THE State Department has been noti-
fed by Ambassador Eustis of the action
of the French chamber OF deputies in
adopting unanimously resolu ton look
ing to the negotiation of treaty by
which all disputes between the United
States and France may be settled by ar
bitration. The resolution has not vet
been officially communicated by the
French government, and even when it
has been the State Department. does not
look very hopefully upon the prospects of
OF IN agreement, owing to the apparent
impossibility of reconciling the claims
OF the United States under the Monroe
doctrine to the French view. 1t would,
however, present safe way Of dispos-
ing OF the Waller case should mishn-
derstanding arise between the two gov
ernments over that matter.

Col. FRED GRANT is said to resemble
his father, General q. 8. Grant. Very
much in personal appearance; but iudg-
ing by the recent reports from New
York, he is not much like him in the
matter Of holding HE tongue. The COL
onel Ia one of the new police commits
sioners OF New York city and in the
trial Of Captain Eak!n, he pronounced
the proceedings in the case as crime.
This was regarded as reflection on the
other members of the board, but Colonel
Grant disclaims sll such intention on
his part. and says he alone is to blame
as he should have examined the papers
In the case thoroughly bsfofe allowing
the trial to proceed. This is q manly
way OF explaining matters; but silence
in the first instance would have been
golden and explanations unnecessary
afterwards. The old general would have
hardly been placed in such position by
the too free use OF his tongue.

and that is by constitutional remedies

A Punta Gorda, Ala, dispatch says:
At the age of ninety George w. Golf who
lives near here he's grown young again.
Up to year ago Mr.. COT WIGS blind,
partially deaf and bald and had been so
for many gears. About that time, how
ever, he suddenly recovered his eyesight
and hearing and his hair began to grow
Now Mr.. Golf hears and sees as we'll as
be ever did and his head is covered with
growth OF black hair. AS his eyesiRht
strengthened and his hair grew marked
change occurred In Mr.. COTS physical
condition and from being q decrepit
man hardly able to walk he became as
strong and active as youth of twenty
years. The wrinkles Oh his skin disap-
peared and he now looks fresh and
youthful.
The case has puzzled the phyeioians
They say the man.is entirely rejuven-
ated and may live ninety years longer
They assert that the old tissues have
been replaced by new, and that physic-
ally Mr.. Golf is not more than twenty
years old. So youthful did Mr.. Goff feel
last week he married q handsome young
girl. To look AT the couple one would
never suspect that there WAS any differ.
ence In their ages, although the groom
is seventy years older than his bride.
Mr.. Golf WAS born in Georgia in 1905.
He fought in the Indian war under An
drew jackson, and remembers "Old
Hickory" we'll. He also WAS in the
Mex can and civil wars, and was
wounded at the battle of Buens Vista.

PRINCE FERDINAND, of Bulgaria, is
likely to lose his throne because of the
complications growing out of the assas-
sination Of ex-Premier Stambouloff and
from other political causes. Prince
George, of Greece, is mentioned as his
successor, and being cousin and special
friend of the car OF Russia, whose life
he saved some years ago while they
were travelling together in Japan, it
would appear that his chances for the
appointment are very good. Prince
George Is fine specimen of young man

father, the. Emperor Alexander OF Rus.

TIE Populists of Ohio Are evidently
very much in need OF a leader. as theii
nomination OF General Jacob Coxey,
of commonweal fame, for governor
shows. Never in the history Of this
country was there moro farcical per-
formance than the march OF Coxey and
his men upon Washington last year.
The fate of the leaders OF the expe-
dition threw further discredit upon the
whole scheme, and that the Populists Of
Ohio should have the gall to nomina te
the chief of this gang for governor is
evidence enough Of the weakness of the
Peoples Party in that State.

Havana dispatch says Captain
General Martinez de Csmpoa arrived
there unexpectedly yesterday morning.
This would seem to effectually dispose
OF the reports from insurgent sources
that the captain-general was surrounded
by rebels with no hope Of escape. How
ever, the stories from Cuba on both sides
seem to be manufactured out OF the
whole cloth, with very little basis Of
truth in any case. The Spsniards and
those of tina: race seem highly gifted
in the matter OF Imagination.

SENATOR BLACKBURN may not BIO the
profound logicisn that Secretary Car
Isle is, but he certainly seems to have
strong hold upon the affections of tho
people OF Kentucky, who are rallying to
his support In such numbers that he ia
now said to stand an excellent chance
Of being reelected United States SEN
ator from that State. After oil. in the
matter of proof, 1t is not 80 much the
argument as the facts in the case that
bring about the right conclusions. Much
depends upon the premises as to the de.
duction, and II the former are false, the
wrong conclusions will follow. Secre-
tary Carlisle has the faculty of present.
Ing any case he argues in q plausible
manner, and there are many who be.
lieve that his arguments in favor Of
silver coinsge made when he was an ar
dent supporter Of the white metal, are
much stronger than his latter day u liter
ances as an advocate of gold mono-
metsllism. There is, however, q virtue
in politics as in everything else in con.
sistency, and herein lies the difference
between Senator Blackburn and the
Secretary OF the Treasury.

SENATOR HILL AND MIR. MORRISON.
Senator David B. Hill is apparently
willing to waive all claims TO the Demo.
cratic nomination for President in 1895
in favor OF Western man. While dis.
cussing the prospects Of Presidential
candidates, few days ago, he said: ST
the Democrats intend to continue in
bust ness in New York State we must
nominate aWestern man for President"
BE explained the remark with
the statement that Western
man is necessary, because it would
be impossible under existing conditions
to select candidate from New York
who would draw out the full Demo-
cratic vote of that State.
The claim ia made that the factions of
the Democracy in New York are In such
state OF antagonism to each other
that there Is no Presidential timber in
sight to unity the diverse political ele-
ments Of the party and swing them into
line to present an unbroken front to the
enemy. 1t Is said Mr.. Hill is convinced
shot holtucE uo nor mr.. whitney could
do this thing, and as for himtelf he has
made up his mind TO abandon all hope
OF the nomination in '96, and to bide his
time. With this realization OF the situa.
ton, in his mind, Mr.. Hill is said to
have reached the above conclusion, and
the statement Ia further made that he ia
favorable to the candidacy OF Mr.. Will
liam r. Morrison, OF Illinois, for the
Presidential nomination.
AS New York has been furnishi ng
Democratic Presidential nominees since
the war with the exception of General
Hancock, it might be just as we'll to look
elsewhere in 1895; but though Mr. Nor
rison is Western man his views on the
money question. as claimed by those
who are forwarding his candidacy, are
not such as to recommend him to the
silver element OF the Democracy Nor
are Mr.. Hills for that matter, notwith-
standing he is in favor of international
bimetallism.

In the Foot. Hills" was produced
at the Academy of Music last evening
before large audience. The play is
in four acts, and the scene laid in
Colorado during 1873, thereby allow
ing plenty of opportunity for sta,tlipg
situations, daring adventures and
exciting episodes. The play has strong
merits. 1t is ably interpreted by Orson
Clifford, who by the way is well known
In this city. His support is the best
seen at the Academy for long while.
The audience was brimful Of enthusi-
asm, and the play was given with re-
markable smoo'hness. Curtain calls
were given at the end of each act.
Mr.. Clifford received a number of
handsome floral pieces fiom the body
of Knights of Pythians which turned
out to greet their brother member

There are plays without number, to
be sure, OF all sorts and descriptions.
but the one now on the Standard, Gin
the Foothills" and which received
its first representation at that theatre
last evening, is the best I have ever
seen. Mr.. Orson Clifford as Hank
Saxton, the hero, is at home in his
character, and physically and other.
wise gives magnificent rendition of
his role. The cast was all that could
be expected, and included some faces
well known in Philadelphia.
delohia Item, Dec. a6th, 1894.
The new comedy drama, entitled
4" In the Foot Hills" was presented
for the first time at the Star Theatre
last evening. The house was packed
from pit to dome and the audience
proved enthusiastic. The scene of
the play is laid in Colorado during the
year 1873, and the plot is strictly
original, is full of exciting as well as
entertaining situations. The com.
