New York. Feb. I2.-The Washington
correspondent OF morning paper says:
a triple alliance between the United
States. Russia and France-such is the
international combination of forces for
mutual benefit and defense which has
been secretly pending for six years and
which, unknown TO either the diplomatic
or political wor at large. eliminated in
an executive session OF tho L. S senate
two davs ago. Tins ia the frat public an
nouncement OF the weighty moaning
which lay behiod the seemingly unim-
por.anl and iormal announcement that
the exiradition treaty with Russia has
been ratified
That was the sum total Of the an
nouncement which was given to tho pub
lie. But the ratification OF this treaty
meant an epoch in the history of this
country. Il me s~;he century will closs
with what Prince Gortchakof, the great
Russian chancellor described as 'neces-
sary for the universal equilibrium of ma
tons namely, an Ialliance between the
United States, Russia and France.
''Slngularly enough the ratification OF
the extradition trsaty with Russis leaves
before the senate no business Of the state
department which has not been acted
upon. This is a condition of affairs which
probsb never before existed in our his
tory. 1t is the crOwning glory Of the sd-
ministratiOn of tho state department un-
der Mr.. Blaine which il has been the
fortune of Mr.. Foster to conclude. Within
the past six months two treaties. the only
ones pending before the senate. have been
ratified. These are the extradition treat
les with Russia and France, and, ns has
been stated, their ratification is of world
wide significance.
"In ratifying these treaties the U s. gov
ernment has received distinct pledges,
both orally. through the Russian and
French legations in Washington. and by
correspondence through our department
of state with the foreign offices of those
governmen of their support by force, if
necessary, against any interference 10y

Hayti and San Domingo, and the Ultimate

Them-The Situation in France.
PARIS. Feb. 1l.-There is a marked cool
ing off in the relations between Russia
and Germany. The efforts to bring about
a fresh understanding between the three
empires, which commenced with the visit
OF the czarewltch to Vienna, where GER
tain results were obtained, were continued
during his re cent journey 10 Berlin.
Nothing has been done up to the
present. and 1t is probably nothing
will result from the attempt; but
Russia having given Berlin to under
stand that she has no sntipathy to Ger

becomes the arbitrator of the inter
national situation. playing with France
and Germany the same game that Bis

But the car is TOO honest and straight

horses, mules and sheep. no material
change in the number Of milch cows. n

10 horses and mules and advanced as to
catt of ali kinds. greater gain appears
in the value OF sheep and n very large adj
vance is seen in swine. amounting TO 30
per cent and progressive since the returns
were made. The average value Of horses
is SOL 22. of mules ST0.6S, OF cows S2l.T5.

WHEELING, w. Va, Feb. 10.-The cleo
trio street car strike assumed its most ser

between the strikers and the men in
charge of the barns in South Wheeling
The disturbances outdid anything of the
sort ever occurring in this city or even in
this portion OF the state. Two men were
seriously and one of them probable fatally
hurt William Newton, the chief cleo
trician OF the company, and Henry Hort

trying to induce Great Britain 10 recoe-

however, that though these views may

in the ratification OF the treaty and though
some idea of the same kind may we'll have

Senators Did Not Have the Alliance Idea in
Their Heads
WAsHIYGroN, Feb. 12-The publication
of dispatches that there was a
hidden significance in the ex,rRdition
treaties recently ratified by the U. ;. sem
ate with Russia aud France naturally
occasioned many inquiries to be
addressed to the Officials here and to
members Of the senate who wou be in q
position to know the facts. According TO
the dispatches "a triple alliance between
the United States, Russia and France for
mutual benefit and defense. which has
been secretly pending for six years. un-
known 10 either the diplomatic or
political world at large, culmi-
mated in an executive session of the
senate two DAYS ago." in the ratf-
cation of the extrsdition papers with
those powers. Careful inquiries from the
best source of information do not sustain
this Interpretation of that treaty. Ii is
asserted that there was no provision
in either of the treaties very widely
differing from extrsdition treaties negoti-
ated with Great Britain, Germany and
other powers. More TO the point still, 1t
is said, there was no proyision in either
treaty differing essentially from the extra
dilion treaty with Sweden which Was rati-
fed at tile same time.
One Of the senators, who participated in
the discussion OF these treaties, has
since publicly expressed his opin-
ion that the ratification OF these treat
les would be regarded by Russia
and France as a tacit agreement cement
ing those ancient bonds of alliance
which had led France 10 aid In our reyo-
