FEAXCE'S TUBS TO GET UP A SCANDAL IjOxdox, Dec. 17. A deputation of agri cultural laborers lias waited upon Et. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain in connec tion with the schemes proposed lor better ing their condition. The deputation was composed of men with Conservative or Unionist tendencies, and their desire to know what the Government proposed to do in their behalf was probably stimulated by the recent conference of Liberal rural dele gates held in London for the purpose of de ciding upon a course of action that would bring out a betterment in the condition of English and other agricultural laborers. Jlr. Chamberlain assured the deputation ihat the Government was more at liberty and was more willing than was the opposi tion to adopt legislation looking to an amelioration of the condition of agricultural laboiers throughout the country, by the es tablishment of county councils. Mr. Chamberlain also said that the dwell ings of the laborers would be improved, adding that the Government proposed, at the coming session of Parliament to author ize loans for that purpose. It also had ready to introduce a measure to allow labor ers to acquire small holdings and to assist them in procuring the land. The Govern ment also had under consideration other measures of special interest to agricultural laborers. A TSPICAL FEESCH SCAHDAI Eevlvcd by the Trial of a Man for Murder ing His Wife's Lover. Paris, Dec. IV. The trial opened at Angonleme to-day of M. Lesdain for at tempting to murder his wife and her lover in a railway carriage. The leading wit ness, Madame de Kute, Directress of the Rerm Internationale, of which Madame Les dain was assistant editor, sent a medical certificate to the effect that she was in ill health and was sojourning in Spain. Madame Lesdain deposed that her husband was au agent of an insurance company and traveled m the country, visiting tier only at long intervals. She resided and worked with Madame de Eute, and was thrown con stantly into the society of M. Delboeuf, a xnembor of the staff of the Jlsnie, who suc ceeded in gaining her affections. When Delboeuf was dismissed from his position on the staff she resolved to abandon her husband in order to share the fortunes cf her lover. She wrote her husband her decision, saying that she wanfed a divorce, as it was impossible to live happily with him. While traveling toward Paris with Delboeuf, her husband buddenly appeared at the door of the rail w ay carriage at the Hendave station. After kissing her and saying, "I know all, yet I love you," he drew a revolver and fired, wounding Delboeuf. SHOW KEEJS THE PEACE IN ASIA. Sritish Troops Jfear I'amir Ssf", bnt -Military Ioomen!s Impossible. Calcutta, Dec 17. The question of further operations on the part of the British troops against the HunzaS'iger tribesmen in the vicinity of Gilgit, near the Pamir frontier, has been settled for the time being by the weather. Snow has fallen at those places and in the surrounding country to such an extent that military operations are impossible. It as feared that communication with the troops was cut ofT on account of the Enow, but advices dated the 11th inst. were received from there to-dav, showing that the fear nas groundless. The officers and men who were wounded in the recent storm ing of Fort Nilt and the subsequent pur suit of the tribesmen in the mountains, are still making good progress toward recovery.

DAMAGING EVIDENCE GIVEN. DK. GRA.YES THKEATEKED TO PKOVE MBS. BAKNABT EJSAXE. He Knew He Was a Beneficiary In Her Will That Anyone Should Suspect Him of Poisoning Her Surprised Him Greatly. Denver, Dec 17. In the Barnaby Graves trial to-day several important wit nesses were examined. Mrs. Bennett testi fied that Mrs. Barnaby had told her that she had left Dr. Graves 550,000 in her first will. Witness also rceollected that Mrs. Barnaby had received a letter in which Dr. Graves threatened to appoint a guardian for her. This fretted her and she cried for sev eral days, and later on she complained to Dr. Graves. She also complained of her maid, Miss Hanley, but after Dr. Graves cime the maid was most attentive. Mrs. Hickey, who was Mrs. Barnaby's washwoman, said that after Mr. Barnaby died, Mrs. Barnaby met Dr. Graves and seemed to be fascinated with him. Dr. Graves advised her to contest the will in which her husband left her $2,500 a year. Later Mrs. Barnaby said she would do this, and also that Dr. Graves wanted her to sign ' a paper stating that Maud Barnaby was not -iir. Jiarnaoy s child, xne doctor had tola her that if she could not get her rights she should have her revenge. Witness said that while Mrs. Barnaby w as in California she received a letter from her, in which she asked witness to watch Dr. Graves, that she had reasons to mistrust him. In January last Dr. Graves told Mrs. Hickey that he sent Miss Hawley with Mrs. Barnaby to snv on her. Tn Anril last Dr. Graves said that if Mr. Barnaby asked for her property he would "bring her in insane" He also said that if Mrs. Barnaby gave her money to the Bennetts he would send her to a crazy house Henry G. Trickey said that Dr. Graves, in an interview with him, had said he was surprised that anyone 6hould suspect him of Eoisoning Mrs. Barnaby. He believed she ad been poisoned, and was under the im pression that the poison had been sent her from Boston. He refused to talk of his journey West after Mrs. Barnaby's death, but she had informed him that he was a beneficiary in her will. He told the wit ness that he had taken charge of Mrs. Barnaby's affairs only upon her earnest so licitation. He also reflected upon Mrs. Barnaby's character, and declared he was sorry he had ever become acquainted with her. Adjourned. Still Investigating tho Wolf Chase. President Eaton, of the Humane Society, returned early yesterday morning from Greensburg. He was there, to investigate the Hacke wolf chase.

The Regulars UnaMe to Get the intis to Come Over to Them. FAKMERS COMBINE WITH THE ASTIS rErECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATrit.1 New Oeleass, Dec. 17. All hopes of healing the breach in the Democratic party have been abandoned. The regular Demo cratic convention made overtures looking to a reconciliation, and sent a delegation, headed by ex-United States Senator Jonas, to the anti-lottery convention to invite the bolters to join them. Senator Jonas com plains that he was so rudely treated, jeered and shouted at in the anti-convention that no further attempt at restoring friendly re lations will be made. It is now admitted that the two factions of the Democratic party will not come to gether again until an election decides the lottery question, and they may not come together even then. The regular Democratic Convention pro ceeded slowly and deliberately, going through all the formalities and examining the credentials. It is constituted mainly of pro-lottery men, but about 33 men of the anti delegates remained in it, being unwill ing to split the party on the issue, and a very extreme opponent of the lottery, ex- senator wells, was chosen as jrresiueut of the regular convention. All Parties Split Into Factions. It was the intention of the anti-lottery people to have a short session, to show their harmony, but trouble broke out between the two elements composing the party the Farmers' Alliance and anti-lottery Demo crats. When the campaign began last Au gust these two factions had agreed to unite forces, and, if they were successful, to di vide the officers, and. the Alliance was as signed the Governor. For this position it nominated its President, T. S. Adams. By this agreement Adams was entitled to the nomination to-day, from the snti con vention, but he was strongly objected to on the ground that he was a weak man and would hurt the movement in New Orleans. On this question the anti-lottery convention was nearly shipwrecked to-day. The farmers insisted on the nomination of Adams, and the anti-lottery Democrats op posed it Caucuses were held all day long, and the farmers became so disgusted that some of them threatened to go over to the other con vention. The difficulty was finally settled by Adams himself. When the convention met he was nominated for Governor by ac clamation, but declined the nomination. At at later session he was asain nominated and declined, declaring that under no cir cumstances would he accept the candidacy. A Combination Ticket Selected. This cleared" away all difficulties, and Hon. M. J. Foster, the leader of the anti lottery movement, was nominated for Gov ernor, the farmers finally abandoning .their claims to the governorship. The nomina tion will probably strengthen the anti-lottery movement. Foster was President of the State Senate. He is 42 yea's of age,-a lawyer, a shrewd politician and an eloquent speaker. He led the fight in the Legisla ture against the lottery, and although de feated, showed rare ability, and has ever since been regarded as the natural leader of the anti cause. He will probably not command as many fasmers' votes as Adams, but is stronger in New Orleans and South Louisiana. Hon. Charles Parlance, United States District Attorney under Cleveland, was nominated for Lieutenant Governor, ex-Attorney General Cunning ham for Attorney General. Adams, Presi dent of the Farmers' Alliance, and who was to have been the candidate for Governor, accepted the position of Secretary of State, and Lafarge, the Lecturer of the Alliance, was named for Superintendent of Public Education and another farmer for Treasurer. The ticket is regarded as a strong one, and will bring it the support of the Farmers' Alliance. No Hopes of Carrying the State. The anti-lottery Democrats do not, how ever, seem to entertain much hope of carr. ing the State, and they place their ticket in the field believing that it will strengthen the fight against the lottery amendment. The campaign will largely depend upon the attitude assumed by the Republicans. There is a division inthe Republican party on the lottery question, the rank and file favoring the lotterj', but the Federal officeholders opposing it. It is understood that the administration will urge the Re publicans to do all in their power to assist in bringing about tne defeat of the lottery amendment. It is charged by the pros that a regular understanding has been reached between the antis and the Republicans, by which the latter are to throw all their in fluence and votes to the anti-ticket in the State election.
