The French arc playing "Pcek-a-Boo"
with the Germans Sixty thousand repeat |
ing rifles will be distributed to that portion |
of her army on the Alsacc Lorraine front by |

parties who could suit the local governor
in the capacity of editors. AS regards local

clauses, for the surrender Of dynamite mis-
crcants.

| decrease. Payments have been unusually
hcavy, over $4,000, 600 having been paid
| out this week on pensions alone.

San Francisco dispatches, of july ~
give further details of Tie carthuakc in
New Zealand. The severity Of the shocks
| caused the inhabitants to rush in all (lircc-
, t0nS. The second shock produced Il vol
; cano, magnitiiccntly and awfully grand
which illuminated the country for sixty
miles. The escaped natives, gathered in
groups on the hill sides the smoke. and
huge masses OF fire resembling mctcOrs,
presented panoramic view in all its real
istic horrors which human nature desires
not to witness, at least again, and the sccrs
| OF the forest not at all.

1t is rumorcd that the commercial rcla
tlons of the United States with South
America arc to be still lurihcrStrcnglhcncd

country TO Brazil and the Argentine Con-
federation. 1t is probable that the cable
will be in operation by january /, with
the immediate result Of reducing the rate
per word from $2.0l, the present tariff, to
81. Under the present system eleven ''rc.
