PARIS, Dec. 1.-The socialists cannot con-
ceal their disappointment at the reception
accorded to NJ Jaures, the socialist deputy,
for Carmeaux at that place on Sunday. The
ill-feeling toward NJ. Jaures is mainly due
to the establishment of the workmen's CO.
operative glass works at Abb, instead of at
CarmeauX thus creating a competition in
the leading industry at CarmeauX. NJ.
Jaurcs declares he will renew his attempt
to secure a hearing at CarmeauX.
NJ Chauvin the Partisan deputy who was
arrested with the riotous demonstration dur
ing NJ Jaures' speech at CarmeauX, was
proceeding to the Abb Tribunal, where NJ.
Millerand was delivering an Grafton in his
defense, when the news of the decision in
the Chamber of Deputies ordering NJ Chau-
wins release was received. The court there
upon Immediately adjourned. The court
house had been surrounded with a military
Gordon in addition to twenty gendarmes for
purposes of protection during the trial. NJ.
Millerand, in the course of his speech for
the defense, warned the public prosecutor
that the socialist minority in the Chamber
might become a governing majority. The
prosecutor protested against the veiled threat
thus conveyed. At this moment the tele-
gram from the Chamber OF Deputies was
handed to the judge. 1t should be men
toned that nearly half the deputies abb
stained from voting on the question of the
release of NJ. Chauvin, halting between the
fear of protecting disorderly socialists and
an unwillingness to forego an impartial

Topeka, Dec. Judge Thayer OF the
United States circuit court of appeals ar
rived here today to sit with Judge Foster

rather late this afternoon before the case

tions of law as before and In their arguments
the attorneys say the same ground will be
covered with the exception, probably. that
rearguments will be more exhaustive. The
question to be decided Is that of jurisdiction.
Tho arguments are based on the plaintiffs
motion to remand the case back TO the dis
trict court OF Jefferson county, which sets
forth that the case was improperly removed.

contentious of the state and was followed by
General Solicitor Il, d. Kenna and Attorney

nnnrSG SEA CLAIMS COMMISSION.
Progress of the Efforts TO Adjust nm
international Dispute.

VICTORIA, -. c., Dec. 1.-When the
Bering Sea Claims commission met yesterday
General Dickinson stated that he had already
aled an answer in the first case and that the
others would be put in as soon as they were
got ready for the printers. He then filed
motion to dismiss case No. 26 for S62 S2T12
for costs of the Hayward CAGE, The ground
OF the motion was that these cases were in
CURED by the Canadian government and not
by individuals, and, therefore, the claims did
not come before the commission within the
terms OF the convention. In case his friends
on the opposite side INTENDED to press the
claim he would ask an adjournment pending
an answer from his government
Mr. Peters expressed surprise at the mo-
tion and said he certainly intended to press
the claim. The sum named was actually
paid by the Canadian government, which, as
far as the tribunal was concerned, was the
British government.
MIR Dickinson stated that such a case
es this had no more right to be put in
than would a claim for the costs OF his
government before the Paris tribunal. Costs
Incurred by individuals might be put in but
rot costs incurred by either government
They were excluded by the terms of the
convention. Mr.. Peters was satisfied to let
the matter stand over and he further pro-
posed that judgment be delayed in the
Black Diamond and James Gaudin motions
until he had heard from Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, to whom he had wired, and who would
interview Secretary Olney.
Justice King announced that nothing fur
ther would be done in the Hayward costs
until counsel again mentioned II. 1t was
then arranged to take up the Carolina case
Wednesday.
The replies filed by the United States state
generally that the seizures were made in
good faith by officers OF the United States
within the line of their duty and authority
and the mandates of the municipal laws of
the United states for violation of the stat
utes of the United States, and such seizures
were ratified and adopted in good faith by
the government of the United States as for
violation of the statutes.
Section 2 of the reply reads: THE United
States AYERS that before, at the time Of. and
after seizure of said vessels their apparel,
outfit and cargo were wholly or in part the
actual property of a citizen or citizens of
the United States and further. that at the
time aforesaid the beneficial interest in the
whole or in part of said vessels, their ap>
parel. outfit and cargo were possessed and
owned by citizen or citizens of the United
States and that said voyage was entered
upon and prosecuted in whole or in part
for the benefit OF citizens of the United
States"
| The reply further alleges that the damage
claims are speculative and excessive as to
! damages claimed for the arrest and impris-
onment of the masters and mates OF the
| vessels. The United States AYERS that the
| only damages to be considered in the case
| of any liability on the part of the United
States for such arrests and detentions are
| these for actual pecuniary loss and are not
| in their nature primitive or aggregated

President FrcibcrE Presents His An
nunl Report TO the Convention.
LOUISVILLE, Dec. 1.-The fifteenth coun-
Gil of the Union of American Hebrew Con-
gregations convened here this morning in
the Young Mems Hebrew association hall
The session. which will last two days, is at
tended by about $50 rabbis and lay dele
gates from the principal cities of the coun-
try The meeting was opened at 1890 by
President Julius Freiberg OF Cincinnati. DR..
Sale of st. Louis offered the opening prayer,
which was followed by President Freiberg's
report. President Freiberg reviewed the
work Of the Hebrew Union college. which he
said, began with but ten students and a
small endowment fund. He spoke of the
success that each succeeding year brought
the college. He said there were now
seventy students. The American Sabbath
School union, he stated, would offer an
amendment to be incorporated as a part Of
the union. Mr. Freiberg asked the CO.
operation of the union with the national
home farm. which is now in full operation
near Philadelphia. This institution was
founded by Rabbi Kraukopf with the idea
of restoring the Jew to his agricultural
habits. The president further asked the
hearty support of the union to the National
Council of Jewish Women. which held its
first meeting in New York recently. In con-
cluding his report Mr.. Frcbcrg asked all
congregations to join the union. He paid a
graceful tribute to the venerable and dis
tinguished president of the college Rabbi
Isaac M. Wise. This was literally applauded.
With an invocation for divine aid, he CON
cluded his report.
The convention elected Charles Gold
smith of this city temporary chairman and
NJ. a. Marks Of Cleveland secretary. Chair
man Goldsmith then appointed committees
on credentials and permanent organization.
After short recess some minor affairs were
transacted and Samuel Grabfelder OF Louis
vile was made permanent chairman of the
meeting and took the chair.
Rabbi A. Moses Of the home congregation
introduced Prof. Flexner, who read fine
address on "The Religious Training Of Chill
dren."
During the afternoon session a committee
OF five was appointed to arrange for the rep
resentation of the union in the parliament
of religions to be held at the Tennessee Cen
tennial exposition in 1897.
A great deal of wrangling was INDUCED
in over the question of changing the time
of the next biennial convention. 1t was
finally decided to leave the time unchanged.
After the adjournment Of the session at
$3.50 p. m. special meetings were held by
the executive committee of the central coun-
Gil of rabbis and alumni of the Hebrew
Union college

WASHINGTON, Dec. l.-Senator PETER Of
Kansas, the only popuist senator in the
city, said today that the p1pullsts would
not put anything in the way of the passage
of Senator Chandler's plan for an interna-
tional monetary commission, save a state
ment Of their views as TO its utter useless
ness They might avail themselves Of the
opportunity OF discussing the money quos-
tion generally. THE populsts' said the
senator, do not regard money as a subject
for international consideration at all. We
believe that it is a purely local matter
for the people of the different nations There
never has been any international money
and, from our standpoint. there never will
be any, except obligations on paper for the
settlement Of international balances"

AJACCIo, Corsica, Dec. 1.-The report,
cabled exclusively to the Associated press
last night from Vienna that Lieutenant
Prince Ernest Won Windisch-Gratz, belong
ing to the younger branch of that family,
had been robbed by Corsican brlgands, is
correct. Three armed men entered the hotel
at Vizzavona, where he was stopping with
Dr. Meade and asked to see the prince.
The spokesman of the party then entered
the princes room and demanded money,
whereupon the traveller called to DR.. Meade
and told him to give the brigands 1000
francs. This was done. and the men left
the hotel They were subsequently arrested.

SUDDEN INTEREST IN CANADA.
London Editors Showing Signs of Rec
OgniHing The Dominion.

LONDON, Dec. LIN the course of an
editorial discussing the probability of tariff
revision in the United States and Canada,
tho st. James Gazette today urges the gov
ernment to give attention to the needs of
Canada, which it says constitutes question
of infinitely more Importance than those at
taching to Guiana and South Africa. The
ST. James Gazette's article continues: at
would be well before it is too late for the
government and Parliament to consider
whether the Dominion has received the at
tention IL deserves. The consolidation of
the empire is an absolute necessity, yet
nothing is doing to accomplish what Mr..
Chamberlain long ago promised What has
he done and what is he going to do for
Canada?"
Continuing, the St. James Gazette points
out Canada's temptations and to the al
legged boast of the Anglophobe American
papers that she has no chance even of a
customs union until Canada joins the United
States"
