FAURE'S SUCCESSOR.
1t Is Thought That Senator Loubet Has n
WnIk-OYer.


Paris, Feb l7.-At meeting of the
leftist senators to-day, NJ Loubet pres
ident of the senate and former premier,
was unanimously nominated for presi-
dent of France in succession to the late
Faure. Senators consider Louhet's
election assured
NJ. Dupuy declines to enter the con-
test against NJ. Loubet. In view of the
probable support of the senate and NJ
Melines withdrawal in his favor, it
was thought this afternoon that. NJ.
Loubet's selection is almost assured
M. Emile Loubet, who is about 81 years
of age, was born in the department Of
the Drone and began his political ca
reer in 1876. In 1892 he formed a min
istry, became minister of the interior,
but was overthroWn on account of the
Panama revelations. He was re-elect-
ed president of the senate on Jan. 2
last
Although NJ Loubet, possessing the
almost unanimous support of the SEN
ate, is so strong a favorite for the presi-
dency, it would be rash to predict his
election. There is a large section of
deputies who strongly favor NJ. Meline.
When It the meeting of progressive re-
publican deputies to-day NJ. Meline an
nounced his withdrawal on the ground
that continuance of his candidacy
would divide his party and perhaps
cause it's downfall.
Tonight resolutions were adopted
unanimously in favor of NJ. Melines
candidature and the leaders of the
party in the chamber were directed to
endeavor to arrange an understanding
on the subject with its leaders in the
senate. Apparently, as the result of
this decision, there will be three can
didates-Loubet, Meline and Dupuy-
for the latest represent NJ. Meline as
wavering. He has the support of the
whole right section and of the large
body of protectionists He is an able
debater, a hard worker and a man of
great political influence, and on the
Dreyfus question he is an anti-revis-
ionist. 1t is also reported that the vat
lean has decided to support NJ. Meline's
cantlidature.
NJ. Loubets chances depend largely
upon whether the Dreyfus affair is to
influence the election. If it does he will
probably be defeated, because the anti
revisionists oppose and the revisonists
support him.
The Due d'Orleans, addressing the
royalists at Turin to-day, delivered a
violent speech expressing his hope to
be able to re-establish the monarchy.
The Echo de Paris tomorrow morning
will contain an article by NJ. Quesnay
de Beaurepaire violently attacking NJ.
Loubet and accusing him of equivocal
conduct in the Panama affair.

TOO MUCH SCOTT.
The HoOsier TwirIer Had the MiIIers
at His Mercy All Through.

1t was case of too much Scott and not
enough of Danny Friend. in yesterdays
game between Minneapolis and Indian
apolis at Nicollet park, and the Millers
came within hairs breadth of be ng shut
out. Scott was the obstacle placed in
the locals way, and at no time in the
whole nine innings could the Millers
make any Roadway. The Hoosier twirler
was inVincible TO the whole Miller team,
and the three hits which he allowed were
of no use, with the exception of Carey s
home run drive over the left field fence
in the ninth inning, after two men had
been retired The Hoosiers batted Dan
ny Friend when hits were wanted and
otherwise played the game. Their two
errors were not made at critical moments
and for this reason they did not help
the Millers any. For thee innings
Friend did magnificent work. In the
fourth, however, Friend weakened. Again
in the fifth he pitched excellent ball, also
in the sixth, when he pulled himself out
of dangerous hole, but the remaining
three innings went against him and the
Indians pulled out with a fair lead.
Snapper ball has not been seen on the
local diamond this season. The fielding
of both clubs was marvellous. Abba
ticchio put up an excellent exhibition at
second, and in fact in the right field. A
fly from HogrieVer's bat, half way down
to Carey, hauled down with one hand
by the tall second baseman in the fourth
inning, sent the 5000 fans wild. Smith
covered his ground in a pretty fashion,
but his error on Hartzell's grounder in
the seventh kept him out of the hero
class. Hickey distinguished himself
again by covering much territory around
third base His rapid handling of Carey's
grounder in the fourth, when man was
on first, resulted in a lightning double
play that looked almost impossible.
Ace Stewart was very much in the
game for nine innings, accepting five
chances that were in no wise easy with
out a miss. The score:

GRAND CIRCUIT RACES.

grand circuit meeting at ReadviIle closed
today with splendid victories by The Alb
bot in the free-for-all trot, and Anaconda

jumped into the Head, followed by Tho

to the finish sTheAbbot caught the fore
most horse at the three-quarters pole.
Bingen seemed winded, and Eagle Flana-
gan nearly caught him, while The Alb
bot finished length ahead, going easy.

He has tried it number of times this
