the Terre Haute & Indianapolis road.
Inspectator Hart spoke to the con
ductors, asking him to secure the Gre
'lentials, but Weik, whose suspicious
were aroused, jumped from the train
while it was moving rapidly in an
effort TO escape and was seriously in
jured. The credentials which he had
.offered to the conductor could not be
found at that time and the only charge
that could be placed against him was
that of im%personating all officer. The
credentials were found by a section
hand in a cattle guard, into which
Weik had thrown them near where he
jumped from the train. The creden-
tails were brought to this city, where
it was discovered they bore the name
Of the present postmaster general and
a charge of forgery was placed against
Weik.
How the passes came to be in Weik's
hands is still something Of a mystery.
Each year new credentials are issued
to the inspectors and the old ones are
sent to Washington for cancellation,
after which they are sent to the in
spectors, who were allowed to keep
them. Weik, it is believed, had four
of the cancelled certificates in his pos
session, secured during the four years
he was inspector. Some sort of a
chemical, it is thought, was used for
removing the old signature and a new
signature was put in its place, and the
government officials say that any acid
that. would remove ink would take off
the mark Of cancellation also.

CONTEMPT FOR ROYALTY.
Chinese General Threatens Lives of
Imperial Family.

London, Nov. 20 - Special dis.
patches from Shanghai describe the
situation at Slang Flu. General Tung
Flu Hsiangs' troops hold the city.
The personal b%odyguard of the en-
peror and empress dowager consists of
only $50 men. General Tung enters
the sacred precincts at will, salutes
the imperials with scant courtesy, and
almost insolence, and declares his in
tention of emulating the notorious
Wang Mang, who during the Han
dynasty, prevented the court from
coming to terms with the enemy and
finally murdered the emperor and
usurped the throne. According to the
same dispatches the only hope for the
court is in General Ma, who has 5, OOO
troops outside of Sian Flu and has a
blood feud with General Tung Flu
Hsing, who murdered General Mas

FRENCH DEMONSTRATIONS BE-
COME SERIOUS.
OPENLY INSULT ENGLAND
Alleged Affront to Kruger Made
Excuse for Venting Hatred
of Johnny Bull.

Dion, France, Nov. 23-Kruger has
become, for the moment at least, the
popular idol of the French. His tri-
umphant progress nortwhard through
the country from Ma:seilles to Dion
has placed this beyond doubt. He
met with a tremendous reception i'll
each town along the route where the
train stopped, eliminating in scenes
of frenzied enthusiasm here this even
ing.
The population of Marseilles gath
cred in thousands this morning to es-
sort him to the railroad station and
gave him a rousing send off, while at
Tarascon, Avignon, Valence, Lyons,
Macol and Dion the inhabitants who
crowded the railroad stations made
the rafters tremble with enthusiastic
shouts of give Kruger and Vive les
Beers" The demonstration was all
the more significant because it shows
the fervid acclamations at Marseilles
were not merely an explosion of ex-
uberance on the part of the warm
hearted and excitable p%opulace of that
sunny cline, but that their senti-
ments are shared with even greater in
tensity by the usually less demonstra-
tive and colder blooded inhabitants of
the northern provinces. The warmth
of the enthusiasm increased instead
of decreasing, as might reasonably
have been expected from the differ
ence in the character of the inhabi-
tants of the provinces through which
Kruger passed. but one Of the most
important phases Of the demonstration
was the turn it took i'll all antfBritish
direction. The few Eglishmen, whose
ill-timed levity at the Hotel du Louvre
i'll Marseilles exasperated the people
in the streets there, never dreamed Of
the serious consequences Of their act.
They sowed the wind and today the
English people are reaping the
whirlwiDd. The news of a supposed
insult to Kruger seems to have spread
aclo ss France and at all stations, but
especially at Lyons and Dion, shouts
for tho Beers were mingled with loud
cries of "Down with the Enlgish.'
Indeed, at Lyons the denunications Of
the English drowned the shouting for
the Beers,

ANTICIPATE NO TROUBLE.
Paris Authorities View Kruger's' Visit
with Equanimity.

Paris, Nov. 23-The peaceable, but
enthusiastic name in which the peo-
pie of Marseilles greeted Kruger yes
terday and the warm welcome extend
ed to him in the cities he passed
through today, all without any anti
British demonstration, of any conse-
quence, have made the authorities
here feel confident that his reception
here tomorrow will not result in any
unpleasant incident.
M. Lepine, project of police, said to-
day: 1--WE lave full confidence in the
, people of Paris and count upon them
not to do anything likely to aus dip
lomatic complications. However, the
police have the strictest order to per-
nit only cries which are compliment
airy to Kruger and the Beers. They
will not tolerate any cries uncompli-
mentary to another government, O w.
ereiegn and friendly country. Any
one uttering uncomplimentary cries
will be arrested"
Kruger will arrive at the Lyons
railway station at 10:40 a. M, where
he will be met by committees repre-
senting the Beers, deputies, senators,
etc. After a short informal reception
he will be escorted by way of the
grand b%oulevards to his hotel, which
is situated Oh a prominent boulevard.
His time OF passing from the depot
will be coincident with lunch hour
and many places will be closed the
rest of the day. There are sure to be
immense o along the entire
route. ~

MAKES NOVEL PROPOSITION
HOW ROSING WOULD DECIDE CON.
TEST IN MINNESOTA.
Proposes Recount in Eight Counties-Upon
Result to Hinge Future Action
r
of Democrats.

st. Paul, Nov. 23-Chairman L. A.
Rosing Of the democratic state COM
mittee has written a letter to Captain
G. G. Whitney, secretary of the repub-
lican state committee, in which he
makes rather a novel proposition in
connection with the talk Of a contest
over the governorship.
Rosing in his letter, after referring
to a statement said to have been made
by Captain Whitney that Van SAINT,
republican governor-elect, had no
desire to take the chair unless all were
perfectly satisfied that he had been
fairly elected, proposes that the demo-
cratic committee select four counties
and the republican committee likewise
select four counties, and that the vote
in those counties be recounted. IF
the recount does not show a net gain
for Lind Of 500 votes, Rosing declares
that all further contest will be aband-
oned. But should Lind make a gain
in the counties indicated, then the
whole state is to be r%ecounted in such
a IN as may be amicably decided
upon and which will insure absolute
fairness to both sides. A reply to the
letter is requested before Monday, No
vember &c.
Captain Whitney in reply to ques-
tions upon the subject said that he
had no authority to accept such a
proposition. but that the matter will
be laid before the executive commit
tee.
A special meeting of the executive
committee of the democratic state
committee will be held in St. Paul
next Tuesday for the purpose Of con-
,sidering the question of a contest, and
it is likely that after the conference a
formal statement of the democratic
position will be made.
On the face of the official returns
Van SAINT has a plurality # $500.

CAGES LEGAL DEFEAT.
Judge Townsend Declares the SEQ
rotary Exceeded His Authority.
IMPORTANT TO ALL IMPORTERS.

Collector Bidwell, Of New York, Was
Forced by the Secretary to Order a
Reappraisement on Lace Imports,
and Importers Appealed to Court.
New York, Jan. 20.-Secretary of the
Treasury Lyman J. Gage met with q
legal defeat yesterday, when Judge
Townsend. of the United States cir
cult court, handed down a decision
sustaining the protests of Loeb &
Schoenfleld, st. Gall lace importers.
This Is q case where the secretary Of
the treasury tried to direct the col
lector Of the port Of New York to order
reappraisment made by Appraiser
Wakeman upon certain laces from
switzerland. During the fight made
BY the importers of these laces Col
leetor Of the Port Bidwell testified that
he was coerced by Secretary of the
Treasury Gage to order the reappraise-
ment
Judge Townsend says in his decision
that Secretary Gage was not empower
ed by law to direct the collector to
appeal from the appraisers valuation
of the laces.
The decision is Of great Importance,
not only to lace, but to all importers.
The case has been pending since
1888, when Loeb & Schoenfield applied
for reappraisement upon certain
laces they had brought over from
Switzerland. Appraiser Wakeman re-
duced the valuation. Collector Bidwell
appealed to the board of three general
appraisers. The importers alleged
that he was compelled to make the
appeal by Secretary Gage. and they
protested. Thus the case came before
Judge Townsend, who has sustained
the importers in their protest against
Secretary Cages action.
In his decision Judge Townsend
says: 90.
ut is unnecessary to discuss all the
presented in the ingeni-
Gus, forcible and exhaustive argument
Of counsel for the government If the
evidence shows that the collector did
not deem the appraisement (meaning
the reappraisement made by Mr..
too low the decisive ques-
lion is whether the secretary had the
authority to direct the collector to
lake the appeal to the board of general
appraisers, irrespective of his (the COL
ector's) opinion.
1.-THE secretary Of the treasury has |
lot been empowered to order reap
,raisement in such cases, but this is
matter to be remedied by legislation.
The protests Of the importers are sus-
aimed"
