vi. Patcnotre Recalled.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The French
ambassador, M. Patenotre, has received
a cablegram from his government re.
questing him to start for Paris on Sat-
urday next. Accordingly he will pre-
sent his letters of recall to President
Mckinley on Friday, sailing the next
day on the French liner La Cham
payne. M. Patenotre will remain some
time in Paris before proceeding to his
new post at Madrid. This will afford
him an opportunity for comforting with
the Paris authorities and with the new
ambassador to the United States, M.
Canbon, on pending American ques.
tons.
1t had been hoped that the reciprocity
negotiations between France and the
United States would be closed before
M. Patenotre's departure, but this will
be impossible. The terms of the pro.
posed convention have been practically
settled, but the French government
thus far has not given its assent to the
chief feature of the arrangement,
namely, the abrogation of the present
exclusion of American cattle from
France and the admission of such cat
tie under certain restrictions.

Young Curtis Likelv to Die.

PLATrsMoUTH, Neb., Nov. 24-It is
feared that the murderous assault upon
Peter Curtis last week will prove
fatal. The lad is still unconscious, and
it is feared that blood clot has formed
on the brain. Doctors have held con.
sultation and decided that an operation
will be necessary. Slight hopes are en-
tertained of his recovery. 1t is gener-
ally believed that the man in jail at
Nebraska City is the prepetrator of the
crime. In spite of the fact that he has
been held nearly week he has failed
to account for his whereabouts that
night. Circumstantial evidenceis strong
against him. Sheriff Holloway will
look after the man at once.

Illinois Miners Adjust Prices.

JOLIET, Nov. 24.-The conference
here between the northern Illinois strik-
ing coal miners and the operators has
resulted in mutual concessions. The
scale of prices was adjusted satisfac-

of the miners, that the scale should be
paid on a basis of gross weight alone,
was not entirely settled, though many
of the operators conceded the point.

A Good Thing to Remember,

An unmarried woman, in writing to
the New York Herald, in answer to the
question, "Why don't men marry?" re-
marks that neither sex belongs exclu-
sively to the "angel or devil family"
If married folk always bore that in
mind, perhaps wives would receive
more reward for good deeds and hus.
bands more mercy for bad ones and
there would be fewer unhappy mar.

Many of the Cubans Would Starve but For
This Aid.
HAVANA, Nov. 20.-In every town in
Cuba where there are American citizens
groups of starving islanders gather
every day in front Of the houses of
those Americans and beg for the
crumbs. That Americans have any
thing on their tables from which crumbs
could fall, is due to the relief fund of
$4,000 voted last spring by congress.
Consul General Lee has drawn so far
about $4,000 of the total amount.
HAVANA, Nov. 22.-La Luchia, in a
recently published editorial, expresses a
doubt as to the sincerity of the friend
ship for Spain professed by the Amer
lean government, and says: "If the
American government cannot prevent
the sailing from the ports of that
country of expeditions in aid of the in
surgents and does not respond in other
ways to Spain's efforts to come to fav-
orable terms it is useless for Spain to
maintain friendly relations with Amer

OF the reconcentrados in Mantanzas,
numbering more than $4,000, 10 died in
two days, 80 perishing from hunger.
Yesterday II deaths were reported, a
large proportion Of which were the re-
suit of starvation.
In Jaruco about 65 per cent of the
deaths are caused by starvation, and
the same is true of many other towns.
Owing to the lack of proper clothing
and of blankets, the situation of the
reconcentrados is becoming worse as
the cold weather approaches, despite
the efforts to relieve them.
General Losada, subinspector of the
health department, said recently to the
correspondent of Ell Impartial of Mad
rid that there were actually 5000 SOL
diers in the hospitals in Cuba and that
about $4,000 of this number were not

from need of nourishment

expectation that Mrs. Mack would 20
upon the stand there were far more ap-
plicants for admission to the courtroom,
where the trial of Martin Thorn for the
murder of William Guldensuppe, is in
progress, than could be granted.
Thorn is said to have told
one of his cellmates that his brother-in.
law, Minker, had disposed of the head
of Guldensuppe by throwing it over
board from fishing boat off the Jersey
coast. 1t is possible that Minker will
be called as a witness.
