Paris. March 2S.-M. Berthelot, min
lister for foreign affairs, has resigned
on the ground of ill-health and family
reasons. The premier, NJ. Bourgeois,
has succeeded NJ. Berthelot as minister
for foreign affairs and NJ. Doumes, the

discussion between NJ. Berthelot and NJ.
Bourgeois at the cabinet council today.
Dispatches of the gravest character
were received and N. Bourgeois, it aD-
pears, reproached N. Berthelot with hav-
ing mismanaged the Anglo Egyptian
question. Hence the resignation of the
minister for foreign affairs.
La Liberte alleges that the cabinet got
rid of NJ. Berthelot because his handling
of foreign affairs was distasteful to a
majority of the chamber and the news
paper mentioned concludes with pointing
out that N. Bourgeois. who has identi-
fed himself with NJ. Berthelot's policy,
is equally responsible

was considerable excitement in the lob
bies Of the Chamber of Deputies this
evening The general opinion expressed

With Ills Leg broken lie Tried to Cra"I
TO Ills Horse, but
peTiShed.

Wenatchee Wash. Jan. 26.-YeStef-
day morning Lowry Potter, strong,
healthy young man. about 26 years OF
age. left the home of his brother, who
lives near Wenatchee. for the purpose
of going on a deer hunt in the noun
tains near town, expecting to return in
the evening.
He failed to return last night, and his
brother and others, becoming alarmed,
went in search of him today, fearing
some accident had befallen him.
The searching party was not long in
finding the missing man, but arrived
too late to be of assistance, as he was
found cold in death.
1t appears he had received fall and
broken his leg and received other ser
ious bruises some time yesterday after
which he had dragged himself cOnsid-
cradle distance in an effort to reach
his horse.
He succeeded in getting within 200
yards of the horse, when he sank from
exhaustion or tainted from pain, and
froZe to death where he lay, the night
being bitter cold.
His sad and untimely death Is a great
shock to the community, as he was a
great favorite and was known to nearly
every man, woman and child in the val
ley He was unmarried, and leaves

Supreme Court of Idaho Makes a
Decision Affecting Property.
THE CASE FROM LATAH COUNTY
Only SIX Months TO Redeem on Fore
closures Made Prior TO the
Latest Laws.

Boise, Jan. PA case of general in
terest throughout the state was decid-
ed by the supreme court today. The
last legislature amended the law in re-
lation to mortgages so as to give one
year instead of six months in which to
redeem property sold under foreclos-
ure. The court holds that this can not
apply to mortgages executed prior to
the date of the amendatOry act.
The case was that of A. j. Wilder VS..
Frank Campbell, sheriff of Latah cOun-
ty. A mortgage given by Oscar Schu-
man and wife on April %, 1898, to the
Vermont Loan and Trust Company for
$500 was foreclosed March rs, 1895. A
certificate of sale was assigned to Will
der, and at the end of six months he
demanded a sheriff's deed and posses
sion of the property. This was denied,
on the ground that the time for redemp-
ton had been extended. The suit fol-
lowed and the lower court held against
the sheriff, which judgment is affirmed.

COIN SUBSIDIARY SILVER PIECES
Bill Which Will Increase the Treasury
Reserve Many Millions.

Denver, Jan. ga special to the
Times from Washington says: A bill
which is on the program 10 be put
through both houses of congress in
short order provides for the coinage Of
500, 000,0 900 in silver bullion stored in the
mints into subsidiary pieces. 1t is stat
ed that there is always a good demand
for smaller coins in the spring, and
many banks purchasing for their
customers refuse to take pieces which
are at all abradeu. 10 take advantage
of this demand and thus reduce the
bulk of silver in store is regarded as
desirable. The government would de-
rive an extra profit from this, as the
seignora ge-on token coins is about 5
cents more on the dollar than that on
silver dollars. AS it is now there are
$53, 900, 900 seignorage available for the
proposed increase of the subsidiary
coinage. All the rest of the silver is
required by the Sherman law to be
used only for the coinage of standard
dollars, hence the need of the proposed
new legislation in order to make the
amount 500, 900, 900.
