B. & o. Imprsvement..

The work of straightening the track and reducing the grade at Tabbs Station on the second division of the Baltimore X Ohio railroad was recently completed, and the hrst tram to use the new line was No. l, the New York and St. Louis flyer. A heavy grade and three bad curves have been elim mated by this work. A mile east, at Meyers Hole, similar improvement has also been completed after months of work. Several reverse curves and a nasty and dangerous dip are done away with at this point. Near Myers Hole, at Tablers, the alignment of the track IS being materially changed, and, as in the other two improvements, bad grades and sharp, annoying curves are being re- moved. This part of the work will be done Tn sixty days and then series of very dan. gerous places will have been entirely re. moved This work in it's entirety means the hauling of several additional cars in each freight train, besides reducing the danger ot derailments to almost nothing The sec ond division, running from Cumberland to Brunswick, will soon be in first-class con. ditIon and more cheaply operated than ever.

EXCITEMENT IN PARIS.
Departure of President Faure for
 His Visit to Russia.
SOME MISCREAAT EXPLODED 4 BOMB.
The President Had, However, Passed the Spot Ten Minutes Previous, But the Event Created the Widest
 Kind of Excitement.
President Faure or for St. Petersbug.

PARIS, Aug. 19.-The departure of President Faure on his visit to the czar at St. Petersburg was marked by a scene of greatest excitement. accom- panied by the circulation of the wild est kind of rumors. After his depar- ture bomb exploded along the route the president had followed. and al- though no damage was done, and in spite of the fact that nobody was hurt, the most intense excitement prevailed for long time afterwards, and the sen sational reports had it that those who exploded the bomb had intended an outrage of a more serious nature.

lnopTING THE DICTION OF DIPLOMACY.
Admiration Declared to be the Only Civil- ;ued Exit From International Diff- culty- The United States Sug-
 gested as Arbitrator.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S. Minister Hoshi of Japan has returned from a visit to Marquis Ito, at New York, and after going over the last official mail from Japan left for his summer cottage st Berkeley Springs. Madam Hoshi and her children have utilized the hot season for trip to Japan, and will re- turn in the autumn.
 There are no developments in the Hawaiian-Japanese controversy, and no reply has been received to Secretary sberman's last communication. The nress opinion of Japan has become much more conciliatory, and the arbi- trasion negotiations between Japan and Hawaii are regarded as disposing of the chances of trouble between the United States and Japan.
 The Japan Mail explains that the man-of-war Naniwa was not dispatched to Honolulu for the purpose of making an armed demonstration, but simply to secure the orderly behavior of Japanese subjects in Hawaii. It adds that apan is to be congratulated that arbitration,
  national difficulty, has been selected as means of settling mere question of compensation.
 The Mainisch Shimbun urges that the United States should be compli- mented by being named as arbitrator rather than Norway and Sweden. It says that a decision by the United States could be relied upon as fair, and, under existing circumstances, it would probably be in Japan's favor.
 The latter suggestion has aroused discussion in Japanese papers, and the Japan Mail, while approving the plan, says the United States would not be willing, from considerations of delicacy to act as arbitrator.
 There are, however, some exceptions to this cordial expressions.

BROWN ALUMNI,
Petition to the Brown Corporation Being
 Circulated.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Aug 19-The fol- towing petition, which is to be pre- sented to the Brown corporation at it's meeting on September l, is being cir cnlated among the alumni of the uni versity for signatures:
 AS alumni of Brown university deeply in- terested in her welfare and jealous of her good same' we respectfully address your honorable oooy with reference to the action of the com mittee appointed by you to confer with Presi- aene Andrews regarding the best interests of the university
 Ahe recent correspondence between that committee and President Andrews has rightly or wrongly been interpreted to mean that the president and faculty of Brown university are eslied upon to renounce their cherished rights VI freedom Of thought and speech, and that the proprlety of their expression of opinion is to " measured by it's pecuniary value to the uni yersity
 rms interpretation is giving Brown univer- si'y widespread reputation for intolerance s snu mereenary standards inconsistent with her history and damaging to her good name and usoiuiness and is further giving color to the .aarge that our universities in general exist for , ue propagation of ideas forvored by certain siasses rather than of the discovery and dissem- nation of truth
 we can not remain silent while our honored VI, ms'ltutlon of learning is thus msrepresented.
 w therefore appeal to you to take no action upon the resignation of President Andrews, .h snlch will erectually refute the charge suae reasonable liberty of utterance was or % ever Is to be denied to any teacher of Brown unlserSlty. We ask that by emphatic vote you snai announce to the public that enighten ed " 'soieration shall be the guide of our alma mater .io .Ae future us it has been the dearest tradi- ton Of the past

 While They Remained In the City.

While They Remained In the City.
 CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-All the policemen in the Harrison Street district were engaged in watching SloO, 900 in money last night, and inciden tally made cer- tain that the young man who was carrying the fortune around with him was not escorted to the lake front to ''see the steamboat explosion. f" T. A. Walker is the son of the Salt Lake millionaire, and has been in the east for some time attending to busi- ness matters for his father. In New York city he was held up and robbed of 5000 and fine gold watch. When he reached Chicago Tuesday he registered at the Victoria hotel with his wife. and then went out to purchase a revolver that he might be prepared should he en- counter another lot of footpads. When he purchased the weapon he also bought diamonds worth $1. 900, and in paying the bill pulled out a roll of money containing S100, O00
 , Policemen Granger and Flynn, with Inspector Hartnett, were standing in front of the store and saw the money. The officers suspected something was wrong and shadowed Walker to his hotel, where they were sat isfed as to his identity. When Inspector Barnett was told the story he at once made a detail of policemen, who kept their eyes riveted on Walker until midnight, when he and his wife boarded Rock Island train for Peoria

The Forrest City times., 1897-08-20


 The presid ent received an ovation from the public when he started on his journey to Russia, large crowds of peo- pie lining the route from Elysee palace to the railway station, and greeted the president with enthusiastic cries of ''Vive la Republique; Vive la Russie; Vive le Fauren
 Ten minutes after the presidents de- parture, while the crowds were return ing along the route traversed by M. Faure, bomb exploded at the corner of the Boulevard Magenta and the Rue Lafayette, in front of the restaurant Duval.
 IT CAUSED A PANIC.
 The report caused a panic in the neigh borhood, and all sorts of wild stories were circulated, based on the statements attributed to anarchists, that their next effort would be an att tempt upon the life of President Faurs. Upon investigation by the police, how ever, it developed that the explosion caused but little damage, and that mo- body was hurt. The bomb was of cylindrical form, was covered with yell low paper and appears to have con- tained a black substance, possibly coarse gunpowder, mixed with large headed nails, similar to those usually found in
 THOROUGHLY CONSTRUCTED INTERNAL
 MACHINES, ssed by the less intelligent class of anarchists. Fragments of the bomb were taken to the prefecture of police, where they were submitted to a thor ough examination upon the part of ex- perts, who pronounced the bomb to have been comparatively harmless affair.
 The coincidence of the explosion of the bomb along the route recently fol- lowed by the president was the subject of considerable comment and an official investigation into the affair is in progress.
 SCRAPS OF PAPER FOUND.
 Scraps of paper were found about the scene of the explosion inscribed "Vive la Liberte," and Tive la Bologne," ap- parently indicating that the author of the explosion was the same individual who caused the recent explosions in the Bois de Cologne and the Place de la Concorde.
