FRANCE ISN'T WORRIED.
Undisturbed by the Threats of JOS

Paris, Dec. 1-Some of the newspa-
pers attach considerable Importance to
the utterances of Joseph Chamberlain
at Leicester yesterday and consider
that they show Emperor Williams visit
to England was partially political.
The majority, however, characterize
certain of Mr.. Chamberlain's declar-
atiOnS as empty threats and regard the
suggestion of an alliance between
Great Britain, the United States and
Germany as simply eccentric The
Matin observes that Mr.. Chamberlain
alludes to the alliance as an accom-
plished fact, and as being his work and
''seizes on the opportunity to address
threats to France, which leave US as
unmOVed as does the famous prospect
of a new triple alliance"
London, Dec. with few excep-
lions, the afternoon newspapers dis
sent from Mr. Chamberlains Anglo
Saxon Teutonic alliance speech at
Leicester yesterday. The Pail Mall
Gazette lays stress on the strong anti
German prejudice in Great Britain and
declares bIuntly that Mr. Chamberlain
had better have kept silent.
The Westminster Gazette takes the
same line, believing Mr.. Chamberlain
did not represent government opinion
and pointing out how offensive the
speech tends towards France.
The Globe maintains it is impossible
for Germany to give a, Quid pro quo for
the responsibilities which would accrue
to Great Britain by such an alliance.
The Evening Standard says Mr..
Chamberlain referred to no alliance by
treaties.
The St. James Gazette says:
Mr.. Chamberlain simply expresses
English public opinion, which has come
to realize that with Germany and the
United States, we can work because

GIFT OF DOM PAUL.
TFrom the New York Tribune.1

Charles Fitzpatrick, the one-legged
trick bicycle rider,iS especially interest
ed in the South African war, because
he is personally acquainted with Dom
Paul Mr.. Fitzpatrick spent six months
in the Transvaal and gained consider
able knowledge of the inhabitants. He
declares with pride that he was the
first man who ever received a medal
from the sturdy president OF the little
Dutch republic.
Fitzpatrick was riding his wheel at
Johannesburg and was invited to go to
Pretoria and give an exhibition before
the school children. Many adult beers
were present at the entertainment, ana
Fitzpatrick wound up his clever per-
Torrance by shooting glass balls thrown
in the air while riding at full speed. 1t
was this that caught the fancy of the
warlike Beers, and they cheered the
performer to the echo.
Fitzpatrick was taken before Presi-
dent Kruger afterward, and they talk
ed together through an Interpreter.
Dom Paul expressed great interest in
Americans and American institutions
He asked particularly about the rail
road and postal systems of the United
States.
Fitzpatrick told Dom Paul that Amer
lea had had two of the greatest men
the world had ever produced.
who were they?" promptly asked
Dom Paul.
George Washington and Abraham
Lincoln" replied Fitzpatrick.
''Umph" grunted Dom Paul. Then
turning to the Interpreter he said:
Tell the young man that I probably
know more about the history Of George
Washington and Abraham Lincoln than
he does"
As Fitzpatrick was taking his leave
the president pulled a Transvaal SOW
ereign from his pocket and gave it to
him Then he took it back and handing
it to a Mr. Weinthal, who was present,
told him to have the following inscr1p-

African Republic. 1885,
The English neWSpa perS in Johannes
burg in commenting on the gift the
next day declared that fitzpatrick was
the most fortunate man in the Trans
wall. President Kruger had given him
a medal, and it was the first thing that
Dom Paul had given away in his life.
Fitzpatrick believes that there are no
more hOSpitable people in the world
than the Beers. He told about being
caught in a great Tainstorm while rid
ing his bicycle. He finally reached
Boer farmhouse in company with
friend. The two weary and drenched
cyclists were Immediately invited into
