THE MONsEA INTERVIEW.

Conversation Which Took Place Be-
tween Humbert and Giers.
PARIS, Oct. 27.-For the last two weeks
the whole European press has been
speaking on the Monsea interviewed
what was said between the King of Italy
and the Russian Minister Of Foreign At
fairs. Several versions have been given
here as to the truth. [ have spoken with
one person who assisted at this meeting

l am authorized to say that three persons
were in the room-king Hum bert. NJ
De GIers and Count Nigra, Italian Em-
basSador at Vienna. 1t was Count Nigra
who conducted the negotiations at Venice.
where he saw Giers, who did not wish to
take decisive step before referring to the
Gar. He telegraphed to Fredensberg,
but the reply not arriving, ne thought the
Gar did not care to reply. He left Venice
but at the station at Verona a telegram
was handed to him containing these
words: "Why not"
NJ. De Giers at once descended from the
train and stopped at Verona, where
Count Nigra Joined him, and it was at
the hotel that it was decided that King
Humbert would receive the Russian
Minister, while the Marquis di Rudini
would be received by his Russian col
Iedg lIS dI hlldil. Mig I1uinDefG received
Giers in small square salon, which was
upholstered in light cloth. After having
shaken the Russian Minister'S hands he
unbuttoned his coat. crossed his legs and
said:
''What does France want of us? Every
moment there is some new incident.
Now it is the pilgrims, again the Nice
manifestation and nearly every day from
tier violations. She closes her markets
10 us; she wishes TO ruin US. For what
reason? Is it that she has something
against Italy? No, it is against mon
archy. Without cessation she speaks of
triple alliance; without ceasing she
tries to make believe that she is about to
be attacked, whereas she is the aggres-
sor. We are pacific; we wish for
peace. There is not a single word which
concerns Russia in the treaty with Ger
many. 1t is only question of defense,
and of defense against France. We wish
for peace; nothing but peace, protection,
social order. Peace, peace, peace.''
Giers declared to the King in a very calm
and respectful tone, that the Gar also de-
sired peace; that he had horror of war,
and that he hoped strongly that his
reign would terminate without his hav-
ing to deplore a bloody war. Then he
explained the rapproachement between
France and Russia, which was quite pa
cific.

LOWERED HIS RECORD.
THE STALLION PALO ALTO TROTS
A MILE IN 2:1O FLAT.

snecial to the REcoRp-uNroN.

STOCKTON, Oct. "a week ago to-day
the famous stallion Palo Alto, years
old, was driven by Charles Marvin in
2:114, lowering his record one second.
To-day Marvin drove him a mile over
the Stockton track in 2:10, lowering his
record one and a quarter seconds, and
equaling Nelson's time.
Palo Alto came out last week limping
from an old lameness of several years
standing, and many borsemen said he
could not lower his record, but he has
been improving all the while, and now it
is the general belief of turfmen that
week hence he will go the mile faster
than AllertonS record of 2:094
The horse came out fresh and fast to-
day, and in his warming-up it was seen
that he was ready to go very fast mile
After three miles of preliminary work,
Marvin nodded for the word, and. with a
runner close up, Palo Alto was sent away
at record-breaking gait. Marvin had
his hands full to hold the old fellow down
to the proper rating, but he kept him
level, and went to the quarter in 0:32,
which was said by many to be too fast.
With Marvin pulling hard he went to the
half-mile in l:O3l, making just one skip in
the quarter. The runner kept in close
quarters, and the trotter was full of rae
ing spirits. He went to the three-quarter
post in 1851, strong and game. In the
straight finish, where many thought he
would weaken, the old hero came down
well within himself, and made his great
est race strong, with Marvin swishing his
whip occasionally, but not using it, when
he went under the wire in desperate
finish.
Three timers made the record 2:10 fat,
and great shout went up. But for the
break he would have got in faster. He
cooled out well, and did not show distress
over the effort If the weather holds good
he will GO against his record week from
to-day.
After Palo Altos wonderful perform

old, made 2:27 in race against Boodle.

Stamboul has been ordered home, and
