Paris, Dec. 14.-Empress Eugene,
the one time idol of the Tarisian popu-
lace, has announced her intention of
spending the last days OF her life in
the city which she so proudly ruled.
At the present time her return is little
noted, SO fickle is fame. In fact, her
former admirers care little whether
she returns or not.
Following the fall Of Napoleon, EN-
press Eugerie was exiIed from France
and took refuge in England where
she found a friend in Queen Victoria.
1t will be remembered she was assist
ed in this escape by an American dem
tist, DR.. Evans, which circumstance
for time threatened to cause a
breach between France and America.
Ehe empress is at present in an ex-
tremely nervous state and physically
ILL., She is quoted as saying:
MY destiny is ruined, but wish to
rise above the events of such destiny.
shall return to Paris, whose incense
burnt before me. shall look upon
this people that has Gisowned me.
shall live until the end upon my i'm
pressions and my recollections." 1t
is also recorded that she said once,
when asked to grant an audience,
Yes, I know, they come to see me as
they would go to see the NTH act Of

Washington, d. c. Dec. 14-Presi-
dent Roosevelt today sent a. special
message to congress on the Browns
vile affair and with it the report of
Iz2rbert J. Browne. employed by the
war department in conjunction with
Capt. w. G. Baldwin to investigate the
shooting up of Brownsville by the ne.
gro soldiers. The president says in
part;
This report enables to fix with toll
cradle definiteness at least some of
the criminals who took the lead in
the murder Gus shooting of private citi-
zens at Brownsville, 1t establishes
clearly the fast that the colored sol
diers did the shooting, but upon this
point further ree&rd- was unnecessary,
the fact that Ahe colored Soldiers
dill shooting has already been estab-
'lished beyond all possibility Of a doubt.
To continns Investigation.
The investigation has not gone far
enough to enable us to determine all
the facts and we Will proceed with it
but it has gone far enough to de-.
ternine with sufficient accuracy GER
tain fact of enough. Importance. to-
make 1t unadvisable that / place the
report before you.
IL appears that almost all the mem
bers. OF Company B must have been
actually concerned in the shooting
either to the extent of being partisi-
pants or to the extent of virtually enl
couraging those who were participants.
As to companies G and ID there can
be no question that personally every
man of them must have had some
knowledge that the shooting was done
by some of the soldiers of B troop and
poasibsS by one or two others in one
of the othcT troops"
Extenuatine Circumstances.
The president says that while this
concealment was a grave offense they
were probably cowed by threats By
more desperate men and there were
extenuating circumstances and that
they have been sucintly punished and
he recommends that these men be re-
instated by the war department with
in a year or SO as congress may di-
rect.
