BISMARCK ON ARBITRATION.
An Interview with the Prince
Through His SOn-in-Layv.

NEW YORK, Feb. "a dispatch TO the
World from London says: Prince Bis
marck has received representative of the
World at his castle at Freidrichsruhe. he
correspondent called by appointment with
Count Rantzau, the son-in-law OF the
prince. who enjoys the closest confidential
relations with the great chancellor. The
World had requested an expression OF opin-
ion from Prince Bismarck on international
arbitration. The princes answer was made
through Count Rantzau yesterday in these
words: "On the merits OF The arbitration
treaty now pending in the United States the
prince has not a word TO say. re wishes it
to be understood that the opinion he now
expresses is purely theoretical or academ-
ical in respect to arbitration OF disputes be-
tween nations. and not as an expression up
on the merits of the peace treaty agreed
upon but not yet 'atified 1etween Great
Britain and the United States. Upon that
he wishes to make no expression.
Prince Bismarck declares emphatically
that he detests war, although he has been
driven to advocate it where there has been
no other means of settling disputes and
where the fate of the fatherland was in
volved. Arbitration he would certainly
have preferred could he have expected that
the decision would have been such as he
considered to be just. 1t is only necessary
to remember, however, the Caroline
islands and the Popes decision against
Germany and in behalf of Spain. In pri-
vate life the value of any agreement be-
tween different persons however precise
the wording, depends entirely on the char
acter of the contracting parties, and even
then there are the law courts 10 appeal 10
whenever differences arise. But where is
the law court any court, in fact,
which could eventually enforce its sense in
the case of two great nations entering into
a treaty of arbitration? No statesman in
this world is so powerful TO be able to
command the voice Of the people in certain
emergencies. No arbitration treaties will
ever succeed in abolishing war as the sole
means of settlement of a dispute when the
whole future of a nation is believed by its
people to depend on the way the issue is
settled.
THE terrors of modern warfare" con-
tinued the Iron Chancellor'S statement,
the uncertainty as to what the end would
be, Will do more at present, at least, to
prevent war than any treaties could do.
Once che people are educated enough to
comprehend that war is a double-edged
sword, aggressors often being the loser,
then war will cease When the present agi-
tation in Great Britain and the United
States in favor of international arbitration
proves how humanity has advanced, it is
to be applauded for that reason, if not for
ANYTHING else

NO C0NSUMPTIVE WILL DIE
SO LONG AS HE CAN DIGEST AND AS
SIMILATE FOOD.

All physicians admit this Yet he.e the
difficulty begins. How can we build up the
consumptives body as fast as the disease
tears it down? Let us consider.
Cough mixtures must be avoided because
they frequently contain opiates which ar
rest the digestion. Their only effect on the
cough is by Supplying the nerves. Let
them alone.
All foods that are hard TO digest must be
avoided. especially fats and oils. Only
those foods that are easily dgested and as
simulated should be eaten. Foods not thus
accepted by nature do no good; they do
harm. Not what is merely eaten but what
is dgested and sssimla.ed gives flesh and
strength.
Consumption is starvation. slow or rapid,
as may be. The first symptom is. not nee
essarily a cough. but a tendency TO lose
flesh to grow thin. Stop this tendency now.
Don't wait for obvious lung trouble. That's
only a later development-only a minor
point
Stop the wasting and you master the dis
ease. even though IL may have made some
slight inroads already Increase the flesh
and the danger is past.
What is needed is an especially prepared
food. a nutriment in itself and digester
of other foods.
Such an article Is the Shaker Digestive
Cordial. made by the Shaker Community.
Of Mount Lebanon, y. Y. Ii creates "A nat
ural appetite and insurcs the digestion OF
wasting which is fatal in the consumptive
process
A man may lose money and not die n
bankrupt One may have CONSUMPTION
and not die of IL. This is science and
sense. The success OF this new remedy
proves IL.

A few days afterward he received an ex-

went into the woods near his house that
night TO divide the contents. 1t contained
nothing but brown paper. Crum and Evans

REPLY TO HICKs-BEACH.
vi. NJ. HanOtaux's Speech to French
Deputies on the EEyptIan Question.

PARIS, Feb. S.--There was a big attend
ance in the Chamber of Deputies to-day in
expectation of hearing an exciting debate
on the Egyptian question. as NJ. Francois
Deloncle, the Well known anti-British dep
uty from Castellane, had announced his
intention of interpellating the government
on the action it intended to take in view
of the defiant utterances of Sir Michael
HickS-Beach, the chancellor of the ex-
chequer, in the British House of Commons
on Friday last. NJ. Deloncle to-day asked
for statement from the government on
the references of Sir Michael Hicks Beach
to France and Russia The diplomatic gall
lery was full, and among those who lis
tened to the long speech of NJ. Deloncle on
the situation was Sir Edmund j. Monsoon,
the British ambassador.
The minister for foreign affairs. NJ. Han
otaux. replying. said he was unwilling to
engage in policies between the two parlia-
ments. which might be the cause of re-
grettable Misunderstanding. But, he re-
marked the utterances of Sir Michael
icks-Beach did not tend towards a solu-
ton of pending international questions

Egyptian expedition TO Dongoa) before the
mixed tribunal at Alexandria. Why. then,
should she endeavor to discredit its juris-
diction which Nj. HanotauX stated was ap-
proved by all Europe. Continuing NJ Han
otaux said that the Soudan expedition
gravely concerned the future of Egyptian
finances, and France, as one of the trus-
tees of Egypt, had the right to ask that
this side of the question be carefully eX-
amined. Many times had Egypt sunk enor-
nous sums in expeditions into the Soudan,
and it was the ruinous efforts to conquer
the Soudan and Abyssinia. which compelled
the European powers to Intervene. There
fore the French government felt that it
was its duty 10 warn Egypt that she was
embarkinS in an enterprise which might
again lead To a financial deficit. In con-
clusion NJ. HanotauX said he was con-
WINGED. in view of the delicate situation
existing in Europe at the present moment.
that every one would agree that nothing
should be done to disturb the concert of
the powers, but at the same time he felt
ii incumbent on him to declare that as re-
regards Egypt nothing had been changed
from the international view point, nor was
there any change in the resolute attitude of
France in these matters. The subject was

UNDER THE GREEK FLAG
CRETAN CHRISTIANS PROCLAIM
THEIR UNION WITH GREECE.
Many Rumors Concerning the Situa-
ton on the Island-Dr. Nansen
Presented with a Medal.

LONDON, Feb. 9.-Many rumors were
afloat yesterday as to the situation in
Crete, where the Mussulmans have been
massacring the Christians and burning
towns and villages. A dispatch from Canea
says that the Christians about that place
have hoisted the Greek flag, have pro-
claimed the union of that island with
Greece and have invited the King of Greece
TO take possession of It, The Greek squad
ron on arriving at Canea did not salute the
Turkish flag. Official advices say that the
Mussulmans are preparing a massacre at
Retimo. The representatives of some of
the powers have expressed to the Greek
government surprise that Greece has sent
war ships to the Island of Crete.
The fires in and about Canea have been
quenched. In all, according to the official
report, two hundred buildings were de-
stroyed and 5000 Christians have fled OF
this number 1000 are on board British war
ships. Greek war ships have taken off the
rest of the Christian refugees.
The latest news from Canea is to the
effect that lighting outside the city still
continues and that provisional Cretan gov
eminent is being formed. The Mussulmans
of Heraklion have attacked the arsenal
there and have carried off 1000 rifles.
An unconfirmed dispatch from Berlin
says it is rumored in Athens that the for
elgn war ships have begun a lombard
ment Of Canea- The German war ship
kaiserin Ausguta has been ordered to pre-
pare to sail as soon as possible for the is

ems says that the Turks have been ex-
PEELED IRON Halepa by a strong force. and
that the Sphakiots. or inhabitants of the
town OF Sphakia, on the southern coast of
crete. are now engaged in Il desperate
struggle 10 regain possession of the place.
The Christians are fighting under the flag
OF Greece all along the line.
a dispatch to the Times from Canea re-
viewing the recent troubles in Crete, says
that but for the presence OF the foreign
war ships the loss of life must have been
far greater. Pumps sent from the men-of-
war also prevented the burning of the en-
tire town Of Canea. Two whole streets
were reduced to ashes, a large number of
buildings, including the bishops residence
and the Christian schools, being destroyed.
