GENERAL GRANTS REMAINS.

General Collis Trying to Head off the
 Passage of the Resolution Looking
 to the Removal of His Body.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-General Charles H. T. Collis, chairman of the executive committee of the Grant Monument as- sociation, is here trying to head off the passage of the resolution introduced by Senator Plumb looking to the removal of the remains of General Grant to this city. General Collis has interviewed Senators Plumb, Hiscock, Washburne and others and finds the sentiment very strong and general in favor of the removal. Senator Plumb says he introduced the resolution because he believes it expresses the will of the American people. General Collis states that $162, 1000 has been raised for the tomb, seven eighths of it having been subscribed by New sYorkers; that $47, 900 has al ready been expended on the foundation, that the remains of the dead herolhave been per
 manently located in the position they are to occupy in the mausoleum; that the en- tire amount required to complete the tomb
 will doubtless be subscribed within the
 coming year, and that the structure will
 be measurably completed before the open ing of the worlds fair. He also says that the addition to the association of General Horace Porter of General Grants staff and
 of James 0. Reed, who was private secre- tary of President Arthur, has been re- ceived with universal appreciation; that from this time on the accretions to the fund will be most gratifying; that as Mrs. Grant and her family have approved the present site it ought not to be disturbed by annual agitation, and that these period.

 BOMBAY, Dec. 10..-Lieutenant Mansfield recently made balloon ascension, and when he had reached the height of eleven thousand feet grasped parachute and jumped from the car, reaching the ground in safety. He subsequently announced that he would make another jump from a still greater height The Victoria Gar dens were thronged to-day with 2 vast crowd who came to witness the ascension. Among those present were Lord Harris, governor of the Bombay Presidency, and most of the civil and military authorities. At signal from the aeronaut the guy ropes were cut and the balloon was liberated amid 8 storm of cheers. The air ship shot up with ightning-like ve- locity, but had only reached height of about four hundred feet when it burst with loud startling explosion, and i'm field made desperate efforts to disengage in the ropes and he was soon forced to re- lease his hold. The mortified spectators uttered cries of dismay as they saw his body come twirling toward them, and some ladies tainted. Mansfield struck the ground with terrific force and was instant ly killed. His body was terribly crushed and mangled. An investigation revealed the fact that in 8 previous descent the bal loon had fallen into the sea and had been somewhat damaged, and that tho breaks so sustained had been improperly repaired.

oO+ CndpGI SCf06I, Is unexampled in shoe trade history. M. Bristol & Sons are selling out. Our con- nection with the new "Bristol Shoe Manu- featuring Company" on Orange street makes this imperative. Our entire stock of boots and shoes must be out of our store within the next six weeks. 0,O00 worth of boots and shoes must be sold. Former prices knocked out, positively. This sacrifice beats them all.
 Friday morning, December 11th, our prices will be cut all along the line, and bargains unheard of will be offered.
 We determined after 30 years of business to manufacture and sell our own goods, and as consequence our Bristol Shoe Manufacturing company was organized last month. Its finished product is now
 ready for our disposition. We must use
 our own new shoes and therefore must clean out all other makes. The consideration for cost or former prices is out of the question. 'Twould be folly to look elsewhere for shoes of the same grade at our prices. Raw leather cannot be bought as cheap. We mention few of our unapproachable bargains: Ladies' Pat. Tip Button, value s1.50; now 90 cents.

A French Statesman Opposed to an
 Alliance With the Czar's Empire.
 PARIS, Dec. 10.-Senator Barthelmy St. Hilaire, e1- minister of foreign affairs, said to-day: sI am distinctly opposed to this attempt to draw France and Russia into an alliance. I can discover no common bond of union between the most enlightened people of Europe and country that is al- most eastern in its barbarity. The preva- lent idea in France is that this alliance will enable her to regain the lost provinces, while she will help Russia to lay hands on Constantinople. But while Russia will not fail to seize every opportunity of consoli- dating and increasing her empire, she would not embroil herself with Europe in order to please France, and when satisfied would repudiate any claims the latter pow CT might have on her. Having made her self most formidable by the aid of France, Russia would not hesitate even to attack France if she thought she would advance her own interests by doing so. In my opinion the moet natural and profitable alliance for France would be one with En- pland O
