V - EXCITING SCENES OVER THE DREYFUS CASE IN THE FRENCH CHAMBER. The Premier' Refusal to Make Satisfac tory Keply to an Interpellation Calling for Dreyfus' Confession Causes a Riot A Free Fight Edidci In the Chamber Such Words aa "Lie," ''Scoundrel" and "Cow ard" Bandied About froops Stationed in the Hall. Paris, January 22. The chamber of 'deputies was thronged today and there was great excitement when ex-Minister j Cavaignac repeated the interpellation . of the government on the subject of Dreyfus, of which he had previously nntifipfl ihe mlnfntrv TTo nffirmorl tho , . A , A , I existence of the report of Captain Lebrun-Ronaud, containing the con fession of Dreyfus, whose guilt, he added, was thus established and blamed the government's silence, which, the speaker claimed, permitted criticism of an affair legally decided. He asked the government to furnish a clear explanation of the situation. The premier, M. Meline, in reply said he could not communicate the contents of Captain Lebrun-Renaud's report. The government did not think it right to publish it, because the min isters thought a parliamentary discus sion would affect the judicial charac ter of the whole affair, and once the discussion was opened, it could not be closed. He said that the present cam , paign in regard to Dreyfus was de plorable. A great writer had used his pen to dishonor the army. (Prolonged applause and violent protests.) M. Meline blamed the newspapers for supporting Dreyfus and declared the government had only done its duty in prosecuting Emile Zola. At this point the president of the chamber, Mr. Brisson, intervened and abjured the deputies to calmness and to set an example at the critical mo ment when the streets were crowded with disorderly bands. Regarding the street disturbances the premier said the government would know how to speedily quell them and re-establish order. M. Cavaignac replied that the moral result sought had been attained, ad ding that he desired to with'draw his interpellation. This caused great ex citement in the house and Mr. Jaures, the socialist leader, re-introduced Mr. Cavaignac's interpellation of the gov ernment. Continuing, Mr. Jaures characterized as "lies" the "incom plete charges" filed in the prosecution of Zola. M. Debornis, conservative, accused Mr. Jaures of being the spokesman of the "Dreyfus syndicate," to which M. Jaures replied: "You are a scoundrel and a coward!" Mr. Debornis thereupon made a rush toward the tribune, but he was seized by several socialists and a se ries of fights ensued, during which M. Debronis fought his way to the tri bune and struck M. Jaures. The conservatives and socialists charged the platform and the melee became general, with fighting and shouting on all sides. The president of the chamber, M. Brisson, being powerless to restore order, left the chair, saying: "I am going to. consult the procurator gen eral." A few minutes later the order was given to clear the tribune, amidst the greatest excitement among the depu ties and journalists, who were threat ening -and jostling each other, and al most coming to blows. It was asserted that M. Debornis had accused M. Juares of being paid by the "Dreyfus syndicate." After the attack made upon him, M. Jaures was the object of an ovation upon the part of the socialist deputies. When the order was given to clear the tribune, the reporters were invited to retire but before so doing several of them made a demonstration in favor of M. Jaures, snouting "Bravo!" "Vive Jaures!" The newspaper men and the public, pouring into the lobbies. of the house, found them occupied by armed troops, that had been summoned when the disturbance began in the chamber. On learning this, many of the deputies protested, and the soldiers were with drawn. The spectators who had in the meanwhile assembled in excited groups outside the Palais Bourbon otherwise the chamber of deputies) "were calmed by the announcement of the decision. A Preacher Charged Wife Forgery Richmond, Va., January 22. Rev. . Leslie Cook, who has been confined in . Roanoke city jail, under an indictment for fcrrgery, sawed out last night and made good his escape. The special case in which he was indicted involved a check purporting to have been sign ed by T. W.

Jookis wanted in other places on similar charges. St. Johns Resignation Denied Norfolk, Va., January 22. Vice President St. John's private secretary denies positively the report that Mr. St. John will resign his position with the Seaboard Air Line to accept the management of the Union Pacific. AFFAIRS IN THE FAR EAST Japan the Firebrand That Slay Cause IV ar. The Statns at Present "ot so Bellicose, England the Master of the Situation (Copyrighted by the Associated Press.) London, January 22. While events are moving with somewhat dramatic rapidity in the far east and complica tions may any day develop a situation frought with momentous dangers, when the known facts and the position of affairs are analyzed there is really i not much reason at the present mo j ment to suppose the solution of the I crisis will be found in a resort to war. ; There is reason to believe that diplo malic circles do not fear that it will be necessary to appeal to arms, unless (and this is the dangerous feature of T . I me ouuauun; j ayau. ui cutis liuui uer mentors. So far as the European powers are concerned, the diplomats, throughout, are satisfied that the Chi nese question will not break the peace of the world; but they have always feared that Japan will prove a fire brand. Unless she can be restrained from impetuous action, the departure of her fleet from Yokohama today for Chinese waters may prove to be the striking of the match which may lead to a dreaded conflagration. Leaving out the possibility of war, the diplomatic game is most interest ing. The marquis of Salisbury is slow in playing his trumps, but unless Russia and France have something up their sleeves, it would appear that he has a decided advantage, for the Brit ish premier has forced Russia to show her hand. She no longer conceals the fact that she regards the whole of Manchuria and thf "Man-Tun p- nor in- sula as being her exclusive prey; but oy insisting mat Ta-Lien-Wan, (northeast coast of Port Arthur) !3 made a treaty port, the marquis of Sal isbury has countered the Muscovite's design on Port Arthur, for the latter is of little strategic value without Ta-Lien-Wan. France of course, resents the pro posal to open Nan-Ning, which would clash with her exclusive interests in Tonquin, while both Russia and France are deeply concerned in Great Britain's claim to extend the Burmese railroad into the Chinese province of Lun-Nan, France has secured privi leges in Yun-Nan which would be se riously discommoded by the British railroad diverting to the north the commerte of such a rich province, while a railroad from Rangoon to Shanghai, (which would be the natur al outcome of Great Britain's de mands), would be a disastrous com petitor of the great Trans-Asiatic line (from Samarcand to Port Arthur), which Russia is so laboriously con structing. As the Associated Press has indica ted throughout, there seems to be an understanding between Germany and Great Britain; but, Germany at uie time has so skillfully played her cards, alternately caressing St. Peters burg and London, that the . relations between both capitals are better than for a Ions time past. The firm, confi dent tone of the British ministerial utterances, emphasizes that Great Britain does not intend to recede from the main points of the position she has taken up and the cabinet ministers are merely voicing the determination of the country, which recognizes that if Great Britain gives way now, she will only have to fight the battle in the future, when the completion of the Siberian railroad will render it more difficult to count upon a bloodless triumph. While, therefore the present situation is admittedly pregnant with possibilities, it need not be assumed that peace is endangered and war will follow if Great Britain maintains the ground she has taken up. Verbal bluster and naval displays are only the usual accompaniments of great diplo matic struggles and are intended to test the enemy's nerve. In the mean while it may be observed that, while Great Britain is unlikely to budge from the broad principle, which the chancellor of the exchequer, Sir Michael-Hicks-Beach enunciated, there are glimpses of the fact that the negotia tions at Pekin should not be accepted as necessarily final. As usual, there is very explanation of the sudden rush of British troops to Egypt except the right one. What really seems to have happened is that Colonel Parsons, while en route to take over Kassala, from the Italians, found King Menelik of Abyssinia in the greatest state of wrath at the sur render of the town (which his majesty regarded as part of his domain) to the Egyptians, and he was mobilizing an army with the intention of asserting his authority. It Is rumored that Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria will shortly an nounce the betrothal of the Arch duches Elizabeth, daughter of the late Crown Prince Rudolf, to the king of Spain.

HITT'S "WORDS AGAINST THE SPEAKER To Show there vat an agreement to Tote on Motion to Kecommlt ttie Diplomatic Bill He 8ajs there was A Misunder standing; or a Misstatement Inquiry aa to Execution t-f Colonel Bulz The Caban Question Still Under Debate The Teller Resolution. SENATE. Washington, January 22. Two amendments were offered in the sen ate today to the Teller resolution, one by Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, de claring it to be the duty of the govern ment under existing laws to maintain the parity in value of its gold and sil ver money, and the other by Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, substituting for the Teller resolution a declaration that it is the financial policy of the United States to maintain the existing gold standard until an international agreement with the leading commer cial nations of the world for the free coinage of silver shall be reached. There was no 'debate upon either amendment.both being proposed after Senator Stewart, of Nevada, had ad dressed the senate for an hour and a half on the resolution. The senate devoted an hour to the consideration of bills on the calendar and shortly after 3 o'clock went into executive session. At 5 o'clock p. m., the, senate adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The sensational episode at the close of the Cuban debate on Thursday, when Speaker Reed, and Mr. Bailey, the democratic leader, in parliamen tary language questioned each other's veracity, the one charging and the other resenting the imputation cf bad faith, had its sequal in the house to day. On a question of personal privilege Mr. Bailey secured the floor. He said he would not revive the controversy for the purpose of sustaining nimself or showing that his adversary was wrong as explanations in such cases did but little good, usually leaving the partisans of each only the more firmly convinced of the correctness of the position of his side. But, said he, an examination of the record showed that there was an agreement that there should be a yea and nay vote on the motion to recommit, so explicit and distinct that he felt it his duty to call it to the attention of the country. He quoted Mr. Hitt's last remark: 'And it is understood, Mr. Chairman, that at 4 o'clock tomorrow there shall be but one-yea and nay vote, that on a mo tion to recommit." (The democrats broke forth in applause.) "That was precisely my statement," continued Mr. Bailey. 'I do not desire to impute moti'ves other than honor able ones to any one, for I am slow to charge falsehood or unfair dealing, but I do affirm that there has been either a misunderstanding or a misstate ment." He was met by Mr. Hitt, chairman of the foreign affairs committee, General Henderson of Iowa, one of the floor leaders of the. majority, and also by the speaker, with the argument that no agreement such as alleged, even if made, which thew denied, could have waived the rules of the house and that any agreement for a vote on a motion necessarily assumed that the motion would be, in order under the rules. This closed the incident. While the language used today was strong there was no display of temper and no ex citement was occasioned, although the statements and counter-statements were enthusiasticallly applauded by the respective sides. Mr. Hitt, chairman of the foreign affairs committee, submitted a privi leged report from his committee, rec ommending the passage of a resolution of inquiry, requesting the state depart ment, if not incompatible with the public interest, to transmit to the house all information in its possession relative to the military execution of Colonel Ruiz, a Spanish envoy to the insurgent camp of Aranguez. The resolution was adopted without divi sion. That the Cuban question is still up permost in the minds of the members was evinced during the debate on the Indian opposition bill much of which was devoted to it. Mr. Cummings, of New York, made a particularly elo quent speech on the spirit of '76 which evoked tumultuous applause from both sides of the house. The house at 5 o'clock adjourned. To A mend Constitution of Virginia Richmond, Va'., January 22. la the senate today Mr. Withers offered a bill providing that at the general election to be held :n Virginia for the election of representatives of congress, there shall be submited to the voters the question: "Shall there be a conven tion to revise the constitution and amend the same?" The bill was re ferred. To Amend the Inter-State Commerce Law Washington. January 22. Senator Cul lom today introduced a new bill for the amendment of the inter-state commerce Jaw. The bill is intended to cover the defects of the present law as indicated by the courts. It gives the inter-state commerce commission authority to pro hibit any railroad company or other com mon carrier from charging: more for a lorrg than? a short .haul over the same line. OPPOSITION TO LONG STREET Hit Confirmation aa Railroad Commission er Vigorously Opposed by Sereral Sena tors Tho Tote in Bis Fsfor. Washington, January 22. The sen ate spent two hours in executive ses sion today in discussion of the nomi nation of General James Longstreet to be commissioner of railroads, which nomination had come over from yes terday because of the objection made then by Senator Vest, who today op posed the confirmation in a sharp and vigorous speech. He was followed on the same side of the argument by Sen ators Daniel, Berry and Caffery. The opposition was based upon the general ground of General Longstreet's con nection with the Kellog-Warmouth faction in politics in Louisiana in the reconstruction days of that state. Mr. Caffery was especially zealous in his opposition, saying that General Longstreet had in those days antago nized the best interest of his state and that for this reason he was opposed to him. He held that the general's position at that time indicated a want of judgment which would render him incapable of filling so important a po sition as that of railroad commis sioner. Senator Daniel vrhile coinciding with these views, also expressed opposition to General Longstreet because of his criticism of General Lee in his book on the war. He did not go into details, but said that he could not m his ca pacity as an advisor to the president in the matter of appointments, con sent to such a selection as this and that he must utter his dissent on this as well as on other accounts. These objections were replied to by Senators Hoar, Chandler and Hawley, republicans, Turner, populist and Ba con, democrat of Georgia. The repub lican senators characterized the oppo sition as a course which looked very much like the waving of the "bloody shirt." Senator Bacon said that, while a democrat and a southern man, he could not see his way clear, to op pose General Longstreet's confirma tion. While it was true that General Longstreet had identified himself with the republican party after the war, he had been a gallant confederate offi cer and was on this account well re garded in the south. Senator Bacon also expressed the opinion that it was tijne that disagreements which suc ceed the war and the friction which resulted therefrom, should be forgot ten. ' During the discussion there was some reference to the fitness of the general to the office and the declara tion was made that he was not com petent to the performance of its duties. Senator White brought out the fact that the general was 77 years old. The vote for confirmation was 33 to 15. A FAMILY SCANDAL In German Royalty Grand Dnke Louis T.aja Violent Hands on 'His Wife More Prussian State Loans Needed Iucreased German Missionary Troubles in China (Copyrighted by the Associated Press.) Berlin, January 22. The court fes tivities of the week (including two which are usually the most imposing of the year, viz: the order and decora tion fete, and the investiture of the new knights of the Black Eagle) were far from gay, owing to the absence of the empress and other princesses and the prevalence of influenza in court circles. The emperor himself is far from well. The number of decorations conferred was larger than ever before, totaling 2,009. There is much comment in Berlin court circles at the news from Darm stadt of the increasing matrimonial differences of the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess Louis. A fortnight ago there was a terrible scene between them and insulting epithets were used on both sides, the trouble culminating, it is asserted, in the grand duke laying violent hands upon his wife and eject ing her from the room. The duke f Saxe-Coburg and Gotha has been re peatedly appealed to by his daughter, and letters of bitter complaint have beei sent to Queen Victoria; but both the duke and her majesty profess their inability to cure the trouble. Tho czarina, who was also approachel on the subject is said to side with her brother, Dulre Louis. The quarrels are said to be largely due to the na tional prejudices of the German? and English, and v'ce versa. The announcement of the minister of finance, Dr. Miquel, in th diet on Wednesday, that, notwithstanding the increased tax receipts and the surplus, new Prussian state loans ara neces sary, has created a sensation. From the information which has reached the foreign office, it appears that the German missionary troubles in China are becoming widespread and are leading to new complications be tween the two governments. The Protestants as well as the Catholics have been attacked. The colonial society has perfected an organization for sending young German women to Damaraland, with the view of marriage. The first batch sail! from Hamburg in February. Official statistics just published show that Prussia flourished in 1896-37. The number of incomes over 900 marks has risen to 2,763,995, an Increase of 111. 480 over 1893-96. Only seven Berlin ers have incomes over 1,000,000 marks. TJie largest is 3,000,000.
