A GREAT BATTLE EX.
PECfED SOON

PARIS, August 3.-We are in hourly
anticipation Of a great battle. Active
preparations are being made for the
reception and care Of the wounded.
Twenty-four thousand beds have been
already prepared.
Twelve hundred men are specially
employed making bread in Paris for
the French army.
The political irreconcilables In Paris
are prepared to take advantage Of the
war, and the absence Of the army and
Emperor, to provoke a rising against
the Empire. Rochefort opposes the
movement, and it Is likely to he aban-
doned.

A special from Paris dated Tuesday,
August I'd, says that DIR. Nelaton joins
the army on the pretext Of forming an
ambulance. corps. Everybody knows
that he goes as a special attendant upon
the Emperor, the state of whose malady
does not permit him to dispense with
his most trusted physician.

CONFIDENCE Man. An individual
who gave Ills name of Charles Wilson,
put up ut the Golden Eagle Hotel a few
days ago, giving to the Clerk as secu-
rity that his board would be paid. a
letter purporting to be signed by j. II.
Randall, of San Francisco, asking d.
E. Callahan to let the bearer remain
ut the hotel, and promising to pay the
bill if Wilson did not. As the Ran
dali note was supposed to be all right,
Wilson was furnished with comfortable
quarters. A few days Afterwards he
called at Watchhorst's Jewelry store,
and presented to j.. Conrad n document
bearing the s'gn1ture I'D. E. Gala
ham," which directed that Henry L.
Rogers, whom Wilson then repre-
sented himself to be, should be given
such a watch as he might select, the
same to be charged to Callahan. In
explanation of this, Wilson Tor Rog-
ers) stated that he had been out for a
walk that day, and he had had the
good fortune to be able to stop Gala
hans carriage team while 1t wa run
ming away, Miss Callahan and another
lady being In the vehicle at the time.
During his struggle with the horses he
broke his watch "a fragment Of which
lie exhibited to the jewellery, and Gala
han, to reward him, had given him the
order for a new one. He proceeded to
pick out n fine time-piece. but Conrad,
who had not put entire confidence In
his story, told him that he would keep
the watch and regulate 1t, and that
Wilson might come or send for it-in
the evening intending meanwhile to
make inquiries. Wilson went of, ap-
parently satisfied, but never returned,
and has mot since that day been seen.
It Is scarcely necessary to add That
both of the notes or orders were found
to be forgeries. For such q bold OPP
orator, he made q failure In his trans
actions.-Sacrdmento Union.

FRANCE

PARIS, August st is positively
asserted that Austria and Italy entered
into ali alliance with France menacing
to the attitude of England toward
France, as exhibited by the English
press and the pressure In Parliament
for increased armament, seeming to
to suggest more than a possibility Of
English cooperation with Prussia, In
which ease the security Of Austria
might be endangered, and Is said to
have hastened this alliance. g.
Treasury bonds to the amount OF
500, 900, 900 francs have been issued in

Why THEY o BEGIN.

A great deal of disappointment has
been expressed at the apparent slow
ness Of the French and Prussians to
begin the actual fighting OF the war.
This shows that people have enter
tanned very unreasonable expectations.
1t Ia not yet four weeks since the dis
turbances in connection with the nomi-
nation of Prince Leopold of Hohen-
zolleren to the Spanish throne COM
mensed, and already a great battle Is
looked for, and its absence made the
ground for doubling whether there will
be war at all. In order to fight a great
battle, 1t Is first necessary to get great
armies upon the territory where the
fighting Is to take place. This requires
time. No matter how thorough the
preparations of the combatants may
have been. they cannot place their
forces at once at the scene Of action.
The Prussians on their side are, no
doubt, using all possible diligence;
but 1t will be many days before a Prus-
sian army can be drawn up In line Of
battle opposite to a French army, and
the dread signal for a contest between
the two be given. In 1859, prepara-
tions for the war between France and
Austria were making as early as Janu-
airy. but not o blow was struck till May.
In 1888, Austria and Prussia began to
put their armies on a war footing in
March; but though they moved with
unexampled celebrity, the battle Of Sa-
dowa was not fought till July. Let
nobody imagine, therefore, that be-
cause we do not receive the news Of
great battles Immediately, there Is to
be no war. The war is certain and in
evitable. The battles will be few, and
will be fought at times which cannot
be determined beforehand. The ex-
clusion Of Belgium from the territory
In which the armies can man9uvre,
and the Limitation OF IL 70 the narrow
expanse between Switzerland and the
Belgian frontier, will confine opera
lions TO a narrower space than has been
opened to any previous war between
france and Germany. But even this
comparatively limited range will suf-
ice for combats that will put the fam
lilies of two great nations into mourn
ing, and will stain IL Of the most fer
tile portions Of Europe with human
blood. Let US not be impatient for the
awful conflict to begin. As there Is
always a pause before n great tempest
Is let loose, 1t Is only fitting that there
should be a pause before this pandemo-
MUM of death aud fire Is unclaimed
upon Europe.

rppRor OF rHE war on
AMERICAN P0LITICs.
From the New York SAN

From the New YORK sum- l
The German vote Of this country ID
very heavy. Iu our own immediate
vicinity It is strong enough to control
the politics Of New York and New
Jersey; and the continued supremacy
of the Democratic party In those States
depends upon the Teutons. The Ger
mans are unanimously and vehemently
for Prussia and against France In the
pendinp European war. The World,
which affects to be q Democratic jour
nal of aristocratlc principles, Is the
warm partisan of France, and intensely
opposed to France. One might suppose
that the tendency of this would be to
drive the Germans out Of the Demo
cratic party, at least in tho approach
Ing elections. And so 1t would, except
for the fact that the World has very
little influence with the masses of the
Democracy outside of the Manhattan
Club. and by the rank and file Of the
party Is hardly regarded rs a Demo-
cratic journal ut all.
The Fenians rather incline to the
French side In this war. They know
that the heir to the Prusslan throne,
who Is very likely soon to ascend 1t,
married Queen Victoria's daughter.
Nor do they forget that nearly two
hundred years ago, when william OF
Orange drove james II out of England
and then out of Ireland, France re-
cclyed him. and on two occasions dur
ing the next half century furnished the
means for the son and the, grandson OF
james to raise two rebellions In Scot
land against the house now filling the
British throne. So, If England should
become involved with Prussia In the
pending contest, enthusiastic lrishmen
might try, with the aid Of France, to
strike n blow for the independence Of
Ireland. This might diminish the
Irish vote In this country to the detri-
ment Of tho Democratic party. But
England will keep out Of this war II
she can, and she pretty surely can for
the present; and besides, when she
goes into it she Is not unlikely to take
the part of Franco. and to draw her
sword in defence Of Turkey against
Russia and Prussia combined.
We think, therefore, that the war In
Europe will not materially affect the
strength of parties In the United States
during the current year. But If the
struggle In Europe Is a long one, let
political leaders look far ahead for Its
consequences.

CENTENARANs.-1he late Sir George
Cornewall Lewis, it is stated. expressed
a serious doubt whether there Is any
satisfactory evidence ola human being
ever having attained the age Of one
hundred years. The recent celebration
Of the one hundredth birthday OF
Phebe Thomas, in Chester county, Pa,
was supported BY the most undeniable
evidence !; and the London Echo cites
in dlsproof of Sir George Lewis as
sertions, the case of a certain Jacob
william LUNG, who has just died. at
the age Of one hundred and three years,
one month aud four days. The evi,
dence in the case is ~singularly good,
As LUNG. in 1890. insured his life, and
then reported his age at thirty-two
years. At that time there was no rea-
o to oyerstate his age, because Inc
would thereby have increased the pre-
MUM payable. 1t Is stated that the
amount payable to the heirs Of LUNG
will be six and a half times the sum
originally insured.
