NEW YORK, Dec. 24-An Evening Post
dispatch from Montreal says: Carlisle
Leboeuf publishes an article in the French
papers protesting against contributions TO
the Hon. John Thompson fund by French
Canadians. He says it Is foolish to expect
money from French Canadians who are so
p1or that they cannot place Mausineure on

While Sir John Thompson was q re-

was detestabie, and he nally surrendered
the religion and language of the French
Canadians into the hands of their enc
mics.
He proposed that instead subscription

Quite a Teapot Tempest Over the
Appointment of Rapier as

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Frye
was quite amused at story which ap-
peared in the Washington Post of to-day
concerning the influence which Senator
Walsh had exercised over him in the mat
ter Of the confirmation of j. L. Rapier as
Postm aster at Mobile, Ala. IL was re-
ported that Mr.. Frye had made "actiye

hanging in the balance wneu Senator
Walsh moved TO a vacant seat beside Mr..
FRYE and proceeded to exercise his partic-
uIarly captivating Establishments on the
Senator. when TO the surprise Of every
body the opposition was withdrawn and

''to Mr.. Ia piers confirmation In the Sen

TOXIC, Dee. 2A-Parliament was opened
to-day The speech from the throne
briefly referred to the victories achieved
BY the japanese troops in every engage
ment and says they are rapidly pressing
forward in The enemy's territory, adding
il is especially satisfactory to note, in
spite Of he cold and hardships, the forces
are more than ever distinguishing them
selves by their valOr. The relations Of
Japan with the neutral powers ara more
friendly than ever. The revision of
treaties has been accUm plished with some
countries, and with other states negotia-
tious are making favorable progress.
In conclusion, the speech says: "Hav-
ing been placed in such a glorious situa-
ton, we wish more than ever 20 promote
the civiliza ton of the country and TO en-
join Parliament to take notice of the state
OF affairs al home and abroad, aud by Sc

wish peace, news has reached the Govern

DEBs' SENTENCE.
His Imprisonment Begins on the 9Th
OF January.


CHICAGO, Dee. 24.-Judge Woods to-day
decided the jail ntence of Debs and his
six associates in the Santa Fe case 10
begin January 8. On motion of Attorney
Gregory for the defense. the Santa Fe and
Government cases. on which sentences
were cumulative, were separated and the
sentence on the latter was deferred until
the Santa Fe sentence is served. An ap-
peal will be taken in the Government ca Sc.
The defense asks that tie sentences be
made cumulative instead of concurrent.
There were two cases in which union men
were found guilty OF contempt-the Gov
ernmeut case and the Santa Fe. Judge
Woods entered the order, which. if carried
out, will give Debs one year in jail instead
of six months and the Others six months
instead OF three. This point was purely
technical, for the purpose of testing the
legality of both sentences in the United
States Supreme Court.
"Of course we have to take our chances
for longer Imprisonment" said Debs in
an interview, "Dut we feel we are justified
in taking the risk. The decision of the
point involved if in our favor will be a
great victory for organized labor. On the
other hand our lawyers tell as there is a
good fighting chance for as and we have
