PARIS, March 2S.-Challemet Lacour,
the newly elected President of the Senate
III place of Ferry, took the chair to-day
as presiding officer. There was large
attendance, and his Introductory address
was listened to with great interest. He
said in part: France must ever find in
the Senate the surest safeguards against
agitations renewed from time to time by
parties hoping to turn them to their own
advantage. The Senate, mindful of the
movements that are now occurring in the
economic and moral conditions of society,
ought to support the Government in
dealing with those conditions" This
outspoken advocacy of the Government
was not unexpected, in view of the sup
port given by the supporters of President
Carnot to Challemet Lacour's candidacy.
In the Chamber of Deputies Admiral
Runler, Minister of Marine, stated that
three thousand troops are still required
TO maintain and enforce French authority
IN Dahomey. The army in Dahoniey is
excellent, but there will be no permanent
security for the French in that country
until the ex King is entirely vanquished.

Manifesto Issued to Royalists by the
Count de Paris.
PARIS, March 2S.-The Count de Paris
has sent circular letter to the monarch
ist committees throughout France. In it
he says substantially:
THE present movement is most crit
ical. The Bhamber has lost credit
throughout the country. The Govern
ment has no courage to act against the
socialists. 1t is powerless at home and
devoid of authority abroad. The time
has come for all right-minded men 10
unite in supreme effort 10 restore the
honor of France. The monarchists must
not repudiate any political alliance re-
quired by the interests of the nation and
tor the defense of religious liberty. but at
the same time they must let France
understand that monarchy alone can give
her a strong, stable government. whose
sole object would be the public welfare.
My son seconds me in trying to realize
this object. We shall spare no effort to
place France upon firmer foundations

caught for an additional 100000. Sutton
claims that he bought the receipts from a
man named Cohn of New Orleans in
good faith.
Sutton was seen late tonight by a
COtHIeI-JoU7n0I reporter. He denied
that he committed a crime, and says he
has more than enough whisky on hand
