FIR ENCH FOREIGN NRELATIONS.
Friendship for A m erica and the Franco
Russian Alliance.

Paris, Feb. 11.-During the discussion
of the foreign office budget to-day in
the senate NJ Audaney called attention
to the situation in China. He said it
was pregnant with difficulties, and he
feared the powers would impair the in
| tegrity Of China
| M Delcasse said his initiatives had
always been directed towards the res
| toration of the normal situation by the
powers. The latters adhesion to the
French propositions showed the inter-
ests of each were thereby safeguarded.
Some impatience at the slowness Of the
negotiations was displayed, but events
proved that the powers held the main
tenance Of the concert to be superior to
everything else. The powers conditions
had been accepted and it was now nee
essary to have thep carried out. The
government desired the speedy recall
of the French troops, but only when the
normal situation was restored.
M. Delcasse added: eff we are ready
to defend tenaciously our interests and
our rights we must profess the same
respect for the rights of others. Chi
nese affairs have afforded the opportu-
nifty to prove the community of inter-
ests of France and the United States
and the common action of France and
Russia, in China as elsewhere, showed
that the alliance was being daily
strengthened by the equal advantages
which each of the powers drew there
from. France deserved that party spir-
1t should end where the grave interests
OF the country began" Hearty ap-
plause followed this statement
M. Peytral asked if the Anglo German
agreement as to the far east affected
the concert Of the powers. M. Delcasse
replied that the senate was cognizant
of the text of the Anglo German agree
ment. There was nothing in it's dis
quieting for French interests. Another
senator asked M. Delcasse, the minister
of foreign affairs, to affirm the rights of
France in Newfoundland in order to
reassure the maritime population. M.
Delcasse replied that the French rights
had never been contested and the gov
fully appreciated their value
This statement was greeted with cheers.

FINDING ON HOBOKEN FIRE.
German Naval Board DenOunces New
York Tugboats.

hOfk IuSbOHts'
Berlin, Feb. 11.-An investigation was
begun to-day before a naval board at
Bremen Haven into the causes, circum-
stances and incidents of the great Ho-
boken fire of June 80, 1900. Most of the
witnesses deposed unfavorably with
reference to the conduct of the New
York tugboats at the time AS the re-
suit of its inquiry the naval board found
that the fire originated in the cotton
sheds and developed rapidly into a
great conflagration. 1t found also that
the cause of the outbreak could not be
precisely ascertained, but was probably
due to carelessness
"If the Saale, the Bremen and the
Main could have been more promptly
hauled from the piers" says the judg-
ment of the board, "the damage to the
vessels and the loss Of life would not
have been nearly so serious. The New
York tugs refused various requests for
assistance and paid no heed to those
drifting on the water.
Especial praise is due to First Engin-
eer Bertrands and Second Officer Holt
felt as well as to several of the crew of
the Kaiser Friedrich, who saved thirty
seven persons from the Saale. No fault
is found with the measures taken on
the damaged ships; and the efforts to
eXtinguish the flames and to effect salv-
age together with the bea RIG and dis
cipline of the crews, are referred to in
the finding of the board as deserving
recognition

CONQUERED ON PAVEMENTS
ORDERS FOR HOWARD AVE., ELM,
CROWN AND OLIVE STREETS.
Now Await the Mayors Approval In
Order to Become Effective Query as
to Ownership of West River Flats
Granting of Further Privileges to
Street Railway Opposed-A Three Cent

Pavement matters again occupied a
great part of the meeting of the board
of councilmen last night. The matters
UP were the reports Of the committee
on streets on the petitions for perma-
nent pavements, reports which were re-
ceived and acted upon by the aldermen
at their meeting last Monday night. AS
result of last nights meeting there is
now concurrent action on orders for the
pavement of Howard avenue with
crushed stone, and Olive street, Elm
street and Crown street with vitrified
brick, these orders only awaiting the
mayors signature to become effective.
The first one of the committees pave
ment recommendation read last night
was that recommending vitrified allu-
vial clay brick for Crown street. Coun-
Gilman Bohn objected to the order for
:alluvial clay brick" saying that only
one firm manufactured this kind Of
brick He thought that the order
should provide for any kind of vitrified
brick and give more than one firm
chance to bid. He wanted to know
from any member Of the street COM
mittee what "alluvial clay" brick
meant Councilman Harkins said that
the petitioners asked for kind Of brick
pavement equal to that laid at the in
tersection Of State and Chapel streets
and that alluvial clay brick was laid
there. He said that If the gentleman
from the Third (Mr. Bohn) had con-
suited a dictionary before coming to
the meeting he would know what "al-
luvial clay meant. He said that there
were at least four firms which manu-
factured that kind Of brick.
Councilman Maley Of the street COM
mlttee also said that four firms made
the brick. Councilman Hosley Of the
committee said that he had not voted
in committee for alluvial clay brick and
and had not understood that any other
than the Syracuse brick concern made
that kind of brick.
Councilman Sullivan moved that the
order be amended to provide for the
laying of any kind Of vitrif1ed brick.
This amendment was lost by vote of
21-12 and then by the same vote the
board concurred with the aldermen In
passing the order as recommended by
the committee.
The Elm street recommendation for
alluvial clay brick was then
read. 1t was moved that concurrent
action with the aldermen in passing the
order be taken. Councilman Brown

New York, Feb. 111.-More than 1000
society men and women tonight in this

was away above par in the betting. The
game was one sided, but worth seeing.
The score was Harvard 4, Yale 0.

| Cape Town, Feb. 11.-Joseph Cham

to Sir Alfred Miner approving the re-
marks made by Sir Alfred in his reply
to the Afrikander deputation sent to
him by the Afrikander congress at

cided to notify foreign nations of the
fact that Cape Town is infected with

any doubt as to the nature of the dis
ease. Another native has died of the
disorder; three additional cases are an

TRICKS VISIT TO NEW YORK
STARTS AFRESH GOSSIP ON STEEL
NEGOTIATIONS.

Emphasis That He Has Nothing to Say
but When He Has He Can be Relied
Upon to say It-WaII street Views of
the Matter.
New York. Feb. 1.-THE arrival of
Henry c. Frick in this city to-day
started the gossips in Wall street dis
cussing afresh the steel trade negotia-
tions and the prospects of bringing
them to an early conclusion. No posi-
tive official information could be had
even on this subject. J. Pierpont Nor
gan himself when seen reiterated with
some emphasis that he had nothing to
say and that when he did have any
thing to say he could be relied to say
1t.
One of the rumors growing out of the
movements of the steel magnates was
to the effect that sale of the Car
negie company was not contemplated,
but rather a division Of territory was
planned on a pooling basis and that
peace negotiations between the great
steel companies was what was really
aimed at. The interests buying the
Carnegie stocks are, 1t is claimed, also
to purchase interest in certain other
companies 1t is generally believed,
however, as the deal progresses that
among the number will be Federal
Steel, Steel and Wire, National Tube
and National Steel 1t Is also said that
the American Bridge company will in
some way enter into the new arrange
nent, The propositions as discussed in
financial circles appear to hinge round
one central company as controlling
company. Many financiers believe that
this central controlling company will be
the Carnegie company and that what is
contemplated is merely change of the
controlling interest in the Carnegie
company from Andrew Carnegie to J.
r. Morgan.

Washington, Feb. 11.-This was field
day in the House, being by far the live
liest day during the present session. At
times it was noted for bitter insinua-
tions and retorts. During the debate
on the diplomatic and consular appro-
,priation bill Mr.. Fitzgerald, of Massa-
chusetts, apropos of a London dispatch
in the morning papers about an alliance
between England and Portugal against
the Boer republics, recalled the fact
that in the long struggle in South At
RIGA the United States had given no in
dication of it's sympathy with the gov
ernments England was trying to crush
out. He thought 1t time for the House
to take some action. If the people had
voice in it they would declare in favor
of the Beers. ~
Mr.. Sulzer, of New York, also spoke
in sympathy with the Boer cause. He
declared that the United States was vi
oating the neutrality laws of nations
by permitting the English to buy muni-
tions of war here for use in South Af-
RIGA against the Beers. He believed 1t
was the duty of the president and of
congress to stop the purchase of sup
plies here. The great conscience of Eng
land was opposed to the war. Queen
Victoria with her last breath, accord
Ing to the reports, prayed for peace,
She left that heritage to her son, If he
makes peace he will rank as one of
greatest kings. If he pur-
sues the present relentless war he will

STRUCK BY A SWITCH ENGINE
YOUNG ARTHUR O,KEEFE's GENE
ROSI1Y LED 70 HIS DEATH.

While Trying to Recover Playmatc'a
Sled Which Had Conc Over the Wall
to the Tracks-II Widowed Nrother
Frustrated with GrIof.
| Arthur O'Keefe, fourteen year -old
boy, who lived on Dewitt street, was
killed by being struck by the Derby
switch engine at the. Lamberton street
bridge about o'clock last evening.
The boy, with crowd of other chill
dren, was coasting on small hill &C
the junction of Arthur and Lanlberton
streets, and the youngsters were having
fine time. The end of the inclined
stretch of street on which they were
enjoying themselves with their sleds
was near the Lamberton street bridge,
across the cut through which the rail-
road tracks run. The sides, Of the cut
are walled up with stone walls about
ten reet high, and in some way one Of
the little girls in the crowd of coasters
lost her hold on her sled and it slid over
the edge of the wall and down to the
tracks. The little girl was much dis
tressed, and young O'Keefe very gal
lantly offered to get the sled for her.
At that point in the wall some sticks
and spikes have been stuck in the pre-
cipitous side Of the wall to enable boys
and men to climb down into the cut.
BY means Of these improvised steps
young O'Keefe climbed down to the
tracks.
Just as he reached the tracks the
switch engine on the Derby road track
came along at rapid rate of speed and
struck him. The boy was dragged about
one hundred yards before the engine
was stopped, the body being wedged in
the cowcatcher of the locomotive.
The crowd of children had seen the
accident and gave the alarm. A large
crowd of men from the neighborhood
soon gathered, and, climbing down into
the cut, they tenderly picked up the in
jured boy and carried him to Ballor's
drug store, two blocks away.
Word was sent to the Howard ave"
nue. police station and two patrolmen,
Horan and Fallon, were detailed 70 the
scene of the accident. The police am
bulance was summoned from police
headquarters and in it the boy was
taken to the New Haven hospital. TIe
was unconscious when picked up from
the track and did not regain conscious
ness before he died. The ambulance
arrived at the hospital at 7:40 and the
boy died a few minutes afterwards.
The unfortunate child was bright
little fellow and was well liked by all
his playmates. He was a generous lit
tie chap, and it was his generosity in
trying to recover his playmate's sled
which led to the terrible accident which
cost his life. He was the son Of Mrs.
Rosa O'Keefe, of No. 54 Dewitt street,
a widow woman, whose husband was
the late Cornelius O'Keefe. The re-
mains had not been removed from the.
hospital at midnight last night. The
mother was prostrated with grief when
news of her boys death was brought to
her.
At the hospital 1t was found that the
boy had received a bad fracture of the
skull and the only other outward evil
dence of injury was bruise on the left
leg.
