. exclaimed:
When a Cabinet resigns. it is customary
to warn the president OF the chamber of
it's resignation, but, L have received no
notice Of the kind. and so long as matters
remain in their present state L shall sup
port the tribune"
This caused NJ. Brisson to cry: 1.-The first
care of the Constitution is that there should
be solidarity in the Ministry in power.

unconstitutional conditions, l ask myself
on whom the Chamber would dare to impose
confidence if it itself gives the example Of
deliberate disobedience to the Constitution.

cheers from the Left
Deputy Milleraud followed, declaring that
the situation was without precedent in
parliamentary history, and that the Depu-
ties would not lend themselves TO such 4
comedy, and that they therefore withdrew
their Interpolation. The Chamber of Dep
uties then adjourned amid a scene of the
greatest disorder.
President Carnot late tonight conferred
with II. Casimir-Perier and Senator Chal-
lemel-Lacour.
Later-M. Casimir-Perier has declined
President Carnot's request to form a new
Ministry, basing his refusal upon motives
of general policy. At President Carnots
express desire, however, he promised TO
return to the Elysee palace tomorrow,
the decision at which he has arrived. In

either NJ. Casimir-Perier or NJ. Depuy II

The Men Probably Beaten.

BUFFALO. n. Y, Nov. 25.-At the close
of the seventh day of the Lehigh Valley
strike it would seem. from the company's
standpoint. that they have won the fight
This view of the situation is the result Of
close observance of every move made by
the company at this end and from the fact
that trains are coming through from the
East nearly on time. They certainly nave
all the men needed to operate the road.
Their ability TO hire any number OF Western
men seems unlimited.
So far as ii was possible TO Judge from
speech and actions of the strikers, the cour-
age and confidence that have marked their
previous demeanor appears TO have deserted
them. Those seen acted tonight i'm q de-
cidedly sul!en manner. Naturally. all eyes
turn toward the other roads TO discover
whether or not the strike viii spread. Up
10 date there has been nothing to indicate
it. II is claimed b. the federation that they
have money enough to tie up every road
entering Buffalo and pay the men half their
regular wares for Il month. The Lehigh
people say they will furnish regular employ
ment to every competent man who makes
application.
