ton of a tree having its branches from
top to bottom decked with burning can
dies, with the figure Of child at the
very top sending forth brilliant light.
This tree in some way symbolized
Christianity, the candles representing
souls and the child typifying Christ.
1t is said that the Christmas tree was
adopted in France and England in
1910. Prince Albert is credited with
having introduced it in England the
first Christmas following his marriage,
which was in 1910. Within a few years
after that one Of the trees at Windsor
castle bore gifts valued at $4,000. But
more than century before Prince Al
bert's advent an improvised Christmas
tree, called ''besant," was carried in
professions in England at Yuletide. It
consisted Of pole decked with holly
or other evergreens and ribbons, to-
gether with oranges and apples and
sometimes pair Of dolls.
The irrepressible desire for novelty
has led to unique variations In Christ
mas trees. A society woman having a
couple of valuable pet dogs got up a
dogs Christmas tree and invited forty
or more Of the neighboring thorough
bred pups to the ovation.
The device by which Santa Claus
is cooped up in the trunk of a portable
tree, with his head showing out at
times, is very simple, yet very taking
with young folks. 1t Is accomplished
by having two empty barrels without
heads fastened one above the other
and covered with moss, bark and
lichen. Through a knot hole Santa's
voice Is heard The structure being OF
casters, the imp inside can move il
about the platform to the infinite de
light Of the children.
Another device for having voice is
sue from the Christmas tree is accom-
plished by the use Of the telephone, the
receiver being hung in the tree. The
absent ones can then send familiar
tones to those present, and when the
speakers are very dear and unavoida
bly, absent the message is the bes
Christmas present that can be con
ceived of for the occasion. An cleo
trical outfit for lighting christina
trees has been invented at small cost
One clever boy used it with novel re
suits by applying it to magniticen
evergreen standing in front Of hi
home. 1t was lighted on Christina
eve after a snowstorm which decket
the branches with fleecy garb. Tn
heat Of the lamps melted the snow, ant
then 1t froze in all manner Of shapes
When lighted up again on Christina
night the pendent icicles and Icy armo
glittered like myriad Of gems sus
pended in the glare of shifting lights.

France From Alliance With Russia.

France From Alliance With Russia.
Special Cable Despateh to The SUN.
PARIS, Sept. are already
well advanced for the next war OF con-
quest in which great Power will engage
The French Government has determined
to conquer and annex Morocco, and opera
tions on an extensive scale will probably
be begun within few weeks.
This ambition of France is, OF course,
well known and well understood. What
Is not well known and will not be easily
understood is that Great Britain has con-
sented to stand aside and to abandon her
almost traditional attitude OF protection
Of the royal prerogatives Of the Sultan OF
this African Kingdom.
Less than ten years ago Great Britain
would not have hestated to make war
with France, if necessary, in defence
Of the integrity of Morocco. The Sultan,
as late as the spring Of the present year,
relied with absolute confidence upon British
support. Whether he has yet become
aware OF its withdrawal has not trans
pired.
Tho explanation OF this radical change
Of policy on the part Of the British Govern
ment is only partially clear. 1t has at
first glance the appearance OF another
'cave," and a weak one at that. Its mo-
tive, however, is undoubtedly the new
effort which Britain is making to divorce
France from her alliance with Russia.
The concession was made by the British
authorities at the time of the visit of Presi-
dent Loubet to the King in July last, and
NJ. Delcasse brought back with him to Paris
| the consent of Lord Lansdowne as the
greatest coup of his administration.
How much will be accomplished toward
the object aimed at by this very substantial
| favor to the French republic it is difficult
to say. The reaction against Russia in
| French public opinion is considerable, and
| it is increasing. It is especially strong
| nationally, in financial circles, where it is
| realized that Russia has systematically
turned French sympathy into coin from
the moment the alliance was announced.
The compact is, however, still factor
OF prime importance in international poll.
tics, and England cannot hope to render
it imperative to-day or tomorrow by hel
friendly action with regard to Morocco.
The approaching campaign will be {
subject Of keenest military interest MOI
alone to France, but to all Europe. Moth
ing is known and much is suspected re-
garding the effectiveness Of the machinery
and personnel of the French army. Il
has had no real test.
The conquest of Morocco will not bt
child's play, although it involves nothing
approaching in magnitude the task which
Great Britain assumed with light hear

Special Cabs Despatch 10 The sun.
HAVANA, Sept. l8-News was received
on Monday that band, variously estimated
at from twelve to fifty men, was in the woods
near Ell Caney, Santiago province. The
news was telegraphed to Secretary zero,
who was at Ciego de Avilo. and he issued
orders that the band should be pursued with
the utmost vigor.
Tonight news was received that one of
the leaders, Moncada, had been killed at the
Lima farm, near FL Caney. and two others,
including Castillo, the principal leader, had
been dangerously wounded The other
nine were either captured or gave them
selves up.
The father of one of the leaders, said to
be Sagal, the civil governor of Santiago
province, said that the band had been on
his farm at Lima.
The father brought letter from his son
and another leader stating that the band
had only risen against the authorities in
pacific protest against the delay in paying
the soldiers who served in the army in the
late war with Spain and the mistakes in
the army lists which had Just been COM
pleted
The leaders in their letter said they in
tended to call Oh President Palma and
present their grievances when he arrived.
They also said that as they had no idea of
fighting against the Republic the Rurales
should be called Off, because if their pur-
suit we're continued the matter would be-
come serious.
Senior Sagal, in reply, ordered that the
no
should be redoubled He declared that
he could not listen TO such an absurd pro-
posal az the one contained in the letter.
