The Columbian Congress passed an
lnter-oceanic treaty, but refuses the ex-
elusive privilege of the United States
that armed vessels may pass through the
canal.
1t seems that there Is no danger of

WALL STREET.
Avery Tame Day---The Bulls Very Much
Disappointed.

NEW YORK, August lin Wall street,
al the close of the day, the speculative
feeling on the Stock Exchange was very
tame on the share list, aud prices declined,
the lowest figures of the day being made.
This caused some surprise to the sanguine
bulls, who believe in much higher prices
on the settlement of the difficulties be-
tween the trunk lines to the West. These
difficulties are reported positively settled,
although no official announcement has yet
been made. In the Government bond de-
partment there are symptoms of weak
ness, although the actual decline is slight,
and the volume Of business was very linn
tied. Ia the gold room, the speculative
feeling for rise gained strength late in
the day, and the market was carried up to
the highest point of the morning. This
advance wss caused by considerable buy
ing for account OF parties with European
connections. Money easy at 395 per cent.

One OF the points disputed by the French
and PFussians, and recaptured by the lat
ter in the great crash Of Saturday, is on
the Prussian frontier, where IL is crossed
by the railroad from Stras sbOurg TO Landau
and Heidelberg. This point is historical,
and will be remem bered as the place
where the French lines we're penetrated
by the Prussians, under Wurmser, in
1873.
METZ,

are gathering for perhaps the most mo-
InenJous battle of modern times, is the
most important strategic point in this

Inhabitants, and is garrisOned by 10000
men. The fortifcstiOns are irregular, but
were very strong even before the war Of
1866, and since then important works have
been laid out, and carried forward 20 an
advanced stage, on four commanding
sites. These allow for the improved range
Of the latest ordnance, as well as for the

royal body guards, then served as a Lieu
tenant Of the line in the campaign of 1923
fn Spain, and finally entered the lst regi-
Insnt Of royal guards. After the revOlu-
tiOn of 1890, he left the service for time;
but Ke-entering the army, he went to
Africa, where he soon distinguished him
self His presence Of mind and dauntless
intrepiditY were shown cOnspicuously in

Colonel; gained furtbeT promotion by his
exertiOns in the several campaigns IN
which he took an aefiye part; became

NATHAN MURDER.
Evidence of Mrs. KelIys Son.. Suspected
Men Discharged. Another Arrested.

NEW YORK, August 11.-Wm. Kelly,
housekeeper's son, in the Nathan inquest
to-day, failed to furnish ground for sus-
picion of his guilt. He admitted of hfs
enlistment in Lawrence, Mass, under an
assumed name, in 1864, and that he was
since discharged from the army in 1865,
and had been without regular employ
ment In contradiction of previous testi-
mony, he stated that he had a conversa-
tion with two men on Madison Square, on
the evening before the murder,
Other testimony was offered to prove
that the dog with which the murder had
been committed, had been seen about
Nathan's premises over a year ago, and
since.
The three colored men arrested on sus-
pici0n of having possession of the late
Mr.. Nsthan's watch, were to-day dis
charged, hat another man is now held in
custody on suspicion of having disposed
of the missing Nathan lewslry on the day
after the murder occurred.

StresbOurg, with II, 500 inhabitants, is sit
usted in the middle OF the forest of Nour,
and is a place of garrison of the fourth
class. This town, the name of which has
been variously spelled Hacheneau, Haga-
nae, Hagenovia, or Hagenoa, has It's origin
in castle belonging to the kings Of
France. and which was built in the twelfth
century. In lI54 Frederic L, had the town
surroun led by fortified walls, and there
defended tho crown, the scepter, and the
sword Of Charlemsgne. These glorious
relics were secretly purloincd by the
Bishop Of Spire and taken to Castle Trie-
fels. The German emperofs had there
palace, and often sojOurned there. It was
In ethe castle of Hagenau that Richard
Coeur de Lion was kept prisoner by the
Emperor Henry ". The Thirty Years
War brought much misery on the place,
and during it the inhabitants were re-
duced from 1900 to only $50. The iiortif-
cations were rszed in 1913 by the order of
LOUIS NV, built up again year after,
and AFTER that destroyed three times.
In 1905 and l744 the Austrians took the
place. but did not hold it long. The
kleber Promenade, laid out in ISL, in
honor of the birth of the King of Rome,
is very handsome, and extends toward
the Porte de Strasbourg. The city is the
seat of a college, has a considerable num-
ber OF industrial establishments, and is
altogether in a flourishing condition.
In leaving tHsgenau one reaches at
once an open farming country, with the
