The four great powers, Great

have given the Sultan the cut direct
and have refused to allow him to
exercise sovereignty in Crete, which
he still claims as part of his do
minions. The Sultan is not allowed
to maintain q single garrison in the
island, and the Turkish troops are to
leave the country after the manner
of a defeated army. The united
action of the powers would seem to
indicate a determination to dismem
Der the Ottoman empire and de
throne the Sultan, but this does not
necessarily follow. Three of the
powers-Russia, Great Britain and
France-united to destroy the Turk
ish feet at Navarino and establish
the independence Of Greece. The
powers have played fast and loose
with Turkey so long that it is
impossible to predict or determine
what their next concerted!action may
be. France, Great Britain and Italy,

alliance, joined in the Crimean war
against the fourth power, Russia, to

WOMEN IN FRENCH FICTION

Distorted POrtraitures by NoVeIlatm
of French Wives and Mothers
Those who have gathered their opin-
ions as to the real character of the ay-
erage Frenchwoman from the romantic
literature of the present century, more
especially that OF the last few years,
would necessarily bear a severe iudR.
ment, tinged with considerable
amount OF contempt. Such an opinion
would, however, be unjust and wholly
unoeserved, ms any impartial observer,
having been privileged to share French
home life, could truly tell them. The
| average Englishwoman Is very graph
lcally depicted in English novels, and a
foreigner can form fair estimate of
her merits and dement's from the de-
scriptions OF English domestic life pre-
scented by popular writer's. But Il IL
not so in France or in French literature
The real French gentlewomAn deserves
to be better understood. for she In to-
tally unlike the heroines of modern nov
els, whose writers know about as much
of aristOcratic life rs the author of The
Lady Flabella" in Nicholas Nickleby."
The pictures presented in Octave FeuiI-
let's writings are perhaps the truest to
nature AK il Is seen in some melancholy
cases, but he himself certainly would
have been ready to admit that the wom-
en- he met in daily life had nothing I'm
common with his morbid heroinea. Az
he belonged to n good old family OF
the upper bourgeoise. he had better OPP
portunities of knowing the society
which he depicted 30 powerfully in his
novels Of fashionable life than have the
upstairs who describe salons OF which
they have never crossed the threshold.
But even in the works of Feuillet, al
though the frame is accurate, the por-
traits ARE those of exceptionally dtS-
eased minds. Women like Nine. de
Champalbon in Monsieur de Cam0rs,"
or the dreadful Julia de Trecoeur may
exist in France or elsewhere, but those
who know French society will certainly -
recognize more readily w0meRs@s1ke

scribed there. Many examples might be
quoted equally sweet and pure among
he heroines of Feuillet's impnssioned
and one is convinced that
hose have been more faithfully copied
rom nature than the others.

ONE HUNDRED DROWNED BY
THE WRECKING OF A STEAMER.

Falmouth, England, Oct. 10 The
British steamer Mohsgan, Captain
Grifiths, belonging to the Atlantic
Transport Company, bound from
London to New York. has bean
wrecked in the vicinity OF Lizard
between Manassas and the Lowlands.
It is believed that about 100 per-
sons of her passengers and crew
were drowned. Only rs survivors
have reached the shore.
One lifeboat has landed sixteen
survivors of the Mohegan at Fall
mouth, and it is announced from
Port Houstock, Cornwall, that As
survivors have been landed by the
life savers of that place.
Five dead bodies have also been
recovered.
Fourteen members Of the crew OF
the Mohegan have been found alive
on the rocks.
The Mohegan was formerly the Cleo
patra of the Wilson and Furness
Leyland Line. She left London for
New York on Thursday, having on
board, SO far as can be ascertained
at present, SO passengers and crew
of lis officers and msr.
When the steamer was seen to be
in distress, lifeboats put eff from
the shore and every effort possible
was made to save the passengers.
The coast at this point is extremely
dangerous and has been the scene of
numerous wrecks.
The general opinion at present is
that the machinery of the Mohegan
became disabled during the heavy
easterly gale which was blowing
and that she ran ashore and foun
dsred.
A number of tugs which put out
from this port to the assistance of
the Mohegan were compelled to re
turn without being able to approach
the vessel, owing to the severity of
the weather prevailing.
One of the passengers landed
here, a woman, died after she was
brought ashore.
There are rumors, uneopfirmed,
as this dispatch is sent, that another
lifeboat succeeded in saving six
more persons.

Three Months.
New York, Dot. 16 --TenpysoL
Nearly gave private dinner to sew
sral men at Delmonico's and after
ward called on several Of them to
speak. Among the speakers was
General Daniel e. Sickles, formerly
minister to Spain, who declared that
the peace commission sitting In
Paris was farce; that no agreement
would be reached, and that HOSTILE
ties between Spain and the United
States would be renewed within
three months.
General Sickles said he had come
with the understanding that there
was to be NO speaking, but the sub
iect OF the war, which had been
brought up, and stirred him to
speech Thirty odd years ago, he
said, this country stood pretty well
in Europe. If Grant had said CUBA
must be free," it would have been
free. Our prestige was such that
nothing could have resisted US, but
Europe had quite forgotten the kind
of work our army and navy did in
the civil war, and a year ago our
navy was regarded abroad as hete
rogeneous mob Of foreigners, our
officers ignorant, our men without
discipline.
"That was the opinion in Paris,
said the general. "It's the opinion
in Berlin, in st. Petersburg, in
Rome. am not sure about Lon
don. Since then Europe has learn
cd something. I am sorry that that
peace commission was sent to Paris.
It was q serious error. There was
only one place to make a treaty of
peace, and that was Washington. II
Spain wanted to know our terms the
place to inquire was 10 Washington.
We could have informed her by cable
what she was to do, and We should
have informed her that she was to
do it D. d. q, without any palaver

in Paris is a pure farce. It means
