The Minister of Foreign Affairs NJ. Delcasse
ascending the tribune, said his policy had been
directed toward conserving the permanent gen

equally cordial relations" was all 10 the honor
Of France, and the Government could not re-
fuse its assistance knowing that II would not
be misunderstood by our friends In America.
The result he added. was "a moral advantage
for France which no failed 10 understand.
Referring to the Cars disarmament proposals.
the Minister said Frances whole sympathies
supported them, for two reasons-the good Of
humanity and respect for the nation with which
her friendship was never more complete than
now France, NJ Delcasse continued, is aware
that nothing will be asked Of her in the nature
of diminishing her strength. Relative to the
protection Of Eastern Christians Frances his
torc position had not been weakened in the
slightest degree. Unfortunately. he proceeded.
there was a reverse side 10 the picture. The
great States Of the world diner, but he be-
lieved their disputes might be settled in a spirit
Of conciiation. It was in this spirit that the
Fashoda incident was settled.
NJ Decasse then went on 10 narrate the
diplomatic incidents already known in connec-
ton with the Fashoda question and praised
General Lord Kitchener's Treatment OF Major
Marchand. the French officer who occupied
Fashoda- But. he said. in the general interest
Of France the Government decided 1t was ad.

France Is always ready 10 negotiate, being
conscious OF her rights Great changes are pre-

ROBBERY IN BROADWAY.
CAPTAIN PRICE MAKES A SERIOUS CHARGE
AGAINST THE PROPRIETOR OF THE OLD
BROADWAY GARDEN.

Simon Buttner, forty-hve years old, pro-
prietor OF the Hotel Winslow, formerly the
Broadway Garden at No. l26l Broadway and
one OF his wa ters, Arthur Sussman twenty
seven years old. arrested last night by
Captain Price and Detectives Curry and Ten-
derson. Of the West Thirtieth-st. station. on
the charge OF larceny from the person"
According 10 Captain Price the charge is
much more serious than the above technical
words imply. as II was nothing more or less
than a case of holding UP prominent citizen
with revolvers in the Hotel Winslow at ? a. IN.
Sunday and robbing him Of cash and valu-
able diamond. worth. In all, $1,000
Who the victim was the captain said last
night he could not disclose for the present, but
he gave assurance that he was man we'll
known about town and declared, moreover;
We've got Buttner dead TO rights this time"
When the two prisoners were taken 70 the
police station they were subjected to most
rigid examination, and they were searched with
great care. Captain Price personally super!n-
tended this work, and gave unusual attention
TO Buttner.
Chief Devery arrived at the station soon
after the arrests. From the haste with which
he left his carriage and entered Captain Prices
private room it was evident that he was deeply
interested and had been sent for in hurry.
with him were two well-dressed men, one OF
whom may have been the complainant
Captain Price says the robbery was one OF
the boldest ever brught TO his attention He
says the victim was covered with revolver as
he bought cigar. He was commanded TO step
back Of screen. and there one man held him
with the pistol while second took his property.
He was then ordered out OF the place and told
he would be killed II he ever came back
