REPLY TO FRENCH NOTE.

Answer Finally Decided Upon at Cab
met Meeting.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The cabinet
meeting, which lasted two and half
hours, was devoted exclusively to the
Chinese situation. The answer of this
government to the French note practi-
cally was decided upon and will be put
in form for transmission to the French
government very soon. Its substance
was not made public and will not be
until it is delivered to the French min
lister for transmission to, his govern
ment.
Neither automatically nor from a
military point of view has there been
any change in the Chinese situation
here since the reception of the French
note. It Is conceded that the failure OF
the effort to induce the Chinese court
to return to Picking has done much to
retard the peace negotiations although
these are still possible if the authority
conferred upon Ii Hung Chang and
Prince Ching is sufficient.

OCEANICS NARROW ESCAPE.

Goes Aground on the Irish Coast but IL
safely Floated.
NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-A special cable
dispatch from Queenstown to The
Evening World says:
The giant White Star liner Oceanic,
which arrived here during the day. had
narrow escape from shipwreck off the
coast of Ireland.
While approaching the coast and try
ing to pick Up the Fastnet light, what
appeared to be fog bank suddenly
lifted and showed land dead ahead.
The breakers could be plainly seen
crashing on the rocks, and the vessel
touched bottom, but Captain Cameron
stopped his engines, reversed them and
backed into deep water without the
steamship being injured.
1t was only owing to the care of the
captain that terrible disaster was
averted. The stopping of the engines
shook up and awoke every body. Half
a minute after the engines were re-
versed, but before the Oceanic was
stopped, she struck with grinding,
grating noise. She then quickly
swung clear.

Porto Rican Trade Grows.

Four months operations Of the Porto

BERLIN, Oct. l0.-The somewhat OPP
timistic view of the Chinese situation
which prevailed in Germany last week
has been unfavorably affected by the
reports that the Chinese court has re-
solved to settle permanently at ST Ngan
Flu, capital of the province of Shen 81.
This The Berliner Tageblatt regards as
'indisputable evidence that the Chi
nese court is as anti-foreign as ever"

Peking," j. says, ''makes farce of the
proposed peace negotiations inasmuch
as the Chinese government could annul
the whole procedure at any moment by
revoking the credentials OF Prince
Ching and Ii Hung Chang"

Tells Way the Imperial Family Fears to
Return to Picking.
WASHINGTON, Oct. l0.-The Chinese
minister said during the day that if the
powers regarded it as essential that the
emperor or empress dowager should re-
turn to Picking he was quite confident
this could be brought about, first by
giving positive assurances for the per-
sonal safety of their majesties and then
as plain evidence Of this assurance.
directing that the bulk of the allie,
forces now at Peking be withdrawn to
Tien Tsin, Yang Tsun or some other
point, leaving only few hundred
troops at Picking as guard.
~ am sorry as any one can be that
their majesties do not see their way
clear to return to Peking," said Mr..
WI, ''but under the circumstances is it
not natural that they should take this
course? They have been brought up in
extreme seclusiveness in Pekins, with,
out
knowledge of the Outside World
and of the customs of foreigners.
When they withdrew the allied forces
occupied the city. 1t has been divided
into districts to be patrolled and man
aged. 1t is said that the allied troops
have marched through the imperial
palace. These steps must naturally
have produced profound effect on the
imperial family. 1t is said that the
forces are being reduced to legation
guards, but ii each legation guard num-
bers about 1900 men, that makes an
aggregate force of 10000 men for the
eight powers, or if each quota is net
full, say the aggregate force is about
10000 men. An army of 10000 men
is very considerable force n any city.
Consider the influence that an army of
10000 men would exert if stationed
here in Washington. While am
extremely sorry that their males
ties do not return to Peking, it
does not seem surprising in the exist
ing circumstances that they should not
want to return

comes from Merrimac that 2-story
frame building inhabited by a family
was seen floating down the Wisconsin
river at that place. No communities

rent made it impossible to render any
assistance. Where the house came
from is unknown but it is supposed
that high water washed the building
from its foundation and carried it

Mississippi and Black Rivers Causing

LA CROSSE. Wis, Oct. 10.-The Mis-.
sissippi river is still rising, having gone
up about foot since Monday, but it is
believed that the big rise is over and
that after going another foot the river
will remain stationary for few days
and then BEGIN to fall Reports re-
ceived by local umbermen say that the
Black and Chippewa rivers are reced-
ing and danger is over.
The overflow of the Mississippi and
Black rivers on to the lowlands sur
rounding La Crosse has already done
considerable damage to farmers and
others and if the water rises much
more, the people living along some of
the lowlands will be forced to leave
their homes as they did two years ago.

NEW ENGINES FOR
 SOUTHERN RAILWAY
Eighteen for the Birmingham Division Wiil Handle 40 Per Cent More
 Tonnage Than Old Ones

The Birmingham division of the Southern Railway has recently received seven new consolidated engines, and eleven others have been ordered for the division. The heavy business on this division, which is constantly increasing made it necessary to increase the rolling stock, and these engines are part of the additional equip ment to be furnished.
 The new engines are the largest ever used on this division of the Southern Railway, and have a capacity to handle 40 per cent. more tonnage than any of the old engines. They have a working steam pressure of 200 pounds, and weigh 16O,000 pounds each The largest of the old engines weigh only IT. GOO pounds
 Nine of the new engines were made by the Richmond Locomotive Works and nine by the Pittsburg Locomotive Works.
 Superintendent Frazer of the Southern said yesterday that the business on the Birmingham division had grown to such proportions that the new engines were ab- solutely necessary.

BEN EVANS DEATH DECLARED LAWFUL By the Coroner's Jury-Say Officer DiSheron Was
 JusIifabIe.

An inquest was held by the Coroner yes- terday to investigate the death of Ben Evans, the negro who was shot by Officer Disheroon Saturday night. A jury was empaneled and after hearing considerable evidence rendered verdict to the effect that Mir Dishroon was perfectly justifia- ble.
 Several witnesses, including the wife of Ben Evans, testified that when the officer went to make the arrest the negro, as quick as he saw him, suddenly stood erect and threw his hand to his hip pocket as if attempting to draw weapon. At the same time he turned toward a door which was near him. Before he could draw his hand from his pocket Officer Disheroon fred the bullet striking the negro in the thigh.
 At the time it was not thought that the wound was serious, but blood poison set in and the negro died.

THE GREAT GROWTH
 IF BIRMINGHAM
Shown in the Posloffice Re- ceipts-Increased 80 Per
 Cent in Three Years.

Postmaster Hughes has compiled the re- ceipts of the postoffice for the last quarter, which compared to the corresponding quar- ters for the last three years, show steady and remarkable growth in the net income of the postoff1ce, and the business of Bir- mingham.
 July August and September are always the dullest months in the year, yet the business for the quarter just ended shows an increase of 80 per cent during the term Dr. Hughes has been in office.
 In 1897 the net receipts for the third quar- ter, from the sale of stamps were $15,300.17; for the same period in 1898 $19,1S2.27, and in 1899, $22, 790.S5. For the quarter just ended they were $26S5s.94, or about 5000 less than being double what they were in 1897. This gives some idea of the growth of Birmingham In the last three years, and is most creditable and enviable record for Postmaster Hughes.
 The sub-postoff1ce at Dewberrys drug store corner of Twenty-first street and Second avenue, shows sales during its first week at the rate of s5000 year. Large numbers of stamps and money orders are sold and the indications are that the busi- ness will largely increase, as the public be- comes acquainted with the sub-offfce

ALL DAY SUNDAY
She Thought About Food That Would
 Agree With Her

An unnatural appetite for rich and i'm proper food Is really kept alive by the use of such foods, whereas change to health full nourishing, and scientifically made food will correct the unnatural appetite. A little woman up at Peekskili, IN. 1, Margaret Smith, F. o. Box 19S, says:-
 Il was such sufferer from dyspepsia that life was a burden. I could hardly keep from eating all sorts of pastry, cakes, and other rich foods although they did not agree with me, nor in fact did nay sort of food. I became low-spirited ana SE- Couraged, was too weak to work and very seriously troubled with palpitation of the heart.
 Drugs seemed to make me worse rat--s- than better A friend said one day. I Eo. lieve Grape-Nuts food would cure you; ex- plaining that that food was made with great care and intended for the prevention and relief of diseases that were broGs~. . about by improper food.
 That was Saturday night, and all day Sunday 1 kept thinking about Grape Nuts. and the first thing Monday morning sent for d package l had 1t in my mind that the food would look like nuts and was disappointed when I found it had to be eaten with a spoon. However, l followed the directions and made a meal of Grape Nuts and milk, which I found to be deli cious and for the first time in months suffered no distress after eating.
 II at once began to feel hopeful that I might be cured at last. Since that day I have used Grape-Nuts constantly, morn- ing and night, and have steadily improved in health, until now I am as well as I ever was in my life; weigh 10 pounds more than I did a year ago, have no palpitation of the heart and can work all day long
 "At supper l have Grapt-Nuts mixed with soft-boiled eggs. l make my dinner on any kind of food I desire. One of the bes. things about this cure by proper food is that I no longer have any deefre for the rich, indgestible rubbish of which l used to be so fond"
