THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, MARCH 25, 1900. THE FRENCH PARLIAMENT DO YOU GET DP WITH A LAME BACK? THETREAT XATIOXALIST ASSAULT OX THE MIN ISTRY RETELLED. MENT The SngKestion I Made to the Gov ernment That It Invite the Boers to Madagascar, PARIS, March 21 The Waldeck-Rous-seau Ministry sustained another assault from Its Nationalist opponents In the Chamber of Deputies this -week, ana came through the ordeal without much difficulty. Indeed, the only result the Na tionalists achieved Is to accentuate the fact that the government has come to stay through the exposition. Their , organs beat the air -with violent and ceaseless strictures upon the government's policy, and will attempt to embroil France in foreign complications, but Parliament seems determined to leave the reins of power in M. Waldeck-Rousseau's hands. The opposition, having failed in a frontal attack, tried a flanking movement Friday and agaia came to grief. They brought forward two Interpellations which were as pistols leveled at the head of M. Mlllerand, the Minister of Commerce and Industry, and both missed fire. The interpellations would have Involved the resignation of M. Mlllerand and a Cabl let crisis, which the opposition hoped would lead to the defeat of the Minis try and to the overthrow of the govern ment, as M. Mlllerand himself described their tactics in defending his action. The first Interpellation, which accused M. Mlllerand of promising a subvention to one of two rival Chambers of Com merce at "Versailles, was withdrawn on M. Iel Casse, the Foreign Minister, re plying that the Cabinet had unanimously decided not to grant the subvention. This declaration showed that no dissen sion existed within the Ministry in regard to the matter. The second Interpellation, regarding the decoration of the dressmaker, Paquin, to whom, it was insinuated, M. Mlllerand is under obligations, resulted in the Cham ber voting to proceed with the order of the day1, which was tantamount to a vote of confidence. These fruitless discussions prevented the Chamber from doing useful work in abol ishing public executions, which subject Is awaiting the attention of the house in the form of a proposal which has already been adopted by the Senate; Some op position is manifested toward It by Depu ties who seem to harbor an Inexplicable fear that executions will partake of a clandestine character. M. Castillard, the reporter, who Introduced the bill early in the week, dwelt upon the fact that the measure would do away with the scenes and midnight orgies which now disgrace public executions in France. The sensational story, published in cer tain papers, that a grave situation has arisen in Morocco as the outcome of the French occupation of the oasis of Insa lah, is denied in official quarters, where It fs declared Morocco protested, but only in a platonic way, in the matter, which Is being arranged without any serious irlction. The absence of startling events in the Transvaal War this week has tended to some diminution in the interest among Frenchmen without changing their sympa thies for the Boers. An indication of this is found' in letters written to the news papers suggesting that, in the event of tha Boers being completely vanquished, France should offer them an asylum in Madagascar, where concessions of land should Be granted to them. This gener. ous proposal, however, did not evoke en thusiasm for its merits; and the Matin points out that the Boers number 450,000, and that, should they accept such an offer they being more numerous, the paper aays, than Frenchmen in Madagascar the day would come when they would be come an embarrassment. The Boers would leave the Transvaal because they had lost their Independence, and they certainly would not recover it in Mada gascar. The relics of Fort Chambrol, where Guerin defied the authorities for so long a time, were sold at auction In the state salesrooms. "Wednesday. They consisted of loaded sticks, swords, horse pistols, revolvers, rifles, and other bric-a-brac, and fetched fancy prices from enthusias tic disciples of Guerin as souvenirs. The rope which served to haul victuals from the adjoining houses brought 70 francs. COUNTRY SETTLING DOWN. Roberts Reports Free Staters Are Selling: Supplies. LONDON. March 24. Lord Roberts tel egraphs to the War Office from Blocm- fonteln, under date of March 23, evening, as follows: "There is no special news to report. The country south of this place is generally settling down. Numbers of arms havo been delivered and 'the people are begin ning to recognize the advantage of bring ing in supplies for sale. The movement of the troops in the Western district is being attended with good results." Lord Roberts' dispatch is generally in terpreted to mean that he hopes speedily to announce some Intelli gence gratifying to the British. The op timists even deduce from a number of minor items of news received that Rob erts has satisfactory news of the advance of a Hying column from the southward by a detour toward Mafeklng. In the meanwhile, Colonel Plumers po sition is arousing anxiety. He has with him. three long trains of supplies for Mafe klng, the loss of -which would be serious, and further Information about Command ant Eloff's movements is awaited with some trepidation, in view of the report from Pretoria that he was isolating Col onel Plumer's forces near Gaberones. Well-informed people in South Africa are, however, more hopeful than the ln habitants of this city. The former are preparing all kinds of celebrations to take place on the announcement of the raising of Mafeking's siege. A sword of honor is in readiness for presentation to Colonel Bad en-To well. A dispatch from Maseru, Basutoland, under yesterday's date, seems to dispose of the story that General French was fight ing yesterday, but it indicates that a bat tle is imminent. From elsewhere come stories of the Boers rallying at various points. Kroon stad is well entrenched, and General Jou bert is preparing to make a determined stand, while the Boers in eastern districts have been asked to rally at Ficksburg, northward of Ladybrand. In the Oralige Free state, doubtless with the view of at tempting to Intercept the Junction of the forces commanded by Roberts and Buller. Another Boer force at Fauresmith, south west of Bloemfontein, Is in a defiant mood, so the southern part of Orange Free State is not yet subdued. Sir Charles Parson, commanding a col umn In the western district, composed o! Canadians and others, has arrived at Van Wlkesll. between which ana Kenhardt a force of Insurgents is reported to be en trenched. Colonel Herchmer. command ing the Canadian Mounted Rifles, is conval escent at Carnarvon and will Tejoln Par son Sunday. Advices received here announce the death, in Mooi Hospital, yesterdav, of General Edward Woodgate, who was wounded In the engagement at Splonkop January 2-i. Today six ships, carrying 3200 men, sailed ,for South Africa to reinforce the army. a O One New Mint Enough. WASHINGTON, March 24. Assistant Secretary Vanderlip, Treasurer Roberts and other Treasury officials were before the House committee on coinage today relative to the several bills proposing the establishment of mints at various points la the West, five in alt Mr. Vanderlip said that one additional mint would suffice for all Government needs. Representatives Cushman and Tongue inquired of Treas urer Roberts as to the probable product of Alaska and the Klondike during the present year, and were informed that it probably would reach $30,000,000, a materia! Increase over last year. a WANTS ONLY BICYCLISTS. Wheelman "Who Demands "Wheelmen Exclusively for the CohhcII. PORTLAND, MaTCh24. (To the Editor.) My quotation from Kipling was correct ed next day on the editorial page, and on looking the passage up I find that it referred to the road leading to the White House road, and not to the streets of the city generally, and. although the partic ular place to which he alluded has since been taken into and is now part of the streets of the city, your point was none the less well taken. It is admitted that bicycles are out of place on the sidewalks, but It must also be admitted on the other side that the portion of the streets given up to horses and street-cars in unit for wheels. Fair minded people will, I think, agree that a vehicle which Is ridden by 10,000 men, women and children in this city Is enti tled to some consideration and some place on the public highways. The answer to my letter objects to my statement that if -all wheelmen will vote for wheelmen exclusively for all city and county offices that the present co'ndltion of things will soon he improved, though it admits that If this be true, all sensi ble men would desire to see wheelmen elected. Judge Northup once said in my presence: "The present form of street was designed to accommodate two classes of travel pedestrians and vehicles drawn by horses. Since they were designed an entirely new class of vehicle has arisen, for which na provision whatever is made, and it Is cleai that some portion of the space should be set aside for their use." His suggestion has already been met in the neighboring cities of Tacoma and Spokane, as well as in many other places, where special wheelways are provided on certain streets. As long as the city and county offices are filled by men who have no particular Interest In the needs of bicyclists, it la safe to say that little or nothing will be done. If wheelmen want Improved cycle ways in the city, they must start the movement themselves. Just as they have with suburban paths. Even those paths on which their money has been spent are robbed of much of their value, as they can only be reached at present by way of the unrideable streets. In view of the ap proaching election, the most effective step they can take to start this movement la by uniting in voting foe wheelmen only fol all city and county offices and especially for the City Council.

It was an nounced at the headquarters of the strik ing machinists today that 12 concerns have granted the demand for a nine-hour day wUh 10 hours' pay. At these shops, 250 men have resumed work.

Soldiers "Were Sent Away at the Re quest of the Sheriff Mob Then Did Its AVorlc RICHMOND, Va., March 21. ThefserJ$s of exciting events in Greenville County the past week culminated today lrAa double lynching at Emporia. Bob CotTon, the negro who, according to his confes sion, killed Sanders and Weller, and O'Grady, the white man wno was with him in the cabin when the murder occurred, were hanged by a mob, variously esti mated at from 1500 to 2000 strong. This morning the Sheriff of the county dis charged from duty the military that had been sent from this city at his request. and Major Cutchlngs, in command of the troops, notified Governor Tyler, stating at the same time that ho thought If the pris oners were left unprotected by the mili tary they would be lynched. The Gover nor replied as follows: "The responsibility, on the Sheriff. If he orders you to withdraw you can do nothing "but obey. Wevhave done every thing possible to uphold the law and pre vent mob violence) and' are still prepared to render every aid necessary." Accordingly, Major Cutchlngs entrained his men and started for Richmond. This was about 11 o'clock. Hardly was the train out of sight when a mob entered the Jail, took Cotton, hanged him to the limb of a tree and fired 40 bullets Into his body. Later, despite the protests of cooler heads, who claimed that the guilt of the white man had not been established, another crowd, composed largely of negroes, en tered tha jail, overcame the resistance of tho iew that tried to protect O'Grady, took him out and hanged him also.

Interesting: Facts Presented to the Eliot Fraternity. At tho regular meeting of the Eliot Fra ternity of the Unitarian Church, held last Tuesday evening, Isaac Swett gave an able exposition of Zionism, a suhject m which tho public Is becoming so much Interested. This is a name applied to a movement looking to the resettlement of the Holy Land by the Jews, and. strange as It may seem, the movement has met with much opposition on the part of many wealthy and also many enlightened Jews. The speaker estimated that there were about 10,000,000 Hebrews in the world to day, at least one-half of whom are forced to live in degradation and misery in be nighted Russia. When asked by a mem ber of the fraternity as to what this op pression, often so vaguely referred to, really meant, Mr. Swett replied that (1) the Jews, no matter how brave or faithful they may be, though forced to enter the army, can never rise beyond the rank of the humblest private; (2) they are allowed to Inhabit only certain cities and districts, from which they may be compelled to re move m a few months' notice at the arbi trary ukase of the Czar; (3) that they are restricted from advancing In the higher professions; A) tfiat when desirous of moving from one part of the country to another or of emigrating to another country they are not allowed to do so j without the permission of the Czar, a permission almost impossible to obtain. A very pertinent question was asked as to how it, was that some well-known Jews have been able to do so much, even In Russia. The reply was that money will accomplish almost anything In the corrupt bureaucratic system by which Russia Is held down. Coming more immediately to the ques tion tf VlnntcTn tVi cnnflVni- -vnlolno ftiot the movement was steadily growing, and . j0y complete civil and religious liberty. i should such a place of refuge be estab lished, there is no doubt but that the wealthy Jews, who, It may be remarked, are usually philanthropic, would aid in sending thither thousands of their op pressed brethren. 4 a AGAINST THE 'CANTEEN. IV. C. ' T. U. Ursed to Petition lor Passngrc of the Bovrcrsoclc Bill. Following Is tho text of the new anti canteen bill presented in the House of Representatives by Representative J. D. Bowersock, of Kansas: "A bill to prevent the selling or dealing In beer, wine or any Intoxicating drinks in any post exchange or canteen or trans port or upon any premises used for mill- ! tor' purposes by the "United States, Be It enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America In Congress assembled: "That the sale of of tho dealing In beer, wine or any Intoxicating drinks as a bev erage by any person, in any post exchange or canteen or transport or upon any prem ises used for military purposes by the United States Is hereby prohibited.
