FRANCE WINS A FRIEND
AN ADVANTAGEOUS COMMERCIAL
TREATY CONCLUDED WITH ITALY.
May Cause a Realignment OF Euro
pean POvers-SeriOus Plague Riot
in Northern India.

PARIS, Nov. 21.-A commercial treaty has
been concluded between France and Italy,
granting mutually favored treatment ex-
cept for silk goods, which will remain sub
ject to the maximum tax. The government
introduced bill in the Chamber modifying
the wine duties favorably to Italy. The ne
gotiationS that have eliminated in these ar
rengements have been on foot for two years,
but nobody believed that a definite agree
ment was pending. 1t is believed the
Fashoda affair was instrumental in induc-
ing France to grant the necessary conces-
sions though it is noteworthy that the silk
duties, which caused the breaking of the
treaty in 1887, remain almost unchanged.
The negotiations have been conducted with
the utmost secrecy. The exact effect of the
concessions involved is not known yet, but
it is expected that they will have an i'm
portant political influence for the removal
of long-standing friction between the two
countries. The treaty. it is noticed was
concluded during the absence of Emperor
William from Germany, and there is much
speculation regarding its probable results
upon the European alliances.
LONDON, Nov. 2l.--Rome correspondent
of the Daily News says: THE conclusion
of the FTanco-Italian treaty came as a
thunder clap. Looking to the hitherto
the treaty may be considered the most i'm
portant international event as regards
Italy since the conclusion of the triple al
lance"

at Many Points.

at Many Points.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov 21-The first gem
eral snowstorm of the winter has prevailed
throughout the Northwest during the past
twenty-four hours and it still continues
without much abatement. The snow has
been accompanied by a high wind, reaching
in many places the proportions of a genuine
blizzard. The fall of snow has not been
great, but the wind has drifted it badly and
many places report considerable delay to
railroad traffic Specials from various points
in North and South Dakota, Minnesota,
Wisconsin and northern Iowa report the
sorm still prevailing and local business i'm
peded The weather observer here predicts
that the storm will continue tonight and
tomorrow and will be followed by a cold
wave. Battleford and Calgary, in the British
Northwest, report Temperatures of "a and 26
degrees below zero and other places say
zero weather is prevailing. Locally the
storm has been quite severe. About three
inches of snow has fallen since morning and
e-mile-an-hour gale has drifted
1t badly, causing delay to Street-car traffic.
The mercury is rapidly falling and the
weather observer believes it Will go to 10

little delay
The storm was especially severe on Lake

ment.
When the fire was at its height the front
wall, which rose to a height of six and a
half stories on a narrow street in which
the fremen were at work, fell. There was
no warning, and it had not appeared that
the wall was weakened. Seven men were
buried in the wreck, all of whom were
more or less injured. A little later, after
the fire had been got under control, Burke,
Donohue and Kelley were at work on the
first floor of the building when it collapsed.
The men were thrown into the basement
among barrels of oil, where the mass or
wreckage came down over them. Rescuers
freed them as quickly as possible and sent
them to the hospital.

BUDA-PESTH, Nov. 21.-In the lower
house of the Hungarian Diet, to-day, the OPP
position again raised the question of the
Hentzi monument, erected to the memory
of the Austrian general Hentzi and 418 SOL
diers, who fell while defending the fortress
against the Hungarians in 1S49. The matter
was brought up to obstruct the business of

Tense Honved), imputing lack of honor to
the National party, excited indignant de

ual attempts to resume business, disorderly
and violent scenes being inceSsant, the seS-
sion was again suspended. At 10 o'clock
this evening further attempt to resume led
to similar uproar. In the meantime the

This is a. startling record. Mortality
from disease reached its maximum in the
camps of our civil war only at the end Of
ten months, IL we count from July, 1851 or
at the end of twelve months If we count
from May, 1861, when 1856 men had been
buried out of every thousand of strength
present, or. to put 1t otherwise, the maxi
mum monthly mortality was reached only
after ten or twelve months of suffering,
during six of which the mortality was
greater than that of the disease which did
so much harm in August last In that
month the country became excited over the
historic utterances of yellow journalism,
with 4.08 deaths per thousand. and the
morale of the army became broken by max

history of armies had men suffered from
disease as he and his companions had suf-
fered. Yet thirty-seven years ago the flower

IN MISSOURI AND KANSAS.
Rain, Sleet, Snow and n slump in ths
Thermometer.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. A.-A severe
storm prevails throughout western and
northern Missouri and the State of Kansas.
Very mild weather on Sunday was followed
by rain which turned into sleet early this
morning with an unusually sudden fall in
temperature and the sleet has been followed
by snow, which is being driven before a
strong wind from the northwest. At many
points in the two States the mercury has
fallen from so to 60 degrees in twenty-four
hours. Reports received tonight indicate
an average temperature of 10 to Is degrees
above zero, but the indications are for
colder weather. The storm of sleet pros
trated telegraph wires in ali directions The
drifting snow has impeded every traffic, but
there has been no serious blockade. Atchi-
son reports that two trains are snow-bound
in Kansas on the Central branch of the Mis-
souri, Pacific. In Kansas City, Kan, two
lines of electric street-railway have been
forced to suspend operations.
Secretary Coburn of the Kansas Board of
Agriculture, is authority for the statement
that, while the storm will cause suffering
among the cattle on the ranges, there will
be no loss from freezing unless the storm
becomes much more severe.

Street Traffic Practically Suspended
ut Omaha All Yesterday.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. A.-Nebraska has
been in the grip of a norther all day. For
twenty-four hours strong wind from the
northwest has swept the State and during
the most of that time it has driven a fine
snow ahead of it. This snow has been too
light and dry to drift badly and consequent
~ the country roads are in no danger Of
a blockade. Considerable loss of stock, both
cattle and sheep, is feared, owing to the
fact that many thousands of herds have
been brought in from the south for feed
ing and have not yet had time to become
sufficiently acelimated to withstand the
stress of the storm.
Omaha has had the worst of the storm up
to date, so far as has been learned. Street
traffic has practically been suspended here
all day. The street-car lines have had d
hard struggle TO keep open and two of them
have succumbed, the others being able to
run cars at irregular intervals.
