TEMPEST IN THE NORTH. :"
How French Look Upon Attitude OF
United States Toward Mexico.

PARIS. March 16.--The situation in
Mexico was discussed last night by the
Franco American committee, under the
presidency of Prince Roland Bonaparte,
president of the French Geographical So
ciety. The prince recalled the 1nterven-
ton Of Napoleon III in Mexico, which was
based, he said, upon desire to maintain
the equilibrium of America, and expressed
the hope that Mexicans themselves would
assure the balance Of their country In the
present crisis and not succumb to the
tempest in the north.
Count Maurice de Perigny. the explorer,
who has just returned from Central
America, cited the prosperity of the re-
public under President Diaz and Finance
Minister I.imantour, and gave it as his
opinion that the disorders I'm the north
would not engulf the whole country, but
on the contrary would be quelled so soon
as the United States stopped the passage
of contraband across the frontier. Mex
leo he thought. was wholly capable OF
protecting foreign interests, and even IN
the event of the death of Diaz. which
might lie followed by grave events, the
government was determined at all haz-
ards not to permit a justification for in
tervention by the United States.

MORE MONEY NEEDED.
Congress Did Not Appropriate
Enough for Raising the Maine.

In view OF the failure of Congress to
appropriate all Of the money believed by
the army engineers TO be necessary for
making a final disposition of the wreck
of the battleship Maine, the engineers will
proceed with greater elaboration than
heretofore In the wrecking operations.
1t is admitted that there will be enough
money to defray the cost of completing
the big steel Golfer dam which is now
being constructed around the hull OF the
Maine In Havana harbor and of pump
ing out the water. thus exposing the
wreck to inspection. But It Is said that
not much more can be done in the direc-
ton Of removing the old ship unless IT
should be decided to break her up and
lake away the material piecemeal. unless
more funds are provided by Congress.

Jurors Business Suffered.

The lumber merchant says Mr.. Finch
complained that he had suffered in his
business because of the time occupied
with the grand jury.
Mr.. ,erce says Mr.. Finch remarked:
You know, we have the Ptckford
case up and inquired Of Mr.. Pierce II
he had ever served on grand jury.
The respondent says Mr.. Finch stat
ed that The thought the foreman (Mr.
Moses) did not quite like the stand
that he (Finch) was taking in the
Pickford case To this Mr.. PIERCE
states. lie made no reply.
He denies positively that on that or
any other occasion he told Finch he
wanted him to think over carefully the
proceedings before the grand jury
against Pickford before he took any
action or that he felt more deeply in
the Pickford matter than if it was the
case OF his own brother.
Mr. Pierce intimates that Mr.. Finch
may have been influenced In his charge
against Pierce by the fact as sworn to
by the latter that on the day following
the conversation Pierce declined to sell
lumber on the order of Finch and would
only deliver the material when builder
had directed that the sale be charged to
him.
In conclusion Mr.. Pierce states he never
had any conversation in relation to the
Pickford inquiry, and did not know such
proceeding was pending before the grand
jury until Mr.. Finch made the aHeged
remark concerning the matter on which
he was engaged in his duty as grand
juror
