FRENCH BARBARlTY AT YAFA.
Thousands of Prisoners Were Shot Down
After the Surrender.

No French victory was ever marked
by such unbridled license as that which
the victorious troops practiced at Yafa.
But what followed was worse, for the
prisoners of war We're too numerous for
The ordinary usage. For some days they
sere treated according to the terms OF
quarter they had exacted. On the 18th
a council of war unanimously voted that
the old rule under which no quarter is
given to defenders in an assault should
be applied to them. For three days Be-
haparte hesitated, but on the goth his
decision was taken. A few Egyptians
were sent home and the remainder of
the prisoners, together with the 500
militia from FL Arish, We're marched to
the beach and shot. In the report to the
directory the number was put at 200.
Two eyewitnesses estimated it-fone at
5000, the other at 1000.
81 have been severe with those of your
troops who violated the laws of war,
wrote the author of the deed to Jezzar.
No mention of the fact or excuse for 1t
was made in any of his other CORE
at tIlt tllllt. AL NlllAti ipbS
he had been dealing as an oriental with
orientals, and this WAS but a piece Of
the same conduct. The code Of Christian
morality was far from his mind. In Jan
nary, for instance, he had ordered Mu
rat to kill all the prisoners Of hostile
tribe in the desert whom he could not
bring away and in the same month
identical orders We're issued to Berthier
concerning another existing horde.
The plea which is made 10y the eulo
gists of Napoleon and by some recent
military writers for this wholesale exc
cution is that among these slaughtered
men the garrison Of FL Arish, which
had surrendered, had been found again
with arms III their hands; that they
were deserving of death according to all
the laws of war. and that, as to the rest,
there We're no French prisoners for whom
to exchange them and no provisions to
support them, consequently their pres
ence with the army would jeopardize its
success, and 1t was therefore justifiable
to diminish the enemy's resisting power
by their execution. Those VINO believe
that war, whether just or unjust, justi
fes any barbarity which will lead to
speedy victory will agree with that
opinion. Professor W. NJ, Sloane 9

General Greedy of arctic fame is as
distinguished in the social circles where
he is known as in the field of polar ex-
ploration. Brave and gallant, he is a
great favorite i'll society, but it is doubt
full if he has anywhere more ardent
admirer than one small maiden to whom
he stands as knight "sans reproche. "
She was the host S daughter at an aft
ernoon reception when General Greedy
was the hon of the occasion. The bellies
of the town we're directing all their vol
ley of speculative and bewitching
chances at the hero, who, however, ig.
nored these enticements and asked to
accompany the l2-year-old miss to the
dining room. Delighted beyond measure
at this unexpected attention, the child
accepted and went proudly off, scarcely
knowing whether the salad he brought
her We're chicken or sawdust. The crown
ing joy came, however, when, talking
to her as if she had been Mrs Cleve-
land, " to quote her own words her com
panion asked how many brothers and
sisters she had.
one replied, One Drolner anu one
sister, the boy between, and added,
Some persons call us sandwich, but
think that is rather hard on us girls,
because everybody likes meat so much
better than bread

Democratic papers see in a rise of two
cents pound on wool and the revival of
the wooden manufacturing business with
increase in wages, proofs that free
wool is good thing. The facts are
free wool, anticipated and realized,
hammered the price of wool down to an
unprecedented figure and caused the
slaughter of sheep by the millions and
also caused the stagnation of the wooden
business so that the supply was far be-
low the demand, and when the election
of last November gave assurance that
there would be no more disturbing of the
tariff laws for two years at least, bust
ness men took courage and business
moved along. 1t is worthy of note that
there was no improvement in business
until the country was assured that the
Democratic House of Representatives at
Washington had been RELOCATED to the
rear and the Democratic party shorn of
its power TO enact measures that have
paralizipg effect upon the industries of
the country.

Heavy rains are apt to contaminate

Franck has brought under the notice Of
the Polytechnic society of Berlin a means
of disinfecting wells, which he employs
with success. It consists i'll suspending
in the mouth of the we'll an earthenware
dish containing so to 100 grams "a
gram is about Is Erains) of bromine,
which, being volatile in air. forms a
dense vapor that fills the we'll, and is

it. The water, it is true, has slight
taste of bromine for time, but is whole
