Germany Waiting to Hear the Old
Cry From France.
PANAMA SCANDAL SOME UNKNOWN
NAPOLEON'S CHANCE.

Then There Might Come Another War Be
tween the Old Foes-The Covering of
French Politicians with Panama Filth
Is Not Likely to Add to Russia's Friend
Czar May Yet Be Friends.
BERLIN, Dec. II. - Developments in
the Panama scandal are watched here
with the keenest interest. One comfort
to Germany is that the spectacle of COR
ruption and confusion among French po-
litical leaders lessons the Russian desire
to make France an ally. Advices from
st. Petersburg show that information
has recently reached the Gear that a Ger
tain Russian paper received from Paris
100000 for advocating the Russo-French
alliance. Inquiry resulted in the dis
cover that the report was not only true,
but that part of the bribes distributed by
the Panama Canal Company had been
accepted by prominent person in Rus
sia. The Russian court party are hostile
to the French alliance, and seized the
opportunity to work on the Cars preju-
dices against the French Republicans.
The German Foreign Office is hopeful
that General Worder, the new German
ambassador to Russia, will succeed in
detaching the Czar from France, and so
lead to new grouping of the powers.
Another, and to Germany far more i'm
portant view is that the cchaos in France
may produce an adventurer who would
hazard war with Germany as the best
stroke to carry himself into power. The
South German Gazette says that some
strong man who attained temporary
notoriety might imita ethe first Napoleon
and seize the opptunity afforded by the
political disorder now prevailing in
France to make himself master of her
army and of the country itself. The
paper commends the French government
for refusing to grant dictatorial power
to the Panama committee of inquiry,
and recalls the committees first resolu-
ton as rendering every government i'm
possible. Tt adds: "The end was Caesar,
and Caesar is now desired by the Bou-
langists, who think, with reason, that
the right man will soon be found.''

Clearing Out the Occupants of Dirty Tene-
ment Houses.
BERLIN, Dec. 17.-The Hamburg and
Berlin bourses were disturbed yesterday
by the report that 20 cases of cholera and
four deaths had occurred at Hamburg.
Today official denials were issued. The
report had its origin in the fact that the
authorities were clearing out. people re-
siding in dirty and over-crowded tene-
ments. Some of the residents were i'll
and were taken to the hospitals. This
created suspicion that the scourge had
again appeared. The persons removed
to the hospitals were suffering from
fever. The authorities of Hamburg have
taken extra measures to meet the threat
ened re-occurrence of the epidemic in
the spring.

THE GOLD RESERVE.
Secretary Foster Says that It Will Be
Maintained.

WASHINGTON, December 19.-Secretary
of the Treasury Foster today expressed
himself freely respecting the alarm felt
in financial circles over the anticipated
large gold exports. He said: every re-
source at my command will be availed of
to preserve the parity between gold and
silver, as l am commanded by law. No
one can obtain gold from the treasury
without paying money for it. With the
money thus received, can recoup the
gold. There is also right vested in the
Secretary of the Treasury to sell bonds,
if necessary, to maintain the gold re-
serve. The treasury situation, as to
cash balance, is such as to permit the
free use of cash received for gold to again
obtain gold. The gold reserve must be
maintained. / recommend to Congress
in my annual report that the reserve be
increased from $1o0,O0o,oo0 to $685.

FLoRiDA's HIGH PRICED INDIANS.
Their Subsection In 1857 May Cost $aSOO
for Each OF Them.

WASHINGTON, December 17.-In the
House today a bill was passed authoriz-
ing the st. Lawrence railroad company
to construct a bridge across the st. Law
renee river.
A bill authorizing the Secretary of the
Treasury to settle an account between
the government and the State of Florida,
was considered in committee of the
whole. Messrs. Butler and Mansur were
the chief advocates. In course of in
quiries addressed to the two gentlemen,
Mr. Dingley elected some information.
The claim is to reimburse Florida for ex-
penses incurred in the Seminole war in
1S55-57. According to Mr.. Dingley there
were about 90 Seminoles engaged in the
outbreak. Congress had already paid to
the persons who had put down the out
break $500 per Indian and it was now
proposed to pay them $4,000 per Indian
additional. No action was taken.

AN ATHLETIC COMBINATION.
The La Blanche = Christol Party Reaches PhoenIX.

The La Blanche Christol Party
 Reaches PhoenIx.
 The La Blanche-C Christol Athletic Com bination reached the city yester- day. The party is made up of George La Blanche, "The Marine" Prof. L.. M. Christol, the champion lightweight wrestler of the world, and II. c. Davis. heavy champion middle weight of Cali fornia. Both La Blanche and Christo are too we'll known to require any des- cription, as both have been prominent in the athletic world for years. The Marine has record in the ring borne but by few few gadiators who have been before the public for so long a time. Christol, the agile and powerful wrestler, has met with almost unvary- ing success on the mat. DavIs is also we'll known all along the Coast as a good fighter beside having record in quite another direction, as an extensive prop erty owner and heavy raisin grower.
 Just at this particular time the com bination is probably the strongest one on the road. The party is en route to New Orleans by easy stages where the Marine is to meet Jack Dempsey be- fore the Olympic club the last week in February. LaBlanche is in good con- ditlon and is taking no chances of put ting himself in any other before the New Orleans meeting.
 Local sporting men have persuaded the party to give an exhibition at the opera house on Saturday night.
 LaBlanche will spar with Davis, and wind up with six round contest with Swiftly" well-known local slugger.
 Christol will have bout with Casey, the milkman, who has developed con- siderable skill as a wrestler.
 M. J. Connors will give an exhibition of club swinging, and will box with Reddy Welsh, the New Mexico cham pion middle.weight.

A Scheme That Works.

When you go into the Marble Collegi- ate church, at Fifth avenue and Twenty ninth street, you will find in the book rack of each pew a card of the size of a fashionable envelope. It is an "ac- quaintance card" bearing the pastors name and church address on one side, with nice little square in the upper right hand corner in which is printed, If mailed, two cent stamp here" On the other side is printed: "ln order that the pastors may have the opportunity of seeking personal acquaintance and ex- tending to you the courtesies of the church, please write your name and ad- dress below, drop the card in the pas tors mail box, hand to an usher or return by mail. Signed, David James Burrell, D. D., pastor; Rev. Palmer s. Hubert, Rev. Alfred E. Myers, assistant pastors.

A SURE SIGN.
A Pointer Concerning the
 Weather.
A Scientific Reason Why the Rainy Season May Be Daily
 Expected.

A gentleman who has resided in the valley for twenty years, and unites meteorological observations of the past with scientific knowledge of the present conditions, predicts an early and con- tinued rainfall. He says that rains in this section are brought from the south charged from the Gulf of California. A south wind brings the clouds in this di- rection, and precipitation is brought about by various causes, which by the way are not very numerous.
 The rains which fall during the "rainy season." which may occur at any time between November and March, fall from slowly gathering clouds, and it is noticed that the longer it takes the clouds to bank the longer the rain is likely to last. The cause of the accu. mutation of clouds just previous to the wet season, the gentleman says, is that by the south wind they are driven northward until their progress is ar rested by the high range of mountains about POO miles north of the Salt River Valley. As other flying clouds are driven against those already lodged the NNholNy anu hiltN eluh IOWtT until the Bradshaws, forty miles north of the city, become part of the great cloud dam. By that time the entire valley, and in fact all of Southern Ari- zona, rests under a heavily charged canopy and the rain soon begins. The gentleman says in regard to the cloudi- ness of the past tgo days, he has been watching the clouds for more than week and has noted their constant northward direction. For three days the northern sky has been cloudy and the veil has been gradually drawn southward until last night only little rim of lighted sky was seen above the horizon. This is a sIgn that the aerial dam is nearly full, the clouds are as density packed as they will bear. and the water may be soon expected to be squeezed out. The duration of the rain, he argues, will equal the length of time the clouds were in gathering.
 This prediction gathers considerable force from the circumstance that when made, rain was already falling, in which respect it is similar to the famous old Indian sign of rain, black all around the edges and pouring down in the middle"

How a City Hospital Patients Ruse
 was Discovered.
 Dr. Mahoney, superintendent of the county hospital, relates an incident il- illustrative of the tricks employed by un- deserving patients to excite sympathy and prolong thelr stay. One city prison inmate suffering from an injured foot was removed to the hospital. When the cause of stay at the hospital was removed the patient was found to be suffering from an alarming hemorrhage of the lungs. The case was reported to the doctor who discovered an absence of frothiness which always accompanies discharges from the lungs. The patient, however, insisted that he was in bad way and had been for some time. The doctor injected sub-sulphate of iron into the patients nostrils and the bleeding ceased almost immediately. It was thus shown shat he was afflicted with bleeding at the nose, which he could bring on at will. The blood was drawn into the throat and spit up, bringing with it an impression of serious lung trouble. After this treatment he tried to bring on an attack of bleeding. but the powerful astringent had shut off the supply from the nose and the trick was satisfactorily exposed.
