CIRCUIT MAKES PROTEST
BECAUSE REMOVED.
Calls That Act Species of Lynch
Law and Mob Rule.

Ohlls Ihnt Act species OF Lyhch
Law and Mob Rule.
New York. Oct. S.-Although profess
ing his determination to contest the
right of the Republican and Citizens
Union city convention to displace him
as their nominee for controller, Ed
ward NJ. Grout has made no appeal
to the courts thus far. The filing of
the amended ticket of the Republican
organization with the board of cleo
tions was made without protest from
either Mr.. Grout or MIR. Fornes, and
thus one step in the process of sub
stitution has been accomplished.
Controller Grout issued a long state
ment to-day in reply to the actions
of the convention last night. In his
statement he charges the Citizens I'm
ion with being under Senator Platts
rule and he says that he will fight his
being taken off the ticket to the end.
He ends his statement by saying:
And, finally ! shall appeal to all
fair minded people to say whether a
man whom they have known to be
honest, shall be destroyed by the
species of lynch law and mob rule
which has prevailed this fortnight
past"
Frederick w. Henrichs, who was
nominated last night by the fusion
lists for controller, said to-day at his
office that he would accept the nomi-
nation.
Tammany Hall tonight nominated
Senator John F. Aheard for borough
president.

FRANCE AND ENGLAND
SIGN IMPORTANT TREATY.
Is One of Arbitration and Based On
Hny-PauncefOte Treaty

HnH-PauncefOte Treaty
Paris, oct. SIT was learned in au
thoritative quarters this evening that
the terms of the general treaty of ar
bitration between France and Great
Britain have been concluded between
Foreign Minister Delcasse and the au-
thorities in London.
All the substantial features of the
treaty have now been settled. There
only remain minor questions of detail
before the signing of the treaty. These
formalities are so far advanced that
the treaty is considered to be an ac-
complished fact to-day. The treaty
follows the general lines of the Hay
Fauncefote arbitration treaty, which to
considerable extent, served as
model.
1t is pointed out that the HayPaun-
cefote treaty, although rejected by the
United States Senate. now serves as d
basis for this important Anglo-F French
treaty. The officials also view the ne
gotiations as evidence of the sympa-
thetic attitude of the United States.
France and Great Britain on the prac-
teal adoption of the theory of arbitra-
ton.
The treaty is mainly significant in be-
ing the elimination of the rapproach-
ment between France and Great Brit
ain after centuries of warfare. the
maintenance of defensive ornaments
and the recent animosities growing out
of the Fashoda incident and the South
African war.
1t is also significant of the tendency
towards a Encouragement of European
pOlitical alliances
