FRANCO-GERMAN ALLIANCE
Talk of An Entente Between the Hered-
 itary Enemies.

Paris, January 1T.-Ever since the much discussed conference in Berlin on January between Emperor William and Marquis De Noailles French ambassador to Ger many, a section of the French press has been actively discussing the probability of a Franco-German alliance. The idea is meeting with approval in certain A Irters, now that Frenchmen have come to regard England rather than Germany as the na- tional enemy
 Ernest Daudet, the novelist, is an earnest advocate Of such an entente, which the courier Du Soir thinks is quite possible"
 Le Soir publishes today some alleged com versations of the late Prince Bismarck dur ing the closing years of his life, according to which his dream was to found a colonial empire. Fearing, however, that this would alarm British interests he determined to force France into colonial enterprises, hoping thereby to embroi her with Great Britain and to drive her into the army of Germany and Russia This new triple al- lance Bismarck believed would force Eng land to draw back and to allow Germany to establish colonies in complete security.
 This exposition of Bismarkian policy, says La Soir, explains the whole secret of the present attitude of Germany.

|IS TOTAL STRENGTH IS 112
The Democrats Are United on George
 Il. JenkS.
CHRIS MAeEE IMPORTANT FACTOR
Although He Did Not Receive Single Vote Yesterday, He Has Caused Uneasiness in the Camp
 of the Quayites.

Harrisburg, Pa, January 1.-The end of the first days fight in the battle for United States senator leaves the result very much in doubt. It is Senator Quay against the field, and the indications are that there will be a deadlock lasting some days at least. The republicans arc divided between Mir. Quay and eight "favorite sons' and the democrats are united on George A. Jenks. The senate and house voted separately this afternoon and will take ballot tomorrow in joint session. There was no election, and should the ballot show no election tomorrow the balloting will continue daily until a se- lection is made. Senator Quay's total strength in both houses was 112 votes, six teen less than the number necessary to elect on joint ballot, assuming that the full membership of 254 is present, condition that does not seem possible, as there are several on the sick list now.
 Was No Surprise
 The result of the vote for senator was no surprise to those familiar with the sit uation. It was conceded that there would be no election today and not many people think there will be one tomorrow. The first ballot shows that there is practically no break in the line of either of the republican factions.
 The essence of the situation is that so long as the ant-Quay republicans are united and the democrats vote for Jenks, Senator Quay cannot be reelected. His friends are confident, however, that he will steadily gain votes after tomorrow, while the leaders of the other side are just as confident that he has reached the high water mark.
 The anti Quay republican senators and members have agreed to meet daily until the fight is settled. They are divided on Congressnen DalzeIf, s5t6Tea and other inde- pendent republicans. Their leaders say it is too early to concentrate on one candidate against Senator Quay. There does not seem to be any prospect of a combination between the anti-Quay republicans and the democrats on the senatorship. Although not single vote was cast in either house for Senator Chris l.. Magee, of Pittsburg, he is regarded as a most important factor in the contest Many of Senator Magee's S friends in both factions are predicting that their favorite will be chosen to succeed Senator Quay in the event of it being dem onstrated that the latter cannot ,"'-
 .rrates Executive Session.
 Washington, January 1.-The executive session of the senate today was devoted to the discussion of the advancement of Ad mrals Sampson and Schey and other naval officers because of gallant conduct in bat tie over those officers who were not actively engaged in the war. The proceedings were based upon resolution of inquiry which Senator Butler introduced, asking the pres ident to supply the senate with his reasons for the promotion of these officers. This resolution was opposed by Senator Chandt Ter and other members of the naval com mittee and the matter went over until the return of Senator Hale, chairman of the committee.

Expressed Desire to Leave the Sa-

Madrid, January 17.-At the cabinet coun- cil today Senor Puigceiver minister of finance, expressed desire to resign his portfolio but he ultimately yielded to the persuasion of Senor Sagasta, the premier, who represented the necessity of the min istry appearing intact before the cortes.
 No date has yet been fixed for the meet ing of the cortes. but it will probably come together two days after the ratification of the treaty by the United States senate. This Is the course advocated by Duke AL modovar De Rios, minister for foreign af- fairs, on the ground that the senate may yet introduce qualifications into the treaty in the articles dealing with the Philip pines"
 ahe foreign minister emphatically denied that Great Britain has sent note 10 Spain regarding the interpretation of the treaty of Utrecht and Gibraltar.

George Dixon Knocks Out Pluto of
 South Africa.

New York, January 17-Once more Dixon proved his cleverness and hard hitting abil- ity tonight at the Lenox Athletic club, where he met and defeated young Pluto, of South Africa. in the tenth round of what was to have been twenty-round bout.
 The Knockout came in the shape of 8 loft sy'ne in the stomach, which crushed inc wind out of the latest arrival among the pugilistic fraternity in this country Pluto was heralded as a world-beater by his friends, but although he is very clever in defensive work and undoubtedly game he was never dangerous.

SHOT BY THEIR SOLDIERS.
Promoters of Lieut.. Col. Klobb's
Massacre Pay the Penalty.

PARIS, Oct. 1S.-The Minister of the
Colonies, M. de Crais, has received an
official dispatch announcing that Cap
tain VOulet and Captain Chanoine, of
the outlawed French expedition in the
Soudan, whose members recently mas
sacred most of the members of the ex-
pedition under Lieutenant Colonel
Klobb, sent to arrest those officers on
charges of cruelty and insubordination
have been shot by their own men.
A commemorative service was held
to-day in honor of Lieutenant Colonel
Klobb at the Church of St. Clotilde,
President Loubet and all the members
Loubet was present.
The Colonial Office has received the
following dispatch from Lieutenant
Pellier, one of the officers of the YOU
let-Chanoine expedition, now in COM
mand of Voulets men:
Captain Voulet alone, who with 100
Tirailleurs, on July 14th, marched
against Lieutenant Colonel Klobb, was
responsible for the massacre. He told
his comrades on his return what he
had done and declared that he intend
ed to revolt and to form an independent
State.
''Only Captain Chanoine decided to
accompany him with some natives. On
July 10th the Tirailleurs mutinied and
shot Captain Chanoine. Captain YOU
let fed, but on July 18th tried to rejoin
the expedition, but he was shot by
sentry. The Tirailleurs then joined
expedition, myself commanding, con-
tinued the mission and punished the
murderers of Captain Cassemejourx,
whose body was recovered"

THE POOR WHITES.
DR.. Finks Tells of the Odd Crack
ers" of the South.

Rev. D. E. Finks' illustrated lecture,
'The Highlanders of the South" drew
a good-sized audience to the Westmin-
ster Presbyterian Church last night.
The lecture was instructive, both in
showing the traits, habits and charac-
teristics of the people of the North
Carolina mountains, and in explaining
what has been done by the home mis-
sions toward lifting them up and set
ting them on their feet.
The life led by the poor whites" in
the hill country was vividly portrayed
both by the stereopticon and orally by
the speaker. Rev. Mr.. Finks, while
not magnetic talker, had something
to say, and that he made a close study
of his subject while visiting the North
Carolina missions, was evident.
The lecturer showed nearly a hun
dred views representing groups and
families of the poor and ignorant
classes who reside in the vicinity of
Asheville, the dwellings they occupy,
the beauty of their mountains, wales
and streams, and the missions which
have been founded and the schools
which have been established for the
moral and intellectual improvement of
the people of that part of the South.
He closed with a strong appeal to his
auditors to ever do all possible in ad-
vancing the good work, until education
shall have undone the work of a cen
tury of poverty and want.
