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.

St. PETERbiiCBG, Dec. 17. A conference
has been held by the Governors' delegates
representing the Zcmstovs (who are charged
with the administration cf local affairs in
the various districts) and other authorities
in the provinces affected by the famine.
General Annenkoff, who was recently ap
pointed by the Czar a member of the Fam
ine Eeliet Committee, proposed to employ
the starving peasants on public works.
After considerable discussion of the pro
posals, the conference declined to sanction
them, only giving its assent toapioposi
ticn that the peasants should be employed
in the making of roads to conuect the more
remote districts of the empire. The Treas
ury has refused to grant any further sum
than 10,000,000 roubles for relief work.

closing of the Methodist Church here.

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. Mr. Eaton stated
that he had not decided whether informa
tion would be entered. The sport, he said,
was viewed with disfavor by the people of
the vicinity and was discountenanced by
those interested in humane work. Mr.Eaton
said that although the killing of wolves
may be a necessity, yet the extermination
should be in a manner not brutal nor repul
sive. The Oldest Tragedian.
Edmon Sheppard Conner, who diea at his

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.
