A NEW MINISTRY
In France to Come out of Trial Of
Royalists-

New York, Sept. ia dispatch to
the Times from Paris says:
The high court proceedings against
the royalist cOnspirators for attempting
to change the form of government have
been commenced in the senate and they
are almost certain to end in fiasco for
the government. No serious charge is
alleged against the accused.
The Parisians are not in the least
excited in fact, are not even interested
in the proceedings.
It is believed that the ministry Will
fall if the prosecution collapses- The
outlook is very uncertain and the Radi-
Gals are preparing to leave what IS
feared will prove a sinking ship
Conjecture is already rife as to the
composition of the next cabinet. De
Freycinet who continues to maintain
an attitude of studious reserve, is look
ed upon as the likely maker of the next
ministry. The presidential crisis, for
the first time since Loubet's election.
has become q contingency which must
be taken into account.

AFTER RERDER's PLACE.
n F. Giessler Would Like to Succeed
Him In Congress.

H. F. Giessler of Oakley, who for
two terms has represented Logan coun-
ty in the house of representatives is
said to have decided to become can
didate for senator in the Thirty-ninth
district.
Should he succeed in being elected to
this position his next effort will be as
a candidate for congress in the Sixth
district to succeed W. A. Reeder, at the
expiration of the latter's second term.
Giessler believes, like many of his
fellows. that Governor Stanley sighted
the Sixth district in the distribution of
patronage, but says;
If we pull together like the Repub-
licans of the other districts, particular
~ the Seventh, we will get what we
want" He suggests that Governor
Stanley is not to blame.

BALLOON AGAIN.
Will Once Moro Try Issues With W.
I. Stuart.

The fusion convention representing
Doniphan, Nemaha and Brown counties,
nominated Judge James Falcon for
judge in the district now presided over
by w. I. Stuart. There were fifteen
delegates in the convention, two from
Doniphan and two from Nemaha. eleven
being from Brown county. The conVen-
ton was held at Hiawatha. The dele
gates present held proxies from those
absent.
The convention promised to nominate
Falcon if he would pay the expenses
of the legal contest. 1t is not expected
that the secretary of state will place
Falcons name on the ticket. A man
damus suit viii be brought to compel
him to do so and the case will be car
ried to the supreme court.
The Friends of Falcon proceed on the
decision of the senate that there is a
vacancy in that judicial district, no
Stuart contends the contrary and is
holding the Office.

STOPPED A FIGHT.
Convict Is Rewarded by His
Liberty.

The policy of rewarding the good
deeds of convicts in the state peniten-
tiary has been adopted by the present
state administration and to this new
arran gement Everett Proctor of Shaw
nee county owes the liberty which will
be restored to him tomorrow at noon by
Warden J. B. TOmlinsOn.
There was a dangerous fight between
a white man and a negro in the coal
shaft some weeks ago and Proctor in
terfered in time to save the cOmbatants
injury.
The action of the convict was re-
ported to the governor, who decided to
pardon the man who preserved the
peace of the penitentiary coal mines.
Proctor had only a short time to
serve, having been convicted of jail
breaking in Shawnee county and was
taken to the prison last November.

BANKS MOVE.
Four New York Concerns to
Increase Their Circulation.

Washington, Sept. 19-The comptrol-
Ter of the currency today received ap-
plications for increase of circulation
from four New York banks, amounting
to about $1,000, OOO Yesterday the
amount was about $3.50, 600. This ac-
ton on the part of the city banks is
not at all unusual at this season of the
year and so far as known as the treas
ury department there is no concerted
movement on the part of the banks to
increase their circulation by any very
large amount as has been rumored.

New York Sept. ia special to the
Herald from Washington says:
According to official advices received
at the war department today General
Otis has been disappointed in carrying
out several military movements con-
tempIated at this time by reason of the
continued rains. He fears now that the
American troops will be able to do lit
tie, if anything, in the way of agrees
SiVe action before November L. The
authorities had hoped to get news of
several important engagements, plans
of which they have known for some
that the delay will be beneficial. By
November General Otis will have TO-
900 more men and will therefore be able
to put larger army into the field and
begin a much more aggressive cam
paign than is possible at present.

all over the country has absorbed the

as much of a decline as was justified
by the facts and that the best possible
features in the situation should come
to the front. His opinion that the
worst has been seen in the money rates,

that the local police endeavor to locate
her in this city. Chief Devery is of

positively.
Inspector O'Day has done nothing

Profit taking may explain this, at
least in part, for with the annual meet
ing yesterday the temptation to realize
profits must have been great to many
after the advance of over $40 per share
in the last six weeks. No end of gossip
continues to pour in from La Sale
street in Chicago and from Wall street
in New York on the possibilities of
Pullman Wagner combination, of a
Pullman extra dividend, or both. Here
is a sample of it from the Chicago Rec
ord Wednesday,
1t is known positively that the Pull
man company has been putting its real
estate holdings in shape to sell, and
there is high authority for the asser-
ton that deal involving the entire
tract, excepting only that actually oc-
cupied by the car plant, is on foot. 1t
is denied by the officers of the Pullman
and Wagner companies that any con-
solidation is contemplated, and at the
same time persons who stand very
close to the inside admit that such an
eventuality would not be surprising. ].
w. Doane is in the city for the meeting
of the directors today. He is credited
with having had active charge of nego-
tiations which will be made known TO
the stockholders at the meeting. There
is valid reason to believe that the real
estate deal referred to is being carried
on with interests analogous to those of
the Pullman company, and this prompts
the superstition that the buyer may be
the Wagner company That the Pull
man company would resort to extreme
measures to avoid parting with the
principal part of the famous town is
readily believed by those who under
stand the sacredness of traditions in
the affairs of the company. The Wag-
ner company is incorporated under the
laws of another state, and transfer to
it of the real estate which the Pullman
company under the supreme court de-
cision, may not hold might afford a So
luton of the difficulty Since the Van
derbilt interests have various ambitious
designs on the New England territory,
in attaining which an alliance with the
Pullman company might help them,
there is nothing essentially unreasona-
BILE in the superstition that today and
tomorrow win reveal a plan for the
merging of the great palace car COM
panies, with the preservation of the
Pullman real estate undivided and nom
competitive control of the palace car
service of the country.
