What Can France Do Alone? Moreover,
the Latter Is More Interested in
the Paris Exposition Than Any
thing Else Just Now.
Ni:w YoitK, Oct. 25. A dispatch to
tlio Times from Paris says :
There is much uncertainty as to the
real etato of affairs in the Transvaal,
and until the French know which way
the cat will jump, their opinion is not
very frankly expressed, and is therefore
difficult to guess.
The views entertained by M. Del Casse,
the minister of foreign aft'iiirs, are pre
cisely the same, and it is nonsense to
declare, as some of the Paris papers are
doing, that Franco and Russia propose
to iutorvene in Africa and help the Boers.
France is watching with great interest
the attitude, of the German emperor
with regard to the war. For some years
past every successive Freuch cabinet
has been hypnotized by the movements
of this young poteutute, just like some
historical subject under the manipula
tion of a professional mesuiemer. What
ever Emperor William does or seems in
clined to do calls for a great outcry here,
i'uris, which is empty more and more
both politically and socially, bids fair to
become a mere hull of echoes. The
French are inclined to believe that Em
peror William is no longer sympathetic
with the Boers. Russia is entirely dis
interested in the Transvaal. The Russian
press denounces Great Britain on broad
principals of morality and justice.
With Russia indifferent and Germany
friendly, Groat Britain has nothing to
fear from France. Moreover, France has
now but one idea, and that is the Paris
exposition. Any statesman who would
jeopardize the success of that show
would brinj about a revolution.
Germany Not In It.
Hkiimn, Oct. 25. The Tagohlalt do
nies the statement of the Eclair, of Put Ib,
that Germany, after promising assistance
to France and Russia for tho purpose of
intervening in the Transvaal, seems now
to withdraw it. The Tugeblatt declares :
"We believe we are well informed
when we state that the German govern
ment did not participate in any combi
nation for intervening."
Minnie Uavls Free.
Davkni'omt, Wash., Oct. 24. Minnie
DaviB, charged with murder In the first
degree in having made away with her il
legitimate child at Wilbur a few weoks
"Ko, was on trial In the superior court
hero yesterday and today. A jury was
impaneled Monday nnd the state's evi
dence was introduced. After the state
had made its oiso, Attorney Morritt
asked that the jury be exousvd while he
argued for a dismissal of the ease. He
held that the elate had failed to make
its case from the fact that it had not
proven the facts set forth in its opening
statement. Judge Neal denied the
motion.
QUARREL HAD
FATAL END
Lessee Kills Owner in Controversy
Over a Farm.
Salem, Or., Oct. 24. Ted Perry was
shot and killed today on a farm four
miles south of Salem, by J. A. Willard
Tho latter had rented the farm for a
year, and controversy existed between
them as to the time the leaee expired
Willard formerly kopt a store and post-
office at Liberty, a mile north of where
the tragedy occurred. In April last he
rented Perry's farm and lived on it up
to a few weeks ago, when he moved to
the city nnd became part owner of a
cigar-stand. Deceased came from Kansas
and lived at Liberty about live yeare,
moving to Salem u jear ago. He leaves
a wife and two children. Willard gave
himself up to Sheriff Durbiu, claiming
to have acted in self-defense. The body
of Perry was brought to Salem, and on
inquest will be held tomorrow. Perry
is about fifty-five years of age.
An examination made tonight by
thiee physicians disclosed the fucf that
four of the five bullets fired by Willard
punctured Perry's body. Three of tliem
were fatal. Ono passed through the
heart, another through both lungs, a
third through the intestin e and the
fourth lodged in the left arm.

Losuo.v, Oct. 25,. General White has

fontein under dote of October 24th, say
ing there was fighting near Ladysmitb.

The Lady and the Burglar.
Tacoma, Oct. 25. Last night Mrs. Eva
Llewellyn, keeper of a lodging-house,
was awakened by a burglar ransacking
her room. Springing out of bed she or
dered him to put up his hands, and re
lieved him of several articles he had
Btolen from her. She thon ordered-him
out of the house and notified the police

Astoria, Or., Oct. 24. The passenger
rate war between Astoria and Portland

of the fare by the O. R. & N. on Its boats;
to 25 cents. The other companies have

department of the Aetoria & Columbia
River railroad announcej that it lias no
intention of meeting it..
There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all othe diseases put
together, aud until the last few years
was supposed to he incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proyen catarrh
tobe a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.

F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the

Americans Do Not Loot.
New Yoitic, Oet. 25. A special to the
Times from Washington says: "The
stories of American soldiers looting
churches are false," eaid Colonel A. S.
Frost, of the South Dakota regiment,
who had a long interview with Secretary
Root iu regard to the Philippine situ
ation :
"As General MacArthur advanced,
the principal churches were set fire by
Aguinaldo's men, notably tho churches
at San Fernando and Malolos, and the
looting was dene by the insurgent
stragglers and Chinese. It is not true
that the Philippine prieoners were In
humanly treated. There is no kinder
man in the world than the American
soldier. 1 have seen him sharo his food
with and divide shelter with wounded
Filipinos. The Filipino wounded are
taken to the hospitals on tho same trains
with our own."
Colonel Frost highly praiEed General
Otis, declaring him to be a man of splen
did character. "He makes enemies,"
said the colonel, "because he is a strong
man."
