PARIS, Jan. 16.—Immediately aftar the open
ing oi the chamber today M. Levy. Socialist
deputy for tha seine, interpolated the govern
ment as to the expulsion of fohr nihilists from
France on January 13, at the instance
of Baron Mohrenheim, Rnssisn ambas
sador. M. Ribot replied at length to the
interpellation. He said the government would
not hes.tate to compel persons who came to the
country for the purpose of rlottisg the over
throw of other governments to leav*. [Cries oi
"Oh! Oh!" from the socla ist dep-ities.] Aa
toine Jourde, Socialist deputy for the Gir
onde, moved that he be allowed to proceed,
as vrtal interests wero at stake. If the
government had a rigat to expel all who
disagreed with its opiuions in domestic or for
eign p ilitics, he said, it might as w t ?ll proclaim
despotism at once. Uproar followed this state
me.it, the Socialist, cheering and the rest of
the chamber shouting disapproval. On a vote
Jourde's motion was lost. Lucieune Millevoie
Boulangist, asked Bourgeois wht.i Lobbyist
Arton and the German t.aitor and adventurer,
Herz, would be prosecuted.
"1 refuse to associate myself with the makers of
unsubstantiated charges," said Bourgeois. "On
January 7a wasrant had already bsea issued for
>l. Arton's arrest. I brought the ca»e of SI. He;z
beto o the council of the Legion o. Honor. Two
subi<e iaes were issued .or nim somo time atto,
am' to lay they were changed to a summons lor
him to appear as an accused party."
lhe la-t statement by Bourgeois was received
with prolonged cheers from the lelt.
A committee irom tiie deputies today .urged
M. Kibot to finish the Panama inau.ry with all
possible speed lest the other bus uess at the
ciiamiier be delayed. M. Ribot replied that the
magistrate s examination was almost com
pleted and a report would be aubnj.tted to the
chamber shortly.
In the parliamentary commission inquiry to
day M. Souveride und M. fatistcheff testified as
to the charges o: corruption against the Russian
press. Souveride, editor of the Xoroe Vremya.
protested that the charges as to the receipt of
51)0,000 francs by the newspaper from the Panama
was unqualifiedly a't'alsehood. Neither he
uor any of his fellow-j <urualists lu Russia, so
far as be knew, had touched a eentime of
Panama money. Tatistcheff made a similar de
niuL Marquis de Castelino came our with a de
nial of the report that ho paid a Panama check
for 1,2j0,0QG francs.
There is a rumor that ths proceeding against
Deputies Roche, Rouvier and Arena and Sena
tor Thcvenet will be stopped aud that they will
be discharged for lack of evidence.
The government is greatly intaied at the
exaggeration of the Panama, scandal by
foreign journalists, and has resolved to
exercise to the fullest extent in the
suppression of such reports its authority
to expel obnoxious nlieus. Today the
expulsion was anuounced of Bcrnacsoui. Paris
correspondent of th* Corriere D(. a fcr O, a
newspaper of considerable circulation in
Mian, for having thrown suspicion upon
Uen. Menabrca, formerly Italian urn bassador
in Paris, as having been implicated iu the
Panama bribery. This action is generally ap
proved, as Marquis Menabrea is « personal
favorite with the people of France. Nobody be
lieves the charges against Menabrea. The in
sinuation against Baron Mohreuhelm "is believed
to be equally unioun led. The government is
a so much displeased with reports sent abroad
regarding the danger of insurrection. These
alarmist reports find ready publication in En
glish newspapers, but within a few days, since
the ministry has shown a resolution not to
harbor foreign correspondence striking at the
government, it has noticed that the sensa
tional utterauces of the Loudon pre.*', predict
ing in veiled language the downfall of the re
public, are either confined to the editorial col
umns or dated in large port from
other capitals than Paris, lust an it has
been for a long time the rule of
certain London newspapers to date more sensa
tioual Russian news from Vienna or Berlin. It
is rumored thnt the exemplary action
of the government against alien retailers
of the Panama scandal is not without
-ympathv among the foreign correspondent*
themseives, some of wbo*o names -rave been
mentioned with the general currupturn of the
press. One correspondent of an Englis paper,
unless rumor does him gravo injustice, profited
by the desire of the Panama directors to
keep certain farts regarding their enterprise out
of the public press.
Notwithstanding the government a* profes
sions of security, there is no doubt that the
troops of the I'aris garrison are kept ready for
an emergency, and that on a few minutes' no
tice any street in Pans could be com
manded by infantry, cavalry and artil
lery. Gen. Loizillou, the new minister
of war had a long conference yesterday
with Gen. i-aussier. It is also known ttiiit Gen.
Sau.-sier's visit to President Carnot had other
motives beside a de-ire to disclaim liny ambi
tion ior the presidency. Carnot's intimates as
sert that he is cap.ible of being as stern
and resolute in the enforcement of
authority as any man wlirt ev* r ruled
France. .Should Carn»t be compelled, bis
friends say, to face either a Monarchist
or Anarchist uprising he would aston
ish the people with his severity an crush
ing the insurrection an 1 punishing the
guilty parties. It is stated that secret
or Jers have been sent to the commanders ot
army corps to be ready to co-operate in case of
necessity with the authorities, a;id deal
promptly and thoroughly with any symp
toms of insubordination in the army Useli.
There is no reas >u to suppose, however, that
any insubordination exists. B.jth ofTirers and
soldiers are generally loyal to lite republic. liu
altaes* of foreign critirs on repub
lic has aroused indignation, aud ►erved
to stimulate a spirit of patriot.sin
which rwes above factional differ
ences. The Paris new-papers today ihf?.w either
decided leaning or milder opposi'iort toward
the government, ihe reto'.ut* < of the
ministry hat tal a favorab •» mfs ie;ice, and
there is vr u-iUy unanimous approval of the
expn s.on of foreign detractor*.

THE HOMESTEAD roiSONINO.
Cooks Tarn Stnte'e Evidence, and Make
n Bad Case Against Labor Lenders.
PITTSBURG, Jan. 16.—Patrick Gallagher, a cook
at the Homestead mill during the strike, today
told on the stand iu the trial oi Hugh Dempsey,
charged with poisoning non-uuion workmen,
the story as told by hint heretofore an 1 pub
lshed. He implicated Cooks Beattv and David
son and Dempsey, master workman of the
Knights of Labor. The witness said Dempsey
gave hire p>wders to place in the coff.-e and tea
of workmen. Dempaey said it would make
,them sick, but would not eudakger their lives.
A num: er of men who were made sick testified
as to this fact, but their testimony elicited noth
ing new. In the afternoon Gallagher a-raic took
tne stand, and stated that in ail he got eighteen
powders from Dompsey. He used the powders
in aoup and got some of it himself. It made
him sick and gave him diarrhea Continuing
he said:
I saw Dempsev September 02 and told him I
was sick and he let me lay off ft few days and
then eo back. He eaid wc could set men at
Cincinnati to do the job in the mill. Before I
went to work again two<cooks enme from Cin
cinnati, Tony Gilierl and William Cole
mau, and they went to work in tn«
milL I told Dempaey they were here,
and he said: "Dou't you bring them near me;
I don't want any one but you. Beatty and David
son to know I am in thia. We all waited into
the cook nou-e. I was on the night turn. After
1 wen* back to work I got six more powders
from Djtnpsey. 1 used the powders in the coft'ee
the night 1 got :n, Octout-r 4 or 5, I could
not swear which. William E. Griffith got
part of this coflee. I don't thtuk
I got auv mo'e powders from Djmpsey niter
October 5. 1 ieit October 18. I SHW Detnpsey
au'ain October 20. I told him ti.ere wa» a de
tective in the mill. I went to Dempsey ten
days after thiit an i asked him about my money.
I received some money, but n >t directly from
Dempaey. On October 17 I ssw Danmsev and he
said: "tour detectives have been watching mo all
the morning, siit> into the building and you will
get your money." I went in, and a m:a wnom
1 would recognize said to sign a receipt. I dil
artfl !.e cave m-! SJS. I presented tne bill to
Dempsey about November 5. Dempsey marked
it "O. K-, D.mpsey." I i the bill to
Beatty, und tie said to set Ha with Detnpsiy; he
can pay his own biils. When I first he ir i of
BeattvV arrest 1 wrote a note to Demi sey in
wnich I s.ii.l: "I see Batty lias been arreste i
m Loui-viile. t?eud me money and 1 will
get out of town." In answer to the niP**agq I
met D mp-ey on the same day at an office on
Third avenue. D-mp-ey said to me, "What
are you airuid oi? I a.:i not afraid; you attend
to your own wors. and you need not be afraid,
if you are arrested I will get you a lawyer and
get you bail. It you have to go on the stau i,
swear you never knew me and I will swear the
si»nie. If they ask you about the powdera sav
you don't know."
This finished Gallagher's direct examination.
The cross-examination was conducted by
Thomas Marsha.l, who used every method to
try and confuse the witness, but failed. The
jury were intently interested in Gallagher's
story, aud that it made a decided impression
was manifest. Robert Beatty was brought into
court and identified by Gallagher. J. M David
son, Gallagher's alleged accomplice, was then
called. He said:
L i«t August Beatty, Gallagher and myself went
to Kuights of Labor hall, on Third avenue,
where we met Demnsey. Beatty said, "There
are the men." Dempsey said, "Weil, the boys
want some men to go to Homestead to break the
strike." Beatty suggesied croton oil. I objected,
and Dempsey did too. saying he did not want to
harm tho men, but only make them sick.
I made up my mind I would not have anything
to do with it Demiisev said there was money
in it for us, and he would guarantee us
Beatty afterwards said there was a gold watch
and chain iu it ior us.
Beatty then continnod and told the same
story as sworn to by Gullagher. He said Demp
sey paid him 912.
George VV. Crail, dispatcher of the Pennsyl
vania line, testified that Demrsey left (25 with
him for a man who called and receiptod for it,
signing the name Gallagher. The court then
adjourned.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 16.-[Special.]-At 9 o'clock
this evening the attention of the great throng
that packet the office of tha Oiympia hote was
secured by Representative Me id, of What
com, who announced that a Re
publican caucus wou'd be held tomorrow
morning, in accordauce with the above calL
This announcement of a definite hour for the
meeting of the loyal Republicans of the legisla
ture was greeted with rounds of applause. The
names of forty-eight members are fixed to the
call. Several others have taken until
tomorrow morning to consider the matter, and
there is a strong probability that they will sign.
It is, therefore, likely that over fifty will attend
the caucus, and that this will make the elec
tion of John B. Allen certain ia believed by
many observers of tne aituatlon, who are not
even his supporters.
Senator K.uuear has not yet signed the call,
but he baa the petition of hi* constituents be
fore him, and it is expected that be will sigu in
the morning and attend the caucus. The
King county delegation met this evening with
all prcsant except Senator Kinnear, and a reso
lution was adoptod to support Senator Allen
unitedly. A strong feeliug of confidence pre
vails among the Allen men touigbt, aud they
look upon the light as practically won for their
candidate.
On the other hnnd, the Turner people are ap
proachiug the contest that begins tomorrow
with very little hoj>e. They got together elgh
teea members and the senate sergeant-at-arms
in an experience meeting this evening, and
talked gloomily of the situation, though alter
the conference was over they pretended to
have been greatly exhilarated by their
consultation, l'ho knowledgo that Bush of
Chehulis, Roseoe of Snohomish and Seuator
Forsythe of Cowlitz had sinned the caucus
call was tot» depressing to the Turner men, how
ever, to admit of much cheerfulness in their
meeting. Mentzer was present, having become
an avowed Turner man, but he wua the only
one of tho members of the so-called Southwest
ern combination in attendance, the other seven
having signed the rail.
The n.ue Populists of the legislature held a
caucus this evening in the room of Representa
tive Egbert It WHS a very private af
fair, and the new party members decided to
hold the result of their balloting secret
so as to keep curiosity on edge respiting their
v<>tes until they are cast . Tne caucus was
in session three hours, aud, it is
understood, nominated Frank L. Keid, of
Kitsap county, who was one of the
People's party candidates for supreme Judge at
the last state election. The others considered
were: Will IX Jenkins, of Whatcom; 11.
L. Forrest, of Olympia; Dilph B. Hannah,
of Tacoina, and J. C. Van Patten, of
Dayton. How long it would be advisable to re
frain from forming on alliance with the
other pirties was an interesting ques
tion considered by the caucus. It
was determined to "keep in the
middle of the road." at least for the present
though there was a div.siou of senti
ment as to the proposition. The stand
taken by the Populists is a sore dis
appointment to the Turner men, as thev
have been making extraordinary efforts to
induce the third party members to
support the judge. All s«rts of induce
ments have been offered some of
them to desert their party, but the offers
have been rejected, and Turner wijl have no
Populist votes tomorrow; nor will he have any
at any other time, excepting j>erhaps that of
Coiliu, of Spokane. The Turner men aro claim
ing twenty-six votes tonight, including Moore,
independent, of Skamania.
C. (1. Heilner, L. » Hart and LD. Ro«s, of
the "kid committee," arrived from .-eattieto
uight and will be reinforced tomorrow by
the other members, Percy Rochester and
J. F. McElroy. They say they aru here to take
pirt in ttie senatorial Cgtit, and that the
workers will demand recognition after
Grigt's has received his >10, 001) vote. They
inaugurated ihetr campaign by organizing a
"g'.ee c üb" to sing, "Mr. Griggs, p.*a»e
Hand Down Your Robe." Leo B. Hart

The committees appointed by Speaker Arra
smith today are regarded as fair to all fac
tions and parties, and though soma members
have not been given the recognition they
deserved, the general result Is Commanded.
There Is not a corporation taint on the rail
road committee, the speaker by hia
appointments has abundantly vindicated him
self from the false statements that he waa in
fluenced iii the interest of corporations.
Ihe first flood of house bills came today,
thirty-three measures having been introduced.
The house with Its bills more expedi
tiously than the senate does. The upper body
pursues the monotonous course of requiring a
motion iu each case to suspend the rules and
pa»a a bil! to Its second reading and reference,
and the effectof the repetition of the set form of
the motion ia suggestive of schoolboy recita
tions. The house, on the other hand, gives it*
bills their first second reading and refer
ence under a general suspension of the rules,
thus facilitating the dispatch of business.
The title oi the Scott bill, ''Aa act to prevent
strikes," struck tha house as most amusing.
Mr. Karr enjoys the honor of having intro
duce! the first house btIL
Bakrr introduced his free silver resolution
again, in concurrent form, today. Raker wauls
to go on record often on the sliver question.
stcve Judson made a fierce assault this after
noon on the practice of introducing bills "by
request." He declared that uo member ought
to t>« permitted to offer a bill that ha was un
willing to father. Ludden insisted in reply
that rtteve WHS tryiug to deprive members of
their rights. The tilt was canseJ by tha intro
duction of a bill by Shermau. at the request of
the bar of Whatcom county, to provide an addi
tional sirrerior Judge tor the county. Sherman
defendad his course and resented Judson's criti
cisms. After Steve hal steamed up again, a lew
soothing words irom th-» speaker cooled him off
and the precedent was established of permitting
the introduction o' bills "by request."
The Populist forces were arrayed against the
Ni>' ragua canal today. Scott moved to table tne
hi to resolution on the subject, aud demanded
a roll ca!L Tuc.er ra:»e%l the point of order
that to secure a roll call one-sixth of the mem
bers must demand it. The point was sustained,
and on n standing vote to ascertain whether the
roll should be ca.le i, only six members rose—
six I'opnli-ts and Men tier.
seuator Hutchinson apparently is not satisfied
wi h his committee assfeumeuts. He intro
duced a bill today to abolish tiie office of lieu
tenant governor, and secured its reference to
the committee on ludiau affairs, presumably on
the ground that it is a measure relating to
sea p-takin-r.
Nominating speeches wilt be made tomorrow
as follows: For Allen. Roberts in the senate
and Meany iu the house; for Turner, Clavpool
in the senate and Sherman in the house; for
Griggs, Kihelman i:i the senate, seconded by
Shaw, and Gilman iu the house, seconded by
Leo. Judson was tirst selected to make the
nominating speech in the house for Griggs, but
Steve thought it would be in bud taste for a
Pierce county man to carry off the honors, and
at hts suggestion Gilman wa* chosen.
Democratic v an 1 i«i<\t<_• (irig_,*B is here, ener
getically striving to impress upon the Demo
cratic member* the advantage of standiug firm.
Cfriirgß is wonderfully hopeful that out of the
strife of the Republicans he may pluck an elec
tion, and those who ciaun to *i>eak by authority
stiy that there will L>e ple«ty of Urges' money
here whenever It is necessary to have it. This
ta k has encouraged a good many Democrats,
and they are suggesting the great advantage it
will be to the state to scud a Democratic sena
tor to Washington, wno will be la political
sympathy with the administration and with
tt:e majority iu congress. Griggs will
insist, iu case of a deadlock, on receiving the
full Democratic vote indefinitely, and will at
tempt to prevent ttxe releat-e of any of the Dem
ocratic members from their caucus pledges, lln
believes that the nomination has made him the
chief Democrat In the state, and thai he will by
virtue of It become the distributor of Federal
patronage, and his supporters declare that any
Democrat who dares go back on him might as
well be a Republican for all the chance he will
have at the pubUo crib.

table shows the mileage allowed members of the
