THE LEGISLATURES.

The general assembly yesterday, a:
stated in the Gazette of that day, took
a Christmas recess until December 30,
both branches having adjourned after
very brief session. Neither branch
had quorum. The House had no OPP
portunity to concur in the Senate bill
validating marriages that have taken
place since December II under licenses
Of county court clerks, and the Senate
could not concur in the measure which
passed the House on Tuesday extending
the time of the jamestown Exposition
Company in which to raise the remainder
of the 81, 900, 600 necessary to validate
its charter.
A number of prominent persons have
consulted lawyers concerning the mar
riage licenses solution, and they do not
regard the slip of the lawmakers a
serious error, except from sentimental
standpoint, as, il the legislature did not
promptly rectify the blunder, any court
in the land would confirm such a mar
riage contract. These assurances, how
ever, do not relieve the distress in the
minds of many of the couples
welded, and there is much difference of
opinion on the subject among leading
lawyers.
President Willard, of the Senate
called all the pages to the stand and
handed each sealed envelope which,
when opended in the cloakroom, brought
to view a crisp 10-dollsr bill as Christ
mas present from the president of the
Senate.

PARIS BAKERS STRIKE.

The strikel of men employed in
the various branches of food supply in
Paris began to assume serious proportions
Yesterday. The bakers assembled at the
Labor Exchange and adopted resolutions
favoring a strike throughout the baking
trade, to begin yesterday, declaring in
favor of a general strike in all the
branches of the alimentation trade and
announcing their intention not to resume
work until Parliament suppressed the
municipal employment agencies. The
indications are that considerable num-
Der of butchers, grocers and pastry cooks
will take part in the strike. The city
has taken on "a martial appearance,
Squadrous of mounted troops and police
are stationed on the main squares and in
the principal thoroughfares. The bakers
yesterday afternoon attempted to make
manifestation in front of the Luxembourg
Palace, where theSenate was sitting, but
500 mounted police took possession of
the surrounding streets and the project
of police, NJ. Lopine, personally conduct
ed rigid suppression of the disorder.
Groups of persons above five in number
were prevented from gathering, and a
number of arrests were made. The action
of the police completely broke up the
demonstration. The strikers also gather
ed for another manifestation on the Place
de pOpera, where there we're dense
crowds of holiday shoppers. Mounted
troops and police prevented the demon
stration. The proprietors of the bakeries
say they have no fear of bread famine,
as many bakers are not participating in
the strike movement.

The Dreyfus Case.

Paris, Dec. 24.-Former Captain
Dreyfus in his petition for revision of
bis case, has asked that he be retired by
his fellow officers. This has brought
a new complication in the affair and may
involve new court martial. The court
of cassaton, however, has absolute dis
cretion in the matter and may decide
that a new trial is not necessary.
The committees having under con-
sideration the question as to whether
there shall be revision of the Dreyfus

The REPUBLICANS, who are really
afraid lest Senator German be the demo
cratic nominee for President, knowing
his strength with the people and the
corresponding weakness of Mr.. Roose-
welt, are asking why the Senator is tax
ing the stand he has on the Panama
question and say the defeat of the canal
. treaty, through the fundamentally of the
democratic party in the South would
give the republicans a walkover next
year. They are disingeneous. In their
opposition to President Roosevelt s course
at Panama Senator German and the
democrats of the Senate are not antagO-
nizing the construction of an isthmian
canal The most earnest advocates OF
the waterway, are among these who
most earnestly condemn the course of
the administration. The position taken
by Senator German relates more to the
governmental condition of the United
States than to the irelations with any
foreign power or interest in the con-
structi N of the canal. If no other law
be passed and no treaty with either
Panama or Colombia ratified there
will still be no retardation in the con-
struction of an isthmian canal. The
contention of Senator German aud
other democrats in the Senate is this :
That the President of the United States
has no right to make war upon foreign
power, that being solely within the

CHICAGO, Oct. l2.-Edward J. Nor.
gan and Miss Helen Bertram, two the
atrical stars of many vicissitudes on
separate matrimonial seas, were married
at Windsor, Can, just across from De.
troit, week ago, but the marriage
was kept secret until today, and even
last night both Mr.. Morgan and his
bride denied it.
Since Mr.. Morgan's Chicago engage
ment began at the Illinois he and his
bride have occupied adjoining suits at
the Stratford hotel.
1t was here that Mr.. Morgan, while
impersonating the sanity John Storm
in "The Christian" was sued for di-
vorce by Mrs. Adelaide C,ishman- Nor
gan. A decree was granted in June,
1901, by Judge Chetlain.
The present Mrs. Morgan's expert
ence of greatest public interest in Chi
cago was when she appeared against
George D'Essauer and told of the $780,
900 in worthless bonds which he had
devotedly laid at her feet after de-
sorting his wife in Chicago and follow
ing the then Helen Bertram to Europe.
