ARMY MANEUvERs.

The AIsstians. Do Not Like the German
Soldiers.
LONDON, Sept. 4.-The German maneu-
vers in Alsace-Lorraine are not on the
same large scale as those which the Ger
man kaiser is witnessing in Austria, but
they are exciting good deal more inter
est across the frontier in France, where
the French are also going through the
evolutions OF mimic war. The German
military display does not attract the
same admiration and attention as the
French among the surrounding people,
The Alsatians ignore the parade just as
sullenly as they did twenty years ago,
when the Germans took possession. A
Paris correspondent who has visited AL
SAGE says there is no genuine change in
the attachment of the people to France,
and that the Germans are looked upon
as a foreign garrison. Both Germans
and French are using smokeless powder,
and the old powder seems to have been
finally discarded, or at least relegated to
use i'll fighting the savages of Africa,
where the noise is potent factor in sue
cessful combat. The Germans have
stood the marching we'll, and it is, per-
haps, of some interest, in view of the
troubled condition of European affairs,
that long marchiug has so far been the
the chief feature of the maneuvers.

Young ralleyrand,s Engagement.

The engagement of the youthful Comte
de Talleyrand Perigord to Mile. de Ro-
han Chabot, daughter of the Prince and
Princess de Leon, has raised the ques-
ton in aristocratic Paris as to the most
fitting age at which young men and
maidens should enter the holy state of
matrimony. The French aristocracy, it
appears, is divided on the matter.
The Due de Broglie was twenty-four
when he married, the Due de Fezensac
only twenty-five, but Prince Alphonse
was thirty-seven and Prince Ludovic
forty y-seven when they quilted the ranks
of the bachelors. On the whole, how
ever, it seems that the average age at
which the inhabitants of the Faubourg
Saint German marry is tSenty-six;
that of the ladies of the same quarter is
not given, probably on the principle that
''a woman on her wedding is exactly the
age she looks-"-Pall Mall Gazette.

The Story Was Utterly False.

LONDON, Sept. 4.-What turns out to
have been cruel and utterly unwar-
ranted sensational story was circulated
by a news agency yesterdaG. The news
referred to in dispatch dated Paris,
and was to the effect that train loaded
with troops bound for the French army
maneuvers had run off the rails and over
an dmbankm9nt at Culment de Chal-
andry, and that 200 persons were killed.
This morning 4he report turns out to be
completely false.

HANGING HIMSELF WITH HIS
OWN ROPE.

A short time ago the East Oregonian
commented, in its usual reckless and in
s0fting manner, on a paragraph which it
had credited to the CHRONICLE. hut of
which not word ever appeared in this
journal. In fact the paragraph was
written by Mr.. Morgan of the Sun and
as it was first wrongfully credited by the
Portland Telegram, Mr.. Morgan himself
called attention editorially to the error.
Last night the Times Mountaineer dished
up to its readers the lying comment of
the Pendleton paper, when Mr.. Michel
must have known. well that the para
graph never appeared in this journal.
The statement is made and copied, of
course from the stock lies of the Times
MOuntaineer, that this journal was
started to kill off the TimeS-M -Mountdineer.
Every body here knows, of course, how
utterly false the charge is. There is no
need for any outside effort to kill the
paper. Its brainless and insane editor
is killing it off as fast as he can by filling
II with matter not fit to appear in any
sheet claiming to be respectable. Instead

as if any one cared to read the twaddle,
and pulling the CHRoNIcLE down would
build the I'aaaes-MOutaineer up. The re-
suit Is a. might be expected. Before
the CHRONICLE was seven months old it
came within IA names of having as
many subscribers in the county as it's
contemporary that has seen TN existence
of over thirty years and as hundreds of
new names have been added since, we
claim that our weekly circulation is the
largest of any paper in the county and
our daily circulation is not less than
three times greater than that of our con-
temporary. This result has been reached
by minding our own businss, and only
noticing the Times-Mountaineer when
necessity compels US to do so-a course
we intend to continue to pursue.

HI. Nose Cut or by a Barber.

Letter Carrier G.. w. Yost went into a
Western Addition barber shop to get
shaved. His face was lathered and the
barber was strapping the razor on strap
affixed to the chair in which Mr.. Yost
reclined. Suddenly, by some unaccount-
able slip of the BARRIERS arm. the razor
flashed by Yost's face and severed his
nose completely. The poor young man
will be dis6gured for life, and when he
saw his nose lying on the floor he first
wept and then tainted from loss of
blood. OF course the barber apologized

LONDON, Sept. -, 1S91.-Despite the re-
ports that Mr.. Gladstone's vigor is nm
abated and his strength sufficient for the
coming campaign and for the active
leadership OF the Liberal party at the
head of the government once more, the
Grand Old Mans most intimate friends
and associates find, in their intercourse
with him of late. distinct traces of grow
ing weakness and occasional lapses of
memory aud other symptoms OF increas-
ing senility, which cause them the grav-
est anxiety. Mr.. Gladstone himself
feels that his marvellous powers are
waning, and has become increas-
ingly anxious TO see the succession 20 the
party leadership settled as soon as posi-
BILE, so that in the event of his death or
disability ut an important junctuse the
Liberals may not be left without a sure
hand at the helm or be obliged to tight
out their internal differences when affars
of State demand their entire attention.
Mr.. Gladstone has thrown his influence
in favor of Lord Rosebery. his intimate
personal friend and a Liberal peer Of calm
and conservative mind, as AGAINST Sir
William Vernon Harcourt his most
active and eloquent coadJutor in the
Commons, and q politician of grent force
of character and aggressively Liberal
sentiments.
A section of the Radicals, led by Mr..
Henry Labouchere, prefer Mr.. John Nor
ley as the future leader. and as a man of
distinctly Radical tendencies, although
of confirmed literary tastes and junior
in statecraft. Failing MIN they would
like Harcourt, regarding him as ductile
politician and an expert debater. They
hold that Rosebery is impossible, because
he sits iii the House of Lords.
