FRANC0-RUSSIAN ALLIANCE.
PARTISAN PAPERS COMMENT
SIGNIFICANTLY.
Revival of Hope That A1sace and
Lorraine VIII Again Be
come French.

| ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. Pit was
semi-officially announced to-day that
| conferences between the French and
Russian Ministers Of Foreign Affairs
were held first in the presence of the
Gar and afterwards in the presence OF
| President Faure 1t is added that re-
suits are most satisfactory for the in
terests of France and Russia and for
the peace of the world.
PARIS, Aug. 27.-The morning news
papers of this city express delight al
the fact that, by the mention of the
word alliance" in the toaStS of the
Gar and President Faure, on board
| the French cruiser Pothuau at Cron-
stadt yesterday, the world has been in
formed of the fact that a distinct I'M
| Outstanding really exists between
France and Russia, and that this I'M
Outstanding is apparently in the nature
of an alliance for the preservation OF
the peace of Europe, though some OF
the French papers, the "Rappel," for
instance are inclined to believe that
the alliance means Russia's support OF
! France in the event of the latter at
tempting to reconquer Alsace and Lor-
raine from Germany.
| On this subject, as cabled to the AS
| ISOLATED Press last night, the "Rappel'
| said:
| 1.-The hour of PREPARATION is about to
strike. Alsace and Lorraine will become
| French again, and the great peace
| spoken of on board the Pothuau will be
built on the shattered debris of Powers
| founded on brute force
| The "Gaulois" says of the mentioning
of the word alliance" such an express
sion was not inserted in the toast for
nothing. "It was no mere verbal flour
| ish. There never are fiourishes in the
Cars toasts, and we can only see in it
the very soul and inspiration of the al
| lance"
| The "Soliel' remarks: Something is
| changed in the world to-day. The
Franco-Russian alliance makes its APP
pearance as great force in the world $
| international politics..
The Radical says: We dreamed OF
an alliance for revenge, and we have
an alliance for peace. We must bid
farewell TO our patriotic hopes"
| The Authorize however, takes a
| different view of the question, saying:
After the Cars reference to right and
equity, it is no longer forbidden that
| France should think of Alsace and Lor-
| raine'

RAN AGAINST WALCOTT.
A San Francisco Coal Merchant
Has a Little Experience.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. Pc. L.
Andrews, a coal merchant, had an ex-
perience tonight that he will not for
get in a hurry Andrews was on his
way to the ferry in a street car in which
were sitting Joe Walcott, who con-
quered George Green last night, his
manager, O'Rourke, and George Dixon.
Andrews, who knew his fellow passen-
gers, began to denounce ''niggers," es-
pecially prize-fighterS, when Dixon en-
tered a mild protest, to which Andrews
responded with a blow on the little
fellows jaw. O'Rourke interpOsed, and
further trouble was averted until the
ferry landing was reached, when Wal
colt, boiling over with rage, caught
Andrews a right handler on the jaw,
sending him a dozen feet across the
road. Andrews retreated, and the
sloggers caught their boat.

THE EXTRA DUTY CLAUSE.
1t Was Inserted in the Tariff Bill
SurreptitiousIY.

BOSTON, Aug. Pin letter to the
Herald" published to-day, Senator
William E. Chandler, in explaining the
construction of the clause of the new
tariff bill imposing a 10 per cent. extra
duty on all foreign products coming
through Canada into the United States,
holds that the legislation was passed
by writing it as new matter into a con-
ference report, where it was adopted by
both houses of Congress without being
noticed by more than those persons en-
gagged in the scheme.
The Senator points out that the con-
ference committee went beyond its
powers when it inserted this impor-
tant amendment into clause of the
law about only five words of which the
Senate and House had disagreed upon.
The wording so much affects New
England trade Senator Chandler says,
that each one of the Senators and Rep
resentatives may be fairly called upon
to state what, if anything, he knew
about it, and why he did not expose
and try to defeat it.
Continuing, Senator Chandler says:
For myself, l regret to say that I did
not notice what the Committee of Con-
ference had done. Senator Cannon in
open Senate asked whether they in
tended to do anything but settle the
differences between the two houses
whether they intended to put any new
matter into the bill-and Senator AL
lison replied emphatically that Of course
they did not

mund Morris, who is wanted in Brook

COLUSA, Aug. 27.-No talk of lynch
ing Pedro Vanaily, who committed
murderous assault on Miss Poirier three
days ago, has been heard since the mi
1itiamen reported for duty at the jail
last evening The town is quiet to-
might, and there is no apparent indi-
cation of trouble. Two companies Of
the National Guard, B of Colusa and ID
of Marysville, are under arms at the
jail, and subject to the order of Sher-
if Jones. Company D will probably re-
turn TO Marysville tomorrow, but the
Sheriff says he will keep Company b
on hand until he is satisfied that all
danger of a mob attack on the Jail has
passed.
Miss Poirier is now resting easily, and
the attempts at lynching her assailant
viii not likely be renewed, unless the
girl takes a decided turn for the worse.
Meanwhile Vanaily, under special
guards in the Jail, is gradually grow
ing weaker. 1t is unlikely that he will
live long enough to receive legal pun
dshment for his crime.

the open door, wherein these neglected lit
tle chlldren or poor or vicious parents may
enter, and find safe refuge from the vices
OF the street and enlightened judgment in
directing their inexperienced little feet.
In a word, it is the missing link, educa-
ponally, which purposes that from the
four the child is capable of being taught,
the process of education should be consid-
cred in unbroken line, that, instead of be-
ing exposed to the possibilities of neglect
and allowed to lay the foundations of
vicious habits, he should be held in the
atmosphere of interest and wise direction
until ready to enter upon the formal du-
ties of student life.
That there is among these little children
OF the very poor an absolute need of such
guardianship and guidance, no resident of
city like this can doubt. The state of
missouri spent last year over three and q
quarter millions of dollars for the support
of criminals. A contemplation of this fact
alone ought to suggest to thinking people
an experiment along new lines. Would it
not be wiser, more humane and more Just
to attempt a rescue of children exposed to
the corrupting influences which abound in
the slums of great city, by securing their
attendance for a year or two in kinder
gartens, until they can be transferred TO
the larger school? Yes, and would it not
be cheaper, too, than to care for the grad
uated criminal who is fostered and grown
through inattention and neglect?
Among the federated clubs which will
meet in Kansas City this week are several
that are devoting their best efforts to kim
dergarten work and propaganda. Among
them, the Gabelle Grove kindergarten AS
sociation, of st. Louis, has been particu-
larly fortunate in its methods, and es-
pecially successful in its work.
1t maintains kindergarten Settlements"
some of the teachers actually living in the
SUM districts of St. Louis, caring for chill
dren between the ages of and years; it
trains teachers in the various departments
of the work; it maintains mothers classes
in which cooperation in aim and method
between the mothers and the teachers is
sought: 1t trains nurses in the physical
care of children, and maintains a sewing
school and a girls club.
The work of the Mothers Union, of this
city, is familiar to many mothers. 1t was
organized for the purpose of securing the
introduction of the Kindergarten idea into
the public school system, which is now
happily accomplished, there being very
successful kindergarten departments in
three of the public schools-the Adams.
Whittier and Emerson. The attention of
this club is now devoted more particularly
to the work of the mother, both along
physical and educational lines.
The Kansas City kindergarten Associa-
ton is another member of the State Fed
Grafton actively interested in this matter.
and indeed, the friends of the movement
among the club women in Missouri are
