resident of the place, but simply oe-
cause it is true. Guy de Maupassant
saws of Cannes: princes, princes
everywhere princes. They who love
princes are indeed happy. People gain
er together at Cannes because they
love imperial and royal highnesses. j"
De Maupassant is not quite correct.
I didn't go to Cannes to see princes;
neither did he. Once l rowed in a
small boat past De Maupassant's little
yacht, the Bel-Ami, and saw the nov
elist sitting gloomily on deck watching
the Estral mountains and apparently
thinking how much better he would
have made those mountains if he had
had the doing of it. Still there is no
use denying that there are great
many titled people about Cannes IN the
winter time do not know the rank
of the man / had the little difficulty
with, but thought him most objec-
tionable person and have no doubt ne
thought the same of me. I have never
had the courage to look him up since,
but if this should meet his eye beg to
inform him that will pay his little
bill for repairs if he sends it in to me.
It is curious thing that Cannes, al
though it is so aristocratic. has many
American names. One whole district
of the town is named after California,
which they spell with a final re" in
&c hn
California, one of the largest in the
place; there is the Villa Nevada, where
the duke of Albany died in 1884; there
is United States hotel and Villa
Florida, besides numerous villas named
after several western states, where
billiards. are more common in winter
than the sunshine of the Riviera.
1t was the exploring of California
hill that led to my trouble. l climbed
the hill behind Cannes by steep road
that led to a little chapel called st.
Antoine. This chapel is more than six
hundred feet above the sea, and it
stands in notch at the top of the hill
where the road dips down into deep
and lovely valley with the little pot
terry and pottering town of Vallauris
at the bottom. don't know anything
about the history of the chapel OF St.
Antoine, but can give you some in
formation about the pub that stands
opposite. They can mix y on up some OF
the most villainous drinks there that
you can get in all France, which is Saying
a good deal. From the corner of the
cafe narrow lane leads steeply up the
hill from out the notch, and that lane
led me into the forest of Mauvarre,
which occupies the summit of the hill,
eight hundred feet or SO above the sea.
AT the edge of this wood of scraggy
pine there is most wonderful view.
The cliff, about as high as that at
Quebec, is not quite SO precipitous.
The bare rocks protrude here and
there, but the face of the declivity is
mostly covered with shaggy shrubbery
and brambles. At the foot are hand
some villas, and along between them
and the sea runs the road from Cannes
to Antilles like winding white rib
bon. Away to the horizon stretches
the blue Mediterranean. To the west
the outlook is restricted by the shout
der of the hill, but to the east the view
extends into hazy infinity. The pro-
montory of Antilles projects out into

WAsHNersH. D.C.-Ths authoritative

Of the Secretary of the Treasury in dip

been any danger of financial furry, that
dang appears now to have passed. I'm
der the Interpretation of Mr.. Cievelaud's s

simply as so much cash in the treasury,
and VIII ther the aggregate rises or falls

Of the Admins ration to maintain gold

THE GOLD ovERPLUs 5000, O0O.]
The net gold in the Treasury, over and
above the 500, 600, 900 gold reserve, is
5000, 900. This accounts for the gold
taken from the New York sub treasury
for export and also for gold offered and
accepted from Boston bankers. 1t does,
not, however, include the rold which
was offered to the government from San
Francisco aud Roanoke, Va. These
amounts will appear in the Treasury fig.
ures when the actual exchange is made.
Secretary Carlisle is much encouraged
at what he terms the ''patriotic position
taken by the Boston bankers > He took
over with him to the cabioet meeting
bundle of papers, presumably bearing on
the conference Of New. York bankers
with Assistant Treasurer Jord an. In the
incomplete condition of that mater, the
Secretary did not deem it prudent to ex.

Tho labor troubles in Lancashire,

The labor troubles in Lancashire,
England, which ended by compromise,
stake rank as the greatest struggle be-
tween capital and labor which the world
has seen. The campaign lasted twenty
weeks, involved directly and indirectly
LBS, 900 employees, and cost in loss of
wages alone $40, 100000. Each side was
equally willing at the outset to engage
in test of strength, and at last they
were just as glad to call truce with
the honors even. Great sacrifices have
been endured, with no result, save that
both parties to the conflict have had all
desire for fight taken out of them, and
the advantages of mutual compromise
arc for the time being fully conceded.
The operatives have in the terms of
peace conceded just a shade more than
tho masters, but there has been really no
victory for either side. The plans agreed
upon for settling future disputes seem
to be tho best ever devised thus for.

cotton market by limiting all future
changes to five per cent. at intervals of
