It Is Ewperor Nicholas who Hk« his father be- fore him shields Count Tolstoy from a.l persecu- tion on the part of the authorities. The famous author's revolutionary writings would lens ere this have brought down upon Mi head all sorts of rlfjnriiuameasures en the part of the govern- ment, had it not been for cba regard which Nich- olas Hi like Aiexr.nder 111. entertains for the aM master of Tasnaja Polyana. and It has become known {hat on tha occasion of t. . last interview between the Czar and M. Plehve, just a week before the tetter*! murder, the Minister had sub- mitted to the Em|»fir a proposal for the deporta- tion of Tolstoy to the monastery prison of Solovetsk hear Archangel, and for his detention there, but that Nicholas had declined In spite of tin* urgent pleadings of Plehve. to give his sanction to the measure. Eventually h* will become very rich again. through the dcuth of him aunt, Adela Hugo, th« only surviving daughter of the front poet. Sh« ekp'd with an Ensllsh cnVer to India from Jer- sey when Victor Hugo was living in exile there. Married without th* French legal formalities, and her union therefore unrecognized by French law. her wedded lif» was sal unhappy, and her mla«l gave way under tho strain. Bar husband died about twor.ty years a*o at Singapore, an., ever tinea her return to France, long betore bet father"* death the cas been confined in a private esyiura for the Insano in the outskirts Of P-iri*. her share la the poet's fortune and in tha ownership of the copyright of his works betas judicion»ly administered by trustees, so that she ia. n.iw pos- sessed of great wealth, which, on her demis-, win be divided in equal shares between her nephew. George, nnd her neice. Jeanne Charcot. "While George is ridiculed for making use of the title of count in conjunction with a name no celt»- brateU as that of his grandfather, he la legally justified in so doing. The poet's father, General Slslsbert Hugo, was created a count by Napoleon I for services on tha battlefield. The general had three sons, of w".om the youngest. Victor, was the famous p<xt. Th« second, Eugene, died a bachelor, while the eldest, AN.'l. who succeeded to his father \u25a0 tin \u25a0 of count, died leaving an only chlM, the late Count Leopold Hugo. Leopold died without any Male Issue, his title therefore com- ing to nia cousin, George H'igo. son of the poet's eldest son, the '.ate Charles Hugo. Leopold, however, left an Illegitimate, daughter, who bears the. name 'if Clementine, and who after \u25a0 most stormy and adventurous career under the name of "Countess Hugo," In Germany. France and Italy, is now undenrolns- a term of penal »»rvitudf> fur fraud in one of the great Italian penitentiaries. Since his early boyhood. George Hugo, who makes us* of the title of "count" and of a count's coronet, has been a source of trouble to his family and of dismay to his grandfathers ad- mirers. II- was obliged to leave the French navy on account of misconduct, and ho had no sooner ccme of agf» than his relative* were compelled to subject U!r.» to Judicial tutelage, in order to set some curb upon his hisann extravagance. His noxt appearance ln the courts was in connection with a suit brought against him by a well known lasses' tailor at Parts for good* furnished to the Marquise de H-- . George Hugo had indorsed the !a»ly« account with a definite written promise to pay. but when asked to settle declined, on the ground that he was no longer on terms of In- timacy with the IHIIHHsW. a married woman, and that his responsibility for the account could not bo enforced by law. since it constituted an im- moral obligation. Some three or four years ago ha \u25a0 i-< knocked down a the crowded foyer of tin ComMie Fran- chise by his brother hi law. Dr. Jean Charcot. physician of the late Cornelius Vanderbilt, for grossly irrsulting in tho theatra his only sister, Jeanne, the wife of Dr. Chare-it. Having ran through his entire frrtune. and bavins] been pre- vent *>d by the courts from dissipating in Us en- tirety the fortune tne heiress whom he married, ha now lives at Florence on an allowance mude to Win by his lately. The announcement published far and wide in the English and foreign newspapers to the effect that Victor Hugo's granddaughter Jeanne, known to ft.me In connection with the poet's work ' LArt d'Etre Grandp*r*. " has once more appeared in the divorce courts at Paris to secure the dissolution of her marriage to Alfred Edwards is rather mis- leading and based upon a misapprehension. It Is perfectly true that Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Edwards, who are near relatives to the late ex-Premier. Waldeck -Rousseau, have been airing their matri- monial trouble* In the divorce oourt. But Mm* Edwards is not Jeanne Hugo, but the daughter of the famous nerve specialist Charcot. and I suppose that the confusion arises from the fact that Jeanne Hugo's last husband wan Dr. Jean Charcot. that Is to say, the brother of lime, Edwards. There is snme excuse, however, for the mistake, as there is no family of any note In Franca which has had more frequent recourse to the tribunals, and especially to the divorce court, In recent years than that of the- poet Victor Hugo. Jeanne Hugo. before being married to Dr. Charcot, was the wife of Leon Daudet. son of the famoua novelist Alphanse Daudet, the union belnjr dissolved by the courts; while Jeanne's brother, George Hugo, has likewise appeared in the divorce court against his wife, who was a great heiress, a Mile. Dorian. Xot long ago George Hugo appealed t<» the French government to be allowed to exchange his Christian name of "Gcor^V far that of "Vic- tor." borne by his illustrious grandfather. But the government has not until now seen its way to grant leM request. Indeed it la difficult to con- ceive his assumlria; the same style by which his grandfather was known, and should by any chance the demand awe* be conceded, I would suggest that his countrymen should take the same means to distinguish the grandfather from the grandson which old Victor Hugo employed to distinguish th* (real Kapoieoa from his nephew. "The Man of Sedan." whom he was wont U> describe as "Na- poleon the Little." IfGeorge Hugo ever becomes Victor Hugo, at any rate let him be known as "Victor Hugo the Little." Famous Financier Deserts the Lib- eral-Unionist Party. Lord Rothschild's abandonment of the adminis- tration and the transfer of his political allegiance to the Liberal party constitute a very serious loss to the government. For, while the yreat financier does not influence votes by means of his territorial possessions, whin are small compared with those of a number or his fellow members of the House of Lords, yet he commands an enormous amount of political influence, not only in the City of London. but likewise throughout the United Kingdom and abroad, through bis enormous financial. Industrial and commercial interests. Moreover, the bead of taa house of Rothschild Is regarded by many busi- ness men a Great Britain as a species of political barometer of a most safe and sure character, and they Trill be disposed to follow his example, con- vinced that by so doing they will promote the suc- cess of their various undertakings. Lord Rothschild's action In joining the Liberals means that he i- strongly opposed to the projects of Joseph Chamberlain, to which th* Cabinet is now more or less committed, and it is by no means im- probable that he may have been Influenced In tak- ing this step by the arguments and persuasions of Lord oast MI, who Is not only his kinsman by marriage, but also a very close and intimate friend. The Rothschilds have, until now, invariably acted as the financial agents of the administration, no matter whether Liberals or Conservatives were In offlce. For although Lord Rothschild was raised to the peerage en the nomination of the Liberal Premier William E. Gladstone, yet he was a daily visitor nt the noqssj of Lord Beaconsfleld, who was went to have a chat with him every morning when la town before lie dressed. "Xatty" Rothschild and the great statesman's matutinal chocolate making their appearance on the scene about the same time. It v.as through the Rothschilds that Eeaeonsfl*ld mad* his great coup of purchasing Khedive Ismail's Suez Canal shares, which have, virtually given Eng- land th« control of the -anal and of Egypt, and Lord Rothschild was, a.jo, I believe, an executor of the earls win. But the present government is. I hear, bitterly;: incensed by Lord Rothschild's desertion, and es- pecially by the effect which It has created inbas;- ness circles, and under the circumstances It is doubtful whether the Rothschilds will be intrusted with any of the financial operations of the govern- ment as long as the present administration, re- mains in o3lce.

Th« defect was reported to General Chaffee, as chief of staff, and he remarked with some impatience that the condition should not ex- ist.

I NEW BATTLESHIP PLANS.-The chief con- structor or the navy has before him two sets of Plans for Improved battleships. ! Each contemplates ' the heaviest rune for the main batteries and the exclusion of guns of medium calibre. One plan provides for four 12-inch guns and eight 10-inch g 'r MCM C and nothing between those callt.r and .tjun3 or the 3-;nch type. Sucn a ship ia estimated to nave a displacement of IS.OOO ions. Another plan provides fur twelva 12-inch guns, riving a main Dattery of the most formidable type yet designed for a battleship. The problem presented by such a heavy battery is in the increased displacement, it b^ing estimated that a vessel so heavily armed would . displace not lees than CO.OCO tons. There would be on such a ship no gur.3 of medium calt- ure, and. consequently, no need of a superstruct- ure, ihe 3-inch guns a:iri the ::-pouiii;.-rs would fws sufficient to repel torp-;do attack. In both oases it would b»» necessan>' to protect the smokestacks ana the engine rooai hatches with heavy arraor. ARMY MILEAGE.— One* of t^e controversies trowing out of the discussion of the propped re- vision of the army regulations this week has base over a question or mileage. The paragraph adopt- ed by the General Stall has met with a protest rom special staff oißrrrs, who find they are under certain conditions deprived of their ri?ht to mile- age. The refusal of the allowance will be on those occasions when staff officers happen to be travel- ling with troops to which they are not attached, l>;re fflcera ho travelling get actual expenses in- stead of the mileage of eight cents a mile, and it .3 considered consistent that staff officers travailing under identical conditions shall be similarly paid. ARTILLERY AMMTTXITIOX.-Orders win be is- sued from ;iio War Department in a few days an- nouncing the allowance of. ammunition for the target practice of coast artillery. The allowance fcr sub-calibre ammunition has been increased, as has* also that for mortars, \u25a0with which type of coast defence armament it is deemtd Important there should be more extensive tiring. The allow- ance for the heavy rifles of th» coast forts re- mains the same. Under this new allotment it will be possible to increase the practice firing at all coast fortifications. GOOD water FOR Mri>TT7A. -One of tha pre- cautions taken at the manoeuvre camps In Vir- ginia, will the provision of *oou water for the troops engaged on the work. The War Department Cfflclala have authorized the digeirg of wells. from which th» water will b* plp*dto the various camps. fne good springs and streams? will also M drawn upon.

ATTEMPT TO STEAL. ELECTION. Tie morning after the -lection the Buffalo newspapers announced the defeat of the two leading Sheehan candidates, and at the same time recorded the suspicious facts that returns from seme of the Demc-ratic "Ktronj'aolds were being held back, in violation of !a-.v. by the Sheets inspectors, and that gome mysterious moT \u25a0 - cf the Sheehan leaders were fol- lowed by offers to bet that Love a:vJ Kissel! had won. On following days appear articles with "hot" headlines, denouncing the attempt of the Sheehan -gang" to steal the election. Jlr. Sheehan was not in Buffalo when these flares dsr.unciationg appeared. "The Buffalo Express." which had been taking an active part In the fight against Sir. Sheehan. published long accounts of the situation. Here are a few extracts from the articles of November 10: Never before in the history of Buffalo has ea disgraceful, so bald, no glaring, so determined so apparent an effort been made to defraud the peopie cf their expressed will as the Democrats . undertook yesterday and are still pro6*.-utirff Ihey ere trying to steal the oT"»s of District Attorney and auperint«Tispnt of Education The \u25a0\u25a0 anti-*«he<»hanites and the *heehanlTes», the repr.- j table ard disreputable, have Joined hands in this endeavor.

The reason for the examination of Okonletrsfcl came out in court the '*"ing day. when the 1 ballots which ha- 1 brers cast in his district were : found in the ballot box and were counted in j open court. Through the stupid blunderinsr of I the inspector in destroying the unused ballots J and returning to the box the voted ballots, when i he had been ordered to do exactly th* opposite, enabled the Republican lawyers to show the Democratic steal in open court. William H. j HotchkiES. one of the counsel, had gone to Okor.JpwskJ's house to tell him he probably j would have to make a new count of the votes. ; "What's the \u25a0-\u25a0 of a new count?" said the j Pc> Th* old idiots weren't destroyed."

Several of the inspectors who had bern arrratefi were indicted, and a few of - tV^; actually were brought to trial. Lieutenant .Governor Sheehan appeared In person as coun- for some of the latter, and defended them wills all the vigor he possessed. No jury could . found to convict any of the men. . In tha rpnnjr of IS9-'J there was another ap- rarest outbreak of pcpiiiar feeling against Mr. Sheehi:i because of the passage through the IfCMaittns of the so-cailed "Dogcatcher act." A ulli for ifc*» appcintnient of an official do« ratcliT in Buffalo had })er?n drawn so deftly that it conUin«i a provision for the reorcaniza- t'-cn of the Buffalo police system, la the re- onrar.Szation the i»oiic« of the city were placed v:\iTr the thumb of Mr ebeehan. It was not I'-iiig before there were hints in newspaper co;- Wnr»« that violators of the excise law and gam- k'.-iTB in Lur.aio were receiving police protection, ,bet p.o charges of rraff were made openly. It lme notorious that gamMers combined •taair intcxests and occupied rooms together in one building- in a prominent street of the city. »"wr»mn£ th*»lr *;rirnes with email effort at con- - »»eln.tut and apparently uithout police lnter- •rnnce.

He called a eoaf*rtnice of his ter.chram., including Bcheu and SheriU U^cls. hut tfco true reports of the secret talk were not allersred to cet into the news- pjr-tra. POLICE PEJIMITTED REIGN OF TERROR. ,' In the bast, the failure of the police to pro- l«rt pmpexty •\u25a0r'-sts and guard th* safety of dttzrns become a afreet scandal. Burglaries >*!\u25a0* nmncrwis. Highwaymen roamed the .street* at u!gt:t, toldlnff up and robbing men **• woisea. Mavnjr citizen* were afrali to go about the street* at late hours unless they were armed. Samples of the newspaper head- lines of those days are the following: highwaymen: The Streets Are Ccntrolied by Them While the Police Attend to Politics. CROOKS 1 PARADISE. \u25a0 Is and Burglars Everywhere, the PoUtJ- cal Police Nowhere. Following is an extract from a "News" article of October 10, lbOC: Another despicable crime was committed In this city lust night when Mrs. Wllbert Keye. livingen Military Road, it North Buffalo, was attacked by thuS s and robbed of 519 on OSWonable Linwood-avc. The robbery was so boldly committed that the police think the rot>r>e.rs are the same who held up and robbed Cashier Mcßain cf $tBOO last week. It really otdns to look as if thugs and highwaymen can cany on their dangerous work in any part of tfce city without fc-ar of molestation from the pchce. on the same page beftins with ::g: Th daring: footpads, who have been do'nr such Tvholesalo work In this city during the last month while the Pclicf Department has been elect ioneering, successfully held up another man in the very heart of the city early this morn- ine;. Edward Crosa, of South Mills, N T. was on nis way dowa Wells-st. to the New- York Central depot shortly before 3 o'clock, when he was held up hy two men and relieved ° hIS told vrmtcb ar.d all his ir.onfy. On another page is a political story contain- ing: the following- paragraph: ••Boss" Sheen*;, was hustling about among his Uetrtenanta yesterday, giving instructions ar<j watching the movements of his confidential advisers. He was at the county convention, but wns discreet enough to allow his satrapa to do the ark of reading off his list of candidates. The officeholders and advisers of the boss did th * ir wor» according to prearranged plans with :i*»urancs and boldness, but in a listless kind of way. The formation of an Independent Democratic organization to fight Mr. Sheehan by placing la th firM third candidates for alderman, aided in th» crushing defeat of the boss in the election of 1523. Mr. Sheehan"* lieutenants made a strong bat losinsr fight agalnot permitting the names of the Home Rule Democracy candidates to appear on the official ballot. Large mass meetings cf the Home Rule Democracy were held, at which Sheehan nU« in Buffalo was de- nounced vigorously. SHEEHAX ix CIVIL SERVICE FRAUD. Disclosures in an investigation of frauds In the Civil Service examinations for places on the police force contributed to Mr. Sheehan's down- fa!;. Charges that wholesale frauds In the ex- am ••lons, by which many of Mr. Sheahan's political tools were able to get on th« police force, had been made. It was brought out in the investigation that copies of the Civil Service examination papers were supplied to them tn advance. Following is an extract from "The News" account of a seaefoa of the investis-auou held on October -G. 1S03: The Investigation into the police Civil Servlo* examination frauds brought out more than was expected yesterday. Enough evidence »\u25a0«« given to show that it was \u25a0 Bheetw political game r>ur«! and simple. After "Th« News" report closed last evening, the next wltnesi sworn waa George Patterson. He in esntam of the ferry- boat Sloen. He was mi applicant for police ex- amination, and was one of the number who hr . 3 fraudulent papers. -Where did you gat those papers?" asked Mr W heeler. "Johnny Sheehan," came th» answer, clear and distinct. "When did give them to you?" "On the afternoon before the examination." 'How did you com* to net them?" -He ride* en my bo*t a good deal, and on the day before the examination he was on my boat and I said. 'Weil, to-night's the time we get hell.' Then he gave me th« papers." "Did Sheehan say anything to you when he handed you the paper*?" "Xo, he har.aed me the papers and then steered tha boat for me while I read them." Young Sheehan was arrested on October 31 on a warrant, but be was admitted to bail promptly, and later was discharged. TIN News ' of November 2 had a police article, be- ginning: ThT« ye-ms to no limit to the barefaced bulldozing of the Sheehan police fore*. Polit- ical blackmail and coercion are being- practised wherever there is a chance to force a vote for the =ne«han candidates. Desn-ibing' the result of the election In which Mr. Sheehan's power was overthrown, "The Xewß" said on November % 1593: The Sneehans have pawed! Never In the his- tory of the city has such a rebuke been admin- istered to a political party by the good people of Buffalo. The machine has not a victory to throw a ray of hope Into their wrecked camp. The £heehan sneaks are routed all alone the line. NEW- YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. MONDAY. AUGUST 15. 1 ARMY AND NAVY NEWS. 'ices. different from, thaw with which the Berlin War De- partaaat was called trpoa «• deal in XS73. His third son. Prince Adalbert, is already la the Far East watching the naval operations, and from tlie deck of the German cruiser on. which he Is serving as lieutenant at Che-Foo he can hear every day the thunder of the seas at Port Arthur. Aad now the Kaiser Is sewlliia; two more princes of his bouse to th* seat of war. namely, his brother- in-law, Prluee Frederick Leopold of Prussia, who Is general of cavalry, and the only son of the late Prince Frederick Charles— the "Red Prince"— to whom Marshal Bazalne surrendered Metx in 15T0. \u25a0 Ut* the other Is Prince Charles Anthony of Hohecsollem, a younger brother of tha Crown Prince of Rumania, and married ta Princess Jose- phine of Belgium. Prince Charles Anthony Is a son of that Prince Leopold of Hohensollera whaaa candidature for the throne of Spain brought about the Franco-Prussian War of ISTi), and he is to be attached to Japanese headquarters In the field, whereas Prince Frederick Leopold of Prussia, who has travelled extensively In this country. in India and China, has been assigned to tie staff of the Russian generalissimo, Kuropatkln. The fact that these two princes should now be starting for the Far East shows clearly that neither the Kaiser nor the military experts at Bur; in regard th& war as drawing near to its ter- mination, but that, on the contrary, they are of the opinion that the hostilities will be prolonged for a considerable time to come. The other royal personages at the seat of war at the present moment are Grand Duka Boris, of Russia. Prince Jalm* of Bourbon, oaly son of the Spanish Pretender. Don Carlos, and th* tatter's sister. Princes* Alice, the divorced wife) of Prince Frederick of Schansburg-Waldenber*-, th* princess being attached to the ambulance department of tha Russian army. Neither Prince Frederick Leopold of Prussia, who is married to a younger sister of tha Empress, nor Prince Charles Anthony of HohenroUcm. who la a clever young staff officer, runs much risk of harm or of losing his life while fallowing the opera- tions at the seat of war. In, fact, the only peril which they will be called upon to confront is that of^iciness. MARQUISE DE FONTENOT. SlCU—Credit f.yonaaia ' ' GSNJTif A—Lombard, Odler •<"•.. aad X^iloa Ban*.

ItIs Ewperor Nicholas who Hk« his father be-fore him shields Count Tolstoy from a.l persecu-tion on the part of the authorities. The famousauthor's revolutionary writings would lens erethis have brought down upon Mi head all sorts

of rlfjnriiuameasures en the part of the govern-ment, had it not been for cba regard which Nich-olas Hi like Aiexr.nder 111. entertains for the aMmaster of Tasnaja Polyana. and It has becomeknown {hat on tha occasion of t. . last interviewbetween the Czar and M. Plehve, just a weekbefore the tetter*! murder, the Minister had sub-mitted to the Em|»fir a proposal for the deporta-tion of Tolstoy to the monastery prison of Solovetskhear Archangel, and for his detention there, butthat Nicholas had declined In spite of tin* urgent

pleadings of Plehve. to give his sanction to themeasure.

Eventually h* will become very rich again.

through the dcuth of him aunt, Adela Hugo, th«only surviving daughter of the front poet. Sh«

ekp'd with an Ensllsh cnVer to India from Jer-sey when Victor Hugo was livingin exile there.

Married without th* French legal formalities, and

her union therefore unrecognized by French law.

her wedded lif» was sal unhappy, and her mla«lgave way under tho strain. Bar husband died

about twor.ty years a*o at Singapore, an., ever

tinea her return to France, longbetore bet father"*death the cas been confined in a private esyiura

share la the poet's fortune and in tha ownership

of the copyright of his works betas judicion»ly

administered by trustees, so that she ia. n.iw pos-

sessed of great wealth, which, on her demis-, win

be divided in equal shares between her nephew.

George, nnd her neice. Jeanne Charcot.

"While George is ridiculed for making use of the

title of count in conjunction with a name no celt»-

brateU as that of his grandfather, he la legally

justified in so doing. The poet's father, GeneralSlslsbert Hugo, was created a count by Napoleon

Ifor services on tha battlefield. The general had

three sons, of w".om the youngest. Victor, was

the famous p<xt. Th« second, Eugene, died a

bachelor, while the eldest, AN.'l. who succeededto his father \u25a0 tin \u25a0 of count, died leaving an only

chlM, the late Count Leopold Hugo. Leopold died

without any Male Issue, his title therefore com-

ing to nia cousin, George H'igo. a» son of thepoet's eldest son, the '.ate Charles Hugo. Leopold,

however, left an Illegitimate, daughter, who bearsthe. name 'if Clementine, and who after \u25a0 moststormy and adventurous career under the name of

"Countess Hugo," In Germany. France and Italy,

is now undenrolns- a term of penal »»rvitudf> furfraud in one of the great Italian penitentiaries.

Since his early boyhood. George Hugo, whomakes us* of the title of "count" and of a count'scoronet, has been a source of trouble to hisfamily and of dismay to his grandfathers ad-mirers. II- was obliged to leave the French navyon account of misconduct, and ho had no soonerccme of agf» than his relative* were compelled tosubject U!r.» to Judicial tutelage, in order to set

some curb upon his hisann extravagance. Hisnoxt appearance ln the courts was in connection

with a suit brought against him by a well known

lasses' tailor at Parts for good* furnished to theMarquise de H--. George Hugo had indorsed the!a»ly« account with a definite written promise topay. but when asked to settle declined, on theground that he was no longer on terms of In-timacy with the IHIIHHsW. a married woman, and

that his responsibility for the account could notbo enforced by law. since it constituted an im-moral obligation.

Some three or four years ago ha \u25a0 i-< knockeddown a the crowded foyer of tin ComMie Fran-

chise by his brother hilaw. Dr. Jean Charcot.physician of the late Cornelius Vanderbilt, forgrossly irrsulting in tho theatra his only sister,Jeanne, the wife of Dr. Chare-it. Having ranthrough his entire frrtune. and bavins] been pre-

vent *>d by the courts from dissipating in Us en-tirety the fortune o£ tne heiress whom he married,

ha now lives at Florence on an allowance mude to

Win by his lately.

The announcement published far and wide in theEnglish and foreign newspapers to the effect thatVictor Hugo's granddaughter Jeanne, known toft.me In connection with the poet's work 'LArtd'Etre Grandp*r*.

"has once more appeared in the

divorce courts at Paris to secure the dissolutionof her marriage to Alfred Edwards is rather mis-leading and based upon a misapprehension. ItIsperfectly true that Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Edwards,who are near relatives to the late ex-Premier.Waldeck -Rousseau, have been airing their matri-monial trouble* In the divorce oourt. But Mm*Edwards is not Jeanne Hugo, but the daughter ofthe famous nerve specialist Charcot. and Isupposethat the confusion arises from the fact that JeanneHugo's last husband wan Dr. Jean Charcot. thatIs to say, the brother of lime, Edwards.

There is snme excuse, however, for the mistake,as there is no family of any note In Franca whichhas had more frequent recourse to the tribunals,and especially to the divorce court, In recent yearsthan that of the- poet Victor Hugo. Jeanne Hugo.before being married to Dr. Charcot, was the wifeof Leon Daudet. son of the famoua novelistAlphanse Daudet, the union belnjr dissolved by thecourts; while Jeanne's brother, George Hugo, haslikewise appeared in the divorce court against hiswife, who was a great heiress, a Mile. Dorian.

Xot long ago George Hugo appealed t<» theFrench government to be allowed to exchangehis Christian name of "Gcor^V far that of "Vic-tor." borne by his illustrious grandfather. Butthe government has not until now seen its wayto grant leM request. Indeed it la difficult to con-ceive his assumlria; the same style by which hisgrandfather was known, and should by any chancethe demand awe* be conceded, Iwould suggest thathis countrymen should take the same means todistinguish the grandfather from the grandson

which old Victor Hugo employed to distinguish th*(real Kapoieoa from his nephew. "The Man ofSedan." whom he was wont U> describe as "Na-poleon the Little." IfGeorge Hugo ever becomesVictor Hugo, at any rate let him be known as"Victor Hugo the Little."

Famous Financier Deserts the Lib-eral-Unionist Party.

Lord Rothschild's abandonment of the adminis-tration and the transfer of his politicalallegianceto the Liberal party constitute a very serious lossto the government. For, while the yreat financierdoes not influence votes by means ofhis territorialpossessions, whin are small compared with thoseof a number or his fellow members of the House ofLords, yet he commands an enormous amount ofpolitical influence, not only in the City of London.but likewise throughout the United Kingdom andabroad, through bis enormous financial. Industrialand commercial interests. Moreover, the bead oftaa house of Rothschild Is regarded by many busi-ness men a Great Britain as a species of politicalbarometer of a most safe and sure character, andthey Trill be disposed to follow his example, con-vinced that by so doing they willpromote the suc-cess of their various undertakings.

Lord Rothschild's action In joining the Liberalsmeans that he i- strongly opposed to the projectsof Joseph Chamberlain, to which th*Cabinet is nowmore or less committed, and it is by no means im-probable that he may have been Influenced In tak-ing this step by the arguments and persuasions ofLord oast MI, who Is not only his kinsman bymarriage, but also a very close and intimate friend.

The Rothschilds have, until now, invariably actedas the financial agents of the administration, nomatter whether Liberals or Conservatives were Inofflce. For although Lord Rothschild was raisedto the peerage en the nomination of the LiberalPremier William E. Gladstone, yet he was a dailyvisitor nt the noqssj of Lord Beaconsfleld, who waswent to have a chat with him every morning whenla town before lie dressed. "Xatty"Rothschild andthe great statesman's matutinal chocolate makingtheir appearance on the scene about the same time.Itv.as through the Rothschilds that Eeaeonsfl*ld

mad* his great coup of purchasing Khedive Ismail'sSuez Canal shares, which have, virtually given Eng-land th« control of the -anal and of Egypt, andLord Rothschild was, a.jo, Ibelieve, an executorof the earls win. •

But the present government is. Ihear, bitterly;:incensed by Lord Rothschild's desertion, and es-pecially by the effect which Ithas created inbas;-ness circles, and under the circumstances It isdoubtful whether the Rothschilds will be intrustedwith any of the financial operations of the govern-ment as long as the present administration, re-mains in o3lce.

A BAD FlT.—Complaint has reached the War De-partment from Fort Wlngaie, New-Mexico, as a re-sult of the Inspection at that post, that the new dressraps worn did not fit the men well, and at the re-v.«iw th* ground was strewn with caps which hadfallen off. Th« defect was reported to GeneralChaffee, as chief of staff, and he remarked withsome impatience that the condition should not ex-ist. He paid, in his official communication: 'Iftn# caps Ml off. as reported, it is the fault of thetroop commanders; the caps did not at the men."

I NEW BATTLESHIP PLANS.-The chief con-structor or the navy has before him two sets ofPlans for Improved battleships. !Each contemplates'the heaviest rune for the main batteries and theexclusion of guns of medium calibre. One planprovides for four 12-inch guns and eight 10-inchg 'r MCMC and nothing between those callt.r and .tjun3or the 3-;nch type. Sucn a ship ia estimated tonave a displacement of IS.OOO ions. Another planprovides fur twelva 12-inch guns, riving a mainDattery of the most formidable type yet designedfor a battleship. The problem presented by sucha heavy battery is in the increased displacement,it b^ing estimated that a vessel so heavily armedwould .displace not lees than CO.OCO tons. Therewould be on such a ship no gur.3 of medium calt-ure, and. consequently, no need of a superstruct-ure, ihe 3-inch guns a:iri the ::-pouiii;.-rs wouldfws sufficient to repel torp-;do attack. Inboth oasesit would b»» necessan>' to protect the smokestacksana the engine rooai hatches with heavy arraor.

ARMY MILEAGE.—One* of t^e controversiestrowing out of the discussion of the propped re-vision of the army regulations this week has baseover a question or mileage. The paragraph adopt-ed by the General Stall has met with a protest•rom special staff oißrrrs, who find they are undercertain conditions deprived of their ri?ht to mile-age. The refusal of the allowance willbe on thoseoccasions when staff officers happen to be travel-ling with troops to which they are not attached,l>;re fflcera ho travelling get actual expenses in-stead of the mileage of eight cents a mile, and it.3 considered consistent that staff officers travailingunder identical conditions shall be similarly paid.

ARTILLERY AMMTTXITIOX.-Orders win be is-sued from ;iio War Department in a few days an-nouncing the allowance of. ammunition for thetarget practice of coast artillery. The allowancefcr sub-calibre ammunition has been increased, ashas* also that for mortars, \u25a0with which type ofcoast defence armament it is deemtd Importantthere should be more extensive tiring. The allow-ance for the heavy rifles of th» coast forts re-mains the same. Under this new allotment it willbe possible to increase the practice firing at allcoast fortifications.

GOOD water FOR Mri>TT7A. -One of tha pre-cautions taken at the manoeuvre camps In Vir-ginia, will b« the provision of *oou water for thetroops engaged on the work.

PROOF FOUND IN BALLOT BOX.

The reason for the examination of Okonletrsfclcame out in court the '*"ing day. when the 1ballots which ha- 1 brers cast in his district were :found in the ballot box and were counted in jopen court. Through the stupid blunderinsr of Ithe inspector in destroying the unused ballots Jand returning to the box the voted ballots, when ihe had been ordered to do exactly th* opposite,

enabled the Republican lawyers to show theDemocratic steal in open court. William H. jHotchkiES. one of the counsel, had gone to •

Okor.JpwskJ's house to tell him he probably jwould have to make a new count of the votes. ;

The laying tire of '.he plot to steal the elec-tion created terne additional excitement and in-

tion of th& \u2666tlfcction officers who had taken part

.Jn the frauds. Several of the inspectors whohad bern arrratefi were indicted, and a few of

- tV^;actually were brought to trial. Lieutenant.Governor Sheehan appeared In person as coun-

for some of the latter, and defended them

wills all the vigor he possessed. No jury could.b« found to convict any of the men.. In tha rpnnjr of IS9-'J there was another ap-• rarest outbreak of pcpiiiar feeling against Mr.

Sheehi:i because of the passage through theIfCMaittns of the so-cailed "Dogcatcher act." Aulli for ifc*» appcintnient of an official do«ratcliT in Buffalo had })er?n drawn so deftly

Following is an extract from a "News" articleof October 10, lbOC:

Another despicable crime was committed Inthis city lust night when Mrs. Wllbert Keye.livingen Military Road, it North Buffalo, wasattacked by thuS s and robbed of 519 onOSWonable Linwood-avc. The robbery was soboldly committed that the police think therot>r>e.rs are the same who held up and robbedCashier Mcßain cf $tBOO last week.

••Boss" Sheen*;, was hustling about amonghis Uetrtenanta yesterday, giving instructionsar<j watching the movements of his confidentialadvisers. He was at the county convention, butwns discreet enough to allow his satrapa to dothe ark of reading off his list of candidates.The officeholders and advisers of the boss didth*ir wor» according to prearranged plans with:i*»urancs and boldness, but in a listless kind ofway.

The formation of an Independent Democraticorganization to fight Mr. Sheehan by placing lath firM third candidates for alderman, aidedin th» crushing defeat of the boss in the electionof 1523. Mr. Sheehan"* lieutenants made astrong bat losinsr fight agalnot permitting thenames of the Home Rule Democracy candidatesto appear on the official ballot. Large massmeetings cf the Home Rule Democracy wereheld, at which Sheehan nU« in Buffalo was de-nounced vigorously.SHEEHAX ix CIVIL SERVICE FRAUD.Disclosures in an investigation of frauds In

the Civil Service examinations for places on thepolice force contributed to Mr. Sheehan's down-fa!;. Charges that wholesale frauds In the ex-am ••lons, by which many of Mr. Sheahan'spolitical tools were able to get on th« policeforce, had been made. It was brought out inthe investigation that copies of the Civil Serviceexamination papers were supplied to them tnadvance. Following is an extract from "TheNews" account of a seaefoa of the investis-auouheld on October -G. 1S03:

The Investigation into the police Civil Servlo*examination frauds brought out more than wasexpected yesterday. Enough evidence »\u25a0«« givento show that it was \u25a0 Bheetw political gamer>ur«! and simple. After "Th« News" reportclosed last evening, the next wltnesi sworn waaGeorge Patterson.

-Where did you gat those papers?" asked MrW heeler.

"Johnny Sheehan," came th» answer, clearand distinct."When did h» give them to you?""On the afternoon before the examination."'How did you com* to net them?"-He ride* en my bo*t a good deal, and on theday before the examination he was on my boatand Isaid. 'Weil, to-night's the time we get

hell.' Then he gave me th« papers.""Did Sheehan say anything to you when he

handed you the paper*?""Xo, he har.aed me the papers and thensteered tha boat for me while Iread them."Young Sheehan was arrested on October 31

on a warrant, but be was admitted to bailpromptly, and later was discharged. TINNews

'of November 2 had a police article, be-

ginning:

ThT« ye-ms to b» no limit to the barefacedbulldozing of the Sheehan police fore*. Polit-ical blackmail and coercion are being- practisedwherever there is a chance to force a vote forthe =ne«han candidates.

Desn-ibing' the result of the election In whichMr. Sheehan's power was overthrown, "TheXewß" said on November % 1593:

The Sneehans have pawed! Never Inthe his-tory of the city has such a rebuke been admin-istered to a political party by the good peopleof Buffalo.

Aadnow the Kaiser Is sewlliia; two more princes ofhis bouse to th* seat of war. namely, his brother-in-law, Prluee Frederick Leopold of Prussia, whoIs general of cavalry, and the only son of thelate Prince Frederick Charles— the "Red Prince"—to whom Marshal Bazalne surrendered Metx in15T0. \u25a0 Ut* the other Is Prince Charles Anthony ofHohecsollem, a younger brother of tha CrownPrince of Rumania, and married ta Princess Jose-phine of Belgium. Prince Charles Anthony Is ason of that Prince Leopold of Hohensollera whaaacandidature for the throne of Spain broughtabout the Franco-Prussian War of ISTi), and he isto be attached to Japanese headquarters In thefield, whereas Prince Frederick Leopold of Prussia,

who has travelled extensively In this country. inIndia and China, has been assigned to tie staffof the Russian generalissimo, Kuropatkln.

The fact that these two princes should now bestarting for the Far East shows clearly thatneither the Kaiser nor the military experts atBur;in regard th& war as drawing near to its ter-mination, but that, on the contrary, they are of theopinion that the hostilities willbe prolonged for aconsiderable time to come.

The other royal personages at the seat of war atthe present moment are Grand Duka Boris, ofRussia. Prince Jalm* of Bourbon, oaly son of theSpanish Pretender. Don Carlos, and th* tatter'ssister. Princes* Alice, the divorced wife) of PrinceFrederick of Schansburg-Waldenber*-, th* princessbeing attached to the ambulance department of thaRussian army.

Neither Prince Frederick Leopold of Prussia, whois married to a younger sister of tha Empress, norPrince Charles Anthony of HohenroUcm. who la aclever young staff officer, runs much risk of harmor of losing his life while fallowing the opera-tions at the seat of war. In, fact, the only peril

which they willbe called upon to confront is thatof^iciness. MARQUISE DE FONTENOT.
