Late this evening FRANCHISE was ex-
amined by Prefect Trepine. He was
then communicative. and told the Pre-
feet that in discharging the revolver he
merely wished to attract attention. He
reiterated his statements that he had
no wish to injure anybody. and that the
weapon was loaded with blank cart
ridges
Francois was formerly employed by
the Municipal Council as street sur
veyor in Paris, but was discharged ow-
ing to his presumed anarchistic tenden-
cies. The special offense which led to
his discharge was the publication of
revolutionary verses. He lives at As
Rue Clery. His residence was searched
by the police, but nothing of a suspi-
cious nature was found. The officials
believe that he is dnsane
During the commotion which followed
the firing a reputed anarchist named
Boulant was arrested for saying:
That's the sort of a fellow for me- He
has done the proper thing"
This approval of outrage is penal
offense under NJ Dupuy's anti-anarch-
lst laws, and Boulant stands a good
chance of spending a few of the coming
years in prison.
The feeling of the crowd at the re-
viewing ground is illustrated by its
treatment of a waiter at the cafe at
the Grand Cascade. In some way this
man was mistaken by the crowd for
Francois, and a savage attack was
made upon him. One of his eyes was
torn from its socket and he was almost
lynched before the police were able TO
! rescue him.
On the Presidents return he was
greeted with cheers and congra tula-
tons. This evening the diplomats and
large number of prominent men called

graduated NJ. Faure. Several sover-

AMBUsHED AND SHOT.
Truth of the Story of the Killing of
General Jose MaCeO Confirmed,

PHILADELPHIA, July 14-Cable-
grams received here to-day from Cuba
confirm the truth of the story of the
killing of General Jose Maceo, brother
of General Antonio Maceo, the Cuban
insurgent leader.
From the cablegramS received the
killing of Maceo was nothing more nor
less than cold-blooded murder. It fur
ther appears that a race war has broken
out in the insurgent ranks between the
whites and blacks, and that the shoot
ing of Maoeo is the first incident Of
this unusual conflict. Since the ar
rival in Cuba of General Calixto Gar
cia, that leader and Maceo have not
been friendly. Maceo resented the su-
perior authority conferred upon Garcia
by the Cuban Junta in New York, and
Garcia has been determined to assert
his superior rank.
When the last cargo from the fflibus-
tering steamer Bermuda was landed,
Jose Maceo seized all the arms and am
munition. Garcia protested against
this confiscation. When the last cargo
from the steamer Three Friends was
landed on the coast near Juragua, Ma
GEO marched to the seaboard with $50
men and took possession of the arms
and Asnmun4tton. AS he was returning
from the coast he was ambushed and
shot to death by men who, it was as
serted, were from his own army.
The trouble between blacks and
whites has been further accentuated by
the recent shooting by General Gomez,
after a court martial, of Manuel Con
zalez and several subOrdinates for the
appropriation of $4,000 of cattle tax
funds. Gonzalez and the other men
shot by Gomez Were negroes.

BUT ONE COURSE TO PURSUE.
All Loyal Citizens Should Unite
Against Free Silver.

WASHINGTON, July A. = Hon
Charles II. Haanlin, Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury, when asked to-day If
he had anything to say as to the re-
cent Chicago Convention, replied:
mo political issue is involved in the
coming campaign. The question to be
settled is more far-reaching and import
ant. The perpetuity of the Republican
institutions have been threatened. Ev-
cry loyal citizen should array himself
against the forces which controlled the
Chicago Convention; forces of lawless-
ness which are inconsistent with the
maintenance of the Republic Hence
forth there should be no Republican, no
Democratic party, but a union of loyal
citizens against the combined forces of
repudiation and disorder When once
this dangerous element has been stamp
ed out at the polls by an indignant peo-
pie we can again divide and discuss
those political questions which for gem
erations have kept alive the two great
political parties.

but one result. If they ask us what
about other questions, we tell them that
so long as the right of self-govern-
ment is in danger there is mo other
question. Why discuss questions of
which we have not the power to decide
them?
But I want to impress upon your
minds two things; l want to ask two
questions. They are questions that will
be asked over and over again in this
campaign. They are questions that will
be asked with ever-increaSing empha-
sis. These questions are these; If the
gold standard is a good thing, why
should we try to get rid of 1T; and If
the gold standard is a bad thing, why
should we wait until some other ma
tions are willing to help us let go? We
care not upon which issue they force
the fight. We are prepared to meet
them upon either issue, or both.
Il thank you, my friends and fellow
citizens, for the interest which you have
manifested and for the compliment
you have paid to me by your assem-
blage here to-day. / can but beg of
you that you will remember your duty
as citizens. We stand upon the plat
form adopted at Chicago, and do not
come to you as supplicants to beg for
your votes. Your votes are your own,
and no man is asked to do anything
save as his conscience dictates. And
we beg you to study all the questions
presented, study all the issues involved,
and then let your pledge register free

CRETAN TROUBLES.
Turkish Troops Show No T1ercy for
Women and Children,

CANEA (Crete), July 14.-The Chris
tian delegates in the Cretan Assembly
sitting here withdrew from that body
yesterday, stating that they had re-
solved to formulate a declaration set
ting forth their claims and demands
and to unite in a special Assembly from
which Turks should be excluded from
membership.
The insurgents at Apokorona a day or
two ago killed the crew of a Turkish
bark. The Turkish troops pursued the
insurgents, and in their pursuit fired
upon everybody they met along the
shore, making no discrimination in ia
Vor of women and children, of whom
they killed a great many. The action
of the troops has caused intense excite
merat and indignation, and the foreign
Consuls have made protest against it
to Berovitch Georgi Pasha, the newly
appointed Christian Governor of the
island.

NEBRASKA pOPULISTS.
Seems a Foregone Conclusion That
They VIII Indorse Bryan.

GRAND ISLAND CNeb) July IL
Up to this afternoon the advance guard
of the Populist State Convention made
scarcely noise enough to attract atten-
ton. The evening trains swelled the
number until there are perhaps 200 del
egates now in the city. Night trains
are expected to bring in delegations
from eastern counties and Chairman
Edgerton is confident of a large con-
vention.
The only question which seems to
meet with much discussion is what di-
mensions the fight of the middle of the
road men against instructing the St.
Louis delegates for Bryan will be. 1t
seems to be a foregone conclusion that
Bryan's Endorsement will be easy: that
after Bryan is nominated at st. Louis
the Democrats will be expected to sup
port Holcomb for Governor.
The forces in favor of an independent
ticket are expected to multiply tonight
but their officers are charged with be-
ing boodlers, Republican hirelings, etc,
and the Bryan men feel confident that
they viii carry the day four to one, or
practically unanimously.
Senator Allen arrived late this after
noon, and is tonight making addresses
on the streets. Governor Holcomb and
Senator Allen are expected to head the
delegation to St. Louis.

Electric Lights Popular Because Healthy.

W. Fl. Preece, F. r, s., President or the
British Association.
Electric lighting has become popular,
not alone from the beauty of the light it.
self. but from it's great hygienic quail
ties in maintaining the purity and cool
ness of the air we breathe. The electric
light need rot be more brilliant than gas,
but it must be more healthy. 1t need not
be cooler than wax candle, but il must
be brighter, steadier and more pleasant
to the eye. In fact. it can be rendered
the most perfect artificial illumination at
our disposal, for 1t can illumine room
without being seen directly by the eye;
it can be made absolutely steady and uni
form without irritating the retina; 1t does
not poison the air by carbolie acid oxide
or dirty the decorations by depositing
unconsumed carbon; it does not destroy
books or articles virtu and art by form
ing water, which absorbs sulphur acids,
and it does not unnecessarily heat the
room. In our Central Savings bank in
London, 1t has been found, after two
years experience of electric lighting,
that the average amount of absence from
illness has been diminished by about two
days year for each person on the staff.
This is equivalent to a gain to the time
of about eight clerks in that department
alone.

The Code of the Medical Profession.
Atlantic Medical Weekly,

The absurdities of our Code are ap-
parent, not only to most of the pro-
fessiou but also TO the laity, and the
daily press cannot be blamed for expos
ing our foilbles. A DR.. Kingsbury,
of Blackpool, who allowed his name TO
be used as a consulting physician to a
hydropsthic sanitarium, was accused by
a medical Journal of conduct wholly In
compatible with the honor and dignity oi
the profession ana sought to recover
damages in court OF law. Among the
witnesses summoned were three celebra-
ted physicians. One famous man testified
that the advertisement thus gained was
not ethical and even disspproved the ac-
tion of another famous physiciah who
allowed hi. name TO appear az consul
tant for similar Institution, yet he
though IL perfectly proper that his own
name, vita address should appear on
the widely circulated prospectus OF an
insurance company of which no was an
examiner.
This Is a falling OF many physician
TO see wrong I'm others actions but
nc n Q in their own. The fact that this
episode occurred in LONDON, and that II
was the London Truth which held the
profession up TO ridicule Is immatcrial.

IL is that tho Code prevents our making
moro specific allegations, for we are ex-
pressly prohibited from ell contumelious
and sarcastic remarks relative TO the pro-

from 10 to / to l6 to1, with the effect
seen above.
In 1860 we were a nation of over 80, 900,
0cO OF people, and had no silver on hand.
Now we are & nation Of about 10000, 900
OF people, but have 437, ,ooO, 900 of silver
dollars on hand.
If, WITH ALL OUR POWER IN 1860, WE
WERE UNABLE TO RAISE THE BULLION
VALUE OF GOLD BUT PER CENT, HOW
CAN WE EXPECT TO RAISE THE BULLION
VALUE OF STILL LARGER QUANTITY OF
SILVER NOT MKREJY PER oKNT., RUr
MORE THAN Is TIMES 8, I. r., T PER
CENT?
II, with oser 10000, 900 Of people in
1860 we had been able to raise the bull
lion value Of gold just per cent to par,
then, being two and one-third times a.
great a people now as We were then, We
might expect TO raise the bullion price
Of silver two ana one-third times as
high, that Is per cent, BUT HOW
COULD WE EXPECT EVEN THEN TO
RAISE ITS PRICE NOT CENTS ALONE,
BUT MORE THAN 8 TIMES 7, THAT is At
CENTS ?-EspECIALLY WHEN THE ONLY
POWER WE HAVE TO RAISE IT WITH
IS OUR DEMAND FOR SILVER DOLLARS
AND THAT DEMAND is ALREADY SUPPLIED
TO THE EXTENT OF s437, 900, 900?
Yet unless the price OF the worlds
stock of silver is nearly doubled the
price of bullion must, as we have seen,
INEVITABLY PULL THE VALUE OF THE
sIvLER DOLLAR DOWN, as bullion would
be coined as long as there was profit,
I. e. till the values met.
Mr.. BRYAN has presented his beliefs
on this subject.
Opposed to them stand facts and his
tory. And not merely history Of this
county alone, but Of all countries.
When the mint was first opened the
increased demand would undoubtedly ly
raise the price Of silver bullion some
what, but when this demand was sup
piled (the value OF the silver dollar bav-
ing been brought down to its bullion
value) 1t is evident that with the con-
tinued supply and diminished demand,
the price must fnll of again.
But 1t is to be noted that even II the
silver dollar did not depreciate, we
would not escape the panic. as foreign
and domestic creditors alike believe 1t
would, and they consequently would cali
in debts and force sales just the same.
TRIs PANIC, AS WE HAVE SEEN, MR..
BRYAN FULLY ADMITS, MUST OCCUR.
THEREFORE,, THE CONSEQUENCES OF
TBAT PANIC ARE coNFEssEpLY SURE TO
HAPPEN If HE is ELECTED. j. b. NJ.
