FROM FOREIGN SHORES The Leasee of PatrioU Vehemently De--I nounce the Visit of Princess Frederick 1 to the Palace at Versailles. THE BID FAT OF A GATE BUSB1AB. j3he Had Lovers by the Score and That T Was the Causa of Her Dwth-T- he Ciar's Iron Hand, j k?Aftts, Feb. 25. The organization v,jwu as the League of Patriots has J" litly denounced the visit of Km-- ' J Frcdorick of Germany to the j('ice at Versailles Monday last. The t .ruo has decided to hold meetings of Aojest until the imperial visitor leaves lie city. It is known here that in Bor-I- n it was expected that President . Jarnot would call upon Empress Fred- - r,'ck, but after a special cabinet nieet-- ) . ing was held it was decided that as Empress Frederick was travelling incog-nito the French government could com-promise the matter by sending the chief of President Carnot's military house-hold, General Grugore and M. Hibot, minister of foreign allairs, to call upon i the empress. This accordingly was done. This question of etiquette was un-doubtedly dono because of so much anxiety and worry to the members of the French cabinet and was made the subject of long and earnest discussion I efore it was linally concluded. The government could' not dare to risk a verdict of pub-- " lie opinion in case President Carnot called upon the imperial visitor. A POLICE RECORD. Cemniltslon.r Greeninan Read, at Scorch-lu- g I, on. t The way Captain (ireeuman exooria-te- d Hords, the defaulting busbancj who tried to avenge his imaginary griev-ances by starving his wife and six childrento death, was a warning to those of like temperament and not a comparison to the penalty that will be Imposed should the brute be dragged up before him again. Not appeased by the inhuman outrages he had heaped .on the poor woman, ho re-sorted to the vilest calumuies and upon the witness staud testitiod that he was not the father of the little ones who were gathered about her. Commissioner Greenman, who was irrepressibly inj dignant at so brazen aud cpw-atdl-y a declaration very wisely checked the witness up at this juncture and read a lecture that was more scorching than a woman scorned. Hards was discharged on bis promise to do what he could to provide for his family. The case of the People v Richard Edwards was to have been ventillated before Commissioner Greenman at 2 o'clock this afternoon but the defendant and his wife were called upon to attend the'funcral of William Knox the father of Mrs. Edwards who died on Monday last. It is thought the matter will be compromised. i William Kolley and John Dee, charged with robbing Charles Kahler of $20 at Hegney's saloon were taken before Judge Laney at 2 o'clock this afternoon tor examination. The evi-dence is quite plain aud they will in all probability be held to the action of the grand jury. W. D. Burton who was taken in on a charge of petit larceny was discharged bv Judge Lauey. "There were eight drunks in police court this morning upon each of whom was imposed the usual penalty.

The Company Did Business Outside of the State of Illinois for Which it Must Also Answer to tho Law, Chicago, Feb. 25. Attorney-Gen-e- r il Hunt today filed a bill in the cir-cuit court to dissolve the Consolidated Mutual Firo Insurance company of Chicago. An examination into tho af-fairs of the company November last disclosed tho facts that its capital was impaired JW.OtiO. Auditor Pavey upon whose relations the bill was brought, discovered that ninety pages had been taken out or torn from the journal of the company. It is claimed the book-keeper tore tho pages from the book to coaceal errors which it contained and the incompetent manuer in which it was kept. Insurance ri;.ks inforce the amount of '1,113 000.

THE MARINE IS DEAD. The Late Laddy Who Sported Wined and Dined in Zion is Indeed a Back Number. FLAYED A DESPERATE GAME. . Of Money, Nymphs and Nectar Was What - Ha Wanted, Not Prize Kin Laurels. . k As a pugilist dependent on tho back- - ing of the sport and allegiance of those A. who have hitherto had confidence in his Q skill, his delivery aud his bull dogged - endurance La Blanche is dead, deader in fact, than a smoked herring. His in- - -4 fegrity no longer rises to tho dignity of Q' deuce high. In the prin ring be'a us extinct as the plesiosaurian habitants of W the unfathonicd deep. His friends in , Zion arc no lunger at a loss for some- - r thing to which to ascribo his debauch- - fj) ry while hiipodroming in this city. He ignored tho honor that should exist j! even among hippodromists however ami W is yet indebted to Ed. Williams for hia services on the night of tho alleged ex-hibition at the Franklin Avenue theater. He probably overlooked that as he did, a number of other bets on tho Dcmpsey-Fit.simmo- ns mill. His memory, like his prize ring integrity, is probably-frai- l and duceptive. Charity, at least, dictates that much. P.ut his fight (?) with Young Mitchell. "Ve gods!" exclaims the backer and bonifa:e, "what a stupendous farce." Not that ho has been victimized. Oh, no; ho was on to the Marine uext as it were to his choice quality of veracity. They didn't lose on him; they won oi Mitchell. There were several thous-ands of dollars won here in fa ;t. They were won on tho decision of the referen. He was tho returning board, and like) the ever-livin- decision in Louisiana, there's no going behind the returns. Technically the Zionite who injudi-ciously planked his peculiuni ou L Blanche has lost morally, he has beea the victim of a slugger's wild pecula-tions and has tho right to whatever de-cision at which the board of directors at the California Athletic club may ar-rive. "The Marine," gays Ed. Kel-le- y, tho nesior of local sporting; men, "was desperate, His policy throughout his pugili.stio career has been to buy wine ou a beer income. That's copied from n remark that wm mado by John L. Sullivan. He should have realized a fortune from his defeat of tho Nonpareil. Probably he did, but failed to hoard it. His downfall began in the midst of his pugilistic) prosperity. His star began to set when it was shining brightest. The stand-ol-that Kessler gave him at Butte was the tirst nail in his professional collin. lie was maudlin when he entered tho ring? with Williams. He bad given himself """ up to every varioty of dissipation and t- - J was probably a financial mockery be- - !&b fore be landed on the scene of Jus late) fake. He was ' desperate. It v.vaf ' anything to recoup his exchequef-- ' d n tho laurels and this was the game for which he played. The inter-est was high but he had to have money. It's money that buys uymphs and Hec-tor and that's the goal of the Marine's ambition. I fetd sorry for him. He must have become a temporary imbi- - cilo. His name is ghost. He is on tha black list. There's no such thing as resurrection this Bido the graveyard.' No man doubts his prowess but wbat's prowess without financial backing? Ho may as well turn himself outto pasture) he's no longer in it." Walter Hubbard of the Council re-ceived a dispatch last evening that in forms him that the board of directors will not take up tho fako for a final decision until March 8. In the mean-time tho stake holder clings to tha exchequer notwithstanding the fact that behind tho decision of tho referee there is no going. ' AMID FALLING WALLS. Turns, Arizona, the Eoene of Desolation Caused by the Breaking of the Levee, in the Gila River, THE LEVEE WAS OLD AND WEAK. Every One Forced to Flea for Their Livei to Higher and Safer Ground Leav-ing Everything Behind. Yt MA, Ariz., Feb. 25. The work of strengthening the levee had to be given upbucause it was old aud weak aud people began to move to higher ground on Sunday. At 4 o'clock Sunday after-noon tho levee broke and iu au hour aud a half tho town was almost wholly under water. The air was filled with noise mado by falling walls aud screams of women aud children. Many people had no timo to get out their furniture and lost all. Over 100 houses are in ruins. An American named Gus Leo was drowned but there was no other loss of life. Railroad and telegraph ollices were flooded eut. People camped on the hills and the United States build-ings have been thrown open to them. There is much destitution, but no suffering yet, there beiug provisions in town suflicient for a week. The board of trade meeting Monday made liberal donations for the sulferers. A relief committee was organized by the citizens and at several stores goods are given to all applying. Tho country east of here is all under water as far as heard from. Meagre reports say the loss of property aud livestock in Gila valley is very heavy. Reports reached here of another rie in tho Gila and most all of the peo-ple have moved to higher ground. There has been no trains since Monday morning last. Washington, Feb. 25. The signal ofiiee furnishes tho following special bulletin: High water is impend-ing in the Mississippi river be-low Cairo, The highest water, liftysevon feet three inches, oc-curred at Cincinnati today, there hav-ing been a rise of sixteen feet in the past six hours.

Tho storm in this saction was one of the woi st known. Hut little damage-resulte-in the city proper. On the river front all railroad bridges were damsged and in many cases swept out. News from the surrounding country is very meagre owing to the telegraph wires being down. Many reports of loss of life have been re-ceived, but tqe only losses autneitica-te- d are the drowning of a man named Wells 'with his wife and child near Wilmington. It is understood that great dninage was done to orchards and ranches south of this city, where tho floods were the worst i"i years. Many houses were damaged and fences and out buildings destroyed. San Fkam isco. Feb. 23. The latert reportv show that the storm is about over. Serious damage was dono to railroad proberty bridges and tracks having been "washed away, and telegraph wires prostrated. The Sunset route will brobably be inoperative frr a wei k and the Atlantic & Pacific has suspended sale of overland tickets via Majave be-cause of a washout near Barstow.

Attorneys for Washburn & Moen, manufacturers of barbed wire, are going over a contract for the sale of the former to the latter of barbed wire watents, and it is stated the transaction is almost certain to be completed at some time during the day. When this matter has been completed the directors of tho company formed by the manufacturers to purchase patents will meet and lix a royalty to bo paid under the new arrangements. It is thought probable that tho present roy-alty, $1 per ton, will be continued. The question of prices will also be consid-ered. SARCASM UNSURPASSED By Tall.jrand, I. What wa. S.r.ad op to Hall by 1'ar.on., Last night Councilman Hall in speak-ing to the question of the Deep Creek railroad, raised his voice in the inter-est of the poor man and placed him-self on record as being in favor of giving tlio p. m. plenty of air. He said, "ho was opposed to selling the old Fort square. Hu wanted the block reserved for the poor. lie wanted a spot where the poor man could go in tho evening and rest aud where he could get a breath of fresh air; where he could go and sit in the shade of an umbrageous tree and listen to the little birds singing their merry tra la la to their feathered husbands, wives and children. He wanted a block where the poor man could take 'his wife and babies aud behold them romping (the children) in the new mown whiskers which had been cut from the lawn aud drink from a foun-tain of pure water flowing freely for all. But he wanted above all, beyond and under all, to give tho poor man air lots of air. For these reasons he was opposed to the selling of the block." Then Mr. Hall sat down and Mr. Parsons got up. He felt as if he had been inspired by something he couldn't exactly tell what, to speak a little piece; he fell as if be wanted to orate a good deal himself on the prerogative of the poor man in the past, the present and the future. When he had gotten through with bis little talk he had surprised bis auditors, Councilman Hall and even himself. He had made a great bit as an orator, and the consciousness of it made him blush, and his whole anatomy was suffused with the same delightful glow a youug girl feels when she has re-ceived her first proposal. His speech is too funny to be omitted, and he re-plied to Mr. Hall about like this: "Our committee before it agreed to recom-mend to the council the selling of the old Fort block, fully considered tho poor man and his privileges and rights in it should it ever become a park." We thought the old block had never done the poor man any good and from its present condition could do him no good. And on the other hand we thought if we sold tho block it would mean the expenditure of a quar-ter of a million dollars in a depot build-ing; it would mean the expenditure of over two million of dollars in tho construction of a railroad the money being all spent among the poor men of this city; we thought of all the hun-dreds of thousands of dollars which would be required to build shops, round houses and works of every kind which would give employment to tho poor man at good American wages. It struck the committee that if this was accomplished it would be of far greater advantage to the poor man than the fresh air which he would bo able to secure amidst the smoke and delightful perfume of de-caying vegetables. With good wages, the poor man would be enabled to take his dear wife and babies in a street car to Liberty park and there give them a chance to get air that was pure indeed, and there to give them a chance to revel in the beauties of nature, and watch the nioonboaras stealing over ala-baster lamps, and listen to the music of sweet lutes gushing forth from amidst the roses. We thought that by selling the block we would be preparing for the day when the poor man could indulge in these blessings, he having the where- - with to buy a car ride. Sres we were opposed to using the old square for a potato patch any longer. Gentlemen if thi council rejects this proposition to sell tho block and build the contem-plated railroad which will make of this city great workshop, then what will the poor laboring man do? He will have no work, and he goes to niv friend Mr. Hall and asks for bread", will that gentleman tell him to go aud tako a walk in the park and stand against a strong north-west wind with a funnel and get some air, good fresh air? I don't tiunk Mr. Hall is that kind of a man." Then he sat down, aud Mr, Hall kept a thinking, and a thinking, and think-ing! JUST AN EVEN DOZEN.

Knt.r a Grocery Mora on Flr.t Wt Ntraot and i.t Away witb WS. During a temporary abseuco of the proprietor, Mr. Croxall, who keeps a local grocery store on First West, be-tween Second and Third South streets, last night, three young thieves entered the place and rifled the cash till of its contents to the amount of $11 or 18. They required but a moment to break tho lock of the drawer, and had just fin-ished their work and wore making their unceremonious exit through the door when Mr. Croxall returned. When tho kids saw him they made their legs do bail for their honesty and took to their heels in great style. This action only confirmed Mr. Croxall's suspicions that all was not just square, so he gave chaso. but he is not so young as ho was some years ago, and he was beaten out of sight in the first block. He describes the boys as being about 15 J ears of age. OSMAN DlCNA'S DEFEAT. A IdlHonal Detail. About tha Hloody Fight at Tokay. Suakw, Feb. 25. Further particulars nf tho battlo at Tokay are received. When the forces approached each other strenuous efforts were made by parties of both to secure the shelter of some houses just beyond the lines for protec-tion. A company of Egyptians, after race with a large body of Dervishes, seized some ruins and opened fire on the enemy, killing over 100 there. The enemy then extended their lines, outflanked the Fgypt:ans, and a party of horsemen, led by Osinan Digna, threatened tho rear where the trans-ports were placed. The Egyptians made a brave staud, however, and 'though the situation was critical for a time, succeeded in repelling the enemy with severe less. At tho night of the fight the trans-port camels and mules stampoded, and the Dervishes got among them. The Egyptian cavalry made a fierce charge and succeeded in driv-ing back the enemy. They followed lie Dervishes, but the latter fled pre- - , Iiuitalely. On reaching Osman Digna's V'ond position, the Egyptians found in valley an Arab village, the inhabit- - 'Ants of which poured out and begged 'pardon. A number of bodies of sheiks were found.

There are now thirty-fou- r members in good standing on the real estate ex-change aud nearly all of them were in attendance when the president's gavel fell this morning calling them to order. They joshed aud jostled each other on tho condition of the market and good naturedly joked at tho fine point that was made last night iu the council meeting by Councilman Parsons. Railroad discussion, however was tabooed, ail seeming to tac-itly agree that everything would eventually work out right. While tho action of the council in deferring consideration of the Fort squaro propo-sition was disappointing, it was not tinal atyl all had a hope that the peti-titio- n would reully pass at tho uext meeting.

She was not for a moment other than a remarkable sittht, whether lounging in tho lazy languor of her dalliance with Antony or roused lo tierce animation in the episodes of wrath; whether listening quietly behind the curtains of her recre-ant lover's bed to his dialogue with his bride, or madly assaulting the messen-ger who brought unwelcome tidings; whether beginning her enticements or committing suicide as a consequence of them. The soft, cling-ing revelatory, yet never indecent, robings of Egyptian fabrics lent them-selves to evorv variety of pose or mo-tion. The tropical tint of the face and bared arms, and the curling mass of auburn hair, brought the woman nearer to beauty than usual. There was about her a rare mingling or supple delicacy of person and virile force of mind, which no other actress alive can express with equal distinctness. Foater. Commission Signed. Washington.

The grave and solemn manner in which Spotted Horse and the other Sioux braves at Washington have been talking about the "sad sights" at the i battle of Wounded Knee last month is amusing to whoever knows the red man. Admire what qualities we may in the Indian, he will always be found cold, unsympathetic aud intensely crnel. The torturing of dogs and cats and the everyday cruelties that go ou at every reservation make a white visitor's gorge rise. In battle an Indian sees no cruelty, but in Washington, where the verv air is surcharged with polities, he suddenly becomes humane, it seems. 7 1'orrlgn Flash... (ONPOV, Feb. 25.
