Olney Thinks the Experiment With Eng.
land Should BE Tried First.
No recent overtures for the negotia-
tion Of general treaty Of arbitration
have been made by the French govern
ment to Secretary Olney, and it is not
his present intention to reopen the sub
ject. On July 8, 1895, ambassador Eus-
tis cabled to the state department res
olution unanimously adopted the pre-
oeding day by the French chamber of
deputies. The resolution was as follows:
"The chamber invites the govern
ment to negotiate as soon as possible a
permanent treaty of arbitration between
the French republic and the republic of
the United States Of America.
The attention of President Cleveland
was called to this communication, and
in his message of Dec. 2, 1895, he brief
fly referred to it.
So far as is shown by the published
correspondence, no steps were ever taken
by Secretary Olney toward meeting the
suggestions advanced by the French
government. 1t seems to have been con
sidered inadvisable then, as it is now
to attempt with any other country ,
system of general arbitration until tn,
experiment with Great Britain had beer
tried. New York World.

XVIII.

One soft, warm evening in early June
quite a family party had gathered on
the veranda of the old white homestead
the fragrance of jasmine and magnolia;
q great bunch of roses lay on the little
table beside The reclining chair, where,
propped up with pillows, Mrs. Walton
was placidly enjoying the beauty of the
moonlit scene and rapturously contem-
plating the stalwart form of her soldier
son. 1t was too much-it was too soon
to expect of southern woman even
so customary a thing as change of
mind, when that change involved a con-
fession of interest and pride in the army
blue, but the mother did not live in all
the broad and sorrowing south whose
soul would not have thrilled with pride
and delight, even though hidden and
unconfessed, in reading the ringing
words with which in general orders Il
great union leader had published to his
troops the story of the heroism, devo-
ton, and solderly skill with which
Corporal Floyd Walton, Troop az"
Fourth cavalry, had conducted the de-
Tense of the passengers on the Concho
stage, saving the lives OF Brevet Lieut..
Col. Sweet, who was shot early in the

though himself twice painfully

Col. Sweet had decided to push for

the road to Lampasas, were headed off
at dawn, but fought way to Wither-
ellis old dug-out, the driver and two
soldiers being killed, Col. Sweet and the
corporal both shot in the attempt, and
the stage abandoned and burned. And
there in that sitting hole, without wa
ter for the wounded, they had fought
off dash after dash OF the Indians; but
their ammunition was almost gone,
and only two men had any fight LEFT in
them, when they heard the welcoming
crack Of the rescuers' rifles. Even then

And, borne down the wind, faint and
feeble, yet eXultant, there came the
sound of distant cheer, and the rescuers
knew they had not risked their lives in
vain.
