LONDON, August 5.-The Times Of
this morning says that the plan of the
COmmander-in-C Chief, General MoItke,
has been recently changed from de-
fensive to an offensive one, and an ad-
vance into France is threatened. 1t is
possible that Prince FreGe * Charles
will push forward and attack Nancy.
sThe fight lat Saarbruck, on Satur-
day, lasted six hours, and on both
sides 600 men were placed hors du
combat. Judging from French ac-
counts the MitraiIleur hassalready de-
cided the war.
The story which recently originated
in France about naval engagement
of Coxhaven, in which a Prussian
war vessel was sunk, is false. There
has been no collision at sea between
France and Prussia thus far.
The French say that the Prussian
needle-gun recOils badly, and that the
marksmen will soon be compelled to
fire from the shoulder. The French
also say the Prussian cavalry carry
old horse pistols, while the French
have carbines of long range and adj
mitting of aim.
LONDON, August 5.-The report that
Saarlouis had been taken by the
French proves unfOunded. The re-
port came from Paris, and is contra
dicted by later dispatches, which say
there has been no fighting yet at that
point.
LONDON, August Sit is under
stood that England is determined to
make the invasion of Belgium q caslts
beLJi. The King of Belgium will sum-
mon powers who guaranteed her neu-
trality to her assistace as soon as her
territory is invaded and England will
respond.
Strenuous efforts will be made by
the Court of Rome to bring the in
fiuence of the Empress Eugenie to
bear effectually against the withdraw
al of French troops which failed, and
to-day the last detachment leaves
Civitia Vecchia.
Negotiations at Florence for the
preservation of neutrality of the
Pontif1cial territory was successful.
1t is reported that England has
sent two frigates to the Tiber, to pro-
tect the passes.
AdviceS from Rome represent the
Jesuits endeavOring to induce the
Pope to remove to Malta.
Collisions between German and
French soldiers in the Papal service
are of constant occurrence. War
news narrowly watched.

three hundred, and the Conservatives

a vast falling off in the Radical vote,

completely redeem Norfolk, Aloxan-

That is sufficient TO show that the

every woman to vote for herself
don't believe in such nonsense, ] have
raised my six boys, and | am going
to have every one vote for me. Those
women who 60 lecturing around the
country instead of raising boys, have
no business to vote anyway. And
when they say that they are just as
good as am, and have a right TO vote
themselves, if they have no boys to
do so for them, il is not true. II they
are as smart as | am, why did they
not raise some boys to vote for them
| tell You, / do not intend to be cheat
