Egnland and France.

LONDON, Dec. lathe six months
protocol between France and England
delimitine the Niger country, expires
today, and as treaty concerning this
territory has not been signed this opens
another dangerous topic between the
TWO nations. There are many who see
a settled EoelIsh policy exhibited in
the recent speeches of Sir Edmund
Monson and others, to provoke France
10 war; Certainly the temptation is the
strongest which ever confronted a ma
ton, because now the destruction of
France would be a comparatively easy
matter. Years hence, if unmolested,
France in combine with Russia, might
turn and destroy the British empire.

THE CUBAN GOVERNORS.

As stated in the Gazstte of that day,
formal announcement was made at the
War Department yesterday that Gene
raj John R. Brooke had been appoint
ed military governor of the Island oil
Cuba. Major General Fitz Lee will be
military governor OF Havana province,
and General Ludlow civil and military
governor or, more properly speaking,
mayor of Havana city. Each of the
six provinces of Cuba will have IFS own
military governor, just as Gen. Wood is
of Santiago, but all of these will receive
their instructions directly from Major
General Brooke, who is in supreme au-
thority of the island. Thus, in Ha-
vana General Ludlow will be governor
of the city, but answerable to General
Lee. the governor of the province of
Havana, who in turn will be answer
able to Major General Brooke, the gov
ernor of the island.

else the privilege of member. He

publican, of Pennsylvania; Colson, re-

forbid any person holding an Office un-

it as his sworn duty to do SO. Mr.
Bailey contends that the question has
been settled by the House, notably in
the Yell case, and that by accepting the
commissions they now hold each of
these members has reliDquished his seat
ia the House.

this country and Canada has effected
nothing and adj ourned until next spring.
Its American members could not and
would not make any concessions in the

SECRETARY BLISS, one of the two

met, but whose talents were devoted to
the making of contracts for army blank
cts, is not willing, and very naturally, to
be held responsible, even partially, for
the dangerous course the administrs-
ton is now pursuing, and has abandoned
it TO its own reckless way. Indeed, il
seems as if Mr.. McMillin's description
of the Cabinet, as recently given in the

may not be very incorrect after all.
