III. French Outrage. at ran4..r. Relation,
Between EnElaad and France Somewhat
Strained : Loss Of Life I Fire. !.

LONDON, July 14.-Ths relations be-
tween England and France have reached,
this week, the highest point Of tension
since the administrations Of the BonSpaI.
list Colonels under the Third Empire.
Mr.. Gladstone's statement on Wednesday
respecting the outrages on the British Cor.
sui in Madagascar impressed those present
as much by the gravity Of his manner
as by the gravity Of the facts.
The French affect to doubt the accuracy
OF the narrative, but though the source
OF the information Is not officially stat
ed, 1t Is known 10 have been trans-
mltted from the naval officers concerned.
Continental opinion Is unanimous that
the outrages are DO serious as to leave
France no option bat to disown Admiral
Pierre, and to offer full reparation. Diplo.
matists in London express the same view
with usual frankness. Hence the general
FEELING Is that this particular incident will
not occasion rupture OF relations between
the two Powers. NJ. Jules Ferry's pacific
declarations point to an easy solution, but
NJ. Challemel Lacour's tone continues fret
ful. Ths French press at first ignored Mr.
Gladstone's statement, but has since di.-
cnssed it irritably as . trnmped.up case.
The .opportune publication OF the agree.
ment between the British Ministry and
N. De Leeseps respecting the Sues Canal
smoothed down for moment the rutiied
French feathers, But the French now
discover that England will not ratify, the
proposed bargain. Never was any scheme
condemned with more complete unanimity
than this: 1t Is not from hostility to
France. No party in England desires to
quarrel with France. Everybody agrees
with Mr.. Bright that Il viii be better To
settle the Suez question with France than
against her. Everybody applauds the
Ministry for endeavoring 70 come TO
terms with NJ. DeLesseps, but everybody
oensures the bargain alike on political
and commercial grounds. Not merely the
shipping interest. bat the whole mercantile
community, is up in arms against 1t. The
great meeting yesterday at Lloyd's, con-
trolled by no class and free from party
bias, proved utterly hostile 10 II, denounc-
ing the concessions obtained from N. De
Lesseps as futile, and leaving the canal the
most profitable commercial monopoly In

LONDON, July la-A dispatch from Limla

ing relative to the alleged insult to the late
British Consul at Tamatave. The captain
Of the British man-of-war Dryad, was act

French wished the consular dispatches
sent aboard Admiral Pierre's ship, but the
Epglish objected and Captain Hay received
them directly from the Dryad. The latter
vessel escorted the plymouth Castle out OF
the harbor.

A rEsRIBLE ExCeuNrEK
Between Two Brothers-They Settle a
Difficulty In the Prize R!uH.

READING. ,Pt July li-The people Of Glib
raltar, village on the railroad, a few miles
from this city, are in high state Of excite,
ment over a fight between brothers living
there in comfortable circumstances. For a
long time there has been agrudge between
Clarence and George Haldeman. The hand
some residence OF the former, near the sta
tion, always attracts the attention Of travel
ers. The estrangement between them was
ea4sed by 4 trlplal dispute about the
quality OF stock, hut no one thought it
would result IN more than suspension OF
conversation. The other day Clarence met
George at the hotel and accused him Of
having boasted OF his fighting powers and OF
having threatened to whip him, Clarence.
The brother denied the charge, but at the
same time intimated that he might be pre-.
vailed on to light,
"You are afraid TO aght me in the ring"
said Clarence, putting bis brawny fist un-
der his brothers nose. "If yer amt, we'll
settle 1t right here"
The brusque challenge was promptly &C.
cepted and several Reading fisherman, who
had been attracted by the noise, vblun.
lsered to aGt as seconds. One Of them took
lie small end OF his tishiug:rod and traced
circle In the hard ground near the hotel,
and Just as the sun disappeared behind a

encounter began, The men had stripped
70 the waist and both we're good
specimens OF physical power. Clarence

and weighs In the neighborhood Of one

or George Is one inch shorter and tips the
beam at one hundred and sixty pounds.
The men could scarcely walt until time
was called, and when that moment did
come Clarence made q vicious plunge at
his brothers. face, but 1t only split the air,
as the latter dodged. It was quickly fol.
lowed by another that took George under
the chin and staggered him. This made
him fierce, aud with an oath he rushed at
his larger brother, striking right and left,
and finally knocking him down with a
blow on the mouth that brought blood and

In the second round the brothers rushed

COLONEL A. X. MCCLURE, editor oil the
pb,isdelphia Times, paper which BOOM
.Jps ,tison for Governor, and which has
found fault with every Republican conven-
,ou held in Pennsylvania since the Times
vas born, says the convention twas one Of
te best repl esentative political bodies he
had ever seen in the State" Colonel
Mcclure further says:
There will be the usual disappointments
among the defeated for season, but as the
contest was mainly on personal interests
and preferences rather than on any vital
prnriple, there will be an entirely cordial
support Of the candidates by the Stalwart
aud Independent factions Of the party.
The reunion Of the lately discovered Re.
publican organization is an accomplished
TACT, and, while there are yet unhealed
s4rs Of the Beaver-Stewart battle, which
NAV be torn opeA airesh in future internal
conflicts, the Republican vote cast at the
next election will be solid for the Re-
publican ticket. This fact Is palpa-
ole to all intelligent and dis.
passionate observers OF political events,
aad the Democratic party may ~
xelhlOOk the situation sQuarely in the face.
Even the effort Of the Governor to distract
the Republicans and enthuse the Demo-
raB by the extra session for apportion-
nents, has only intensified Republican
laily, as the platform clearly proves, and
It Ass not enlhused the Democracy. The
Republicans agyressively denounce the ex-
la session expenditure, while the Demo-
EHIs apologetically defend it. The two
lunes will meet again this year as Of old,
rICh certain that the other can gain moth
iDg from its anks, and that pretty certainly
toTtshGdows the election Of the Republican
ticket. Ohio might make Pennsylvania
doubtful by the admittedly possible cleo
lion Of lioadly, but il Ohio shall iall back
INTO the Republican line in October, the
Convention Of to-day will have named the
Rsxt Auditor General and State Treasurer
@ Pennsylvania.
TBtSe utterances are significant as COM
ing from one OF the most accomplished
dissenters in Pennsylvania. However, Col.
Mcclure might err, It would not be in favor
slthe Republican party.
