ALLIANCE WITH RUSSIA.


Openly Advocated in the French Chamber
of Commerce.
PARIS, Nov. Elm the deputies to-day,
during debate on foreign estimates, Bel
cass, of the right, renewed the attack on
the African convention with England. He
advocated an alliance with Russia. Ribot.
minister of foreign affairs declared that
France was peaceably inclined and threat
ened nobody. At the same time she did not
conceal the fact that she was placing her
armies in position in which they woold
be ready for every emergency. With ref
erence to the British occuaption of Egypt,
he asked if any one could suggest practical
means of obtaining the immediate evacna-
ton of the country. France must wait for
England to fulfil her promises.
The proposal to reject the credit for an
EN- bassy to the vatican was rejected by a
vote of 317 to POS. When the estimates for
the war department came up, Cochrey. on
behalf of the committee on war estimates,
said that every possible economy had been
effected. Notwithstanding the greater
forces of France, ordinary war expenditures
amounted to $4,000, 900 francs against Ger
many's 500, coo. 600, while the extra expendl-
lures amounted to only 20S, 600, 600. against
Germany's 325,O00,0OO. Germany took the
initiative in increasing military strength
and France WAS obliged to follow. The
government was not responsible for this
state of affairs. which was injuring tho
economical interests interests of Europe.
Probably within a few years fresh expenses
must be borne by France in order to main
tain her military power. but he was sure the
chamber would grant everything necessary
to ensure the country moral and material
greatness. Cockrey's remarks wore received
with great applause.

What 10 Thought by Senator German and
Senator DOlph.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Ex-senator German in
an interview here to-day. said tho victory
of democracy was an expression of the peo-
pie against the radical measures such as
had been brought fourth during this con-
Rress. The senator was asked if he thought
the victory would be lasting, and if it
would give the democrats the next presi-
dent. ut depends upon their course. II
they are cautious and conservative, they
may expect long lease of power.''
Senator Dolph in explanation Of the re-
suit of the election, said it was an off
yoar. and the friends of the tariff were in
active, while those on tho other side were
working with all their might. "The manu-
facturers," he said. '.aot what they wanted
ween the Mckinley bill was passed, and
they did not care any more about it. The
result would have been different if the pas
sage of the bill had not been delayed until
just before the election. The artificial in
crease in prices made in some commodities
without the slightest reason, also had its
effect.''

The Country Dealers.

The tobacco market opened strong
this week, developing slight ad
vances on substantial grades but
nondescript-such as worm eaten,
house burnt and light, chaffy stuff
is still in the soup, and likely to
remain there, and all such that may
be grown this year will go in to keep
it company.
There is very little old tobacco on
the market now none belonging to
farmers. Buyers still hold a few
hogsheads in soak for nest eggs. The
market needs to improve very much
yet to bring country dealers out sale,
and we hope it will. Say what they
may about the country dealers, they
have been the farmers best friends
this year, paying liberal prices,
above the market value, taking it in
high order, relieving the planters Of
the care and responsibility early.
Now, if they can get out whole, they
will be ready to go in freely again
for the next crop, for they are san

eager for trade, and we'll educated in

plant large crop and depress the

ers, for they will all be left with the
