Today. as yesterday, as tomorrow, and
as for long time TO come, the situation
Of France and Germany forms the great
subject of anxiety which is imposed
upon the meditation Of all European
statesmen. At no other point is it fore
seen that war can break out Russia has
great ambitions and Italy has strong de-
sires, but Russia is for years doomed
merely to cherish ambitions. for shecan-
not realize them single handed, and il
does not depend upon her to provoke a
general war, which would be one result
of her combined action with France;
while as for Italy. she will never venture
TO give the signal of war, for if she did
she would be left to herself and would
be speedily crushed 1t could be solely
as the result of general war that Italy
could obtain her share, and in the pres
ent state Of her alliances she could take
that share only from France, so that q
general war alone could procure it for
her. inasmuch as, if she were left single
handed, she would not be able to over
come France.
Neither Austria nor England dreams
of war. It is therefore still. as twenty
years ago. France and Germany who
could occasion war; because, whatever
may be alleged, whatever may be pro-
claimed or whatever may be concealed,
these two nations desire war-war, first
for its own sake, and next for the rest;
and if, in order % have done with this
everlasting Franco-German nightmare,
Europe could now promise to fold her
arms, and afterward to intervene merely
as arbiter. war would break out to-nor-
row between Fmnce and Germany, for

The Eastern Pugiiist Broke His Hand
In the First Round But Ecre
the Pain Pluckily.

ST. PAUL, Feb. io.--The fight tonight between
Denny Keiliher and the Black Pearl lasted ten
rounds, and ended in draw
1t was learned after the fight that kelliher had
broken one of the small bones in his left
hand in the first round by striking the Pearl a
heavy blow in the right ear. He used the hand
constantly throughout the fight, but ii gave him
great pain and was at the end almost twice as
large about the wrist as an ordinary hand.
kelliher had very much the best OF the open
ing round and pounded his man all over the
ring. In the second round the Boston boy
landed so heavy on the Africans breast that the
recoil sent him backward under the ropes, and
when he got up the Pearl smashed him
twice on the head, dazing him TO some extent.
This round was the Pealrs. The third was an
even thing. The fourth was Kellihers and the
fifth and sixth were the negros-
After this the Eastern pugilist had everything
his own way. Planting a highlander in the
Pearls iuglar in the seventh, he knocked him
on the ropes and sent him to his corner groggy
with highlander in the jaw.
In the eighth Kelliher placed an awful blow
in the Pearls coliarbone, and then chased him
around the ring, landing blows all over his face
and body.
In the ninth the Bostonian hammered away
on the Africans face, but was unable TO land a
Knockout blow. The last round was in favor of
the Eastern pugilist, but the colored man seemed
to get his second wind, and fought so much bet
ter than in the early rounds that Referee Mannix
declared the fight draw.

FIGHTING FOR DRY DOCK.
Washington and Oregon Senators Talk
Against Each other.

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. le.-ISpecial. 1.-The
Washington and Oregon senators had square
set-to today in the Senate over the question of
the dry dock site, efforts for the states having
brought the men from each into directly oppo-
site positions. Ii was the rivalry OF Puget
sound and the Columbia river. The bill at first
named Port Orchard, on the Sound, but as it is,
as already known in Washington, il was
amended to locate the dock ON the Columbia
river.
Senator Allen moved TO amend by striking out
the Columbia river and increasing the appro-
priation for the purchase.
Senator Dolph vigorously fought this PROPOSE
tion. He said that Senator Allen ought TO trust
the question 10 the discretion of the secretary of
the navy, especially as the committees action
had been taken after the committee had reported
!. favor OF Port Orchard. He favored the Col
,mbss because the soundings We're more reiia-
bic It>was nearer the ocean, located on fresh
water, and the fsrtihcations ut the mouth OF the
river would give an added advantage.
senator Allen spoke for his amendment There
would never be trouble for lack of water. He
ahen quoted from the report of the commission,
showing the natural advantages OF the Sound,
with its coal, timber, and its convenient railway
tributaries.
The senate then adjourned before action was
taken. There are strong indications that the
Puget sound site viii be the one selected.
There was rather exciting debate in the Sem
ate today between Senators Allen and Dolph
over the dry dock clause OF the naval appropria-
ton bill. Heretofore the Washington and Ore
gon delegations have worked in harmony, with
excellent results for the Northwest, but today
they fought like brothers, and there
is no possibility of the breach being
closed until after the bill is passed
Through the Vaccinations of Senator Dolph,
It is charged that the committe on naval affairs
was induced to change that part of the bill re-
lating 10 the Puget sound dry dock so that the
Columbia river claims would be considered and
Port Orchard would not be considered as the ac-
cepted site; and also consenting to reduce the
area OF the land to be occupied so to confne
the proposed improvement to dry dock, shut
ting out the naval station project entirely.
Today Senator Allsn moved to amend by strik-
ing out Columbia river and providing for the
purchase of 300 acre more than the bill calls
for. Senator Dolph replied rather hotly, say
ing be had no intention of resisting the location
OF the dry dock on Puget sound, but
he thought the Columbia river should
be given a chalce. He thought more
aepsh OF water coull be obtained there soon
rs the jetty is Completed and the dry dock
would have the advantage OF being located Ia
fresh water. where ne deadly teredo does not
thrive. The amefhment went over without
action

SWAsHINGToF CITY, Feb. 1o.-The sub-commit-

ing: The dream of the new submarine cable
which American statesmen have urged for q
quarter OF q century, connecting the United
States directly with the Hawaiin Islands, Japan
and Australia, promises to become reality in
the near future
The Senate has taken long step in advance
OF the House, and IL congressional action upon
the proposition be secured at this session, it
will be principally due to the Senate 1t is but
q few weeks since the bill was introduced.
!. IL provides that the government shall allow
1900, COO to be paid in round fums OF $780,
UoU Tor the period of twelve years. The
government in return is to be given q hand
some concession, not the least OF which will be
absolute control OF the cable in time of war.
Ihe naval appropriation bill, which was
passed by the senate today, contained appro-
priatIon OF $4,000 for the survey of the pro-
posed route When the sundry civil bin reaches

this effect was favorably reported from

Is that the appropriations committee will en-
graft 1t upon the sundry civil bill, which is now
before them. Should they do this and the Sen

FIENDISH MURDER AT NAPA.
California Village Horrified by Violent
Death and Robbery of Citizen.

NAPA, Cal, Feb. 10.-At Greenwood ranch, six
miles south of here, terrible crime was COM
mitted last night by two iends in human FORM
Mr.. Greenwood was assaulted and drugged and
afterwards shot, and his wife received the same
treatment, dying of her injuries The object of
the murder was robbery, but the men gained
very little for their work.
The story OF the crime, as told by Mr.. Green
wood, is as follows: Just before dark last night
two men approached him while in the rear of
his house, and putting pistols to his head de-
manded his money. They took him into the
Kitchen, bound him to a chair and forced
him to drink some drug dissolved in
water, which partially stupefed him. About
this time Mrs. Greenwood, who had been away,
drove up to the house. The robbers seized her
and dragged her into the kitchen, tied her
hands behind her and gave her some of the
drug They then carried her into the bedroom,
where they remained hall an hour The men
ransacked the house and then drove away in
Mrs Greenwood's buggy. In about an hour Mr.
Greenwood worked himself free and went into
the bedroom. He could not arouse his wife and
soon became half insensible himself
At4o'clock the robbers returned and, finding
him in the bedroom, took him into the hall,
where they retied him. The leader then put Il
pistol TO his head and fired twice One bullet
went through his cheek, tore out a tooth and
fell in his mouth. The other glanced off and
lodged in the back of his neck. Thinking him
dead, the men went into the bedroom and shot
Mrs. Greenwood through the head. killing her
About daylight Greenwood got his feet free
and hobbled 10 the road, where he was freed by
a passer-by, who gave the alarm. He will prob
ably recover. The leader OF the men, he SAWS
was an American, five feet ten inches in height
large, dark, with mustache, stylish Clothes and
soft hat. The other was a Swede, fair, of me-
dium height, light mustache, black, low
crowned hat and dark suit of clothes. 1t is be-
heyed the thieves only secured ST.
The victims of the tragedy were highly re-
spected citizens, and have lived here many
years. Greenwood is 60 years old and his wife
was few years younger. Much feeling is ex-
pressed among citizens, and If the men who per-
petrated the deed can be found, lynching will
follow. Mr., Greenwood says he never saw the
of them LETT his bloody shoes. The horse which
Mrs. Greenwood drove to the neighbors was
found near the barn this morning, showing hard
driving, and IL is presumed the men drove il a
long distance after committing the crime and
then turned IL lnosa to cnrna hfAlne alma
