LONDON, Nov. 2S.-The welcome respite
trom political agitation throughout Eu-
rone hs having an excellent effect not
onlv bpon financial and business affairs,
hut h the most diversified branches of
nopuhr interest. England, especially, is
reioitIng in a gay reaction from the ma
tiond fit of the blues and returning to
GOOD bumor. This finds expression in
a hundred ways. 1t is somewhat chas-
tened form of gaiety, perhaps, and John
Buu. in high spirits, is rather an incon-
eruous figure, but he has thrown care
10 the winds for the time being and is
.nioving himself just as If the Christmas
holidays were already here. 1t is this Spirit
which has caused him to watch with the
heartiest sympathy the weeks festivities
at Blenheim and to accept almost as per-
sonal compliment, the generous hospitall-
tes extended by the young Duke and
Duchess of Marlborough to their illus
trious guests, the Prince and Princess of
wales. 1t is a notable and gratifying fact
that the weeks events at Bienheim have
won for the American-born duchess a
warm place in the esteem and affection,
not only of her immediate guests, but of
the English people at large. Her tact,
unpretentious graciousness, and sincere
cordially have gained an appreciation
which is no less than national, for it is
scarcely an exaggeration to say that the
eyes of all England have been upon her
during this, her real debut in English So
city. Her place herafter will be one of
honor and higher personal esteem than
any American woman has won in this
country.
Some dispatches from America indicate
the expectation of possible action by Pres
ident Cleveland and congress regarding
the Cuban situation. 1t may be said
without reservation that diplomatic cir
cles in Madrid, Paris and London, expect
nothing of the kind. In fact, 1t is said
with an assurance that almost indicates
knowledge, that President Cleveland may
be relied upon to do nothing to disturb
existing relations during the remainder
of his term. This assurance is most
strongly expressed in high financial cir
cles with what authority l will not un-
dertake to say at present. -
AdYces from Madrid with regard to the
policy Of the Canovas government con-
tinue to indicate what has already been
outlined in this correspondence, name
ly, that only in desperate
exigencies of democratic politics will the
present cabinet attempt to throw the re-
sponsiblty Of their failure in Cuba upon
the government of the United States with
view to inhaming the popular mind with
war fever In no case, at present at all
events, will they yield to public clamor for
such suicidal policy as war with Amer
lea.
Sensational news comes to a waiting
world to-day on the autority of a French
traveller that the missing link has been
discovered alive. Paul D'Enjoy, an ex-
porer who is investigating the unknown
region Of Indo-China, on the frontier of
AMMAN, is the discoverer. He was trav-
cling in a mountainous district, located in
latitude y degrees and longitude 104 de-
grees. 1t is a region of dense forests in
which are a number of savage races, to
approach which is often dangerous. Among
them is a tribe called the Moi one day
as NJ D'Enjoy was going through the
woods with a strong band of his followers
ne came upon small group of Mois, VINO
instantly took to flight with the exception
OF one individual, who was gathering honey
combs in tall tree. When he saw the
travellers he came down the trunk with
his feet fiat to the bark apparently not
using the tail which he had, and attempted
10 escape, but they had sur
rounded the tree and after a struggle et-
fected his capture. Some of the party un-
derstood the Moi language, for M. DEN
JOY says that the wild man gave them
some Information about his people, though
mterrupting his discourse with sobs ana
hows. All his race, he stated, formerly
possessed tails, but they were no longer
universal appendages, because many CT
tne tribe had ceased to be of pure Moi
blood through intermarriage, especially In
tne case of those dwelling on the outskirts
OF the country, with tailless tribes. The
Wild mans companions had escaped, but
.hey left behind them in a tunnel-shaped
nut built of dry leaves some polished
stones, bamboo pipes, copper bracelets and
pead collars. These were said to be OBJ
alned from their Annamese neighbors,
with whon they occasionally trade,
