EMPRESS EUGENIE'S FLIGHT.
Who Was 1t That Assisted Her to
Escape?

A tempest in a teapot is raging in
France. 1t was caused by a recent
| speech of NJ. Anatole France, in which
he gave NJ. de Lesseps credit for es-
corting the Empress Eugene on the
night of her flight from the French
Capital, September 8, 1870. DR.. Evans,
an American, whose fortune was made
from the fact that he was the Empress
dentist, says that it was not NJ. de Les
seps, but he who aided the Empress to
escape from the Tuileries, and that she
found shelter in his house until she
found means of leaving Paris, and
| that he afterward accompanied her to
London.
This last assertion has thrown Paris
into quiver of establishment, curiosity
and conjecture. The papers are filled
with different versions of the historical
flight of Eugenie from the Palace of
the Tuileries, and in not one does Dr.
Evans name appear. The version
which is regarded as most authentic is
the following:
"On the departure of the Emperor
for the seat of war in 1870, the EN-
press assumed the regency, and on the
afternoon of September Sd received the
tidings of the capture of Sedan. and the
news that her husband was a prisoner
of war. Prince Metternch, the Aus
trian ambassador urged her to fly, and
the Tuileres was in the greatest confu-
sion when she left the palace at mid
night, accompanied only by few faith
full friends, and directly after the mob
invaded her apartments. Plainly
dressed, the Empress was recognized
only by a boy, whose exclamation
passed unnOticed, and she entered a
common cab in an adjacent street,
while the crowd of nearly a thousand
persons, uttering violent cries against
the Emperor, passed close by her. The
fugitives drove rapidly to the railroad
station, intending to proceed to Eng
land. After spending a few days near
Brussels the Empress embarked at
Ostend for Dover, and thence to Hast
ings, where she met her son, with
whom she left for Torquay. on Sep
tember 24th they took up their resi-
dence at Chiselhurst, where the EN-
peror joined them in March, 1871"

After the capture of Dongola the
pursuit of the retiring Dervishes by
land was confined to what mounted
troops of cavalry, horse artillery and
camel corps could do. Repeatedly,
when hard pressed, the Baggaras
turned fiercely upon their pursuers. In
one of these encounters Captain Adams
of the Scots Greys had a very narrow
escape. He was close upon the Bag
garas when led by an Emir of some
rank, they turned suddenly and
charged. The British officer rode
straight a. them followed by his troop.
An Emir on big horse was about to
engage with him, when Captain Adams
pony stumbled, and the Emir, turning
to make cut, brought his horse
against the pony's quarters, causing
pony and rider to roll in the dust. 1t

NATIONAL LEAGUE PROSPECTS,.

Washington, Nov. 7.-President Nick
Young, who leaves tomorrow to attend
the annual meeting of the National Base
ball League at Philadelphia, made this
statement with reference to the constitu-
ency of the league next year;
Every fall brings the usual rumors or
the dissolution of the partnership of the
league and the return to the old organi-
cation of eight clubs, after the fashion
of the eight-club league and the Ameri-
can association. The conference of 1891
that brought about the twelve-club
league settled compact for ten years,
and there is no possible change of re-
organization until the expiration of that
compact. Besides, the league. is incor-
porated as a regular partnership, and It
would be legal impossibility to break
this compact. Even at the expiration OF
tbe twelye-club agreement the major
league will, in my opinion, be reorganized
along the same lines and with the same
number of clubs. :.
"TTnless there is radical change IN
tbe twelye-club circuit because of the
falling off in attendance at one or more
cities. the next reorganization, which VIII
he brought about in 1901, will consist OF
twelve clubs, with possibly change OF
not more than one city IN the circuit.
