A Youthful Firebug.

\ serious loss by fire was avrrttd last
evening by Mrs. Joseph Lavery of Smith
street About six o'clock She noticed IA
small boy starting several fires in and
about Burke Brothers stone shed.
She called to Il man near by and h.
succeeded in subduing the flames with
few pals of water. The small boy lit
out for home but was met by his father
and very interesting interview follow
ed, The boy will not set any more
fires.
Examination this morning showed
that paper had been set on fire in sever
al different places about the shed, and
a small box next the side of the shed
had been filled with bits of stick, char
coal, ETC., and set on fire. One paper
fire was set on Il partly cut stone.
When some of Mcmillan ~ Stephens
men went to get their working plans
this morning they were missing. In
vestigaton revealed pile of burnt
paper behind Il stone and next the par
lilion between the shed and polishing
mill which was scorchcd somcW hat.
An oil can that had been left full the
night before was nearly empty, and oil
was found spilled in different places,
On account of the extreme youth of
the iirebug no legal steps will be taken.
hut his parents will be admonished TO
keep an eye on him in the future. If
he fires in Burke Brothers shed had
not been seen then both firms would
have suffered loss of several

FRENCH CABINET OUT.
orcmicr Dupuy and HIS MssssssVS
Hand In Their ResignatiOns.

Paris. June l3.--The following sums
up accurately the latest MANIFESTO
tons: Both at the Grand Prtx races
and in the city the Partisan public re-
NAMED absolutely indifferent. except
for it's curiosity at the impressive mill
tary precautions.
At the race course the crowd and the
betting were notably less than usual
and finely dressed ladies Ia the expsn'
sive places were conspicuous BY their
absence. Among the masses OF the
populace in the field there were rev
acclamations, but on the other nano'
there was no pronounced hostility. The
Socialist deputies, with bands OF young
men, had the completest ORGANIZATION
wearing red clover leaves. and snoutine
together "Vive la republique! and
"Vive la sociale!" -, =,
At the Pavilion d'Armenonvilie u
the Bots de Boulogne, free hght was
begun at the drinking tables among
some of its rich clients in consequence
Of a gentleman with a lady insulting the
president A Socialist band was pass
Ing by and naturally took part In the
disturbance. The carriage OF the or
Tending gentleman was stopped, MS nat
was crushed and the lady's dress was
torn, but finally they were allowed 10
depart.
Roports that anarchists bad any con
npction with this affair are false. Inc
demonstrations at night were withou'
significance. The sympathies OF the gen
eral public are with the repression OF dis
order. but the impression is that the pre-
cautions taken were extreme. Partisan
accounts on both sides eXaggerate what
actually happened.
The project of police, NJ. Blanc. has or
dercd an inquiry into the charges OF po-
lice brutality. If they are substantiated'
the men at fault will be severely pun
| ished.
The chamber of deputies was crowded.
and there was considerable suppressed
| excitement when NJ Valiant, Socialist
representing one of the divisions OF tne
Seine. interpcllated the government on
the police outrages" at the Pavilion
d'Armenonville and demanded to know
the instructions the government gave the
police in regard to the socialist, who, ne
said defended the republic against the
reactionaries applause.
The premier NJ. Dupuy, replied. say
ing he realized the day was fete DAY
for all Republicans. He added there hac
been few incidents and that the only In
structions to the police were to maintain
order. The government. he continued
had ordered an inquiry into the RESPONSE
bility for the affairs at the Pavilion d
Armenonvlle and the Rue Monmartre.
Premier Dupuy, 1t is announced, hal
placed his resignation in the hands Of
the president.
Later the whole cabinet resigned.
