Secretary Hay Declares False Report
of n Secret Alliance Between
England and United States.

Columbus, O., Sept. 13.-In letter to
Chairman Dick, of the republican state
executive committee, Hon. John Hay,
secretary of state, makes this emphatic
statement regarding the alleged secret
alliance between England and the
United States:
There is no alliance with England, nor
with any other power under heaven, except
those known and published to the world
the treaties of ordinary international
friendship for purposes of business and
commerce. No treaty other than these
exists; none is in contemplation. 1t has
never entered into the mind of the pres
ident nor of any member of the govern
ment to forsake, under any inducement
the wise precept and example of the
fathers, which forbade entangling alliances
with European powers

than he spent in any department of
state. The offices were sold, canals and
roads were in ruins. whole provinces de-
serted, whole masses of peasant
slaves starving or feeding upon nettles
and pulse.
1t was in 1889 that the king paid
heed to the clamor of the tradesmen
and the serfs for reform. Then for the
first time in $50 years did the Bourbon
permit the advisory council to meet.
Twelve hundred deputies of the three
estates were there to devise means to
save bankrupt France. Voting was by
orders or estates, and two orders vot-
ing together formed a majority. The
mobiles and clergy had always stood
together as against the commons,
but the commons outnumbering
the other two orders, now de-
manded change in the system. The
deadlock continued until July II. when
the commons, few mobiles and half
dozen of the clergy declared themselves
the national assembly and announced
they would begin the work of nation
al regeneration. The hall at the Ver-
sailles palace was closed against them,
and they went to the old>Jenniss court
and took an oath that they would
never separate until they had set the
constitution on a sure foundation" The
king threatened. Mirabeau said that
nothing but bayonets could drive them
away, and the assembly voted the per-
sons of its members sacred from ar
rest, making it a capital crime to mo-
lest them. The king built batteries and
brought regiments to Versailles. The
intelligence caused Paris to rise, and
the German and Swiss troops, the kings
guards, were placed in the principal
streets and squares. The populace held
meetings and marched, and the troops
killed a few, among them two
of the French or city guard. The
guards mutinied, and fired on
the German regiment. All the
French soldiers refused to fire on the
populace and the foreign troops fol-
lowed their example a few hours later.
The criminal classes came from their
haunts. and the riot, with its terrors,
was unbridled A committee was or
ganized, created the national guard
from the commune, armed them with
pixies, guns, old cannon and clubs. The
French guards joined in the uprising.
The army now numbered $4,000 men.
The symbol of tyranny, the Bastile, was
captured and the commanders head
raised on pike. The king temporized,
recognized the Paris committee as the
commune, and granted it extraordi-
nary powers, who made La Fayette
commander Of the national guard. The
provinces, fired by the result in Paris,
arose. branches of the national guard
being everywhere organized.
Austria and Prussia declared their in
tention of restoring the old order in
1892. and the assembly declared war.

ORANGE was not always the vol

10 RANCE was not always the vol
cano it is to-day and has been
u for the past century and more.
For more than century it has been
fighting for that liberty that has come
to other peoples, but its battle has been
longer and fiercer than has the same
battle in other nations. How long it
will be before France energies triumph
ant from the conflict only history will
tell.
When England was in the throes of
civil and religious war France looked
on with horror. Times changed sud-
denly. England, emerging strong and
stable. viewed the widest riot of the
widest passions in the country that
had regarded her so contemptuously
for her disorders. 1t was the struggle
for liberty in England. 1t was the be-
ginning of the struggle for liberty in
France which has convulsed civiliZa-
ton and under the mastery genius of
Napoleon placed all Europe in his
shackles. Empires rose and fell, king
doms were swept into dust, boundaries
were wiped out, countries absorbed,
whole peoples obliterated. Such has
been the Frenchman's ferocious strug-
gle for liberty, the most fascinating
page in all history.
The country was a despotism. The
Bourbon kings had discontinued the
sittings of the advisory council or ra-
,ional assembly more than $50 years
before. There were no checks on the
crown who could impose taxes, impris-
on without redress, interfere with the
courts of justice, such as they We're.
The kings ordered wholesale massacres,
ruthless deportations, sent thousands
to the galleys for life, robbed the people
in the name of loans, making picture
of which the populace but painted a
copy in the reign of terror. Louis XIV.

Badly Burned.

A man who was jealous of her atten-

at Gusta Gould, a colored woman, in
Minneapolis. 1t struck her in the back

clothes, and in a second she was ablaze.
The woman was terribly frightened

ceeded in putting out the fire. How
ever, the woman was badly burned
about the upper part of the body.

Not in the Market.

1t is impossible to buy any prairie
chickens, quail, wild duck or other like
to law passed by the last legislature
which places an embargo on the sell
ing or having for sale such birds. The
law is most stringent in its provisions
and is being rigidly enforced. 1t makes
no difference whether the game is
killed without the state or not, its sale
is prohibited just the same; and the
only way that it can be legally pur-
chased is from the state game and fish
commission, after seizure. Even then
the birds may not be resold, but must
be used by the original purchaser.

JEALOUSY AMONG TIGERS.
The Green Eyed Monster Frequently Re
Isponsible For Mishaps to Animal
Trainers.

Philadelphia, Oct. 10.-The almost
human intelligence with which some
animals seem to be endowed, when It
becomes a question OF paying obedi-
ence to words Of command, is best ex-
emplifed by little occurrence in the
rear Of the Hagenback arena yesterday
Madame Louise Marreli, the famous
lion tanner, stood leaning against the
railing OF a cage, talking entertain
ingly about her work, while her right
hand was employed caressing one OF
the tigers behind the bars Suddenly
there came a tremendous roar from the
rear end OF the cage, and a huge Ben
gal tiger rushed forward.
"Ze fellows ez jealouz," Madame
Morreli remarked, without removing
her hand from between the bars; "he
do not like pet dez one" referring to
the other animal. "Jealouz, you askg
certainly, re animals are jealouz, just
like men and women are jealouz," with
a smile such as the women Of France
know how to produce.
Continuing, Madame Morreli told her
listeners that jealousy was a pronounc-
ed trait among lions and tigers. and
that the mischief which befalls train
ers now and then is frequently caused
by the green eyed monster" in the
animal soul. So. after letting the 1eal'
GUS tiger wait a while, she removed ker
hand from the other fellow and gave
the disgruntled animal taste Of her
