obtaining the necessary funds to prosecute it,
and our bonds drawing u sni per cent. annual
interest were sold with difficulty in Europe at
heavy discount Every one knows the financial
history of the country since that day. Today
could place thousand millions of United States
bonds, drawing 3 per cent, at a premium of at
least five cents on the dollar, provided, of course,
that the bonds had a long time to run"
but how win the war between England and

Gladstone has already asked Parliament for a

amount of money, and France has found that
herenormous debt must be still further increased
because of the expenses of the Tonquin cam
paign If aostilities begin in earnest between
Russia and England, the calls for money will
aggregate billions. American capitalists will be
called upon to furnish portion of this amount,
and they will respond"
DO you anticipate that market for French
and Russian securities will be found in thia
countryp
II do not believe that Russian paper can be
disposed Of to any great extent but French
bonds will be in greater or less demand. British
consois have already arm place in the mar
kets as permanent securities, for !,
s certain that as long as England
remains nation the interest on her obligations
will be promptly met. For this reason the
British consols will always be in demand by
those who desire n safe investment, even at a
low rate of interest. The fact that United
States bonds are scarce and high makes the sale
of consols much more easy, too"
I'm the event of war, would rot American
capitalists shun foreign securites2'
mo; on the contrary, as soon as war has been
declared think there will be growing demand,
especially if the paper is offered at discount
great enough to induce speculation, which it will
be in many instances. In fact, see every indi-
cation to believe that 100000 600 of foreign
securities could be disposed of on this side of
the Atlantic, if the inducements are sufficiently
great. That is where We shall show OR re-

Movement Indicating a Russo-French Al
lance.
LONDON, April 24-M Barrere, the French
harge d'affares at Cairo has been instructed
by his government to suspend all official rela
tions with Egypt, and to make the declaration to
the government of Egypt that France declines to
sanction the Egyptian financial convention, and
reserves to herself complete liberty of action.
M. Barrere has delayed his departure from
Cairo. 1t is stated that Egypt now offers to
compromise the dispute with France concerning
the seizure and suppression of the Bosphore
Egyptien by making an apology and by admit
ting that her officials violated the I hits of dom
icile of the publisher; the apology, however, to
contain no alluson to the seizure of the Bos-
phore Egyptien.
The breaking off of official relations between
France and Egypt, the announcement of which
rupture was made at Paris this morning, in a
dispatch from Cairo, was entirely unexpected by
the people, and the news has created great SEN
sation. This act OF France is considered to be
unmistakable evidence that there is an under
standing between France and Russia.
In the lobbies of the House of Commons, this
afternoon, it was said that Mr.. Gladstone, pale
and agitated, made an almost pathetic appeal to
the members of Parliament not to press upon
the government questions concerning the situa-
tion IN Egypt, or the condition of the correspond
ence with Russia on the Afghan boundary. Mr..
Gladstone, it was claimed, was evidently much
disturbed by the news from Cairo this morning,
of the rupture by France of her relations with
Egypt A later dispatch reports that diplomatic
relations have not been broken off.

The First Craft Through.
Special Telegram to the Inter Ocean.


MILWAUKEE, Wis. May 6.-With the
exception Of few hours which were
lost on account of being stuck in the
ice in and about the straits, the passage
of the propeller Altoona from Toledo to
this port was successful for time and
speed. She arrived in port at o'clock
this forenoon with 1,l50 tons of coal,
just eighty hours out from Toledo. Cap
tain Chamberlain, in speaking of the
passage up, says:
I'VE came through the south passage,
and first sncOunted ice near old Mackln-
aw. The ice from the "Shank" up to the
Skilligalee had not broken up at all, al
though it was very rotten, and the Alec
ma went through with much trouble.
Above the Skilligalee up to the head OF
the Beavers we met large fields of heavy
ice, which we avoided by running around
them. We met the steambarge Marcy
downward bound, at WaugOshance light
house at six o'clock yesterday mOrning,
and sighted the propeller Lawrence
some two or three hours later. She was
stuck in the ice about ten miles from
Skilligalee. We saw no sail vessels
however, and were surprised not to meet
the Chicago and Milwaukee grain fleets
in the Straits. We encountered thick
weather after leaving the Beavers up to
this morning. When we laid in the ice
on Monday night a violent sn6wstorm
set In, and there was fully three inches
of snow on the Alcona's deck. The snow
turned to rain, and it rained steadily
until Yesterday noon. As soon as yes
sells commence TO move the ice will
break up and move out of the straits,
and both steam and sail craft can get
through now without much difficulty.
The Iron Age which probably left Toledo
last hight, will probably arrive in Mil
waukee the latter part of the week.
The Altoona is the first vessel which
has reached Lake Michigan from any of
the lower lakes, and she is the bearer of
the FIRST tidings of the actual condition
of the ice at the lower end Of the lake.
Navigation is open to sJoam vessels
without doubt, but there is great
deal of doubt about sail vessel reae h.
ing Cheboygan for week at least.

Garland Hates Doctors.

was told of another Of Attorney Gen.
oral Garland's peculiarities by friend
the ether day. He hates doctors. When
ever he hears of friend being sick he
takes the trouble to warn him that the
medical profession is humbug. and the
only way to DO sure of recovery is to let
it alone. He says he never had doctor
in his life, and consequently keeps well.
But the other day he broke faith. He
was taken with peculiar allment. At
first he thought he was getting fat, but
il was all confined to his face, and he
did not know what to make OF 1t. Di-
rectly his jaws swelled out to immense
size and became very painful. He en-
dured 1t long time, but finally grabbed
UP his hat and went to see doctor who
had an office within square. lie said
he thought he was poisoned but he had
no idea who had done it. II don't think
you are poisoned" said the doctor after
examining his face very carefully.

General left the office in rage, mutter-
ing "Mumps! mumps wonder If 1t isn't

silver and Eggs.

New York Evening Post: Mr.. Edward
Atkinson, the Boston statistician, salsu-
lates that the total annual product Of
we are putting our currency and credit
in peril. and taxing ourselves $2O00O00
month, is much less valuable than the
annual hen eggs of the country, which
enjoy no protection at all. Yet man
who proposed that the Treasury should
purchase every month 100000 worth
of eggs, and establish ineubaters to hatch
them in, and henneries for the chickens,
until purchasers were found, and hire
Mr.. Evarts to go abroad to persuade Eu-
roUean governments not to go into the
egg business in the same way, so as to
sustain the market, would be looked on
as crazy.

A Bet With Odds.

One day in 1879, during the progress
of game between the Cincinnatis and
BOstOAs at the avenue grounds, Charley
Johnston, of the VOlksbatt. was very
persistent in "bOning" a brother news
paper man for a bet on some possible
point Of the game. The b. n. IN. would
not bet, however, but finally in sheer
desperation said, as Will White came to
the bat: I'll bet you that man doesn't
make home rum" White at that time
usually struck out, and was net known
to hit hard. The offer was, therefore. not
a'flattering one, and Johnston replied:
what odds will you give?" The reply
came assuredly and boldly: "My watch
and chain against quarter" "What
are they WORTH" asked Johnston. tive
hundred and fifty dollars" was the re-
ply. Johnston studied a moment and
then said: It'll 20 you" The quarter
and the watch were handed over to Jer-
ry Cochran Jas stakeholder. Just then
White whanged away ut the ball and it
went away down toward the carriage
gate, over center fieldsr's head. He had
never before made home run, but it
now seemed assured. He lest little
ground by stumbling over third, and
came into collision with the ball right
at the home plate Even then there was
a doubt as to whether he had scored or
not, but when the umpire said "Outv" the
owner of the watch sank back on the
bench speechless, moist, cold and almost
paralyzed. After he had regained the
power of speech he whispered: Boys,
I've made my last bet. Take me hOme."
A week later he appeared on the streets
and sw0re he didn't stop sweating for
hol to close the pores. Cincinnati Com
