nations to the President.

On the Failure of the Chamber of Depu-
tiea to Adopt a Vote of Confidence In
the Governments Course Regarding the
Railway Convention.
Deputies today. n. Milleraud, Socialist, in
view of..the resignation of NJ. Barthou. min
lister of public. works. raised an interpella-
tion in regard to the guarantees of interest
upon railway shares under the convention
of 1888. N. Milleraud reproached the minis
try for the failure to support NJ. Barthou in
demandin limit TO the guarantees pro-
posed by the Chamber, and to appoint
commission of inquiry to decide whether
NJ. Raynal, formerly minister of public
works should Ee prosecuted. NJ. Raynal
replied to M. Milleraud's speech, but his re-
marks were extremely temperate.
NJ Rayna1 assented to proposal to ap-
point commission of inquiry and Premier
Dupuy explained the position OF the minis
ters and held that N. .Barthou's resignation
was needless. The Chamber voted on the
question of appointing a committee and
the proposal was carried 253 to 225. M. Por-
qury de Boisserin offered a resolution in
viting the government to vigorously defend
the rights of the state in dealing with the
railway convention. The Chamber voted
2s3 to 231, to give priority to the proposal of
M.Porquery de Boisserin over all other or
ders of the day. Premier Dupuy declared
the ministry would resign IL the vote was
insisted upon, where upon the Chamber re-
versed the decision by vote Of 2s4 to 24s.
NJ. Dupuy held that the Chamber in CIV
ing priority tossuch asresolution showed
want of confidence in the ministry, hence
the reversal of the Chambers decision.
At five minutes past seven the Chamber
by a vote of 2d8 against 24l. rejected the reso-
luton offered by NJ. Tlelat. approving the
governments conduct throughout in deal
ing with the railway conventions. and also
approving the governments dissertation
from the acts of NJ. Barthoau.
Premier Dupuy ascended to the tribune
and said AFTER this vote the Chamber
must understand that the Cabinet cannot
continue to participate in its deliberations"
The ministers then left the Chamber in
indian file and proceeded to the palace OF
Elysee and rendered their designations to
President Casimfr- -Perier.

Ieved He Left Statement for the Bank
Examiner.
Dover, N. H., January 14.-Isaac f. Alb
bott, cashier of the Dover National bank,
is defaulter, and the amount of the de-
falcation is estimated to be about $S0.OOO.
The discovery of the defalcation was made
by Bank Examiner Dorr OF Somersw orth,
who began an examination of the bank last
Friday. He asked Mr.. Abbott certain ques-
tions which the cashier said he would ex-
plain next morning.
When the examiner came again Saturday
morning. it was found that lie safe could
not be opened, and Mr.. Abbott failed TO ap-
pear. He was at home and stated that he
would explain all Monday.
The failure of the cashier to say any thing
was brought to the attention of the bank
officials. and Examiner Dorr at once de-
clared Abbott a defaulter.
District Attorney A.. A. Branch of Man
chester, and United States Marshall Camp
bell were at once telegraphed for to place
Abbott under arrest. but could not connect
to arrive until today.
Abbott remained at home all day and
Chief Of Police Fogerty detailed officers to
guard the house.
To New England Associated Press rep
resentative Mr.Abbott said he should make
no attempt to escape.
He said.the object of setting the time lock
ahead was TO give him time to notify his
sons and daughters before they saw the
newspaper account.
He stated that the vault would open this
morning at 9.o'clock. when the vault was
unlocked Bank Examiner DoIr posted
notice that the bank had suspended bust
ness until its affairs could be.straightened
out.
Intense excitement prevails, as Mr.. Alb
bott was a respected citizen and was also
cashier of the Five-Cent Savings bank and
was city treasurer. The depositors will
lose nothing but their money.is tied up.
State Bank Commissioners Lyford and
Hatch arrived today and took charge of
the savings bank.
They make the statement that the bank
is all right. Mr.. Abbott's bond was issued
for $4,000 By the North American Guaran-
tee.
ed States Marshal Campbell arrived at the
house of Isaac =. Abbott. the defaulting
cashier of the Dover National bank.a oroth-
er of Abbott's heard areport of.a pistol, ,and
rushing to the cashiers room found him
lying on the floor with his face shattered
and covered with blood. Life was extinct.
1t is believed that the dead cashier has left
a,detailed statement for Examiner Dorr.

making good his promises to have
his business under his own control

discharge Of the receivers OF the
Trenton Rubber company and the
Eastern Rubber company, two Of

Cholera Conditions at Hawaii.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept 49,
A gentleman of this city has re-
ceived letter from his brother
who is member of the National
Guard at Honolulu. The letter
bears the date OF Sept. 9Th, and in
commenting on the cholera situa.
ton in the Sandwich islands ex-
presses the belief that the reports
as received in the United States are
exaggerated. The United States
steamer Bennington was anchored
outside of quarantine and there
has been but one death from chol-
era on board. The United States
steamer Olympia, en- route to Chi
ma, decided not TO touch the har-
Dor, and coal was to be taken out
to her. The letter says that the
cholera is confined almost entirely
to the natives. Owing to their SUI
perstition they are difficult to treat
and new cases are rarely reported
in time for successful treatment.
AS result the death rate Is very
large. The natives think the doc
tors give them medicine to Kill If
the disease does not. Nine out OF
ten cases are fatal. The infected
districts are under a strict quaran-
tine and soldiers are constantly on
duty.

Langtry win Quit the Stage,

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Sept. 1S.-
Mrs. iEmilie Charlotte Langtry,
whose action for divorce from her
husband, Edward Langtry, was
filed yesterday in the superior
court of Lake county, where the
famous Jersey Lily has consider
able property, specifies as her
grounds for divorce, desertion and
failure to provide for herself and
daughter, a girl of IA years. The
complaint further requests that
the custody of the child Jeanne be
awarded to the mother. It is un-
derstood that there will be no con-
test. Attorney McPike says that
Mrs. Langtry is expected to return
to her home in Lake county soon,
as she has grown very weary Of
her histrionic ventures. The place
will be made the centre for a gay
throng and will become the rem.
devious for people Of distinction.
From this it is believed that Mrs.
Langtry has definitely decided to
abandon the stage. 1t Is not known
that she contemplates a new mat.
rimonial venture should her
prayer for q release from the bonds
which unite her to Edward Lang
try be granted. She Is expected to
arrive in San Francisco within six
weeks.
