THE ALABAMA CLAIMS. Alabama
claims seem to be more than ever disturbing
the English mind. An article in yesterday S
London Times intimates that If Mr. Motley
were to propose the reopening Of negotiations
at Washington the proposal would be accepted
This is an indication Of growing anxiety on
the part Of the British government to have the
question settled.

THE EMPRESS EUGENE AND FATHER HYA-
cINTHE.-A cable despatch from Paris has it
that the Empress Eugene has instructed her
chamberlain to await the arrival Of Father
Hyacinthe at Havre and dissuade him from
preaching in Paris. What does it mean? Who
is in danger Father Hyacinthe, the Pope or
Napoleon?

Tho Church Militant.

Our latest news from Rome relates to mill
tary review. The Pontifical Zouaves were
exhibited, and they displayed their skill in the
presence of sixty thousand spectators, includ-
ing five hundred bishops. This is the latest
and most showy view the world has had of the
Church. st. Peter, we know, was good
swordsman. William Tell was not q better
marksman. Tell, by his arrow, took away the
apple without killing his boy. Peter, by his
sword, struck off an ear without killing the
high priests unfortunate servant. On that
occasion, however, Peter was rebuked ssPut
away thy sword into his place; for all they
that take the sword shall perish by the sword" !"
was the stern and emphatic language of the
Master Peters successors have always been
fond of the sword. Pic Mono, 1t is manifest,
does not despise it. But the Pope is the Vicar
of Christ, and, according to some good people,
infallible. Which is right? Christ or the
Vicar? Or rather which is infallible? If they
that use the sword are to perish by the sword,
where is the wisdom of this military review,
and what is to be the fate Of the Pope and his
friends? 1t is funny thing, this military
review in Rome, when looked al in the light of
history. II is funnier still when looked at in
the light Of Scripture

On THE HOUSE ToP.--Who owns the roof
of a mans premises? This is a question now
before one Of our courts. In house with an
extension not SO high as the main building
the tenant Of the upper story, whose windows
were on level with the roof Of the extension,
was in possession of that roof, when suddenly
one day the occupant of the extension came
through the roof making skylghts DC. Does
the occupant of the extension own his own
roof2 Can the tenant Of the third story be
driven from the roof in front of her windows? |?
II is fine little fight in the Colonie Francaise.

WALL STREET-THE GOLD EXCITEMENT. =
Much curiosity was manifested yesterday
morning by the ''bulls" and 'bears" to learn
what action Secretary Boutwell, would take in
the matter OF selling gold as proposed in his
programme Of sales. The amount offered
was million, but the bids were for total of
less than half that amount. AS he had pre-
viously refused bids below 122 the Gold Room
was feverishly anxious as to his decision in
the present instance, the best bid to-day
being 12l.52. He accepted, however, and
sold all that was proposed for, to the great
CONSERVATION of the ''bulls." Afterwards the
price declined, amid great excitement. to 1904,
which is the lowest figure since September,
1862. The bulls" were, Of course, greatly
indignant.

RUAORED ALLIANCE AGAINST THE
UNITED STATES.

A considerable sensation has been
created. Throughout the country BY a dis.
patch, reading as follows, sent on the
18th by cable from London to the New
York Tribune:
initial steps have been taken for an alliance Often
siVe anu defensive, between England, France and
Spain against the United States the Of the
ALABAMA treaty. the tone Of Mr.. Summers speech the
aeSea anoaserng tendencies of Gen. Grants Ad
hons nom the United States against Cuba, being
m"de tho pretxt for such an alliance.
Nothing official looking to such a Goa:
ition, has boon received BY tho gov
eminent. BY somo the probable truth
OF the report is maintained, while by
most it is considered merely as 4 move
to affect bonds.
In all probability there is no actual
foundation for such rumor. The r.
laticns Of France with Prussia are not
Of such nature as to make that nation
DESTROYS Of assuming hostile attitude
toward the United States. Russia
stands as a continual meuauce toward
England, and ireland hangs IS a fire.
brand upon her borders, waiting but
for favorable opportunity to strike
for independence. Poor, imbeclle
Spain would be certain, in the event Of
war With this country, to lose that
island gem for which it would take up
arms, Cuba.
Be this report as it may, all that this
government las to do is to maintain a
firm, honorable position, neither pro-
voking hostilities nor shrinking from
any responsibility. A war is not at all
desirable, nor is it very probable. A
European alliance could with difficulty
be formed that would venture to hazard
q war with the United States.
