THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE.


A Paris Newspaper Sounds the Alarm, and
Points Out Frances Danger.
NEW YORK, June 1.-The Herad's cable spe-
eial is of unusual interest, its subject being the
triple alliance France it says fears that the
secret and denied alliance between Germany,
Austria and Italy is TO become sort of supreme
tribunal, which will be able to force its will on
all the European powers dividing, as it does, all
the powers on the west of Europe from those on
the east, and controlling it all. Both armies and
fleets would he Inder the control of Prussas
leaders, and the powerful and elaborate machine
could in either military or political ways do with
Europe much as Prussia did with Germany and
France in 1870, when France was Inundated
and q kingdom became a genuine empire.
lie Figaro, in an article Of muoH force, calls on
France to arouse herself. and says the country
mas never heen in greater peril. This article is
headed, "Bismark Secret" and adds that the
Chancellor's pans have heen set in all their Da-
kedness before President Grevy and the ministry
in n way which WAS likely to cause an Immediate
change in the governments policy. ave can,"
1t Gays, no longer conceal the fact that the tri-
pie alliance is not only an accomplished fact, but
that 1t is weapon directed against us. Sgnor
Mancini, two months ago, in the Italian Cham
bers. said that opportunities not far distant
might enable Italy use her strength IN the serv-
Ice of great cause. We remember that, and
we watch the strictly professional journey which
Count Won Moltke, despite his eighty-three years
and his infirmities has Just accomplished over
the HOrniche road and through the weakest
points of the Italian frontier. 1t Is not for sim
ply distraction that the old German strategist,
Drawing heat and fatigue, came to study, from
Genoa 10 Bordghera all the mountain passes,
IKE general making himself familiar with
future battlefield"
Figaro recalls the fact that pleasure trip ap-
parently led Won MOltke over the st. GOthard
and other passes opening in the rear of Belfort,
on the French frontier. The Italian govern
ment meets Bismarcks programme by reor-
ganizaton OF the Depretis cabinet, in the face of
the fact that it had a sure 800 legislative ma
jOrity at its back. Behind all this, Figaro argues,
there must be some powerful il unknown, hand.
Bismarck is also using Depretis TO secure the
reconciliation with the Pope, which he cannot
himself seem to ask, and is doing all he can TO
diminish the strength of France by urging on its
wars in Senegal, ON the Congo, In Madagascar, in
Tunis and in Cochin China, anu thus weakening
the country at home,

THE REVENUE COLLECTORS.


The Panic Produced by the Proposed Con-

Washington Special
The Congressional clans are beginning to
gather to use whatever influence they may have
10 induce the President not to carry into execu.
ton his purpose to consolidate the internal rev.
enue districts. The latest arrival is Senator
Lapham, OF New York, who does not wish any of
the districts in central New York disturbed. Ac-
oording to current rumor he will have an eff
cient ally in Secretary Foger. Some of the
Western congressman say that the consolida-
tions are all to be made East, South and West,
and that the New York patronage is to remain
undisturbed. Several of these congressman
have called to-day upon the new Commissioner
OF Internal Revenue, Mr.. Evans. While they
found him very courteous gentleman they
were not able to obtain any information from
HIM. 1t is very evident that Mr.. Evans is dis
Greet enough not to interfere in q decision at
which the President hao arrived long before the

Commissioner, especially as they are advised
