PRESIDENT FAURR.

inches in diameter, with thickness Of
half an inch, charged with powder and
swan shot, exploded.
No one was injured by the explosion.
A man in the crowd, suspected as the
prime mover, was arrested. He gave
his name as Gallet and made only the
briefest replies to questions put to him
by the police. He is believed to be in
sane.
The news of the attempt spread like
wild fire through the city and when M.
Faure returned to the Elysee the streets
along the route where it was known he
would drive were crowded with people
who cheered him vociferously.
Mr.. Faure Not Badly Scared.
LONDON, June 14.-The Paris CORE
spondent of The Daily News says: M.
Faure behaved with perfect self-com-
mand and continued to bow right and
left to the crowd after the explosion as
if nothing unusual had happened. The
horses attached to M. Faure's carriage
reared wildly at the explosion, but were
whipped on by the driver.
Rousteaux, the detective who is al

ward and grappled with man, but was
Immediately set upon by half dozen
persons in the crowd, probably accom-
plices Of the would-be assassin. The
crowd mistook the detective for an an
archist and were about to lynch him.
He was beaten, kicked, spat upon and
not rescued by the police until bleeding
and unconscious from terrible beating.
The attempt on the life of M. Faure
was made on the very spot where Bere-
zowsky tried to shoot the czar while
driving to the military review at Long
Champs in 1867, and where Francois, a
lunatic, fired his revolver at M. Faure
on July IA last.

Hawaiian Treaty Question I'm
settled and Will Cause
Much Debate.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE sugar
schedule of the tariff bill is expected to
continue to be the subject of considera-
ton in the senate for the next day or
two. The Hawaiian treaty and anti
trust amendments are still to be dis
posed of, and both will excite consider
able debate. With the sugar question
settled, the agricultural schedule, which
has been partially considered, will be
again taken up, and will i'll time be fol-
lowed by the tobacco schedule, if, in the
meantime, the Republicans agree upon
its provisions. The Republican man
ayers hope to also dispose of the spirit
and cotton schedules during the week,
and possibly to make some progress
with the hemp and fax provisions. The
Republican managers now hope that
the debate in the senate will be con-
cluded within the next two weeks, not
withstanding less than one-third of the
bill has been gone over.

Republican Senators Caucus or the Ila-

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Repub-
ican senators We're in caucus two hours
and devoted the entire time to an effort
to agree on course of action to be pur-
sued with regard to the Hawaiian reci-
procity treaty in connection with the
sugar schedule Of the tariff bill. The
meeting of the senate at IL o'clock
forced an adjournment before there was
time to reach conclusion, and the eau
Gus dispersed to meet again at 4:30.
In the course of his speech in the eau
Gus, Senator Frye said that the contem-
plated treaty of annexation with Hawaii
would not contain, as did the former
treaty, a provision appropriating $4,000
for ex-Queen Liliuokalani. The presi-
dent did not approve it and the Ha-
waiian government did not ask it.
The general opinion is that the ulti-
mate result will be an agreement to
continue the house provision, continu-
ing the present treaty in effect, coupled
with recommendation to the president
to enter into negotiations for new
treaty modifying the terms of the pres
ent treaty, but without limiting him
as to time.
