He “till Demand No Explanation from France, and Will Ignore the Chau- vinists’ Insults—England and Italy to Help the Berlin Exhibit. PARIS, March 3.—At a. meeting of the friends of M. Deroulede last night, called for the purpose of congratulating. the people of France upon the outcome of the patriotic agitation and the French artists’ decision not to send works to the Berlin art exhibition, it was resolved to present silver medals to Cassagnac, Rochefort and others. At a ball which followed the meeting the ladies present pledged them~ selves never to dance with a German. At the conclusion of the ball M. Derou- lede recited a. military poem ending with the words, “Sonnez la charge. Nous les Vaincrons.” The charge was then sound- erl upon military bugles amid a. scene of the wildest enthusiasm. During the evening M. Laissant made a violent speech, ending with the words, “Down with allies of Germany.” William’s Policy. LONDON, March 3.-—The emperor has, it is stated in 3. Berlin dispatch, decided not to demand any explanation from France as to the treatment of his mother. He will ignore the insults of the Chauvinists, so far as official action is concerned, but con- tinue his change of policy in regard to Al- sace-Lorraine and French interests gen— erally. NO effort will be spared to make the Berlin art exhibition a success. The pa- triotism of Germany is appealed to, and the overwhelming ofiers already received leave no doubt that the German artists will be much more fully represented than they might have been had France not taken such a. hostile stand. Sweden, whose artists have of late been making their way to the front rank, northern art being quite a fashion just now in Paris, will testify its good will to Germany by some of its best productions. England and Italy ‘Vill Help. England is pledged to make the best dis- play possible, and both the pope and the king of Italy will do what they can to please the kaiser. The Austrian press or Lpresses warm sympathy with Germany, and undoubtedly reflects the sentiments of the Vienna artists. The Berlin artists openly charge that jealousy had as much to do with the course of the French as patriotism; that they were afraid of the growing claims of Berlin to take the lead of Paris as a center of art. Both the artists and the imperial government are therefore the more resolved to prove that the French jealousy is not without cause. ‘Vhat Ails Churchill? LONDON, March 3. — Lord Randolph Churchill seems very unhappy. He avoids the Prince of \Vales, whose admirer he used to be, and only seems anxious to get away from England. His trip to Egypt has not made his case any better, and now he proposes a prolonged plunge into Africa. His Paddington constituents don’t care, and the government will not obiect will start for Africa some time next month. He is either waiting for some- thing, nobody knows what, or is in indif- ferent health. Gladstone’s Latest. ~ LONDON, March 3.-—One of the literary curiosities of the day will be Mr. Glad- stone’s sketch of Lady Hamilton, the mis— tress of Lord Nelson. Mr. Gladstonegoes into the subject with a purely historical interest, and not with any purpose either to extenuate or exaggerate the conduct of the woman who attached the only stain to the fame of England’s great admiral. He has discovered a. lot of new data, it is said, and will soon lay them before the—public. Crispi May Return. ROME, March 3.—At the Vatican it is as- serted that Sieguor Crispi, late prime min- ister of Italy, ezpects to return to power, and that he has approached the Holey See with the view to persuade the papal au~ thorities not to accord concessions to the ministry of the Marquis di Rudini as the latter’s cabinet cannot lrst. Signor Cerispi is said to have insisted that the Pope ought not to allow Catholics to support the government at elections. Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo. LONDON, March 3.——There was great ex- citement at Monte Carlo on Saturday caused by the wonderful luck of a London visitor playing at trent et quarente. He won the maximum stakes fourteen times in succession, the whole winnings amountr ing to £7,000. The Englishman’s stroke of fortune temporarily broke the bank, and the croupiers, amid cheering, had to seek the cashier for a. fresh supply of funds. Norway and Sweden at It Now. CHRISTIANIA, March 3.—Mr. Steen, leader of the Left in the Storthing, has accepted King Oscar’s commission to form a cabi- net. Mr. Berners, who offered the resolu- tion which caused the overthrow of the old cabinet, declined to attempt the forma- tion of a ministry. Prince Lonis’ Inheritance. ROME, March 3—11; is stated that Prince Napoleon has made a. will disinheriting his son, Prince Victor, and indicating Prince Louis as the next emperor. Prince Napoleon is reported slightly better. He took some food Monday. - l’arnellites Get the Blame. DUBLIN, March 3.——The committee rooms of the McCarthyites at Kilrush were brok- en into last night, and several musical in- struments were stolen or destroyed. The Parnellites are blamed for the affair. , South American Notes. BUENOS AYRES, March 3.—The state of siege here continues. It is generallybe- lieved that the intervention of Gen. Mitre; ex-president of the republic, will lead to a settlement of the trouble which is agitat- ing the country. There is little confidence in thefinancial condition, and business is at a standstill. The news from Chili re— garding the revolution is generally mie trusted. Bishopi Paddock Rapidly Sinking. , BOSTON, March 3.—Bishop Paddock is re- ported to be rapidly sinking. For the past three days his strength has been steadily declining, the wonder being each day that life continues. , . to the absence of the candid friend. He twould have dislodged them. A JAIL DELIVERY NIPPED. A Present of Food to a Prisoner That Might Have Been the Cause of Mur- der and Escape but for the \Vatchfulness of Keepers. JERSEY CITY. March 3.——One day during the latter part of last week some good, kind friend brought to Richard Ferber- korn, who is confined in cell 32 iii the Hudson county jail, awaiting trial for rob- bery, along loaf of 17c bread particularly well made. When Ferberkorn opened the loaf he found quite a convenient little col- lection of tools. There were half a dozen fine saw blades and a. few tenpenny nails. Mr.‘ Ferberkorn is a. young man who knows the use of such articles very well, and he proceeded at once to work. During his walks in the corridor he had made friends with Johnnie Martin and Eddie Smith, who hailed from cell 3, and who had been sentenced to a small matter of seven years each as a punishment for breaking into the apartments of certain good citizens and carrying away anything which was portable. He had found them such good fellows that he gave them a couple of saw blades, and all three agreed to do the jail break- ing act at the same time. Three men can get away with an obnoxious keeper much better than one; but there are one or two very shrewd keepers over in the Hudson. county jail, and Jailer Charles Birdsall, who oversees the whole business, only sleeps when he is very tired. Wide Awake Keepers. Some of these wide awake keepers no-_ ticed that during the hours of exercise in the corridor Ferberkorn, Martin and Smith were very chummy, and they talked a great deal together. A quiet watch was kept upon them, and the suspicious of the keepers were reported to headquarters. The men in charge of the three prisoners were quite sure that some scheme was hatching, but they could discover nothing tangible. Between midnight of Saturday ‘and 1 o’clock Sunday morning the watch- man on the lower corridor, where cells 3 and 32 are located, noticed that the sus- pected trio were. not yet in bed, although they were undressed. He reported this to Head Keeper Bird- sall, who got up and ordered out a couple of additional guards, who were to watch from a distance the cells of the suspected ones. There are two places in the jail known as peepholes, fromeither of which a person can see the entire corridor with- out being seen. One of the peepholes is in the bathroom attached to the living apart- ments, the other is in a little room directly opposite. Birdsall spent the rest of that night in going from one peephole to an- other waiting for the grand break. The Loaf Told the Story. There was a good deal of subdued excite- ment among the jailers and keepers from that time on until morning, but the pris- oners were kept in complete ignorance as to the preparations which were making to receive them. In the morning, between 6 and 7 O’clock, Keeper Birdsall, without any warning, removed the three men to other cells and made a search of their old quarters. In Ferberkorn’s cell he found three of the small steel saw blades, ten- penny nails, the leaf of rye bread and a wrought iron bar which had once been a leg to the cot. It was easy enough to see through it all now, for the loaf of bread with the hole in it told the story. Half a dozen of the iron bars of the door had been sawed so that a slight wrench The cracks had been filled up by bits of rye bread, stained with ink. Over in Smith and Martin‘s cell two of the fine steel saws were found, and a small iron saw frame, made by the Davis T001 company, of Springfield, Mass. There was a heavy wooden chair leg in one of the cots. One of the iron bars in the door had been sawed nearly out. It is not known what the plans of the men were, but the presence of the wood and iron clubs makes it seem probable that they were ready to knock a couple of keepers down if necessary. Lava Bed Gang Graduates. 'Birdsall is under the impression that there were at least two others concerned in the plot, and the jail is now undergoing the most thorough kind of a search. Martin and Smith were sentenced last Thursday for robbing a number of saloon keepers in Jersey City. Both are well known characters, and are considered des- perate men. They are graduates of the lava. bed gang. . ‘ Ferberkorn is the New York thief who, with Robert James, of Weehawken, has made it a point to rob plumbing shops. The two worked principally in Hoboken and this city, and carted Off an enormous amount' of plunder before they were caught. Ferberkorn was caught at the Erie railroad ferry with a wagon load of metal he had taken from the store Of Ger- aghty & Sproul, at Brunswick and Third streets, this city. Flames in Indianapolis.

A Sensational Climax to a Roman Catho- lic Vesper Service. CHICAGO, March 3.7.1 net as the Rev. Fa- ther. Frederick, of St. Joseph’s church, Market and Hill streets, was bringing the vesper service to a. close Sunday night a tall, neatly dressed woman, with a pale face and peculiarly bright eyes, sprang to her feet and rushed down the aisle, tripped lightly up the steps to the altar, and fling- ing back from her shoulders a black shawl threw her arms around the priest’s neck, exclaiming, “My husband, my long lost husband!” For a. moment priest and con- gregation were struck dumb. Then Father Frederick, divining the situation, gently released himself from the woman’s embrace, and parishioners occu- pying front seats came 'to his assistance. She fought desperately when the men at tempted to remove her from the sanctu- ary, but was finally carried out and taken in a. patrol wagon to the detention hos- pital. The woman proved to be Mrs. White, who was recently released from the county insane asylum. Her husband is a cook in a‘ downtown restaurant. New York’s Census Squibble.
