Washington. d. c., Feb. 22.-The most
potent sign that the first and exciting
stage of the Maine disaster has been
passed was the fact that not IA single
cablcGram was received over night or this
morning at the navy department relating
in any manner to that event. In fact
the only telegram received since yes
tcrday afternoon was one that came from
Admiral Sicard at Key West asking
whether certain pieces of metal intended
to effect repairs to the torpedo boat Por-
ter had been shipped. These castings
were to replace propeller strut and the
department notified the admiral that
these had been shipped from HerreShoff $,
the builders, at Bristol. r. l.. on the 9th

As this was legal holiday very few peo-

London, Feb. 22.-The Marquis of
Salisbury in the House of Lords today
said:
My Lords: Before moving the ad
journment perhaps it would be convenient
that | should read telegram from Sir
Edward Monson. the British ambassador
at Paris, with reference to matters which
have excited some attentions:
Il placed i'll the hands of NJ. Hanotaux
tthe French minister for foreign affairs
as soon rs | could obtain an interview. a
note drawing attention to the report pub
liShed this morning of a French advance
into SohOtO. | said that if the report
was correct the news must be regarded as
of very serious character.
M. IanotauX replied that he had no
knowledge of any such proceeding and
that if anything of the kind had occurred
it must have been done not only without
the orders of the French government but
against their wishes and instructions, as
they had no desire to approach Sokoto.
He said he did not believe the news was
true and he has since communicated to
me the assurance that there are no
French troops in that region"
The reading of the dispatch was greeted
with cheers.

SUSPENDS A CLAUSE.
Commerce Commission Aids Rail-
ways in Fighting Canadian
Pacific,

Washington, u. G., Feb. 22-The in-
terstate commerce commission has sus-
pended tie operation of the long and
short-haul clause of tho interstate COM
merce act in favor of railroad lines in
the United States in competition with
the Canadian Pacific railroad as to pas
sengers between points in the province
of Manitoba and contiguous territory
and points upon the Detroit a 81 st. Clair
rivers and easterly thereof in the domin-
ion of Canada and in that portion OF
the New England states reached direct
ly by the rails of the Grand T-unk rail-
way. 1t is understood that the Canadian
Pacific road is now materially cutting
passenger rates not only between New
England and Manitoba points. but to
st. Paul and the Pacific coast. In view
of this fact it is said that the American
roads tomorrow will ask the interstate
commerce commission to extend the scope
of this relief so as to take in these adj
ditional competing points, conditions be-
ing similar.
