French army and navy, both as regards
the victualing and the supplies of war
ma terial for both, must necessarily be the
United States, which, even curing the
Franco Russian war, supplied vast guam
titles of both. But with submarine cables
entirely in the hands OF the English, as
heretofore France would be deprived Of
any communication with the United
States, and be practically at the mercy
of its foe for its communications with
America and its own American colonies.
E Sucn a state of things has not escaped
the attention of French strategists or Of
the French government, and the latter
has determined that at all costs and haz-
ards France must be in communication
with the United States by an absolutely
Independent and direct cable. This the
French government has caused to be con-
structed through the medium of the Com
panic Franchise des Cables Tele-
graphique, which is doubling the cable
they already possess, uniting Cape Cod,
Mass, with Brest, the great naval depot
of the French Atlantic fleet. This cable
is being built at a cost of 20 900. 900 francs,
which has been exclusively supplied by
French capitalists, who are secondinS
the patriotic aims of the French govern
ment.
If, however, we contemplate the isolated
action of the United States against Eng
land, we find that the whole Of
our communications with the world at
large will be entirely interrupted and sup
pressed, inasmuch as we have no means
of communicating with Europe, except
through means of communicating with Eu-
rope, except through the medium of the
British cables, from which we would be
entirely debarred. The creation, there
fore, of this French submarine line of
communication is as important from a
military point % view to ourselves as IL is
to the French. Even admitting a success
full invasion OF Canada and the capture
of the Halifax and Newfoundland tele-
graphic cable stations, which would en-.
tail the disconnection of the English lines
with the North American continent, with.
in four weeks a cable would be laid be-
tween the Azores and Bermuda, and an
other between Barbados and st. Vincent,
which would keep the English fleets on
the American coast perfectly informed
and instructed. At the same time, the
British government would be kept perfect
ly informed as to all that took place on
our coast.
1t is therefore incumbent upon us to
welcome and encourage the governments
fostered enterprise of the French cable
company, not only in the laying of this
direct cable between Cape Cod and Brest,
which is of such vital Importance to u.s.
and which has not entailed any expense
whatsoever on our part, but we should
look with pleasure on what must become
the emancipation of the international
communication Of the world $ ,telegraphic
communica tions monopolized by Eng
land, is intolerable and inadmissible, and
the sooner Independent lines of communi-
cation are established, the better it will
be for the world at large.

THE LAST OF "DR. KRUNM."
His Instruments and Household Eff
fects Sold Out.

fects Sold Out.
The surgical instruments, household
goods, and bicycle, levied on some time
ago on attachments taken out in Justice
Bevans' court against Or" A. w. Krumm
were sold yesterday at auction.
Constable Harry Beckett made the sales
There were but few bidders and the prices
were ridiculously low. 1t was estimated
that easily $500 would result from the sale
and that the $3.50 of claims would be more
than satisfied. This lacked a good deal
of being the case, however The sale net
ted only $71SS a sum that will leave the
claimants only $25 to fight over after the
costs of court are deducted.
One of the items charged up against the
assets is a tax execution for $12 10 to pay
DR." Krumm's license.
without which he did some very peculiar
practice.
Valuable surgical instruments went at a
mere song. This will probably close up
DR." Krumm's connection with SaVan-
nah. He tiourished here for WHILE but
his treatment did not always prove salts
factory to his patients. The dissatisfaction
of one young man induced him to inves-
tigate the legality of the Doctors prac-
tice, with the result that he discovered
that he was not regularly licensed ply
stefan and therefore could not practice.
This could easily have been remedied,
but unfortunately the doctor did not have
a diploma, without which no ply
stefan is licensed. This left the
unlicensed disciple of Aesculapius in
hole. He was fined and then tried to
get out of town with his personal effects.
He and his wife were successful, but the
goods were stopped at the depot on at
tachments.
The last heard from the doctor was
