The Final Council.
Pi'.tn Rn > or. AOBNOV , Dak. , ( vlaRushvlllo ,
Neb. ) Juno 29. [ Special Telegram to Tun
BEE. ] At the final council with the Indians
td-uny General Crook expressed his regret
that the bill had' failed to meet 'their appro
bation , nnd in substance said :
"I know when wo are gone many things
will bo said nnd all kinds of stories will bo
( ) told and much feeling will bo exhibited
against those who have signed the bill , but
they will bo protected and-shnll not bo per
secuted. It will not bo allowed. The com
mission has bcon hero longer than
- expected , but In leaving you
wo feel n satisfaction that wo
* have done our duty in endeavoring to explain
the bill carefully to you. There is no ono
who has como to us but what wo have faith
fully done this. Some of the principal chiefs
htwo said they understood thu bill , but they
have refused to sign it. Their reason for
this wo do not know , but there Is a great
responsibility resting upon thorn , for as sure
< ns thby changed their lives ten years
\ ngo they must change again , and
( the change in the future must be
t greater than in the past. The
government will not continue to feed you in
\ idleness. You will bo more likely to receive
1 " rations longer if you show n disposition to
' { ( work and improve yourselves than if you do
) cot. Men who nro chiefs and live in the
past cannot keep their positions. They must
kccu up with the advancement of the trlbo
or bo loft like driftwood along the banks of
the stream. Thu Influential men of the tribe
will bo those who keep with the advance
toward civilization and prosperity.
We bnvo no feeling against those
who did not sign and will leave
the bill with your agent so all that may de
sire to sign In the future may do so. "
After General Crook had finished Colonel
Gallagher briefly addressed them , saying :
"Tbo commission are through with their
work hero and will leave to-day. I .have
taken no port in this work , but have loft it
to the commission , so you could do as you
wished In reference to the bill. I fool that
when the government sent mo hero us your
ngont it was my duty to instruct you in
everything that was right and to your bene
fit. So in the present case I feel it my
duty to tell you that it Is the
duty of every Indian having his
own welfare and the prosperity
of his race at heart to coma forward and
sign this bill. I shall make no difference In
my treatment between those who sign and
those who do not. The government will cer
tainly favor those who tried to aid its wishes
nnd go forward and better their condition
against those who did not. The government
docs not wish to take anything from you
without pay. If you had a hundred times the
amount .of land as now you would
bo no better off than now. If the
same proposition was made to white
men It would bo accepted gladly and without
hesitation. The government must bo sur
prised , oven with your limited knowledge ,
that you do not take advantage of Its liberal
proposition. It is liable to decide in the future
turo that you had knowledge qnougu to un.
dorstand this plain and liberal bill. So it
jivlll not bo necessary to consult you in tht
"
"future. This commission has presented this
bill in a fair and kindly manner and not trice
to force you to sign. They came to you as
friends and tried to advise you to do
what was right. If they hnvo falloe
it must bo your fault. Among the whitei
every bill is loft to a majority. If that wai
the rule hero the bill would Do carried , as t
majority of all voters has signed. But yout
treaty of 1SGS says three-fourths must slgi
in the division und sale of your land. I spcal
to you as a friend , having only your good a !
heart. You wlo | intend to sign the bill tnaj
como forward and sign before the commis
sion gees away , Those who do not may llvi
to bo sorry , and those who do will live tc
thank me , Tlio government and commission
have done it , "
An Invitation was extended to any fndlai
who wished to speak , and was promptly ac
copied by American Horse , who made a loffg
powerful and sensational speech , Ip con
elusion ho wished the commission to leavi
tbo alotuiont alone. If the Grout Fathoi
would do this all would sign , but under m
circumstances did his people wish severally
now. "I urn n man and speak openly. I ait
willing to soil this laud now and usi
my own judgment as to whether '
am right or wrong. 1 may bo blamed by m ;
peopio because I am doing what I think i :
my duty , but wo will depend upon each
other's judgment when wo know the wishes
of my Great Father , I shall say oponl.y in
the sunlight , so everyone can see mo , and ]
want the treaty to bo fair and plain as the
daylight In which I sign , "
American Horse then called for the pen
and in thopresoneoof the council signed tin
bill. ThU produced a sensation amen (
the assembled hundreds , Aftoi
signing ho requested to keep the pen will
Which ho had signed. The request wa :
granted with complimentary remarks bj
General Crook and Major Warner. He thoi
continued by saying that his people had i
petition to the Great Father , through tin
commission , praying the governmen
to give them a patent lor lane
of theirs loft uftor taking their land
in severally. General Crook stated tha
the commission hud seen the petltloi
and would favorably recommend it. Amor
lean Horse Immediately begged Three Stan
to sign the petition , which ho did , followed
by Major Waruer nnd ColoTioi Gallagher
The signing was greeted with the wlldosi
enthusiasm an'd applause by the Indians.
Little Wound followed in u bitter speed
against the bill , to which Major Warner re
plied , refuting many points stated by Little
'
Wound.
After the council an issue of nluetj
jeovcs was gi 6n and the Immense number
of Indians , who have bcon camped hero for
, ho past two weeks , began to leave for their
lomoa. Up to the time the commission loft
533 signatures had bcon obtained.

MINNEAPOLIS , Juno 29. A sensational land
tltlo suit is nbout to bo instituted hero ,
which involves $1,000,000'worth of property
In the heart of the city. Upon it Is situated
the Minneapolis chamber of commerce's
magnificent stone building. Attorney Brown ,
In looking over some musty old records ro-
cnntly , found what ho conceived to bo a flaw
In the tltlo running back to the year 1855 ,
before the town was platted. He , with other
capitalists who nro backing him , has recently
secured quit claim deeds , and will now pro
secute the claim for all there Is in it. It Is
snld that other valuable land in the vicinity
is also Involved. The chamber of commerce
people are totally oblivious to what is going
on. Neither President Lorlng nor Secretary
Sturtovant could bo found this afternoon ,
but It is learned that whllo the building was
being constructed a flaw in the tltlo was dis
covered and work was suspcnde.d for some
time. It was supposed nt the time that
everything had bcon straightened out ,
TUOUBIjK AT DRtiAGOA BAY.
Portucuoao DeatroylnR the Unllrond
nnel Forcijjncrs Alarmed.
LoN OJf , Juno 29. A dispatch from Del
agoa bay reports a serious stata of affairs
there arising from the railway troubles. A <
portion of the railway has boon destroyed by
the Portugueso. The English engineer who
tried to defend the works was fired upon.
Foreign residents are greatly alarmed and
nro crowding to the British consulate for
protection. The Portuguese have placed
the British interpreter under arrest and the
English residents demand his release.
The Standard , commenting on the resolu
tion adopted by the shareholders of the
Dclagoa Bay railway company yesterday ,
blames them for imprudence. It urges that
it will bo useless to force Portugal to fulfill
her concession to the company , and thinks
that Portugal should merely bo compelled to
return the money the company had ex
pended and pay an indemnity for the damage
it had caused at Delagoa Bay. It says Lis
bon must bo blockaded , if that step is neces
sary , to obtain justice.
The Times is in favor of forcing Portugal
to fulfill the concession.
The report received from Durban by the
Chronicle that the Portuguese decree can
celling the concession had been rescinded-is
not confirmed.
At a cabinet council to-day it was decided
to send additional warships to Delagoa bay.
WASHINGTON , June 23. The department of
state has received Information of the concsl-
Ing by Portugal of the concession granted
the Delagoa Bay Railroad company , but has
no Information of serious trouble in consequence
quence of the action of the Portuguese gov
ernment.
A SHORTER COURSE
Recommended by the Annapolis
Board of Visitors.
WASHINGTON , Juno 29. The report of the
board of visitors to the , naval academy at
Annapolis recommends that the academic
course bo reduced from six to four years and
the cadels bo commissioned as ensigns. It
also recommends that it should bo required
by law that the designation of persons for
appointment and their alternates bo made
ono year in advance , which is practicable.
The board also recommends that the maxi
mum limit of age for oatranco bo nineteen
instead of twenty years.
Snbbnth Breaking Fined.
CINCINNATI , Juno 29. A. A. Ttorn , presi
dent of the Cincinnati base ball club , was
fined ? 20 and costs to-day for permitting a
game of base ball last Sunday , It was urged
that there was no disorder , but "the judge
held that it was. done for money , and was
therefore a violation of law. Judge Ermaton
decided tbo case ngainst John Ledoror , of
the Atlantic Garden , who was charged with
keeping his saloon ooon on Sunday , and who
made the defense that ho conducted a res
taurant business also , nnd that on Sunday
ho closed the bar und kept open the restau
rant only. The jndga held that it was nec
essary to close the establishment in order to
comply with the law.
Colored Colonists for Mexloo.
ST. Louis , Juno 29. A dispatch from the
city of Mexico says two colored emigration
commissioners from Tox'ni have arrived
there to consult with tbo government offi
cials in regard to procuring land for n largo
colony of colored cotton raisers from Texas.
Ono of the commissioners said if satisfactory

ernment for land that a colony of at least
ton thousand parsons would soon bo in
Mexico.

yesterday at his homo near Plattsburg.
Brown saw the killing of Irvine Tabor by
Joseph Chaplcan , and at the inquest denied

LONDON , Juno 20. fNow York Herald
Cable Special to THE BEI : . ] The sky has
of late been so very clear at name and the
weather so unnaturally calm that acute ob
servers bnvo felt morally certain that a
storm was brewing soinowhoro. Never did
any ministry have a longer run of good luck
than the present , and In domestic affairs
that luck is likely to continue. The hopes of
Gladstonians that It would make some fatal
mistake ; that it would trip itself up or bo
tripped up ; that a dissolution of parliament
would bo forced upon it these have nil been
abandoned now. From the grand old man
downwards it seems , and it is ndmlttod , that
parliament will run Its usual course * and
that the unionists' alliance will remain in
vincible , at any rate until it is subjected to. ,
the test of another general election. But
when all is going on wjll is the tinio to look
out for a reverse or a shock. Three differ
ent clouds have arisen "upon the horizon
which may lead to serious mischief , and I
would advise your readers to keep their eyes
upon them until they disperse or burst.
The first hangs over Egypt. The English
nowsuapcrs as a rule have dismissed very
lightly the notion of Franco in refusing
consent to the conversion of the preference
debt until England fixes a day for with
drawal from Egypt. But it is no light mat
ter. It indicates a temper which might at
any moment precipitate n crisis. It may
oven indicate a more settled intention to pro
duce a crisis whenever an opportunity
serves. That the English have no right f >
bo in Egypt is certainly the final ballet of
the French government and the French
people. II is pretty wall understood that
General Boulanger intends to call upon her
to go when , if over , ho reaches power. There
are those who think that the present govern
ment proposes to forestall him in his move.
Tbo curd is the best trump out , and Presi
dent Carnet intends to play it. But every
thing must wait until the exhibition is over ,
for it would not do to divert the shower of
gold which is now raining down upon ,
Franco. Preliminary steps may , however
bo taken , and this recent avowal on the part
of Franco must bo looked upon ns the first
warning cloud.
The second will bo found over Armenia.
Under the treaty of Berlin , of which Lord
Salisbury was ono of the authors , the pre
servation of order in Armenia was thought
to bo guaranteed. Turkey undertook to per-
term a certain distinct obligation , and the
other powers were pledged to see that ho
carried out this understand Ing. But Turkey
has allowed the most diabolical outrages to
bo committed In Armenia and lifted no
finger to prevent them. A million of Christian
peoplp , as Lord Carnarvon told tbo house of
lords on Friday , are bolus ; ground down by
misery and opuression. Men are put to
death in the most barbarous manner ; women
nro carried off or subjected to the most horrible -
riblo cruelties , and still Turkey lopks on
with a smile , and the great powers , England
especially , are being made indirectly ac
complices in these frightful outrages , for it
must bo remembered that there is a special
Anglo-Turkish convention in oxistanco
which binds Turkey to protect her Christian
subjects against the very scoundrels Kurds
and Circassians who are desolating Ar
menia. Lord Salisbury entered into that
convention , which does not sivo it from being -
ing openly violated under his very eyes.
It is improbable chat the English paoplo will
tolerate this state of things much lonzor.
But oven'if they were dlsposefl to do so
there is another power which will certainly
interfere , and that power is Russia. The
treaty of Berlin has been contemptuously
sot aside by Turkey. Russia may find in
that a plausible , nay , oven n just and strong
ground , for intorforenco. Sao iniy roiuiro
England to put an end to those crimes in Ar
menia or insist upon doing It horaolf. In the
latter case England must either stand pas
sively by and see a coup do graco'infllatod on
the sick man of Europe or she must go to
war to save Turkey. The Crimaan war will
never bo repeated. There is still another
fact to bo considered. Franco is baliovo J to
have a very thorough undardUndlug wilh
llussin. Both powers contemplate English
occupation of T3gypt with the sama oyos. At
any moment such pressure could bo brought
to bear upon England us would leave her no
alternative but to retreat from Egynt
under prouura or 11 'Ut. A nma serious -
rious situation can scarcely bo conceived.
Of course it may all blow over , as so many
other threatening complications have blown
over during the last three years. The great
European powers ore so armoJ to tlio teeth
und so strong that each is afraid to begin.
But there are very curious signs of instant
preparation in Russia , Lord Salisbury says
ho will not admit that England Is responsible
for the preservation of order in any part of
the Turkish dominions , yet the treaty of
Berlin and the Anglo-Turkish convention in-
fercnllally made her so , Russia may hold
her to accountability. Many great wars have
been waged hero with infinitely loss excuse ,
Lord Salisbury urges parliament to trust to
the slow action of time and to the exertions
of missionaries. But suppose Russia declines
to wait for time , or oven for missionaries. If
she is ready to strike , she will do so. If she
does not strike , it will merely bo because she
Is not ready.
Then there U this now trouble about the
Dalagoa Bay railway , concerning which dis
patches from Lisbon warn us that serious
diplomatic difficulties nro likely to arise. The
dispatch of nn English gun boat to Dolagoa
bay U not likely to ell the wheels of tbo diplo
matic machine , The Portugese government
has broken faith with the company In which
English and some American capltol is sunk ,
and the widow o * Colonel MoMurdo , an Amer
ican gentleman who obtained the original
cession for the railway , hijs feood cause for
complaint. There is nowamuch curiosity
foil as to the course to 1bo taken by the
United States govcrntnontj 'Because ono of
Its citizens sold n certain boncosslon , It docs
not follow that It cliould 'interfere ' for the
protection of the purchaser. Caveat emptor
is a good enough motto for governments to
stand by if they nro so Inclined. The report
that an American giinpoat was to bo sent to
Join the British vossol'at , Dolagoa bay was at
least premature , but almost any development
may arise out of tbo tntiRlo Into which wo nil
got over this business , i Thus you will see
that public affairs are hot quite so devoid of
interest as some poopif ] Imagine.

PAIIIS , Juno 29. | New York Herald Cable
Special to Tun Bi'.n.l The weather con
tinues warm and bright , with light easterly
breezes. Clouds gather now and then , just
enough to frighten peopio into carrying um
brellas. The barometer this afternoon was
79 degrees Fahrenheit. ThoBolsdo Boulogne
B still as full as over of smart turnouts ,
nnd the uverago dully attendance at the ex
hibition Is over 100,000. Paris scarcely shows
signs of coming to an end , although for the
first tnno this year I noticed sovcral straw
hats on the verandas of the Jocky club , and
these are to watering places what swallows
nro to summer.
The parliamentary atmosphere is heavily
charged with electricity , but there has
been no real storm yet. The sitting
last night was a very lively ouo and fur
nished once again an additional proof of the
alliance existing between the right and the
Boulanglsts. M. Pichon was brought face
to fuco with an interpellation addressed to
the keeper of seals In reference to the dis
closures made during the Meyer trial
of the efforts of the Boulanglsts
to procure supposed compromising eloctt-
ments from that absconding stock broker. In
accordance with parliamentary customs the
minister declared that ho was at the orders
of the chamber , which decided to wind the
affair off the rcol at once.
Mr. Thenovct accordingly went into the
history of the Yvnn do Woestyne-Moyer
correspondence , the members of the left
vigorously applauding every phrase which
tola against the right. When the minister
quoted Jacques Meyer , M. do Cassagnac
called out that the evidence of a man who
had been condemned for embezzlement was
worth'nothing.
' WbestyliWword fva3notc"bf 'any greateT
value.
So the ctcbato wont on for so mo time
longer , the subject under discussion being
really of very little general interest. Finally
Thovonet introduced Arthur Meyer's name ,
stating that ho had an intention of entering
inio his relations with Jacques Myers.
The conservative deputbs protested
att this , Do Cassagnao making himself
prominent by assorting that Trevcnet had
been a c6nfcderato of Jacques Meyer in the
whole affair , which had simply boon batched
up by the police to injure the right.
When invited by the president to retract or
repeat what ho had said , the editor of Auto-
rite refused to do tha former , and his expul
sion from the chamber was accordingly
voted by n majority of half the members of
the right , and nil the Boulanglsts present
loft/tho loft meanwhile applauding.
After this incident the chamber , or all that
was loft of it , discussed the question
whether it would bo advisable to prosecute
persons who had sougtit to bribe Jacques
Meyer , it being finally decided by 303 votes
against nothing that such u course would bo
advisable.
After this the house resumed the debate
on the colonial estimates and budget of
finances , the majority of articles being
uasscd without discussion.
The Rico d1 Alger was in n state of excite
ment this morning at half past 7 o'clock ,
when neat little boures were out for their
bread and morning milk. They made a long
stay to see the Americans preparing to start.
After a substantial early breakfast the boys
came out und strapped their haversacks upon
their steel steeds. During the operation a
waiter from the hotel had boon round for n
largo bundle of Heralds , which were rushed
for by the "cyclists. At 8 o'clock Fluott
called as usual :
"Aro you ready ! Prepare to start. "
Mr. Hlggins , with his musical voice ,
shouted :
"Wait. I have a word to say , boys. What's
the matter with the Paris edition of the Now
York Herald. "
"That's all right , " replied the boys in
chorus , nnd followed their reply with hearty
cheers. When asked If they had enjoyed
their stay in the French capital , the Amer
icans , ono and nil , replied :
"Yes. If a man cannot enjoy himself in
Paris ho Is not fit to live. "
Many of them would fain have remained
longer , but the itlnery is prepared and all
arrangements made in advance , seaway
away they vvcnt , en route for
Geneva. They breakfasted at Mclun
and arrived a little later at Fontainobloau ,
where thov will rest to-morrow , visiting its
wonderful forests and environs ,

LONDON , Juno 20. [ Now York Herald
Cnblo-Spcclnl to TUB Dun. ] The Field com-
mcntlng on the controversy over the refusal
of the Royal Yacht squadron to recognize
the now deed gift says : "The refusal of the
Royal Yacht squadron to bo u party to the
schema for foisting the ne.v deed of gift on
the world of sport has had a depressing ef
fect on the managing committee of the Now
York Yacht club , Indeed they appear to bo
qulto dazed by the refusal and seem Incapa
ble of giving any Intelligible account of the
provisions of the now dood. All the surviv
ing donor can say about the matter is that
the principal point in view In Its adoption
was to adopt It to the changed condition In
respect to the Increased slzo of yachts built
for racing. This roads i-omnrkably
like n statement not In accordance
with facts. Has the surviving
donorf orgotton that the ilrst two challenges
for the American cup wcro made by the
owner of the O nmbrla , 200 tons , and the
Lmonln , SSI tons , and that no yacht approaching
preaching those In size has since competed
for the CUD. The surviving donor says ho
can see no objection to the now deed. Wo
nro not surprised at this , If all he can say In
its favor is that the yachts which .compete
for the cup have Increased in slxo. General
Pal ho Is also supposed to have had some
hand in drawing up the provisions of the
now deed , and Is said.to have approved the
ton months notice on the ground that Amer
icans ( that Is himself ) were put to soiuo inconvenience -
convenience in producing a suttnt > lo yacht to
defend the cup against the Gonosta. Galatea
and the Thistle with only six months notice.
This is all very well , nnii wo heartily sympa
thize with General Paine and ndmlro his
boldness and judgment in producing two
such vessels ns the Mayflower and the
Volunteer , and no less do wo admire the
same spirit exhibited by Malcolm Forbes in
building the Krritnn , but General Paine
appears to have temporarily lost sight alto
gether of the challenging party In his refer
ence to the now decd'whilst dwelling on the
ten months notice. It is nil very well to
make a general statement that the now dead
is fair and sportsmanlike , but such general
statements do not answer the specific objec
tions to the deed which wore raised on its
ilrst appearance , and which every yachts
man on this side of the atlnntio nud many on
the other side have roitciutcd.

Cable Special to Tuu Due. | It has Just
leaked out bore tnat a company or syndicate
is being formed In London for the purpose of
buying up the principal dry goods Interests
in the chief American cities. Full details
are not yet obtainable and will not bo proba

*
more nearly perfected. From all that could
bo ascertained , the intention Is to get control
of the dry goods trade in America in a man
ner something similar to thai in which the
brewing businesses. being , bought , "as It is
well known tbu't tiio ' amount of' money in
England seeking investment in en

good and some bad , arc being advertised and
exploited in London and other English cities.
Many of these schemes' uro American , either
in conception or in Hold of operation , or
both. ' Many thousands of pounds of English
capital are being put into companies which
have less promise of prollt than has this one ,
which is being formed to control the Ameri

certainly whether the company will bo or
ganized on the cloao corporation plan or
whether stock subscription books will bo

CHICAGO , Juno 29. The question of the an
nexation to Chicago of thu closely adjoining
suburbs of Hyde Park , Lake , Lakoview ,
Cicero and Jefferson was voted on to day ,
The campaign which has boon con
ducted for several weeks past was u spirited
one , and .both sides have been making
a tremendous struggle. The antis were gen
erally headed by the prcsqnt onico holders in
the suburban governments , who made a
bitter fight ngainst coming into the city.
Wlillo tno ofllclal vote from all points has
not yet been announced , there is no room for
doubt , from the figures received ,
that all the suburbs have been car
ried by the annexation is ts. The various
towns bring Into Chicago nn additional popu
lation of nearly 200,000 , bringing the total up
to the probably 1,100 000. Tbo territory an
nexed will Rive Chicago a total area ( approx
imately estimated ) of nbout 174
square miles , making it the largest
city in area , in the United Statos.
all of the towns annexed arc built up thickly
radiating from the old city limits. A person
umicquaintcd with the boundary lines would
be unublo to distinguish where the suburbs
began ,
The democratic political leaders in Chicago
feel rather gloomy to-night over the
outcome of the election , Luke View
and Hide Park contain the largest
part of the now population and
those places have always returned very
largo and tiresome republican majorities on
election days. With these places enrolled
with Chicago , the ascendancy of the demo
cratic bosses Is a thing of the past , as the
city will bo hopelessly republican.

BKIIMN , Juno 29. Count Kulnoky's spaecb ,
expressing confidence m the Intentions of
the Servian ro.jonoy , has tended to alloy the
alarm which Emparor Francis Joseph's
speech produced. The cordial references of
both to Bulgaria nro regarded ns'an answer
to tfio czar's toast to the prince of Montenp-
gro. The notes exchanged between Austria ,
Germany , Italy and England on the question
of recognizing Prince Ferdinand , show that
while there is no dcslro to press the mutter ,
no objection will bo offered. Turkey's .de
pends upon that of the other powers ; but
apart from Russia's opposition , tlio recogni
tion of Ferdinand can hardly bo made au
fait accompli while Prlnco Bismarck shows
so little interest in Bulgaria's ' fate.
The Sllcslan Gazette goes to the length of
asserting that even should a war result from
Russian occupation of Bulgaria nnd the de
mand for the evacuation of Bosnia by Aus
tria , Germany would not fool obliged to as
sist Austria In the struggle , as the conven
tion relative to the occupation of Bosnia and
Hor/.ogovinia was made with Germany's
consent.
The Colocrno Gazette , referring to-Turkey's
rejection of Russia's overtures for a conven
tion to ensnare Turkish neutrality in ease of
war , dwells on the expediency of Turkey's
joining the triple alliance , which it says is a
further check on Russian aggressive
schemes.
West Prussian papers report that the Rus
sian troops along the Gorman Tranter are
being strongly reinforced.
The National Zeltung , in an artlcnl headed
"England and Her Rivals , " ably reflects the
feeling hero in the failure of the Egyptian
conversion scheme. It argues that sluco
Russia is pushing her frontier evur eastward
in Central Asia , the security of Suez canal
has become most important for England ,
who is less inclined than over to evacuate
Egypt or share her dominion there with any
power. Therefore , all tno materials are
ready to hand for a Franco-Russian coalition
against England , forcing her to become an
informal member of the Central European
peace league.

The North German Gazette continues to
make daily attacks on the Swiss govern
ment , though the incident is practically
ended with the disavowal of the Wuhlco-
muth article. The Hamburger Nnchrichten
is admittedly acaling with the question
from an accderaio and theoretic point .of
view , hue iiouo the loss is attracting much
attention. It discusses the partition of
Switzerland between Franco , Ger
many and Italy as a solution
of the question , and says this
would greatly contribute toward tbo chances
of peace by bringing the German and Italian
frontiers in direct contact with the St. Goth-
ard railway and compensating Franco for
the loss of Alsace-Lorraine. The liberal
press shows no sympathy with the 'official
attacks on tbo Swiss government , which
have already Injured the business relations
between Germany and Swiss commercial
houses. .
It is reported that the emperor persists m
