Put plainly, the English delegates will say Your quarantine proposals are useless. Get clean and the plague will not attack you. The notoriously unsanitary state of Ital- ian towns, the dirty habits of the people, the filihiness of the Russians, and the de- fects of sanitation in Austria and Ger- many, and even French centers, as com- pared with the English, will give pcirt to the English contention. Spasmodic san!- tation efforts were mede at the time of the last cholera visitation in Germany, Italy and other Continental countries, but since then tne international measures have been generally 1gnored. The council of the social-democratic federation is arranging a popular demon- stration over the Indian famine fund scanda There really seems 1o be a con- spiracy of silence on the part of the lead- ing London papers regard:ng the misap- propriation of the vast sum of £17,000,000, raised by additional taxation in India, to provide for the inevitable recurring fam- ines. A circular issued by-tbe socialist council points out that this famine fund was started on the hypothesis that every ten years £15.000,000 would be required to relieve a famine; that the popuiation of India hasincreased in the last ten years by 30.(00,000; that the huge sum of 200,000,000 rupees is now paid annuaily to Engiish officials, military and civilian; that the appreciation of gold and the de- preciation of silver, with the stoppage of the coining of silver at the mints, have in- | volved the population in common ruin, | and that English greed and misrule is the cause of the famine.

Y., Feb. 6.—The one hundred and nineteenth anniversary of the signing of the treaty of alliance be- tween France and the American colonies was celebrated to-night by the Empire State Society of Sons of the American | Revolution with a banquet at Delmoni- co’s. Fully 250 members and their guests were present. The decorations consisted entirely of the Fremch and American colors entwined. Owing to the abs-nce of Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, president of | the society, who was kept at home by a ght indisposition, Walter A. Logan pre- sided. After grace had been said and before the guests had taken their seats Mr. Lo- {gan announced that, on motion of Mr. | Depew, the following cablegram would be isu o President Kaure of the Krench re- public.

I can say that a residende of nearly four years among the French people has ouly in- | tusified my respect and admiration for them. { They il. ustrate in their character and in their achievements many of the highest qualities fof the worid. The iove of liberty, in behalf of | which they have shed oceans of blood, is in- herent in them and I believe that the attach- | ment of the great masses of them to free gov- ernment is as sincere and as fixed as that of | te American. | There are many,very many points of re- semb.ance and sympathy between ourselves and the French nation, and I am sure that with proper effort, the’ ties which now biud ‘ the two great republics of the worid together cou d be strengiliened and multiplied, to the | immense adva: tage ot both and with distinct R#in to the causes of civilization, progress and £00d government the Woriu uver. The Freuch Parliameut has already with unanimity signified its desire that a general | treaty of arbitration between France and the | United States should be made. Surely the American people are ready to respond with like unanimity to this cordial overture of peace and good will. Lot such a treaty be made; let it be supplied by a convention | which shall assure to the United States the | benefit of the “favored nation.” so far as the | admission of our proincts to French markets | is concerned; let the United States be repre. | sentod atthe great internationel exposition in {1900 in & mauner worthy of her greatness, | and the werm relations between these two na- | tions, which have never beer interrupted for | a single moment since the execution of the | original treaty in 1777. will be so strength- | ened and fortified as to insure to each of them afuturericn in_the blessings of moral ad- vancementund material prosperity. 1 have been very happy 10 co-operate with you in bringing this enterprise of inter- na jonal patriotism to the attention of the Jeading representatives of the French Govern- | ment and ot the descendents of Laiayette, | Rochambenu and De Grasse, as well as to the | lending expdrents of iiteraiure, science and art.

I am glad to eay, however, tunt his illness, while seri- ous'enough to prevent his being here, 15 notserious enough to give alarm to his friends.” Dr. John 8.

Sensational Testimony of a Female Stenog- rapher Whose Character Is R flected Upon. CHICAGO, 1rz., Feb. 6.—During the trial to-day of Alderman O'Malley and John Sentry, charged with the murder of Gus Coliander, Miss Shirley, the stenogra- pher in the State Attorney’s office, who is alleged to have furnished Attorney For- rest, counsel for O'Malley, with notes taken at a private examination of Btate I very much svpreciate | and wish to thauk you for the invitation you | witnesses by Assistant State Attorney Pierson, testified that her notes were cor- rect. While cross-examining Miss Shirley State Attorney Dineen put his questions in such a manner that they might have been construed into an attack upon the reputation of the witness. Attorney For- rest objected, and after the jury had been excluded State Attorney Dineen attacked the character of Miss Shirley, making ac- cusations of ‘a starthng-and cruel char- acter. The attorneys for the defense protested and Judge Tuley refused to allow evidence against the moral character of Miss Shir- ley to be admirted. ifis! Shirley accused the State Attorney and Mr. Pierson, his assistant, of having ordered her to doctor tbe transcript of the shorthand notes she had taken of Wiiness Smith’sinterview with the State Attorney. She swore that Mr. Pierson ordered her to omit all “side” questions and ihe d fense alléges that this proves Smith w: tutored in bis testimony. Attorney Forrest jumped to his feet and shonted: *1 demand the disbarment of Mr. Dineen.” The State Attorney openly talks of bribery being resorted to by the defense to get Miss Shirley’s testimony. The State intends to bring in testimony impeaching the woman'’s version of the Smith interview, but it is understood that Mr. Dineen’s refusal to admit the inter- view as true will work in faver of O'Mal- ley’s acquittal. e THE BIG RAILROAD TRUST. A Report That the Big Four Is Leading a Stampede to Smash It and the Rates. CHICAGO, I1v., Feb. 6.—1It is reported here that the joint traffic trust of Eastern railroads leading from Chicago and St. Louis to the Atlantic seaboard is practi- cally dissolved. The trust controlled al solutely the traflicbetween the Mississippi River and the East. Unable to live on the percentage allotted to it, the Big Four began about ten days ago to pay rebate to shippers. This action was followed by the Penn- sylvania, Michigan Central, Boston and Albany, Clover Leaf, Lake Erie and West- ern, West Shore and Fitchburg railroads, and precipitated a demoralization in rates which has not been egualed in ten years. 1t is said that by the end of the week tke trust will have ceased to exist. BUFFALO, N. Y., Feb. 4 —A represen- tative of the United A=sociated Pres«es in- terviewed a number of railroad officials to-day concerning the report of a threat- | ened breakup of the Joint Traffic Associa- | tion. Among those seen were several who were in attendance on the joint passenger committee meeting here, noue of whom placed uny credence in the report. The bureau of inspection of the associa- | tion in Buffalo was working full swing yesterday as though no report of its pros- pective collapse was in circulation. J. H. Burger, the Buffalo agent of the association, was outof town and his assist- ants had nothing to say about the matter. | Chief Clerk Smith said: “If there was any trouble with the Big Four, the Wa- bash, the Pennsylvania or the Grand | Trunk a meeting of the board of control would have been called long before this, and no such meeting has be-n called.” J. R. Wood, general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania, said that he had not even heard any gossip or reports of the | nature outlined in the Chicago dispatches. | Edwin J. Weeks, formerly of the New | York Central, and now of the Philadel- phia and Reading, has not heard of any trounle, and said the report was untrue. L. N. Jarvis of the Traders’ D.spatch gave the report a similar reception. He said he especially doubted the Big Four had broken away, as Ingalls was practi- cally the father of the association and was deeply interested in the Big Four. ——e BLOODSHED IN OKLAHOMA. Terrible Outceme cf a Land Quarrel at Stroude—People of the Town Panic-S ricken. GUTHRIE, O.T., Feb. 6—When com- munication was restored with Stroude to-day, the true details of yesterday’s trouble were obtained. Two weeks ago, while quarreling over land, Jim Griftis was shot and nearly killed and uis father slightly wounded by Henry Lustin. Lustin was arrested, but admitced to bait Wednesday. Griffis and his three sons, accompanied by four othep men, roce into Siroude, and compelled everybody 1o close their stores and hide away, saying there was going to be a battle. Several bours later, as Henry Lustin, his son Everett, Jim Fuber aud Robinson were eniering the town they were ambuscaded and compelled to surrender to the other crowd, who bouna them to horses and rode off 1nto the Creek country with them. Later they released Jim Furber, who returned and said that they had de- clared they would hang Lustin and shoot his son and_Robinson. The people of Stroude were completely terrorized, and most of them bave been afraid to.venture from their hou es since. A posse was organized at Chandler yes- terday to go to the rescue of the three men carried off, but there is little hope of reaching them in the woods and moun- tains of the Creek country, A message from Stroude late this even- ing says a report bad' reached there that Henry Lustin and Robinson have been NEW Not 500000000000} A Mild [CI0CoTC0I0CI0 000000010 COCOO0) Sensation! 0000000000 CCOCO0: OO Not a mild sensation by any means.

CHESTER, P&, Feb. 6.—If the con- ditions remain favorable, it looks to-day as thou -h the cruiser Brooklyn may leave her anchorage at Marcus Hook for the dry- dock of the League Island navy-yard te- morrow afternoon. The stevedores finished unloading the coal from the vessel this morning, ard all the ammunition hasb een taken out. The diver's report shows that the plates have been ripped from a point near the bow to a point under the engine roors, but the damage is confined to the port side. The injury is serious, but it is not as bad as was at first thought from the quantity of water forced into the double- bottom~ compartments. The skin is not damaged and the bolts are not sheared off.
