SHAMEFUL TREATMENT OF IEEE
BRAilDES AND f AM1LY IN PAEIS.
M. Andrieux on the Verge of a Revelation.
Offer to Arrest Arton—German
; Agrarian League.
Paris, March 23.—Otto Brandes, Paris cor-
respondent of the Berliner Tagoblatt, ordered
from the country on suspicion of having been
the author of an article charging Ernest Car-
not with receiving Panama money, went to
the police bureau this morning and gave
notico that he would start for Germany at
once. His house at Asnieres, a suburb of
Paris, was already covered with insulting
placards and when he left it with Mrs. Brandos
a crowd of men and boys bogan hooting and
groaning at him. The crowd followed Mr.
and Mrs. Brandos to the train without an
effort from the police to drivo them back.
Shortly afterward Herr Brandos' daughters
left the house to meet their parents in the
city. The young women wero surrounded by
women and boy6 and hustled about, and be-
fore they could get to the train were struck re-
peatedly with sticks and lumps of dirt. One
of the daughtors received a severe cut on the
head and required the services of a physician
before she could leave tho city.
The government made no attempt to pro-
tect the Brandes family from such abuses, but
oven allowed them to travel without an escort
of gondarmes.
Gladstone Replies to a Deputation.
London, March 28.—Gladstone was visited
to-day by delegations from the Belfast cham-
ber of commerce, Belfast harbor com-
missioners and Ulster linen merchants' asso-
ciation, who addressed thepromier in depreca-
tion of the proposition to establish a separate
legislature in Ireland, and represented that
Irish interests would be greatly injured there-
by and that religious and racial differences
would make succeossful home ruio impossible.
Mr. Gladstone in reply discounted the im-
portance of the fall in Irish securities which
he said doubtless arose from the fact that a
majority of the property owning classes in Ire-
land wero opposed to home rule. Gladstone
disputed the allegation that historical jealousy
existed between members of different relig-
ious factions in Ireland and denied that racial
divisions would prevent unity under one local
government.
Suspected Cholera at Halifax.
Halifax, N. S., March 28.—Tho steamer
Lake Superior, from Liverpool, which ar-
rived to-day, brought 470 passengers, all
bound for points in the United States. Among
the number wore two cases of suspicious ill-
ness. The patients were removed to the Vic-
toria general hospital, where they will
remain until it is determined whether
or not they have cholera. The
patients are Oar Ericson of Satmvary,
Norway, ticketed to Chicago, and Martha Jo-
hanna Neiisdotter, from Bergen, Norway, for
Hope, N. D. Dr. McDowoll of Washington,
1). C., visited the patients at the hospital
about noon to-day. He does not think they
are suffering from any infectious disease, but
should such be the case ho says it will de-
velop within the next twelvo hours.
Horrid Eft'cct of Superstition.
New York, March 28.—a Berlin cablo to the
Post says: The Frankfurter Zeitung pub-
lishes a horrible story of superstition from
the villago of Petzen, near Storonee.
A peasant's daughter suffered from hys-
terics and a pnost declared her possossod
of tho devil. Tho peasant consulted a reputed
sorceress, on whoso counsol as tho only euro ho
was to seize and burn tho first person knock-
ing at his door. This happened to be a beg-
gar woman, and ho threw her into the oven.
Her shrioks brought pasaersby, who rescued
her in a dying condition. The peasant, his
daughter and the sorcoress woro arrested.
M. Andrieux as a Witness.
Paris, March 28.—M. Andrieux, ex-prefect
of police, to-day boforo Dho parliamentary
commission repeated the statement that tho
mysterious "X" was neither a conspicuous
diplomatist nor a member of the Carnot fam-
ily. Ho had been driven by forco of circum-
stances to reveal "X's" real name to Clemon-
coau.
Cornelius Herz, who first know "X's" cor-
rect name, had authorized him to make it
public. Motives of honor, however, prevented
nun doing this at present.
Andrieux added that if tho government would
place at his disposal an official with a warrant,
he would agreo to arrest M. Arton, the fugi-
tive Panama lobbyist, within a week.
Mexican Custom* Reform.
New Orleans, La., March 28.—The Times-
Democrat's City of Mexico special says: Hon.
Jose Ives Limantour, secrotary of the treas-
ury, is at present engaged in preparing a
number of important reforms in the
customs service of Mexico, and the
tariff will be simplified at an early
dato. He believes the simplification
of the traffic will result in many benefits and
materially assist business men in their rela-
tions, which they dread at present, not having
tho necessary knowledge of custom house for-
malities, and fearful that mistakes in their
invoice will entail imposition of ruinous fines.
The Agrarian League.
Berlin, March 28.—A well founded accusa-
tion that the agrarian league is subordinating
agricultural interests to party ends has stirrod
tho league into issuing manifestoes repudiat-
ing the charge and declaring that it will not al-
low itselt to be taken in tow by the conservative
radical, anti-Semite or other parties, but will
strictly retain its independence and concen-
trate its energies in order to prevent tho con-
clusion of treaties prejudical to Gorman hus-
bandry.
Tho movement is spreading in south Ger-
many, whoro a now agrarian association is
forming.
Papal Policy for America.
Home, March 28.—Pope Loo to-day gave

taining recruits for the Santa Fe mission.

offices, ho preferring to lot tho oases go boforo

judged insane by a jury in Judgo Callaghan's
court yesterday afternoon. Woodward is a
ranchman, hailing from Frio county, whoro

mained unconscious for eight days. Wheh he

ered his mission in life. It was to raiso an
"army of the Lord" and take up the work
whore Christ left off. Ho had a copy of the
Now Testament in which every paragraph re-
lating to military doings was marked. The
first step he said was to bring all former slaves
back to a condition of slavery. Woodward
purehasod himself a sword and bolt, which ho
would buckle on and then parade the streets.

man msano and ordored him placed under re-
straint. _

The Patriotic Leape, Including the Hawa-
iian Women aud Royalists, Are Op-
posed to Annexation.
San Francisco, Cal., March 28.—[Corre-
spondence Associated Press.J—Advicos from
Honolulu state that the uncertainty which pre-
vails as to tho probable fate of the islands, so
far as the question of annexation to the
United States is concorncd, is having a de-
pressing effect here not only on general trado
but on the morals of tho people, and a fooling
of unrest has arison that will require more
than empty conjectures to still.
The inauguration of the Hawaiian patriotic
league last week, having for its object tho
avowed purpose of maintaining as far as pos-
siblo tho autouomy of tho country, shows how
the opposition to annexation grows with do-
lay.
The league is proposing to admit to work-
ing membership in the order all Hawaiian
women over 20 years of age. Tho women of
the islands are a factor in local politics and
pronounced royalists. Their influence in any
proposed aciion is expected to count for a
great, doal.
Liboral newspapers have proposed that a
republic be established
for tho mtorim that it is popularly supposed
will elapse between the preseut time and that
which the United States shall have arrived at
some conclusion respecting annexation. This is
meeting with some favor.
It is believed that the chango could bo ef-
fected by a voto of "want of confidence" in
the cabinet passed by tho advisory council find
accompanied by an act creating the republic
of Hawaii. The native Hawaiians might cast
a 1 arize vote for Robert Wilcox for president,
but it is more probablo the white politi-
cians would uso Wilcox's expressions
of friendship for Minister Stevens as
a weapon acainst him and succeed
in averting a complimentary nativo voto. In
justice to the moderation and pationce of tho
provisional government and of prominent
men of the American, or annexation party, it
must bo said that they are quietly awaiting
the action of the United States with faith in
its gaud intentions and no doubt as to a satis-
factory conclusion of tho labors of the com-
missioners at Washington. There is a move-
ment on foot to form a political organization
at Honolulu among /
friends of annexation.
Lists aro being circulated about town and a
large number of supporters of tho provisional
government have signified their willingness to
join the society. As soon as sufficient namos
are secured a mass meeting will bo held. The
list is headed as follows: "For tho purposo of
suoporting tho provisional government and to
assise as far as in our power to socure the an-
nexation of theso islands with the United
States of America, we the undersigned agree
to unite in the formation of a political organ-
ization with that objoct in view."
One of the most important changes which
havo occurred since tho provisional govern-
ment assumod power is tho resignation of P.
C. Jones, minister of finance, announced
March 15. Minister Jonea has been sub-
jected to considerable criticism owing to ap-
pointments made to tho departments under
his charge, but his houesty and capability are
unquestioned. The condition of his health is
the cause assigned for his resignation.
The oxoectivo council has chosen C. P.
Porter to suocoed Jones. Porter is a sup-
porter of both the provisional government
aud of annexation.
it is rumored that Attorney General Smith
al»o contemplates resigning.
Tho plea of Sir Edwin Arnold for a Japan-
ese protectorate over Hawaii has again called
attention to a danger which a fow shrewd ob-
servers have foreseen.
Colonel Volney Ashford was not to bo
despisod and was satisfied that tho officers of
the warship naniwa
would havo made an effort to annex or estab-
lish a protoetorato in tiio islands had sho not
been forestalled by Minister Stevens. Colonol
Ashford is bitterly opposed to disfranchise-
ment. but is just as firm a believer that tho
islands should be immediately joined to the
United States if the rights of tho Hawaiians
aro maintained. From what ho observed dur-
ing eitfht months' enforced absonco in Canada
and the United States, he is satisfied the Amer-
ican people will not tolerato a proposition to
deprive the Hawaiians of their liberty.
General A. S. Ilartwoll also holds that if
the Unitod Statos withdraws hor protection
it will force the islands either into the hands
of England or Japan. "The old conditions,"
ho said, "can not bo restored. The local
government will maintain its authority as
long as it can, then tho proposition made to
the Unitod States, if rejoctod by them, will
have to bo made in sheer solf protection to
Great Britain. Of course it will bo said that
tho Unitod States would not regard English
occupancy with favor, but if any estrange-
ment between the two countries wero likoly
England would probably kindly consent to
bargain with the United Statos and
turn the island* over to them, making the best
terms slio|Jeould, but in any event this would
involve the United States in more difficulties
than they encounter here now. Tho Jaoanese
in 1887 made a demand for suffrage and this
is one of the questions which tho United States
will surely have to face. On a popular voto
12,000 to 15,000 Japanese votes hero would go
far toward carrying the islands for their own
country. I havo hoard that
the japanese government
is encouraging suits to recover from planters
for alleged breaking of labor contracts grow-
ing out of the overturning of tho Hawaiian
monarchy, which was one of the parties to the
contract, but I do not seo how such suits can
hold, for tho reason that planters arc not re-
sponsible for tho alleged broaches, and, sec-
ondly. they need labor and desire to carry out
their contracts."
Chief Justice Judge also thinks Japan has
designs upon the islands. He instanced
the fact that the captain of tho Naniwa had
not called upou the provisional government,
and said it was probable that if the United
States abandoned its protectorate tho Japan-
oso would consider no government existed in
the islands and would raise their flag,
Tho Japanese government officials aro un-
derstood to bo profiting through remuneration
of tho labor of thoir subjects hero, and an-
other thousand of them have loft Japan for
Hawaii.
British Minister Wedohouso is on friendly
terms with the Japaneso commissioner, and it
has even been charged that Wedehouse had
advised the commissioner as to his
policy. In conversation with men of
unimpeachable integrity Friday last Wede-
housesaid: "Tho Hag of the Unitod States
will havo to como down and tho Boston's
troops bo removed," adding that a commis-
sioner would bo sont here from the Unitod
Statos to investigate tho situation. Certain
other remarks of the British ministor havo
civen offenso to Americans horo, who beliovo
ho is acting without instructions from his gov-
ernment, or rather beyoud suoh as he may
have received.

Served Under His Command.

Nashville, Tonn., March 28.—^ special
from Sewaneo, Tenn., to the American says:
General E. Kirby Smith, profossor of mathe-
matics in tho University of the South sinco
1875, died here this afternoon.
For two years his health had been declin-
ing. Two weeks ago ho was taken
sick in New Orleans and confined
to bod for five or six days, but
recovered sufficiently to travel, and reported
at Sowanee ready for duty Monday, March
19. Two days afterward ho caught cold. A
rolapso ensued, his condition being compli-
cated by congestion of the right lung. Every-
thing in human power was dono to save him,
but from tho first it was evident tho
chances wore against his recovery.
Ouce or twice during temporary peri-
ods of semi-consciousness his mind
wandered through past scenes, and he ordored
batteries to come up.
Early this morning ho became totally uu-
conscious. Ilia end was very peaceful. His
wife and six of his family wero with him. Ho
died as ho lived, bright, strong and confident
in Christian faith anil hope.
Ono of his very last conuected utterances
was a verso from Psalm xxiii. "Though I walk-
through the valley and shadow of death, I will
fear no evil, for thou art with me."
A recent sketch of tho deceased says: An
officer whoso services to the confederacy were
exceptionally valuaU1. as they supplied its
most pressing need, is General Edmund Kirby
Smith, who is now pro lessor of mathematics in
the University of the South at Se-
wanee, Tenn. Ho is a man of pro-
found learning whose singularly modest, quiet
manner gives no indication of the dashing
cavalry officer who won his spurs in 1859
in conflict with the Comanches on the border
under the stars and stripes and led tho ad-
vance under tho stars and bars with Braxton
Bragg in tho Kentucky campaign of 18G2. Ho
comes of a family of soldiers, his grandfather
having fought in tho revolutionary war and
his father having distinguished himself in tho
second war with England. His brother
Ephrairn was a soldier, too. He fell in lcadmg
a desperato assault on a Mexican battery at
Molino del Roy. By one of the painful coinci-
dences of tho war. a eon of this brother
Ephrairn was a colonel in tho federal army,
who might any day have met 1ub undo
in deadly combat. Ho fell at Corinth in
13G2. Edmund Kirby Smith is now 08 years
old and served fifteen years in the Unitod
Statos army before entering tho service of the
confederacy. His rank, when ho resigned his
commission in 1861, was that of major, and
ho entered the confederate army as a lieutenant
colonel of cavalry. Ho was severely woundod
in tho battle of Bull Hun, but in tho 1802 cam-
paign he was again at tho front and did
brilliant service ia oast Tennessee and Ken-
tucky. General Smith was the last general to
surrender his forces, After tho war closed he
became president of tho Atlantic nnd Pacific
telegraph company, but in 1870 he found more
congenial occupation as chancellor of the uni-
versity of Nashville, which five years later he
resigned for tho professorship ho now holds.
A Gnn^r.tl Order.
New Orleans, La., March 28.—The follow-
ing general order, No. 84, was issued from tho
United Confederate Veterans' headquarters
to-night:
With the deepest emotion and heartfelt sor-
row tho general commanding announces to
our brotherhood of comrades tho sad news

beloved leaders whoso civic virtues, martial
achievements and stainless lifo crown him

eral E. Kirby Smith, late commander of
tho eastern department of tho United Con-
federate Veterans and tho last of the full gen-
orals of tho confederacy has closed his illus-
trious career, his noble spirit having passed
into tho mystery of death to-day.
The brilliant service and imperishable deeds
rendered by him in the Mexican war wreathed
a chaplet of famo around his brow and Hashed
his name across tho history of that cpoch to
remain undimmed forever.
In our Titanic struggle, stricken down at
Bull Run, he was ono of the first officers whoso
blood was poured out for tho south, and ho is-
sued tho last order Of our fatal war.
He roso rapidly from captain to the rank of
full general and filled tho successive grades
with matchless ability.
Invested with plenary powers in tho trans-
Mississippi department, as military com-
mander and as civilian, he has left to his
countrymen and to posterity a record for abil-
ity aud integrity which will forover challenge
admiration. Dignified, modest, tender and of
most lovable disposition, he was intent upon
every measure Whioh benefited his people or
made prosperous our reunited country.
His funeral will take place at Sowaneo,
Tenn., Friday, March 31, at 12 noon, and

LED TO MANY ARRESTS.
Result of the Killing of Lee Stephenson,
the Alleged Car Robber.
Paiiis, Tex., March 28.—Tho killing of Leo
Stephenson, the alleged car robber, last night
has been followed by a large number of ar-
rests to-day and tho recovery of a quantity of
goods. Tho officers havo suspected that two
negro stores here woro fences for the car rob-
bers, but wanted to capture the thieves before
raiding the stores.
As soon as Stephenson was killed last night
watches were sot on t hese places and tho occu-
pants were seen during the night hiding
things away in outbuildings, at one placo oven
filling a well. This morning the places wore
searched. At tho store of James Dawson,
who had boon regarded as ono of tho loading
colored men, a quantity of groceries and
clothing was found.
Tho goods had been stolon from the cars
and packed away in tho loft of his store, in a
collar, undor tho store and in a well in tho
yard. Dawson is worth about $12,000 or $15,-
000 and his complicity in tho matter caused
much surprise. James Dawson, his sou John,
and his wife and daughter, wero all arrested,
Teunio Cook and Mattio Gool, two women
living in houses of Dawson's adjoining tho
store, had a lot of tho goods concealed and
they were also arrested.

Dyke and Anthony Gray a lot of furniture,
hardwaro and groceries wero found coucealed
and they woro arrested.
Some of the hardware had been stolon from
tho store of the liickii-Bellos hardwavo com-
pany. Van Dyko said they bought of Henry
Dcbro, the company's porter, and he was ar-
rested.
The robberies havo cost tho Frisco and
Santa Fe roads over $<>000 in the last six
months.

mer is a probable encounter betweon the

SF0KTING TOPICS.
BLOODSHED AT ANTLERS.
THE MILITIA 0HAHGED UPON DI0Z
LOOSE'S HOUSE.
It Was Riddled With Bullets and Several
Men Woundod—One of the Militia-
men Mortally Hurt.
Paris, Tox., March 28.—The Choctaw foud
haa resulted in bloodshed. A sharp and most
desperate encounter took place at Antlers at
2.30 this evening and for thirty minutos a
storm of leaden hail foil about the town.
At that hour seventy-eight militiamen sud-
donly debouched from tho woods into and
charged down upon tho residonco of Dick
Locko, tho loader of tho national party, and
fired upon it.
Locke saw them coming and barely got
into his house when tho
fusillade upon it began.
Locko with livo men returned the firo from
the upper stories. Fully 1500 shots woro fired
and every window was shot out and the walis
perforated like a sieve. Stray bullets flew
far and wide and terror and consternation
prevailed throughout tho town. In Locke's
houso throe men wore found wounded.
Wake Hall was shot through tho Bhoulderf
wound painful but not necessarily dangerous.
John Worcostor and Solomon Homer, shot
in tho head aud seriously wouudod.
Of tho militia Solomon Battiste was «hot
through the arm and in tho side, mortally
wounded.
Three others had flesh wounds.
Locke's littlo daughter had her hair burned
as by a but lot as sho was going up stairs with
HER MOTUEH'S BAIilf in her ARMS.
A ball passed through Locke's hat and his
son's arm wa* grazed. It is said that his chil-
dren wero shot as they endeavored to go from
the residence to a cabin m tho yard.
Great uneasiness prevails at Antlers to-
night. Fears are entertained that the town
will bo burned. A strong posse of doputy
marshals went from hero to Antlers to keep
the poaco. It is feared that Locke's
entire forco will break camp and return to
Antlors. If so they may attack the militia.
This opinion is strongly ontortainod bymauy.
Should they do bo it will moro seriously com-
plicate matters. Many believe tho militia
will leave to-morrow; that thoy seo they havo
gone too far and will leave that section.
"THIKD PAK.TY FLIES."
A Now Cattlo Post That Is Becoming Vary
Troublesome.
Victoria, Tex., March 28.—A new post,
called by stookmon "third party fiios," has
made its appearance in this section, and'is
very troublesomo to cattle. These flies re-
semble in appearanco tho common houso fly,
but are smaller. They gather on tho cattle in
swarms and, congregating in ono spot, will
eat until they causo a raw spot on the animal.
One of the worst features about tliom is that
they continue their depredations night and
day, giving the animals no rest from their
scourging. If they do not disappear with tho
advent of warmer woather they will, in con-
junction with the screw-worm flies, causo
much damage to stock. Cattlemen &ay this
fly made its first appearance in this country
m Colorado last year and was there given its
namo of "third party fly" by tho ranchmen.
Tho corn crop in this county is in splendid
condition. Most of it has been worked over
onco. Cotton planting is going on rapidly and
there will be a largely increased acreagj in
the county on account of the new land being
put into cultivation by new comers. The sea-
son can not bo called particularly forward,
but tho crop prospect is seldom moro favora-
ble at tins time of tho year than at present.
Grass is m oxcellont condition and cattle aro
fattoning rapidly.
For the past ton days or more a dry northor
has been blowing that sucks up moisture like
a sponge and retards the growth of vegetation.

New York, March 28.—[Special.]—Fighter
Corbett has a growing respect for fighter Mit-
chell. Lasi night Corbett said: "I havo a
far higher idea of Charley than I entertainod
some months ago. Then I looked upon him
as the most confirmed blowhard in the world
of pugilism. Now I am convinced that ho
really moans business and wants to fight.
Since ho has shown this disposiption, I am de-
termined to moot him half way. As to tho
$10,000 aido bet, lot Mitchell decide about
that. I am willing to have it called off alto-
gether if tho club which secures tho fight ob-
jects to it.
"In ray opinion $75,000 would be about the
proper liguro. I have already had an offer of
$10,000 from tho Coney Island club."
Sunday next the champion wili leave for
Montreal and journey thenco by oasy stages

EXPERIENCE IS THE BEST TEACHER
An Opinion Bused on Practical Tests by an
Honest-Minded Citizen.
It has boon about three months sinco I pur-
chased an Eloctropoiso, and desiring to speak
from knowledge* i havo delayed giving my views
in regard to its merit.
I will sav now that tho little child that wo got
it especially for and ou whom wo havo boon using
it with tho lowest power, lias stoadily but surely
improved from tho start.
This caso is ono of partial paralysis from birth,
aggravated by measles. I havo used it also for
still nock, hoadaoho and other troubles with tho
most satisfactory results.
One of theso ca^es upon which I used it was a
case of general dobility brought on by rheuma-
tism, neuralgia and dysentbry, which baffled the
skill of the physicians, aud the man was oxpectod
to die.
Eight hours'use of the Eloctropoiso broke up
the trouble, and two more treatments of an hour
a day each tinishod the cure aud made it perma-
nent, tho man boiug able to do a day's work in
lct;s 1 han ton days. I will got you his personal
certificate as soon as opportunity will allow and
will advise you further of my experience with tho
Eloctropoiso as the circumstaucos justify.
I am of tho opinion that th$ Eloctropoiso, in-
telligently used, is tho greatost curative agent
that has been discovorod for tho general ailments
of humanity. Yours very truly,
A. A. Nobth.
Nashville, Tonn., Novombor 17,1392.
Spring woaknoss and general debility, as well
as all forms of acute and chronic diseases, aro
easily curod by the Eloctropoiso.
It needs but a trial to convince tho most skep-
tical that tho Electropoiso is tho best thing in the
world for the treatmont of disease.
