young men, however, were deferred from enlist

that it was a large and expensive club The men

Opinion in England.

New oYrk. Aug.<24.-The importance of the French demonstration against the Porte is steadily declining. 1t Is now described by an English Journal. says London dispatch to The Tribune. as purely personal affair rather than . rupture Of diplomatic relations. The Sultan will not be humiliated by CO., ercive measures, enforced by a power- ful fleet, but will be reminded with French politepess that settlement of the controversy over the quays of Con stantinoole cannot be postponed for an indefinite period.
 The English press is convinced by the departure of the French Mediterrafi4 : can squadron for their Atlantic man. euvers that tic Sultan will be allowed time for borrowing the money and paying the dock claims on easy install-

The English press is not at it's best in dissertations upon the Mon- roe doctrine, but 1t Is making progress.

AS VIEWED BY FRANCE.
Government Will Not Meddle With
 Central American Trouble

Central American Trouole
 Paris, Aug. 24.-The French press has not been giving much attention editori- ally to the Venezuela Colombian ques- ton. but what comment has been made has on the whole been adverse to the United States, which is accused Of ex- aeeerating facts in order to have an excuse to intervene. and seize the isthmus of Panama and the canal:
 The correspondent of the Associateo Press learned today from well in- formed source that the French GOV ernment has not yet considered the contingencies which may arise it the limited States intervenes. nor has any exchange If views with the European chancellories on the subject taken place or even been suggested. 50 Tar as France is concerned, she does not con- template any step beyond that aireaoy taken. of sending a warship to protect tbe lives and property of Frenchmen on the isthmus.
 The government has not recefveo any news from Its representative !" Central America concerning the troubles there until a day or two ago As these came by nail they related events three weeks old and fail to give a clear idea oe what is taking place. But it is certain that there is nothing calculated to cause alarm for the safety of French interests.

 Panic.

New York. Aug. 24.-A most violent and protracted rain storm accompanieu hv wind. which at times Tn some sec lions approached the proportions ol hurricane. swept over New 1ork Clty' Westchester County and the northeast ern portion of New Jersey this after- noon. The most damage so far report ed was at Jersey City, where Duliolnes were wrecked, including churcn anu theatre. ...,.
 Rain had been falling intermlttently all morning and about l D. m. the low hanging clouds began to discharse torrents of water and this was kept m until after o'clock. About 5 o'clock the wind increased greatly in violence and at 3:30 Jersey City began to have the worst storm experienced in it's history. Two windstorms seemingly met in the neighborhood of Newark Avenue and Barrow Street, and a cy- clonio condition resulted. Horses standing in Newark Avenue and the wagons to which they were hitched were blown over. Telegraph poles and wires fell.
 A moment or two later the steeple Of St. Marys Roman Catholic Church. the largest in the city, fell back. upon the church, the piles of brick .tom the SDlre CIdSHlHS lHTOuSn lhC lOOA ohNs down upon the pews.
 Two blocks south of St. Mary s Church and nearly on line with it on Newark Avenue is the Bijou Theatre. The Man Who Dared' Company was rehearsing for an opening of the the- ater for the season. Two lions that are used in the play were in cages on the stage when sudden rush of wind made the building tremble. Warning cries caused the performers to leave | the stage not a second too soon. Bricks came down from the high walls. ruin l Ing the stage and bending in the lions cage. The lions reared in terror. | Caused a Panic.
 As the performers rushed out a shout was raised in the street that the lions | were loose and the crowd which had | sought shelter in the corridor fled panic-stricken. The lions did not es- | cape. but their cages were hit, and the Leasts were cut hy the bricks, but the
 bars held them.
 | On the south side of Newark Avenue
 opposite the theatre, the roofs of twelv,
 three-story buildings were ripped off Great pieces of tin fell in the streets
 Roofs were so completely ruined tha | the rain soon deluged the buildings. Al immense telegraph pole just east of tn,
 theatre fell against the brick building | on the north side of the street. Show | windows were crashed and the glaS | filtered the street. The breaking O wires stopped the trolley cars movln;
 up Newark Avenue, and in many othe
 parts of the city cars stopped becaus

Sultan Made Haste.

Paris. Aug. 24.-The foreign officials do not conceal their delight at the set- clement of tn Turkish difficulty. Dur ing the last few days it was evident that anxiety was felt lest the Czar might be displeased at the attitude of France.
 There is no doubt that the Sultan has yielded all in the matter of the quays by issuing an trade recognizing the full rights claimed by the French company. to extend its operations by land and start ferries. also removing the annoy- ing restrictions hitherto imposed by the customs and police officials. This not only ends the dispute. but ends also all question of repurchase of the com panys concession by the Porte at the present time.
 Regarding tht oth reFrench claims as have been admitted by Turkey the negotiations only turn on manner of payment. It is believed that will be arranged very quickly.
