Paris, April 5.-rhe senate was crowd
ed today in anticipation of lively debate

posal Of NJ. Bissenit to defer interpella-
tions until after the holidays, the pre-
mier NJ. Bourgeois, declared he could
not add to the explanations on the
Egyptian question which had been fur
nished on Tuesday. He added that the
government yesterday had obtained by
vote of the chamber of deputies proof
that the majority of that body were
assured Ii had sufficient authority to
pursue the pending negotiations, and a
vote in the senate today might lessen
the authority given by the chamber Of
deputies, and therefore he begged the
senate. in the name of France, to post
pona all interpretations until the reas-
sembling Of parliament.
In spite of this appeal motion to
defer the interpretations was defeated.

ply To them.

lowing resolution: The senate, noting
the declaration of the government that
it can not add to its explanations u

mediately afterwards adjourned until

RrvALEp THE BENDER FAMILY
Crimes of Fiend fn an Illinois
County Comes to Light.

Rock Island, Ill, April 2.-Hundreds
of persons today visited the BastIan
farm, which Is in possession of the
sheriff. The finding of the decomposed
body of John Louderbosch under a pile
of rubbish on the farm yesterday
strengthens the general belief that Hem
ry f. Bastlan committed suicide March
3 last becase he feared his criminal
record was about to be laid bare. Fol
lowing is list Of the laborers upon the
farm who mysteriously disappeared
shortly after they We're paid off and dis
charged, who are believed to have been
slain by Bastlan:
Fred Kuschmann, whose body was
found month ago by the road, a mile
from the Bastian farm; John Loud ar-
BOSCH whose remains were uncovered
yesterday, more than year after he
disappeared; Frieze Knernzen, not seen
or heard from since the spring Of 1881;
Marshal Lewis, who disappeared in 1899
Bastian testified at the Kuschmann
inquest that he paid Kuschmanr s79 the
night of his death. He said kusch-
mann rode fractions horse, which re-
turned to the farm without a saddle
He said he then went in search Of
Kuschmann and found him lying dead
by the road mile away. On this tes-
timony the coroner's jury returned
verdict of accidental DEATH" A local
newspaper called public attention TO
the significant fact ignored by the coro-
ner's jury that Kuschmann's oyercoat
had been found on the road, folded up,
with marks of bloody hands upon the
back of 1t. Two silver dollars was all
the money found In his pockets, al
though Bastian swore to paying him
$40 an hour before the finding of the
body. The doctors examination of
Kuschmanns head after the inquest
showed that the wounds had been in
fiicted with club instead of the horses
hoofs, as the coroner's physician had
concluded. When Bastian learned he
was suspected Of the murder he told
contradictory stories. His name was
also connected with the burning of
Farmer McLaughliu's barn two nights
before the robbery.
