FAURE'S PREDICAMENT.
Situation and Express
Sympathy.

Paris, Oct 29-The following semi-of-
cial note has been issued:
The I~inisters, at the close Of the sitting
the Chamber. proceeded to the ElySee
aiace and rendered their designations to
he President They were accepted and will
e published in the official gazette tomorrow
morning. They acquainted President Faure
With the incidents leading to the resigna
ion. The President thanked the ministers
o. the assistance they had given him and
legged them to continue to dispatch the
.trrent business
The newspapers this morning express
appreciation of the difficulties which are
confronting President Faure as q result
Of the resignation yesterday of the Ribot
ministry. The moderate Republican jour
nails deplore the fact that the Chamber
Of Deputies was not satisfied with the
explanations of the ministry regarding
the failure of the government to prose
cute those whose names had been men
toned in connection with the South of
France railroad scandals and that the
Chamber thus precipitated q situation
the consequences of which, it is claimed,
It will probably be the first to regret.
The A.adical and Socialist newspapers
hail the defeat of the Ribot ministry as
revenge for their own discontinue in
the matter OF the Carmaux strike, while
the Conservative organs state that the
ministry has fallen on a question Of
public morals and under blow given
by the majority, exasperated at repeated
attempts to hush fragrant scandals"
Most Of the newspapers opinions of
the circumstances point to the formation
OF radical cabinet headed by NJ.
Bourgeois. whose last office was that Of
minister of justice in the former Kibot
cabinet i'll 1892, and who tried unsuc-
ccss[Hlly to form q cabinet after the
fail of the Dupuy ministry.
Several newspapers, however, say that
they anticipate that dissolution Of Par
lament must occur IF the present state
OF anarchy continues"

ion seems 10 favor radical ministry

FITZ is A PRISONER.
Governors Officers Ignore the Au-
thority of the Garland
County Officials.

Hot Springs, Ark, Oct 31.-Crowds of
Disguised sports thronged the corridors
of the hotels here last night. The seat
of war has temporarily been transferred
to the seat of the state government.
1t was learned here that Fitzsimmons
had surrendered to the officials of the
governor at TeXarkana and would go on
to Little Rock with Sheriff Houpt in the
company, and it is understood that EitZ-
simmons will then be required to give
p :e bond of $1,000, the maximum
amo ant of bond required. Being re-
leased, the inference is that he will come
to Hot Springs. Corbett is at the Ar
lington hotel in readiness for what
ever may transpire. Carpenters were
busily engaged yesterday afternoon in
constructing a twenty -four-foot ring at
Wilmington park, and when the fight
takes place it will be beneath the big
circus tent ordered q few days ago and
which arrived yesterday morning. Cor
bett announced his determination to re-
main here a month if necessary to meet
his Ianl<y antagonist. From advices re-
ceived here it is understood that Sheriff
Houpt and FitzsimmonS crossed the
state line with Fitzsimmons in custody
of Houpt and that when Sheriff Dill
lard appeared under orders OF the gov
ernor he ignored the Garland county Of
ficiaIs rights in the premises and Fitz-
simmons offered no resistance. All re-
turned to TeXarkana, whence they go to

IRON MARKET WILL FALL OFF.

To Make Large Contracts Now Would be
to Leap in the Dark.
Cleveland. O., Oct. 31.-The Iron Trade
Review this week says:
Buying and selling interests in all de-
partments of the iron trade are scanning
closely the developments of each week On
the one side the drawing out of the present
interval of quietness week after week is
taken as reason enough for further waiting,
the view Of buyers being that the market
will eventually fail off and that large con-
tracts made now would be a leap in the
among buyers of foundry iron; Furnace
men have an opportunity to know that
consumption is heavy and that there is an
urgency about shipping orders, indicating
that very little iron is being carried in
foundry yards. They affirm that furnace
yards are kept clean and are therefore firm
in the position that when present
tracts run out, as many will in the next two
months, there will be a simultaneous effort
to cover that viii take prices even above
the present level. Southern producers Of
pig iron seem to agree in refusing to make
any attempt to get business by shading cur
rent quotations, evidently on the theory
that the conditions are such that shaded
price would only encourage a postponement

ARMENIANS IN REVOLT.
Twenty-six Thousand in the Zeitout

Constantinople, Oct. 3O-The most
alarming news yet received from Ar

said that the situation is so grave that
in the Zeitout mountains and in that dis
trict there are $4,000 Armenians in re-
volt against the rule of the Sultan. The
Turkish government, in view of the
gravity of this outbreak, has decided to

Alliance.

London Papers Renew Assertions OF an
Alliance.
London. Oct. 3O.-The newspapers are
not inclined to accept as correct the offi-
cial denial from the foreign office of the
accuracy of the Times and Globe dis
patches telling of the important con-
cessions said to have been obtained by
Russia from China.
The Globe, referring to the foreign
office statement, says: Something
more than an ambiguous official dis
claimer is needed to make us believe the
statements, which not only reach us on
good authority, but which are in con-
sonance with the known aim of Rus
siaa diplomacy in the far East"
The Westminster Gazette hints that
Japan and Russia understand one an
other and that Great Britain ought to
prepare for startling news, adding:
Russia is trying to-. or has succeeded,
in squaring Japan. On the side of Japan,
seeing that she is still alliance free, it
is not improbable that there are states
men at Toxic who would be ready to
listen to and consider such proposals
IT Russians approached discreetly for
Russo-Japanese secret treaty What
coup it would be-"
Over 9S,000,O00 will be transferred
tomorrow to the Japanese by the Bank of
England as the first payment Of the
Chinese indemnity. 1t is thought prob
able that 100000 of this amount will
be used Immediately to pay debts which
have been incurred for ships and war
material. 1t is expected that the bal
ance will be wanted soon in payment
for more ships and munitions which are
already ordered.
is not considered likely that any gold
will be taken out of the banks, but it
is thought possible that some gold will
be used for the purchase of silver.

Washington. D. c., Oct 29.-it is
impossible to obtain here either confirma
ton or denial OF the report that Pgesi-
dent Cleveland. lille in Atlanta, sUg-
gested Il nostponement of the day set
aDart by the managers of the Exposition
for expressions of sympathy with Cuba,
from November 6 to December II. by
which latter date Congress Will doubtless
have disposed of the matter. 1t IS known
however, that for some time Senior de
Lone, the Spanish minister, hes been
protesting to the secretary of state
ageirrt the use of an organization which
has rec9ss-ed the official sanction of the
United States government, as is the case
with the Atlanta Exposition. - lie
purpose of producing Cuban agitation
Senior de Lone has expressed the view
that with private meetings Of citizens
for such purpose the government may
have nothing to do in g free country like
this, but has argued that the case is quite
a different one where the Exposition is
concerned. The government made an APP
plication for an official display there and
hes given it certain recognition III the
eyes Of the world.
1t is also known that President Cleye-
land does in Il mild way deprecate the
holding of sympathy meetings III this
country. This is not because he lacks
sympathy with Cuba as an individual on
bis own account, but because he does
not think any good purpose is TO be
served by carrying Oh an agitation which
may have an undue effect upon Congress-

BRITISH ARMED FORCE.
Great Britain's Latest Move in
Venezuela will PreCipitate
a Crisis.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 3O.--The con-
frmation last evening of the report sent
to the Chicago Times-Herald Tuesday
morning, October Is, that an armed
British force was marching through Bra
lillian territory to that part of Venezuela
claimed by Great Britain will bring the
international dispute to a crisis at once.
England has throughout evidently been
trying to pull the wool over the eyes OF
this country until she could obtain
point Of vantage by force, knowing that
possession is nine points of the law, but
the time for temporizing has ceased.
Venezuelans now in this city, though
not official representatives Of their gov
eminent, say that any such attempt on
the part of Great Britain would be met
with armed resistance by President Cres-
DO of Venezuela. Crespo is a fighter,
they say, and would not endure any such
violation of the agreement reached IN
1883 between his country and Great
Britain. Gen. Mcpherson, a bold and
aggressive military leader, is IN com
mand Of the Venezuelan troops stationed
nearest the disputed territory, and any
attempt on the part of Great Britain to
intrench troops therein would doubtless
result in a clash of arms.
New York Oct 30.-A special to the
Herald from Havana says that the cor
respondent of an English newspaper has
just received orders from his paper to
embark at once for Venezuela in anticl-
patton of the demonstration that Great
Britain is expected to make at La Quay
ara to enforce the demands Of her ultl-
matum.
New York, Oct. 3O.-A special to the
Herald from Buenos Ayres says that the
Herald's correspondent in Rio. Brazil,
telegraphs that news has been received
from the governor of Para confirming the
report of the passage of British troops
through the territory.
