mother open it and whisper some
thing to the man he hated, and thu
man had fastened away looking about
him stealthily as he went, but moi
seeing the boy over near the wal
where the brown stain Of the dagger
was.
And he thought Of the days when
he had been seeking his kitten.
The next night when 1t was quite
dark he ran breGthlessly down the
alley to the window The shawl was
down. Within the room he could see
that she was drunk, leering and NUT
tering at the shadows.
And the shadows were many the
only light being that Of a tallow can
die thrust into the mouth Of beer
bottle. 1t had been cut to allow it
to enter, and the knife, a common
case knife, lay beside it on chair at
the head Of pallet Of straw. i.
And on the straw?
Yes. You have guessed 1t!
Camilla.
And over her the shawl dragged
from the window lay with hideous
smoothness, disclosing certain
starkness of the slim feet And
though her eyes were closed there
was still upon them and upon her
sharp cheek bones a daub OF cheap
rouge.
After Pasquale saw the feet which
had been the feet Of Camilla he re!
membered nothing more.
That there was a crowd, that the
man was cursing and binding
wound, that he had bitten human
flesh to the bone and that his own
arm was broken when they tore him
from Camllla's side, he knew.
Before they took him out Of the
only environments he had ever
owned, he begged a singular favor.
He staggered across the alley to the
wall, and, with thumb which reeked
with the blood Of the man, he daubed
into fresh prominence the faded
brown mark like a dagger which
showed family upon the bricks.
He was singular little devil, that
boy
And as the wheels of a great wagon
bore him swiftly away he muttered
furiously to himself, with alternate
,urses and weeping, some words
which no one understood
But possibly they were the words
he breathed so constantly in his de-
irlum at the hospital. The nurse
laid they were:
'Love-a-not,"
And Pasquale died.

Another Deputy Ready to Defend His
 Honor on the DuelIing Field.
 PARIS, Jan. 17-Deputy Paul de Casssg- mac appeared before the parliamentary commission of inquiry to day and behaved so truculently that several times 1t re- quired the combined persuasiveness of Chairman Brisson and his colleagues to calm him. M. de Cassagnsc reproached M. Dupuy Dutemps, one of the committee, with having circulated reports that he had accepted bribes from the Panama company. Such reports were unqualified fslsehoods, M Cassagnac said.
 M. Dupuy- -Detsmps declared that he had never circulated any reports whatever con- cernipg De Csssagnac and the Panama canal people.
 M. de Cassagnac listened to these asser- vations with soornful incredulity, and then said:
 "M. Dupuy- Dutemps has read reports that I received Panama check payable only to bearer. These reports are false and mali cious and I shall demand personal sstis- faction from the man who is responsible for them"
 Chairman Brisson assured de Cassagnao him by M. Dupuy Dutemps, or any other member of the commission, and that his integrity was not under suspicion.
 Several other deputies made efforts to calm M. de Csssasnac.
 M de Cassagnac left the commission, however, still protesting his conviction that he had been slsndered, and this even ing he sent his second to NJ. Dupuy- Dutemps.

 Independent ActIou

England Offended by the Khedive,s
 Independent Action.
 LONDON, Jan. 17.-A hurriedly convened cabinet council was held at 5:3O o'clock this afternoon. The unexpected call for conference caused decided sensation at the clubs, where 1t wss conjectured that action was to be taken in regard to the sudden spirit of independence displayed by the Khedive of Egypt in changing his ministry without having first obtained the consent of the British government So far ss is publicly known here the situation at Cairo remains unchanged. The British representative there declines to recognize the new ministry and the khedive refuses to make any changes in it.
 The council lasted an hour and ten min utes. After 1t rose 1t trsnspired that the ministers had discussed the Egyptian ques- tion in all its aspects and had come to the decision that the khedive must be firmly dealt with. This is taken to mean that the new Egyptian cabinet must be dismissed and replaced by men who are favorable to Great Britain. It is charged that the new ministers owe their appointment to their hostility to Great Britain and that the khedive in selecting them was influenced
 
 msnts are eagerly looked for Itis.thousht that the British representative at Cairo will be immediately notified of the course he Is to follow.
 LONDON, Jan. 17.-A Cairo correspond ent says: "Mr. Cromer this afternoon had an audience with the khedive and present ed sn ultimatum. demanding the dismisssl of the new ministry within twenty-forr hours. The khedive convened the council and presided in person. At the khedive's request Fahkari Pssha resigned"
 CAIRO, Jan. 17.-Mr. Cromer, the Brit ish representative. to day informed the khedive that Great Britain expected to be consulted by the Egyptian government in all the important steps proposed to be taken by 1t, and especially In changes in the ministry. The British government, he added, would never sanction the sp- pointment of Fshksri Pasha ss president of the council
 It Is known that Fshkari Pssha Is op- posed to the English occupation. Subse- qnent to the interview with Mir. Cromer the khedive held consultation with Nubar Pasha and Risz Pashs.

 MT. Platt read resolutions adopted by 6 farmers convention in Connecticut re- quiring himself and Senator Hawley to support the bill by their vote and inh u- ence. and said that be respected the farm CTS of Connecticut too much to believe that they expected him to support measure
 which he believed to be in direct contra vention of the constitution, and in subver- sion of the rights of the states-s measure which, If carried out to it's logical conclu- sion, would leave the American people without self-governing states.

Demand Of the Advocate General for
 a Stern Judgment Against All the
 Defendants.
 PARIS, Jan. 1.-The trial of Charles de Lesseps and his associates was resumed to- day. Among those present were some of the distinguished men of the Paris bar and of Paris finance. The prisoners looked 6rm and confident, with the exception of de Lesseps, upon whom anxiety relative to his situation and that of his aged father Is evil dently having wearing effect.
 Advocate General Rsu opened for the prosecution. He esid that until the last moment he had cherished 8 hope that the defendants, whose regulations had hitherto been unsullied and some of whom had con- tributed to the glory of France, would fur nish frank explanations of the charges against them and establish their innocence. In this expectation he had been disappoint- ed. He found himself compelled to demand from the court @ judgment that would brand them with fraud. He also felt 1t his duty to demand an adequate sentence upon Ferdinand de Lesseps, whose former glory and honor had been wrecked In this tragic adventure, which had reduced to poverty many thoussuds of thrifty workers.
 Advocate General Rsu reviewed the his- tory of the Panama canal enterprise. He dilated on the fraudulent means resorted to in order to induce people to invest their money in Panama shares. Out of 3OO.- GOO, 900 of francs first obtained, threa-
 ffrhs had been illegally disposed of N. Ferdinand De Lesseps had ninety found ers' shares assigned to himself, and Gre mieux had re o.ived a commission amount ing to 5000, 900 of francs. Ferdinand De Lesseps, perceiving a declining disposition on the part of the public to invest in the | enterprise in the form of shares, applied in | 1885 for power to issue lottery bonds In order to sustain this application he made | false statements and deceived the public | by asserting that the canal would be com pletsd in three yesre. The press was in | duced by systematic purchase to give It's support to the lottery scheme. aud fraudu-
 lent contracts were made with Eiffel and others. The late Baron Reinach received | over 1000, 900 of francs. Everybody was bribed who coul be reached by bribery and who had influence that could affect the scheme either fsvorsbly or unfavor-
 ably. The capital of the company was so laid open to plunderers that 700, 900, : | 900, of francs were sousndered, be-
 sides the sums expended in actually carry
 ing out the legitimate objects of the oom- Il pany.
