Threatens q Cabinet Crisis

M. SCHEURER.KESTNER
To Bring the Matter Be-
fore the Senate
THE PROMISED SENSATION

OVERTHROW

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK. Dec. GA Journal Paris
special says that the Dreyfus affair
continues to be the sole subject Of con-
versation at Paris. Excitement was
great in the lobbies of the chamber of
deputies and the senate when 1t was
that Scheruer-Kestner. vice.
president Of the senate, will question the
government in the senate tomorrow.
He will be backed UP by Waldeck Rous-
|seau, Frances greatest lawyer and can
didate for the position Of president of
the republic at the last election.
According to the latest information
received tonight 1t Is feared that the
rows crisis. The majority Of the senate
will back up Scheuer- Kestner and will
fight for him tomorrow.
1t is stated tonight that II the gov
ernment loses one vote 1t will not only
mean the resignation of the cabinet but
that Of Felix Faure, president Of the re-
public.
Scheurer-Kestner still declares Drey-
fus innocent, and means to expose to-
morrow some Of the false statements Of
the government. He will also make pub
lie q conversation he has had with the
minister Of war and the prime minister.
He declares that he put before the gov
ernment absolute proofs of the inno-
nence Of Dreyfus, but Meline states that
he has never seen Schuerer-Kestner on
this business.
Tomorrow will be turning point in
the history of France.
The pro- -Esterhazy papers have or
ganized an anti-Dreyfus movement in
the Latin quarter by so-called students
tomorrow in front Of the senate. 1t is
even stated that Scheurer-Kestner will
risk lynching II he attempts to enter the
upper house. They will hoot outside
Figaro, but will raise cheers in front
of the offices of such misleading and par
tisan journals as those directed by
Henri Rochefort, Lucien Millevois, An
Dire vervoot, Edouard Drumont and
other Esterhazy papers. The police
are making active preparations to pre-
vent big riot, but Paris Is in such q
heated state that the smallest spark will
cause a great fire.
Since Esterhazy has acknowledged
that the unpatriotic letters were really
his he has been hated by all Frenchmen,
but in spite of this it is probable that
he will be found innocent, as 1t is gen.
orally stated that since he has been sep
arated from his wife she has been the
intimate friend of Gen. Boisdeffre, who
Is now protector Of Esterhazy. Gen.
Saussier has given orders for troops to
be ready in quarters surrounding the
senate tomorrow. The prefect Of police
Is making arrangements to protect the
Figaro office and all the Jewish banks
and residences, and apparently the
worst is feared.

THE BLYTHE ESTATE
Florence, at Last. Can Read Her Title
Clear

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 6.-Florence
Blythe Hinckley has won most i'm
portant victory in the federal courts,
and her rights to the vast property she
has so long struggled for in the courts
have been fully sustained.
Today United Staes Circuit Judge w.
w. Morrow delivered an opinion revers-
ing decree made some months ago ad-
verse to Mrs. Hinckley, and, going one
step farther. impregnably established
her in full possession of the Blythe mil
lions by non-suiting the contestants to
her property.
Judge Morrow's action in the latter
portion Of his decree this morning ID
based on the grounds that the federal
courts have no jurisdiction in the litiga-
ton; therefore, the final decree Of dis
tribution made by the state courts,
awarding the bulk Of the Blythe estate
to Mrs Florence Blythe Hinckley, must
stand.

White. who arrived here Saturday even-

night. He declared himself as being
much more sanguine and confident con-
cerning the San Pedro harbor matter

having been forced out Of his ambush,

to do the graceful thing and place no
more impediments in San Pedro's way.
The $40O, 900 recommended under the con-

PRESIDENTS MOTHER
GAINS STRENGTH AND 0REETS
HER CHILDREN
Hope Entertained That She May Sur
vive Until Her Son Returns
From the Capital

CANTON, O., Dec. 6.-There was an
agreeable surprise to the children and
friends gathered about the bedside Of
Mrs. Nancy Allison Mckinley this after
noon. She regained consciousness suffi-
GENTLY not only to recognize her
children but to extend greeting to
them, to her aged sister, Mrs. Osborne,
Charles Miller and to others who were
near.
Nourishment was given her about
noon. 1t was soon after this that she
manifested signs Of returning con-
sciousness. The first nourishment re-
ceived for several days had telling eff
feet and she at once rallied. There is
again stronger hope that she may re-
cover sufficiently to survive until the
president reaches her bedside tomorrow
morning and perhaps to recognize him.
1t Is not thought, however, that she will
ever regain complete consciousness.
When the attending physician left Mrs.
Mckinley this evening, it was with a
feeling that she would survive the night
and possibly longer. She had taken
no nourishment since early in the after
dition as when she seemed to recognize
those about her. But she sustained lit
tie net loss Of strength during the day
and was reposing in quiet and SEEM
ingly natural condition.
GROWING WEAKER
At 1:15 am. Mrs. Mckinley seemed
even, weaker than an hour ago, although
there was no more marked indication
of the coming dissolution. She may
live till morning, but it now seems
doubtful.
STILL ALIVE
At 3 am. Mrs. Mckinley Is still living
but seems to be weakening steadily.
There has been no perceptible rally from
the last collapse which has now con-
tipued longer than any Of the earlier
ones. Mrs. Duncan, her daughter, says
she is growing weaker every moment
and scarcely dares to hope that dawn
will find the breath of life in her mother.
The aged woman's rest continues to be
unbroken and the evidence Of weaken
ing is in the pulse and respiration.

Britain's Flags.

Before the crowns of England and Scot
land were united under James /, says the
Scottish American, the flag carried by the
English ships was white, with the red
cross OF st. George emblazoned on it.
while that hoisted upon Scottish ships
was blue. with the cross of ST. Andrew
on it, the red lines of the English flag
being perpendicular and horizontal, and
those of the Scottish flag being diagonal.
Owing to some misunderstanding between
the ships of the two nations, the King
ordered "tnat new flag should be
adopted, having the cross of st. George
fnterlaced with that OF st. Andrew on the
blue ground of the flag of Scotland" All
English ships were to display the red
cross of st. George, and Scottish ships that
of st. Andrew at their sterns. On April
IL, in the year 1906, the Union Jack was
first hoisted at sea, but it was not until
the Parliamentary Union of the two coun-
tries, in the year 1907 that it was adopted
as the military flag of Great Britain.
