Nor PRovEp.-The prosecution of
Captain Adams. Of the ship Richard II .,
and Captain Cameron, Of the tug Ia
coma, at Tacoma last week, ended in
the non conviction of the two men.
These oases grew out of the running off
Of the ship by the tug last September.
while the ship was in alleged custody Of
a deputy United States Marshal. The
circumstances are familiar to our read
ers generally and need no further state
ment at this time. The acquittal Of the
two captains, accompanied with the IN
derstanding that the prosecution was
unable, after complete and hor est Of
fort, TO convict them. will be gratifying
to citizens generally. 1t was a m0s.
serious charge to make against them.
and its refutatiou, after a full judici al
investigation, will be received With
general satisfaction while it must be
extremely gratifying to the gentlemen
and their particular friends.

the mine: but now it Is beginning to
make itself seen and felt outside. The
crust of earth above the fire, about fifty
feet thick. is cracking. opening and
sinking into the cavity. Tie tall trees
standing upon it are falling, 3 and 4 a
day. The black smoke is pouring out
through the openings in dense volumes,
and the scene Is At once weird, awful
and terrifying. The surface 80 far af =
fected has width of about 80 feet and
length of about 80. The county road
from Snoqualmle and Squak runs along
side this burning district, and travel
over 1t Is matter of no little danger at
this time. How far the earth will sink,
Is a query of interest. 1t is possible for
1t to 90 down several hundred feet, the
coal mined being over four hundred feet,
but that it will go any such depth, at
once at least, Is improbable.

French Foreign Policy.

The prestige of France has suffered
very greatly by the conquest of Egypt
by Great Britain. France was o part.
ner in the Joint Control, but she refused
to cooperate in the war On Arab Pasha
and the Egyptians. This result was
brought about by the intrigues of Bis.
marck, the object of whose foreign pc.
Icy since the close of the Franco-Ger-
man war hasibeen TO isolate France
from every nation, in Europe. The
Tunisian war put an end to all friendly
feeling between Italy and France, and
the Egyptian ~imbrogfio has made Great
Britain and France, for all international
purposes, rivals if not enemies. The
French Government is keenly conscious
Of the unhappy position of that once
proud. nation, and is trying to make
herself respected by q more vigorous
policy in other parts of the world. We
hear of French intrigues in Central
Africa, where the adventurer De Brazza
claims to have seized an immense terri
tory in the name Of his country. In
Cochin China, French intrigues have
succeeded in paving the way for al i'm
portant acquisition to the French flag,
and last, but not least, it is an open se-
cret that the government is about to
annex the important island of Madagas-
car. This island is larger than France,
as it is one thousand miles long by three
hundred and fifty wide. 1t lias at pres-
eit only two millions OF inhabitants,
hut under good government, would be

The Three Cents q MILE Rate.

The Paris North Texan has this to
say abont the operation of the three
cents a miller bill in Texas:
So far the /" three cents Il miieii bill is
not hurting the railroads 10 any serious
extent, AZ was predicted by many SYM
pathetic papers. Many papers on the
railroads, as well as travellers, say there
is more travel now than under the old
rate of five cents. 1t Is believed b.,
many now that the increase in travel
will fully balance the reduction in rates.
The railroads still carry children under
Eve years old free, bnt have no hall. fare
rates for those between five and twelve.
This, We think, il reasonable enough.
The difference between half-fale under
the old rate and full fare under the new
Law being onI.s half a cent a mile, the
travelling public will hardly ask for the
difference
