that the latest events in the Regency
of Tunis have been such as to cause
alarm lest the sphere of French
operations should be extended !; for
Cabes, which has just been occupied
by the French troops, is dangerous
ly near the frontier of Tripoli, and
Sfax, the scene of the recent sangui-
nary struggle, is not many miles
further off. The fear has been that
France might, either by way Of
anticipating danger or led on by the
logic of events, cross the frontier of
Tripod, and so find herself perlorce
involved in hostilities with the Turk
ish Empire. 1t is this danger that
has been perceived by Lord Gran
vile, whose language on the subject
has both been explicit itself and has
provoked very clear expressions on
the part of the French Foreign
Minister. That cur Foreign Office
declared its policy not a moment too
soon is quite clear from the cores
pondence. There is evidence that
so recently as the 4th OF July Nj. st.
Hilaire was taking up an attitude
towards Turkey which might easily
have become one of pronounced hos
fifty and even since that date the
angry articles in some influential
Partisan journals have shown that
French opinion was becoming in
famed against the Power which it
accused OF intriguing against France
in Africa. BY adopting a clear
and definite line Lord Granville
appears to have completely ayerted
all danger of a rupture between
France and Turkey. AS this cores
poudence shows, he has been equally
firm in warning France against an in
vasion of Tripoli and in warning the
Porte against any action which could
give France an excuse for such a
proceeding. France has been told.
in words which admit of no mistake,
that England cannot permit any in
reference with Tripoli and Turkey
has been told, in similar language,
that she must be extremely prudent
in the assertion of even her acknoW-
lodged rights, lest her motives should
be misunderstood, and her measures
for the preservation Of order should
lead to a worse outbreak Of disor-
der.
The most important of Lord
Granville's DISPATCHES bears the
date of July Is, and is addressed to
Lord Lyons, our Ambassador in
Paris. The declaration of policy
which it contains is in these words:-
have now to state to your Ex-
" cellency that, in view of the I'M
questioned Incorporation of Tri-
poll in the Turkish Empire, as
well as its proximity to Egypt,
Her Majesty's government could
not regard interference, of what.
ever description, on the part of
Z" the French Government in that
"province in the same manner as
I" they viewed the recent occurren-
ices in Tunis." NJ. St. Hilaire is
reminded of a conversation of his
with Lord Lyons last January, in
which he said, !" If France were in
possession of Tunis, she would

ton from Nj. st I4ilaire which leaves
nothing to be desired. The " buffer"
theory with regard to Tunis, which
was adopted by .him last January,
is re- affirmed! France the Minister
declares, only wishes to see Tunis
"a well-governed, well : ordered,
8 and prosperous country" a safe
and useful neighbour to Algeria,
and standing between French terri
tory and the less civilised Mussul-
man countries TO the East. Into
those countries France has no wish
to enter. She regards TripoIi as
indisputally q part Of the Otto
"man Empire" and "has no inten-
ton either Of invading or of at
tempting to establish an exclusive
or predominant influence in it."
Still more precise is the assurance
that follows, of which, with the m
phatic repetition Of it in a later
despatch, England will take note.
"The Porte has been assured" says
M. st Illlalre, that ii, contrary to
their hopes and wishes, the French
Government is driven to take mill
tary measures, they will take mea-
sures of a defensive character only,
and will not cross the frontier Of
TripoIi." The same assurances are
repeated by Nj. st. Hilaire in q des-
patch to Comte d'Aunay, the French
Charge dAffarcs, to whom he de-
clares in addition that France would
never attempt the absnrdity of ex-
tending her power oye a desert
extending for some II or IS degrees
of longitude. W e are disposed to
pay more attention to deliberate,
emphatic, ana unmistakable pledges
as to the movement of troops than
to arguments as to what Franco
might or might not reasonably do.
Recent events have shown that the
old aggressive spirit, the old tondness
for military adventures, whether
remuuerqtiye or not, is almost as
strong as ever it was III the French
people, and we do not doubt that
if they thought it would conduce to
the glory of France to annex II
degrees Of desert they would be
quite willing to do it. But when a
Foreign Secretary has stated in
black and white, and has, when
pressed, repeated the statement "with
much emphasis" that under no
circumstances will the French sol
diers the Tripolitan frontier"
ever those whom Tunisian precedent
has made sceptical are forced to be-
lieve him.
Hardly less important han Lord
Granyille's communications with
France are his dispatches 10 Lord
Dnfferin at Constantinople. 1t is
natural, though it is not for a Minis
ter to make the admission, that Tur-
kish sympathies should have been
strongly excited by the events in
Tunis. What the attitude of official
Turkey has been is we'll known !;
it has protested at every point, on
the ground of wrong done to the
Sultan's sovereignty, and it has sent
troops to Tripoli in the name of or
der. Moreover, Turkey is accused,
and the charge is repeated in more

CENSUS OF ScoTLAND.-The Regis
trar-G General for Scotland has sent
in to the Home Secretary an interim
report on the returns Of the census
taken last April. The population of
all Scotland, including the seamen
belonging to the Mercantile Shipping
in Scottish ports or on Scottish waters,
amounted last April to 3,743,441 per-
sons, of whom 1897, 592 were males,
and 1916, $40 females. Comparison
with the census numbers of 1871
shows an increase of 1874, 449 males
and 1894 females or a total in
crease of 374,423 persons in ten
years, i.e., an increase of III per
cent. The population Of Scotland
has grown more in the last ten years
than in any decennial period since
1S21-3I. Glasgow has increased from
491 ,846 in 1871 to 51l.532 in 1881,
or 4 per cent, Edinburgh from
1888 to 221, 100, or 1913 per

DIR. Hamilton Gives His Opinion.

The only information which DIR. Frank H..
Hamilton has received since yesterday from
the White House. was received in a dispatch
from DIR. Agnew announcing the extraction
of splinters of bone and saying the President
was comfortable, and his condition satisfac
tory. 1.-The extraction of the splinters OF
bone was what referred TO yesterday, said
Dr. Hamilton this A. NJ.
We knew some DAYS ago that such splln-
tiers existed and would come out in the course
of time. As they do so. irritation will sub
side, and the mouth of the wound be enlarged
and thus allow more room for the introduc-
ton of larger disinfecting probes, and free
egress of the pus. The more thoroughlyIWe
can get at the wound, the better our facili-
ties for keeping ii open and clean.
am having some new probes made which
NAV better fit the Presidents wound
than those we now have, but can't tell as to
that until they are tried. They may be found
to be useless. Perfect drainage in this case
! is of great Importance. If we had drainage
running out at the bottom of the wound, as
well as at the top, the President could snap
his fingers at the doctors, and get well to
suit himself.
The fact that the ball is in an out of the
wav place and hard to reach. and an abcess
of some sort probably exists, is what is likely
| to make the case tedious one. Nature
must get the ball out, and nature may be
trusted to do a good deal. The President
having passed the danger of shock OF hem
orrhage, peritonitis and exhaustion, we have
every reason TO hope he will not break down
now that suppuration and a possible danger
of pyemia are to be fought against.
| The talk about the chills of Friday being
unmistakable signs of pyamia, was wrong
have seen hundre DIS of pyamia patients, ,and
their appearance is not to be mistaken. There
is nothing of the kind about the President
and none of the pallor or apathy to be noticed
in pyamia. Any acute irritation is likely t'
cause chills. The presence of the pus irri
tates the body and chills come on. You
know that have never been over sanguine
in this matter, and have said all along that
the President was sick man. Well. it is
my candid opinion now that the chances fol
recovery are in his favor.

THEPAPER CONVENTION.
A Meeting of Great Interest.-Election
of Officers.

SARATOGA, July 81 The American Paper
Makers Association held their annual meet
ing here to-day. Among the members pres
ent were Hon. Warren Miller, U. S. Senator,
and Hon. George West, Member of Congress
from the Saratoga district. The President,
Wellington Smith of Lee, Mass, spoke Of
the healthy condition of the trade at this
time, and the benefit brought about by the
tariff which causes a healthy competition
| among the manufacturers of this country,
rather than to compel us, by a so called ''free
trade" to compete with the pauper labor of
Europe. He presented a specimen of the
paper which was sold up to the utmost pro-
duction in 1872, at 10 l-2 cents per pound,
4 l-2, being so poor, and this is owing entirely
to home competition; improving quality and
lowering the price.
C.. c. Woedforth, from the committee
on export business, reported that
307 manufacturers had offered 500
tons for export without limit to the price.
The increase of the export of paper in 1880
over 1876 had been over l6, 500 tons. He
recommended subsidies to steamship lines.
Hon. Warner Miller addressed the associ-
alton. Regarding the increase of business,
he said the out put of mills during the past
year had been fully so per cent over the year
before, and paper Is sold in New \ ork as
low for the quality as in London. Regard
ing the tariff, he said that while the average
of duties on all articles imported is 45 per
cent, paper only has a protection of 20 per
cent. on ordinary qualities and % on fine.
He announced himself as in favor of aiding
the establishment of steamship lines to South
America, so that American manufacturers
can send their goods there other than by the
way of London. He thought it would be as
well for the government to pay for prompt
and perfect mail lines to foreign ports as for
star routes in the western territories. In
Germany few years since, he fonnd a mill
running on a peculiar kind of paper for
Brazil. He found on his return that he
could make that same paper cheaper than the
Germans could, but he could not put it down
in Brazil as cheap as the German did, solely
because the only steamship lines to Brazil
are from Europe. He believed the Ameri-
can manufacturers should be given facilities
to secure the trade of this continent and
should do what he could to secure that end
The following officers were elected: Pres
ident, Wellington Smith of Lee; Vice Pres
| idents, o. III. Greenleaf, Springfield, w. II.
Chatfield, Cincinnati; Secretary, Chas. o.
Chaplin, Springfield; Treasurer, Geo. w.
Wheelwright Boston.

\ Chinese Burial.

A Chinese funeral took place in New York
Monday. which attracted good deal of at
tention. The Tribune says;
Thirty-fve carriages followed the hearse
The pail hearers and mourners were clad in
white The bearers were followed by a coach
containing a basket of wax candles and joss
sticks for use at the burial. Next came a
band of musicians. who made all the noise
they could with gougs, cymhals and horns.
Only one woman was noticed in the process
sion she was white, with regular. Caucasian
features.
The master of ceremonies rode on the
hearse and continually scattered to the wind
small bits of rice paper. When the grave
was reached the musicians made day hideous
while the coffin was lowered by the eight
white-rohed bearers. When the earth had
been leveled. banner was planted st each
end Of the mound Then the basket was
brought aud the wax candles were lighted at
the foot of the mound. The joss-sticks we're
also lighted upon the grave, burning with a
pleasant odor At the same time little fire
was kindled at the side and paper money was
burned there. The remainder of the rice
paper was pinned to the grave. Then the
friends of the dead man passed in turn around
the grave and made low bow TO it with
clasped hands uplitted.
Already there is number of Chinese
graves in the Cemetery of the Evergreens,
the only cemetery hereabout which is
patronized by them. The graves are group
I'd together.

THE SPRAGUE ESTATES.
Proposition Of the Spragues to Purchase
the Property and Settle with the
Creditors.

New YORK. July -. Regarding the ru-
NOR that a syndicate has been formed for the
purpose of purchasing the Sprague estate and
settling with the creditors, General Pryor
one of the lawyers of the Spragues, states
that no settlement has yet been definitely
arranged. proposition is now pending be-
tween the creditors and the Spragues, which
will probably result in the purchase, by Will
liam, Amasa, Mary and Fanny Sprague, OF
the property. If a settlement can be effected
all litigation will cease at once. There has
never been syndicate in the matter.
Gen. Butler never proposed to purchase the
property, nor will he, in the event of its pur
chase, have any interest whatever. The ar
rangement contemplated is the purchase OF
the property by the Spragues, who will secure
funds to pay for it on mortgage. The whole
amonnt to be paid is something like $500,
600 or $1,000, 900. and this will give the
creditors 45 or 50 per cent. on their claims.
