FRENCH DEPUTIES ARE rnpArrExr
want 90 Know More of France's For-
cIgn md Colonial RenntIons.

Copyright. 1896. by the Asseca,ed PressO
PARIS, Nov. 21.-M Millerand, the social
ist member OF the Chamber OF Deputies, to-
day questioned the minister for foreign af-
fairs, VI. Hanotaux. as to whether a con-
vention between France AM Russia actually
existed, and II such was the case, what were
its main lines.
In the course OF long reply on the sub
ject, VI. Hanotaux said: II am asked today
to give explanations OF our policy which
were not asked OF my precursors. and
can only reply that what can or ought TO
be said publicly thereon has already been
said in measured concerted, precise terms
by the car and the president. at Cherbourg
before the naval officers, at Parts before the
representatives OF the government and the
nation, and at Chalons before the chief Off
GERS OF our army. The nature Of my func-
tions and superior considerations which the
Chamber will understand Impose upon me
the duty to add nothing on the sub
ject Of the entente, which nobody dreams of
denying or doubling"
Later VI. Delomiele criticised the silence
Of the ministers on the situation in the
colonies, and asked for the correspon lence
exchanged between Great B-;tain and France
on the subject OF Madagascar, saying he
wanted light thrown as we'll upon the situa-
tion in Siam and Tunis. lie also asked
what was the attitude the government pro-
posed to adopt with a view 10 a new Brit
ish expedition under the auspices OF the
Niger company, contendi1g that the former
confidence shown in the settlement Of :he
Egyptian question seemed 20 have vanished.
laig q. N
otaux.
NJ. Delomiele, continuing. said: II ask
for a single act to recall England to her
promise to evacuate Egypt Blu; it must be
immediate, for in 4 few lays it will be too
late"
NJ Hubbard said England had taken Dom
gola, was preparing to march on Khartoum
and was about to seize the southern prov
inces, adding, "ls it not time for France to
act?"
NJ Hanotaux, in reply, saii he could no;
answer NJ. Hubbards question. as he had
received no notice OF 4. Replying to NJ.
Delomiele. the minister for foreign affairs
said: I'VE are awaiting the Judgment OF the
court, and the question Of the war funds
advanced by the Caisse OF ;hq Egyptian debt
before deciding upon our en1rze. As TO :he
claims Of France in Egypt no one dreams Of
abandoning them. France b. no longer alcne
in pressing England to frlin her engage
ments. She is supported by, a friendly ma
tion. (CheersJ
After further discussion and several futile
attempts upon the part o. NJ. Hubbard 10
defeat the credits asked for by the govern
ment, the Chamber OF Deputies passed the
remaining clauses of the Foreign office osti-
mates.

SUCCESSOR TO HoHENLoHE NAMED
Count Won Wn1dersee Slated by Rumor
for the Chancciiorship

BERLIN, Nov. 21.-Reports continue to be
persistently circulated TO the effect that
Count Won Waldersee, who was recently
complimented by King Humbert of Italy and
Prince Bismarck on the generalship which
he displayed during the military maneuyers
at Stettin is to be recalled here by :he EN-
peror and that he will succeed Chancellor
Won Hohenlohe. General Won Waldersee was
not long ago promoted TO the post OF field
marshal and during recent years he has
been regarded IS Won Moltke's ablest pupil.
Interest will be aroused in America by this
report, owing to the fact that Won Walder-
sees wife is an American. She was for
merly Miss Marie Lea and her father was
wholesale grocer in New York City. Upon
the occasion of her marriage TO Prince Won
Moor in 1864 the emperor of Austria created
her a princess in her own light. Her hus-
band, dying six months after the wedding,
left her an estate believed to amount tC si,-
100000. She married Count Won Waldersee
two years later

HAVANA, Cuba. Nov.f eL-(New York
| World Cablegram-Speciai relegram.) )-The
Pinar del Rio correspeneant of La Lucia,
writing from Bahia Hondo. asserts that An
tonic Maceo was killed in a recent engage
| ment near Brujo. The report, however,
lacks official confirmation and is discredited
here.
General Weyler recommends Brigadler
General Gernal for promotion.
A major general and 1000 sick soldiers
are reported 10 be at Candeleria on the West
ern railway, awaiting transportation to hos
pitals in this city. An insurgent hospital
was ralded today and destroyed by Lieuten-
ant Colonel Fonds Fonsdevilla, near Campo
Florida, in Havana province.
Though no decisive engagement has been
fought in Pinar del Rio province since
Weyler, as general-in-chief, assumed per-
sonal command of the Spanish forces in
the field. the general result of the campaign
is regarded in official circles as a triumph
OF the government. Maceo's refusal TO ac-
cept pitched battle to decide the fate Of
the revolution has added much to General
Weyler's military prestige. Insurgent posi-
tions, alleged to be impregnable, have been
abandoned after a trifing resistance and
one by one the northern hills are being
occupied by Weyler's columns, while the
rebel forces have dispersed into small
groups, scattering themselves in guerrilla
bands over the province.
General Weyler. however. proposes, / un-
derstand, to continue the work with renewed
activity, and the outlook for his final sue
cess now seems not altogether unpromis-

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says Appreciat-
ing that the return OF General weyler from
the present campaign without making any
headway against Maceos forces will greatly
aggravate the already critical situation in
Cuba, officials and diplomats in Washing
ton have been earnestly discussing for some
days various plans for relieving the situ-
alton.
The question OF a SpaLish-Cuban armistice
has been widely discussed. II the cond-
tions will admit there is every reason to
believe the administration will exercise its
good Offices to bring about an armistice in
the event that affairs become more critical
because of an unsuccessful campaign
against Maceo.
II is understood that ole form OF peace
ful Intervention which Consul General Lee
has proposed to the authorities here con-
templates the use of the good Offices Of the
United States to bring about modus
viyeLdi for a sufficient time to enable nego-
tiations to be conducted for securing the
Independence OF Cuba by purchase, the
United States guaranteeing the payment.
General Lee has not advised the immedi-
ate adoption of this plan, believing there
would have to be change in the situation
before il could be put into practical effect.

Shit IS UNKNOWN
Queer Story Of the Adoption Of
a Little Girl Baby By
Mrs. Newkirk.

A little girl waif, a founding barely
six weeks old. found by the janitor in the
basement of a fiat on East Forty-third
street. New York, has been attracting
attention and holding daily receptions
in Bellevue Hospital. The fact that the
babe when found was clad in royal
underwear of fine spun silk, added to
the mystery surrounding the child's dis
cover in such a place. Since that time
many women have offered to adopt the
child.
A New York morning paper said that
of fifty Mrs. Jennie Newkirk Of No. 247
Seventh street was the successful one.
A call made at No. 247 Seventh street
today by a News reporter revealed tho
fact that no such woman lived there.
The occupants of the house disclaimed
all knowledge of the case nor were
they acquainted with anyoneabearing the
name. Neighbors bore out the statement.
No Mrs. Newkirk lives ON Seventh street.
The paper went on to say that Mrs.
Newlkirk had once before taken a child
from Bellevue for adoption. but the little
one had died. Mrs. Newkirk was sup
piled with the best of references and SO
took precedence over the others.

GOOD. BUT TOO DEAR.
Why Our Ready-Made Clothing Will
Not 10 in England.


WASHINGTON, Mach IS. fSs6.-The
failure of an attempt to introduce Amer
lean ready-made clothing into England
is tod in a report to the State Depart
ment from Claude Meeker. United States
Consul at Bradford. A Bradford manu-
facturer visiting New York wos much inn
pressed with the quality, cut, style and
finish of the ready made clothing for
sale, and brought to Bradford some
sample suitings for children. in which
he sought to interest. the ready made
wholesale clothiers.. of Leeds. n Brad
ford.
But while the American suits were
greatly admired on account of the good
Workmanship and style, the effort was
being at fault. One Junior SUIT, New
York price SLIT. could be purchased in
Leeds at wholesale for three shillings, a
difference in favor of the Leeds article,
acknowledged not to be quite so stylish,
eff forty-three cents.
Differences of eighteen cents n fifty
cents in favor of English suitings are
noted by Mr.. Meeker. Knee breeches
bought in New York for SAP per dozen,
were cheaper than similar English goods
by twenty cents per dozen. The quo
tations are at net cash wholesale prices.
