Department OF State have seldom been
so exacting as during the past few
months. and every one In the department
has suffered from the unusual strain.
Nearly all the important officials. as
we'll as many of the cl, rical force, have
been employed on an average from twelve
TO fourteen hours every day, and Secre-

reputation for continuous application
TO public affairs second only to that of
President Cleveland. whose hard working

THE SPHERE OF INFLUENCE.

VI. Hanotaux, the French Minister, OF
Foreign Affairs, demands that England,
as the first step In the pending negotia-
tions, shall define what are supposed to
be the boundaries of her sphere of In
fuence. This demand has acted as
check to the policy of the Forcisn OF
fee. The Sultan OF Turkey holds the
suzerainty OF the whole region In ques-
tion, including the equatorial province
formerly governed by t,nin Pasha. A
section Of the Cabinet is reported to be
In favor Of making a decisive dtclara-
ton. claiming the whole valley OF the
Upper Nile to be within the British
sphere. and denying that the Sultan has
any rights in the Emin territory.
1t is believed that NJ. Hanotaux is Will
ing to refer to arbitration or conference.
but. on the other hand 1t is suspected
that England is afraid TO do either, lest
her occupation of Egypt should become
involved. In this mood, the British Gov
ernment shirks the consideration OF eth
er question Ia an impartial way. In the
meantime the diplomatic advantage rests
with France, and the strain between thc
two tso,ernments, despite tie p@eiiic
words of 81. Hanotaux. becomes intehsi-
fed.

been disclosed that number of Belgian

men had ever been.
They had scarcely enough food and
water to keep them alive. They were
brought back raging with fever and
placed in the Coolgardie hospital, which
was already over-crowded with dying
miners. The fate of these desperate men

NEW ORLEANS, March 15-The stormy
scenes along the river front Of New Or
leans have been succeeded by o calm, and
something approaching the normal condi-
ton of affairs has been restored. Work
was resumed on the wharves, at least
partially, but it was only the cOlored
screwmen who took up their tools, and
then only under the protection OF an
armed guard. Where there were no troops,
there was no work. The white screwmen
held aloof in sullen, threatening silence,
but none made move which would cause
the militia to use force to suppress it.
Though still strained, the situation is
much improved. Governor Foster is still
in the city, and has announced his deter
mination to remain here until the trouble
is finally settled. Negotiations are in
progress which may produce this happy
result, but their outcome cannot be pre-.
dicted at present. Meanwhile the stnte
authorities are taking no chances.
