CHAPrER xv.--tcon,lnaed.
Really it mattered little to her
whether empire or republic ruled IN
France; her despotic sway could go on
just the same, in Orient or Oecident-
wherever men with enormous bank
accounts and hearts to break could be
found.
She cared more about breaking the
cool disdain Of Mark Merrick and
bringing him to her feet than for the
Orleanist cause.
Merrick did not know what it was
all about
He was soon to learn.
When those men began to close in
like dogs around the quarry at bay,
Merrick discovered. to his intense dis.
gust and chagrin, that he was almost
in the center of the disturbance.
OF course, his only thought was OF
Constance and his fear lest she should
be injured in case of any rioting or
bomb-throwing in the direction of the
heir apparent to the Russian throne.
Have no fear, darling he said,
steadily, perhaps glad Of chance to
address the alarmed girl SO tenderly,
and again thrust his personality be-
tween her shrinking form and danger.
The princess, eagerly watching ev-
cry move. saw that the man they had
believed to be the President made 10
attempt to fy-that he showed no
sign Of fear, but calmly awaited the
coming of the advancing royalists.
There was something so nonchalant
about his manner, SO unlike the DEM
onstrative Frenchman, that the keen
eyed Russian woman had her suspi-
cions aroused.
He acts like a man who has ex-
pected just such thing to occur. Mon
Dieu: 1t may be Waterloo for Count
leon yet Monsieur Jones is going to
be heard from before the curtain falls
upon the last act.
She ended her soliloGuy with cry,
for her gaze had wandered to the 9TH
er quarter just in time to see Merrick
send one man headlong to the ground
because he had dared to lay hand
upon Constance, and then placing the
now thoroughly frightened girl behind
him, face the eager crowd with a
weapon in his hand.

CannOn's Ideas.
Cannon said he would like to see the
treaty between the United States and
Nicaragua for the control of the canal
route, and he believed that it could be made
before the close of this session of Con-
gress- Regarding the question OF control,
he asked how the private titles to the
territory were to be eXtinguished, IL 1t
were not to be done under the appropria-
tion provided in the bill. Those gentle
men who wanted to build a canal between
now and sunrise tomorrow would learn
that the property of private owners could
not be taken without compensation.
II he had his way, continuing, he said
he would postpone the bill thirty days,
and If the treaty was not then concluded.
pass a resolution telling them to hurry.
And then. when the House had found out
where it was at" pass the legislation
with the proper guards. Realizing that
the canal must be built whether it cost
one hundred and ninety millions or three
hundred millions, he would not willfully,
by the failure to use ordinary business
sense and patriotism. make it three hun
dred millions when it need cost only two
hundred millions.
Warns His Friends.
He warned his Republican friends
against the campaign cries OF the minor
ity next summer and fall If revenues de-
rived from existing legislation were not
decreased. He would take off every re
manning war tax. (Applause.) But could
that be done in the face of an indefinite
appropriation, Gods knows how much. If
the contracts were to be made, and they
should be, the President and Secretary Of
the Treasury should be authorized to meet
expenditures from time to time from the
sale of bonds at 2 per cent, at not less
than par.

same opinion as Mr.. Cannon, that the

GENERAL CROZIER NOT TO REPLY

Gen: William Crozier. Chief of the Ord

make no reply to the charge made against
him before the Senate Military Committee
unless called upon to do so by the Secre-
tary of War.
The charge made by the trustees of the
Brown Wire Gun Company brings up a sub
ject much discussed for several years in
both the army and the navy. This ques-
tion involves the right of an army or
navy officer to invent any military ap-
pliance and secure compensation in any
way from the Government for such inven-
ton.
Il will not enter into a discussion of the
right of an officer to own patents on his
own Inventions General Crozier said u

the Government is entitled to some extent

be worth but twenty-Seven millions to

Mr.. Hepburn's concluding speech was
mainly devoted to tearing MIR. Cannon s
arguments TO tatters. He held the I'LL

Regarding Cannon's claim that he was
in favor of canal, Hepburn commended
to him the ancient maxim, ACTIONS speak
louder than words" For seven years he
charged Cannon with opposing legislation
for the construction of the canal. This
opposition had been effective in violation
OF the rules of the House, and in defiance
of-he had almost said decency. but
would leave the monopoly OF that to the
gentleman from Illinois.
Turning to the Democrats, Mr.. Hepburn

There is no doubt that this canal
scheme is the biggest Proposition that
any Senate committee has eve faced. The
committee considers it as su1,. and when
