Russian Troops. Armed with French

Rifles, on the German Border.
Copyright, 1898, by the United Press)
BERLIN, Oct. 29-The semi-official news
papers have not yet been instructed how
to treat the Cars frank words TO Presi-
dent Carnot concerning the bonds Of friend
ship between France and Russia. Conse-
quently most of the editors have neglected
to comment on the Cars letter. The Off
cial disposition to accept Russia's former
assurances of her desire for an entente
with Germany has vanished, however, and
the old hatred of the Car and his men
rules in the government offices.
The Nord Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung
already is denouncing the cant of the
French and Russians about peace despite
their common rejoicing in obtaining as al
lies the strength necessary to menace Ger
man unity. The most significant sign that
the anti-Russian campaign is about to be
renewed officially is the temperance of
Russian troops, which are being pushed up
TO the frontier, that French magazine ri
fles are being distributed rapidly in the
army, and that the Baltic and Black sea
naval forces of Russia are to be increased
greatly in the future. Austrian mil
itary newspapers report the erection of
immense new barracks and provision maya
zines on RuSSia'S western frontier and the
construction of a strategic railway from St
Petersburg TO Kieff. Military authorities
agree, however, that the Russian troops
will require a years drill in the use of
their new rifles, and. therefore. peace is
assured for the present, unless the Franco
Russian plans involve an attack upon Eng
land previous 10 any quarrel with the
triple alliance.
The growing impression in diplomatic cir
cles is that the weak policy of Mr.. Glad
stone and Lord Roseberry in the Slamcse
dispute between France and England has
encouraged both countries 10 seize further
advantages in the east at the British gov
ernments expense. Russia Is already press

THE rebel vessels are imprisoned in the
bay of Rio de Janeiro. Furthermore, there
is ample proof that the bombarding of the

men-of-war have been rendered useless,

All attempts to land forces up to this

Restoration From Custody of
Courts ut an Early Day

Restoration From Custody of
Courts at an Early Day.
Boston, Dec. 3d. A representative of
the Boston News bureau today asked
President Reinhart, of the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad company,
concerning the proposed plans of the
directors for restoring the Atchison
company from the custody of the courts
to its stockholders. He said:
There is absolutely no foundation for
the statements which have been made
and cabled from London that 25 per
cent, or 10 per cent, assessment OH the
stock was contemplated. There will be
no authoritative suggestions given out
by the management of the COM
pany until the board of dlrec-
tors shall have passed upon a
proper plan unanimously. No intima-
tons of any kind have been given as to
what such plans will be, but those best
conversant with the company's affairs
are entirely Satiffied that the restoration
from conditions now existing, so far as
the Atchison is concerned, will not be
far distant. There have been interviews
published, alleged to have been had
with local officers of the system in the
West, given wide currency through the
press an d sent abroad. in which inter-
views t.iese officers are quoted as
having stated that the company would
be entirely reOrganiZed and most of its
branches cut off. and that re eel vership
papers were i'll preparation from last
summer 1t IL hardly necessary to say
that all such assertions are absolutely
without foundation.
No conclusions" said he,,,"were ever
had nor steps taken to place The Atchi-
son company under the protection of the
courts until Tuesday. Dec. 10. After
such conclusions should be reached the
legal and other work necessary WAS
only then begun and was completed
Tuesday and Wednesday nights. The
fact that the AtchisOn should have now
paid at this time its November pay roll,
which amounted to 81, 000, 900, should he
accepted as sufficient evidence that its
affairs have been kept up in good shape,
and this i'll the face of the most adverse
conditions. The course of the Atchison
management uuder the depressing con-
dltiOn of times and circumstances of the
situation has met with the hearty ap-
prevail and Endorsement of many large
holders of securities and conservative
bankers who have indicated desire to
assist the stockholders. The promptest
effort possible will be made ON the part
Uf the management to bring about a
satisfactory and prompt settlement.
The receivers have now concluded ar
engagements with about all of the hold
ers OF the company's notes. secured by
collateral, the total of which has been
stated in the directors circular, which
prevents sacrifice of the collateral and
secures the same for the company. This

ment OF the company in the restoration
