CONVERSION OF THE RENTEs.
Bourse Operators and the General
Public Taking to 1t Kindly.

Paris, Jan. 17.-The Senate adopted
unanimously to-day the bill to convert
the AZ per cent. rentes into 81 per cents.
Copyright 1894 by the United Press.)
HOW THE SCHEME Is RECEIVED.
Paris, Jan. 17.-Bourse operators and
the general public are beginning to con-
cur IN the opinion that the plan of
Finance Minister Burdeau for a reduc-
ton of the states interest charges by the
conversion of the ~ per cent. rentes
into 81 per cent. is the best
possible attainable. 1t is also the general
belief that the plan will strengthen the
position of the government. Yesterday
the prevailing feeling on the bourse was
unfavorable to the measure, although it
was known that when the scheme was
under consideration by the cabinet there
had been several conferences between NJ.
Burdeau and leading bankers, who had,
presumably, pointed out everything for
or against the bill, but whose majority
opinion was in favor of such a measure
as passed the Chamber of Deputies yes
terday.
OBJECTION OF THE BOURsIERs.
A section Of the boursiers held that it
wasa a mistake to make such a sudden
conversion of the Al per cent. rentes.
They held that the reduction in interest
should be made gradually until the 81
per cent. rate should have been reached.
The reduction should have been spread
over an extended period, preferably eight
years.
The progress of the days business on
the bOurse shows, however, that the
scheme as presented to the Chamber of
Deputies has been accepted. All govern
ment stocks were frmer. Discomfort
still exists among the renters hold
ing the AS and some bourse spec
ulators persist in making dark pre-
dictions of what will happen before
the date of the conversion. Meantime all
government remains in power long enough
to execute this financial plan. Another
of M. Burdeau's grand projects is said to
concern a new issue of rentes to fund
Frances immense floating debt.

TWO DYNAMITE MYSTERIES.

Attempts Made to Blow Up Two
Buildings But the Reason Unknown.
Pennington. MINI, Jan. 17.-Early
yesterday morning some person placed
dynamite cartridge inside the storm door
of the Exchange Bank at this place. The
explosion blew out the front of the bank
building, besides doing considerable
damage inside. AS the bank had gone
out Of business, and there were no funds
in the vault and no attempt was made on
the safe, robbery was eviden tly not the
motive.
A SIMILAR CASE AT LANCASTER.
Lancaster, Pa. Jan. IA great sensa-
ton was caused here this morning by the
discovery of a dynamite bomb, which had
been placed against a four-story building
on Grant sire ct, adjoining the police sta
ton. The bomb contained half pound of
dynamite encased in lead pipe carefully
closed. with nitro-glycerine caps and
fuse The latter had been lighted, but
for some reason had failed to burn. There
is no clue to the dynamiters, whose object
in trying to blow up the building is I'M
known. The building is unoccupied, but
was being prepared for manufacturing
purposes.

inches long with charred fuse
running through a screw plug was loaded
with dynamite and blasting powder Mr..
Evans with other operators has been
having trouble with the miners over the
question of wages, and the only explana-
ton Of the bomb business is that some
miner thought by wrecking his building
to intimidate him.
