A FRENCH VIEW
OF AN ALLIANCE

New York, March "A dispatch to the
Herald from Paris says: The Temps says
that Lord Charles Beresford's idea of a
uuadruple alliance appeals to the imag-
ination of many in the United States,
and then goes on:
Nothing from the other countries has
been heard. and it is doubtful if they will
view it with favor. What, however, must
be noted on one hand is that in spite of
apparent provoca tions, the United States
so unjustly susceptible with regard to
other powers, displays great patience to-
ward Germany, and on the other hand,
that in spite of certain actions in the
bay of Manila and Samoa, Germany has
no idea of entering into a struggle with
q powerful transatlantic democracy
The Temps then concludes that for
France to direct her policy with the idea
of an European coalition against the two
Anglo Saxon powers would be to enter
heedlessly into the most dangerous under
taking, and says France has not yet ar
rived at the point when she can write
down voluntarily Alsace-Lorraine in her
profit and loss column by consenting to
play the game of herocs against the lib
eral nations. which, put into plain Ian
guage, seems to mean that the Temps
counsels a rapproachment with the
United States through England rather
than fruitless coquetting with Germany

DISCOVERIES IN
REGARDTOJUP|TER

Chicago, March 2.-Prof. George w.
Hough, the astrologer at Dearborn OBJ
servatory in Evanston, has made public
a new discovery in regard to the surface
rotations of the planet Jupiter which is
completely at variance with the existing
belief. 1t is the general tenet of astrono-
mers and the statements are embodied
in the most recent text books on the
science that the surface rotation of the
planet Jupiter is similar to that OF the
sun, being quickest near the equator ana
slOweSt in the high latltudes near the
poles. In his conclusions on long rec
ord of observations, extending over twen-
ty years and which he has just completed,
Prof. HOugh announces his belief that
the surface of the planet Jupiter rotates
on it's axis in separate envelopes or
strata. Prof. Hough further discovered
in the long series Of observations that the
spots shift in longitude as well as haV-
ing a rotary movement and this also sup
ports the ring or strata theory ana
Strengthening Prof. Hough's belief OF
many years is that Jupiter is in gaseous
or plastic state.

Cure For Pneumonia

pupils, is believed to have discovered a
new serum for the cure of pneumonia.
He inocuated rabbit with the pneu-
moccus bacillus, which is generally be-
lieved to cause pneumonia, and with the
serum thus gained he inoculated mice
suffering from pneumonia. A subsequent
series of experiments showed that it was
In the red marrow of the bones that the
anti-toXine is produced and that red
marrow taken from human corpse after
death from pneumonia and used as a
serum will cure mice infected with the
disease. Accordingly, it is hoped that
this serum will have the, same satisfac-
tory results in human beings.

THE BOUNDARY

Victoria, b. c., March 2.-Miners who
have arrived here on the steamer Tees
from the north say that the Canadian
officials on the Dalton trail have seen fit
to change a boundary line to suit them

able distance into American territory,
and, according to the story which has
reached here, have planted the British
flag within seven miles of HaineS mis-
sion, the entrepot to the POrcupine dis
trict. The point to which the Canadians
have advanced will throw a big area on
the recently discovered mines of the Por-

HAVE PURCHASED
CHICAGO & ALTON

Chicago. March 2.-John j. Mitchell,
president of the Illinois Trust and Saw
ings bank, upon receiving word from
New York that majority of the stock
of the Chicago & Alton had been deposited
with the United States Trust company
and that pledges had been given for the
deposit of many more shares, gave out
the names Of the members Of the purchas-
ing syndicate. They are: George Gould,
president of the Missouri Pacific; JACOB
Schiff, chairman of the board of the Bal
timore & Ohio; James Stillman, president
of the National City bank of New York,
representing the Rockefeller holdings in
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas. and E. II.
Hartman, chairman of the board of the
Union Pacific, representing the Wander
bilt interests. Mr.. Hartman is also un-
derstOOd to represent to some extent the
Illinois Central road, which is indirectly
interested in the deal.
Beyond the expenditure of So 600 for
the Improvement of the property, gener-
ally, and another $4,000, 900 to be set aside
for the work of elevating the tracks of
the company al Chicago it is understood
that the syndicate has not yet made any
definite plans for the future management
of the road. Mr.. Blackstone will prob
ably retire from the presidency of the
ROAD ana vice 1TeSlucIl anu beItIdl
Manager Chappell may succeed him. Mr.
Bla ckstone was offered the craftsmanship
of the executive committee. but refused
it. The other officials of the road will, it
is understood. retain their present posi-
tions. Chief among the men who owned
and have sold the road were: Marshal
Field, A. c. Bartlett, A. A. Sprague and
John j. Mitchell. The price paid for the
road, counting in the bonded debt, is $75,-
sos $50.
With the cOnsummatiOn of the deal
came the report that the new owners Of
the Alton would sell its share in the
Union Depot company, owning the depot
terminals at Adams street, and would
become lessees of the Chicago Railway
Terminal company, with its passenger
station at Harrison street and Fifth ave-
nue.. The purchaser of the Atoms share
in the Union Depot company, according
to the report, will be the Pennsylvania.
The latter road wants this terminal for
it's Panhandle line. The sale of the
Alton will. it is said, have a far-reachng
effect on the railroad business of the en-
tire country. continental trains
running from tdewater to tidewater
without change and without breaking up,
even at Chicago or St. Louis, are now a
