Armed Nations.
BERLIN, Sept. 16.-It is rumOred
here that France has consented to
allow Russia to establish naval sta
ton on the French Mediterranean
coast, but the question is, which port
will be given up to this purpose? The
rumor had its origin in the newspaper,
lie Soir, of Paris, which says that
Villefranche, the we'll known port in
the department of Alpes Maritimes,
will be given over to the use of the per-
manent Russian squadron that the
Car intends to establish on the Medi-
terranean. The joint occupation of
Biserta by France and Russia would
compel England to Immediately
strengthen her naval forces in the
Mediterranean, and would ultimately
compel her to close connection with
the triple alliance.
The completeness of her prepare
tons gives to Germany feeling of
security while waiting on the yet un-
surmisable event which will precipit-
ate war. The TOulon demonstration
VIII not do so. AS Il matter of fact,i can
be stated that Russia's acquisition of Il
naval station in the Mediterranean is
absolutely denied in official quarters,
and England's corporation with the
triple alliance is now officially con-
sidered to be UNNECESSARILY further
off than when Lord Salisbury pledged
the aid of an English fleet to Italy, if
the latter nation should be attacked
by France. The Cars Government
has practically disclaimed responsible
ity for this furore in an official com
munication, declaring that to impart
to the presence of the fleet at ToulOn
anything like an aggressive character
would be an entire misrepresentation
of the intentions of Russia.
The German army manmuvres
being concluded, the Emperor Will
liam has left Stuttgart for Guens,
where he will attend the Hungarian

The Emperor Francis Joseph, with
a retinue of 292 persons, arrived at
Guens tonight.

The Nicaragua Canal.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Sept. 16.-
Congress assembled yesterday. 1t is
probable that those hostile to the con-
tinuation of Americans in control of
the canal will endeavor to procure

are opposed to the growing ascendancy
of American influence in this country.
