The European situation.

Whether Russia and France make g.
formal alliance or not, the significance
of the reception of the Russian fleet at
Toulon remains the same. The cordial
ity which has sprung up and manifested
itself between the people of France and
the people of knafia is really due to the
pressure Of obvious self preservation.
Without the threat of Russian slter-
vcntion France would be at the mercy
of the central powers of Europe. With
out the prospect of French backing
Russia's gradual approach on India
would lose much of its effect in British
eyes. 1t is not certain that Russia would
not be glad to exchange Constantinople
for a proposed attack on India if Eng
land would consent to the change, and
in spite of Evolutionary craftsmanship
British cabinets are thinking less and
less of the necessity for barring the Rus
slams out of Constantinople. with its free
access to the Mediterranean sea.
Yet England's formal adhesion to the
triple alliance would be q large price to
pay fora deliberate announcement of the
union of France and Russia in an often
sive alliance, out even Mr.. Gladstone,
with his affection for France and his
GOODNESS toward Germany and Austria,
could hardly avoid taking this stepifs such
an alliance were placed beyond all rea-
sonable doubt.-New York Sun.

RUsso-eERmAN TARIFFS.
The Kaiser in Better Position to
Fight than the Czar.


Berlin, July 29--It is generally held
here that the tariff war that has been
started between Russia and Germany is
more likely to cause damage to the form
err country than the latter. It seems that
Russia in applying her maximum tariff
on German products was mainly influ-
enced by unfavorable early reports re-
garding the harvest prospects in Ger
many. These reports, 1T is said, led
Russia to believe that Germany, desir-
ing Russian grain, etc, would not retail
ate for tho imposition by Russia of the
highest tariff on imported German pro-
ducts. In this belief, however, she was
disappointed, as tho prompt action Of the
federal council In raising the German
tariff on Russian products 90 per cent,
shows that Germany is not so dependent
upon Russian cereals as the latter coun-
try appears to think. Had the early
crop reports turned out to have been
correct the situation might have been diff
ferent. Russia's belief was iustiiable in
the month Of May, but the considerations
then taken into account by Russia do not
hold now. The condition of crops, espec-
tally wheat and rye, has greatly i'm
proved. 1t is therefore argued that Ger
many can bide her time until Russia
recognizes that whatever injury Is done
by the war falls mainly on herself In
connection with this subject, 1t is worthy
Of note that Germany's source Of grain
supply is no longer confined to Russia
There is decrease in the quantity OF
grain imported into Russia for Germany
GERMANY AND SIAM.
A remarkable change has occurred
within the past few days in the tone Of
the German press and public converse
tion in reference to the F'ranco-Siam
imbroglio Germany began to realize
that she would be seriously affected in
the event Of blockade of the Siamese
coast, as, next to England, she controls
the greater part of the trade with Siam.
Communications were exchanged with
Great Britain, and Germany had decided
upon the line of conduct she would pursue.
The newspapers discovered that some
thing more was to be said than
was contained in the diatribes pub
lished in the Tageblatt and the
Cologne Gazette and Kreuz Zeitung
took the lead in outspoken oppo-
sitlon TO France. General satisfaction
was expressed to-day when it became
known that France would, in view of
Slams submission, Withdraw her notiti-
cation of a blockade.
The Frankfurt Gazette remarks upon
the rapidity with which preparations TO
meet the extensions necessitated by the
army bill are being made. The bill was
passed by the reichstag on July 10. On
the 10Th the war Office telegraphed order
ing an enlargement Of the barracks at
Frankfurt, and on the 18th work was
commenced

A HORROR ON A STREET CAR.
A Lever Pierces a Woman Through
the Body and She Bleeds to Death.

the Body and She Bleeds to Death.
Chicago, July 29.-At the Harrison
street bridge this morning, an open car
approached the bridge at good rate of
speed. AS the car struck the east end of
the bridge, the latter shook and swayed up
and down for moment. A heavy pointed
hardwood tightening lever ut
the east end of the bridge fell from its
fastenings and swung around directly
against the right side of the car. Miss
Nellie Riordan, of IA Selden street, sat
near the right hand outer edge of a seat
near the middle of the car, and the
pointed end of lever struck her in the
groin, passing through. her body, and
made a hole in the back of the
seat in which she was sitting. The
lever extended 20 inches through the
body of the woman, pinning her to the
fragment of the seat. A physician who
was summoned from house near by, said
the woman would bleed to death if the
lever was withdrawn from her body. A
saw was procured and the lever was
sawed off two feet from Miss Riordan's
body. The woman with portion of the
lever still penetrating her body was
conveyed to the county hospital.
The attending physician said she would
probably die as soon as the piece of lever
was removed. her parents anu IflendS
were sent for and restoratives were ap-
piled. Miss Riordan regained conscious
ness and was told that she would prob
ablysoo die. She took farewell of her
friends after priest had given her abso-
luton.
The hospital surgeons then removed
the piece Of lever from her body, after
which she sank rapidly, and IN a few
minutes died from loss Of blood. Three
other women on the car were badly IN
iured. but not dangerously.
