FRANCEJS STUNG
British Ambassador’s Speech
Rouses Ire in Her Breast.
APPEAL TO SALISBURY,
Manacing Mords that Indicate a
Disposition of France to
Fight the Lion.
By Associated Prea«.
New York, December 8. —A dispatch to
•Herald from -Dario «ays. nferring to Sir
Edward J. Monson's speech, the Liberte
ways:
•M. 'l)(di<-a.-:se will certainly not fail to
charge M. Paul Cambon, who leaves today
to take possession of his post in London, to
ask the Marquis of Salisbury if It is by
•his order -that the British embasscdor in
Paris thinks himself not only authorized
to rt present the British foreign office, but
also to direct our foreign policy.
The Oil Blas says: The menacing tone of
the speech will be noticed. We certainly do
not wish to envenom the quarrel which Sir
Edmond Monson appeal's to seek. Still per
hajH we may be permitted to observe that
this tone does not coincide with his dip
lomatic charge. His mission is a concili
atory one. Very well. The ambassador
set nis 'to us to outstep considerably the
rights he enjoys among us. He is the rep
resentative of a friendly nation. We count
upon M. I)» licasse’s firmness that the en
tir * tempestuous harr.ngue of Queen Vic
toria's envoy receive the only sanction it
merits—'that is to eay, the intervention of
London—-so that in tlie future Sir Edmond
will employ more measured language in
France. It is true that its role is trying to
embroil France with America.
The Petit Journal remarks: ‘Wnik. Sir
Edmund -waw in this expansive mood he
fie might have told us what he thought of
the r< rj.ectability of a ar.ion. ?/:•?? hav
ing solemnly promised several times to
vacte a certain territory, establishes her
self ti'ere without ceremony, thus depriv
ing another nation of its secular rights,
which are enhanced by a gigantic under
taking and also what he thinks of a na
tion which, after having boasted hypothet
'.illy vs its liberalism and Lum rnitarian
bm cynically trusts to the right of might.
England in Egypt; America in the Philli
pineis. Thus both receive a treacherous
backhander.”
The <Debats says: ‘‘Sir Edmund Man
sons allusion to the pin prick policy dis
turbing its hints 'that whenever England
o'her interests side by side wLh
her own she declares ishe feels the pin
prick and generally replies with the blow
of a bludgeon.”
At the same time the Debats disavows
any governmental support o.f the proposi
tion <to create French schools at Khar
toum or Faohoda. “We have better uses
for our resources.”
The Journal says: ‘‘France will never
•forget that these words, strange from
many points of view, were uttered in
Paris by the ambassador of a power with
whom we are at peace by a man whose
•duty it is to -try to smooth away difficul
ties instead of throwing oil upon the fire.”
The Patrie says: ‘‘it is impossible to
convey a more warning in a
more of.ensive form. Sir Edmund
Monson, the British ambassador dares in
Paris itself, to threaten us with the wrath
of his countrymen. This language recalls
that used by Mr. McKinley’s mouth pieces
Edmund has been allured by the proced
ure of the new American diplomacy.”

New York. Dec. B.—A dispatch to the
World from London says:
"The Johannesburg correspondent of the
Mail telegraphs: ‘A remarkable story was
told today during the hearing of a charge
of fraud against Charles Gunn. A state
ment was put in by the prisoner in which
he declared that he was the brother of the
late Duke of Hamilton and left England
after fighting a duel. For private reasons
his death was formally announced and a
sham funeral took place.
”Gunn asserts that Robinson, of Roth
erwellhaugh, filled a coffin which was sent
to Hamilton palace and placed in the
mausoleum and says if the coffin is open
ed and examined his statement can be
verified.”
The late Duke of Hamilton died May 6.
1SIK», leaving no son and was succeeded by
his kinsman, Alfred Douglas .Hamilton.
The late Duke's only brother was Chas.
George Archibald. It is recorded in (Burke’s
•peerage that Charles was born May 18.
1847, and ied childless in May. 1866. If
Charles can prove that he is alive he may
get the dukedom and vast wealth.

Undergraduate Malady.l
By Associated Press.
Princeton, N. J., Dec. B—'HazingB—'Hazing at
Princeton is now officially dead. Its fate
was perpetually sealed when the faculty
at a special meeting in the college office
stamped the mark of its approval upon the
resolutions adopted by the undergraduates
in mass meeting assembled last week.
By the adoption of this resolution the
faculty unqualifiedly indorses the under
graduates determination that hazing must
be discontinued by the sophomores of
every year, but that by the same token
the freshmen must observe certain time
honored and prohibited customs which
will, while relieving from the unpleasant
ness of hazing, at the same time will hold
in their proper spheres.
GETTING DOWN

Cuban 'lnsurgents Rapidlv
Going Back to Agricul

New York, Dec. B—A8 —A dispatch to the
Herald, from Havana says:
The Cuban general, Emilio Nunez, has
returned from a trio to 'Sagua la Grande,
Cienfuegos- and and Santa Clara, where he
had been visiting as a committee of one
appointed by the Santa Cruz assembly to
facilitate the disarming of the Cuban
troops and to establish the men in peace
ful vocations. He reports that the Cuban
army i nthe country districts is disappear
ing rapidly. Already fifteen hunderd men.
formerly in General Robaus and Montea
gudos commands are working at agricul
tural pursuits in Santa Clara province.
Operations have scarcely yet commenced,
the farmers stating that they will not
commence work until protected by Amer
ican soldiers. General Nunez will report
to the American commission on various
matters connected with his visit.
THEY ARE NOT AFRAID,
Qentral Anti Ticket Scalping League Per-
Persisting.
“We have no axiety whatever over the
suit for libel begun against us by three
St. Louis ticket brokers on account of a
letter issued by the Central Anti-Ticket
Scalping Committee,” said A. Al. Comp
ton, chairman of the executive committee,
yesterday. “We are fighting a. business
and not the individuals engaged in that
business. We are fighting that business
because it injures our business by inter
fering with the railroad rates for big
meetings, spectacular exhibitions, fairs
and other occasions which bring large
bodies of people together at commercial
centers, large or small, thereby increasing
business. The suit begun by these St.
Louis ticket brokers was instituted, of
course, principally for the political effect
it might have at Washington and we have
no fear that it will ever come to trial. If
it does we have no fear of the result, for
the letter upon which the libel suit is
based does not contain the name of the
complainants and therefore is not suffi
cient ground for libel.”

TERRIBU TRIP
Voyage of a Schooner From
a Central American Port
A SERIES OF STORMS.
For Forty Days the Crew Had Only
Cocoanuts for Food, Drink
and Fuel.
By Associated Press.
New York, Dec. B.—-Within a short sail
ing distance of this port and twice beaten
back after a two months' voyage was the
story told by the little schooner Mildred,
which has arrived here, fifty-six days out
from 'San Blaz, Central America, with a
cargo of coccanuis. The crew was forced
to use coeoanut milk in place of water,
the meat for food and the .••hells for fire.
■Captain Tibbett, first officer, said as he
landed: “Thank God. it is all over now.
I never expected to get in here alive.”
According to the account of the voyage
given by the captain the Mildred as soon
as she left San Blaz encountered rough
weather. 'December 5 the little schooner,
out of provisions and with the crew ex
hausted and discouraged, arrived oft Cape
May. There she fell in with the pilot boat
Philadelphia, which supplied her with
provisions and water. For a number of
days the provisions and water on the Mil
dred bad been exhausted and the men had
lived on cocoanuts. The shells, as well
as some of the woodwork of the ship,, were
burned in the galley fire in order to give
warmth to the men, who had for nearly
forty days been in the midst of a series
of storms with the esa sweeping over the
deck.
The little fcod furnished to the crew by
the pilot boat was enough to keep them
from starvation and to give them new
courage to proceed on their way to this
porf. Once more the Mildred started on
her way only to meet a heavy storm
again. This time the captain put in for
shcal water and anchored. The storm in
creased and both the anchors of the Mil
dred were carried away. Captain Tibbett
then ordered all the sail remaining set
and managed to work the vessel out to
sea. Finally the tug projector was sight
ed and she brought the Mildred into port.
Pains in 'the chest when a person has
a cold indicate a tendency toward pneu
monia. A piece of flannel dampened with
Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and bound on
to the chest over the seat of pain will
promptly relieve the pain and prevent
the threatened attack of pneumonia. This
same treatment will cure ,a lame back in
a few hours. Sold by H. J. Lamar &
