nAyAvALoSA, QUEEN OF MADAGASCAR


France Is now In complete control in
Madagascar after a severe campaign OF
many months. French claims to some
sort Of authority over Madagascar date
back TO 1912, whe. .~factories and fortihca-
tions were built on the eastern coast, only
% be shortly abandoned. Not so with
French occupation OF the island. From
Louis XIV's time till now there have been
French settlement and some sort OF
French protectorate over one or more OK
the tribes which have divided Madagascar
between them.
But French claims-which have twice
been Mt least partially admitted by Great
Britain-have always included the right TO
dominate over the entire island. In 1917
Great Britain recognized and, to an ex-
tent, conceded these French pretensions In
Madagascar, and in 1890 Lord Salisbury
gave his approval TO the treaty Of 1855 be-
tween France and the Hovas government
This treaty was the end Of futile attempt
by France 10 subjugate the Hovas, who
had been for 80 years bringing the other
tribes into subsection to them and had
become the ruling power OF the island.
Terms OF the Treaty Of 1888.
This compromise is the root of the pres
ent trouble. Under this treaty the for
eign relations Of Madagascar, according
to France, were placed under French di-
rection, while the domestic concerns OF
the island including control of all the
other tribes, remained in tho hands Of the
Hoyas government. There wns To be a
French resident who was TO have n mill
tary guard and live at the Hovas capital,
and to have the privilege of private audi
ence with Queen Ranavalona. French
subjects were To be under French law, and
TO have numerous other privileges denied
by Implication 10 the subjects OF other
powers. In addition TO this treaty secret
convention was made by which the queen
bound herself to make no cession OF u port
or of territory to any other foreign power.
In 1890 Lord Salisbury's government
was trying to establish protectofate over
Zanzibar, but was met by French objec-
tions. which were removed by conceding
the rights which France had obtained In
Madagascar by this treaty Of December,
1885.
The present troubles arise from differ
ences In the Interpretation OF this treaty.
The French at once set up tho claim that
the treaty means a protectorate, and makes
France master over the foreign relations
of Madagascar. The Hovas government
denies all these claims OF France, especi
ally repudlating the protectorate.
The United States government per
mitted Ats consul at Tamataye 20 apply
for his exequatur directly TO the queen;
government, ignoring the French resi-
dent. When Waller resigned IL was &c
take possession of lands which had been
granted him by the queen without can
sultation with the French government
Finally France sent troops into the
country with the above result.
One OF the first acts OF the military wa'
20 arrest Mr.. Waller on trunped-uI
charge Of treason. He was tried by court
martial and sentenced to Imprisonment
for 20 Yeas This summary and appar
emily unjustihable proceeding is now I
matter OF diplomatic correspondence be
tween the United states aud France.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1i.-Judge Bradley
yesterday ordered the discharge OF Major

ment were in violation, not only OF the

tions, and that In whatever capacity Cen
eral Schoacld may have acted, be 1t either

A City Hospital Needed.

Almost daily the police depart ment of Pine Bluff is called upon to care for some poor unfortunate, or sick and destitute person. The members of the force, from the chief down, always respond just as liber- ally as their means will allow, and these constant appeals for charity is a great burden. The city has no hospital or place to which these un- fortnnates, when taken up on the streets, can be sent, and there is no money set aside that can be used by the officers in maintaining or sue coring those who appeal to them. The city needs as hospital, and needs it badly.
 Last evening another sick and destitute man was discovered lying on the ground near the Valley depot, where he had been put off a train. He was sent to the county poor house by the Chief of Police, but the keeper refused to admit him with out an order from the County Judge, and that official not being in the city at that hour it was impossible to secure the necessary permit The Assistant Chief of Police agreed to pay board for the man if the poor house keeper would admit him. But no; the keeper said that it would be as much as his position was worth to take in the sick stranger without Q written order. The man was then brought back to town, carried to the Chief of Police's office and there, on the floor, he spent the long, weary hours of the night.
 The man is not a citizen of the county and the County Judge has no right to send him to the poor house to be cared for at the expense of the payers of the county; yet, what is to be done with him? Humanity demands that he be cared for. Such cases as this shows the crying necessity for city hospital; it is disgrace that Pine Bluff has not such an institution.

Pawnee Blll at Towanda.

Eight thousand people witnessed Pawnee Bills Wild West exhibition at Towanda, Pa, on Tuesday after noon and evening. The performance was novel, realistic and entertain ing. The historic features of the show attracted much attention and the horseback rifle shooting of Miss May Liiley elicted marked applause Everybody was amazed and enter tained at the wonderful feats of the boomerang throwers.
 The fine and well trained horses, the wild Indians and genuine Mexicans, together with their per formance, were attractions worth seeing.
 Everything ill Maj. Lilies show was just as represented, all going away highly please. There was no fakirs or swindling games connected with the show and Maj. I.illie is to be congratulated upon his clean and very excellent exhibition. .- Bradford Star, June 30, 1895.

The strained eyes, drawn lips and excessively flushed faces so often met with among the bicycle riders are natures signals of distress. They in- dicate excessive exertion on the part of those who are often unfit for any thing more than the gentlest exer- else. In the ease particularly of a young woman these indications should be observed with the gravest concern, and unless she can be in duced to ride gently until some strength is accumulated her friends should compel her not to ride at all. When used temperately the cycle is a splendid means of recreation and ex- ercise, but if abused it is a veritable juggernaut, capable of in infiicting the most grievous injuries.

A GOOD ENTERTAINMENT
Was That Given Last Night For the Bene-
 fit of Jack McCamby.

The best entertainment yet given by the Pine Bluff Athletic Association took place last evening at the hall of the association on East Third Avenue It was a benefit for Jack McCamby, a member of the Assoeia- tion who recently lost the use of his limbs from paralysis.
 The first event of the evening was a four round glove contest between Chas. Harrington and Bert Wright. Both young men showed science and pluck and honors in the bout were evenly divided Mickey" Holland came next in his accrobatic clog dance, and his efforts brought forth the warmest applause from the multitude of spectators present.
 The third event was glove con test between Reardon and Farrell. Reardon has only one arm, yet the science he displayed in this contest proves that he would be hard man to best even by a man with two hands.
 Hugh Garroll's high licking was another event that elicited the ap plause of the audience. Next came a four round glove contest between two colored pugilist's of the city. It was give and take between them frh n created great sport. $
 The song and dance by that talented negro mimic, Frank Vowell, was good, and would do credit to a professional minstrel man. The four round glove contest between Billy Pool and John Huggard, was an exhibition well worth witnessing for both men are possessed of great science. The eighth number on the program was 8 banjo solo by Frank VoWell. This proved to be a rare treat. B. M. Sarasson and George Ribold next entered the arena for a wrestling match, and after mighty SlFu2Sle hlDOlu WllIuItW lIOIH LuC contest and the victory was award ed to Mr. Sarasson who then an nounced that he stood ready to wrestle any man in Pine Bluff. His challenge was not accepted and he was awarded handsome gold medal as the champion wrestler of the city.
 The eleventh and last event was a three round contest between Prof. Harvey and Hall. This fight was q ''hot une7 from start to finish, for both men seemed determined to do his opponent up in short order. Harvey was declared the winner of the fight on foul.
 The Athletic Association is to be congratulated on the success made of this exhibition, for each and every spectator present was well pleased, and quite n nice sum of money was raised which will be of great service to the unfortunate man for whom the benefit was given.
