AN ARMY FROM JAPAN
UNWELCOME IN FRANCE

PARIS, December %, 1855 p.m.-Ga'
briel Hanotaux, former foreign minis-
ter. expresses in the Figaro today what
appears to be the prevailing view In
France concerning the proposal that
Japan send an army to the battlehelds
Of Europe.
NJ. Hanotaux takes the view that
even though Japan should send no more
than 250.o00 men, force which would
hardly be large enough to exert de-
cisive influence, she would always con-
slider. in the event of victory for the
allies. that she had played an impor-
tant part in settling the war.
Although NJ. Hanotaux makes no al
lusion to the United States, it may be
stated that the American viewpoint
has been taken into consideration by
the government.

called at the sheriff's Office this
morning, but was told by his
clerk that Mr.. Fountain was out
of town. The question was, ask
ed, HAS the sheriff sent tele-
grams, letters or postal cards
asking sheriff's and police officers
in various towns to apprehend
and arrest Ben Barton. :" II don't

could learn what effort is being
made in regard to the capture of
Ben Barton, who shot and killed
a negro in the county Jail last
Sunday morning.

dysentery as a consequence of the sani-
tary measures taken by the govern
ment.
Pola, Austria, Oct. 25.-Prices OF pro.
visions here have increased greatly.
Bread costs % cents a kilogram q 1-5
pounds, more than double the ordinary
charge. Civilians have been told that
they must lay in food for six months
or leave town. Hundreds of persons
already have left.
Trieste and the surrounding country
are quiet. The people generally seem
greatly depressed. Trieste has only
enough imported coal on hand to last
until December, after which it must
burn Syrian coal, which is of poor
quality and useless for gas manufact-
uring purposes. The streets are only
half lighted to save gas.
The police have adopted the severest
measures to prevent Italian newspapers
circulating in Trieste and the vicinity.
Persons found having such papers are
sentenced to fourteen days imprlson-
ment.
