position to ffo thoroughly into the matter and to giro theraselyes np to it nntil every Elan promising international concert has een examined an fond. The special correspondent of the Mancheater Guardian, who is in intimate touch 'With some of the leading delegates, telegraphs that the conduct tf the British delegates surprises the other European representatives. The Americans ask why tbey were brought across the Atlantic if such a policy, aiming at the failure oi the conference, is to be pursued. The correspondent adds that all eyes are turned upon the American delegation, which is a remarkably impressive one. Seuator Allison has tho highest repute among the members of the conference. Senator Jones is a man of extraordinary force o! character and rare ability, lie has decidedly impressed tho correspondent witn his single-raindedness in the matter. Were he to make a tonr of ling laud he would win a host of adherents to his cause. It is with a sense of confusion that the Englishmen listen to the remarks of the American delegateson the imperfect knowledge of the rudiments of currency questions displayed by the English representatives. Thai President's Instruction. . Special to tL IudUaapohs Journal. Washington,-Nor. 25. The proceedings of the international monetary conference at Brussels are being watched with much interest from Washington. The reported attitude of England's representatives in this conference that of active efforts to defeat the accomplishment of any agreement has Leen received with some surprise in official circles. Previons dispatches had eansed the impression that the British commissioners would aid in bringing abont some practical result by tjje conference. in regard to the proposal yesterday offered by the American commissioners, it may be stated that they were not set out in detail in the instrnctions given to the commissioners by the President. These were brief, the President stating that he did not desire to cumber the commissioners with details as to their duties. Much was left to the judgment of the commissioners and to the developments of the conference itself. The commissioners were informed that the main purpose which the government sought to accomplish was the establishment of stable relations between gold and silver. It was stated that it was the opinion of the President, and ho believed of the people of the United States, Tvitb singular unanimity, that a full use of silver as money at a ratio to be fixed by an agreement between the great commercial nations of the world would very highly promote the prosperity of all the people of all' the countries, of tho world. For this reason, the instructions continued, the duty of the commissioners would be to secure, if possible, an agreement among the chief commercial cations of the world looking to international bimetallism that is, the unlimited coinage of gold snd silver in the money of full debt-paying power at a fixed ratio in coinage common to all the aggregate powers. The commissioners were further instructed that no arrangement would be acceptable to the people or satisfactory to tbe government of the United Mates which would, by any possibility, place this country on a silver basis while European countries maintained tbe single gold standard. THE PANAMA CANAL BUBBLE.

Trial of the Directors to Be Held In January Career of Arton, tho Brlbr. Paris. Xov. 25. The case of the government against the Panama Canal Company was called in tbe Court of Appeal to-day. The defendants are M. Ferdinand de Lesseps, chairman of the board of directors: M. Charles de Lesseps, Lis son, vice-chairman; M. Marina Fontanes and Baron Cotta, directors of the company, and M. Eiffel, the well-known oontraotor. None of the defendants was present. Tbe case was adjourned nntil Jan. 10, counsel for the defendants guaranteeing that they would then appear. The president of the Court of Appeal reserved his decision on the question of whether he wonld enforce the presence of 31. Ferdinand de Lesseps. The charges that appear in the indictment, which is a very voluminous document, are breach of trust and malversation of funds. It will be remembered that, during the debate in the Chamber of Deputies last Monday, M. De la Haye named M. Arton as tbe person who did the bribing, and that it was partly due to his disclosures that proceedings were begun against the canal officials. M. Arton or, to give bis real name, Aaron was but a fow months ao cutting a wide swath in certamiroles in Parisian finance and Bohemia. In June last he tied from the gay capital to escape punishment for embezzlement of a large sum from a dynamite manufacturing company, of which he was a director. Arton, alias Aaron, made his appearance in Paris, notody knows whence, as a young man, ana soon become known by his extravagance. His debut in Parisian life was celebrated ty a succession of letesor orgies which ruined him at the very outset. With no money in bis pocket Paris was no place lor him. so he left the asphalt of the boulevard for Argeutiua. whence he returned, six years later, with a fortmm made nobody knows how. Immediately upon his return he indulged in a little bit of horn or, which he took the trouble to see chronicled by the historians of tbe boulevard, and l'arii knew him once more. And this is how he did it lie went to lunch in one of the fashionable cabarets of the boulevard, and when his bill was presented to him indulged in the luxury of getting into a heated argument with the propiietor of the establishment on the pretense that his bill was incorrect. Ho had not been cbarged autliciontiy by the modest amount of 2,000 or 8,(X0 francs, he said, which snni he insisted upon paying. He himself hugely enioyed the joke, explaining that he was in debt for the amount when, six years previously, he had left fc; smooth Amerioa. bo did the proprietor enjoy it iu the end, unaccustomed as he was to ee customers come back from tbe new world after a lapse of several years and insist on wiping oil their slate." lint Arton had not come to Paris for f nn alone, but for business. He was not in holy odor among his Jewish coreligionists, and so he changed his religion and his name. Aaron became Arton and be took out a certificate of baptism as a passport into Christian society. Still, unlike most 'verts, he did not shine as an austere Christian, but he showed his activity in sundry banking transactions which were to benefit the Catholic part v and ultimately and especially himself. He became one of tbe founders of a Catholic banking institution, which, it was whispered, cost the Pope some loss of money, but this did not prevent M. Arton being created a count by the Vatican. Next he appears as an intimate of M. Parte, and through biui attains the position of managing director of tbe Society de Ja Dynamite. While holding this position be induced one of tbe co-directors. M. Le Guay. to issue a large quantity of negotiable paper. This operation ended in what the French call a krach. Two gigantio speculative operations and Arton'a euorxnous pereonai expenses swallowed op tbe companv'a assets. M. Arton. be it said. Hew bis kite pretty high, indulged in several extravagantly expensive liaisons, and was want to give to the Monde ae la (Jalanterie fetes that were snmntuous. and one of the.se, which took: the shape of . ball at the Hotel Continental, has left agreeable memories in tbe mode on Von s'amuse. His otlice was on Kez-de-chaussee of 3 Kue Kouget de Lisle, but he was seldom to bo found there. He was more likely to be met within a little hotel of his own. in the Kue They, where a perpetual fete was going on. The nabob, not tbe financier, was in evidence tl re. His household expenses were rated at $10,000 francs a mouth, a pretty handsome figure for a bachelor. Moreover, he was more than liberal with his presents. Did a certain lady lose some valuable jewels at the opera be hastened to replace them; so quickly. Indeed, that he did not watt lonfc enough for the artiele to be found and returned to tho owner. Did another lady wish to give a feet to her bonnes amies, a ball was given to gratify her caprice at the Hotel Continental, when Arton, disguised as Jupiter, tossed 0,000 francs into tbe lap of the "person" who was appropriately costumed as Dan;1, and, like her, wooed with a shower of gold. Did this Dano of the gutter clamor for a subut ban Til!, she at once was tendered tbe most Coquettish little house on the pretty slopes, at the foot of whieb meanders the Seine. Of course, Arton never missed a theatrical premiere. He capped the climax on oue occasion, when he took a special train, in which be traveled for a fortnight throughcat France, personally inviting people to

one of his fetes and promising them more tbau Scotch hospitality. There wan a sudden end to all this. One fine day last June, at a rehearsal in some theater or the other, he whispered to a friend that "people having any sense should now get rid of tbeir dynamite shares." Then betook his lunch at Vollir's. csntaway his coupe, walked Lome, went to his club, where he won 1,000 francs, enough to get out of the country with, and disappeared, dressed as ever, in an irongray suit of tweed, and. as ever, taking his revolver with him. Arton is now walking the streets of Paris, his head as nigh as ever. GUNEHAL FOIIEIGN NEWS.

IroTlInns of Measure Intended to Restrict Emigration from the Fatherland. ItaitLiv, Nov. 5. A bill to regulate and to a certain degree to restrict emigration has been laid before the Peichstag. According to its provisions persons proposing to emigrate ninst give notice to the police, who will advertise he matter, so that all those having obligations still due them or private persons may be compelled to discharge the same before leaving. If no protest he raised against a person's departure he will receive a certificate, which will enable him to embark unhindered. A person trying to emigrate without such a certificate will be liable to a tine of 150 marks or imprisonment, German consuls will for the fntnre be required to aid in the compilation of tbe emigration statistics, and it is also proposed to establish a special emigration department in the Foreign Olhce. where information will be collected and advice given to intending emigrants. The latter, however, will only be allowed to leave the country from German harbors, and the emigration agents are to be restricted to tbe employment of the German shipping companies whose headquarters are in German ports for the transport of emigrants. , Kljrhty Soldiers Hurled In a Temple.

HOI GROYER WAS ELECTED

Conclusions of Republicans After Investigating the Recent Defeat. It Wag a Tnaneuhr Conflict Between the Manufacturer, Laborer and Farmer, in Which Democrats Hayed Many Tricks. Tbe Homestead Trouble and Low Wheat the Weapons Used by the Enemy. Indifference of Voters Under Prosperity Also Played Its Fart Democracy Probably Eolhed in Ohio by Mistakes of Yoters. CAUSES OF DEFEAT. Republicans Discuss the Matter an'. Arrive at Conclusions Tricked by Democracy. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Nov. 25. It was a triangular conflict between tbe interests of tbe manufacturer, laborer and farmer.' Tbis is tbe conclusion of tbe bigbest and ablest men connected with tbe present administration in tbeir searches for tbe causes which led to the recent Republican defeat. Never was a presidential election fraught with so many surprises, and never were tbe leaders upon all sides so utterly at sea as to the real reasons why the voters made such unusual changes in tbeir political positions. There has been a thorough discussion, in private conversations, as to what led up to the defeat at the polls, .and the held has been canvassed by the President, members of bis Cabinet and the leaders of the party in Congress. There has been an honest desire noon the part of the Republicans to get at the root of the tronble which brought about tbe upheaval, so that, if the fault rested with their party, they might rectify tbe fault, while tbe Democrats havo hoped to locate their yantage-pojnt and bold it. It is the belief of tbe wisest and bestinformed Republicans in Washington that the universal prosperity which exists now and which was to emphatic on election day. is responsible for tbe chance in political sentiment. Had there been less contentment and, therefore, less iudittt-reuce as to what beoame of tbe work on election day, the result would have been d inherent. It was found, too, thatin-many sections of tbe country there was discontent upon the part of laborers and mechanics, growing out of iguorance aa to true economio conditions. Labor agitators bad been employed by tbe Democrats to sow seed of discontent, and well tbey performed their duties. They made tho laborers and mechanics 1 believe, as much as they could, that the present taritl law was for the bene tit of the manufacturer and farmer; that the exporters only profited by it, and all ithe advantage the laborer had he secured through his labor unions; that tbe laborer and me-, ehanio paid higher prices for what they bought, and got nothing extra by virtue of toe tariff law lor his work. It was a case of representing to the laborer that be could eat the cherry, and at the same time save it. In many instances be believed that the manufacturer only grew richer by the protective taritf. and in doing ko he became more grinding, in connection with tbe labor question it is found that the Democrats played smart tricks in many parts of the country. It will be recalled that wben Governor MoKinley was running for re-election to Congress in his Ohio district, two years ago, his Democratic competitor hired peddlers to travel over the district two weeks before election and oiler for sale tinware. The prices they asked were two or threo times more than tbe ware could have been bought at iu the market. Wben tbe farmers remonstrated against the prices and refused to buy the peddlers explained tbat it waa owlug to tbe new McKinley tanrl law. which was going to make tinware and evety thing else several times hieher in price, and would actually make larm produce lower. The trick bad its effect. It prejudiced the farmer against tbe author of the tariff law and defeated him lor re-election. - , ' About a month before the recent election labor agitators, representing themselves to be from Homestead, Pittsburg,. Youngstown and other places, appeared in various cities in the States of Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, New York and elsewhere, and solicited contribntions for the Homestead strikers. Their solicitations were largely made behind the doors of the lodge, and in their talks for "assistance" they painted pictures of how Carneitle & Co., who were protected by a Republican tariff, had ground the laborer down to a pulp, and they pictured bow the present tariff was for tbe rich and against the poor. The effect was potential, it turned Republicans into Democrats. The trick seems not to have been realized at the time by Republicans. Then, agaiu, there can be no doubt that Carnegie and Friok "bad it in" for the Republicans because tho latter had not put up, instead of down, the duties upon Carnegie manufactures in the preparation of the tariff bill. The. Homestead strike was precipitated at a time and conducted in a way to most injure the Republican party. Since tbe election, after tbe changes have not been made which gave victory to the mills, the strike has been declared at an end. Mr. Frick. who bad always stood at borne and voted as a Democrat, plastered the country with telegrams and letters representing himself to be a Republican, saying he had always been a Republican, etc. He did nothing but assist in bringing about Republican defeat. Republicans here say it was a whip-saw against thorn; it was in the very conditions for the Democrats to gain votes upon the two sides of every question. The price of wheat was very low, because Europe had a large crop. The , farmer was compelled to pay high wages for farm labor, becanse the new tariff law had sostimulated manufacturing that the laborers all wanted to go to the factory. The farmer could not see how it was that a law could favor him wben it permitted tbe price of wheat to be G5 or 70 cents, and he was compelled to pay $1.5) a cay for farm hands. And yet the laborer believed the tariff law compelled him to pay wore for bis food and clothing, and gave the credit for his high wagss to his labor onions. And still, on the pur contra side, the manufacturer saw his mechanics and laborers, many of whom made from $4tto $15 a day, growing? rich, while an overproduction in his line made low prices for bis products. He said be didn't care for a law or a party which tnrned over the profits of his basin to the laborer, while be got nothing, and at tbe same time fostered labor anions which dictated how he shonld run bin factory, what prices he should pay for labor, and when and how he shonld run his business. Altogether there is not in the conclusions of the thinkers of the party here anything whieb would tend to weaken faith in the efficacy of the- Republican principles of tariff protection. On the contrary it has received strength. p. s. n. THE PERPLEXING II ALLOT LAW. It Unw Looks as If Cleveland Wonld Have Carried Ohio but for Errors ef Voter r. Cleveland, O., Nov. 23. It now appears as though Ohio may hare intended to have gone log Grover Cleveland by a slight margin. To-night the State statisticians, in Colnmbne, completed tbeir election count upon individual presidential electors. It shows that Lorenzo D. Vickers, the. Republican elector for tho Kleventh district, is defeated by J amen P. Seward, vr base narue appears first on tbe list nf Democratic electors. Seward received -404,115 votes and Vickrrs 4G2.iW. It 1 thought the reason why Seward obtained so many more votes than bis Democratic fellow-electors lies in the Australian plan of balloting in us In Ohio. To vote a straight Democratio ticket under this plan, formerly, it was necessary only to place a cross opposite the name "Democratic ticket," at the head of tho l'st of candidates. This year

owing to the tendency of votcra to drop down one line in their marking and designate tbe name of tbe first candidate, thus erroneously voting only for him, the law was amended to direct that the crosses for atraieht tickets must be placed in circles printed for that purpose at the top of the ballots. It was feared from the first that many would neglect to comply with the new regulation, and would place tbeir marks on the side of the ticket at tbe top. thinking to vote it straight Seward's election is taken as evidence that tbis error was made by many voters in Ohio. It is argued that the cross was placed beside his name by many whosupnosed tbat thereby tbey were voting the straight Democratic ticket, whereas they were voting only for him. If this be the fact, but it can never be proved, however, enongb voters in Ohio desired to vote for Grover Cleveland to carry the State by the plurality tbat Seward got. - The abstracts of five counties bas been smt back for correction, and it is possible tbat tbey may imperial two other Republican electors L. M. Stark, of tbe Twentieth district. andLuther Allen of tbe Twenty-first, whose margin of plurality is slight. Democrats Will Try to Steal a Senatorshlp. Omaha, Nov. 25. It Is stated tbat steps have been taken by the Demooratio State central committee to prevent tbe Republicans controlling the Legislature on joint ballot, and thus return a Republican United States Senator. Evidence has been submitted by the various members, it is alleged, to indicate an organized effort on the part of the Republican State central committee to control a sufficient number of seats in the House and Senate to make their senatorial choice certain of success. The Legislature stands: Senate Democrats, 5; Republicans, 14; Independents, 14. House Democrats. 7; Republicans, 4l; Independents, 44. On joint ballot the Republicans require rive to elect. Contests bave been commenced to seat Republicans enough to elect & United States Senator. North Dakota for Harrison. Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 25. Tbe Harrison electors in North Dakota are probably chosen. Complete returns from twentyeight out of the thirty-nine counties give the Weaver electors 240 majority, but seven of tbe counties yet to hear from are surely for Harrison. The official count may bo required to settle the matter.

DOBLE AFTEJl PONXEO $5,000. IIo Thinks Nancy Hanks Fairly Won ItTwo Minutes May He the Record. New York, Nov. 25. Dudd Doble, the famous trainer and driver of Dexter. Flora Temple, Nanoy lianks and other recordbreakers, has come to New York from Chicago. His arrival has caused some gossip amoug the trotting-borse men as to the objeotofhis visit. In regard to the offer made by Mr. Robert Ilonner to tbe driver who would beat Maud S.'s time he said: "Tbe fact is that wben I Wired Mr. Bonner from Terre Haute that Nancy Hanks had trotted in 2:04 I thought I had won $5,000. I was perfectly familiar with the conditions nnder which the money was to be paid. too. I bave a copy of the conditions, wbich were that the time was to be made over a track such as the Cleveland or Buffalo tracks. The Cleveland and Buffalo tracks, while thev diHersotiidwhat in shape from the track at Terre Haute, bave tbe same distance in the turns. I consider that 1 fairly earned that 5.0C0. I don't suppose Mr. Bonner cares for the mouey, but in tbe cases where his horses have been beaten before he died awfully hard." Speaking of the possibility of Maud S. beating the record of Nancy Hanks. Mr. Doble said be did not think she wonld. though it was possible. He had no fear tbat any of .Mr. Bonner's horses wonld lower tbe trotting record. Maud S. and Sunol were both good animals, but tbe former had been out of form so long Le donbted ber ability to get back again, lie believed the trottingajecord would soon be lowered to two minutes, possibly within the next season. As to tbe pneumatiotired sulky, he believed too much importance had been attached to it. If Dexter or Flora Teruple eould have had the benefit of modern shoeing, modern tracks and modern harness, they would .have made much faster time. "There bas been some talk among outsiders7 he said, "that I came on here to arrange a race between Nancy Henks and Maud s. Tbat is nonsense, Mr. Bonner has declared again and again that be would never allow his horses to trot a match." Mr. Dooie's opinion tbat he has fairly won the $5,C00 ottered by Robert Bonner, wben Doble drove Nancy Hanks a mile in faster time than Maud S. has ever made, seems to be concurred in by sporting men. Mr. Bonner, however, holds to his original decision, that the fast mile was not made nnder the proper conditions. Mr. Bonner says: "Doble bas no claim at all. In the published correspondence 1 stated I would give ?5,0; 0 to tbe owner of any horse which trotted a mile iu 2:0". There was not any contract. I said 1 would give the amount if the time was made on any of the grand circuit tracks, from Cleveland to Hartford. I was careful to mention the grand circuit, because the soil in some States makes marvelous tracKs. One of the conditions was tbat the performance must be made with the old regulation sulkies." "Then yon will not give Doblo the S5,000." "No, sir; because he has no right' to it Mr. Forbes has stated that he was not entitled to tbe money because he did not live op to the conditions. I do not want any controversy with Doble. Tbe man who rubbed down Nanoy Hanks has just as sood a right to the money as Doble, but nobody has won it. As a matter of fact, he is insulting Mr. Forbes by claiming tbe $0,000." XaatiTille Wltirtor. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 25. About eight hundred people attended the races at Westside Faric to-day. The weather was cold and raw, but business in' the betting-ring was lively. The track was fast, but only two favorites won. To-morrow's races close the meetings. To-day's winners were Whit tier.

mYPORT PALACE BURNED Cornelins Yanderbilt's Samraer Home, "The BreakerF," Destroyed by Fire, ill IU Contents, Worth Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars, Eaten Up by the Fhmcs Not Even Wearing Apparel Saved. Special to the Indianapolis JonrnaL Newport, R. L,Nov. 25. The "Breakers," the elegant and costly summer residence of Cornelius Vanderbilt, is to-night a smoldering mass of ruins. Blackened and crumbling walls of brick and heaps of ashes are all tbat now remain of the palatial villa wnich xor years has been numbered among Newport's largest and finest residences. Tbe fire also destroyed all of the valuable contents of the villa, including furniture, bric-a-brac, wearing apparel and various costly articles of every description. The fire was discovered by Mr. Vanderbilt about 4:30 P. M.. the smokebemg in tbe main hall. Within two hours the building and contents were destroyed. Tho residence was located nearly a mile from the nearest fire-station. Before the apparatus could reaoh the sceno the fire was far beyond control, and all tbat could be done was to stay rather than check the work of destruction. Tbe house was built abont a dozen or fifteen years ago for P. Lorrillard, of New Vork,.and was purchased, with the extensive grounds, by Mr. Vanderbilt in More than $100,000 was expended in additions and improvements to the building, tbe value of wbich waa estimated at more than half that sum at the time of tbe sale. Tbe character of tbe furniture and decorations may be judged from the fact tbat in a single hall were hung tapestries estimated to be worth $5.)0.0tX)or more. Members of the family and servants alike lost all their clothing in the general destrnction.
