At the trial of the copper syndic te men it has been proved that Secretan, as director of the Societe de M. tàux, distributed fictitious profits for 1887 and used improper means to "bill" copper raising the price from under the tooo franes per ton to over 20co francs, and clearing within two months 10,000,000 francs. The defence is the the article of the Penal Code on which the charge is based does not apply.

NEW YORK, May 18 h. Psycho has arrived. It only took him fifty nine days to come from Tacoma to this city by way of the antipodes: He says he is still George Francis Train; that he feels twenty years younger; that he lost his birthday, March 24th, at the Roth meridian, and: that he intends to make the grand circuit in sixty-four days. Then the smash will come.
"You know all about my leaving Tacoma," he said. "Of course, the whole country knew it. Then began my adventures. I intended to take the General Werder for Hongkong, but they told me that I had missed her by two days. Where is she? I asked. "She's at Kobe,' they
said.
"I saw it was a special train or nothing, and so I went to our Consul; Clarence Greathouse, I must have a special and get a passport right away.'' Must? He laughed at me, and told me it was impossible to get one in less than three days. Who can give it to me? I asked. The Mikado,' he replied. 'All right.'. I said, shooting out of the dear, I'm off for Tokio.
"There ran against John F. Swift, our Minister. I said: 'Swift, get me a passport; I want it in twenty minutes. Can't do it,' he said. Get it!' I shouted, 'or I bust your old empire.

They sent messengers everywhere for the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and before twenty minutes were up I had my passport and I vas off You'd have thought that f owned the whole Japanese shebang.!!
The announcement yesterday of the big deal between C. P.

In the House of Loids to-day the Earl of Wemyss and March denounced the tendency of the Government toward Socialist legislation. It was not land alone, but every kind of property that was threatened. The freedom of contract and the freedom of private enterprise were assailed.
Lord Salisbury admitted the existence 'of, a strong tendency to lean upon the State upon every occasion. Against this be said statesmen must guard. Too much importance was attached to the spectre of. Socialism. The public could be trusted to find out what practical, good liek behind socialist doctrines. Nobody not absolutely blind could deny the existence of great evils from which arose socialist proposals and action. He added:.
We are bound to do all we can to remedy these evils, even if we get called socialists, knowing we are undertaking no new principle nor striking out on no new route, but are simply pursuing a long and healthy tradition of English legislation."

The evidence to establish the truth of the revelations that are here given is in possession of the proper Government officers. The great power behind this filibustering movement has
been
the Mexican Land and Colonization Company. This corporation is composed of wealthy Englishmen. They own and control concessions on the peninsula, made by the Mexican Government to the International Company of Mexico.
The only official of the English company who refused to give his consent to the filibustering expedition was Sir Edward Jenkinson, the president. He did not actively antagonize the idea, but he could not agree to it for the reason that he had large banded interests in Mexica proper, which he feared might be affected by a movement of that kind. Still it was understood that he would wink at what the company might do.
་
Colon Hill said that he had acquired this information in regard to the feelings of the stockholders and directors of the Mexican Land and Colonization Company by means of personal intera cws, He also said that at this meeting two or three weeks ago he and Walter G. Smith, editor of the San Diego Daily Sun, had taken a trip to Ensenada especially for the purpose of interviewing Major Buchanan Scott, manager of the English company. This visit was made at Scott'special request. Scott informed Hill that his company would advance a large sum to put forward a revolution on the peninsula by which annegation to the United States would be brought about. He further said he was heartily in favor of the scheme, and he outlined a plan whereby PARIS, May 19'h. the peninsula could be taken and held.
