, colleagues left the senate, and M. Fal.
Heres ordered the senator's to sit be.
hind closed doors.
ting M. Fallieres announced that the
senate had decided, by vote of 234
against 80. to allow prisoners to be
represented by counsel during the pre-
liminary inquiry, but that the question
of the competency Of the senate to sit
as high court to try the charges had
been adjourned until after the con-
clusion of the preliminary inquiry.
This is tantamount to an adjournment
of the high court for several weeks at
least.
The general comment in the senate
lobbies was that the indictment dis
played the ridiculous but still criminal
character OF the royalist intrigues to
overthrow the republic.
Several papers yesterday revived tho
rumor that the Duke. of Orleans is
shut up with M. Guerin in Fort Cha
brol, the headquarters Of the anti
Semitic league, which has been besieg-
ed since Aug. 12. 1t is believed, how
ever. that the duke is in Austria. The
silence of the royalist pretender at this
stage is not surprising, and is not
taken to be any ground for supposing
him to be with Guerin.
The most rigorous precautions were
taken for the safety of the senate
building yesterday afternoon. 1t was
kordoned by police, who were stationed
every few yards, while every gate lead
ing to the Luxembourg palace was
guarded by detachment of municipal
guards. Nobody was allowed to enter
the court yard or even remain in the
precincts Of the palace without card
of entry =

little change in the situation here, but
what little there is is for the better.
Sell Cummins, the wounded negro, died
late Sunday night making total Of
five killed. Four more were seriously

The coroner's jury is still in session
and will not adjourn before tonight.
Mayor Zimmerman comes out In a
signed statement in which he says that
Governor Tanner sent personal rep
resentative to him and told him that
If the better class of citizens would
sign an agreement to the effect that
they would guarantee that there would
be no more loss of life or rioting, the
governor would remove the troops.
Mayor Zimmerman told this repre-
sentative that the governor sent the
troops here without consulting the
citizens of Carterville and that he
could remove them the same way, but
that as long as the negroes remained
at the Brush mines just so long might
he expect to hear of trouble here.
Residents of Herrin were halted
Sunday night by guards near the Brush
mines and placed under arrest while
on their way home from Centerville.
They were taken to Marion yesterday

moment that the protection and good
order that has been maintained during
the past can be continued under such
circumstances, because the city is fast
growing in population, and is there
fore making greater demands for accom-.
modations.
"The Board Of Police Commissioners
pay annually over $500 in rents, officers
quarters and for patrol station, and in
my judgment the amount could be well
used towards new station house.
II do not hold any particular branch
OF our municipal government responsible
for this state OF affairs, but do charge 1t
with Indifference on the part orc city
officials.
''The city solicitor having rendered an
opinion as to the right OF the board to
lease suitable property to meet the re-
quirements of the police department, l
would recommend that the board lease
the property formerly occupied by the
United States Government at the corner
of Sixth and King streets, or some other
suitable building and convert the same
into modern police station, with pat
rol station attached"
The chief calls attention to the fact
that this department has lived within its
appropriation Of the $4,000 appropriat-
ed, there being a balance to our credit
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1899,
OF $245l, Notwithstanding we have
made some important improvements in
every branch of the service. OF the
amounts expended, $50, SS0.l2 went for
salaries, and ST., $50 03 for clothing.
The chief expresses his appreciation to
the Judge and other officers of the City
Court, Agent Frank Stout of the S. F. G.
c., State detectives, Chief Sasse and the
press and Board OF Police Commissioners.
The sixth annual report of J. w. Ay-
don, superintendent Of the Fire and Po-
lice Telegraph, is attached to the report.
He thinks the city should obtain the
necessary legislation to build subway
for underground wires and derive the
revenue a foreign corporation is now
trying to secure. He thinks it would
pay for itself within few years. He
says the new Gamewell Police system is
Citing entire satisfaction.
Attached also are the reports OF
Matrons Wogan and White, who cared
for 43G persons during the year.
