“What | suppose you want to know
Is why I have returned. Well, I heard
something about criminal proceedings,

it's all I have to say just now
“You can interpret what It means,
and so can the public. It signifies that
though my health is far from re-estab-
lished I am ready te accept any chal
lenge implied by such proceedings. As
to my health, let me add that there Is
po nécessity for any resort to fiction.
I am fortunats to be alive after all
that has happened, Lut I am not 80 fer-

“For instance?’ he was ssked

death of Mr. MeQall, and 1 might say
almost ss much the more

they would say or do. As to what

“Nota word.”
“Well, all that you want to say is
that you have come back to face any

“Yes, discordant or otherwise. You

French Girl Whe Killed Gerdren to
Testify of Police Graft.
NEW YORK. March 7.—Am!d a scene
of unprecedented uproar in a criminal
tribunal Berthe Claiche, the French
gir] ebarged with killing Emil Gerdron,
whose mistress she had been, pleaded
gully to mansisughter (u the frst de
gree before Justices Davis and a jury
It 1s said that the girl, by virtue of an
agreauent between the district attor
nay and her lawyers, is to testify and
lay bare the system of graft practiced
upon women by dishonest policemen
attached to the Tenderloin station and
to the “vice squad.”
After the plea had been entered and
Clerk Penny started to take the girl's
pedigree the young woman swooned
and fell iu a heap at her counsel's feet
She was carried to a table and laid
out Reviving slightly, she screamed:
“Mother! Mother!"
Every one, from judge to jurors,
was shouting commands and words of
advice.

moll, and many of the women specta-
tors fainted and added thelr hysterical
cries to the genaral uproar.
The Claiche case had attained consid-
erable notoriety through the disclosures

squad” of the police department. Bev-
eral policemen were accused by the
defense of being mixed up in the mur
der of Gerdron, and the prosecution as-
serted that a policeman held Gerdron
while Berthe shot jJm. The girl's story
that Gerdron had forced her into lead-
ing a life of shame that be might live
luxuriously upon ber earnings and that
abe killed bim in self defense secured
ber much sympathy at first, but reve
lations in the courtroom destroyed
most of it. The whole gase was one of
sickening disclosures of the under:

Comparing the Freuch and German

Should war between France and Ger-

would begio with a naval battle and
therefore a doubly powerful! French
fleet was necessary owing to the newl
of France to defend herself both in the
North sea and in the Mediterranean
The strengthening of national de

the best guarantee of peace, for It was
necessary to prepare for war if the na

The necessity to defend territory he
came greater with the progress of so-

M. Doumer, the president of the
deputies, on behalf of the chamber,
thanked M. Lockroy for his patriotic
declaration, but regretted the insuf.
ficlency of the budget. Admitting the
weakness of the navy, he strongly sec
