NOT A PLOT.


PARIS, Aug. 15.-The semi-oficial an
meeting that the royalists are directing the
agitation against the closing of religious
schools in Brittany, has evoked consider
able comment. Catholic leaders and the
Catholic press deny that the movement is
anti epublican. Count Albert De Nun,
who, with Able Gayraud, is the guiding
spirit of the resistance in Finisterre, de-
clares that the movement is entirely spon-
taneous on the part of the people and that
not an act nor a shout has occurred in
Brittany TO justify the allegation that a
royalist conspiracy exists. Count Albert
De Nun says the "Marseillaise' has been
sung everywhere, and tina il is evident
the government is embarrassed by the sit
uation and has invented the royalist scare
in order TO create a diversion. Francis
Cope, in an interview, expressed a similar
opinion in picturesque language.
Admiral De Cuverville. Able Giraud. who
is a member of the Chamber of Deputies,
protest to the premier, NJ. Combes, on &C
count Of the allegations of royalism. say
ing: I'VE protest against the attempt TO
STATIONS of an indignant public conscience.
While applauding the legitimate protests
of the populace, who are grateful to the
sisters, we shall continue to strive TO pre-
vent acts of violence. Long live the Liberal
Republic"
AT the inauguration Of a monument to-
day at NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. in com
memoration of an incident of the Franco
Prussion war, General Andre the minister
of war, made an address. He referred in
directly TO the refusal OF Colonial Saint
Kenny 10 assist at the closing of the I'M
authorized schools on the ground that he
was a Christian. and declared that a SOL
der ought to be ready to sacrifice even his
personal convictions at the m of
his country. Belfort resisted a siege by
the Prussiars from November. 1870. to Feb.
l6, 1871, when, by order of the government,
the garrison of 1900 men capitulated with
the honorS of war.

accompanied by her son. A. c.. Nelson, a
half brother of the late Mrs. Fair, will leave
their home at Newmarket. n. j., on Sun
day for San Francisco, where they will en-
ploy lawyers to represent them III the dis
tribution of the Fair estate. The paper adds
that the trip is made at the instigation of
George Harvey, of San Francisco, who
had telegraphed Mrs. Nelson to come I'M
mediately. The paper also quotes Edward
S. Letter, a real-estate dealer of this city,
as saying that he and his family would take
steps to protect their interest as heirs. Mr..
LETTERS mother was a sister of Mrs. Charles
Fair. Among Mrs. Fairs heirs, besides kec
mother. others who live in the East are
said to be Mrs. Elizabeth Bonnell, of Union,
n. j.; Mrs. Laura Leonard, of Caldwell,

and a number Of members of the Letter
family
BOULDER, Col, Aug. &c. j.. Smith, a

on receipt of a telegram from a nephew
connected with a New York law firm adj
vising him to see an attorney. The question
of who died first in the automobile acct
dent is a matter which will engage the
earliest attention of the Smith and Nelson
families.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15.-There being
some division of opinion among the friends
and relatives of Charles Fair as to whether
the will of Fair now in the hands Of Knight
& Haggerty, his attorneys, was the last
made by him, Judge Carroll Cook to-day
issued an order granting the attorneys per-
mission to search the several safe deposit
boxes used by Fair, so that If there is a
will Of more recent date 1t will be brought
to light. Hermann Oelrichs, brother-in-law
Of the deceased millionaire, is emphatic in
his assertion that Charles Fair made a will
very shortly before leaving this city for
Europe.

He Saw, but Sheds Little Light on
the Murder Mystery.
OSCAR THOMPSON ALSO TALKS
ADMITS THE TRUTH OF THE STORY
TOLD BY MRS T~ALLERDAY,
But Says He Does Not Know What
Took Place on the Night of Miss
MitcheITs Murder.

CHICAGO. Aug. progress was
made by the police to-day in solving the
mysteries of the Bartholin case. Inspector
Hunt was convinced that he would obtain
important information from John CIany,
who was positively identified by Mrs. Tai
lerday as one OF the men she saw with the
laundry wagon on the morning following
the night of the disappearance OF Minnie
Mitchell. Claffy has been accustomed TO
a supply or liquor. and the Inspector was of
opinion that he would weaken after he had
been deprived of his allowance for a few
days. Late this afternoon he concluded
that Clafy should be about ready 10 tell
what he knew and had him called into the
Office. The result was a failure. CIafry
not only refused TO admit that he was one
OF the men seen by Mrs. TalIerday, but de-
clared with great positiveness that he was
not there at all. When asked how he ex-
planned Mrs. Tallerday's identification Of
him he replied that IL was not for him to
explain. She had simply made a mistake,
and that was her affair and not his. He
insisted that he was at home In bed at the
him with the laundry wagon, and denied
any connection with the case. The police
could make nothing whatever out of him
and he was locked up again.
Inspector Hunt said after the interview:
II thought that we would get the story
from Clany, but we did not get a single
thing He denied everything and stuck to
his denials- l asked him where ne was that
right. and he said he was at home in bed.

Want TO Come to Thi. Country.

ROME, Aug. 15.-Members Of the religious
orders expelled from France, especially
sisters are applying to the Vatican authori-
ties for permission 10 settle in the United
States. Several of them have come to

their requests. A reply has been sent to
them pointing out that there are no vacan-
cies in the United States, and, besides call
ing attention 10 the difficulty arising from
the fact that the expelled sisters do not
speak the English language. Canada has
been suggested as a better field, as sisters
are comparatively scarce there, and be-
cause French is spoken in a large area OF
the Dominion. The applicants, however, did
not take kindly 10 the suggestion and per-
sist in their requests to go 10 the United
