OF SMALL ACCOUNT.
Nobody Cares for the Antics of the
RoyaiiStS.

MADRID, Jan. 6.-The Count of Paris has
gone to Seville with his son, Ferdinand
Francis. aged II, and Count d dHaussion-
vile. formerly manager of the Counts
press bureau for spreading Royalist opin-
IONS The Count of Paris will, it is ex-
pected, be shortly Joined by the Countess
and the rest of the family, and a gathering
OF the Orleanist princes and their principal
counselors will take place TO fix a line of
conduct In view of the French general cleo
tions.
The Spanish Government is keeping an
espionage upon the Count and his adherentS.
1t is understood Sagasta will not allow any
demonstration on Spanish territory, just
when the Madrid Government is about to
renew negotiations with France for treaty
of commerce.
PARIS, Jan. 6.-The Government exhibits
very little anxiety in regard to the royaist
gathering in Spain.
LONDON, Jan. 6-The Paris correspondent
of the Daily News says: The Royaists are
despairing over the Comte de Paris on
account of his apathy in plotting in hotel
in Madrid instead of boldly entering France
as King. Advanced members Of the party
talk af asking him TO abdicate in favor OF
the Duke of Orleans.

PARIS Is ALARMED.
Grave Fears of Serious
Trouble.
LAXITY OF THE GOVERNMENT
The Panama Cases Have Not Been
Pushed and the Frenchrnen Are
Getting Excited Over 1t.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

PARIS, Jan. 6.-The police are busy de-
stroying incendiary placards posted by the
anarchists. These placards call upon the
people TO rise at once. seize the arms. de-
stroy their country's oppressors and take
the reins of government.
A feeling Of alarm was apparent through
out the city last evening and is likely to
Increase to-day in consequence of the
prophecies Of the press that the worst de-
velopments are yet to come. General Saus-
sier, military governor of the city, has taken
every possible nrecaution. The city would
be safe were it not for the general convc-
tion that the Government is playing fast
and loose in the Panama matter. and the
laxity of the Governments conduct of the
prosecution is the subject Of universal COM
ment.
1t is just possible. however. that there
may have been a reason for this apparent
laxity that the Government has not chosen
to reveal. but which is revealed, Deverthe-
less. in the Balhut charge. In fact. the
charges against Baihut, Minister of Public
Works in the Freyeine Cabinet. have
aroused great interest. AS Minister of
Public Works he had important influence
on the course of the Government In regard
10 lHo Odudl &OiiPab1s dhu eHO
charge is substantially that he sold that in
fluence. The Figaro says the Judge has
decided that the evidence against him war
rants putting him on trial.
1t is reported that the proof agans Bal
hut and other important people whom the
Government is prosecuting is due TO an un-
derstandng between the Government and
Charles de Lesseps, under which the latter,
by giving all the information in his power
in relation TO beneicaries CT the Panama
canal corruption, viii be treated with great
leniency or entire immunity. 1t is reported
De Lesseps made an unreServed statement
Of all the facts within his knowledge and
will repeat it when tie cases come to trial.
His object is said TO be not only immunity
but also to convince the public that the
Panama company was forced by an irresist-
ible pressure from officials and newspapers
to choose between wholesale corruption and
the threatened ruin of the enterprise. 1t is
said De Lesseps' revelations are of the most
startling character and will create sensa-
tion In America as well as in France.
1t Is probable that Charles Baihut will be
arraigued before the Senate. sitting as
high court. for acts committed while exer-
eising his functions as Minister in 1856.
Under these circumstances the directors of
the Panama Canal Company will also be
arraigned before the same tribunal as the
accomDIice of Baihut

DOWN WITH THE ICE.
Damage Done by the Breaking of a
Gorge i'm the Ohio.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 6-This evening the
ice gorge in the Ohio River broke with no.
body knows precisely what loss to boats
and coal fleets. Heavyice has been floating
and forming in the river for the past two
or three days and an ice gorge this morning
formed between the Louisville and Nash
Wills bridge and the Cincinnati Southern
Railway bridge, covering a distance OF two
miles, The floating ice came down continu-
ally and Joined the gorge. Below the river
was clear and in the immense frozen raft
was locked all the coal fleets, nine packets
and several towDoats. The harbor boats
Comet, Benwood and Alice Barr tried all
day to break the gorge, but without result,
and at half past o'clock the immense body
of ice began to move In a solid mass The
packets and towboats, to all appearances,
escaped with little or no injury, but, on the
other hand. every boat in the coal feet suf-
fered. The principal losers were the fol-
lowing: Pittsburg Coal Company, four
barges and two floats, value $4,000; Collier
Budd & Co., four barges and several floats.
value $4,000.
At Lodlow, Kv., Mr.. Buck lost sixteen
barges, valued at $4,000. and seven miles
further down the river two barges and three
floats were taken away, value $4,000. Other
inevitable incidental losses are estimated
at $4,000, making total of 100000.
The danger is not yet over and the situ-
alton is still threatening. at o'clock to-
night the gorge stopped at North Bend,
thirteen miles below. Another gorge at the
same time was formed just above lawrence
burg, Ind, twenIy-three miles down the
river Between these.two goTges the water
is clear. ard here are locked all the coal
boats and barges that have not come down.
There seems scarcely possibility Of saving
any Of the property in prison in the ice.
The river above is open, but is floating
heavy ice, aud il another gorge is formed
here tonight greater damage will be done.

disorder ceased, the meeting would be dis
solved A short lul followed this.
Later the Marquis returned to the subject
of the Jews, aud about 500 persons rose
groauing and kissing; the rest Of the au-
dience cheered or shouted for order. Event
ually the Libre Parole crowd made q rush
for the principal disturbers, upsetting and
smashing the seats, and trampling down
their antagonists in their way. Two bodies
of policemen were called in, each leo strong,
and cleared the hall.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6-Irving M. Scott is
well pleased with the result of the NJ IN
terey's trial trip. The Union Iron Works
telegraphed the Navy Department that the
run was most successful and exceeded the
contracts in all particulars The gratifying
report Of yesterdays trial incline the Off

New YORK. Jan. 6-The Herald Wash
ington special says that official advices have
been received at the Navy Department
from the naval officers on board the Mon
teTey concerning the performance of that
vessel on her official trial trip yesterday.
No figures concerning the horse power have
been, or can be. made officially until the
engineers have worked up the indicator
card. but the chief engineer of the
vessel informs the department that her
starboard engine averaged 164.44reyolutions
and her port engine 1907. and from this the
engineer experts at tile department are sat
isied that the contract requirement Of 5400
horsepower has been exceeded. TIE en-

EADS' OLD SCHEME
Huntington Has All His
Cunning.
WORK AGAINST THE CANAL.
An Agent Sent to Washington to Do
Underhamd Jobs for the South
ern Pacific Railroad.
WORK AGAINST THE CANAL
Special to TIE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6-Some time ago
THE CALL stated that the Southern Pacific
Railroad had one of its engineers in this
city to oppose the Nicaragua canal bill.
THE CALL correspondent is now able to
confirm this statement. The mans name is
Cothrell, and he is from Chicago. Cothrell
was in great favor with Captain James B.
Eads, the great engineer who constructed
the St. Louis bridge and the jetties in the
delta at the mouth of the Mississippi River.
Eads, 1t will be remembered, had scheme
10 build a ship railway across the Isthmus
of Tehauntepec, but there was nobody sufi-
eiently imbued with confidence in the prac-
ticability of the scheme to carry it forward
when Eads was out of the field. and so when
the great engineer died the. project lapsed.
Lstterly, however, the enemies of the
Nicaragua canal project have conceived the
idea of reviYing Captain Eads' ship-railway
scheme, and while the Nicaragua canal pro-
mOters declare that the former have no ex-
pectation of carrying out Eads' ideas. for
they know they could not without the aid
of Eads' genius, yet they Will try and
make the plan appear feasible in order to
throw obs tacles in the way of the construc-
tion of the canal.
Cothrell was well known as a man who
was identified with Ead5' ship railway
scheme. and so he was the very man to send
here to oppose the canal. He has been in
dustriously at work telling Congressmen
that the canal scheme is not practicable,
but that Eads' ship-railway project is en-
tiTely feasible and that the railway will be
built without the aid of the Government
To offset this underhand work is the main
problem confronting the canal people.
The five gentlemen who were appointed
By the Nicaragua canal convention. held at
New Orleans, are again on the ground and
hard at work. 0ae of them said tonight to
The CALL correspondent that there was no
doubt that Cothrell was employed by the
transcontineutal railroads. and by Hunting
tons lines in particular, to work against
the canal

CALL correspondent to-day that the con-
tracts for the new warships would prob
ably be awarded the first Of next week.
The naval officers continue TO express the
belief that Scott will not get either contract,
and the latter was inclined to believe this
himself after an interview he had with q
high official of the department almost at
once upon reaching the city.
Late tonight Mr.. Scott saw Secretary
Tracy and was informed that the Cramps
would get the contracts for building both
ships.

TALKING OF SILVER.
Some Slight Hope of a Reversion
to the Bland Bill.
Nothing Done Definitely, but the
Sherman Act VIII Probably Be
Repealed Soon.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

WAsHINGToN, Jan. 6-The first active
step toward report to the House on the
proposition for the repeal OF the Sherman
silver bullion purchase act was taken this
morning by the House Committee on Bank
ing and Currency, which briefly discussed
the repeal of the act aud then adjourned an
I'll tomorrow afternoon. when IL will fur
ther consider the matter. Chairman Bacon
stated 10 his colleagues that at the last
meeting the committee informally passed
upon the banking features Of the Andrew
bill. and authorized him to make any change
necessary in the first and third sections.
which authorize national banks to issue a
circulation up TO the par value of the bonds
deposited and reduce the tax on circulation.
Bacon stated that ON examination he
thought there was no occasion for making
amendments. and accordingly that he had not
amended the bill to report. The committee
plunged Immediately into section 4. which
repeals the silver bullion purchase features
OF the Sherman act.
Representative Cate of Arkansas offered
substitute providing for the stoppage of sill
yer purchases and the coinage into dollars
OF the bullion now in the treasury. II did
not provide for return to the Bland act,
but do tbC HituDct III, III stOpptu
silver purchases by the Government en-
tirely and made the United States treasury
cease TO be safe deposit company for sill
yer bullion.
Townsend of Colorado, a free-coinage
man, met this move with counter motion
that the section repeating the Sherman act
be reported back to the House with the
accommodation that it be referred to
committee properly having jurisdiction
over it. namely the Coinage {Bland) Com
mittee.
There was no vote of any sort. but Town
send was convinced, by the reception his
motion met. that there hada been a deter
mination reached to press the repeal of the
Sherman act and that the committee in
tended to take jurisdiction on the subject.
The bill was then dropped until tomorrow.
Meanwhile several compromises on the sill
yer subject are maturing. and the members
are hoping 10 fud some common ground OH
which an agreement may be reached that
will stop present bullion purchases.
LONDON, Jan, 6.-To-day's markets show
distinct improvement In the tone on the
belief OF an agreement to modify the Sber-
man law and return to the Bland basis of
silver purchases. This solution would pre-
vent the further fall of silver and relieve
the fear OF serious trouble in America and
also prevent the closing OF Indian mints
against silver. 1t would also modify the
international scramble for gold.

That Would Seem to Demand
Rather Close Looking Into.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

Hills resolution of yesterday as to the i'm
migration bill passed.
The quarantine bill was then taken up and
discussed till. on motion of Sherman, the
Senate went into executive session. When
the doors were reopened consideration of the
quarantine bill was resumed.
Chandler (R) of New Hampshire spoke
for about three hours. devoting most of his
argument to the bill to suspend immigra-
ton. which measure he favored. Arguments
against the quarantine bill were made by
Mcpherson (D.l of New Jersey, Piatt {R.) of
Connecticut, Mills tD) of Texas and Dolpb
R.) of Oregon. Many amendments were
offered. some OF which were agreed to. the
others going over until tomorrow, when
the bill will again come up as special or
der of business. In the course of his speech
Chandler spoke of the Inconsistency OF ad-
mtting $40 immigrants and excluding self
supporting, industrious men under the labor
contract law. Referring to the North Ger
man Lloyd Steamship Company, Mr.
Chandler said that it was the favorite ofthe
Secretary Of the Treasury. The Assistant
Treasurer, the Commissioner of Immigra-
tion and other treasury officials were fav-
ored when they 20 aboard. and it had
always been very kind 10 them. 1t had

visions of the bin and not bring 22O0 pas
