PEACE IN NKADAGASCAR.

The French Conclude Treaty With the Eaovas Ely Which the Former Practically Get Control of the Es- land.
 LONDON, Dec. 22.-The long standing war fare between France and the Hovas of Mada- gascar is announced as having been termi- mated by the conclusion of a treaty of peace signed at Antanirvo. Such terms of the agreement as have been cabled to Paris give
 the following particulars: France assumes
 protectorate over the island and will retain
 the troops now there as an army of occupa-
 ton pending the settlement of war inden1-
 nifty amounting to ten million francs which
 has been exacted from the Madagascans The
 Queen of the Hovas, the ruling race of na-
 tives, retains her sovereignty over the entire
 island in name at least, but France appoints
 president of council who may select cab
 inet and will have direction of foreign
 affairs. He will be protected by permanent
 guard of French officers. It will thus be seen
 that French influence is to be supreme and
 that France has gained practically all that
 she has sought during the protracted and
 sanguinary conflict with the patriotic people
 of the island It is probable that some of the half savage coast tribes whose subnnis- sion to the Hovas has hardly been more than nominal will yet require to be subdued by vigorous campaign before the French gain complete control of the coast to prevent smuggling and piracy and enjoy the rich trade of this marvellously productive island While the news of the signing of the treaty is official, the particulars thus far received are too meagre to form basis of opinion as to whether or not Great Britain can consistently permit it's ratification in view of | this governments previous protest against i the action of France in forcing a war of in l vasion upon the inoffensive Hovas. Great l Britain's interest in Madagascar, while not l so ancient as that of France, is more tangible 1 and definite. It was under the influence of l English agents and missionaries in 1910 that 1 Madagascar first became factor in interna- tional commerce and began to emerge from | organism, and there will be strong public opposition to allowing this rich island do- main, second in size only to Australia, to slip entirely out of England's jurisdiction.

THE KING OF CLUB SWINGERS Anxious to Add Another to His List
 Of Victims.

of Victims.
 Few men are better known in the sporting world than Gus Hill, .lle famous club swing CT who is one of the chief attractions at the American Theater this week. For years he has been the acknowledged king of the art, and this reputation has been gained in many a hard fought contest in which his opponents have succumbed to his superior skill. Tre phies without number, many of them of great value, are in his possession, and no man that ever swung clubs can boast such an unbroken record of victories. In one hundred and two contests that he has been engaged in he has won every one, and among his antagonists were the best known men in the profession. He now holds fifty eight medals and the championship belt; he also holds the Police Gazette championship medal, and Richard K. Fox, the proprietor of the Gazette, has a any club swinger in the world. MT. Hill is good looking young man of very pleasant appearance, and when speaking of his achievements was modest and unassuming, prepossessing the listener at once in his favor. He is of light build, and few would judge from his appearance that he possessed such strength and powers of endurance as he displays in his club swing ing. His arms, however, are unusually mus cular, and every movement IS full of grace and rapidity. MT. Hill swings the heaviest clubs with ease, his Jumbo club. weighing 115 pounds, being probably the heaviest in existence, certainly the heaviest swung in public exhibitions.
 Mr. Hill is evidently anxious to carry new laurels with him when he leaves this city next Saturday night, appears from the card published below which he says was drawn out by the repeated declarations of MT. Dudley and his friends that the latter wished to get on match with him. Should Mr. Dudley accept the challenge and the con- test take place it will awaken much interest, for Mr. Dudley is no amateur at manipulating the clubs, aud his friends claim that he will give the king of clubs hard battle. MT. Hills challenge is as follows:
 NEW HAVEN, Dec. g, 1885.
 thereby challenge MT. William Dudley, of this city, to club swinging contest to take place at the American Theater at the Satur- day matinee. If MT. Dudley does not wish to swing for money I will swing for fun, just to show up his knowledge of the art.

Parnen Advises His Colleagues to
 Play Waiting Game.
 LONDON, Dec 22- Mr. Herbert Gladstone writes
 to the United Press that he fears the Tories
 will wash their hands of Parnell now that
 they have had the benefit of the Irish vote.
 He believes that an active continuance of
 party warfare is the only method of getting
 justice for Ireland. Lord Rosebery, MT.
 Gladstone's chief lieutenant in Scotland, writes to the United Press that he is willing to concede home rule to Ireland on the con
 dition that the unity of the empire is main taned.
 Mr. Parnell has informed his colleagues that it would be unwise at present to formu- late their demands in behalf of Ireland. He believes that the proper policy now is to play a waiting game and meantime to carefully watch and study all political events affecting the cause.
 In an interview to-day James O'Kelley, one of MT Parnells most trusted lieutenants, | said Mr. Gladstone had now a good oppor- | tunity of settling the Irish home rule ques l tion to the enormous benefit of both Ireland | and England, and that no one was more competent to settle this question which had vexed both nations for centuries. MT. O'Kel- | ley added that the Irish parliamentary party | would meet next month to decide upon the l policy to be pursued at the opening of Par l liament in February.
 | The Rt. Hon. William E. Forster who was l chief secretary for Ireland in MT. Gladstone s 1 cabinet, denounces MT. Gladstone's scheme | for the concession of home rule or a parlia- | ment for Ireland. He says that Irish inde- | pendence in any form would fail to solve the l difficulty and would be fraught with danger | to both Great Britain and Ireland.
