A CALL FOR CONSTANS.
His Is the Master Mind of France
To-Day.
Carnot Disregards the Demand and
Public Sentiment Turns Fast
Against the President.
Special to THE MoRNlNo CALL.

PARIS. April s.-President CarnoPs Min
istry possesses but one merit-it's members
are free from the taint of the Panama
scandal. But everybody admits that they
are poor stop-gsp team and most un-
equally yoked. Carnot can only have
chosen them in the hope that they will be
subservient. The President has now used
up almost every honest man on tile Repun-
licGn side excepting Constans and for some
reason lie refuses to have Constans. Public
opinion in this is beginning to run counter
TO the President. The demand for Con-
staDs increases, and CarnoPs obstinacy is
regarded by many as an evidence Of fear of
the controlling mind.
Never was it more evident that general
election is required to bring new men TO the
front

OF rest and breath of fresh air. No plans
are made for tomorrow. The presidential
party will return to Washington on Monday.

great damage was done by the cyclone. It
Is roughly estimated that the damage to
crops, cattle and buildings will reach many
thousands of dollars. 1t is impossible to
tell what the damage will be to vineyards.
At Springville a barn belonging to Ved-
der Hemstreet was blown down by the
cyclone. He was caught by the timbers
and crushed to death, and his hired man
was seriously injured. The storm unroofed
buildings all around Spriugville.
At Wesifield trees two feet in diameter
were uproOted, many buildings were un-
rooted and many smaller structures were
blown from their foundations Many green
houses were destroyed
AT Brockt0n orchards and vineyards were
badly torn up, trees uprOOted and a store
leveled to the ground.
At Dunkirk trees were torn up, wires
blown down, a cupola swept from a resi-

MOTT SMITHS OPINION.
The Democrats Want to Do Their Own
Annexinp.

Boston, Mass. April S.-Mott Smith,
Hawaiian Minister TO Washington. was
here to-day and said he should remain for
some time, as there was nothing for him to
do at Washington until Commissioner
Blount Of Georgia. who is now at Honolulu,
makes a report on the question OF an-
nexation.
'He thinks he can do it in three months"
said Smith, but it is my candid opinion
he will remain six months at least President
Cleveland, believe, has drawn up treaty
with the islands, but just what it is no one
appears to know but himself For that
matter, 10 one knows what he proposes to
do with it. Nothing will be done in the
matter until Commissioner Blount is heard
from. They have all the facts now. I SUM-
pose, but the Democrats want to have them
come from their own representative. In
other words. they want to find out for them
selves. So far as the natives are concerned.

they are, while the resident Americans

BROWN FOR ANNEXATION.
Queen LiiiuokaIani Might Just as Well

INDIAYAPOLIs, April s.-AdmiraI George
Brown was asked to-day about a late dis
patch from Honolulu which stated that John
Cummins, one of the leading natives of the
Islands, had received a letter from the
admiral in which the latter said he favored
the monarchy and would do all he could for
Its re-establishment.
Hon john a. Cummins, whose name is
mentioned here" said the admiral, 'ls my

HOKE'S VOICE FOR WAR.
The Choctaw Nation Will Be Placed
Under Martial Law.

WASHINGTON, April S.-Secretary Hoke
Smith received a detailed report from Agent
Bennett on The present troubles between
the factions OF the Choctaw Nation. The
agent says that he is convinced that the
militia, acting under Governor Jones
orders, was the aggressor, and. in view OF
that fact he strongly urges that the Nation
be placed under martial law.
Secretary Smith. acting under authority
of the treaty of 1860 which provides that
the United States shall protect tho Choc-
taws and Chickasaws from domestic strife,
has requested the Secretary of War at once
to send a detachment of troops to the scene
of the threatened trouble 10 maintain the

If they expected an attack. Locke received
a case of new Winchesters thus morning,

REINFORCED. Some seem to think that the
militia will try to starve Locke out.

Special TO THE MoRN1Na CALI

WASHINGTON. April S.-Secretary Hoke
Smith to-day rendered a decision on the
question Of revoking the permits recently
granted to the Big Blackfoot Milling Com
pany and the 3 tier Root Development
Company TO cut 20 per cent of the timber
from certain Government land in Montana.
The tract selected by the first-named COM
pany was a narrow strip extending fifty OF
sixty miles up both sides of the Big Black
foot River Secretary Noble granted the
first permit on January 16, and upon a sec
oud petition the permit was extended on
February Is. 1893, TO about twenty-five sec
tions. Secretary Smith finds that this last
permit was illegally granted, inasmuch as
the requirement as 10 advertising was not
compiled with. After giving brief history
OF the transaction he finds that the facts re-
Quire that the permit b. broken, but he says
that there is an additional reason for this
deserving attention.
The permit was granted" he saws.
within a few days before the end Of the
term Of former administration and it was
to continue through three years of the pres
eut administration. 1t piled to more
sections OF land than were ever covered by
any permit heretofore granted. Is it wise
TO extend such privileges to a single conf
pany. or is it desirable to so hasten the de-
struction of the forests of our country?
while seriously doubling whether even
the extension of the time to cut from the
sections covered by the permit should he
allowed without new advertisement, still
the company has acted upon the course pur-
sued on the petition by this department
and serious inconvenience may now he en-
tailed on the public unless some concessions
be made for the present season.
ut is therefore directed that the Big Black
foot Milling Company and the Bitter koot
Development Company each be allowed to
select four sections from the number of
those covered by the permit of January I6,
1882, and that a permit issue according to
tEe provisions of the permit of February Is,
1893, TO allow said companies to cut from
the sections selected until January l. 1894
