The French Ministry has resigned, owing to differences In the Cabinet over the arrest of ex-Minister of Public Works Bulhut and other matters. At Paris the greatest excitement prevails and people throng the streets. The police are out in force and dispersing crowds. President Carnot has charged M. Rlbot with the duty of reconstructing the Ministry. It is openly charged that the President and M. Rlbot are not in earnest in the Panama prosecutions and that they have no intention of bringing the bribe-takers to trial, and that the prosecution of De Lessees, Foutane, Cottu and Eiffel will be nothing more than a farce It is also charged that efforts artbeing made to postpone the exposure of certain guilty parties until the law of prescription will have taken effect. The ministry, which has resigned, was the same as the old ministry of M. Loubet, with the relative situations of its members changed and without M. Ricard and M. Roche. BEN BTLI.EK IS DEAD. Though His Demise Was Entirely Unexpected, He Expired at Washing ton. Benjamin F. Butler, the lawyer, statesman, politician, and millionaire manufacturer, died at his Washington residence at 1:30 o'clock Wednesday morning. During the present winter a case which had been decided against him In the highest courts of the State of Massachusetts and In which he took an appeal to the United States Supreme Court had demanded his almost constant residence in the capital. He was a familiar figure at the sessions of that body on Mondays, when the decisions were handed down. Finally, a few weeks ago, the case was decided against him. Whether or not the loss of this case, to which he had paid such clcse attention, brought anything more than the sorrows of a casual defeat will not be known. His death created an immense surprise, as it was not even known that he was ailing, any more than any man who had lived and labored so long would be. At the hour of his death, public details of his taking off were more than meager.

It began to grow colder toward the middle of the afternoon, and the leaden-colored clouds assumed a troubled, threatening look. The wind was uneasy and blew in fierce gusts. During the early evening the snowflakes, which had been straggling down all afternoon, began to fall fast and furious. The snow became fine as dust as it Increased In volume.

At any rate the two gallant skippers have resolved that If they have any dirty linen to wash they will betake themselves to a private laundry. The statement of Captain Ferguson sent by cable from Liverpool thut the Umbria was In no danger when he met her and that he feared he would run out of coal himself If he lingered, all his coal being needed for his own use, appeared to satisfy all the Cunard people In New York.

SIXTY MEN ARE KILLED

BLOODY FICHT BETWEEN A MOB AND A POSSE. Result or a Sheriff's Effort to Save HU Prisoner from a Lynching— Officials Overpbwered, the Jail Entered, and the Prisoner Brutally Murdered. Terrible Seene of Carnage. A mob of 500 masked men entered the Jail at Bakersville, N. 0., and took Calvin Snipes, who had murdered leaac Osborne, a prominent citizen of Mitchell county, to a dense forest about half a mile distant and lynched him. Eleven of the sheriff’s posse were killed in their efforts to defend the prisoner. About twenty-five of the mob were killed, and among the dead and wounded were some of the must prominent men in the county. The jail Is a frame building and little calculated to jvithstand an assault. But Sheriff Moomaw had it garrisoned with about seventy-live determined men, who declared they would see the law upheld or die. The attack was expected. A formal demand was made upon Sheriff Moomaw for Swipes by a messenger from the mob, who approached tho jail under a flag of truce. To this the garrison responded: “We will die first." Then they knew there would be a fight. Winchesters were loaded and the wait for the final struggle began. At least five hundred armed men marched up the road and then with a howl broke on a run for the jail. The garrison was ready for them. “Halt, or I’ll give the order to fire,” rang out Sheriff Moomaw’s voice. No attention was paid to the warning.

Fought Like Demons. “Fire!” rang out the order, and seven-ty-five rifles poured a direct and flanking hail of bullets into the determined lynchers. They wavered a moment as a score of them went down, but with the steadiness of veterans closed up their ranks and rushed forward again under the leadership of a gigantic mountaineer who urged them forward. Again the rifles of the besieged rang out, and this time they were answered by a concentrated lire from the mob. The aim was deadly and a dozen deputies fell wounded and killed. Their bodies hampered those who were unharmed, and only a few could close up to the windows and return the volley before the mob was upon them. There was a short struggle. What were sev-enty-five men against 60U? A few revolver shots, 100 elubbod rifles and all was over. The deputies, with their leader. Sheriff Moomaw, mortally wounded, were in the hands of the mob. There was no hope in further resistance, and the fate of the murderer was sealed. Without lvaiting to pick up the dead or care for the wounded, the mob made a rush at the door of the jail, and it went down before the shoulders of a score of stalwart men. The prisoner, half dead with fear, was dragged out into the open air, where a rope was plaoed around his neck. Lynched at Awful Cost. He was dragged over the ice-covered rocks to a piece of woo Hand half a mile away. Behind followed the remainder of the mob, firing at the prostrate |form at every step. The victim was undoubtedly dead before he had been dragged twenty yards, and it was the mere semblance of human form that was strung up when the woods were reached. Then the mob returned to look for the dead and wounded. In the little inclosure and on the roadbed in front of the jail twenty-five bodies were found and in the three buildings eight more were rigid in death. About thirty others were wounded, some of them fatally, among these being gallant Sheriff Moomaw, who was shot twice through the chest and three times through the abdomen. Bakersville is miles away from a telegraph office and all news must go to Johnson City, in Tennessee, by carrier. Since the first news was received four more of the Sheriff’s posse are reported dead and five more of the mob.

Twenty-five More Killed. Later advices from Bakersville say that the mob, instead of dispersing, as was expected, remained upon the ground, and the scattered handful of the Sheriff's posse also remained under arms, and they are being rapidly re-en-forced. All through the following day they continued to receive accessions to their ranks, which increased to 600. Feeling ran high, and after a few speeches ihe posse resolved to avenge Sheriff Moofnaw’s death. Another battle took place shortly after noon, in which at least twenty-five more were killed, and the firing is still going on. What will be the result no one can tell. Troops are expected. Story of the Murder. The facts which led up to the terrible affray were as follows; Aaron Wiseman and Calvin Snipes were partners in an Illicit distillery in Mitchell County, North Carolina, and had told William Osborne and Isaac Osborne, brothers, where the distillery was situated. William Osborne reported the distillery to the officials at Bakersville, N. C., and helped them to destioy it. Wiseman and Snipes suspected Isaac Osborne of being the informer. On the night of Aug. 27, 1892, Snipes and Wiseman, armed with Winchester rifles, went to the house of Isaae Osborne and called him up. Mr. Osborne came to the door, and the moonshiners opened fire, almost riddling him with bullets. Wiseman and Snipes were arrested, but sufficient evidence could not be obtained against Wiseman and he was released. Snipes was bound to the Superior Court on purely circumstantial evidence. He was placed in jail, and after being confined about t%o weeks confessed to the killing in the manner above related.

SENATOR ALLISON ON SILVER.

He Believes the Nations 'Will Beach an Agreement at Brussels. According to a Washington correspondent Senator Allison enters an emphatic denial of the intimation that

his intended resignation from the chairmanship of the United States international monetary conferrees Ind i o ated an abandonment of the conference or was, in fact, to be taken as an -indication that the commissioners o f our country believe the work of the conference '•will avail nothing.

SENATOR ALLISON.

"It is my intention to send in my resignation, not precipitately, but after awhile, before the time of reconvening the conference, simply because I think that the Democratic party is entitled to the chairmanship of our commission,” said Senator Allison to the correspondent, “While it is probably true that Mr. Cleveland does not hold views upen the silver question which are especially different from those of President Harrison, and while it is also true that the commissioners selected by President Harrison were named with regard to familiarity with the subject and not on political lines, it is due to Mr. Cleveland that the head of our commissioners should be a man in sympathy with him, politically and otherwise. I shall not go back to Brussels under any circumstances.” “Do you believe the repeal of the Sherman law requiring the monthly purchase of 4,500,000 ounces of bullion would help to precipitate action at the hands of the International conference?” “Yes, I believe it would actually precipitate final action, and probably such as we are trying to get. But I do not believe Congress will repeal the law.. The House would have to take the initiative. It is not likely that it would do so under present conditions, when a large majority is pledged to free silver, or what approximates free silver. Then a free-for-all discussion of the proposition to repeal the law might create an impression upon the mind of Euiope that would be to our advantage, in that it would show the division of the sentiment existing in this country. If we could take up the bill to repeal the Sherman law and push it through without debate tt would no doubt have the desired result. Europe would see that we were not inclined to bull the silver market. Now she is more or less indifferent, and yet I believe we will succeed in reaching an agreement. All European nations agree with us that something must be done upon the silver question. It cannot run along as at present. We will ultimately suffer from it.”

ROBBERS’ PLUNDER FOUND.

The Police of Erie Make an Important Discovery. Erie, Pa., special: The only development to-day in the car robbery cases was the finding of forty yards of Brussels carpet and a quantity of silverware hammered out of its original shape and ready for melting. An Important arrest at Buffalo by the detectives engaged on the case was that of Mrs. Rose Moore, on the charge of receiving stolen goods and harboring members of the car-rob-bing gangs. Her disappearance from Erie Christmas eve was simultaneous with that of “Bull” Trainor, Frank Kupps, “Lawrence” Red, and “Scranton” Red, all wanted as principals. Detectives have followed them East and their early arrest is probable. John Morrison, well known as a ball-player, was also arrested, making three of the profession involved. Twenty-two arrests have been made up to date and upward of sixty search warrants executed.

MAY EXPLAIN HUGE THEFTS.

Arrest of the Heaths at Kansas City for Depredations on the Ranges. Two arrests made at Kansas City, Mo., are expected to clear up the mystery of huge cattle thefts in the Creek Nation. W. M. Heath and his son, G. W. Heath, were arrested on a warrant charging them with stealing thirty-one head of cattle from the range near Checotah and shipping them there. Last week Deputy United States Marshal Grant Johnson, of Eufaula, I. T., arrived with a United States warrant sworn out by T. W. Turk, a well-known ranchman, and says that eight other arrests are to follow. Turk says that the Heaths have been at the head of the gang which had engaged in running cattle off the ranges

A Natural Luxury.

An Eastern man, while traveling in the Northwest, stopped for a time with a family in North Dakota. It was in July, and clear, cold water—a luxury he did not often find—was most acceptable. The water on the table was so sweet and so very cold that he was led to remark on its excellence. “Yes, our well has always satisfied us, and we think we have a good thing when we can draw ice water in midsummer. We will show you our refrigerator after dinner.” After dinner out they went, and the New England man was asked to look down. It was a round small trick shaft, much like the old wells seen hereabouts, and went down to an extraordinary depth. But there was a beautiful sight at the bottom. It was, sure enough, a natural ice-watei tank. Pieces of clear ice floated in the water, and a close look showed a thick coating of ice all around the sides for quite a distance above it. The explanation was simple enough. When the bucket is drawn up a little of the water always falls or drips, and often strikes the sides of the well as it falls. In the winter—and Dakota winters are cold—this watei at once freezes, and soon the entire length of the shaft is lined with ice. This thickens at an increasing rate, and it is frequently necessary to cut it away with an ax to make room in which the bucket can slide up and down. In the spring this begins to aelfc, and the ice falls to the bottom The farther down, the slower is the process of melting.

KANSAS OFFICERS SEATED.

An Immense Gathering of Populists at the State Capital. Topeka (Kan.) special: The People’s party State officers were inaugurated to-day, and for the first time in its history the State Capitol is out of the control of the Republicans. The inauguration ceremonies brought the largest gathering that has ever attended an occasion of the kind. Delegations of farmers from all over the State came to see the “Farmers’ Governor" inaugurated, and all the notables of the reform movement, including Mrs. Lease, Jerry Simpson, Judge Doster, John F. .Wlllets, and A. J. Streeter, of Illinois, occupied seats on the platform and participated in the exercises. The inauguration ceremonies began in Representative Hall at exactly noon. The hall has been crowded many times, but never was it filled with such an enormous throng. The assemblage, which was mostly composed of Populists, was intensely enthusiastic. The hall had been gorgeously decorated for the occasion. John W. Breidenthal, Chairman of the People’s party 3tate Committee, was the presiding officer and, calling the assemblage to order, he said: “Fel-low-citizens, we are assembled on this occasion to witness the first People’s party inauguration on earth.” This statement was greeted with tremendous applause. After a few words he introduced Rev. W. G. Todd, who offered prayer, at the conclusion of which Chairman Breidenthal introduced Gov. Lyman U. Humphrey, who made a brief speech, expressing the hope that the State would be blessed with the same prosperity under the new party that had been given to it under the Republicans.
