Gen. Mercier, minister of war, introduced to-day in the chamber of deputies a bill providing the death penalty for such military traitors us Captain Dreyfus.

Deputy Jaures, socialist, waa delegated by the party to demand the abolition of the death penalty in the army In the course of bis ai- taqcs upon the government lie said Dreyfus escaped the death sentence because the government feared the consequences of executing him. Premier Dupuy reproached for voicing the theories of international socialism on a subject which should appeal to every Frenchman's loyalty. "You arc InternationaliktB," shouted Jaurea In reply, ppintlng to the ministers "You favor internationalism of Hebrew capitalists, whom you screen and protejet these Hebrew capitalists whom you adopt as wards are swindlers und scamps." The chamber was brought to a high pitch of excitement by this harangue. 'Ihc socialists cheered approv- luglv. Tho ministers inteirupted the speaker frequently with protests.

As Juurcs reached the climax of bis charges, M. Burtbou, minister of publie works, sbrfing to bis feet and shouted You lid, know you lie." Jaureb' reply was drowned the tumult, which was stilled after live minutes by the Ident's bell. TheTM, were many calls for the censuring of Jaures, and eventually DeBrifson, the president, requested him to retract his accusations. Jaures refused flatly. He was censured by the president and expelled temporarily from the chamber 1'he sitting adjourned in confusion Jaures sent seconds to Barthou.

According to the arrangements made by the seconds the Jaurcs-Barthou duel will bo fought with pistols at 23 paces. The previous question was demanded by the government as soon aa the chamber came to order, aud carried against Jaures' proposal. Alexander Mil- lerand, radical, argued in a speech on General Mercier's bill that existing laws would enable the government to punish Dreyfus with death. Lawyer Leville (republican) denied this. Eventually urgency was voted on the Mercier bill.

24. Samuel C. heeley, the defaulting bookkeeper of the National Shoe and Leather Bank, who was arrested In Chicago on December 11 and last week pleaded guilty to an indictment against him for defrauding the bank by making false entries and converting the bank's money to hip own use, was arraigned before Judge Benedict In the United States court to-day for sentence. The spedllc sum mentioned In the indictment as misappropriated by Seeley Is only 85,080. though his peculations from the bank for the benefit of Frednrick Baker, which had been going on for several jears, aggregated $354,000 When Seelev, the bank defaulter, was called in court, he walked to the bar with a firm step, looking palp, d( iccted and crestfallen.

Lawyer Angel interceded for the defendant on the grounds that (ustlce would be met by the minimum punishment. He said Seeley bad told him openly that he was guilty and deserved punishment. Seeley, he said, had over 600 accounts under his care His first mistake was an error, fie should have gone to the president of the bank about It, but Instead went to Baker, a man of will power and decision who easily influenced him. He had not placed the government to the expense or trouble of a trial. He asked ihat sentence be executed in the Kings county penitentiary.

Judge Benedict sentenced Seeiey to eight years In the Kings county penitentiary. Seeley waa at once taken to tbe Lndlow street jail. With allowance for good behavior the actual time Seeley will have to serve will be abont five years and four months. GETS IMPUDENT. He pisposesof Court's Decision Off Hand and a Few Other Things.

Bangor base ball enthusiasts will be Interested In the proposalthat has been made by some prominent players to make changes In scoring. Tbe Idea of Ed Hanlon to Include bases on balls and batsmen bit by pitcher In the category of earned runs Is by no means new.

It was advocated strongly, but tho league would not bave It. It was tben bioacbed to several of tbe it was not even given hearing. Now that an ex- player Is op tbe committee, something may be done. The rule as It now stands Is nonsensical. It means nothing.

A pitcher may bo wild as he pleases, bnt It won't affect bis record on earned runs. A base on balls should certainly co'Unt against tbe Wild pitches, however, should no mare count in summing op earned runs than should wild throws or passed Mills. Tlinyaro errors. Hanlon'a Idea Id to Include anything as a factor toward earned runs except fielding errors, bat ne of the murder tbe burned camp rat half a mile from Millinockel and near the railroad track. 'Ihe camp which was a small one, built of logs, had been entirely consumed and a terrible sight was presented among the rulna.

'Ihere luy the crumbling remains of the skeletons of two bodies, Ihe Spaniard Naahan Cumllle, and the Frenchman, Charles Langley It was possible to identify them as once having been human beings, and that was i almost nil Scraps of clothing, buttons', overshoe buckles, etc showed that bodies hud at some time been clothed Tlie Spaniuid was lying near what had been the door with his fiet towards it and tlie I renchman WHS not far from the position which his bunk occupied As far as can be leuined the Frenchman, Laugley, was not actively connected with the light but was lying drunk In his bunk when the camp was set on lire It Is thought that when the lire began he partially revived and attempted to make hU way out. Theie wus only one exit, the dooi, mid a solid sheet of flame probably drove him back. He fell a short distance in front of tlie bunk and laid there a prey for the fast consuming flumes. Tho stoic, fuunel, tin dishes and other articles which would not burn, laid about in confusion, apiong the ruins The officers made a curefjul search about the camp and ut one corner found a rllic of the Winchester mi ke with tbe stock burned oil Abe ut twenty feet away in some bushel an empty revolver and a bloody hatchet! were found These are now in tbe BhnrllTa possession and are important evideure. Among the ruins $2 J6 in iilvcr was fouud.

Some of it was partially melted and atuck together Nothing elae of any account was found there but beyond the path that led to tbe new camp which tho Spaniard was building a quarter of a mile away, waa found the Spaniard'! gold watch. After thla camp had been examined the officers returned to the old one. Sheriff Reed directed that the remains of Camille and Langley be placed In a box, and they were burled near the camp. After the spot bad been thoroughly examined tho officers returned to the station and made further inquiries among tbe men who had learned anything concerning the murder. They also questioned the Indians.
