ROOSEVELT IN DANGER.
Harrison Indignant at Bis Report on
the Baltimore Investigation.

the Baltimore Investigation.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-The President
Postmaster General Wanamaker, secre-
tary Foster aud Attorney General Miller
have had Commissioner Roosevslts report
on the Baltimore investigation for over a
month. They have had ample time to con-
slider 1t, even II it had not been, as it was,
especially pressed on their attention by the
civil service commission.
So far il has not transpired that either
the President, who appointed Collector
Marine, Marshal Aorrey and Postmaster
johnson, nor either of the cabinet officers,
who are their immediate superiors, pro-
poses to do anything about it, even to the
extent Of directing the subordinates de-
tected in the violation of the civil service
law by Commissioner Roosevelt.
PROTECTED BY HARRISON.
The fact, Of course, il that all these men
are protected and expect to be protected by
the administration, because they broke the
law in its behalf thesvsry offenders reported
by the commission being committed in the
attempt sarrange for a Harrison delega-
ton from Maryland to the next national
convention. II is even said that the Presi-
dent and his cabinet officers are indig-
nant at Commissioner Roosevelt and atEthe
other commissioners for bringing
out the facts in this case 10
public view and demanding the punishment
of the offenders Just at this time, when the
administration needs the help of every
office holder to SECURE Hsrrison's reuomina-
tion. 1t puts the President in an awkward
dilemma, unnecessarily, they think, an I'd
doub ubtless, IL the President dares, he will re-
move all the civil service commissioners,
but he does not dare.

AN INSPIRED DENIAL"
The Much Talked of Franco Russian
Treaty Myth.

LONDON. Aug. 1.-THE st. Petersburg
agent Of Reuters Telegram Company has
been furnished with an INSPIRED deniap OF
the report that a secret treaty has been CON-
cluded between Russia and France. In this
denial it is declared that neither Admiral
Garvais or any other French or Russian res
preventative has signed or concluded
verballyany convention between France and
Russia. IJ Is also asserted that
NO CONFERENCES HAVE BEEN HELD
on the subject and that the well-known rap
proohement between Russia and France
does not date from the present time, but IL
was ocoasioned long ago by international cir
ounssauces, rather than by a spontaneous
desire OF the powers themselves, aud that
it has since continued to grow
closer. Continuing this inspired
statement says that the visit of the
French fleet to Cronstadt and the enthusi-
astio reception recorded to the French sail
ors only served to solemnly confirm the
good entente previously existing. and to
convince by palpable proof Frenohmen,
Russians and foreigners who still doubted
the existence OF the entente.
THE FRENCH VISIT TO CRoNsrADT.
The official denial also asserts that the
visit Of the French feet to Cronstadt had
the effect Of ripcniug the entente TO such a
point that 1t can be converted into an al
ancelshould the conduct OF the enemies of
France and Russia render a formal treaty
necessary. But 10 is 4 stated in
conclusion that the alliance has not yet been
concluded; nor is it in preparation In Paris
or in st. Petersburg. Such proceedings, it
is explained, would be supsrfiuous, and
might endanger the peace of Europe In
conclusion the statement says that it
depends entirely upon the governments
and the peoples forming the dreibund
whether the friendly relations existing be-
tween Russia and France shall retain their
present simple status or resolve into
stronger and more formal agreement.

early in August and then yellow fever was
prevalent to an alarming extent In that
city. The hospitals were filed, and,
although the health officers were stirring to
check the spread of the disease, their efforts
we're APPARENTLY unavailing. Their first
| attempts we're to isolate the patients as soon
as the malady made its appearance, but
THE DISEASE SPREAD so RAPIDLY
that it was impossible to cope with it.
MANY deaths have occurred during the last
six weeks, and it was a common sight, the
officers Of the vessel say, to see a string Of
funerals half a mile long, stretching from
the gates Of the city to the cemetery, eacn
funeral party waiting patiently for chance
to bury its dead.
Among the latest victims of the malady
| is /. j. SNOWFALL, the well-kuown commits
sion merchant of No. 20 Wall street, who
has been In Mexico since Aug. 2. A few
DAYS ago the Evening Post printed report
of the prevalence of yellow fever IN Vera
Cruz, sent here by Mr.. Snowfall. be was
on his way to Cordoba, to which place he
was going to claim fortune OF 800 900 and
4OO0 acres of land. Mr.. Snowfall re-
nained only one day in Vera Cruz, and was
stricken with the disease.

MCKINLEY SPEAKS.

VIM. Mckinley addressed the mem
bers of the Union League Club of
Brooklyn on "The Republican Party
Tuesday evening in the assembly
room of the club house in Bedford ave-
cue. Democrats declare" he said,
that they will not make the tariff or
silver the issue of the next campaign,
but the Billion. dollar Congress- and
Tom Reeds Infamous rulings
Reed, that brilliant man from Maine,
who, in single winter, moved us a
century forward in legislative reform.
Let them make the issue what they
will, we are right on all of them. They
denOunce what they call the force
bill, but | tell you the march of the
Republican party will not be stopped
until the American ballot-box is as
sacred as the American home. And
if it must be by Ton. Reeds rulings,
We'll have them too. They wanted
the journal of the House to record a
lie, and we said it should record the
truth. And it did. If it is the tariff
they can have that too. Every line of
it is American and every line of it
protective and it will stand for at
least ten years. The democrats who
invest their money in manufactures
are going to be as tenacious of if as
Republicans.
Aye, verify, Mr.. Mckinley is correct.
The tariff is matter that affects all
the people-Democrats, Alliance, Pro-
hibitiOnists and Republicans. 1t was
not constructed for any single party,
but for the American people.

MIR. CLEVELAND AND SILVER.

Through the St. Louis Republic we
have an authorized statement of the
interview between State Treasurer
Lon V. Stephens, of Missouri, and ex-
President Grover Cleveland on the
silver question. Here is the pith of it:
"If you were President, Mr.. Cleve-
land" asked Mr.. Stephens, "would
you, if your party should pass free
coinage law by big majority, veto
it?''
81 am a private citizen" was the
reply, and he added: II will not climb
any hills till | come to them"
Whereat the New York Press is led
to remark that this may mean much
or little. That it indicates any
change in Mr. Clevelaud's views since
he wrote the silver letter, which met
with the bitter disapproval of the
vast majority of his party, is an en-
tirely unwarranted assumption. 1t
would be even more probable that the
''hills" to which he alludes includes
David B. Hill. He certainly must
''climb" David B. Hill before he can
even get the chance to be President
again, without which chance his views
and purposes in regard to silver are
wholly immaterial.

The dollar sign Isl is not mono

crossed the eight and combined with

RANK VANDALISM.

A little group>stood around the cor
ner of the Model Clothing House We'd
nesday morning gazing at a ragged hole
in the splendid plate glass front, from
which seams radiated in every direc-
ton and continually heightened out
as the pressure of the wind came
against the glass. The deed of yandal-
ism was perpetrated last night be-
tween the hours of 1870 and L. The
heavy stone which had broken the
hole was lying on the outside of the
building, and had evidently been pick
ed out of the street paving and hurl-
ed with great force against the win
dow. There is no clue to the perpe-
traitor, as the night Waterman saw
no one about when he discovered the
hole, on his regular rounds. No brawl-
ing had been heard by any one around,
from which fact it is thought that
the stone was maliciouSly sthrown
with the purpose of breaking the fine
window.
The glass is valued at about 1925,
but Mr.. Stern will lose nothing as
the windows are insured for their full
value. The insurance company can
take the broken glass and re-cut it
and thus save good share of the loss.
1t will replace the glass. Williams
& Brown cut the glass in two this
morning, so as to protect the main
portion from the cracks that were
gradually spreading across it's surface
and would during the day have shiv-
cred it past further use.
A reward ought to be offered for the
conviction of the perpetrator, and a
severe punishment should be melted
out to him.
Wednesday noon Kruse Bros. avn
ing gave way and the iron frame
struck their plate glass window, crack
ing it. The glass was worth about
800, but was fully insured and will be
replaced.
