FOREIGN JoTTINGs.

LORD SALISBURY adhesion to the
triple alliance appears to have been
made with due regard to the protection
Of English interests In Egypt and India.
The conference of the emperor and
Herr Won Biebenstein, PruSsian minis
ter OF state, with Lord Salisbury, has
materially altered the whole course OF
German foreign policy. Only partial
indication of the drift OF the entente
concluded at Hatfield house has trans
PRED, but enough is known to suggest
that Lord Salisbury obtained assurances
from the emperor that the Franco-Rus-
sian projects against England's possess
sfons in the east will be met with open
German support of England. An entente
Is thus established all around, the ar
rangement aiming at an Asiatic as well
as a European equilibrium. Opinion
concurs that Lord Salisbury has got the
best OF the bargain, securing positive
check upon French schemes against the
Egyptian occupation and Russian en-
croachments in India without commit
ting England to armed intervention in
support Of Germany
1T is q significant indication of the
friction between Prince Bismarck and
the German kaiser that at the very time
the latter was in England seeking the
good will of its people and the support
of its government for the dreibund the
former sounded a note of warning to the
German people in the columns of his
organ, the Hamburger Ndc1rtchten, of
the folly Of entering into an alliance
with that country. tits given out that
the reasons for this warning, as set
down by the ex-chancellor, arc, first,
that such an alliance could not be per-
manent, as administrations in England
are not permanent; and, second, that
such an alliance would be certain to be
Offset by an alliance between Russia and
France.
THE star of DR.. Koch, the great ply
stefan whose discovery of anti-consump-
ton lymph set the world a wondering
only few months ago, is soon to rise
again. DR.. Ernest LaPlace, of the
Medico Chirurgical college, of Philadel-
phia, says that within short time the
world will hear again from Koch; that
he will make important scientific revela-
lions, and that it will be proved that he
is on the right road toward a cure of
consumption. This statement from DR..
LaPlace is of the utmost Importance,
for he keeps fully informed of all that
transpires in the studios and laborato-
ries of European scientists, and enjoys
as well close personal acquaintance
with DIR. Koch.
ACTING SECRETARY WHARTON, of the
department of state, has received cable
gram fromMinister Reid saying" 1.-THE bill
fixing the duty on pork was not reached
In the French senate before the final
adjournment" 1t is understood at the
department that the bill was attached
to the new tariff bill and the failure of
the senate to consider the pork section
before adjournment was caused by the
intervention of other measures.
THE locomotive of freight train was
struck by lightning near Oberglocahau,
Germany, and the fireman and engineer
were killed. The conductor first real
lied that something was wrong when he
noticed that the train dashed along
without any regard for signals. He
crawled along the outside of the cars to
the engine and got his hand on the
throttle just in time to avert collision.
The scarcity of meat in Munich is so
great that the police have given orders
that no dogs shall be slaughtered for
eating purposes unless adjudged sound
by the veterinary surgeons. Three
butchers have been arrested for
and selling the meat Of
stolen dogs. One butcher was sentenced
to two months imprisonment for
thirty stolen mongrels.
Two MURDERS similar in character to
those perpetrated by Jack the Ripper
have occurred in Marseilles. A man
giving an Italian name twice took rooms,
by woman, and in each
case the woman was afterward found
murdered, having been strangled and
then mutilated. A letter sent to the
police stated that these crimes were the
beginning Of series.
THE election in the North Wisbeck
division of Cambridgeshire was another
victory for the liberals, Hon. Arthur
Brand, liberal, receiving majority of
300 over Duncan, conservative. In the
last election Capt. Selywin, conserva-
tive, defeated John Rigby, home ruler,
by LOST.

ment to secure the letters.

since the last census of 2Os, 5s4, the in
crease being in the urban population,

PROF. KOCH has resigned all public
offices held by him. This step is asso
ciated with the supposed disappointment
over the unsatisfactory results of his

land is accused of fermenting treason
