FRANCE GETS A SLICE,

LONDON, August l0.-The French are
deriving a considerable amount OF salts.
faction from the fact that the Anglo.
French agreement respecting Africa,
from which they derive many advan-
tages, was signed while the German
Emperor was Queen Victoria's guest.
me iaris journalists are quite satisfied
that the sinister designs against France
when the Kaiser went to England have
been frustrated by NJ. Ribot's brilliant
diplomacy, and in their dreams they see
the imperial German tearing his hair
and hear him grinding his teeth at the
snub administered to him. The text OF
the treaty will no: be made public until
next week. The available information
shows that Eagland has not only recog.
nized French protectorate over NADIA

France oil routes by which commerce
passes or will pass from the north OF AT.
rica to Central Soudan, the Congo, the
great lakes and the Z.mbesi.
MIR. Chaplin, the Minister OF Agricul.
ture, has appointed a committee OF ex.
perts, with himself as President, to in
quire into the live cattle trade between
the United States and England. The
committee will hold meeting on Mon.
day, at which Samuel Pllmsoll, to
whom its appointment is due, will give
evidence. Mr.. Plimsoll says he will be
satisfied with nothing short of the total
prohibition OF the traffic, but it is prob.
able that the committee will do more
than recommend regulations decided to
mlnlmizs the sutienngs OF the animals.
MIR. Chaplin thinks this could be ar
ranged III friendly concert with the
United States authorities.
1t ls well known that he would prefer
to stop the importation OF cattle or to
cripple it by heavy duties, but the in
iluential section OF farmers who make
much money by fattening American and
Canadian store cattle are opposed to
prohibition, and public opinion would
not tolerate such step. The strenuous
efforts o: the Agricultural Department
to stamp OUT pleuro-pneumonia seema
as far from complete success as ever. In
one county alone (Cumberand) diseased
cattle valued at $4,000 have been
slaughtered this year.

Falls Heir to 81, 100000.
WASHINGTON, August lO.-1n the
morning mail Of Representative James
O'Donnell, Of Michigan, there came n
letter from Toledo in Spain. 1t was an
otlicial-like document and written ea-
tlrely in Spanish. Representative Hit
and Delegate Joseph, both OF whom are
expert Spanish scholars, together furn-
ished q satisfactory translation. The let
ter contained the startling information
that he had been made the legatee of the
will OF deceased relative in Spain and
the executor OF his estate. The amount
OF money thus left to him, as near as the
translators could make it out, amounts
TO S2,5O0,00O in American money.
The letter further stated that $1,000
hal been placed to the credit OF Mr,
ODonuell in Paris, and requested him
to appear in Spain at as early day as
possible to take the necessary legal
steps to accept his fortune. The letter
was written by priest, and was accom-
panied by the official seal OF the Arch
bishop Of Toledo.
Mr.. O'Donnell stated to his friends
that he was aware Of the existence OF
relatives in Spain; that several men,
bers of his family lett Ireland for that
country years ago during the progress
OF the wars, and have multiplied and
spread since. Mr.. O'Donnell sent his
precious letter to the State Department,
to-day, and will consult with the oiIi.
cials there as to what steps to take.

oo'eFhWeht SLOW In Giving Relief to the
Hllshted Districts.
LONDON, August 10. The potato dis.
ease continues its ravages in Ireland,
but the government has not yet shaken
OF its lethargy, and many people must
starve unless they can help themselves
or obtain assistance from the outside. A
meeting was held to-day OF the Poor
Law Guardians Of Clonakiity Union,
which embraces Il very extensive area,
most OF which has been devastated by
the disease. The Board OF Guardians in.
cludes among its members Protestant
and Catholic, landlord and tenant, but
the opinion as to the gravity OF the crisis
was absolutely unanimous, aud q reso.
luton was passed calling upon the gov.
ernment TO take steps to avert the
threatened famine.
1t is fortunate for Ireland that the
next session OF Parliament will COM
mence in November, for with the
knowledge that Liberal and Nationalist
members will demand an early account
OF their action, and an explanation OF
their shortcomings, the officers OF Dublin
Castle may be stirred up to some show
OF energy.
