PARIS, Jan. 10. The French ministry
has Just resigned, owing TO differences
in the cabinet on the arrest of e1-Alin-
ister of Public Works Baihaut and
other matters. The greatest excite
ment prevails. and people throng the
streets. The police are out on force
and dispensing crowds. President Car
not has charged N. Ribot with the
duty OF reconstructing the ministry
II is openly charged that the President
and Ribot are not in earnest in the
Panama prosecutions and that they
have no intention of bringing the bHpe
takers TO trial and that the prosecution
will be nothing more than farce. NJ
Ribot will retain the Office OF premier,
but will exchange the ministry OF
foreign affairs for the ministry OF the
interior. VI. Loubet, minister OF the
interior, and ". De Freycinet, minister
of war, will probably not be found IN
the reconstructed cabinet.
LONDON, Jan. 1O.-While 2 number
of men were at work in the Whea Owl
Mine at Penzance, Cornwall, water
suddenly rushed in and drowned many
of the miners. Those who were near
est to the main shaft rushed into the
cage, and were quickly drawn to the
surface. Others at a distance were
overtaken by the water and their cries
could be heard resounding through the
galleries. The number OF men drown
ed has been ascertained to be thirty.
LONDON. Jan. 1O.-Andrew George
McRae. who on December 24 was con

BRUSSELS, Jan. ia dynamite
bomb that had been placed in front OF
the building occupied by the Catholic
club at seraing exploded this morning
completely wrecking the front Of the
structure and otherwise causing great
damage. Fortunately not single per
son was hurt. There is no clue to the
perpetrators of the outrage. Seraing
is the centre of an extensive coal min
ing district and it is supposed that the
explosion was in some way connected
with the strike of coal mines in west
ern Germany. When the Saar miners
went on strike appeals were made to
the Belgian miners for moral and fl
nancial support. No response was
made to the appeals, and it is conject-
ured that the German socialists plan
ned the explosion of to-day as sort of
vicarious revenge on the Belgian min

story which goes to show that business

podes Just at the present. He says that
in Melbourne, city of 275,000, there
are at least 1000 men unemployed, and
that there are at least 5000 in the
smaller city of Sydney. Throughout
the entire country, too, bard times pre-
vail. Head clerks, book-keepers and
men of that class accustomed during
the boom to getting s13, or $50 week,
now get but 60 or e3 week, and are
glad to get that. America, and Califor-
MIA above all, is now the objective point
of tens of thousands in Australia. But
many of them cannot get there. They
haven't got the money. The captain of
the Alameda stated he had never in all
his experience in running to Australia
had so many applications from men
who wanted to get over in one way Or
another. The corn crop in the great
corn district has been injured by the
continued rains, and this is hard on the
people of that region. whatever be their

decision was largely due TO the influence
Of Caisso's father, who has been OF no

Coleman threatened them with the
same fate if they said anything about

a DUTIFUL HUsBAND.-Queen Aus
trigilda, the wife of Gontran, king of
Burgundy, being on her death-bed, re-
ouested her husband to bury the two
physicians who were then in attend
ance on her person in the same tomb
with herself, rs she attributed her COM
ing dissolution to their want of skill.
Like dutiful husband, the king not
only promised his young wife to carry
out her request, but actually saw that
it was done. In the good old times it
was as risky to be court physician as
it is at present to be a medicine man
among the Arizona or Oregon Indians.
