LA CHAMPAGNE STILL OVERDUE.
THE FRENCH LINER NOT S1GHTED-NO
FEARS FOR HER SAFETY FELT BY THE
AGENT OF THE COMPANY


AGENT OF THE COMPANY
The French IAne steamer La Champagne was
not sighted last night She IL now four days over
due and while her agents do not express any
anxiety over the safety OF the vessel they do be
leve that II Is more than rough weather that has
delayed her.
The La Champagne left Havre February IL
with three hundred and four passengers on board
or these forty-eight first cabin. ffty-three
second cabin. and two hundred and three steerage
passengers NJ Bocande. agent Of the French
Line said that ne did not have the advance list Of
the passengers on the steamer
There were many anxious inquiries the office
OF the company yesterday by those who had friends
on board the overdue steamer. and all assured
by the officers that there was no cause for worry
layed by a break in her machinery and that it
might be several days before she would he sighted
The agents called attention 10 the excitement
over the La Gascogne. which ten days
due three years After the vessel had been
given up as lost she limping into port on the
tenth day.
The agent stated that La Champagne carries
duplicate parts OF all her machinery. and II there
any break IT might take several days to repair
IT, and II this could not be done she might have 20
be towed into port
In speaking of the delay NJ Bocande said yes
tcrday: La Champagne due here AT ? O'Clock
Sunday morning. II is not an infrequcnt thing for
vessels OF any line TO be missing as long a. that
The Champagne has careful commander, and
there is doubt in my mind that when he en-
countered the storms he ran At half speed or less.
Even that much would account for the delay
The officers OF La Champagne are: Captain. NJ.

But governor Lee has not shown his

soft jobs at the expense of the state.
Many people have wondered why he is
SO bitter at Attorney General Grigsby,
who travelled over the state with him
during the last campaign and to whose
efforts he owed his election. The reason
is this. When the investigation COM

look over thu various state Offices,
presented their bills. the state auditor
refused to allow them, on the ground
that the commission was illegally con-
stituted and asked the Populist attor-

Del Val, is one Of the pope's personal
chamberlains now in the diplomatic

that Spain cannot discuss the proposals,
but accepts them because they are i'm
posed on her by force. 1t leaves the
following questions to be decided by the
peace commissioners. The Cuban debt;
the date and manner Of evacuating Gu

Spanish interests and Spaniards there;
whether Spain shall withdraw her arms,
ammunition and artillery now in Cuba
