ALMOST A TRAGEDY
The chimay Threatened With Mad
house and Mobbing

. LONDON, April ia dispatch 10
the Times from Paris says that the
secret withdrawal of the Princess chi
NAV Caraman, nee Ward, of Detroit
from the Folies Bergere is found in the
fact that friends of the family had re-
solved to place her children in the front
row of the theater. A crowd OF Bel
pian friends of Prince Cnimay had ar
ranged to come from Charleroi. Ihey
were to simultaneously raise the cry
of ITO the madhouse!"
Some of the Belgian friends OF the
prince proposed to provoke duel with
Rigo. This challenge the companion
of Prince Chimay need not OF course
have accepted. Nevertheless the tragic
side of her adventure the correspondent
of the Times concludes, may have peen
nearer than was generally supposed.

FINE WINES OF FRANCE
NEED ALL THE TRUMPETING
OBTAINED
Foreign Consuls Will Be Cautioned
Against Accepting Other Than
Official Statements as True

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE re-
marka BILE statement of the French pre-
mier, Mons Hanotaux. as to the position
of the French government toward the
pending tariff bill, which was made the
subject of a special cable dispatch by
the Associated Press yesterday, has at
tracted great attention in official circles
here. Particular interest has been ex-
cited by the criticisms on the American
consular officers in Frauce, and investl-
cation makes it apparent that the sub
ject has recently been discussed by the
diplomatic representatives of the two
countries, and that our government,
finally conceding the correctness of the
ceeueu s-.L>s-that oilr cnneuls ex-
the French wines, decided to print In the
same publication which contained the
consular reports a statement in vindica-
ton of the wines. The complaint Is no
new one. so far as the French govern
ment is concerned. For the past twenty
wears our consuis in France, in their re-
ports to the state department, have had
much to say as to the extent of adultera-
tion of French wines and brandies. The
latest publication, however, which has
brought down the wrath of the French
government upon our consuls came from
Consul Chancellor at Havre, and was
printed in the United States consular
reports of date July last. This was
general report on ''Wine-making In
France" and in its course Mr.. Chancel-
1or made some strong statements.
The French objection to the statement
of the consul was that he was not cup
ported by official figures, but had ac-
cepted mere hearsay statements and the
gossip of newspapers and ex parte re-
ports as the basis for the statements,
which were calculated to greatly harm
the reputation that the French wines
had earned, not only in the United States
but in every country in the world. The
state department made inquiry into the
matter and without going behind the
regulations II had established, was
obliged to confess judgment, for its
standing instructions to it's consular Of
ficers are to avoid accepting as the
! basis for offiial reports anything less
than official statements. ETC., else ex-
planatory notes should be attached. The
! ter is now, however. as before stated
already adjusted, and with the publ
cation of the explanatory statement In
the next number of the United State:

Found Against w. Godfrey
Hunter
A SENATORIAL CANDIDATE
INDICTED FOR THE OFFERING
OF BRIBEs
His Friends Insist That It Is Perse-
cution and the Aspirant Will
Not Withdraw

Associated Press Special Wire.
LOUISVILLE, KY, April ia spe-
cial to the Evening Post from Frankfor;
says:
The Franklin county grand jury re-
turned true billie against DR.. w. Godfrey
Hunter. the Republican nominee for
senator; ex-Congressman Henry VIII.
son of the Eleventh district E. r.
Franks. Second district; Captain Noel
Gaines and his brother-in-law. Thomas
Tanner of Frankfort. Those named
have been indicted for conspiracy to
bribe. All are Republicans with the ex-
ception of Gaines and Tanner.
The indictments were all included in
one bill and filed in court at 120 o'clock.
The news at once became public and Gre
ated the greatest indignation among the
Republicans, all of whom denounced 1t
as a conspiracy among the Frankfort
Democrats to 'humiliate and defeat
Hunter.
When the indictments had been re-
turned Judge Cantrill ordered that bench
warrants be issued for the arrest of the
dCCuStQ anu iClhi ithbiC iCh thC
next term of court, which is in Septem-
ber. Bail was fixed at $3.50 in each case.
Judge Cantril said:
"I do not think it proper to try the
cases at this term of court, but If the
parties come in and ask for an immedi
ate trial I will proceed with it at once;
otherwise 1t will go until September"
Conspiracy to bribe is common law
offense in Kentucky. the penalty being
fine or Imprisonment.
1t is not believed here that the indict-
ments will force Hunter to withdraw.
On the contrary. it is believed that 1t
will solidify his forces. and he will stand
like a stone wall against all opposing
forces from now on, as the majority OF
here are inclined to the
opinion that 1t is nothing more or less
than a political persecution. The bolt
ing representatives are gleefully urging
a call for another caucus. Hunter men
insist that if a new caucus is called they
will again win.

who has recently headed the opposition
to the leadership of Bailey, rose to a
question of personal privilege.
De Almond made the declaration that
large majority of Democrats expected
their representatives in congress to op-
pose Republican policies. They had not
contemplated that there would be any
consideration or accidental concurrence
of Democrats in policies born in Repub-
lican councils for the overthrow of the
Democratic party. He asserted it had
been heralded abroad that there was
disposition on the part of certain Demo-
Gratis to rebel against established leader
ship agreed upon by caucus. What had
been done and what had not been done
in the last caucus had been published by
those who were dead to its obligations
of secrecy, but If all the action of the
caucuses was known no one could say
that there was any rebellion against the
desire of the party expressed.
II claim that what 1 have done and
what those who have acted with me
have done. is in exact accord with the
decision in the last caucus"
De Almond said that he hadthe great
est respect for the abilities of the dis
tinguished gentleman from Texas. but
I don't like his judgment in these mat
ters." De Almond said he had no de-
sire to filibuster. only to make legitimate
opposition. The Democrats would pre-
sent a beautiful spectacle travelling
around the country saying that the Re-
publican policy Of conducting congress
was good policy.
"They are your policies" he said, ad-
dressing the Republicans. I'VE don't
want them to become ours by adoption /
or otherwise. The lines were drawn at |
and they will stay drawn"
Dingley said that all the Democrats
could possibly do would be to force the
house to meet every day to adjourn, in
stead of every third day. He concluded |
with a motion to adjourn, and at las, |
with Bland endeavoring to get a recog- |
milton for his resolution, and with sew
eral other members trying to catch the |
speakers eye, the house adjourned until
Wednesday.
