PARIS. Jan. 9. There is a renewed anti-Briti6h campaign in the newspapers here, they being unanimously of the opinion that the publication of the Madagascar blue book by the British Foreign Office was premature and an intentional provocation. The Temps thinks papers show "an intention on the part of the leading statesmen of England to render yet more serious the differences which have disturbed the relations between the two countries." The Figaro believes that this blue book will shortly be followed by another from Colonial Secretary Chamberlain cn the French shore (Newfoundland) question.

RUPP'S VALET THE MAN WHO ESCAPEHITE, The Police Commissioner Received Unexpected Reply to a Question. THREW AWAY HIS CLUB Trial of Patrolman White Bafora Police Board Brought Oat Soma Rather Interesting Statementa. Patrolman Edward M. White of the Pearl Street Police Station, charged with neglect of duty in allowing a prisoner to escape, tried hard to avoid telling Police Commissioner Kupp a disagreeable fact wnile his" trial was in progress at Headquarters today. Sergt Simon said White had arrested two men for disorderly conduct, one of them named John Towse.

A man in the employ of the Water Department interceded for Towse while the prisoners were being taken to a patrol box in Elm Street. At the box. Towse made a dash and got away. White followed and ran the length of the Globe Cycle Works after the fellow, but he escaped. White admitted this morning he had thrown his club at Towse and said the reason he could not catch him was because he was cold and could not run fast.

"It was so cold that I had to wear four coats, a sweater and two pairs of rubbers and even then 1 wasn't warm. White and Sergt. Simon had a warm dispute concerning abusive language each charged the other with having used at the time of the arrest. Simon intimated the man from the Water department had too much influence because he lived near White's home "What did the Water Department man say to you?" asked Commissioner Kupp. if you must know, he said the escaped prisoner was Commissioner iiupp's valet," replied White and everybody execept the Commissioner laughed.

"Von know you had no right to throw away your baton, your only means of protection. It was a foolish act. The case is closed." Decision is reserved. GODFREY WEHDE III KING'S SEAT, Police Court Opened This Morning After Being Closed a Week. After an entire week's suspension of Police Court because of the illness of Judge King, Mayor Diehl decided this morning the congested condition of police affairs, so far as the court was concerned, should be relieved.

As soon as he learned Judge King was still too 6ick to appear, he arranged to appoint an acting Police Justice and about 11:15 p. m. Attorney Godfrey Wende was sworn in and proceeded at once to the Police Court. There were seventy-six cases presented for trial, and of these hut six were adjourned, so it is certain that an afternoon session of court will be held and even with that it will be necessary to adjourn many of the cases until tomorrow. James Buckley, the man who claims he is simply John Smith, was arraigned on a charge of murdering John Ott in the "Only" Theater, at Commercial and Canal streets.

Coroner Kenney made the charge, in accordance with the verdict reached at the inquest, and Buckley, looking bright and defiant, was arraigned as Smith, and through his attorney. Charles J. Thomas, pleaded not guilty. He was held for the grand jury and committed a second time to jail. Acting Judge Vende's first case, called while waiting for Buckley's case, waa that of the two Polish boys.

Joseph Rut-ka and Frank Taholski. who smashed their beds in jail last Friday night. They were charged with petit larceny in stealing seven chickens from John Maiscewa-ki of No. 47 Kunz Avenne. The boya admitted the theft and Rotka was sentenced to Father Baker'a.

while sentence waa suspended in Taholski'a caae. Lizzie McAror and May Smith, charged with stealing 20 from Charles A. Morgan, a former New York policeman, in Canal Street, were discbaxged- W1RECRU Valley Railroad near Bound Brook, Pa. The heavy snow has compelled the railroad to use a single track for a considerable distance. This explains how the trains came to collide.

The brief dispatch received states that several passengers have been killed and a number more injured. The statement is further made that the locomotives came together with great force and that the trains were piled up. Further details are not now obtainable. PLAINFIELP, N. Jan.

9. Later A serious railroad wreck is reported near here between two passenger trains. Twenty-three persons are reported killed and many injured. Gov. Roosevelt stated this morning that there was no foundation to the reports from New York that he was contemplating an investigation of the Police Department of that city, or that he would soon have a message on that subject before the Legislature.

The Governor also said that the chief men in his mind now for Superintendent of Public were John W. Partridge of Brooklyn and John B. Weber of Buffalo. He also said he had received a letter from John N. Scatcherd of Buffalo, stating he was not a candidate for the of'ce of Superintendent of Public Works.

The Governor acid appointment of Superintendent of Public Works lay between Partridge, Weber, "and the field." Assemblyman Hill will fall between two stools if the Democratic minority in the I-egislature has its way. Led by Assemblyman Palmer, it is likely to contest his eligibility to a seat in the Assembly, on the ground that having sent in his resignation as a member of that body, he is now out. The Democrats claim that he could not withdratv his resignation. 1 he Republicans will contest the action. Gov.

Roosevelt said that on Saturday he telegraphed Assemblyman Hill of Buffalo, requesting him to continue to serve as an Assemblyman and not to press his application to be District Attorney of Erie County, since he was badly needed in the Assembly. This morning, the Governor added, he had received a letter from Mr. Hill withdrawing his application for the position of District Attorney. The Governor was visited today by Wilson S. Bissell of Buffalo, foYmer Postmaster-Genpral, it is suspected in the interest of the appointment of Thomas Penney ns District Attorney of Erie County.

The Governor that Mr. Penney and one other man are now the candidates for the position. HAD SMOKED MORE THAN DID WATERLOO. Man Dead at Age of 111 TJaed All Hi. Life.

East Bloomfield, N. Jan. 9. At the of 111 years, William Condon, believed to have been the oldest person in the State, has just succumbed to the grippe. He was born near Dublin, Ireland, in 1787.

Vienna. Jan. 9. A story of horrible inhumanity has come to light in this city. John Braune; recently lost his fortune in business, and his wife, Anna Braune, told him she was hungry and that he should shoot himself so she could ret the life insurance.

Braune shot himself, but not fatally, and on his recovery his wife told him to hang himself. He was found dead soon after hanging to a boom. i Later. Mrs. Braune hired a workman to kill her mother, whose only heir she was.

The man told the police and 31rs-Braune was arrested. Lincoln Powers Found His Home Deserted and His Children Crying. MOTHER LEFT NO WORD Husband Was Employed In Whit Elephant and la President of Hotel Employees' Association. Lincoln Powers, who up to a few days ago was employed as a waiter in the White Klephant restaurant, had a hapDy home- at No. Michigan Street, where he lived with his wife and two small children.

He held a good position for one of his calling and was well thought of by his fellow waiters, who selected him for president of the Hotel Employee's' Protective Association, an organization for the welfare of hotel employees. He saved a little money and appeared to be getting along in the world. Now this is all changed. The home which was once full of sunshine and happiness is broken up. Powers' money is gone.

His children are being cared for by a woman who boarded with the small family, and Powers is doing extra work in Almendinger's restaurant. The once happy wife has forsaken her husband and babies, and has left town, presumably to go to live with her parents in Detroit. When Powers left home Saturday morning everything appeared to be as usual. He left his wife at the door when he started to his work, and the children were playing happily. Later in the day he was called to his home by one of the neighbors who said the children were crying and entrance to the house was barred.

Powers hurried to his home and there found everything in confusion. Clothes were thrown about and his wife's trim and wearing apparel were gone. Powers was dumbfounded. He realized it all at a glance. His wife had left him and the children and had taken all her things with her.

A hasty examination showed she had taken more than her own things for upon enquiry at the Empire State Savings Bank the distracted husband learned his wife had been at the banking institution and had withdrawn all the family savings, amounting to about i Powers' first thoughts were of revenge; He quit his position and determined to hunt down the woman who had promised to be a mother to his children. Friends interfered and Powers was persuaded let the woman go and make the best of a. bad job. This morning Powers went to work in Almendinger's restaurant, while the children are being cared for 'by Mrs. Wehdel, a boarder.

The children will Le placed in a home; j. RED WHISKER IN POISON CASE A REAL ONE, Miss Miller Says it Was Not False She Looked Closely. New York, Jan. 9. No arrest in Ihe Adams poisoning case has yet besu made.

Chief of Detectives McCluskey said this morning that he did not believe any wonid be made today. The are morally sure that the man under suspicion is the murderer, hut hesitate 10 make the arrest until positive proof is obtained, so that a conviction will sure follow. William J. Kinsley, the handwriting expert, has come to no definite conclusion yet, although he has discovered a certain similarity between the handwriting on the wrapper that covered the package sent to Hrry Cornish and iho handwriting on some of the letters submitted to him. These letters were sent by the man under suspicion to Cornisii more than a year ago.

I'ntil Mr. Kinsley has concluded that the handwriting in both cases is the same, the police declare it would not be wise to arrest their man. The liberty that the suspect joys is but a mockery of the word, for his every step is dogged by detectives. The death of Henry C. Barnet.

the closer the investigation is pursued, remains connected with the subsequent poisoning of Mrs. Adams. Miss Addie Bates, the trained nurse who cared for Barnet in his last illness, has made an important statement to the police. Little of it was made public. One of the things Miss Bates told the police again brings a woman into the case.

Barnett received flowers and notes daily from a woman. When the first note care Barnett unconsciously said: "I wonder how she knew I was ill." The police refuse to say who the "she" is. The false beard theory has received another setback and it is now believed this story was merely put out by the police as a blind, intended to throw the suspect off the track. Miss Emma Miller, the young woman who sold the silver holder to a man with a pointed red beard, has confided to a friend that the beard was genuine and that the man was not disguised. She is sure of this as she took a good look at the man.

FIGHT IT OUT BETWEEN THEMSELVES. Willington Haa Plan for Filipino Spanish Settlement. Cumberland. Jan- 9. States Senator Willington has decided against the peace treaty as it now stands.

He objects to the cession of the Philippines to the United States. He thinks the Spaniards and the Filipinos should fight it out between themselves. M'LEOD'S FUHITIL The funeral of Mrs. file nor M. Me-Leod.

who died Saturday, will take place tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the residence of M. W. Ayrer, No. 444 Normal Avenue. Vest's Resolution Questioning the Constitution Taken Up.

HOAR SUPPORTED IT. Lust of Empire, In His Opinion, Grtat-Mt Present Dinger of the United States. WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. The Senate passed a bill to admit to certain soldiers homes, volunteer soldiers and sailors who served in the war of the Rebellion and in the war with Spain provided they are disabled and unable to earn a living.

At 12:20 Seuator Frye, the presiding officer, laid before the Senate Mr. Vest's joint resolution declaring that under the Constitution of the United States no power is given to acquire territory to be held and governed permanently. Mr. Hoar Mass.) addressed the Senate in support of the resolution. The Senators evinced profound interest in the speech.

Mr. Hoar said he was old-fashioned enough to think that our forefathers constructed the greatest government ever organized and that they believed in the- widest liberty. He pointed out that the lust of empire, in his opinion, was the greatest danger today to the United States. Rome went down under it. Policy Threatened Rain.

Mr. Hoar denied that he was a strict constructionist, but he could not endorse any policy that threatened the ruin of this country. Hamilton would have looked with horror upon the construction put upon the Constitution by the Connecticut Mr. Piatt, For a half hour or mov Senator Hoar discussed the queston and in detail attempted to upset the authorities and precedents quoted by Mr. Piatt.

He declared that Mr. Piatt's whole argument toppled over. It was not supported by a single one of the authorities he cited. He took sharp issue with Mr. Piatt that Congress had the right to acquire territory.

Question of Intention. "The question we have to deal with," Mr. Hoar went on, "is whether Congress may conquer and govern a foreign nation without its consent. It was a power our fathers loathed and abhorred, and they did" not mean to confer any such power." suveOfItt IS CONFIDENT OF ACQUITTAL. James Buckley Declares All the Witnesses Will Favor Him.

John Ott's murderer is wonderfv.lly sanguine of acquittal. He believes his case will be entirely one-sided in his favor. James Buckley, a name wb' was given the murderer by police because it was found printed on an old. dilapidated case found iu his possession, promises to spring some surprises on the District Attorney when the case comes to trial. He states quite confidently and with a look of shrewdness, which indicates his unshaken faith in his own cunning, that nearly every of the dozen more witnesses now locked up in the jil awaiting the is in his favor.

1' 3 openly boasts they will testify in his behalf. Buckley will plead self defense. He claims he cau prove ue was first attacked by Ott. and it is said that Buckley will attempt to prove Ott first drew a knife on him. "Who knows who gave me this cut?" is a remark Buck ey has several times made to Deputy Mike Ryan.

It is thought by the jail guards that Buckley intends to pr he received the ugly slash rom Ott. Buckley seems to affect, or really has. a profound, deep-rooted contempt for the police. He calls them "a lot of too less babies and brainless coxcombs." The remarks he has made about them are of the most uncomplimentary kind. This morning Special Detective Solomon of Police Headqnai.ors called at the jail with two men.

He wanted them to identify Buckley. "I want to see Buckley." said Solomon to the jailer. Deputy Ryan was told to send Buckley Uxto the jail office. "I wou't go. If those fellows want to npf me they've got 1 to come here.

id Buckley. He refused to go into the office- and Detective Scumon went away with the two men. He will call again wlira he expects to find Buckley in a better mood. Anglo-French Hostility Increased by Results of Diplomatic Contest. United States Had a Hand In Winning the Game in China.

England Persistently Worries the Gaul as if Seeking Trouble. Ixmdon. Jan. 0. The first intimation of the decision of the Chinese Government anent the French claims at Shanghai comes from a messsage telegraphed to the State Department by Mr.

Conger, the American Minister at Pekin. He states that in consequence of his and Sir Claude MacDonald's protests. China has refused France's demand for an extension at Shanghai. France's defeat in Shanghai by England aided by the United States, is liable to ferment Anglo-French hostility, as it does, upon the friction between the two nations caused by serious differences in Madagascar. Newfoundland end elsewhere.

England's persistent worrying of France in every quarter where their interests approach, is nlv explainable in two ways: Either England wishes a war with France, or else she is too phlegmatic to see the effect of her repeated diplomatic onslaughts on the nature. Editorials in the English papers have taken a domineering and insulting tone which shows an inherent racial hatred of the Caul. Silnatloo Alarming. Rome. Jan.

WANT BACK SALARIES. Arbeiter Zeitung Has Not Printed an Edition for Sereral Days It May Resume. The wheels of misfortune in the office of the Arbeiter Zeitung are at a standstill and the printing plant in NO. 315 Genesee Street is being held dowj by a clerk and one faithful servant in the person of the "printer's devil." The Arbeiter Zeitung is a Socialistic published daily, weekly and Sunday and is supposed to be published in the erests of the workingmtn. It tells him how down-trodden he is, and how he is oppressed by cruel capitalists.

The paper at one time was edited by Herr John Most, the Chicago Anarchist, but the field was too small and converts among Buffalo workingmen did not respond readily. Most was forced to quit the job and seek broader fields, among less intelligent citizens. '''he Zeitung has an alleged circulation of about 2.000 daily, but since Friday last no paper has been issued from the Genesee Street office. The cause of the suspension was the failure of the appearance of the "ghost." which i supposed to walk regularly on pay day every week. The Zeitung "ghost" appears, lo have died and gope to join other ghosts of Kaymarket fame, because he has Sailed to walk in this particular place for several weeks, and now the compositors and pressman I have somewhat changed their socialistic ideas and hay ouit work.

No paper was issued the Zeitung office on Saturday tast. and there will be no paper today, nor tomorrow. There may be one Wednesdav if money enough can be collected to pay up back salaries. A srecial meeting of the stockholder has been called for tomorrow night and the future of the pa depends entirely upon this meeting. "The trouble is.

we are unable to collect enough money to pay running expenses," said the clerk in charge this morning. "We are not capitalists and depend greatly upon our collections. We are short, and at present cannot pay back salaries." "How much money have the men coming to them'; Why. some of them have three weeks' salary and others have only a few days" pay coming. Some of the men have been her for ten years.

They are Socialists and should not treat us in this manner." If the btockholders decide npon putting in a little more money to I save the paper there nl be an ed.tion issued Wednesday. A little capital is not such a bad thing to have within reach. SATS CALLAHAN IS SAIf Mrs. John J. Callahan of No.
