ANOTHER SLICE OF SIM

GIVES TO FRANCE DY THE RULER OP TUB LITTLE KINGDOM. Cecil Rhodes African Schemes Ex plained by Himself The AngloRussian Pact Excited Italians. PARIS, May 2. 5am, according: to a dispatch from Singapore, has ceded to France the province of Luang-Prabang, in the northeastern part of the kingdom. France, in return, undertakes to evacuate the town of Chantaboon, about 173 miles west of Bangkok, near the gulf of Slam, and to withdraw from the so-called neutral zone. The boundary between Burmah and northwest Slam was delimited in 1S31 by a commission, and by the treaty of September, 1S53, the River Mekong was constituted the boundary between Slam and the French possessions. By the terms of the latter agreement France was at liberty to erect stations on a twenty-flve-kilometer strip on the west side of the river. The total area, including the country between the Mekong and the Annam hills, already acknowledged to belong to France, is estimated at about 300,00) square miles, of which France has appropriated, on one pretext or another, more than 110,000 square miles, and the transmekong portion of the province, or state, of Luang-Prabang, has for some time been under French protection. SPEECH BV RHODES. The Great Promoter Explains Ills Various African Schemes. LONDON, May 2. An enormous crowd of people gathered in the vicinity of the Canon City Hotel here to-day to hear Cecil Rhodcs's address before the meeting of the chartered British South African Company. The people began gathering as early as 8 o'clock in the morning outside the hall, and thousands were refused admission. When Mr. Rhodes arrived at noon he was greeted with tremendous cheers. The Duke of Abercorn, president of the company, occupied the chair and was supported by Earl Grey and Lord Gifford. vice presidents of the company, and other directors. Mr. Rhodes, addressing the meeting of 2,000 persons, took an optimistic view of the pastoral and mineral future of Rhodesia, Referring to his recent visit to Berlin, Mr. Rhodes said that the agreement for carrying the telegraph lines through German territory was effected through the kindness of Emperor William, who, whatever might have been his feeling respecting certain little incidents which had resulted very unsatisfactorily to Mr. Rhode?, was still a broadminded man. Cheers. The Emperor met his proposition with an admirable breadth of mind, and offered him every means for carrying cut his plans. The conduct of European countries, ordinarily, Mr. Rhodes said, was to levy blackmail wherever it was possible. The German Emperor, however, charged nothing for the concession except the cost of the maintenance ot the line. Dealing with his failure to come to an agreement with the government of Great Britain respecting the proposed guarantee for the projected Cape to Cairo Railway, Mr. Rhodes said that tne directors proposed to raise 3,000,000 ($15,000,000) by the issue of bonds bearing 4 per cent, interest, and with this money to build the remaining 750 miles northward. The millionaire, Alfred Belt, had offered to take 500,000 if Mr. Rhodes took 200.000. The government had failed the company in this matter, but tho commercial instincts of the city had carried them through. Cheers. The loan scheme proposed by Mr. Rhodes was approved by the meeting on a show of hand?. Mr. Rhodes referred to the fact that tender for the construction of 250 miles of Rhodeslan railways had been made from America, and added: "I found by far the lowest tender was an American firm. Carnegie's bid, fortunately, was not in order, and to we were able to give it to our own feople." This statement was greeted with oud cheers. ITALY'S CHIXESE POLICY. Admiral Canevaro Causes a Sensation In the Deputies. ROME. May 2. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day there was another prolonged and animated discussion regarding the government's foreign policy, growing out of various interpellations. The debate was again adjourned until to-morrow, when the government will make a statement covering all the questions raised. In the course of the discussion Admiral Canevaro, minister for foreign affairs, created a lively sensation by producing, in response to the attacks upon his policy at San-Mun Bay, China, an official letter signed by Count Bonln Longare, under secretary of state for foreign affairs, in the Cabinet of Marquis dl Rudinl, addressed to the then minister of marine, Signor Brin, requesting the latter to initiate some action that would secure for Italy a station in China. The production of the letter demonstrated that the leaders of tho present opposition really initiated tho policy they are now criticising. Admiral Canevaro's action In making public a secret document evoked sharp comment from Marquis di Rudinl, Signor Crispl, former premier, and other leading members of the Chamber. Finally General Peilieux, the premier, aked that the debate be adjourned, and the house rose amid considerable excitement. Tho Cabinet will meet to-morrow morning and it is rumored that General Peilieux will tender the resignation of the ministry to King Humbert. General Peilieux went to the Quirinal this evening and reported the situation to King Humbert. The scene in the Chamber when Signor Crispi reproved Admiral Canevero for divulging state documents, was very striking. "We are giving with light hearts," said Signor Crispi, a sorry spectacle to Kurope. Ask the Chamber to cease this discussion." The deputies treated Signor Crispi with extraordinary deference, several rising and exclamlng, "He is our only man." As three-fourths of the deputies are likely to vote against the government, it Is believed that General Peilieux has decided to repeat a strategem often employed by Marquis di Itudlni and to resign forthwith. In which case King Humbert will probably invite him to reconstruct the Cabinet. AX EXILE'S VIEWS. Mr. Fnlttser Thinks Bryan Mast Drop Free Silver to Get Support. LONDON, May 2. The Daily News to-day devotes a column to an interview with Joseph Pulitzer, editor of the New York World, chiefly devoted to a comparison of the methods of American and English Journalism. Touching upon politics, Mr. Pulitzer is quoted as having said: "It seems to be assured that Mr. Bryan wjll again have the Democratic nomination for the presidency next year." "Will he be supported by a united raty?" asked the reporter. "That." Mr. Pulitzer rejoined, "all depends upon his good sense or folly. If he again puts the free silver issue to the fore and fights on it. many in the rrty will stand aloof; but if he is content to let free sliver sink to the background and fight the battle on the great questions of expansion or anti-expansion and anti-monopoly or trusts, then he will receive wide support. Not only will he have the united Democratic party behind him but he will also be supported by the vast hosts of moderate people who have been alienated by the new departure from our constitutional government, which the present Imperialist policy meana." AXGLO-Ill'SSIA AGREKMEVT. Ambassador "White Thinks It a Good Thins for Doth Nations. BERLIN, May 2. The correspondent here cf the Associated Press was granted an interview to-day with the United States ambassador to Germany, Mr. Andrew D. White. In reply to a question as to what, in the light of the knowledge he acquired in his former position as United States minister to Russia, he thought of the AngloRus5lan agreement regarding spheres of influence in China. Mr. White said that it seemed to him admirable from every point ct view, becaua the peaceiul occupation of

the two territories in China would be to the advantage of the whole world by promoting peace in the Pacific, with a consequent growth of Industry and commerce. An important feature of the agreement. Mr. White said, is that it gives peace to 120.000,000 of Russians for the first time in history, a port on the Pacific ocean that is open the year round and which, in their own interest and that of all powers on the Pacific seaboard, including the United States, they ought to have. Moreover, Mr. White said the peaceful adjustment of this question will hasten the development of an enormous transpacific commerce in which the United States will have a full -share and this, of course, means a vastly increased growth of very many American industries. Mr. Whl concluded by saying that when he was Russia, he knew, and had official dealings with M. Dewltte. the Russian minister of finance, who was then, by far, the strongest man in the Russian ministry, and his handling of financial questions might well be studied by American statesmen.

DnEYFXS CASE REVISION. Vote of Judsrew of the Court of Cassation Will De Close. LONDON, May 3. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post says: "I am informed by a magistrate that as a result of an Informal discussion by the Judges of the Court of Cassation it has been ascertained that the court is so evenly divided that probably there will be under the least favorable conditions only a majority of two against Dreyfus revision, but as it is certain that there will be absences owing to Illness and other causes the final decision will be swayed by President Ballot de Beaupre, who is believed to favor a retrial by court-martial. PARIS, May 3. In the Chamber of Deputies to-diy a number of interpellations were introduced in the Dreyfus revelations. The premier, M. Dupuy, moved that they be adjourned until after the Court of Cassation shall have pronounced judgment on the matter. The motion was adopted. This morning the Figaro, replying to a statement by the Temps which denied the accuracy of the Figaro's publication yesterday of the depositions of Lieut. Col. Du Paty de Clam, maintains the correctness of its report and gives further details. It says that when Du Paty de Clam testified that his report regarding the secret dossier was sent to General Mercler, M. Maneau, the public prosecutor, rose greatly excited and intimated that he would take steps to get the minister of war, M. De Freyclnet, to demand from Mercier the production of this report, and that the court granted Maneau tho necessary authority. The Figaro adds: "We will not pretend to give a verbatim report of the depositions. The Court of Cassation gets the impression that Lieut. CqI. Du Paty de Clam was not telling the whole truth, but only sufficient to defend himself without unnecessarily implicating his superiors. Perhaps our report emphasized this impression, but we maintain that it was more accurate than the process Verbal ot the depositions, which had been revised and altered by Du Paty de Clara before they were printed." INEBRIOUS ENGLISH WOMEN, Lady Somerset Coudemns the Drink Habit In tbe "Land of Barmaids. LONDON, May 2.The alarming increase of the drinking habit among English women is causing serious consideration among temperance workers. In an interview on the subject Lady Henry Somerset said to-day: There can be no doubt that the great problem is presenting itself to the temperance people of this country of how to arrest the great increase of Inebriety among women, it is a lamentabJe fact that in this country a woman is especially associated with the sale of intoxicants. This country is, par excellence, tne land of barmaids. That they are to be found behind the bar of every drinkshop has caused the safeguards that surround them in other cour tries to be set aside. As a nation we stand in the unenviable position of being almost the only one that has drunken womanhood. The question for us to decide Is not only how to stem the growing evil, but also how to deal with those who have fallen and are falling every day' Rrltlsh 31. P. Alarmed. LONDON, May 2. In the House of Commons to-day, during the debate of budget and the finance bill, Leonard Courtney, Unionist member for the Bedlin division cf Cornwall and former deputy speaker of the House, in a vigorous speech opposing the reduction of the sinking fund proposed by Sir Michael Hicks-Leach, chancellor of the exchequer, declared that Great Britain was now on the top wave of prosperity and should reduce her liabilities to the utmost possible. England, he said, now faced a graver danger than war in the existing industrial competition in coal and iron. Already the United States produced both cheaper than England and were able to compete with England in steeL How long, he asked, could England stand this? He declared the question was a very grave one. The House passed the bill to a second reading by 2b0 votes, against 165. Aliened Mfisage from Andree. COPENHAGEN, May 2.

NO INDICTMENTS FOUND

BUT BOOXE GRAND JURY SAYS COM3IISSIO.ERS ARE GUILTY. John A. Dnlln and James A. 31 c Lean May Get Off rlth Impeachment-Th lGlst Regiment Home To-Day. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LEBANON, Ind., May 2. The grand Jury has instituted impeachment proceedings against County Commissioners John A. Dulln and James A. McLean. The finding of the Jury is not in the nature of an indictment, but Is an accusation of unlawful allowances of bridge claims and irregularity in the conduct of official business, especially in the matter of passing the order for a new courthouse and letting the contract to Cincinnati architects to prepare plans and to supervise the construction of the courthouse. A separate accusation is made against Commissioner Dulln, it being alleged that he solicited a bribe from Dr. Norman O. Redden, the commissioner promising to use his vote and influence to secure for the doctor the poor practice for Worth township. In consideration of all these alleged facts, the grand Jury, in Its report, says that Commissioners Dulln and McLean should be removed from office. The accusations, in the form of copies of the Jury's report, were served on both of the commissioners and the prosecution of the cases is placed in the hands of the prosecuting attorney. In its general report on the investigation of county offices, it is shown that it appears from the evidence and the records in the county auditor's office that it has been the custom of the various boards of County Commissioners to allow orders for the payment of bridges without first causing a survey and estimate for the same to be made, as required by law. In many there is no record to show the building or repair of bridges, except the warrant or order for the payment, and this, custom was followed by Commissioners McLean and Dulln. The grand Jury, in its report, also recommends the appointment of experts to examine the records in the recorder's office during the term of J. M. Dye, who was succeeded after the last election by J. A. White, 161ST ARRIVES TO-DAY. Rnshvllle Prepared to Give Company II a Great Welcome. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RUSHVILLE. Ind..

On Monday he was seized with an alarming attack, which grew continually worse until this afternoon. Henry B. Hyde was born In Cat skill. N. T., on Feb. 15, 1S31. He went to New York In 1S50, when he was sixteen years of age. He was employed by Merritt, Ely & Co., merchants of that city, for about two years, after which, in January, 1S32, he obtained a clerkship In the office of the Mutual Life Insurance Company, of New York. His attention was called to life insurance early in life. In addition to his knowledge of the business obtained from the Mutual Lif3, he acquired a great deal of useful and Interesting information on the subject from his father, Henry H. Hyde, of Boston, who was one of the most conspicuous and successful insurance men of his day.

LIFE INSURANCE RULING. Opinion of Importance to Holders of Policies In the Equitable. NEW YORK, May 2. The Appellate Court in Brooklyn to-day rendered a decision of interest to holders of life insurance policies. In the action of Greet! against the Equitable Life Assurance. Company suit was brought to recover a share of the entire surplus of the society. The charter of the company provides that each policy holder is to be credited with an equitable share of its surplus. The policy in question was a fifteen-year nontontlne endowment policy and contained provision that it was entitled to share in the surplus of the society according to such' principles and methods as should be adopted by the society for such distribution. The society claims that its policy holders axe only entitled to a share of such portion of its profits as the board of directors choose to set apart for the payment of dividends. The plaintin, on the other hand, claims that he is entitled to a share of the entire net surplus, which amounted to about J43.000.u00 on the 31st of December preceding the maturity of his policy, and the appellate division in an exhaustive opinion has sustained the plaintiff's contention. The company, which has 40),(KX) policy holders, will now take the case to the Court of Appeals, when, if the decision of the appellate division is sustained, each policy holder will have the right to claim a share in the company surplus in proportion to the amount of his policy and premiums paid by him.
