A COSTLY MISTAKE.
I.egible Figures Cause The Mistake That
Wrecked the Paris.

CHICAGO. June IA special cable
to the Tribune from London says:
THE Paris disaster turns out to be
a simple matter. On leaving Cherbourg.
Captain Watkins entered the departure
in the los. s:25 p. m. using a pencil. The
next entry was passing caskess, 7:s5.
The course steered was almost due west.
in order to make Lizard light 80 as to
90 through the passage between Corn
wall and the Islands the usual practice
is, II the Lizard light Is not made at a
certain time to change fhe course 10 the
south and go clear ot the Islands. On this
occasion this was impossible. as, owing
to the misty night. they could not see
the Eddystone light.
''Th. captain eonsuRed the log when
about opposite Eddystone. He mlstook
the entry and read the time OF leaving
cherbourg as 7:S. the time OF passing
Caskets. instead Of s:35. the real time OF
leaving cherbourg. Consequently the
captain judged himself about II miles
further from the Cornwall coast than he
heally was and delayed changing the
course by one hour, just sufficient to run

Republic Of France Stronger Than Ever
But in Constant Danger Of
Explosion.

NEW YORK, June g1.-The Paris cor.
respondent of the Tribune. discussing
the victory of the government, says:
The constitution of the republic has
had narrow escape. The majority Of
&c is attributed ito the timely interven-
tion Of NJ. Brisson, who succeeded in
stemming the tide, which, after NJ. Mir
mans fierce onslaught seemed about to
sweep the cabinet away The dea,ening
shouts OF ''vive la commune" and "as.
sassin" with which the socialists greeted
the Marquis de Galnfet, are considered
the gravest revolutionary symptoms
which has occurred in the chamber for
many years. The victory won by the
cabinet assures a strong executive gov.
ernmenr until the conclusion of the Drey
fus court martial, but moderate republi-
cans like Ribot declare that the real
danger will come from the socialists who
now. for Hhe first time, participate in
the actual government, who fully rea-
llze their increased power and who never
before have been so exacting. National.
ist reactionists openly confess that it is
through the socialists that they hope to
destroy the republic and eventually to
win the day.
