New YORK, Jan. ga cable special
rom Paris to the Herald says: The real
cause of the resignation of NJ. Casimr-

purely pr vate character. The eX
President is or the point of seeking to
obtain divorces from Nine. Casimir.
Prrisr and the causes for this are OF
long standing. The first steps in the
proceedings had been taken when he
became President of the republic At

the hope that the public life he and
Nine. Casimir- Perier would be forced
to lead would put an end to tn, l. dis

Perier found that the joys of politicai
power did not compensate him for his

fit of anger he resigned. At the Palace

counsel for the race track people. The
lawyers GU each side conferred separ-
ate!y and jointly, but there is nothing
to give out for publication ye;. It's
pretty we'll understood that they are
trying to reach compromise. The
basis of the proposed compromise is
said to be that the injunction shall re
main suspended and the Common
wealth can, whenever it sees fit TO
move, have it enforced. In other
words the injunction will have string
tied to it, and whenever any acts III
violation of law are committed the
State of Virginia may, upon thirty days
notice, seek to have operations sus
pended. The race people have not &C.
cspted these terms as yet.
At 30 p. N. the lawyers were still
in conference and it was said that
compromise whereby the races may be
continued would certainly be reached.
1t is understood an agreement will
be reached by which the order sus-

The Virginia Debt Commission.

A meeting of the commission appoint
ed by the last legislature of Virginia
was held in Lynchburg yesterday. The
members present were John B. Moon,
of Charlottesville, chairman; W. f.
Rhea, of Bristol; 81. D. Flood, of Apo
mattox; Taylor Berry, of Amherst, and
Randolph Harrison, of Lynchburg.
The absentees were II. T. Wickham
and II. ii. Downing. Senator Thos.
Martin and Mr.. ]. S. B. Thompson
were closeted with the committee. The
commission adopted a series of resolu-
tons, the preamble reciting that the
West Virginia legislature had evident
~ misinterpreted the resolution adopt
ed by the Virginia legislature, which
was "to provide adjusting with the
State of West Virginia the proportion
of the public debt of the original State
of Virginia proper to be borne by West
Virginia and for the application OF
whatever may be received from West
Virginia to the payment of those found
to be entitled thereto" The commits
sion affirms that there is no claim, eth
er by the terms of said resolution or by
the commission, that West Virginia
should assume to pay one-third of said
debt. These facts being stated in the
preamble, the commission adopted the
following resolution: Resolved, That
this commission disclaims any purpose
or desire to ask of the legislature OF
West Virginia settlement of said debt
upon any basis that would fix upon her
the payment of one third thereof. Re-
solved, further, That this commission
is willing and hereby proposes to enter
upon negotiations for settlement of
said debt upon any basis that will as
certain a just and equitable settlement
of the same, and, if desired by the leg
islature of West Virginia, to proceed to
make such adjustment On the basis of
the terms fixed by what is known as
the Wheeling ordinance" This action
of the committee was wired to the
president of the West Virginia Senate,
and telegram was received from him
in reply stating that the matter had
been referred to the finance committee
of that body.

1896. The contractor is confident of
his ability to prepare the foundation
during the coming summer, and expects
to land the IS ton monolith Oh the site
within q year from now. Secretary
Gresham has selected the simple in
inscription "Washington's Birthplace
for the die, and the words Erected by
the United States, A. D., 1882 for the
lower base. The government has COM
pleted steel wharf about a mile from
the site, and a private corporation has
been formed to establish summer and
winter resort at the landing.

AIN THE late election in this State the
republicans, the democrats and the
muswumps nominated candidates. The
mugwump candidates were beaten in
the total vote about fifty to one: the
republican candidates were elected by
a plurality of about 100000 over their
democratic opponents. If ever there
was an occasion for the mugwump crew
20 stand in the shadow, silent and
abashed, this woald seem to be such an
occasion"
This is what the radical republican
New York Press says in respect of the
demands, of the mugwumps and anti
snappers of its State for a share of the
spoils of the republican victory won
last November Ivy their assistance.
And it is just what it should say. Re-
alizing the fact that the democrats
knew them too well to entrust them
with office, The mugwumps and anti
'n,ppers deserted them and went over
to the republicans, and for doing so
they have got exactly what they de-
served. Nobody has any regard for de.
serters.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. JAN. %, 1895

THE PROPOSED conference on the
subject of the improvement of the cleo
ton law of Virginia, to have been held
in Richmond yesterday, did not mate
rialize. as neither negroes, republicans,
populists nor prohibitionists took
enough interest in it to appoint con-
ferrees, and only a few mugwump
democrats ever contemplated the idea
of having any thing to do with it, as the
present election law is as perfect as it
could be under existing circumstances.
Vlrginians are most homogeneous
people, and what is true OF those of one
of their cities and counties is true
of the others, and Alexandrians
are as intensely Virginisn as the res
dents of any other part of the State.
The new election law was tried here
less than three months ago. and if them
be man who participated in it, white
or black, democratic, republican or
populist, who can swear of his own
knowledge that a qualified voter was
not allowed by that law to cast free
ballot, or vino, if too Ignorant to pre-
pare ballot, had not honest help at
hand to enable him to do so, he has
not yet made himself apparent. The
advantages of the law to voters were
evident to all who went to the polls.
An as it was here. so was it every
where else in the State. Let the law
stand ana let conferences on the subject
of changing it, alone until there WILDE
a chance of returning to the good old
viva yoce system of voting.

APPoINTMENT.-William E. Linn
was yesterday appointed clerk to the
steamboat inspectors in Baltimore to
succeed Mr.. w. o. Saville. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. Saville was re-
moved from the boiler inspection SER
vice after the explosion ofthe steampipe
ofthe steamer Wakefield, which caused
two deaths. An investigation was
held by board of experts, and, while
the blame for the explosion was not
definitely fixed upon Mr.. Saville, the
evidence at the investigation was such
as to call for his removal from the po-
sition he had held with credit for TWEEN
ty-two years. He was then appointed
clerk to the inspectors, and has held
that position ever since. Some time
ago, however, ii was decided to make
new appointment to that position,
and Mr.. Linn was selected. Mr.. Linn
is Baltimorean, friend of Senator
German, and possesses the necessary
qualifications for the place. including a
knowledge of sienography and type
writing. The salary is 81 200 year.
