the hapless Vandalia and she must soon have tho Trenton upon her. Captain Kane determined to trust his powerful engines and make for tho open sea. It was a momentous resolve, for the an- chors and engines together had failed to save tho other vessels in tho harbor
 When Captain Kane threw the head of the corvette into the teeth of the storm, and slipped his cables, the Calliope, for an appreciable period of time, remained perfectly still. Then she gathered head way by inches, and finally moved at a snail's pace past tho Trenton. AS the Calliope steamed into safety, the four hundred and fifty men who formed the officers and crew of the Trenton, though momentarily expecting fatal disaster to themselves, raised a ringing cheer as a tribute to the brave daring of the Eng fish commander. The crew of the Calli- ope returned the greeting as heartily.
 It Is further stated that Lieut., Brown and the other officers and crew of the Trenton, in their perilous but inevitable approach to the wreck of the Vandalia, behaved with admirable courage and good order; tho ship. while drifting on was so maneuvred as to lessen the shock, half the men being sent into the rigging to shift the weight to one side, while the band played "The Star-Span-
 gled Banner" to keep them in good heart. They touch ed the Vandalia lightly, and

 We at last learn tho cause of Belgium's unfriendly attitude toward Gen. Boulan- ger, at least we think we know, which amounts to the same. The Belgian cabi- net Is reactionary one. by the way, and no lover of the French republic. Prince do Chimoy, the French minister, Is rela-
 ton of MacMahon, too, and would be glad to do an Ill turn to the Opportunists. But Belgians of all parties value their neutral position, to which they owe so much of their prosperity. It was repre- sented by M. Spuller to Baron de Beyens, the Belgian minister at Paris. that war was being carried on by the Boulangists against the government of the republic, on the Belgian territory. If 1t was con- tinued France could not fall to sec in it departure from the neutral spirit which had guided the councils of the late and the present kings of the Belgians. Prince
 Bismarck also had something to say. Gen. Boulanger was a military man, and might soon be at the head of the French nation. Was it not to be feared that he would try to create the nucleus of a
 French faction, if allowed to reside here, and was it not certain that he would make
 himself too we'll acquainted with the
 military resources and the state of her defenses? This argument came home to
 King Leopold and his ministers. While tho Boulanger question was being dis cuSsed. the king was at his country seat pare for the discharge of his religious cation by telephone with the prime min-
 ister, and was really uneasy till 1t was settled that the general, to avoid being expelled, was to leave ''of his own ac- cord"
