FRANCE: REVE[5
IN BIG SENSATION.
-. 49, ~ $500
Political Side Of steinheiI Murder
Case Looms Larger and
Larger Every Day.
BACK TO FAURE,s DEATH
Royalist and Anti-Drcyfus Papers
Demanding an Official Inycs
Ggation Into 1t.

Paris Nov 2S.-The Steinhell case
continues to be the sensation of the
hour in all France. No one ventures
to say where the revelations will end.
The political side looms larger and
larger every day and the interest hanks
back always to the tragic death In
Paris III 1899 Of Felix Faure, president
of France. NJ. Faure died in the midst
OF the Dreyfus excitement.
The most minute details of the scene
in the room where he expired in the
company of Nine. Steinheil are today
fiagrantly published by even the Re
publican newspapers. Up to the pres
&ent time this incident in the career of
Madame Steinhel has only been re-
ferred to covertly. The Royalist and
anti-Dreyfus organs are demanding
an official Investigation into the death
of NJ. Faure and intimate openly that
NJ. Faure, as the insuperable obstacle
to the leaders of the Dreyfus agita-
ton, was murdered as the outcome OF "a
plot. They have put forward tie old
allegation that NJ. Faure Intended to
yield to the petitions of the Dreyfusards
and sign an order for the revision of
the case and that consequently he was
poisoned.
The only reason to believe that NJ.
Faure did not die natural death is
found the fact that his body de-
composed with unusual rapidity and to
Offset this there are the statements of
five of the best known physicians of
Paris, who certified that he died of
cerebral hemorrhage.
AN OLD SCANDAL.
The other story, that Nine. steinheil
was present when he passed away,
seems unfortunately to be true, and
great regret is expressed that cirtunn-
STAGES have now compelled the disclos-
ure to the world of this old scandal
which the Faure family and the friends
of the former president thought was
buried With his body.
That letters containing evidence OF
NJ Faure's relations with Nine. Stein
he'll were surrendered after his death
probably is true, but the idea that these
communications contained compron,is-
Ting statements was rejected by all who
were behind the scenes at the time.
With regard to the crimes themselves
Madame Steinhell's husband and her
| mother, Nine. Japy, We're found muir
dered in the Steinheil home in Paris on
May 81 OF this year. and at the same
| time Nine. Steinhei was discovered
bound and gagged--the net is drawing
lcloser and closer around the wife.
A REMARKABLE WOMAN.

WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS
AND POLICE MAY
CLASH IN NEW YORK
Advocates of Equal Franchise Rights
Plan Parade Through Streets OF
Gotham-Say 10000 VIII
Be in Line

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-The New York
police stand a fair chance of having
their first experience with the militant
suffragists tomorrow, when the Wo-
mems Suffrage societies of the city plan
to hold a parade on Fifth avenue, the
line of march being from Union square
to Central park.
Although the law provides that pa
rades shall not b. held without permits
from the police, and shall not be held
at all on Sunday, the suffragists are
planning to go on with their demon
stration in spite of the law or the po-
lice.
Women who are prominent in the
movement state there will be at least
10000 women in tine, although the po-
lice are inclined to doubt that there
will be that many. 1t Is pointed OUT
that IL the women wish to march
quietly I'D the street without music or
banners they may be allowed to pro
ceed, but while no orders have been
issued it is said the police department
will prevent the use of banners ana
bands.
There is some nervousness at ponce
headuuarters, for 1t is feared that the
women may follow the example or tneir
London sisters and refuse to obey the
orders of the police, based on man law
and resist to a point where physlcai
force will be necessary to make them
observe the regulations.

ONLY FOUR BUILDINGS LEFT
IN TOWN BY A TORNADO
BY Associated Press.

MOSSVILLE. Miss. Feb. 15.-Four
whole buildings and two halves Oh
buildings are the only habitable abodes
IN this village today. The remainder
OF the structures were blown down and
many of them swept outside the town
by Yesterdays tornado.
Two old negroes, Alec Windham and
his wife, are dead and Edward Camp
bell, white, is probably fatally injured.
OF the dozen other persons painfully
injured at this place all are rapidly re-
covering.
Reports from other towns in the tor
nado's path give not to exceed five IA
talities.
The buildings left standing here are
two residences, cotton gin and a
schoolhouse. The buildings cut in two
ny the storm are the Gulf & Ship Island
railroad depot and residence. The
station master happened to be in the
balf of the depot which was left stand
ing and was scarcely disturbed when
the other half of his habitation went
down in o heap and then flew away
piecemeal.
The inhabitants of Mossville claim
that their village was scattered over at
least four miles of territory, this state
ment being based on the Identification
of a hatchet picked up by farmer
four miles from here as part of the
stock of the general store of the yil-
lage. The contents of this store were
scattered over at least half mile of
ground in the direction taken by tho
wind
Sturdy oaks were uprooted in the
main streets of the town. The tornado
cut a swath several miles long through
the timber and almost every other OBJ
struction on the face of the country.
Those who have been out in this storm
trail state the loss may reach several
hundred thousand dollars.
The towns of $3.50 and Service were
partly wrecked by the same tornado.
and it is reported that another small
town. Epps, was badly damaged.
Owing to swollen streams. washed
out bridges and fallen wires few def
mite reports have come from these
places. At Service it is known that a
small daughter of Isaac Holloway was
killed, and it is reported that a man
and woman and two children also were
killed.

Upper Ohio Valley Swept by Angry
Waters-Thousands of Men

By Associated Press.
PITTSBURG, Pa, Feb. Is
Spreading ruin and disaster in its
path, the annual flood of the riv-
ers and small streams of this sec
ton hold Pittsburg in its grasp
tonight.
At 10 o'clock the water had
reached a stage of twenty-six
feet and was rising half foot an
hour.
The weather bureau predicted
thirty feet by tomorrow morning.
and possibly a foot higher when
the crest of the flood arrives
Sunday afternoon.
At the head waters the rivers
continue to rise and scores OF
cities and towns in western Penn
sylvania, eastern Ohio and West
Virginia are partially inundated.
In the Pittsburg district alone the
damage, it is expected, will amount to
several million dollars.
The record flood of last year, when
the water reached a stage of 36 IL feet.
caused damage estimated at $10.000,o00.
but sufficient warning was given this
year to save much property.
A conservative estimate places the
number of men thrown out of work
ry the flood here at 10000. This in
crease to the army of unemployed is
expected to result in much suffering.
For weeks charitable organizations
have been soliciting funds for the un-
employed, and today additional appeals
were made for contributions to assist
the flood victims.
Skiffs Used in Streets
A great number of families have been
compelled to move their household
goods to upper stories They go to and
