SENSATION IN FRANCE
Caused by Resignation of the Gov
GrnOr of Algeria.


Paris, April 1.-THE resignation of
NJ. Revert as governor general of Al
geria, announced to-day, has caused
a sensation in French political circles,
owing to the peculiar circumstances
leading up to it. Coming on the eve
of President Loubets departure for
Algeria, it becomes a veritable coup de
theatre.
M. Reverl's action follows Premier
Combes' recent speech in the Cham
Der of Deputies, denouncing as false
the charges of M. Besson, editor OF
the Petit Dauphinois. that he had been
approached with an offer to secure
authorization for the brothers of the
Grand Chartruse monastery to remain
in France on payment of 100000
Gov. Revert who is a nephew of the
director of the Petit Dauphinois, came
here seeking M. Combes to assure him
that he was not connected with the
charges, but the premier refused to
receive the governor, and the latter
Immediately resigned, on the ground
that he lacked the confidence of his
superiors. After a conference between
President Loubet and M. Combes, NJ.
Reverl's resignation was accepted.
1t was subsequently announced that
there would be no change in the plans
for the Presidents trip to Algeria.
A new governor general will soon be
appointed.

MERRY PARTY WAS
STRICKEN WITH GRIEF.
Little Girl TumbIed Into the Creek
and Was Drowned.

Augusta, April ia party of
boys and girls, eighteen in number and
ranging from eight to eighteen years
old, drove out ten miles into the coun-
try to-day in a two-horse wagon to
Spirit Creek, near Aliens Station, on
the Central Railroad. to have an Eas-
ter egg hunt and fishing party.
About IL o'clock, Marion Killings
worth, a little girl years old went
to the edge of the creek to wash her
hands and tumbled into the water.
The stream was IS feet deep and the
current swift, and a little companion,
of the same age, who was with her,
says she saw Marion's hair come to
the surface of the water once, but she
was never seen again.
The children were panic-stricen and
weeping when two young men from
the city arrived for an afternoons fish
ing. The accident had occurred about
fifteen minutes before their arrival.
They at once undressed and dived a
number of times for the body, but
without success.
The little girl was the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Killingsworth, who
live on Moore avenue. A messenger
was sent to town for the child's father
who went out with an expert diver
and search for the body was continued
until dark and will be resumed to-
morrow.

FURRY IN WHEAT
Followed When Important Holders
Began to Sell.

Chicago, April ia "shape-out" of
the smaller holders of May and July
wheat occurred on the Board of Trade
to-day and as a result of the bull
leaders endeavor to secure a better
control of the situation. the price of
the May delivery dropped cents, while
July declined 21A cents.
The market opened with every indl-
cation that the bull campaign, which
had been in progress in the past few
days, was still in full swing. Shorts
were active buyers from the first tap
of the bell, and with a little buying
by the Armour people, the price of
May quickly advanced to 1850. after
opening from shade lower to 1aQ5sc.
higher at 76Ac. to 1850. July also was
strong, and after opening at 717s 10
72A, sales were made at 723sc.
With the market in such a favorable
condition the bull leader decided TO
get rid of some of his holding and be-
gan to sell both the May and july
options. The change in tactics caught
many traders unawar1s. and there
was rush to sell, which resulted In
a rapid decline, the price going down
by jumps until May had reached 743s
and July 69B.
The amount of wheat sold within
thirty minutes from the time of the
opening by the Armour interests was
conservatively estimated at 5000, 900
bushels, a large part of which was for
July delivery.
Before the end of the first hour the
trading became more quiet, and prices
rallied somewhat, May advancing to
1880 and July to 7015c
The last half of the session was COM
paratively quiet, the leader of the longs
having apparently withdrawn tempo
rarily from the scene of action. Shorts
were active buyers around IS cents,
and, combined with a good commission
house demand, May rallied to 76H, but
eased off again and closed %@% of a
cent lower at 751a. July closed ~
cents lower, at 703s 6D70h.

DENMARK MAY YET CEDE
Its West Indian Possessions to the
United States.

Its west lnulam POsAeHS1OnS TO inc
United States.
Washington, April 11.-Advices re-
ceived here are to the effect that the
royal commission left st. Thomas a
few days ago for Denmark in a pessI-
mistic frame of mind.
After the treaty of cession had been
laid aside, the Danish government, too
placate the residents of the Danish
West Indies and the people at home
who favored cession to the United
States, sent this commission to the
islands to devise means for the i'm
provement of the condition of the Is
landers, by the readjustment of sa1ar-
les, the establishment of direct Tines
of steamships and changes in customs
dues, which it was hoped might re-
concile the islanders to their retention
by Denmark.
1t now appears that the commission
was very much discouraged by what it
saw and heard, so it is entirely possi-
BILE that there will be a strong re-
vival of the cession movement in Dem
mark when they return. Technically
the treaty Of cession ratified by the
United States Senate, is pending before
tn Danish government, and, If there Is
change in public feeling there, it may
be ratified and the cession completed
providing the Rigsdag is-called in
special session before July, when the
time allowed for exchange of ratifica-
lions expires.

FIREMAN TOO QUICK
TO ALLOW A PANIC.
He Promptly Put out a Blaze in
Keith's Theater.

He Promptly Put Out a Blaze in
Keith's Theater.
New York, April 11.-What might
have been a serious accident in
Keith's Fourteenth street theater was
averted tonight by the prompt action
of fireman.
The blowing out of a fuse in the
motor operating a moving picture ma
chine caused sparks to ignite the
celluloid films. The machine box and
the drapery covering it were
set ablaze. Cries of "Firei'
were raised, and a panic in
the crowded theater seemed
imminent, when a fireman, regularly
stationed in the building, ran from be-
hind the scenes through an under
ground passage to the front of the
house. Then he assembled rapidly to
the balcony, and after calling to the
people to keep their seats, turned a
hose on the blazing box and drapery
and extinguished the fire.
The action arrested the attention of
the people, who had begun what SEEM
ed a panic stricken rush to the exits.
When the fireman announced that
danger was past, the performance
was resumed, all but about 200 persons
remaining in or returning to their
seats.

PRACTICE AT SEA GIRT
FOR THE BIG TEAM.

Sea Girt, N. J., April 1.-THE first
practice of the competitors for the in
ternational rifle team was held here
to-day. The weather conditions were
very unfavorable, the light being

lions, the scores made were very credit
able. The Palma match candidates
were strictly adhered to, /. e., Is shots
by each competitor at 800, 900 and 1000
yards; lossible, 225: Lieut.. A. S. Jones
secretary of the N. r. A, made the

A team for England will be selected
by the middle of May. A meeting of
the board appointed by the Secretary
of War to promote rifle shooting
throughout the United States will be
held at the War Department in Wash
ington next Thursday and will con-
slider the question of arranging for this

Dead by Pursuing Officers.
shreveport La, April 11.-Mrs. Aline
Matthews, aged As years, wife of Frank
Matthews, a well-known civil engin-
Ger. was brutally murdered in her bed
early this morning by negro, who,
if is believed, outraged her.
The woman's little daughter, Aline,
aged 10 was fatally wounded.
An axe was the instrument employed
in both cases.
Ed. Porter, a negro strongly sus-
rected of the crime, was shot to
death by two police sergeants, while
ATTEMPTING to escape. He had been
run down at a point about five miles
from Shreveport.
The discovery of the crime was made
at $3.50 o'clock this morning by a
servant who entered the bedroom of
Mrs Matthews. The unfortunate wom-
an. who was almost hacked to
Iieces. had been dead for some time.
Her little daughter was still alive when
the servant entered.
Many Persons in the House.
Entrance was effected through a side
window and although there were fif-
teen persons in the house, which is
situated in the very heart of the resi-
dence portion of Shreveport, no one
heard a single suspicious sound dur
ing the night
The skull of Mrs. Matthews was
crushed, and the indications are that
she had been crimnally assaulted.
The child's skull was fractured, her
chest crushed and shoulder lacerated.
Mrs. Matthews wore a diamond ring
and diamond earrings, which were not
touched by the murderer. Three pock-
ethooks containing money were also
left in the room. An axe, covered
with blood and hair, was found in
the kitchen.
Bloodhounds took up the trail, but
lost it after going a short distance.
Shot a Negro Down.
A Kansas City Southern engineer
notified the police of the appearance
of negro covered with blood on the
tracks of the railroad, and a posse
was organized to hunt him down. The
posse separated, and Sergeants Ger
aid and Roquemore soon came upon
the negro. He made a desperate dash
for ravine, and the officers fired four
Sn0fG fN4vO ~ l. foI, &c
feet in his back, killing him instant
ly.
The negroes clothing was covered
with blood, and his shoes fitted the
bloody footprints in the kitchen of
the Matthews home.
