The French Government Getting Ready
to Strike,

PARIS, Jan. 1S.-The government will
soon strike a blow. 1t is reported on
excellent authority that there is now
ample evidence of royalist conspiracy
and that arrests will be made at an
early date. The conspiracy has been
Matched in London and Madrid and the
count of Paris, instead of having been
especially close in expenditures of late
for the royalist cause has been unusu-
ally lavish. He is not himself inanag-
ing any details, and it is not desired
that he should, but his leading repre-
sentatives are more active than ever.

nearly every deserted room in the
building contained much combusti-
BILE matter. 1t WIS really dangerous

or near any of these deserted rooms.
There was no prospect that the build

owned by half dozen different par
ties. 1t contained six rooms down
stairs, each of which was owned by
different individuals, and four of them
had not been occupied for a long
time. Several section men, working
on the A. 7. & s. F., had rooms in
the buildings and all OF their belong
ings were lost. In fact the men had
barely time to save themselves. Mr..
Carter's an1 Mr.. Robinson's losses
were estimated as between $50 and
SlOO. One section man MIR. Hass-
Ter lost about $75 in bedding, trunks
and other belongings. DR.. Dickson
had considerable stock of drugs of
whose value we have heard no esti-
mate. There was no insurance on
the building and none on any of its
contents except the stock of drugs.
1t is reported that there was $500 in
surance on them. If such is the case
the Doctors loss is not very great.
