LONDON. May "a dispatch from

the Russian government is satisfied
with Japan's reply to the protest OF the

far closed. Russia is evidently glad to
get out of very awkward position
without haggling as to the particular
form of language in which Japan
agrees to refrain from annexing the

1854 he disclosed the project of Suez
canal to Said Pasha and two years later
secured the desired concession. The
canal was opened for steamers of light
draught in 1865, and the full plans
were carried to completion in 1869.
Since 1873 Count de Lesseps has con-
centrated his attention on the Panama
Canal. ~ r~,aa - ~.''-
1t was in 1875 that De Lesseps in
augurated the movement that culmin-
ated in the canal congress of 1879 and
the adoption of the scheme for uniting
the Atlantic and Pacific at the isthmus
of Panama. From the beginning the
aged engineer and diplomat seems to
have been as badly deceived and victim
lied as the public. Lying circulars were
issued, and the Paris and Panama pa
pers were induced to aid in the decep-
ton of investors. The magic of the
name of De Lesseps caused the thrifty
peasantry all over France to open their
wooden stockings, and gold poured into
the Panama treasury in a food. The
story of the extravaganza and corrup-
ton which followed is still fresh in the
public mind. 1t constitutes one of the
most disgraceful, as well as one of the
most gigantic, swindles in history.
At the time the exposure came the
actual cost of the completed fraction
of the canal-variouslY estimated at
one-fourth, one-fifth and one-tenth-
was S2GO, 900, 900, more than double the
first estimate of the entire work. The
money had gone into extravagant and
useless outlay and into the pockets of
the conspirators and those of leading
statesmen and journalists in Paris.
There was not sufficient evidence that
either De Lesseps or his son had re-
ceived any of the money in a corrupt
way, but to satisfy the public rage
both were convicted, although the SEN
tence against De Lesseps, Sr., was
never carried out.

Miss Ismena Means Business

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 11.-Ismena
i. Martin, who, the dispatches saw.
is wanted in Denver for forgery
and other Otfenses, has had a re-
markable career for so Young q
woman. She is not more than
twenty-five years old, and began to
get into public notice at her home
here about four years ago. Vari-
Gus blackmail schemes on promi-
nent men were worked with Sic
cess, but things finally became so
warm that she had to leave town.
She next appeared in Cleveland,
where she raised considerable
money by falsity, impersonating
Mrs. Frank Leslie and Kate Field.
Then she fled to New York and
was sentenced to prison for black
mailing scheme, but was pardoned
shortly afterwards, owing to her
youth. About year ago she re-
turned home and began the publi-
cation OF a weekly paper. She
raised considerable mOnty through
this and then went west. Her pa
rents are quite respectable people.

Trolley Troubles in JERSEY citv.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE en-
ployes Of the Consolidated Traction
company in Jersey City are grow
ing restless because Of the failure
OF the cympany to keep promises
to increase wages. 1t is claimed
that the rise Of Brooklyn Trolley
strike has changed the minds OF
the Jersey City officials. There is
much murmuring among the men.
They suffered great hardships dur
ing the recent billiards and some
OF them do not hesitate to say that
a strike will be ordered unless the
company meet their agreement. 1t
was said last night that the COM
pany will meet this week to con-
slider their grievances. The petit.
ton for the strikers demands in
part:
a standard wage and the sched-
ule and - a day for every trolley
man, instead OF the present paw,
which hardly averages $3.50, an

expectedly. Although of noble origin
she lived at the time of her accession
to the throne in very modest circum'
an, keeping a butcher shop in the
Hova capital. Now, however, she sur
rounds herself with much outer show
of majesty; no one dares approach her.
She lives like recluse in her palace at
Tananarive, occasionally going abroad
with her prime minister in sedan
chair, but showing herself to the pop
ulace only on very rare occasions.
Such an occasion presents itself reg
ularly once a year, in the last days of
November, on the celebration of the
national feast Of the bath. On this
day the queen receives at her palace,
extended upon a couch of red velvet.
She then suddenly disappears behind a
curtain where for some minutes she
refreshes herself in perfumed bath.
When this has been completed salvo
of artillery announces to the people
that the royal publication has been eff
fected. After that she makes tour of
the palace and from silver ever, car
ried by a gorgeously-appareled serv-
ant, she sprinhles water upon all the
troops who stand in line in the court
yard with presented arms. The official
account of the French envoy, NJ. de
Vilers, would indicate that the queen
is not a beauty; but with characteristic
gallantry he adds that she has certain
feminine coquetries and loves handsome
gowns rather for the pleasure of pos
sessing them than of wearing them.
The climate of Madagascar is not con-
ducive to elaborate toilettes or needless
clothing of any description.
About two years ago her majesty
tired of the idleness and frivolity of her
mode of existence and undertook to
emancipate herself from the dominance
of the prime minister. With the assist
ance of one of the sons of this official
by a former wife, the queen plotted to
to secure real as well as nominal con-
troll of the government. But Rain
ilaiarivony nipped the project in the
bud by beheading the queens chief adj
visers.

Threatened cabmen's Strike.

New YORK, Feb. 1.-THE asso-
citation of Cabmen met last night
and discussed ways and means to
bring about a strike. They say
that the hours are entirely too
long. They are on their boxes
from the rising to the setting OF
the sun. Sunday is just as bad as
any other day, and it is to correct
this fault that the cabmen held
their meeting last night. The
final decision will not be announced
until today. Should they strike
some 900 cabs, owned by different
stables, will be tied up.

WAR IN MADAGASCAR.
France Must Send Troops to the
Island at Once.
Some Interesting Chat About Queen RAMA
valona and Her Prime Minister
Once a Year the Dusky Mon
arch Takes Public Bath.

The mission of NJ. Myre de Vilers to
Madagascar having failed, nothing re-
mains for France but to vote war
budget and send soldiers and sailors to
bring the queen and her advisers at
Tananarive to terms. A modest esti-
mate places the cost of this enterprise
at fully one hundred and fifty million
francs and a number of lives dependent
in part upon the accuracy of the NADIA
gascar warriors, but chiefly on the ter
rible roads and the deadly climate Of
the island.
AS a starter France will send main

Soudan-and supplementary corps Of
about 5000 marines, most of whom
have had plenty of previous foreign
service. There is no reason to doubt,
of course, that in the end France will
win the fight. In that event the re-
public will be richer by an island
greater in area than France itself, and
by about five million subjects. From
all accounts, however, these latter will
not prove a very valuable possession.
They are lazy, no more honest than the

terprising and best-equipped of the
tribes with whom the French soldiers
will have to try conclusions, have
their capital at Tananarive, where the

gascar; but apparently she does not
count for much. The gentleman with
the elaborate surname is the real ruler
of the island. He chooses and decides
everything for her majesty. Indeed,
by peculiar law of that country the
prime minister is also obliged to serve
as husband to the sovereign. He has
already occupied this complicated posi-
ton for three queens In point of fact
the prime minister names the success
sion to the throne, the only limitation
to his authority being that his choice
should belong to the line of Andria-

TIE FAITHFUL SvilSov.
lCharmingly Euloglzed by q Writer for an
English Magazine.

A bulldog, writes London Pail Mall
Budget contributor, may be accurately
characterized as the best friend of man

cheney; his sense of smell is so infnites-
imal that water goes for altar of roses.
His faithfulness may always be placed
at one hundred. Tell a bulldog to
watch thing-animate or inanimate-
and he will watch it with degree of
care unknown to the policeman. He is
always ready to lavish affection upon his
master, except in the dark. In the dark
he must be approached, even by his
master, with circumspection. This
hdiosyncracy should not be considered
q fault 1t should not be expected
that an animal possessed of such a
nose could smell. How the first bull
dog got the nose is a matter controver-
sial as well as scientific, but it is gen.
orally supposed that the first bulldog
was baying the moon and staring
straight at it when he was hit on the
end of the nose by an aerolite, which
drove the nose into the face, where it has
remained until this day. Bulldogs are
much in favor with married ladies. No
married man who possesses bulldog

tiers q house stealthily IN the dark is
considered friend by a bulldog. At
