FRENCH CRISIS
Unprecedented Since Existence
ofthe Constitution.

LONDON, March 19-The correSpon-
dent in Paris of the Daily News says
that crisis has arisen there which is
unprecedented since the existence of
the present constitution. A number of
the senators objected in hot haste re-
garding the establishment of ministry
of the colonies and agreed that the mat.
ter must be postponed until parliament
again met. Immediately after the adj
Journment Prime Minister Casimir-
Perier went around the lobbies say
ing that he could not govern
unless he had free hand, and
that he was determined to place
colonial affairs on a new and better
footing by the creation of a minister.
If he could not name the ministry i'm.
mediately he would retire. The prime
minister spoke as if he thought that the
senate wanted to force him to resign.
He must have remembered that the
fact that the cabinet was in minority
in the senate has never been thought a
reason for the resignation of ministry.
The theory entertained by the prime
minister has therefore caused amaze
ment, but NJ. Casimlr-Perier is clearly
in earnest. He refused to yield even
when the Republican groups assured
HIM that the refusal to vote grant for
the ministry Sap-daSh did not show d
hostile feeling toward the ministers.

A FULL BENCH.
Business in the Supreme Court
the Coming week.

Business in the Supreme Court
the Coming week.
WASHINGTON. March 1S.-By the ap-
pointment of Senator White, of Louisi-
ana, to be an associate justice of the
supreme court of the United States, that
court has once more its legal quota of
justices, and will soon take up and hear
arguments in those cases which it has
been desired shall be heard before full
bench. There are enough of thefe cases
to occupy the attention of the court for
more than a month, and the present
expectation is that April will be con-
sumed in that way. All depends, how
ever, on the condition Of Justice Jack
son, who is now in the South recuperat-
ing his health, but it is believed that he
will have recovered sufficiently to
be able to take his seat ON the 2d
of April, or possibly week ear
lier, as the reports which have been
received from him lately have been
favorable. The court has set the In
diana tax cases for a hearing before a
full bench on the Goth of March, though
it is said to be probable that the argu-
menIs in the case will be heard whether
Justice Jackson is here or not, it being
the desire of those Interested to have
the case disposed Of.
Among the important cases assigned
by the court for hearing before full
bench on the I'd OF April are the follow
ing:
Involving the constitutionality of the
Texas railroad laws; oleomargarine
cases from Massachusetts: a reargu-
ment of the case Of Constable ct al. VS..
The National Steamship Company, Lin
tied, which has been pending for long
time; reargument or the case of Hill
ton VS.. Quot, involving the question of
foreign judgments; Barden VS.. The
Northern Pacific Railroad Company,
and railroad cases from Montana.
The cases assigned for hearing on
April include the following:
The Interstate Commerce Commission
against BrimSon, from the northern dis
trict of Illinois; ex-senator Edmunds
appears in this case as the special coun-
sci for the commission; the United
States VS.. The Trans-Missouri Freight
Association, from the circuit court of
appeals of the Eighth district; and The
United States, appellant. VS.. The
Western Union Telegraph Company
and The Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany. There are upwards of twenty
more cases awaiting argument before a
full bench, but up SO this time no steps
have been taken to assign them for
hearing.

SPRUNG A SURPRISE.
Mrs. Stanford Will Dispose OF
Southern Pacific Holdings.

Mrs. Stanford Will Dispose of
Southern Pacific Holdings.
SAN Francisco, March Is. = The
Chronicle prints story to the effect
that Mrs. Stanford is about to dispose of
her large holdings in the Southern
Pacific company and the associate oper-
atiens, the Pacific Improvement COM
pany, TO the great embarrassment of
the Croker, Huntington and Hopkins
interests. The reason assigned is that
under the terms of Senator Stanford'S
will it is necessary to raise by May II,
1895, the sum of $5,00O.0OO, which repre-
sents i'll the aggregate the several be-
quests of the late senator, due and
payable at that time. as we'll as various
claims and promissory notes against
the estate. The total appraisement Of
the Sanford estate is little over $17,-
O00,OO0. and it is asserted that it is pos
sible to realize at this time. without
great sacrifice. the sum of S5.00O,00
only on the railroad properties.
The policy of the Southern Pacific has
always been to maintain the proprietor
ship in close corporation and the in
terests OF the three great owners has
been always so closely related that it
has not been possible to separate them
without violent disturbance of this
policy and probably depreciation of the
value of that stock, and also the bonds
of the railroad company. The Stanford
interest is one-fOurth, and 1t is said be-
side that Il change of ownership will
make harmonious management more
difficult. Mrs Stanford. however, is
alleged to be definitely determined upon
this step, not only to comply with the
terms Of her husbands will. but to Sc
cure by ample provision the mainte-
nance of the great Stanford university
after her death.

change was restricted. No revival was
expected until after Easter. The tone.
however. was good, and the movements
were mostly upward. The demand for
investment securities continues keen.
The chief feature of the speculative
markets was the rise in Brazilian ma

IS GETTING SENSATIONAL.
WASHINGTON SCANDAL HEARERS on
THE our WE.
POLLARD VS.. BR BRECKINRIDGE.
Promises Plenty OF Food for
Their Curiosity in the Near
Future-The Colonel Will Be
the First Witness in His Own
Behaif-Miss Pollard's Private
Life to Be Laid Bare.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The legal
complications aud moral side issues of
the Breckenridge case which are grad
ually coming to light as the trial pro-
crosses increase the public interest
here in Washington where the Ken
tucky orator is best known, and make it
the most sensational scandal ever re.
viewed in the criminal courts here.
Curiosity is rampant among lawyers as
to the line of defense which the array
OF five able lawyers retained by the
congressman have marked out for him.
For time after The revelation of the
secret marriage of Col. Breckenridge to
Mrs. Wing, in New York on April 90,
was made public, it was the general
opinion that this circumstance would
form the basis Of the defense, but today
the attorneys for Mr.. Breckenridge have
intimated TO the contrary. Even hao
they not said so. it is fact that all the
promises of marriage alleged by Miss
Pollard to have been made to her, eX-
cept the statements in the presence of
Maj. Moore, were before the date of the
clandestine marriage. Moreover, it
seems to be established by preponder-
ance of the authorities that the promise
to marry made by married man fur
nlsheS ground for a breach of promise
action i'll case it is accepted in good
faith by the other party, who is ignorant
of his legal disability to fulfill the con-
tract.
THE MYSTERY
of the defense will ue solved in few
days, however, for it is the present in
tention to place Col. Breckinridge on
the witness stand as the first witness in
his own behalf. 1t is evident that his
attorneys place their principal reliance
upon the story which he will tell, and
from their sanguine state of mind to-
day it seems probable that they must
have in reserve resources which have
not been made known. That Col.
Breckinridge'S recital will be long one
was fOretold by one of his attorneys to-
day, when he said that the defendant
would doubtless be on the witness
stand three days. This attorney prophe-
sled that the trial will continue for two
weeks or may be longer. He said that
the crOss-eXamination of Miss Pollard
would consume two days more; that
Col. Breckenridge would be Oh the
stand three days; that two days would
be occupied in reading depositi0nS Tor
the defense and three days Ill closing
oratory for the ears of the jury.
From this statement it appears that
the defense expects to probe into the
circumstances surrounding Miss Pol
lard's life in much greater detail than
was Indicated by the commencement of
the crOss-eXaminatiOn by MIR. Butter
worth.
That part of Washington which en-
joys sensation, and it is a large por-
ton, is anticipating eagerly the cross
examination of the siiver-haired de-
fendant by Attorneys Wilson and Car

DA CANA ESCAPES.
The Willy Admiral Slips Out of
Rio Harbor.

Rio Harbor.
Rio JANEIRo, March 1S.-Judging
from the course of events here, it is
thought by impartial observers that the
Portuguese government does not intend
to honor the request made upon it for
the surrender of Admiral da Cana.
Ia Cana took refuge on the Portuguese
corvette Mindello when the insurrection
collapsed. President PeiXoto demanded
that the admiral and the officers with
him be delivered into his hands. The
Portuguese minister declined to order
the commander of the Mindello to sur
render the fugitives, and PeiXot0 ap-
pealed, it is said, to the Portuguese gov
ernment to instruct its minister to order
the surrender of the insurgent officers.
Whether reply has been received to
their request cannot be definitely stated,
but this afternoon the MindellO and the
Albuquerque, another Portuguese war
ship, having OH board Admiral da Cana
and seventy OF his officers. put to sea.
1t bad been thought in some quarters
that if the vessels attempted to leave
the bay with the fugitives on board.
trouble would ensue. There was not,
however, the slightest opposition made
to their departure. and, as matter OF
fact, trouble from this source was never
probable.
The destination of the war ships is not
known. 1t is conjectured that they will
20 south to MontevideO and land the in
surgent officers there. If they are landed
at Moatevideo they can easily, if they
are SO disposed. Join the insurgents in
Sac Paulo AMI Rio Grande do Sui, who
are still in armed opposition to the gov
ernment.
The fact that Admiral da Cana and
his officers have succeeded in getting
out OF the bay is matter of great re-
jotcing among their friends in this city.
There is no doubt in the minds of any
body that had the admiral been surren-
dered to the government his trial by a
drumhead court-martial would have
quickly followed. There would have
been but one result, and that would
have been sentence Of death.
Yellow fever continues epidemic. The
deaths average seventy day.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-The council

president of the municipal council, pre-
sided. Patrick Gleason. vice president.
reviewed Lord Roseberv's speech in
Edinburgh. and said it proves the sim
cerity of the Liberal party to the home

the Conservatives. if they came into
Office, would pass home rule or a gov
ernment bill for Ireland. No matter by
what name it was called. the Irish peo-
pie should accept it. At the same time
it was the duty of the Irish people, at
home aud abroad, to support the Lib
eral and Radical party, for it was their
aggressiyeness which spurred on the
Conservatives to do anything for the
masses. The Liberals and Conserya-
tives, he said, we're like the tortoise and

orally slower, but won nearly always at

NEW DIRK. March 1S.-The sermon
tonight of Rev. Pears at the Blooming
dale Reformed church was devoted 10
an attack on the Roman Catholic
church, particularly its influence in the
government at Washington. The min
lister had letters stating that nuns are
permitted to go through all the depart
ments on begging missions, and even to
stand by when the clerks receive their
pay and solicit contributions, and that
the Catholic influences are potent in all
the departments in matters of appoint
ment, promotions and the dismissal of
pay. Numerous instances were cited in
which ProteStants were Disseminated
against in favor of Catholics. The
speaker said:
1.-The departments are full of just
such cases, and an inveStig alton will

BUSINESS LOOKING UP.
But the Demand Yet Less Than
the Production


MANCHESTER, March 1S.-The re-
ports as to the state of trade are con-
ficting. More business is dong, but
there is still less than the production.
Prices are irregular, and generally
weaker. Yarns are plethoric. and. the
position is not relieved. There are
no home sales beyond the actual needs
of the looms. Stocks are heavy. and
occasionally very low. Bids are taken
for export transactions Of little import
ance.
Cloths are more cheerful, and though
the buyers limits are not yes satisfac-
tory offers are numerous, and fair
number have been accepted, where the
order books need replenishlng for India
and China. An early revival of Brazil
ian business is expected. Africa and
the Levant are buying moderately.
Home trade is good on deliveries on old
contracts, but new orders are infre-
quent. SpinnerS are working margins
worse than for several years past, and
an informal curtailment OF production
is extending. Liverpool cotton opera
tors are pulllsh. but they are paralyzed
by dlsproportionate distribution of the
crop.

ever, that such councils would do more
for the lrist cause than any declara-

LONDON, March lS.-This city has for
3 comparatively long time been exempt
from murder, but today a sensation was
caused by the discovery of a crime that
In its details somewhat resembles the
notorious Gouffe murder that occurred
some time ago in Paris. The scene of
this latest horror was in Grafton street.
in the Soho district, which Is infested
with foreigners of the lowest class. 1t
was in the immediate vicinity of the
house in which the murder was commit
ted that the police recently raided the
anarchist clubs. An Austrian woman,
named Marie Hermann, who is well
known to the police as a night prowler,
recently reuted a small room in house
Oh Grafton street. Thursday night
last she, in company with an
elderly man, was seen TO enter
the room. Subsequently loud quar-
ling was heard in the room by
hther tenants in the house, but as
wordy wars were of frequent occur
renee. no attention was paid to this. A
woman named Hutchins, who lodged
with the Hermann woman, on Friday
found blood stains on sink and spoke
TO the hermann woman about them.
The latter passed the matter off lightly,
but on Saturday she changed her lodg-
ingS, taking better apartments in Mar
lyebone street. She took with her a
heavy trunk which she asked should be
carefully handled. In the meantime
the suspicious of the HutcEins woman
were aroused, owing to the bioOd-StainS
she had found in the sink. In addition,
it became noised about the house that
the man who had gone to the HermanD's
room had not been seen to leave it. The
HutchinS woman followed the Hermann
woman when she moved, and, after
learning her new address, informed the
police that she suspected that foul play
had been done.
Officers were sent to the house on
Marylebone street, where the Hermann
woman bad taken up her residence, and
search made Of the apartments occupied
by her. The trunk, which the woman
had been SO careful about, was in the
room. The police forced it open, and
found in it the body of the missing man.
Ills head had been battered, evidently
with some blunt instrument. The body
presented a frightful appearance, and
the clothing in which it was attired was
drenched with bluod. The Hermann
woman was at once taken into custody
Oh charge of willful murder.
The body has been recognized as that
OF well-to-do eX-job kaster named
Stevens. He was seventy-siX years old.
1t is believed that the Hermann woman
had an accOmplice i'll committing the
murder. as Stevens was a muscular
man. 1t may be. however, that he was
killed while asleep. The prisoner is
forty-three years old. She is ugly almost
