PARIS, Feb. 2S.-A sensation has been
caused in the city and elsewhere by tho
appearance OF m article in the Figaro
in which the car OF Russia, Princess
Marie d'Orloans, wife Of Prince Walde-
mar OF Denmark, Count do Beauchamp,
captain in the French army, and
French military attacho at Copenhagen,
General Borius, Secretary general and
chief OF the military household OF Presi-
dent Caruot, and others, play conspi.
cuOus roles.
Some idea OF the gravity OF the revela-
tions may be gathered from the fact
that Premier Casimir Pericr to-day SUBJ
mitted to President Carnot for his
signature decree removing Count
D'Aunay, ex-minister to Copenha gen,
from the diplomatic service, owing to
his connection with the affair.
The revelations arc associated with
the Frauco-Russian alliance and appear
to have been, generally speaking. the
result OF intricues carried on behind tho
packs OF the Dupuy ministry.
NOT TIE YIRsT rIMg.
This is not the first time that the
name of Princess Marie d'orleaus has
been connected with court inirigues.
Some idea OF the power ot intrigue
which the princess Is said to posseaa
may be gathered from the fact that eI-
Minister Flourens does not scruple to
describe her as the CONSCIOUS artihcer"
OF Prince Bismarck's downfall.
The favor in which the princess
stands with the czar is based both upon
family relations and the pleasure he
;akes in her unconventional converse
ton and high spirits.
Whenever the czar was at Fredens-
borg, the country residence so much en-
joyed by the royal family OF Denmark,
his imperial majesty was much in COM
pany with his sister.in.law. She, like
the czar, ia fond OF animals and OF long
walks and the czar frequently accom-
panied her through the woods. Naturally
1t was supposed that the princess had
great influence over the car and, being
i thorough French woman, she sug-
gessed to the czar that during the 10.
journ OF Admiral Avetlan and the Rus
sian officers in Paris last autumn hia
majesty should receive two French war
vessels ct Copenhagen, where he was
then on visit to the royal family.

ADvALoREu DUTIES.

Senators Hill, Brice, White, CaG'rey
and German were among those present
during the greater part OF the caucus,
aud it Is understood that they expressed
themselves quite fully as to the changes
they desire. These changes appeared
10 bo many and varied.
The question OF the method OF low
ing duty was discussed, and tho contest
was between those who favored specific
and those advocating advalorem duties.
There was quite strong disposition
manifest among the northern and east
ern senators to attack the system upon
which the senate bill has been framed,
which changes almostevcry schedule 80
as to provide for advalorsm duties.
Senator Hill led the opposition 10 the
system, and while no expressed the
opinion that ad valorem duties were
feasible In some cases, he contended
that general adoption OF this system
in opposition to the specific system
would provo deluslvo aud be- the means
OF encouraging c good deal OF fraud in
the collection OF the revenues. He said
also that the people mos. interested IN
the tariff were generally opposed TO this
system-not only Tor these reasons but
because Of the uncertainties and intri.
cac.es which it involved.
Senator Mills conteuded for the nd
valorem system as the most equitable
and Just TO all concerned. He declared

Ko.suth's Masonic Honors.

Kossuth was made Mason in Cincin-
natl at the time of his visit there in 1851.
OF this event The Enquirer says: "The
comforting uf tic Masonic degree on Gen
eral Kossulh took place in the immense
hall of the old Masonic temple, at Third
and Walnut streets, in the presence of hun
dreds of Masons from Cincinnati and 9TH
er cities for miles around. The three de-
grees of tho Blue lodge were conferred at
sight" by the grand master of Ohio in
Cincinnati lodge when Ferdinand Hod-
man was W or. hipful master Of the lodge.
The gathering present at the time was the
biggest that c ;cr was inside of the Masonic
temple. KosGuth was made a Master Ma
son without icing required to go through
any of the ceremonies, but merely took the
obligations of the order, which he faithfully
observed ever after. When he had received
the three lodge degrees, all the Masons who
were not Royal Arch Masons retired, and
the great hall was soon thronged with Roy
al Arch Macons, who witnessed Cincinnati
Chapter, r. A. NJ, confer the four chapter
degrees upon the famous Hungarian. All
four degrees were given to him at once
without his going through the regular
ceremonies. After he was declared a Royal

CORRUPTION
Being Brought to Light BY the Committee In
vestigating New York Police.

New YORK, June 4.-The Senate police
investigating committee met again today.
Augusta Thorow testified she had kept a
house of i'll repute in the 14th precinct
four years. Was notified by the officer that
she would have to come to some agreement
with the wardman. Witness told how
Wardman Bissert came around and she
gave him $40. One month she paid $40.
as clock work." This lasted until Capt.
Mccullough was succeeded by Capt.
Dougherty. When Capt. Dougherty came
to the precinct she told the new wardman
she could not pay the "initiation fee." Her
house was raided October 2, 1892. She was
fined. Afterwards she saw Capt. Dough
erty and told him she would like to resume
business. He told her to see Ward De-
tective Meehan. This she did and arranged
matters by agreeing to pay S25 month. She
afterward was summoned to the Office Of
Capt. Dougherty, who told her he had re-
ceived orders from the central office to
close her house and cher business must be
carried on quietly" The witness continu-
ing said: During the interview I said
have some money for you captain. He
laughed and said, i am not supposed to
take money, but put it in this envelope,
write John Hook on it, / did so
and he took his envelope and put it
in q pigeon hole. heard next day John
Hook was the name of the new wardman
appointed in Meehan's place." Witness
said she kept quiet while Captain Dough
erty's trial was going on and when it was
over she opened up again. He came around
afterwards and told her the captain said he
must have more money-she must pay $50
or $40 month. When she said she
could not afford it, Hook told her the
house would be raided. Witness stated
she then saw Senator, now Justice, Roesch,
who belonged to the same club as her hus-
band. She told him she could not afford to
pay so much money as Hook demanded
Mr.. Roesch promised to see somebody who
would fix it up. He thought it coull be
fixed for 500 to $50.
After while Detective Mallon told her
Parkhurst was after them.
There was much more testimony of the
same sort duplicating several police Off
Gals. Rev. DR.. Parkhurst is much pleased
with the results of the investigation thus
far and says the corruption of the police
force is due entirely to the vicious pressure
brought to bear upon the men by their
superiors. He urges the men to aid in the
investigation by coming forward and testify
ing to all the facts in their possession and
declares they shall be protected.

The Word Ouintessence.

The word quintessence, which signifies,
literally, the fifth essence, is of ancient
origin and dates from the time when it
was generally believed that the simple ele-
ments or constituents Of bodies were four
in number-viz, fire, air, earth and water,
and that earth was the lowest element, be-
ing grosser than water, water than air and
air than fire A fifth element or essence,
ether, was added by some Pythagorian
philosopher, who did not believe that the
four elements, or essences, sufficed for the
composition of all substances in nature.
This fifth element or essence was supposed
to be more subtle and pure than fire, the
highest of the four, and was therefore To-
Gated in the uppernost regions of the sky.
The word "quintessence" has thus come
down to us in the Specification Of the sub
tie and vital ingredient of any body, though
in ordinary language it is employed in
hgurative sense.

directly IN stocks whose value may b

Senator Mcpherson: "No, sir. do moi
think it is right to speculate in those stocks
and hence have never done 30"
Senator Mills denied any knowledge of
the statements made ia the papers and said
Secretary Carlisle was never before the

~ was the first one of the three to propose
a duty on sugar. 1t was an unwelcome
thing to me to do it, but regarded the bill
as not producing sufficient revenues, and
something had to be DONE"
Mr.. Jones testified that there was some
talk in the presence Of Carlisle, Senator
Vest and himself of making schedule Of
40 or 80 per cent, and he (Jones) asked
Mr.. Carlisle to Prepare q schedule. Mr..
Jones at first denied there were any inter-
Iineations in the schedule made By Mr..
Carlisle, but subsequently said he remeM-
bered that there were such changes made
by Carlisle, and said they were made by
the secretary at his request.
Secretary Carlisle denied in toto the charge
that he made any recent visit to the finance
committee or that ne had ever made any
statementto any human being that the sugar
trust or any one acting for it had made any
contribution to the Democratic campaign
fund and that the trust must be cared for.
Coupled with the denial Carlisle said eff
you wish me to give my information derived
from a member of the committee, will say
that the sugar trust gave nothing whatever
to the Democratic campaign committee.
He told of Senator Jones' request that he,
Carlisle, should draw up a sugar amend
ment in proper form. 1T was q service
that we had been doirg, frequently since
the bill came in," said he: He said he made
no original suggestion.
The secretary then depicted how he made
the change by striking out the Is of cent
and substituting the ad valorem rate of AZ
per cent, and also wrote in the Hawaiian
provision as it appears in the bill.

HOW TO FuMIGATE A ROOM.
Directions In Detail For the Proper and
Safe Use of Sulphur.

Safe Use Of Sulphur.
The proper way to fumigate room Is to
close the doors, windows, fireplace, etc,
FASTING strips of paper over all the cracks
Fumigation by burning sulphur Is most
easily accomplished.
Two pounds of sulphur should be al
lowed for every room from 10 to ~ feet
square.
1t is better to divide it up and put 1t In
several pans rather than burn the entire
quantity of sulphur used in one pan. To
avoid tho danger Of fire these pans should
be set on bricks or in other and larger pans
filled with water or with sand.
After pouring little alcohol on the sui
phur and properly placing the pans about
the room the farthest from the door Of exit
should be lighted first; the Others in order
The operator will need to move quickly
for no one can breathe sulphurous fumes
with safety.
After closing the door the cracks around
the room.
Six hours at least are generally neces-
sary to fumigate q room properly. At the
windows opened, and they should be left
open IN 1OlS as CouNcuicut, cNcu LUZ q
week if possible.
After fumigation thorough process OF
cleansing should be instituted. At least
the walls and ceiling should be rubbed
dry. Much tho better way is to white
wash and repaper. To these instructions
The Journal of Health adds the recon-
mendation that the floor, and the wood
work, and the furniture DO scrubbed with
a solution of carbolic acid or some other
disinfcctant
