Frances Protectorate and Her Cont.ol
Over Internal Affairs Recognized.
Newspapers at Paris publish the full text
of the treaty Of peace concluded by France
with Madagascar upon the occupation Of An
tananarivo by the French expedition. The
treaty comprises seven articles. In the first
article the Queen Of Madagascar accepts the
protecrorate of France, and that Power ac-
cepts all the consequences OF such protec-
toratc. thus putting an end to the hopes OF
the parties who are advocating the anneHa-
ton of the island.
The other articles stipulate that the French
Resident General snail control all relations
between madagascar and foreign Nations.
France reserves the right TO maintain mill
tary forces on the island, and the French
Resident is to control the internal Govern.
ment of the island. The Hova Government
is not allowed to contract loans without the
authorization Of France, which assumes the
financial responsibilities which Madagascar
has heretofore contracted, but will assist In
the conversion of the loan contracted in 1856
and also fix the limits OF the Diego Suarez
territories at the earliest possible time.

GREAT DROUGHT BROKEN.
A Storm Which Proved Godsend to the
Parched Sections.

A Storm Which Proved Godsend to the
Parched Sections.
The storm which advanced from the Gulf
region northward with most extraordinary
rapidity proved godsend to the drought
stricken section Of the country east OF the
Mississippi River.
For many weeks the continent has been al
ternately subjected to parching sunshine and
drying "cold waves" with only now and
then the semblance Of shower. Much ak
ietv has been felt lest the wheat crop sown
in September should laneu1sh for want OF
water. SO arid has been the soilin some por-
tions Of the Southwest that the sowing
of wheat hae been delayed to the present
time. And from almost every quarter have
come distressing accounts of watercourses
running low. reservoirs scarcely able to sup
ply the towns with water for domestic pur-
poses and mills closed because the streams
on which they depend were exhausted.
The storm. however. has changed the whole
aspect Of things in the regions over which 1t
threw its benehcent cloud-masses. 1t first
appeared distinctly in Western Texas when
its showers extended over most Of that State
and Arkansas. Then the cyclone broad
ened out and carried its precipitation
over the West Gulf States and
parts of Kansas. Southern Missouri, Mis-
sissippi and Western Tennessee. The good
work went rapidly on until the transforms
reached the upper Ohio Valley, the South At
lantic and the Middle States.
The birth Of this timely cyclone probably
marked the beginning of the end of the great
drought which, with slight intermissions,
has been more or less severely felt in the
United States and Europe since the summer
Of 1893.
Though the drought still continues In some
States west Of the central and upper Missis'
sippi, and though more rain will soon be
needed even In the eastern half OF the coun-
try, 1t may with good reason be hoped that
the baueful spell Of the continental drought
Is effectually broken.

BATTLE Of THE BALLOTS.
Results Of the November Elections
in Various States.
SEVEN GOVERNORS SELECTED

The Republicans Successful In Nearly all
the States---New York and New Jersey
Republican by Large Majorities---A
Republican Governor for Maryland---
Tammany Wins in New York City.
The November elections OF 1895, although
held in what is called san of year." excited
unusual interest in all the thirteen States
and in the one Territory in which the battle
of the ballots was fought. In nearly every
Stste there was q fierce fight within the
party that Is usually predominant, because
of some local issue and this made it almost
impossible to successfully forecast the re-
suits Good weather prevailed all over the
Union and because of this heavy votes were
polled everywhere. In many places new
methods of voting were tried, all OF which
worked successfully.
New York.
The weather throughout New YORK STATE
was fine and favorable to the Republican
ticket. Full votes were polled In the cities,
and about two-thirds of the vote seems to
have been brought out in the country. Not
one county went Democratic above Harlem
River. There was marked tendency to vote
straight tickets in handling the blanket bal
lot. The number of spoiled ballot was sur
prisingly small!
The State re-elects the present State Of
ficers and elects Judge Ceiora E. Martin to
the Court of Appeals by pluralities OF about
10000. The same ticket was carried In 1893
by about "a. 900 plurality. Rochester is the
only city showing Democratic gains, Re-
publicans carried Rensselaer, and Albany
