Till: CZAR IX FRANCE. EVIDENCE THAT HIS VISIT STRENGTH EN? THE DUAL ALLJANCE. rZEXCiI ENTHUSIASM OVER THEIR RUSSIAN ALLY AS FERVENT AS IT WAS FIVE YEARS AGO. (Copyrftfrt: 1901: By The New-York Tribune! '»•» CABLE TO TH2 TEIBCXE.I runt. Sept. 19.— The receptions accorded to the Czar and Czarina and carried out under the most brilliant auspices at Dunkirk, Compiegne and Utelms have aroused an enthusiasm throughout France quite equal to that which characterized the imperial vlcit five years ago. The expres sions "friend" and '"ally" made use of by VlchnlaF II and President Loubet in their toasts 'uxi speeches are felt herp to be no mere empty compliments, but as indicating in simplest lan guage th* real strength and significance of the Duel Alliance, which has now been an accom plished fact for ten years, and the allusion made by President Loubet In c«!lirlg attention to the fact that It v.as Alexandre Ribot, Minister of Foreign Affairs in 18!»2, who was at that early date one of the principal architects of the Franco-Russian alliance Is regarded as a grace ful act of personal Justice. TJie great prominence given to the military 2,sd naval features of the imperial visit is ex plained by the fact that five years ago Nicholas II came here as the friend, while to-day he is here as the ally, and in this latter capacity he It following out his own strong personal desire to become familiar with the French army and navy. Indeed, during this mornings outing in the field during the manoeuvres the Czar gal loped about among the troops regardless of pre pcribeiJ arrangements or protocol, and made dose examinations of squadrons, companies and batteries at his own free will, and this persona Inspection of the French soldiers In their cam paigning kit evidently gave Kmperor Nicholas great satisfaction. Special significance is at tached to this because the Nationalist and re actionary newspapers have been giving undue prominence to two incidents of insubordination vfeteb took place last week among the newly {otoed men belonging to two Infantry regiments, who broke loose from discipline after a hard cay's inarch and sang the revolutionary "Car mam:ole." This is being worked for all it ie worth by the opposition press to endeavor to a]j iii rtit General Andr^, Minister of War, and |L TValdeck- Rousseau's Cabinet. Meanwhile all foreign officers who have fol loired the present manoeuvres do net hesitate to ledare that never has the French army been In ¦ore efficient condition than at present, when needless show of fuss and feathers is eschewed and businesslike simplicity and practical methods are apparent in each branch of the ser rice, and. above all. class favoritism is sup pressed. On the whole, the French nation ap pears to be stirred with the same pride and «i:. v . feelings as intense as during the former risit of Nicholas H. and there is, so far, not the lightest evidence that the Franco-Rus3ian al liance has lest one whit of Its attraction for Frencliraen of all shades and convictions in Paris anil throughout the country.

Plttsburg, Sept. :iO. — Five trains bearing Pres ident Theodore Roosevelt, the members of his Cabinet and oth-»r officials representing every department of the government, passed through Ptttaburs to-night on the Pennsylvania Rail road for Washington from Canton, the scene of the obsequies of the late President William Mc- Kinley. The strain of the last week was pict ured upon the faces of all who were connected with the administration of the late Chief Ex ecutive, as well as those to whom had been as signed a part in the last honors due the ruler of this country. President Roosevelt, who, with his brother-ln lew. Commander Cowles, of the navy, occupied the car Edgemere, retired before his train, which was the first section, reached Pittsburg at 11:55 o'clock. Attorney-General Knox left the train at Shadyside Station for a short stay at his home, and the car Olympia. bearing the late Presi dent's brother Abner, and family, was taken off here, to be taken by a later train to Somer set.

London, Sept. 19. — The torpedo boat destroyer Cobra has foundered in the North Sea, the re sult of an explosion. The ship was en route from the yard of her builders, the Armstrongs, of Newcastle, to Portsmouth. Corrected figures as to the Cobra show that she had seventy-nine souls on board. For sixty-seven no hope is held out; but torpedo boats and cruisers have gone at full speed to the scene of the disaster, which is the most serious '•>.'¦ r:.-itish navy has suffered since the sinking or! .« Victoria. Lie a tenant Bosworth Smith, the Cobra's com mander, stood upon the bridge with his arrr«j folded, as impassive as if on parade, and went down -with the vessel. • Five boats were launched after the Cobra struck, but some of them were swamped In the heavy sea which was running at the time. The first intimation of th«» disaster was the arrival of a fishing boat at Yarmouth, with six bodies which she had picked up in the vicinity of the spot where the Cobra was last seen. Ac cording to the fishermen, the Cobra was sighted by the lightship off Dowsing Sands yesterday morning, enveloped In steam, and she shortly afterward disappeared. The men on the llght phip supposed the Cobra had sailed away, until the evening, when they observed bodies floating in the water, and signalled to the fishing boat to investigate the disaster. A dispatch from Middleboro says that twelve nirvivors of the crew of the Cobra were landed there this morning, and confirms the first report that all the others were drowned. The British Admiralty has received Informa tion that the explosion occurred after the Cobra struck a rock, and that she sank immediately. The Cobra, like her sister boat, the Viper, was a turbine engined , vessel. She had just left the yard of her contractotrs, and was undergoing a boiler test. About one year ago the torpedo boat destroyer Cobra beat the record of the Viper, and won the title of the fastest vessel In the world. The record of the Viper, which was afterward wrecked, was forty-three miles an hour, while the Cobra, in an unofficial trial over the same course as that sailed by the Viper, at the mouth of the Tyne. made 37.7 knots, or 43.5 miles. The Cobra was an exact dupli cate Of the Viper, which was built by Hawthorne, Leslie & Co. GAS KILLS A GIRL. THE TOTING DAUGHTER. OF THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY OF WESTCHESTER STTF FOCATED DC A BROOKLYN HOUSE. Miss Florence Andrews, seventeen years old, daughter of George C. Andrews, District Attorney of Westch ester County, was found dead yesterday at the home of Mrs. R. E. Anthony. No. 373 Eaet Seventeenth-st.. Klatbu.«h. whom she was visiting. She retired to her room late on Wednesday night, and -was found dead in bed yeaterday morning in a room filled with gas. The burner of the chan delier Is fitted with a patent lighter, which ignites the gas with a spark by pulling a chain. It was thought that Miss Andrews was unfamiliar with this mechanism, and after turning the gas off had accidentally turned on one of the other jeu. The Andrews family live in Tarrytown. where the body was taken last night. It is said that there is absolutely no ground for a euspiclon of suicide, and that death was purely the result of a^rh cce cn r «idents of Tarry town were shocked to hear of the death of Miss Andrews. Tile first in formation was received in Tarrytown by telephone from Brooklyn by Dr. Bichard B. Coutant, who was asked to break the news to Miss Androwa's family This he did as gently as possible, and Mr. and Mrs. Andrews took the first train for thai city. DR. MACARTHFR THREATENED.

If you dare open your mouth again against anarchy or anarchists you will be the next to feel the assassin's dagger. Dr. Ma^Arthur said he did not remember the name attached to th« letter. , The aecond letter the clergyman said was vulgmr and profane. It called him several vile names and charged him with being worse than Czolgosz. "You deserve to meet the fate that awaits Czolgosz," was a part ot the letter. Dr. Mac Arthur believes the letter* were sent him by tome one who hoard hi* address on anarchy and anarchists a week ago last (Sunday. The doc tor-did not give the lettera to the police and at tached no f-lgnlftcane* to them. Hr said he was not of/aid. Both letters have been destroyed. •¦'¦>. NEW- YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. FRIDAY.

Sept. 2f\ 1 a. m— England yesterday received the news of disasters to her army and navy. The catastrophe at sea, involving the loss of sixty-seven lives and the wreck of the new torpedo boat destroyer Cobra, was a very seri ous affair Since the loss of her sister ship, th 3 Viper, which was wrecked in the English Chan nei durinpr the recent naval manoeuvres, the Cobra was tho fastest vessel in the world, and the only ship of the turbine class in the British navy. She ran on the rocka off the Lincoln shire coast in bad weather on Wednesday morn ing, while on her way from the contractors at Newcastle to Portsmouth, where she was to have been put In commission. Twelve men were saved. The story of the survivors is exceed ingly pathetic, and many tales of heroism are reported. The disaster to the army, of course, occurred In South Africa. Following his report of Wednesday night of the capture of a patrol 'n Cape Colony, Lord Kitchener announced last evening a much more serious reverse, the worst, indeed, for many weeks past, three companies Of mounted Infantry under Major Gough being utterly defeated by Botha south of Utrecht In the Transvaal. The British lost heavily, their casualties numbering two hundred. Qouffb himself seems to have been lucky in escaping, but three guns which he had with him were captured hy the Boers. Utrecht is only a few miles from Natal, and General Kitchener evi dently apprehends that Botha will attempt an invasion of that colony, as he states that he is reinforcing Lyttelton, who has within the present month taken over the command there. Rmuts's successful dash through the cordon French had drawn around him in Cape Colony Is regarded with misgivings in military circles. I. N. F. BRITISH REVERSES IX AFRICA.

When P. uro first met the man he did not know that he had me; a friend, but he was soon convinced. "Surely." he thought, "no one but a dear friend could be so effusively cordial and so sincerely pressing that I drink with him." "Have a drink with me." said the man; "me t'roat's dry's a dusty bone." I'luro could not resist the Invitation, and the two made their way by easy ptai?es to a saloon in East Broadway. There they had another in their series of drinks, and In paying for It Pluro showed a roll of bills amounting to about $70. The bartender was a tender hearted man. who could not bear to see a stranger robbed. He warned Pluro against displaying so much money In that part of the city. Pluro. being somewhat heated with the Bowery whiskey he had con sumed, did not take the warning- in friendly part. "What're you givln" me?" he demanded. "Do I look like a jay? Do you fink I don't know me way tun de Bowery? Hide me roll!" he exclaimed, with Indignation. "I d like tuh see de gazah what cd pinch me wad!" "Huh!" said the bartender. "You're a fresh guy fr'm de green hills, ain't yuh* De man what touched yuh w'd lose anyhow. Dem's pasters fr'm Minor's, dem is. Dere ain't no more of de real stuff der* dan a one specker fur a wrapper." Mr. Pluro's gorge rose against the bartender. "Cum out fr'm yer box an' pay dat!" he cried. "Cum out intuh de arena. Nuttin" here, ain't dcro?" "No," paid the bartender, leaning across the counter: "I'll bet yuh five (J re ain't a ten spot In de bunch." "Dere ain't, hey!" said Mr. Piuro. beginning to unwrap his money. "Nevuh mind." said the bartender, interrupting him. "None of dat game. Jest It your fren' strip de wad, den den won't be no sllppin' de real fing In." Mr. Pluro surrendered his money to his Bowery friend, and just then there was a great commotion at the back of the saloon. A man. who proclaimed himself a ¦ Central Office detective, burst through the door and. rushing up. grabbed Pluro's friend and declared that he was under arrest for aiding «rd betting gambling. He hustled the arrested man out of the saloon, while Pluro was held by the bartender until a certain number oi drinks were paid for. When Pluro got away the officer and his prisoner had disappeared and the bar irnder professed ignorance of the whole transac tion. Yesterday Pluro applied to Magistrate OlmstM in the Centre-st. court for help In recovering his money, and was referred by th 3 Magistrate to Cap tain Titus, of the Detective Bureau. Pluro, much to his surprise, was unable to find the detective who had made the arrest In the East Broadway saloon among Captain Tltus's force. THE SCHLEY COFRT <>F INQUIRY.
