Gloomy Outlook for France.

EPINAL, France Oct. 9.-Jules Me-
line, Premier OF the French Minis
try preceding the present Govern.
ment OF M. Brisson, who presided at
a banquet OF the Association OF
Railway Employees here last even
ing, uttered a serious warning
against the agitation and unrest in
France.
Referring to the divided state Of
the country, the violence OF pole
mics and the sectarian spirit dis.
played in politics, he said it was i'm
possible to see France thus torn by
factions, and devoured by political
passions, while daily the principle
OF authority was undermined, the
army weakened and the institution
upon which rested the security of
the nation shaken, without thinking
OF shat opening in the Vosges
through which an invading army
could pass" or without thinking Of

THE TRANSPORTS.
-iT Probable Movements After
Necessary Repairs are Made

The Transport Indiana got in yes
terday morning aud the Newport
will probably arrive to day. Both
vessel left Manila in fairly good
trim, out the Indiana has taken
very long time to get back. She
made The run to Yokohama in four
teen days and there she coaled,
From Yokohama to San Francisco
she took twenty-five days, or nearly
fortnight longer than the Mail
steamers. A slight break in her
machinery was the cause of the de.
lay The Newport is only twenty
seven days out from Manila but she
called at Kobe aud sailed again on
September 22nd, so she should be
here at any hour now.
The Senator will come off the
Union Iron Works drydock to day
and the Valencia will take her place.
The Ohio will go on the Union Iron
Works drydock to day also and as
soon as she has been overh auled the
lndiaua will take her place. The
latte? vessel went direct TO the quar-
antine station and will be fumiga,ei
before she goes on the drydock. The
Newport Will follow The Valencia at
the Union Iron Works and an effort
will be made to get all five vessels
away next week. If they can be
fitted out by Monday, they will
leave in bunch. If not, the Senator
will sail next Sunday and the others
will follow as they are got ready.
The cruiser Philadelphia is back
at her old anchorage off Folsom
street wharf. She went down to
Honolulu in the good time OF six
days nineI cen hours, but as there
was no hurry to get home the re-
turn run occupied nine days nine
teen hours. During the first part of
the voyage she was delayed by
strong head winds. Early yesterday
morning Rear. Admiral Miller came
ashore and on his return to the
cruiser will turn her over to Commo-
dore Kautz, who will succeed him in
command OF the Pacific station.
Admiral Miller will go on the re-
tired list by operation OF law early
next month. He has been more
than forty years in active service
and has commanded in all parts of
the world. He has been a member
Of the faculty at Annapolis and
served with distinction throughout
the civil war, and has therefore seen
the evolution OF the war ship from
the wooden frigate Of Farragut's
time, through the iropclsd to the
steel structure of to-day. He has
served Uncle Sam in all capacities
and his faithful service Of forty years
practically ended when he upfurled
Old Glory to the Hawaiian breeze.
The Philadelphia will probably
remain in the stream for couple of
days and will then go to Mare Isl
and for an overhauling.
The order assigning troops to the
Senator will be issued from depart
ment headquarters morrow or
next day. The Valencia will sail
next week and possibly the Ohio, if
she can be got ready, but there are
number Of alterations to be made in
her, The Indiana and the Newport
will hardly get away next week, al
though there is bare possibility Of
their doing SO. General Merriam
was informed yesterday that the
Transport Peru sailed from Manila
on Saturdays. r. Call, DOT. IOh.

Wei made every effort 10 induce the four
Zines TO come to some agreement but ne
could DO practically nothing The North
western said that 1t could not take off its
last train. for the reason that the train
which VIII start or Sunday will give Il
daylight service between Chicago and

hngton threw all the responsibility OF the
hsht on the shoulders OF the Northwest
ern, and said that II had not now. nor
had X al any time, the desire TO provoke
any trouble. but 1t was forced to put on
fast train by the action Of the North

ing concluded the announcement was
mace by placard III the windows Of the
Afcnison ticket Office that tickets to Dem

The Rock Island took a similar action
and In d few minutes both the Northwest
ern and The Burlington had met the rate
and the fight was now on in earnest. The
Rock Island and the Atchison are now in
the same position as before they reduced
their rates. They are selling tickets a.
the same rate as the Northwestern and
Burlington, and those roads viii make

former are capable OF making. 1t
is not yet settled whether any
further reductions viii be made

roads say that they Will not take off their
trains and that they viii meet any re-
auctions that are made by the Atchison
and Rock Island.
The other roads interested in the fight
are feeling very aggrieved AZ the four
fighters, and say they will be compelled
to meet the reduced rates TO Omaha and
Kansas City without chance 10 get any
thing out OF it. The reduction of s. be-
tween Chicago and Denver will certainly
pull down the rate between Chicago and
Omaha by s.. and between Omaha and

make these reductions at the same time
as they made the cut in the rate between

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND'S LANDS.
Commissioner Decides That He Can
Make Title to Some Of Them

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-Cimmissioner
Hermann of the general land office. today
decided the case of Archbishop Ireland in
volving the right TO about 80 GO acres of
land in the ST. Cloud land district, Mime
sofa
With view 10 colonization and other
purposes the archbishop entered into two
contracts with the ST. Paul Minneapolis
n Manitoba Railroad Company, within
whose limits the lands lay. for It's DISPOSE
ton. These contracts were dated July II,
1850, and March 30. 1888. Subsequently II
was determined that the land was not
properly conveyable 10 the railroad and
the question arose whether the archbishop
under the agreement with the company
could become the purchaser OF the lands,
on which many persons had settled. The
commissioner decided that under the
agreement Of 1880. in which about 5000
acres are involved. the archbishop cannot
become the purchaser. as he was simply
the agent Of the company in disposing OF
the lands. for which he received a con-
Sidcration. The settlers now on those
lands can acquire patent under the land
laws at the price Of sl.25 per acre or under
certain conditions may take out homestead
rights Under the agreement OF 1873 the
commissioner decided that the archbishop
has the right 70 purchase the lands. These
he will have TO pay for at the rate OF 81 %
per acre.

WASHINGTON, Feb. i.-When the cable
as TO the prospective quarantine Of AmerI-
can horses was shown 10 Chairman Hit.
OF the house foreign affairs committee. ne
said this move was clearly a part Of the
general movement toward exclusions. as
shown by the recent action against Ameri-

tee Adams Of Pennsylvania. said that the
dispatch suggested that IL was time to dis
cover haciIii In German wines. and II
would be desirable also 10 determine as
10 the sanitary character OF the process OF
making German sugar sent TO the United

Mr.. Cousins OF Iowa. another member OF

"our state department. should give dis
tinct notice that If there f. any desire to
stop trade with Us this should be done in
a straightforward way. and not by sndi-
rcctiy attacking our products on sanitary
grounds"
Chairman Dingiey. Of the ways and
msans committee. said this was IN line
with The German action on American fruit.
Quarantine was not an absolute prohibit
ton. however. and It remained to be seen
whether a quarantine 50 vigorous as TO be
. prohibition would be put In force.
