MORE TROUBLE IN SIGHT.

i.
A third Interpolation, this time aiming
at the minister Of the colonies. M. De-
erals, will come before the chamber on
Monday, when M du Quesnaye and M.
Guilbert, deputies for Martinique, will
raise the question of responsibility for
the recent troubles in that island.
The question of abolition of public exc
cutions Will come before the house, hay-
ing already passed the senate. M. Cas-
tlllard, the reporter, who introduced the.
Dill early in the week, dwelt upon the
raet that the measure would do away
with the scenes and midnight orgies
which now disgrace public executions in
France. I'VE shall hear no more he
said, the mockery attended with obscene
dlttle& at the last walk Of the condemn
ed 1t will put an end to these democrat
lz1ng spectacles."
Dill that will have stupendous conse-
quences' II adopted, was introduced in
parliament this week by ex-Premier Bris-
son. 1t provides for the secularation of
properties of religious CONGREGATIONS and
their conversion into relief fund for
working people. In the preamble NJ Bris
son points out that these CONGREGATIONS
possessed, in 1898, lands and other property
worth 75OO0O,000 francs. It is considered
hardly likely that parliament will adopt
such measure of wholesale confiscation
OF private property.
The publication of Nationalist story
in Paris that a grave situation had arisen
IN Morocco as the result of the French
occupation of the Oasis of Ihubi is off,
cially denied. 1t is pointed out that Nor
rocco protested, but only in a platonic
manner, which has been satisfied
Beers NOT WANTED.
Recent events in South Africa have al
tered the opinions of Frenchmen without
changing their sympathies for the Beers.
An incident of this is contained in recent
letters to the press suggesting that
france should offer the Beers ASYLUM in
Madagascar, offering them land grants.
rms generous proposal, however, did not
evoke enthusiasm for Its merits and the
Matln points out that the Beers number
45O,OOO, and that should they accept such
an offer-they being more numerous. the
paper says, than Frenchmen in NADIA
sascar day would come when they
would become an embarrassment The
Beers would only leave the Transvaal be-
cause they had lost their independence
and they certainly would not recover if In

Considerable interest, not unmixed with
certain amount of amusement, has been
evoked by the report Of the well known
Dr. Labordi on the brain of the child
murderer, Vacher. In submitting a
plaster cast of the brain before the
academy of medicine, he finds that the
frontal convolutions are remarkably well
developed, the brain closely resembling
that of ambetta, from which he concludes
| WAGNER was neglected genius, and might
have been great man from which, fol-
lowing the same theory, that Gambetta,
in Vacher's surroundings, might have be-
come criminal The majority of M.
Labordi's auditors greeted his announce
ment with ironical laughter, but Labordi
is quite sincere.
The six-year grandchild of Prince Won
Hohenlohe, the imperial German chan
cellor, was bitten by a mad dog at Cam
mes this week, and brought to the Pasteur
institute for treatment Strong hopes are
entertained that cure will be effected
as no symptoms of hydrophobia have ap-
peared.
