French Wheat nntv.

PARIS, Feb. 15.-In the chamber OF
deputies today, the minister OF hus-
bandrY expressed the opinion that the
proposed increase of the corn duties to
eight francs, was too much. An increase
Of duties to seven francs was sufficient.
He also expressed the opinion that the
falling price Of wheat was due to ex-
tended cultivation and abundant har-
vests in 1893, especially in America and
Russia. Deputies Csstelin and Habert
introduced motion to impose duty of
80 confines per month, in addition to
the ordinary duty, on wheat in bond.
Two million quintels Of wheat, just inn
ported, make the total 10000 quintals
now in bonded warehouse.

HORRIBLY MANGLED.
A French AhRrchist Hoist by His Owl
Pctard in London.

A French Anarchist Hoist by His Own
Petard in London.
LONDON, Feb. ia Frenchman, sup
posed to have been an anarchist, was
blown almost to pieces tonight in Green
witch park. Near by were found frag-
ments of bottle which evidently had
contained the explosive material. The
park keeper heard report and hasten
ing thither, found man kneeling on
the floor, covered with blood. His hand
and wrist had been blown away; his
face and body were covered with wounds
and gaping wound was in his stomach,
a portion of the intestines protruding.
He was only able to say: Take me
home" Where his home was could not
be learned from papers in his pocket,
and he WAS therefore conveyed to she
Seamen's hospital. He died half an
hour after reaching there. The conjec-
ture OF the police is that he stumbled
and fell and caused the explosion OF the
contents OF the bottle in his pocket.
There was nothing on his person which
would disclose his identity. A card
bearing the name Boubon was in his
coat pocket, and the faint clew which
this affords is all the police have to de-
pend upon to discover who the man was.
