The sunerlnxs Of Paris-An Ail-Pewerfui
4 Arguuaone for Peace.

The suAerinxs Of Parls-As AII-Pewerfu
Arsussont for Peace.
BY balloon express from Paris we we're en-
abled yesterday to lay before our readers the
state Of things in the city, as condensed from
the diary Of an intelligent correspondent, from
the 9Th to the 10th inst. inclusive.
From this eye witness it appears that the
branch of the French government which is in
Paris (part of it being in Tours) really despairs
Of ultimate success in the field; that while
France has no competent force outside she is
powerless inside for offensive operations that
if the government in Paris will only assume
the responsibility and act upon it's convic-
tons the war may be soon ended that the
loss of life and property going on in the city is
enormous; that the suffsrings of the poorer
classes are terrible; that business and trade
are at q dead standstill; that the gov
eminent Is spending money at fearful rate
that the ''reds" are seeking to upset the gov
ernment and to seize the public plumber; that
there is pressure from the outside in the
shape Of movement to organize new gov
eminent and to make peace; that there is only
fifteen days supply Of fresh meat in the city,
and salt meat for only thirty days; that
the Parisians s'thank God that negotiations for
peace have been commenced;" that the
smallpox is increasing; that there is a disease
among the sheep, horses and donkeys, yet
their flesh is used that there was to be din
ner of horse flesh, given by the Board Of
Health; that there had been some fighting
among the factions in the streets; that
women's clubs for military service were active
and turbulent; that while the government
favors peace 1t fears the ''reds," but that the
continuance of the siege must end In the
starvation of the people.
Such was the state Of things in Paris from
the 9Th to the 10th Of this month, and it was
growing worse every day, from the shortening
of the supplies and the increase Of the suffer-
ings of the people from hunger and disease.
Against these resistless inside besieging forces
of what avail are the Notifications of Paris, or
the three hundred thousand armed men within
the citys wallsp What can they do but sur
render if they can not get out when their pro-
visions are exhausted? Jules Favre, as Vice
President, is acting President of France, and
he is in Paris. General Trochu is the military
commander and governor of the city. If these
two men can agree they have the question of
peace in their hands and we think it alto
gether probable that, from the inside pressure
Of starvation and the outside pressure of OPP
posing factions, Favre and Trochu, with
little assistance in diplomacy from the neutral
Powers, will come to terms of peace, or an
armistice, within the next ten days.

course. teE
It is said that General Grant IL actively
alive to the necessity Of improving our COM
mercial interests In South America and from
his known watchfulness in everything whereby
the country can DO benefited we have no doubt
that this important question has not escaped
him.

ENGLANDs Position FOR PEACE IN
EURopE.-By special cable telegram from
London we are enabled to confirm our first
report of the important fact that the British
government is moving actively with the view
of putting an end to the war between France
and Prussia. King Williams persistency in
the field is likely to induce diplomatic de-
moralization on the Continent. Such result
would be dangerous to the great neutrals;
particularly so to England. Hence her anxiety
for the close of hostilities at an early day. We
are told, indeed that England is more than
anxious for peace, and that the British Ministers
will advise a resort TO very active measures to
secure it, England and Austria are looking
closely to the East, and the continuance of the
war must not be permitted to cover an alliance
Of the Gar in the direction Of Constantinople.

MORE LIGHT IN THE HEAvENs--In brilliant
exhibitions of the northern lights and fam
ing meteors. But are they signs Of coming
storms, or heralds Of coming earthquakes or
warnings of dire confusion among the nations?

immigrants arrived at this port last week.

weekly report will soon be increased to ten
thousand.

THE PAPAL TAX ON TOBACCO is continued
by the Italian government in Rome. This is
scarcely fair. Having emancipated the Ro-
mans from the narcotics Of the Vatican the
King should certainly allow them a cheap
pipeful Of the genuine weed. But 1t is
penance always aud ever, in some shape or
other, In Rome.

Nor QUITE GONE YET-Two more cases
of yellow fever are reported at Governors
Island. We presume, however, that Jack
Frost has destroyed the poison in the outside
air and that all danger Of any spreading of the
disease is over for this season.

rebuttal. We are glad to find that even now,
before the season has actually closed, new
yachts are being built upon what it is hoped
will be improved models. 1t is said that the
number of pleasure craft to be constructed
before next spring will by far exceed that Of any
past year. Let them be built on improved
principles. American yachtmen cannot afford
to stand still and rest on their oars.
Although the English Cambria did not defeat
our little squadron her presence in our waters
was of great benefit to our yachtmen. Her
arrival gave renewed stimulus to our pleasure
navy, and increased speed and stanchness are
sure to follow the many efforts our amateur
sailors are making to eclipse their past per-
formances. Defects have been found in yachts
that were thought hitherto famous and invinci-
BILE. These can and will be remedied. Gen.
tlemen are beginning to shake off Sort Of
drowsiness that had crept over them, and
when the merry yachting season comes again
to gladden. us we may confidently expect to
find that science in naval architecture has
made rapid and progressive strides. Improve
ment should be the order of the day in every
thing; and the only barrier in its pathway, az
far as yacht modelling is concerned, embodies
itself in that fancied sense Of security that
most of our yacht owners hug to their hearts,
and that loudly proclaims, in actions, if not in
words, ssWe can't be beaten!"
We never can improve in building stanch
and speedy yachts we never can improve in
rigging and ballasting; we never can improve
in their skilful handling and sailing until we
believe there is such misfortune as failure
and such sting as defeat. There Is no such
word as fail" is all very pretty to read and to
declaim with tragic action; but, In reality, to
insure to ourselves bright success we must
anticipate reverses and make necessary pre-
parations TO combat them. This will be much
towards victory. 1t is principle that holds
good in war, In politics, in the social sphere

Description of the Collision.
A Republican reporter gives the following
description of the collision and wreck:-The
express train consisted of five passenger and
one baggage car. The freight train was long
and heavy. At the point of the collision is an
embankment fifteen feet high, where the road
curves SO sharply that approaching trains
cannot see each other until close together.
A boy standing near engineer jack
son was the first to descry the smoke
stack of the approaching freight train, entering
the curve at the east just as the express en-
tered west He directed the attention of
jackson to the danger. The brakes were i'm
mediatey whistled down, the engine reversed,
the speed of the train somewhat checked, but
no appliances of human power could stop the
heavy freight under half mile.
The two trains met with tremendous crash,
and fell into helpless and disjointed fragments.
The baggage-car, the two forward passenger
cars of the express on one side, the tender and
several box-cars on the other, were reduced to
ruins, and spattered with the blood of forty-five
human beings. The two engines were driven
with such force into each other that it was
almost impossible, after the collision, to distin
guish the parts of one from the other. The cars
were jammed together and shivered into splin-
tiers, and the wheels tracks, etc. blended into an
indescribable heap that rolled down the en-
bankment. The rear cars of the express shared
the concussion, but escaped the fall of the for
ward ones. The engines are both on the same
side of the embankment, and.were q heap of
fragments, while around all sides was confusion
and ruin. The baggage car and the one next to
it were shiyered as if by an internal explosion.
The mass of broken timbers, iron rods, wheels,
and other portions of the cars lookedslike the
frantic work of some Internal agency.

protection to its citizens against lawlessness.

The Deal Executien. The Indifference of the
Special Despatch to The Eueniylg Telegraph
READING, Pa, May 1927 .M.-Those who we're
so fortunate as to obtain tickets began arriving
at aboul 10 o'clock, and at that hour the prison
gate was thrown open. By noon at least two
hundred had been admitted. The priests, at
II o'clock, announced that the prisoner had
expressed his readiness for the scaffold, but the
Sheriff, for some unaccountable rerson, decided
upon further delay.
Father Finlan, of the English Catholic Church,
arrived at that time, and joined his brother
priests in the last religious ceremony. At 1'30
o'clock the Sheriff entered the cell and stated
that he had come to perform the duty imposed
upon him by law. The doomed man said he
was ready, and the line having been formed of
priests, Sheriff, prisoner, and jury, proceeded
along the corridor to the yard and the scaf-
fold.
The prisoner manifested the same Indifference
that he has exhibited since his incarceration.
He mounted the steps with firmness and ex-
hibited no emotion whatever. While on the
platform he made few remarks in which he
said he was sorry for the crime which he was
now expiating, and he had hoped that he would
be encircled in the divine arms of his Saviour
before leaving his cell. Deal ate dinner, which
was furnished by the warden from his own
table. He kept up his stoical demeanor until
the drop fell and all was over.
