FRANCE AND RUSSIA.
The Result of De Giers'
Sojourn in Paris.
A Defensive Alliance Formally
Agreed Upon.
Diplomatic Warfare Waged Against
the Dreibnnd and England.
Actual War Postponed Till a store Pro
pitious Period—Russia Officially
Acknowledges the
Entente.
Associated Prws Diioatches.
London, Nov. 27. —[Copyrighted by the
New York Associated Press.]— The first
authentic information conveying the re
sultofDeGiera'sojourn in Paris reached
the foreign office through the British
embaasay in Berlin. De Giers com
municated to Emperor William and
Caprivi a clear explanation, of the con
ferences held in Paris, and the character
of the Rusao-French entente. Djubtlesa
the czar instructed his minister to make
these declarations, in view of having
not only the German but other inter
ested governments learn the nature of
the compact between Russia and France.
According to a semi-official state
ment, based on De Giers' declara
tions, the recent interview with
President Carnot, DeFreycinet and Ri
bot, reaulted in a definite agreement for
an exclusively defensive alliance.
The entente agreed upon, according
to the statement quoted, differs on one
of the most essential points from tbe
triple alliance, inaamuch that while that
makes the European status quo the
basis of the maintenance of peace, the
Ruaso-Franco entente aims at what De
Giers haa called "respect for treaties."
meaning especially the restoration of
Russia's grip on Bulgaria, and British
evacuation of Egypt. The differences
on these features of the situation are
not in the meantime to be k regarded aa
constituting danger of war, aa both the
Russian and French governments desire
to assure a strict application of the ex
isting treaties by pacific means.
De Giers farther communicated the
fact that no treaty had yet been signed,
and intimated that the French minis
ters desire the concluding of a formal
contract, aa alone properly defining fu
ture responsibilities, and rendering it
possible to pursue a distinct policy be
fore Europe, while at tbe same time
avoiding; the reproach of cherishing war
like designs. Tbe sum of these official
assurances; from the Berlin embassy is
that the Paris conferences resulted in a
lehetne to maintain a diplomatic war
fare against the' dreibund and England,
awaiting a more propitious period for
engaging in actual war.
De Giers's communications assume
first importance, not for what they dis
close co much aa because f hey constitute
the first official admission of the Rus
sian government to the powers, that a
Rnaeo-French alliance lias really been
arranged.
Lord Salisbury went to Windsor to
night, to place before tiie queen certain
dispatches, and it is surmised they ate
those which refer to the entente. •
CAPR-IYI'S UTTERANCES.
The Chancellor I'rofeeie* Confidence In
the Czar* I'aclflc Intention*.
Bkkmn, Nov. 27.—Charfcellor Yon
Caprivi was present at the session of the
Reichstag this morning, and in a speech
referred to the rumors that he intended
to resign as being ridiculous. Yon
Caprivi refuted the reproaches uttered
against the government on account of
the so-called vacillating policy. He said
tbe kaiser's journey to Russia estab
lished friendly intercourse between the
two monarchs, but no political matters
were discussed between them. The
presß indulged in too much trumpeting
iv regard to the visit of the French fleet
at t Irons tad t. The position of France
and Russia toward the driebund was
not changed. All that happened at
Cronstadt was that the existing condi
tion 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 a
position to make its will prevail. Its
increased confidence in the French con
stituted no danger to Germany.
Referring to the state of general ar
mament Europe, the chancellor said
this would continue much longer, unin
fluenced by tbe resolves adopted by the
peace congress. It was, however a mat
ter of satisfaction that tbe general pre
paredness for war had increased the de
sire for peace.
In East Africa Germany still had a
long task to fulfill. She had been
obliged to have recourse to the doubtful
plan of a lottery; but Germany's pos
sessions in Africa were ten times more
important than those of England, with
which nation Germany had not made a
bad bargain.
He said the abolition of compulsory
passports in Alsace-Lorraine had been
regarded as an act of weakness; but the
continuance of that system as a perma
nency was impossible. The assimila
tion of the Reichsland witb Germany
waß progressing surely. The best con
necting link waa the army. After a few
generations the Reichsland question
would be settled. There was no cause
for uneasiness on account of the army.
The world's habit of estimating the
worth of an army according to its num
bers, was wrong. Germany never before
possessed so many capable military lead
ers, and no other nation had such
chances for the next war.
Referring to the movements of troops
on the Russian and French frontiers,
the chancellor said Germany, as well as
Austria, had in this respect probably
exceeded their duty. Too much anxiety
prevailed because Russia had dispatched
an army corps to a place aa near the
German frontier aa Coblentz waa to the
Russian frontier. The newspapers, more
over, ought to be better employed than
in alarming their readers by publishing
reports calculated to interfere with com
merce and damaging to the country.
The chancellor, referring to his jour
ney to Russia with Emperor William,
aaid he knew the interview between the
two emperors had given great satisfac
tion to Russia. Nothing, he said, could
shake hia convictions that the personal
intentions of the czar were the most pa
cific in the world. "No existing govern
ment," be said, "has sufficient military
preponderance 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 tbe Cronstadt
meeting had she doubted that Rueaia
waa strong enough to be relied upon."
The British Cattle Embargo.
London, Nov. 27.—[Copyrighted by the
New York Associated Press.J —since Sec
retary Rusk reported in favor of exclud
ing Engliah live stock unless the restric
tions in landing American cattle at
British porta be removed, the British
farming societies have actively discussed
the subject. The balance of the opinion
of live stock dealera distinctly support
the attitude of Chairman Chaplin, of
the board of agriculture, on the subject.
runners' journals are giving peom
iuence to announcements of recent out
breaks of pleuro-pneumonia in New
Jersey, with a view to enforcing the
argument that before the United Statea
government can legally claim admission
to American cattle, it must satisfy the
British government that pleuro-pneu
monia is so extirpated that no cases
have occurred in twelve months in any
part of tbe union.
A Transatlantic/Steamship Pool.
London, Nov.27.—[Copyrighted by the
New York Associated Press.] —The chief
transatlantic steamehip companies, Ger
man, Dutch and French, and the Red
Star company, have signed an agreement
for pooling the trade of conveying steer
age and 'tween deck passengers. The
object ot the arrangement is to diminish
competition, which.it is stated, has long
been pushed past the point where profit
could accrue.
FRESH COMPLICATIONS.
A POSSIBILITY OF FURTHER DIS
ORDER IN BRAZIL.
The People of Rio Grande Not Even Sat
isfied With Foasoca'a Deposal— Peix
otto Appeals to the Inhabitants to
Cease Fighting—Yellow Fever in Rio.
London, Nov. 27.—The Santiago cor
respondent of the Times says the peo
ple of the province of Rio Grande think
the changes arising from the deposition
of Fonseca are not radical enough, and
complications are feared.
New York, Nov. 27. —The Herald's
Rio de Janeiro cable says: President
"eivotto haa issued a manifesto appeal
ing to the people of Rio Grande to cease
all further revolutionary proceedings.
He assures all Brazilians that the resig
nation of Fonseca will result in a benefit
to the country. He promises to reduce
the national expenses, and re-establish
the credit of Brazil. The navy and
army officials were centering today to
devise moans for the preservation of
order throughout the republic. The
military tribunal has issued a
proclamation guaranteeing to protect
the life of Fonseca. Newspaper offices
that support Fonseca have been at
tacked by a mob. There are seventy
cases of yellow fever here daily. Dr.
Assiz, president of the late provisional
junta of Rio Grande, has been ap
pointed governor of that state. It can
safely be said that the revolution in
Brazil is at an end. The president has
auuounced tho successful completion of
a reciprocity treaty with the Argentine
republic.

London, Nov. 27.—The Chronicle's
correspondent at Tien-Tsin telegraphs

Elsewhere it ia feared the story ia true.
The revolution ia spreading in tbe north.
The Mongolian rebela are advancing

Austria and the Papacy.
Vienna, Nov. 27. —At the aeasion of
tbe Austrian delegation today, Herr
Zollinger, having raised the question of
papai Independence, Count Kalnoky re
plied that inasmuch as a majority of the
Auatrians and Hungarians were Catho
lics, the government of Auatro-Hungary
waa anxious that the pope should be
completely independent. At tbe rame
time the alliance with Italy forms the
basis of their policy, and tbe question of
tbe pope's sovereignty could not be
raised by Auatria without wounding
Italy's feelinga.

Stolen Son.
A Ransom of $5000 Paid for
the Child.
The Woman Who Abducted the
Infant Arrested.
The Police Looking; for Her Two Male
Accomplices—The Parents Over-
Joyed at the Restoration of
Their Darling'
Associated Press Dispatches.
Kansas City, Nov. 27.—The house-,
hold of David T. Beals, the banker,
which was turned into the abode of
grief yeaterday by the abduction of his
2-yoar-old son, was tonight transformed
into one of gladnesß, the child being re
covered. Thia afternoon, as related
elsewhere, Mr. Beals offered a reward of
$5000 for the return of the child, and no
queations asked. All day today the
police worked every possible avenue,
but could find no clue, and parents were
nearly prostrated, neither having taken
any rest since the child disappeared.
Tonight a man presented him
self at the mansion. He wag
dressed like a day laborer, and wore
a false face and a wig. When Beals
came to tbe door the man told him he
waa a detective; that he had found the
abductreaa, Lizzie Smith, or King, and
her accomplices; they demanded $20,
--000 raneom and he waa prepared to de
liver the child for that amount.
Beala declined to pay the su m, and
stuck to his original offer of $5000.
After much parleying it was finally
agreed that the "detective" would de
liver tbe child for tbat amount.
Beals told the police that he had
pledged his honor that the man should
not be arrested while engaged in carry
ing out bis part of the contract, and
ordered them not to interfere.
At 10 o'clock tonight the man re
turned with the child, and handed it
over upon receipt of $5000 in bank notes.
Tbe child was sleeping soundly, safe
and well. The joy of the parents knew
no bounds.
When a representative of the Associ
ated Press arrived at the house, the
child waa awake and in the arms of his
father, while the mother stood by fond
ling him. The child, when asked who
carried him away, said: "Lizzie;" but
all he knew further was that he had
been "riding." '
Mrs. King, the abductress, was ar
rested about midnight, but refuses to
talk. She had been in Beals' house
hold but a week, having' answered an
advertisement for a waitress, giving the
name Lizzie Smith. From the talk of
other servants, it is gathered that she
led a fast life in aeveral western cities,
having come originally fiom Illinois.
The uoliee today learned that she had
been living with a man calling himself
Albert King, in a cottage on Lydia ave
nue. They passed as man and wife and
another man lived with them. They
rented the cottage a short time ago and
furniahed it on the installment plan. It
was through the notes they were traced.
King haa not yet been found. There is
no doubt that ho ia the accomplice of
the woman in the abduction plo r , per
haps tbe originator of it. It is not
known if the other man, who haa also
not been found, had anything to do with
it or not.
Late tonight it was learned that the
police caught tbe woman in a house in
Park avenue. She said she went on the
veranda Thursday evening to get a
paper, when two men rushed up, thrust
a revolver in her face and ordered her to
get the boy. She waa thoroughly
frightened and did ao. Then the men
carried her to a carriage, drove her
about for some timo nnd then turned
her adrift. The police declare that the
story is too thin. From papers found
they learued that she haa recently been
in Denver, and tbat King, who passed
for her husband, was released from the
penitentiary in Colorado last summer,
after a five yeara' term for horse-ateal
ing. The Denver police say both are
well-known crooks.

TO OUST BRICE
Republicans of Ohio Bent on Stealing a
Seat lv the Senate.
Columbus, 0., Nov. 27.—At a meeting
of the state Republican central commit
tee, tonight, held to consider whether
any step should be taken'to teat the
eligibility of Calvin S. Brice to the
United States senatorship, on the ground
that he ia not a resident of Ohio, a let
ter waa read from Senator Sherman,
stating tbat Briee'a certificate from the
I governor would probably be considered
prima facie evidence of his title to the
seat. This, however, did not determine
the right to the seat if it could be shown
that he waa not an inhabitant of the
state. In his judgment, the only way
to institute an inquiry would be by a
joint reeolutionof the general assembly.
The majority of the speeches were
against action being taken by tbe com
mittee, tbe claim being made that Brice
had established the point of citizenship.
A resolution was adopted authorizing
Judge Nash of Columbus, to make an
investigation of the evidence bearing
upon Brice's eligibility, and report to
the committee.
