FRANCE AND RUSSIA.

Gen. Landsdorf, the Cars Court Chamber
lain, Descants on Their Nstional Relations.
The Steele of Paris yesterday published an in
terview with Gen. Landsdorf, the cars conf
dental court chamberlain, during the course
of which the chamberlain is quoted as saving
that the Russians and Frenchmen have so many
affinities of character that the former sympa-
thize with France and have profound antipa-
thy for the people Of England and Germany,
whose characters are different. Russia, accord
ing to the chamberlain, can only reap adyan-
tage from contact with the French and hopes
to develop her commercial and industrial rela-
tons with France. The latter country, said
the chamberlain, had recently shown that her
wealth was greater than ever and il was graft
flying to know that the two nations were most
closely connected by force of circumstances
and similarity Of interests. Finances were
most prosperous in Russia. France he added.
could bear her military burdens without fear
Of financial disaster, which was not the case
with several other powers. Every year armed
peace sees the success OF Russia and France as
sured and their union rendered war impossible
and Restraints Euro-e. Therefore closer union
is desirable.
A feeling Of great tension recently existed
between Germany and Russia Emperor Will
lam wished to hold the German winter maneu-
vers on the Russian frontier and petitions to
that end were being made. The car. how
ever. notified the emperor that should he hold
the winter maneuvers a. proposed he (the
czarl would. in such an event, mobilize the
Russian frst army corps and order important
movements OF troops TO be made. Upon this
representation being made TO the emperor the
latter abandoned his intention Of holding the
winter maneuvers ON the Russian frontier.
The emperor is making thousand advances TO
England but he would do wen TO remember
that . British alliance d to be distrusted.

OUR PORK REFUSED,
The Proposed Repeal of the Prohibition De-
feated in the Reichstag.

The Proposed Repeal of the Prohibition De-
feated in the Reichstag.
In the reichstag yesterday the motion to re
peal the prohibition of the importation of Amer
lean pork was put TO a vote and was defeated by
1873 10 l03. DIR. Windshorst said he regarded
the prohibition as sanitary measure, but other
wise he would uphold the motion for repeal in
order to lower prices of meat. DIR. Won Boet-
ticher followed, referring to what he considered
the evil results Of the governments opening the
Russian frontier of Germany to pork imports.
Not a single consignment, he said, had yet
proved free of disease. The Americans had q
system of meat inspection in their towns only.
although they themselves were very strict in
controlling cattle importations.
Herr Marquardson, national liberal, who
also spoke on the repeal motion, announced
that his party favored the repeal
Herr Bebel, socialist, said the discomfort of
the people at the high price of meat was very
great. The pig breeding done by small traders
was no reason to refuse TO repeal the order.
1t was not the question of the profits Of small
dealers which lead the government to maintain
the prohibition, it was the interest of the large
owners which was served in resisting the repeal.
DIR. Won Boetticher again arose and declared
that the government had not waited for the ex-
preston of discomfort Of the people, but had
been continually occupied with the particular
question at issue. A recent case of trichinoss
at Cologne. he said, was attributed to the use
of American pork, which had been smuggled in
from Holland.
The vote on the pork question was then taken.

A Great Poker Controversy.

ErOm tine hTZOna h1Cktf.
Any particular lack Of interest In our
editorial page this week must be laid 10 little
incident which occurred on Tuesday forenoon.
A cross-eyed pressman. who was working his
wav from San Francisco to Boston to see his
mother die, had put in q couple Of weeks with
US as literary editor. He seemed q prudent
level-headed fellow and we passed in hie copy
without reading it, What did he do but ring
in little item to the effect that four aces
always beat a royal flush, no matter what old
liar held TO the contrary.
Col johnson, who is Arizona's authority on
poker, came around to have look at our man
and ask where and how we had captured him,
and he had scarcely stepped inside the once
when the pressman lost his nerve and began to
shoot
What was the colonel's gain Was our Ion. We
had finger split by bullet, the devil got Q
rake across the skull and the foreman nov
carries his arm in . sling. The colonel, is b
needless to say, untouched. When our
young man got through shooting at everybody
except the man he wanted 10 hit we sssisted
10 take him out, head him for the cactus PLAN
tation and start him OF. BE won't zee his
mother die-not II he keeps on In that diree-
ton.
Tenderfoots sailing in this direction should
bear In mind that our customs, WAYS and habits
are somewhat different from those Of Boston
and New York, and on arriving in this locality
they should expect TO be advised and posted by
citizens who can exhibit nine Rravee in their
private burying grounds.
