A TRIPLE ALLIANCE
That Means Mi.ehier 10 France. So the
PApors Think. 't

NEw YoRK, May Sl.-The Herald today
has a special cable Of unusual interest over
the triple alliance, concerning whose ex.
istence the first information was sent out
by the Press Association. France fears
that the alliance between Germany, Aus.
tria and Italy is to become sort Of supreme
tribunal which will be able to enforce ita
will on all the European powers, dividing,
as It does, all the powers in the west Of
Europe from those on the east, and con.
trolling Italy's splendid fieetand sea coast,
together with the powerful armies OF the
two Empires. Both armies and fleets would
be under the control OF prussia's leaders,
and the powerful and elaborate ma.
chine could In either military or political
ways do with Europe much as Prussia did
with Germany and France in 1870, when
France was humiliated and Q Kingdom
BECAME q genuine Empire. lie Figaro in
an article Of much force calls on France to
arouse herself, and says the country has
never been in greater peril. The article Is
headed HBismarck's Secret, and adds that
the Ohancellor's plans have been set In all
their nakedness before President Grevy
and the Ministry in way which was
likely TO cause an immediate change In the
government policy. ave osn,n it says, mo

general making himself familiar with a

fact that the pleasure trip left Count Won
Moltke over St. Gothard and other passes

French frontier. The Italian Government
meets Bismarck's programme by reor-
Raniaation Of the Depretis Cabinet in the

NEw YoRK, May Sl.-The scene at Billy

street, last evening, was far different from
what is usually seen there on Sunday
night. Instead Of the usual clinking Of
Of glasses, the loud laugh and song and
whirling dances, hymns, prayers and ex-
hortations were heard. 1t was announced
that Jerry MeAuley would lead his cohorts
against sin and vice there last night, and
long before the doors were open the streets
on both sides OF the way was blocked with
an anxious, curious throng eager to gain
admission. &.
After prayer by Rev. Mackey, Mr..

then Jerry McAuley was introduced.
One convert who spoke said he had once
