PRESS COMMENTS
ON THE PRESENT ASPECT OF THE ANGLO.
 FRENCH SITUATION.

ON THE PRESENT ASPECT OF THE ANGLO
 FRENCH SITUATION.
 LONDON, March 29.-Commenting on the present aspect of the Anglo French sit pation the Globe says: "England can safely call upon the world to judge whether she should face France's deliberate provo cations in Africa and Siam, or whether it would become the dignity of great nation to turn the other cheek to be smitten any longer.'
 The Pail Mall Gazette says: sFrance is warned since last evening that she has not a shred of pretense tn 4t she does not know that her advance into the Nile valley would be regarded by England as an act of open aud avowed nostiliiy.'
 The Star says: "We deeply mistrust the statement of Sir Edward G:ey in the house of commons last evening, which was a latent threat to France; first, because 1t is the fruit of new spirit that has unhappily crept into liberal foreign policy, and, second, because we are aghast at the mag nitude of the claims to which we are there- by committed.''

HoW,s THIS, SIR EDWARD?

PARIS, March 29.--Fhe Debate says in commenting on Sir Edward Grey's state meat before the3 house of commons last evenings: These recriminstions are un- foundei. We do not admit that France s silence as to England's claim as to the upper Nile region meant consent. France was no party to England's treaty with G -rmany and Italy in which these claims were admitted. We must object 10 Sir Ed ward Grey's confounding British and Egyptian rights. The khedive, in the eyes of France, is the sole and legitimate chief under the sultan's sovereignty. We do not know that we have any expedition on it's way to the upper Nile region, but we do know that France under all circum : stances will recognize the Porte's and Egypts rights to the upper Nile and nobody else.

!. IN THE COKE REGIONS Of Pennsylvania More Trouble Is
 Expected.
COKE WORKERS GAIN A POINT
Demand a Is Per Cent Raise and Get It-ProduCerS
 Name a New Rate.

PIrTsBURG, Pa., March 29.-There is considerable agitation in the coke regio1 over the attempt of the men to secure uniform wage rate. The labor leaders have been among the workers for the last two months and have them thoroughly organ izsd. This move was made in snticipatiol of a general strike, so that they are now in position to make the operators grant thu IS per cent advance made by the Prick company.
 That they are determined to force the ad- vance was shown yesterday when the men at the Stewart Iron company's plant quis work in a body. The company at first le- fused to grant the 16 per cent advance, but the men being thoroughly organized were defiant and only returned to work on promise that the rate would be paid on and after Monday next.
 More trouble is expected next week, as some of the operators say they will not grant the advance.

ROTTEN TO THE CORE.

CoLoRADo's PRISON REFoRMAToRY ONE IN
 NAME oNLY-wHAT WAS FOUND OUT.
 DENVER, March 29.-The Colorado as- semby met in joint session last night to listen 10 the report of the inyestigat ion made cf the prison reformatory at Buena Vista. The utmost secrecy has been made of this investigation, and no facts have been made public in advance. Powerful friends of the interested parties have stren- uously denied the truth of the rumors of mismanagement and inhuman treatment.
 The report is damaging in the extreme. In his letter of transmittal the governor says the findings are fair and are fully sus- tained by the evidence. He declares that no excuse can be offered for inhuman and unjust punish hments, the sanitary condi- tions, the haphazard management of crim- inals and dishonest purchase and disposal of provisions. He ends by saying that the institution has been a reformatory only in name. The committee reports find Deputy Warden Hoyt guilty of inhuman and cruel treatment and in appropriating for his private use supplies and provisions designed for use of criminals.
 The board is stsongly condemned for mis- manapement.

A NEW RATE ADOPTED.

PITTsBURe, Pa., March 29.-The coke producers of the Connelsville region have settled upon the following rates, to take effect on and after next Monday:
 Furnace coke, Sl.35; foundry, $1.50; crushed, $1.65.
 The American Manufacturer says of the change: Some on the buying elde of the market professed to believe the increased cost of material would not make any marked difference in pig iron prices, but this was before the figures were announced. One reason for this opinion may be that low prices have prevailed so long that 1t is difficult for some to believe that higher figures may soon be reached.

He fails to cite single fact, however, 10 show why Germany should decide or has decided to depart from her invariable policy of non n-interference in oriental affairs merely for the purpose of aiding England in Asia.

BRIGADE ENCAMPMENT
Ordered by Governor Oates Official Notification Received Here. New Guns and Suits for
 the Soldiers.

A brigade encampment of the Alabama state troops will be held some time in June. An order to that effect was signed by Gov ernor Oates yesterday and transmitted by the adjutant- general to the commanding officers of the different regiments of the state.
 The place for the encampment has not been decided upon as yet, and probably will not be until the latter part of May. Mobile seems to be the favorite with all the soldier boys of the state, but It depends upon which city makes the best bid for the encampment. If Mobile makes the best offer she will get it, if not it will go some. where else.
 Capt. Paul Sanguinetti of the governor's staff came up from Montgomery last night, and with him he brought the following or der:

DoWn-Only Nineteen
Saved.

San Francisco. Cal. May ga. r..
S. Schwerin, superintendent of the Pacific
Mail company, late last night received
word that the Colima had been wrecked
Fourteen of those on board were saved
Ehe Colima carried about seventy pas

The Coima was commanded by Capt.

2906 tons She was built in 1873 by
Roach & Sons of Philadelphia and was
owned by the Pacific Mail company.
The wreck occurred between Mama,
nilla and Acapulco. The Colima carried
a very heavy cargo of general merchan-
disc, and in addition to the cabin pas
sengers, who numbered between thirty
five and fifty, carried number of steer
age passengers. There were probably on
the vessel all told over 100 people.
Supt. Schwerin's information is very

NEW PACIFIC ROUTE.
'fJinn" HIPS Deal May Force the
Burlington to Extend to
the Coast.

Omaha, Neb., May 29.-It is the talk
in local railroad circles that the alliance
of the Northern Pacific with the Great
Northern is liable to bring about changes
in the traffic contract with the Burling-
ton, and it may be necessary for the
Burlington & Missouri River to protect
its Western interests by parallelng the
Northern Pacific tracks west of Billings
in order to gain entrance into the North
west country. When J. M. Hannaford,
general traffic manager of the Northern
Pacific, was in Omaha fortnight ago
talking to friend. he is represented to
have said that the traffic arrangements
with the B. & NJ r. were of such
character as to give his company con-
siderable annoyance, and to know just
what to do with the contract was bother
ing officials not a little. This uncertainty
grows out of the inroads which the Bur
lington has been making in the freight
haul for Puget sound points, much of
which has heretofore gone by way of st.
Paul Now that Jim Hall has obtained
a footing with the Northern Pacific and
will virtually dictate its policy, the know
ing ones believe that the contract with
the Burlington will be annulled. But the
Burlington has already realized the i'm
portance of line between Chicago and
Puget sound and it is understood corps
of surveyors is already in the field rum
ming a line west from Billings. Whether
the objective point is Seattle is hard to
determine, but it is pretty thoroughly set
tied that the B. & NJ r. will not be
placed at the mercy of northern line.
