from the ships side. We wheeled around the

slow the boat around when the steamer went down

the place and heard cries for help. We
proceeded in the direction of the cries, and saw
what appeared to be mems heads over the water.
We found they were five Of our men, who re-
manned in the first boat after she had filled. The
gunwale of the boat was on level with the water,

A Protocol Signed Between a United States
Commissioner and a Representative of
the United states of Colombia.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-From the Tribune: "A
protocol was signed in this city on Thursday
evening by United States Commissioner W. II.
TrescOtt and General Domings, representing the
Government of the United States of Colombia,
which arranged for the enforcement of the neu-
trality Of the Isthmus Of Panama according 10
the treaty of 1876. The protocol determines the
way by which the United States Government
shall interfere to guarantee the independence of
Colombia and the neutrality of the canal. One
of the conditions of such interference is that
Colombia must first ask for it. and that without
such request or demand the United States shall
not intervene.
A Tribune reporter called on Commander Wyse
last evening at The Hotel Brunswick and after
outlining the provisions of the protocol, asked
his opinion as to its effect upon. the Panama
Canal project Commander Wyse replied that il

French Horses.

From history of French horses by Andre
Samson, Professor of Zoology in the Agricul-
tural School of Grignon, France, we make
the following extract: "The Boulonnaise
variety is acknowledged to be the most inn
portant one among the draft horses. His
characteristics show that the BOulonnaise
horse has a vigorous constitution, and in
point of strength he is a Hercules among
horses. He is as gentle as he is strong. He
is renowned for his docility. For so heavy
an animal he is free and quick in his move
ments. He is endowed with a vigor and
energy which is reflected ia his resolute but
gentle glance. The Boulonnaise horses,
scattered throughout all the agricultural dis
tricts in the vicinity of Paris are at length
nearly all of them used in the labor of that
immense city. They form certainly the
largest part of the heavy draft horses en-
ployed in Paris. Thus their merits can be
appreciated. They have not their equals in
the world"

was matter of impossibility TO reach the school
