The ANGLO FRENCH AGREEMENT.
A semiofficial note has been issued in
Paris explaining the effect oil the new
agreement between England and France
in regard to the Soudan. It points out
that the question OF the Middle Nile and
that Of EgS pit proper remains untouched,
and that whilst France abdndOns the
portion Of the Bahr el Ghazel which it
had occupied, il does so under condi-
tions which allows the French to attain
the essential aim of their policy in those
regions-access to the Nile. Whilst
satisfaction is felt by the French at the
settlement OF the question, there is a
general feeling that France has made
considerable sacrifices, which enttle
her to favorable consideration when
other questions that may arise between
the two countries come to be considered.

This convention contains encroach.
ments both on German interests near
Lake Chad, and on Germany's rights as
laid down by the treaties in the Sultanate
Of Gandu. Hence it's necessary for the
German Government to protest to the
London and Paris Cabinets against the
infringement OF German rights before
the agreement is sanctioned by the
Parliaments. Both the general meeting
of the German Colonial Society at
Dantzic and-the Colonial Council have
already drawn up such a protest. In
view Of Germanv's friendly relations
With the two powers, especially to Eng
land, we are convinced that the German
claim will be taken into account. It is
also desirable that the German and
British Governments should begin the
final delimitation OF German Togo and
the partition Of the neutral zone.

A Spring Yielding Chicken soup

There is in the State OF Nevada
a natural phenomenon, which,
prior to investigation, might inn
press one as belonging IN more
likelihood to the realm Of fiction
than to the realm Of fast 1t is a
spring Of calcareous deposits,
located near Elko, which Yields at
first hand from mother earth what
the Inhabitants Of the town re-
gard as better quality Of chicken
soup than can be concocted by any
Of the "chefs" Of the various hotels
along the line of the neighboring
Southern PacIHc Railway. OF
course, this judgment Of the Elko-
ties is not infallible, as what would
pass for terrapin and champagne
with them might impress one not
native born as salt cod and hard
tack. 1t all depends upon how
generous the goddess of civlliza-
ton has been to them in her
distribution of an epicurean
taste. These springs have been
known to the Indians in that Vicin-
ity for more than hundred years;
and long before the whites came
to this country, the Indians were
in the habit Of taking sick members
Of their tribes there, where they
pitched their tents and remained
to drink the waters and bathe in
them until they were cured. In
the early days the Washoes and
Piutes had many a battle for the
possession Of the springs, until it
presently dawned upon them that
the fights which took place there
resulted in death to more Indians
than were cured by its waters.
Tradition has it thar they held a
council oil war somewhere between
1880 and IS4o, signed treaty OF
peace, and agreed to mutually
share the benefits of the sanitar-
ium. In 1868, the whites first be-
came aware of the existence OF the
spring when it was discovered by
Charles Lautenschlager, who was
prospecting for gold in that vicin-
itY. A few years afterwards, John
Kropper made legal location OF
the place, taking up forty acres,
which he sold to Won Alstine,
who in turn transferred them to
its present proprietor, who has
remained in possession for the last
twenty seven years, The springs
originally oozed out OF the top of
two rocky cones, but since tunnels
were run into the side at a depth
OF about six feet, the springs flow
several thousand gallons a day.
The one known as the Soup Spring
is about two hundred yards from
the hotel, aud the waters contain
sulphur, magnesia, iron and soda,
with some copper. AS 'the water
runs out it is dipped up by tourists
in glasses and little pepper and
salt added. The taste is then so
much like chicken broth that it
would easily pass for it if placed
upon a hotel table. In order to
test this proposition more thor
oughly, the proprietor Of the hotel
once served some OF the water to
his guests as chicken broth, and no
complaint was heard. There is no
denying the fact that the chicken
flavor is sufficiently pronounced
to entitle it to the name it bears.
