the French visit to Cronstadt following so
closely his own visit 10 Russia The Rus
sian ukase is also a hard knOck, which he
would be glad to return If possible. Further,
his visit to England IS generally believed
not TO have produced the result he expected.
The reports of the actual signing of the
Franco-Russian alliance are not believed
here. On the first announcement of the
French visit TO CrOustadt, it was though,
that the French We're forcing themselves
on Russia, but the official character Of the

The grand reception promised the French

ALLIANCE WHEAT CIRCULAR.
Its Effect in the Great Wheat Districts of

Mueller, who issued the Alliance wheat
circular. says: 1--WE have received replies
from the secretaries of Alliances in South
ern Minnesota, South Dakota, Wisconsin
and Kansas. A large number from the
latter state, where the Alliance is strong,
telling Us of the Alliance having voted
favorably on the suggestion. These are the
localities TO which the circulars were first
sent. Not an unfavorable reply has been
received from an Alliance secretary In
fact the only unfavorable reply received
was one from man in Freedom county,
whose name don't recall. and he expressed
merely his individual opinion. Ny opinion
is that the farmers will allow their grain to
remain in stack and go on with their fall
work, blowing, etc, and do the threshing
afterwards. This of itself will result in a
large percentage of the crop being held for
time at all events

The appearance at Cape May OF J. :. Clark
son and Wanamaker and Elkius altogether
and in conference with the president, with
Private Secretary Halford remaining at his
hotel, SO as TO be conveniently out of the

going on. One rumor which reached here
is that the president has taken serious
alarm al the way in which the Blaine boom
rolls and reverhcrates through the land and
that he has concluded that the time has
come for Blaine himself to put stop TO il.
The president is said to understand that
the critical moment in his career has ar
rived. and that if the demand for Blaine is
permitted to 90 on swelling III volume it
will end in nothing but humiliation for him
self, and that he viii be rejected or left un-

only man who can stop the Blaine boom IS
Blaine himself, and il Is supposed here that

those who are booming Blaine, and have
prepared themselves for the appearance of

to make no difference with the Blaine boom
and the boom is to 90 on quite rs surely as
before. The determination is to make il

RUSSIANS ADVANCE.
4 Movement on The Af5haniStan Frontier.
PTOteGtOTat6 Over Persia.

LONDON, Sept. 25.-Adyices received from
Captain Younghusband, dated Kashgar, are
to the effect that, learning the Russians had
crossed the Afghan frontier in spite of pro-
tests from the Afghan authorities, and being
informed the Russians were forcing their
way toward Painters, he started out to YER
ify the reports. He found August 10th
rear guard of Russians 100 strong at Bozai-
Gumbaz, near Chitral, or Little Kashgar.
Captain Younghusband, therefore, placed
himself in communication with the British
army post at Gilchit, when British officials in
command there promptly sent force of eco
GhoOrkas to the scene of the Russian ope-
rations. The Russians, on hearing of the
approach OF tile GhoOrkas, Ietraced their
steps, and, Joining the rear guard, the whole
force returned across the frontier.
Letters from Njni NOvgorod merchants
state that Afghanistan has been opened by
the Ameer to the free commercial inter-
course with Russia. The concession Is said
to have been made in consideration Of the
excellent quality of Russian products, but
it is really due to Russian adrOitneSs and to
valuable gifts, ETC., sent from the Gar.
VIENNA, Sept 25.-RusSian troops are
practicing forced night marches and ether
night maneuyers across the River Pruth, on
the ROumanian frontier, with the aid Of
electric lights. The ROumanian Govern
ment has become alarmed at these warlike
demonstrations and is also concentrating
troops on its frontier and has ordered a
force Of cavalry to Upper Moldavia.
The commercial treaty now being nego-
tiated between Russia and Persia will pro-
vide for the relegaton Of the duty of repre-
sentng the two countries abroad to a single
represen tatiVe. This probably implies a
Russian pTOteCtoTate over Persia.

BUFFALO, Sept. 25-The greatest surprise
connected with the meeting of the German
American Clerical Union in this city came
out last night. 1t was the leaking out Oh
the fact that Herr Cahensley's personal
representative has been present in the city
throughout the whole weeks deliberations,
and was only prevented at the last moment
from making the opening address oil the
congress by having been shown by some
members of the Committee on Arrange
mentS the intolerable position in which the
Clerical Union and Congress would Do

nectiOn between them being publicly es-
tablished. Paul Mare Won Marten is the

ent of the present Catholic Bishops, whose
authority would thus be relegated 20 al

States were to be filled, to the greatest
extent possible, by German social-eccie-
siastics.

was diSagreeaby surprised last evening
when lie was asked concerning the presence
of Baumgarten of Buffalo and the extent 10
which he has participated in the meeting OF
the Clerical Union. Up to that moment no
priest had breathed in public the fact tnat
visitor to the congress was present from
across the water, though the clergy have
been besieged repeatedly for the names OF
all important personages present. Father
BOrnman said angrily: HE has not opened

He is not a priest"
DR.. Hoelscher Of Buffalo admitted that he
had met BaumgaIten, and that the latter
had attended, the banquet of the clergy yes-
terday afternoon, but declared that Baum-
garten was given seat at a side table, aud
did not sit with Archbishop Kalzer and the
Bishops. To a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press BaumgaIten answered to ques-
tions that he came here from Rome on the
18th of last month; that he did not leave
Rome for the purpose Of attending the con-
gTess; that the dispatch published in the
newspapers of this country about month
ago accusing him of cooperating with
Cahensey in the plans for the United
States was false; that he only met Cahens-

he was not in sympathy with him or his
