dered on the other side a wish for more
drumming. The position of France and
Russia toward thedreibund is not changed.
All that happened at Oronetradt was that
pe5 existing conditions became manifest
there is no need of uneasiness. The czar's
intentions are most pacific. Only care
must be taken to avoid clumsy errors. The
czar's government was in position to make
its will prevail. Its increased confidence
in the French constituted no danger to
Germany.
Referring to the state of general arma
ment in Europe the chancellor said this
would continue much longer, uninfluenced
by resolves adopted by peace congresses.
It was, however, matter of satisfaction that
general preparations for war had increased
the desire for peace. In East Africa Ger
many still had a long task to fulfll. She
had been obliged to have recourse to the
doubtful plan of a lottery. But Germany's
possessions in Africa were ten times` more
important than those of England, with
which nation Germany had not made ' bad

been regarded as an act of weakness, but
continuanoe of that system as a permanency
was impossible. The assimilation of Reich
sland with Germany was progressing surely.
The beet connecting link was the army.
After a few generations theeiohland ques
tion wottlo e settled. There was no cause
for- uneasinss on acouant of the army, al
though a certain military pessimism had
lately become apparent. The world's habit
of estimating the worth of ad army accord
ing to its numbers was wrong.. Germany
never, before goesed 0 many capable
military-4eadlý, .and no OtBher nationnad'
spebh chances for the nex-wa.. ,
Referring to the movements of troops on
Russian and French frontiers the chancel
lor said Germany, as well as Austria, had
in this respect probably'exceeded hbr duty.
Too much anxiety prevailed because Russia
had dispatched an army corps to a place
as near the German frontier as Coblentz
was to the Russian frontier. Newspapers,
1 moreover, ought to be better employed than
in alarming readers by publishming reports
calculated to interfere with commerce and
damaging to the country.
The chancellor, referring to his journey
to Russia with Emperor William, said he
knew the interview between the two emper
i ors had given great satisfaction to Russia.
Nothing, he said, could shake his convic
tion that the personal intentions of the czar
were the most Pacific in the world. "No
existing government," he said "has sufti
oient military preponaerance to induce it
to provoke war with a light heart. The
stronger a government is the more easily
will it avoid dangerous contretemps. It is
a source of satisfaction to know that Rus
sia possesses this strength. France would
not have sought the Cronetadt meeting had
she doubted that Russia was strong enough
to be relied upon:"
THE RUSSO-FRENO. ENTENtE.
Its' Nature Made Public for the First
Time.
LCopyright, 1891, New Ybrk Assooiated Press. I
LONDON, Nov. 27.-The first authentic in
formation conveying the result of De Giers'
sojourn in Paris reached the foreign office
through the British embassy in Berlin. De
Glaers communicated to Emperor William
and Caprivi a clear explanation of the con
I ferences held in Paris and the character of
I the Rueso-French entente. Doubtless the
Sczar instructed the minister to make these
declarations with the view of having not
only the German but other interested
European governments learn the nature of
the compact between Russia and France.
According to the semi official statement,
based on Da Giers' deolarations, the recent
s interview with President Carnot, De 'Frey
oinet, and Ribot, resulted in a definite
agreement for an exclusively defensive al
leance. The entente agreed upon, accord
I ing to the statement quoted, differs on one
of the most essential points from the
triple alliance, inasmuch as while
Sthat makes the European atatus quo
Sthe basis of the maintainace of peace, the
Ruseo-French entente aims at what
De Giers has called "respect for treaties,"
meaning especially the restoration of Rus
asia's grip on Bulg ria end British evacua
tion of Egypt. Tlhe ditfferences on the sit
uation are not, meantime, to be regarded
as constituting danger of war, as both the
Russian and French governments desire to
assure a strict application of existing
treaties by pacific means, De Glers further
Scommunicated the fact that no treaty has
yet been signed and it is intimated that the
French ministers desire to conclude a for
mal contract as alone properly defining fu
ture responsibilities and rendering it possi
ble to pursue a distinct policy before
Europe, while at the same time avoiding
warlike designs.
The sum of these official assurances from
the Berlin embassy is that the Paris con
ferences resulted ip a scheme to maintain
diplomatic warfare against the drelbund
and England, awaiting a more propitious
perio..lo engaging in actual tar. De
Gler' sdmmunications assume first im
port i not for what they disclose so
mo llbeause they constitute the first
ofleialtdluissionof the Russtan g1overn
mentu to he powers that the Russo-France
alliance has really been arranged.
Lord Baliebury went to Windsor to-night
to place before the queen certain dispatohes,

It Goes Up, the Manager Having Lost His
Mind.
NEW Yonx, Nov. 27.-Edwin M. Field,
Daniel L. Lindley, John Frederick Wechers
and Herman C. Helmus, composing the firm
of Field, Lindley, Wechers & Co., bankers
and brokers. assigned to-day without pref
erence. The failure was announced at the
produce exchange at noon, but the grain
market was only slightly affected. The
house is an old one. but has of late been
somewhat restricted in its dealings. 'Ihe
failure is attributed to the rise in corn at
New York and Chicago. Assignee Gould
when seen at the firm's office this afternoon,
said: "The assignment was made for this
reason: Edward M. Field, senior member
of the firm, has evidently gone distracted.
His illness resembles paresis and is due to
overwork and the great responsibility rest
ing upon him as manager of the finances of
the firm. His mother died last Mon
day and this seemed to bring to a climax
his mental trouble, which some of his
friends detected two years ago. A physi
cian told me a few days ago that Field was
not all right ipi his mind."
Judge Dillon was unable to learn to
night the dispositios made of certain

this paper amounts to about $600.000(
Later it was reported that the sooeritiel
were sold to-day on the stock exchange,
and that the road would get out an injuno
tion-to prevent their delivery. Numerous
rumors are afloat that the firm's indebted
ness is all the way from $1.000.000 to
$1,500,000, but no correct statement could
be secured through the office firm. One of
the partners denies that corn had anything
special to do with the difficulty, and says
their matters are disarranged, and they do
not know how they stand, considering
which the frm' thought best to send out
notice of inability to meet their obliga

firm had a hard time getting through trans
actions in that staple.
Brice's OClaim to a Seat.
CoLUMaUS, O., Nov. 27.-At a meeting of
the state central republican committee to
night, balled to consider whether any stops
should be taken to test the eligibility of
Calvin S. Brice to the United States sena
torship on the around that he is not a resi
dent of Ohio. a letter was read from Sena
tor Siherman stating that Brice's certificate
from the governor would probably be con
sidered prima facie evidence of his title to
a seat. '1 his. however, would not deter
mine his right to the seat it it could be
shown that he was not an inhabitant of
the state. In his judgment, the only way
to institute the inquiry would be by joint
resolution of the general assembly A
majority of speeches were against any ac
tion being taken by the committee the
claim being made that Brice had established
the point of citizenship. A resolution was
adopted authorizing Judge Nash, of Colum
bus, to make investigation, of the evidence
bearing upon Brice's eligibility and report
to the committee.

of his child and no questions asked. Oi
,All to-day the police worked every pos- t,

the pirents were nearly prostrated, neithea
hl~ taken any rest since it disappeared.
TO-ieRht a-man appeared at the mansion.
He *as dressed like a day laborer and Ti
wore a false.face and wig. When Beals
came to the door the man told him he was
a deteotivey that he had found the tbiuct- st
res, Lizzie Smith, or King, and her ac- T
eompliles; that they demanded $20,000 ei
ransom and he was prepared to deliver the fc
child for that amount. Beals declined to o0
pay bhe sum and stuck to the original offer w
of $5,00. After much parleying it was hi
flual~' agreed that the detective would de- C
liver the child for that amount.
Beal~told the police he had pledged his
hlono that the man should not be
bi arrested while engaged in carrying out a
hi's prt of the contract and ordered them w
not $o interfere. At 10 p. m. to-night the p
man taturned with the child and handed it ci
over *pon receipt of $5,000 in bank notes. I
The child was sleeping soundly, safe and n
well. The joy of the parents knew no
boun4s. When a representative of the P
Associated press arrived at the house the ti
chil'was awake and in the arms of his h
fathel , while the mother stodd by fondly a
watching him. The child, when asked who is
oarried him away, jaid "Lizzie," but all he d
knew further was that he had been t]
"riding."
Mrs. King, the abduotress, was arrested
about midnight, but refused to talk. She
bad been in Beale' household but a week,
having answered an advertisement for a
waitress, giving the name of Lizzie Smith.
From th talk of other servants it is gath- I
ered that she led a fast life in several west- I

illinois. .The police to-day. learned that

another man lived with tem. They rented a
a cottage a short time ago and furnished it
on the installment plati. It was through
these notes that they were traced. King
has not yet been found. No doubt he is an
accomplice of the woman in the abduction 1
plot-perhaps the originator of it. It is
not known if the other man, also not found,
had anything to do with it.
Late to-night it was learned that the po
I lice caught the woman in a house on Park
avenue. She said she went on to the ver
anda Thursday evening to get a paper
when the men rushed up, thrust'a revolver
in her face, and ordered her to get the boy.
She was thoroughlv frightened and did so.
Then the men carried her to a carriage,
drove her about for some time and turned
her adgift. The police declare the story
too thin. From papers found they learned
that she had recently been in in Denver, t

PHILADELPrIRA, Nov. 27.-In reply to the
statement contained in the New York it
Times, alleging that the United States a
cruiser Philadeiphia is topheavy and unfit
for service, Charles H. Cramp, head c
of the shipbuilding firm at whose tl
r works the cruiser was constructed, tl
has entered an emphatic denial. Mr. o
Cramp said: "The vessel is now in
commission and has gone to sea. The very
fact of her going to sea shows that the de- r
partment has the fullest confidence in her v
behavior. To give an idea of the general b
excellence of the Philadelphia's lines, it
will be interesting to know that the klalti
more, an exact duplicate of the Philadel- n
phia as'to model, raced the crack Frenoh g
cruiser L'Etage for thirty-six hours in the I
Mediterranean sea, and, while under a
d natural draught, when the L'Etage was 1
using her forced draught of one-inch water
pressure, the Baltimore easily led the race.
The Philadelphia is one of the very best ni
a types of the modern protected cruiser. She I
s has great speed, a heavy armament, a four- t
inch protective deck and ample stability in
association with a high free board. There
is nothing in the English navy now of her
displacement that is her equal in everything t
n that goes to make a perfect cruiser."
