ago. M. Thouvenel, the French Minister
of Foreign Affairs. transmitted note to
the English Government proposing that
the two Cabinets come to closer under

To this note the English Cabinet sent .
message asking moro explicit statement.
The reply received Was proposition
that England should unite with France
for the purpose Of procuring in the au-
tumn a supply Of tobacco and cotton from

to be a party candidate for Office, in the

spirit. in my opinion, has done more than
anything else to bring about the sad Ca
