and, like his father, chose the law as
his profession. He studied in Paris, and
while frequenter of the Latin quarter
abandoned the law, owing to a throat
difficulty, and plunged into political
journalism and politics. In connection
with Gambetta and Challemel-L acour
he founded The Revue Politique, which
was soon suppressed by the imperial au-
thorities on account of it's republican
tendencies. During the siege of Paris he
was submayor of the city, but resigned
on account of differences with the au-
thorities.
He was elected to the assembly in
1871, where. he soon made name for
himself, and in 1879 he became vice
president of the chamber of deputies
He was a great friend of Gambetta, and
in 1881 succeeded that statesman as
president of the chamber. He was re-
elected president in 1888, and upon the
downfall of M. Jules Ferry in 1885 he
became premier of France, but soon
gave way TO NJ. de Freycinet. When the
Panama scandal shook France to its
foundations not long ago, he was made
chairman of the committee of inquiry
appointed to probe the gigantic swindle
and worked at his herculean task until
his health broke down.
He has long been a formidable aspi-
rant for the presidency of France and is
even now spoken of as NJ Casimir-Pe-
rier's probable successor. When Carnot
was assassinated, he was NJ Casimir-
Perier's most powerful rival for the
first place within the gift of the French
republic. He has an untainted reputation
and is generally considered one of the
most honest statesmen in France. He is
areligious man andis almost Puritanical
in his ideas. He is leading member of
the Masonic fraternity and an orator
who is always listened to with respect
full attention when he makes one of his
comparatively rare speeches. He is a
prominent advocate Of the Peace league,
but he usually supports any aggressive
foreign policy France attempts to pur-
sue. When he was premier, the late
President Carnot was his minister of
war.

BLANCHE LAMONTs RINGS.


SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. IA few weeks
ago Captain of Detectives Lees said that
IL witness could be found who would SUD-
ply the necessary proof that any or all of
Blanche Lamont's rings were in the pos
session of Theodore Durrant before they
were rturned to Mrs Noble in so mystic
rious manner, the last and strongest
link in the chain of circumstantial ev.-
dence against the young medical student
would have been forged. This witness has
been found. He is business man, a man
of unquestionable integrity and he has
come forward with his sta1ement at this
late day because he felt 1T TO be his duty
to make known the facts within his
knowledge before IL was too late for them
to have any effect on the trial now in prog
ress- As far as his knowledge. goes he
is positive as TO his facts. 1his witness
who has come &C the front so OPPORTUNITY
and will prove such an important factor
in the presentation Of the case for the
people is w. J. Phillips. His testimony
will be corroborative OF that Of Adolph
Oppenheim, the pawnbroker, who testified
at the preliminary hearing that Durrant
entered his place of business few days
after the murder OF Blanche Lamont and
tried TO pawn one of her rings. Phillips
says he was near the pawnshop at the time
and saw Durrant when he entered the
place.
The increase in the number of the wit
nesses against Durrant and the apparent
strengthening of the posecutions case has
made no difference In the attitude of the
counsel for the defense, who still maintain
that they will have something conclusive
in the prisoners favor when their turn
comes at the witness box. The prisoner s
parents have apparently lost none OF their
confidence in their sons innocence al
though they. admit they are ignorant OF
the plan of the defense TO be made by their
sons attorneys. The defendant seems now
TO realize the weight OF the case against
him. but is as unmoved as eyer. The po-
lice have at last identified Durrant's iln-
known girl admirer, who attends court
of well-to-do people in Oakland She knew
Durrant before the murder and she believes
haps the funds for Durrant's defense were
supplied by the young woman, but IL is
doubtful IL she could control the amount
sufficient for the purpose: The expenses in
the defense are believed to be very large.

Hand baggage Must BE Examined.

WASHINGTON, Sept. H-Acting Revenue
Collector Hamlin has informed the col
lectors of customs on the frontiers that
the practice, authorized many years ago,
of labelling and stamping hand baggage OF
passengers on their departure from the
routes passing through foreign territory,
serves no good purpose and affords no
protection whatever to the revenue. The
discontinuance of the practice has been
ordered and in lieu thereof the collectors
are directed to require their officers to
examine the hand baggage OF passengers
arriving within their collection district
from foreign territory without regard to
the places whence the baggage may come.
