SOUGHT HIS FATHER
IN NEW YORK CITY
Distressing Tale Told by Youth Who
Said He Lived in BIrlington--He
Is Held by Gerry Society.

New York, Feb. 25.--If it is all just
as Harry Bloom, IA years old, related
it to Justice Wyatt in the ehildren's
court yesterday, there is very trou-
bled little boy in the keeping Of the
Gerry society to-day.
According to the boys story, he has
been in New York since last Monday in
search of his father. who left their
home at 09 Hyde street, Burlington, VT,
three months ago.
1t had got fixed in his mind, the boy
said, that his father must have come to
New York. He had brooded over ways
and means OF getting here. Last Mon
day the chance offered. He did not stop
TO reflect upon the ethics of seizing it,
In his mothers bureau drawer he
found $50, and at favorable moment,
with the money in his pocket, he slipped
away and took a train for this city.
Arrived here he tried to get room in
a hotel But the hotels, he found, were
suspicious of so small boy with so
big a roll of money, and none of them
would take him in, and he had to sleep
out in the cold.
Harry closed his account Of himself
by saying TO the court, as if # gave all
the necessary explanations in one, Il
came to New York to find papa. We
love our father and we want him back"
For few days the boy will remain
with the Gerry society while his mother
is being communicated with and asked
her version of Harry's departure.

RIOT IN PARIS THEATRE
During Presentation of An Objectionable
Drama.

Paris Feb. 25.-There were riotous
scenes at the Coincide Francaisse again
lest night during the production Of
Henry Bernstein's "Apres Moi, rivalling
those which in 1891 forced the with
drawaI after two presentations OF Vie
torien Sardou's "Thermidor."
NJ. Lepine, the project of police, had
hundreds OF police and republican guards
scattered about inside the theatre. In
the first act, where lie Bargy is asked
the question, what is the most II.
reparable thing in life2" a man in the
balcony rose and shouted coarse an
swer.
Instantly the theatre was in an up
roar Cries OF "Put him out" and of
"No, No" were everywhere yelled as the
detectives dragged the offending man
from his seat. This demonstration was
followed by cries Of "Deserter" and
"Down with the Jews" and it was sew
eral minutes before the manifestations
creased and permitted the actors to pro-
ceed with their parts.
A moment later, however, pigeons,
which had been hurled from the gall
lery, caused the women in the audience
TO shrek as they futtered helplessly
in the orchestra, During intermssion
after the first act the "Camelots du Roi"
started a riot in the gallery, and as they
were dragged out several of them We're
struck in the face by adherents Of Bern
stein. After this scores of the speetat
ors, men and women, with threatening
gestures engaged in loud arguments for
and against the play.
The climax of the disorder was reached
in the second act when six men barri-
caded themselves in a box and caused
q suspension of the play for five min
utes by blowing fish horns. Finally the
police battered in the door Of the box
and arrested the disturbefs.
There is a sensational controversy go
ing on in the newspapers concerning
Bernstein, who has written a letter to
the Matin, admitting that he deserted
from the army four months before his
time was up, but declaring that this act
was due to his infatuation for a woman.
Last night Bernstein wrote letter to
Mr. BRAND the premier, asking him to
give the loyalist, Lacour, his liberty tenn
porarily so that the author may fight a
duel with him. Lacour, who is vice
president of the "Camelots du Roi," is
in Jail for assaulting Premier BRAND last
November He sent his seconds to Bern
stein Thursday.

MINISTRY
TOTTERING
French Cabinet is Expected
to Resign Monday
IS SAVAGELY ATTACKED
Vote Of Confidence Called for by Minister
BRAND Is Given by a Small Ma
jority in the Chamber
Of Deputies.

Paris, Feb. 25. il is regarded as GER
tain to-day that the BRAND ministry
will resign on Monday as a consequence
of the attack made upon it in the cham
Der Of deputies last night and Of the
small majority with which the conf
dence of the chamber was subsequently
voted. The radical socialists, Louis
Malvy and Paul Meunier, charged BRAND
with clericalism, alleging that he had
not enforced with sufficient severity the
religious congregations law. When Min
lister BRAND asked for the confidence of
the chamber, it was voted by the small
majority of sixteen.
The debate in the chamber was most
exciting. M. Malvy declared that the
congregation law was dead letter. 1t
forbade religious orders in France with
out authorization. he said, but there
were at least as many monks now as
formerly who were organizing through
out the land powerful Catholic party
TO assure the success of their enter
prises. When prosecutions are institut-
ed, the speaker continued, the courts
usually aequit them, OF more rarely in
hict insignificant fines.
NJ BRAND replied that the congrega-
tons had been deeply rooted in France
for centuries and could not be eradieat
ed in few months. 1t is inevitable
that they would do all in their power
to reconstitute themselves. Nobody, the
premier said, had a right to reproach the
government for blenching before those
difficulties or failing in its duty. II
the majority was unable to give the
government its full aud entire conf
dence, let them seize the occasion to say
SO, for the government could not con-
tinue its task if undermined by petty
intrigues.
