What IL Being Discussed I'm Cafe and
on the BOulevards.
A paris dispatch. copyrighted by the
United Press. dated January 10, says:
The verdict of guilty and the sentence Of
death in the trial Of Auguste Valiant, who
threw the bomb in the chamber Of deputies
on December 8. were announced so late
that there was not time today for editorial
comment in the press. Nobody. however.
could mistake the feeling of relief, both
inside and outside of the palace Of justice
WREN the result of the trial became known
The verdict was a sign that the jurors
would not be frightened by anonymous
threats Of vengeance. Undoubtedly many
men who sympathized with the prisoner
gained admittance to the court room
Many Of them stood without giving a sign
OF their opinions until moved q cheers by
M. Labor in the peroration of his speech
over Valiant. The men who raised these
cheers are anarchist idealists, who abound
In Paris, as elsewhere.
The celebration of the anniversary Of
Louis Bianqurs death brought together in
the cemetery of Pere Lachaise last Sun
day some $500 of the communists, many
OF them Of the old school Among the
speakers were Deputies Ernest Roche and
Clovis Hughes. Both deputies used the
most violent language known to socialism
IN their denunciations of the bourgeoisie.
hcche said: I'VE are a party of deeds. We
are ready now to take up arms as In the
past, II circumstances permit"
Hugues went still further, and praised
Valiant and his deed. He said: 1T was
the crime of the bourgeoisie that charged
that bomb. 1t was the accumulated human
misery and suffering of the proletarians,
who are eternally exploited. that filled It.
variant was the mere machine for launch
ing it."
The utterances of these two Conscientious
SOCIALISTS have had a potent effect upon
the disconnected workingmen and the
government Is likely to be asked whether
proceedings will not be instituted against
the deputies responsible for them
In the council at the Elysee yesterday
M Burdeau. minister of finance submitted
part OF the budget. He proposed that addi-
tional succession duties be levied upon all
estates. especially upon landed estates.
M. Burdeau has some difficult budget
problems to solve. as the limits of taxa
ton In france appear to have been reached
The country is spending 1O0,OO00OO francs
yearly beyond its revenues. and is loaded
moreover with a tremendous debt 1t is
understood that NJ. Burdeau opposes an
Increase OF naval expenditure. He has pre-
sented to the cabinet estimates showing
that he must raise a new loan IL II be de-
cided to build more ironclads
The news Of the French attack on the
British force at Warina, Sierra Leone,
rather pleased Paris editors. as long az the
affair was described as disastrous to the
British. Since learning that the surprise
planned by Lieut. Moritz did not take the
troops were severely handled, the editors
have been less Jubilant. The British ex-
cuse for Lieut.. Moritz 10 not believed in
military circles here. Men who knew Nor
its say that he probably knew well enough
that he had British force before him.
NORTH was eager to distinguish himself
rash and virulent in his hatred Of the En-
glish.
The Debats treats the rumors Of Presi-
dent Peixoto's resignation seriously, closing
its letter on the subject with the words
''Da Moraes or Pena will be the next presi-
dent Of Brazil"
The Debats says that 1t is impossible to
learn the truth of the report that President
Peixoto Of Brazil has resigned.
Senior Guanabara, Brazilian delegate, has
published a reply to the Figaros article
eulogizing the Countess DEu and referring
to her willingness to forego her rights
to new Brazilian throne In favor of her
son. This article was inspired by Count
DEu. Guanabara recalls in his reply that
Count DEu adhered to the republic when
Dom Pedro was deposed. He denies that
the governor of Pernambuco has been de-
posed; also that Admiral Goncalves, COM
mending the government warships Bahia
and Tiradentes at Montevideo, is dis
affected
Guanabara says in conclusion: when the
empire was overturned II had only one de-
fender-Baron Ladario, the minister of
marine. who afterward accepted the re-
public and now represents IL abroad"
There is no mention in the letter that
President Peixoto has resigned
The Liberte says: Reports from an En-
glish source contradict the announcement
that President Peixoto has resigned. We
are, however, In a position to maintain
our assertion Of yesterday that he has re-
tired from his ONCE"
The Temps speaks at length of the
doubtfulness Of all reports bearing on the
aims OF the Brazilian insurgents and of the
general inability to obtain truthful ac-
counts OF current events in Brazil 1t sug-
gests that the protraction Of the struggle
Is due to secret negotiations, whose object
Is the Introduction of q new regime
whether the new government will be a
monarchy or remodeled republic the
Temps does not venture to predict
II President Peixoto resigned" IL saws
this would merely prove that his chair
was empty. not that the royal family were
ready to return nor that. IL they were
ready. Brazil would be willing to sanction
their return"
