THE LEADING TOPIC IN FRANCE.
Rouvier, Minister of Finance, Han
Tendered His Resignation.
CAUSED BT A LETTER PUBLISHED.
Xewxpapers Detail The Death of Baron
Kelnach Political Situation
Critical.
New York, Dee. 14. Paris dispatches
quote articles from Le Figaro, and other
papers, on Herz which read like a
fairy tale. Much of it is true and much
no doubt is fancy. Nearly all was con
clusions strained and twisted. Freycinet
intends testify iug to the honesty and
ability of Herz, who has been a friend of
his many years. Senator Girauit has
tabled the bill to give the widest juris
diction to the Panama investigating
committee to collect evidence, and pro
posing u refunding to the company of all
sums illegitimately expended in Paris.
Clemenceau, editor of La Justice, dis
tinctly denied that Herz used the col
umns of La Justice to push his new en
terprise. He admits Baron Keinachand Rouvier
successively visited him on the night be
fore Keinach's death, but he was out
and did not see them. Rouvier had ex
plained to him on the lobby of the
chamber that Reinach was being. driven
mad by the campaign being organized
by the papers against him, and, as it
was for him a question of life or death,
he wished Rouvier would accompany
him to see Herz and induce him to use
his influence to stop the attackB. Ac
cordingly Rouvier with the baron, and
accompanied by Clemenceau, visited
Herz together. Herz declared he could
not render the service required.
. Le Gaulois publishes what purports to
be an account of the last hours of Baron
Reinach. The story confirms in many
particulars what has already been stated
and credited to rumor. The paper says
that after the final interview between
Reinach, Rouvier and Herz, the baron
found all hope of escaping the conse
quence of his connection with the
Panama affair gone. He returned home
at midnight, wrote several letters, de
stroyed a number of documents, and
then swallowed poison. The paper tells
the story with great particulars of de
tail. The general opinion is that Rein
ach was, with Akton. one of the "use
ful" men of the Panama scheme. It is
known he handled large sums for the
company, and the Panama investigating
committee are now trying to learn to
whom the money was paid and for what
services.
The revelation made by Clemenceau
as to the visit paid him by Reinach and
Rouvier, on the eve of Reinach's death,
caused consternation among supporters
of the government. It is said that an
other ministerial crisis is impending,
and that another political upheaval may
be expected at any time. Clemenceau's
letter has greatly compromised Rouvier
in the Panama affair, and the outcome
is hard to predict at present. Rouvier
will be summoned to explain his con
nection with the affair to the investigat
ing committee. Herz will also be sum
moned, hut it is doubtful if he will appear.-
The political situation is ex
tremely critical.
Don't read ! Don't think ! Don't be
lieve! Now, are you better? You women
who think that patent medicines are a
humbug, and Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription the biggest humbug of the
whole (because its best known of all)
does your laek-of-faith cure come?
It is very easy to- "don't" -in this
world. Suspicion always comes more
easily than confidence. But doubt lit
tle faith never made a sick woman
well and the "Favorite Prescription"
has cured thousands of delicate, weak
women,, which makes us think that onr
"Prescription" is better than your
"don't believe." We're both honest.
Let us come together. You try Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. . If it
doesn't do as represented, you' get your
money again. Where proof's so easy,
can you afford to doubt. .

Telegraphic Flashes.
It is announced that President Har
rison's private secretary Elijah Halford
will be appointed as minister resident
and consul-general to Portugal, vice
George S. Matcheller, who resigned on
the 1st of November.
The Pittsbnrg coroner's inquest into
the death of Isaac Jury, who was a non
union employe of the Carnegie company
at Homestead, who was supposed to
have been poisoned by strikers, shows
death was the result of alcoholism.
Four masked train robbers attempted
to hold up a train on the Chesapeake
railway near Huntington, Va., but were
driven off by nervy passengers before se
curing any booty. Some of the robbers
were wounded, but they all escaped in
the darkness.
San Francisco is doing away with
horse cars. During the next year the
syndicate which has been formed to
build the routes, will build 20 miles of
rapid transit lines, 15 miles of this being
electric and five miles cable. Material
for the entire system has been ordered,
and as fast as it arrives it will be put in
place.
Six large well stocked buildings were
destroyed bv fire in Baltimore vesterdav.
Loss $1,650,000. The buildings were
stocked with 17,202 bales of cotton, be
longing to leading cotton firms of Balti
more, and valued at about $850,000, in
cluded in the losses. How the confla
gration started is not yet learned, al
though the origiu is attributed to spon
taneous combustion.
Jay Gould's Starting Point.
East Oregonian. It is a popular be
lief that the late Jav Gould owed the
position he attained in life entirely to
his own talents and exertions, which
transformed him from a penniless boy
into oneof the world's greatest finanoers.
S. P. and W. Hr Gould, of this city, are
distant relatives of the dead millionaire,
and during a conversation concerning
him tlie latter stated that Jay Gould re
ceived a fair start on the road to fortune
by a lucky windfall. W. H. Gould's
father, S. A. Gould, who resides at New
Orleans, received in 1869, a parchment
letter from a firm of attorneys inform
ing him that there were $30,000,000 de
posited in the hank of England awaiting
claims of the oldest heirs of John C.
Gould, of Scotland, who was a wealthy
ship-builder on the Dundee river. Later,
in the same year, Mr. . Gould received
another letter, stating that the money
fell to the family of Jay Gould. Not
long afterwards the king of speculators
Sprang into prominence, and it is
thought owed his sudden rise in the
financial world to the fortune bequeath
ed him. John C. Gould was his great
grandfather. The Gould family of which
the Pendletonians mentioned are a part.
descended from a brother of the Dundee
ship-builder. ' '
Canse for Congratulation.
- Antelope Herald. We congratulate
the many settlers in this interior coun
try upon being able to prove up on their
land at Antelope. Heretofore many a
man with limited means was deterred
from taking up land in this part of the
country, because the immense costs of
proving up stared him in the face like a
full moon. They can now file and prove
up on land at not more than one-third
the former expense.
A Difference of Opinion.
Seattle Telegraph. We think that the
Spjkaiie Review is wrong when it says
that Seattle is set against the opening of
the Columbia river. Everything that
will aid in the development. of the state
can count upon the support of Seattle
even though it is to ie done elsewhere.
All that Seattle asks is something for tin
general benefit of the nation shall not be
opposed merely because it will have to
be done at Seattlel'
Chrysanthemum and Carrots.
Review. Chrysanthemums growing
in the garden of A. W. Lachapelle, snow-
covered but without frost, are a curios
ity of the delightful climate of Lake
Chelan. The leaves are still green and
fresh as in summer on the peach, prune,
apricot and pear trees, and Mr.' Lacha
pelle' has in his garden Belgian carrots,
averaging two feet in length.

Spokane, Dec. 14. Wrecking trains

most complete and miraculous events in,

occurred in the Pacific Northwest. A

event Saturday night and it was only
due to one of those unusual streaks of "
luck that nobody was killed. The train,
made up of twenty cars and a calioose.
left the extreme western extension early
Saturday morning, and after passing the
eleventh siding the same evening ran
into a bunch of cattle, throwing the
front trucks of- the engine from the
track and making almost a complete
wreck of four freight cars. Seven other
cars were ditched, but not severely dam
aged. The engine had taken on a snow plow
at Wenatchee and its bulky form greatly
interfered with the engineers view of the
track. While running along Crab1 creek,
the engineer saw a few ' yards distant a
large herd of cattle crossing the track.
He reversed the engine, but before the -brakes
could be applied 'sufficiently to
slow down the rapidly running train the
snow plow struck a big bull broadside
and knocked two cows off the track.
The first four cars were badly de
molished. One of these were .the cook
car, in which four men were asleep, and
it is the greatest wonder that any of .
them escaped with their lives.. The carw
were piled up in a heap on the track, and

jammed in between them, and one end
stood almost upright with the sides
crushed in.
' The sleeping occupants were thrown
violently to the end of the car, and three
of them were taken out sustaining only
a few barked legs. The fourth roan was

of the crew to persuade him that he had
not been killed. Five others, in all nine
men, were on the train. Four cars were
thrown clear off the track on the north
side and three tumbled down the bank
on the south side. The caboose and.
eight rear cars did not leave the trck-
In for mutton Wanted.
Seattle Telegraph. . May we invite the
papers of Seattle to inform the public as
to what are the prospects of the caual
bill at the present session of congress?.
We mean the Lake Washington canal
bill. . Have they any information for the
citizens on the subject? As the P.-I.
pointed, out some -time ago, the Great
Northern, will soon be finished ' and'
thousands of men will be looking for em
ployment, and they could receive it on
the canal. Is there anything that the
people of Seattle can do to help Senator
Squire with this bill? We think it is
time that- the organs gave the public
some information on the subject.
j Republican Senators in-Caucus.
senators held an hour caucus this inorn
inir relative to the stAtt-H in which there
are doubtful senatorial contests, but
reached no conclusion. The caucus will
be renewed this afternoon.
