FRENCH INTERESTS ON THE IsTHMUs
NOT MUCH ATTENTION GIVEN TO THE SUB
JECT IN PARIS

Paris, Aug. 24-The French press has not been
giving much attention edtorially to the Ven
ezuela- Colombia question. but what comment
has been made has. the whole. been adverse
to the United States. which is accused of ex-
aggeratng facts in order to have an excuse to
intervene and seize the Isthmus Of Panama and
the canal.
The correspondent of The Associated Press
learned to-day from a we'll informed source that
the French Government has not yet considered
the contingencies which may arise if the United
States intervenes nor has any exchange of Views
with the European chancelleries on the subject
taken place even been suggested. So far as
France is concerned. she does not contemplate
any step beyond that already taken, OF sending
a warship to protect the lives and property of
Frenchmen the isthmus. The government
had not received any news from it's representa-
tives in Central America concerning the troubles
there until day or two ago. AS these came by
mail they relate to events three weeks old, and
fail to give clear idea of what is taking place.
But it is certain that there was nothing calcu-
lated to cause alarm for the safety of French
interests.

HOrsemen and Stables Arriving for
the Fall Meeting.
Horsemen watched the clouds gather yes
terday with much satisfaction and regard
ed the same conditions today with equal
compacency, because a good soaking rain
at this particular time would guarantee a
fast track at Benning for the opening of
the fall meeting of the Washington Jockey
Club next Monday, November Ii. A good
soaking today and tomorrow would be just
the thing, according to the initiated, to as
sure the very best sort of going for the
nags In the inaugural events. OF course, a
continued spell of wet weather would be
anything but desirable, as dust fetlock deep
is better than mud of the same dimensions
In any event, the meeting will be inter-
eSting from every point of view. The i'm

will add immeasurabIy to the comfort and
convenience of patrons whether they are
spectators, owners trainers, Jockeys. book
les or hackers. There will be over 200 more
horses at the track than ever came to
former meeting and this will assure large
fields and good contests, with generous
odds. A number of stables have already
arrived, and the additions each day until
Monday will be continuous.
Quarters have been secured at the vari-
GUS hotels by a larger contingent Of race
followers Of the better class than local
hostelries have hitherto recorded previous
to similar meetings and include nearly all

JEFFRIEs AND RuHLIN FIGHT.
Both Men Are in Good ShaArand Full
of Confidence.

From this time on the approaching bat
tie between Jeffries and Rubin will attract
the attention of the admirers Of pugilism
The reports from training quarters in Cali
fornia are that both men are in excellent
shape. Unless the unforeseen happens nei-
ther man will have any excuse to offer
on the, score of condition. The question
that sports are asking is, Can Jeffries
knock out Rubin in a stipulated number of
rounds? Even Rubin admirers only expect
the Akron Giant to be on his feet at the
end Of twenty rounds. Ruhlins only boast
is that he will be on his feet at the end
of the last round. Assuming that the fight
should go the limit and that Rubin, If
| anything, might have shade the better of
the contest 1T would take an extraordinary
referee to decide tagainst the champion of
the world. That is one of the reasons why
men are laying long odds on Jeffries. OF
course, the main reason is that Jeffries has
has never yet been put out in any contest
Rubin may prove to be better man than
generally anticipated, bat he has blenfishes
on his escutcheon.
1t looks as if Jeffries should be able to
put up the battle of his life when he steps
| into the roped arena the night of No
vember Is. Always safe fighter, he has
recently improved wonderfully in aggress-
fveness, and people who crowd into Me-
chantcs' Pavilion, San Francisco, may not
| see very long fight. meeting Of the
big men should not last twenty rounds if
| both men show an inctination to mix mat
ters. OF course, 1t is folly to conjecture
at present the style of fight that the men
VIII put up; but it is safe to assert that
Jeffries will cut out a much faster pace
| than usual.
| There is some speculation as to the box
office receipts. They are variously esti-
| mated at any way from $4,000 to So, 600.
| If betting were anything like even the re-
| ceipts might reach the latter amount, but
the promoters should consider themselves
| lucky If they reach $4,000.

tions Of Baltimore at present and at vari-
Gus election times, when that city was
under democratic control. He spoke of the

Of Maryland last fall and said it was for
the purpose of passing a law to disfranchise
voters The democrats, he said, gave the
census frauds and the need Of a sewer sys-
tenn In Baltimore as the reasons for calling
the session. The speaker termed Mr.. L. Free
man Rasin as the ''generalissimo" Of Bal
timore and Mr.. Arthur P. German as an
arch-conspirator. He denounced the new
election law as iniquitous. In closing Mr..
Broening spoke Of the death of President
Mckinley in feeling terms and said that
although that great and beloved statesman
lay beneath the sod. his spirit still lived.
Mr. H. o. Chamberlain, member of the
Hyattsville Republican Club. addressed
the meeting and during his talk he read
editorials which appeared in democratic
paper of dates of October and %. 1897,
denouncing "Gormanism" and 'Rasinism."
Mr. Chamberlain said that the conditions at
present were identical in his mind. with
those when the editorials were written

the next speaker. He denounced repub-
licans who had attached their signatures
to the petition of the reform republi-
cans" He cited Mayor Michael W Tier
ney OF this town a signer, saying he
asked for the nomination for the state
senate, but failed to carry his own delega-
tion at the convention at Marlboro At
this junct1re Mr.. Howard o. Emmons, an
other speaker of the evening informed
Mr. Calvert that he was mistaken about
Mayor Tierney, and added that he did
carry his delegation. Mr.. F.. B. Metzerott
arose to support Mr.. Calvert In the state
ment he had made. but was called to order
by the chairman.
Other speakers of the evening were
Charles Calvert Of College Park, who de-
