Th Official announcement of th betrothal ha fcen kept back on account of certain difference in tit pro tocol, th question being: whether th prlnc should b vested with, th right and prerogative of prlnc consort, or retain hi present rank.

Advice from Brisbane. Queensland, contain a ghastly story of cannibalism In th Gedman group of th Balu Islands. It appears that a Queensland trading cutter, th Sea Ghost, with three white traders and a crew of seven natives, waa boarded by the treacherous natives of tha island of Baku, who murdered two of the white and six of the blacks. Their bodies. It Is asserted, were then d rotated .for a cannibal feast. In the meanwhile th native found a keg of mra and soon they were all helplessly drunk. Before they recovered from their stupor the surviving white man and the native seamen managed to unloosen the rope wtth which they were bound and escaped in a small boat, from which they were picked up by a British ship.

FRANCE AND ITALT HAVE PATCHED UP DIFFERENCES. Commercial Treaty Concluded-England Does Not Fear It While She Has United States" Friendship. (Copyright. 1S0S. by the Associated Press. LONDON, Nov. 26,-France and Italy, after a decade of tariff v.irtare. have surprised their friends and enemies by concluding a commerotnl trvsaty, which promises to shift the balance of power In Europe. But for the friendship of tne United States, which embolJens the En gllah to comparative Indifference regard ing continental combinations. Great Brit ain would be alarmed at this prospect or Italy deserting the triple alliance and adding her formidable navy to the Fran co-Russian compact, which Is held to be the inevitable result of a union of the two estranged nations. Crltlca here regard th treaty as a se quence to the Fushoda incident. France's defeat In Egypt opened her eyes to the necessity of Increasing the number of friends. Therefore, she hastened to In itiate relations with Italy, and It will give her weaker neighbor the benefit of the minimum tariff long and vainly sought by the latter. Italians estimate that, under the new arrangement, 1.000,000 hectolitres of heavy southern wines, which are used In mix ing ttngter French wines, will be exported to France, resulting In a great Impetus to the Italian Industry. In return France expects to remove the dangers of having to cope with the Italian navy In the Medi terranean In the event of a Gorman war, and also to nullify Germany's policy of Isolating France. Free trade Britain has no subsidies she can offer to retain Italy's support, but, in the present position of the world's politics she Is not as sollolt- loua for It as sue would have been a year ai0.

The agffresslve attitude assumed by the Northern Pa. clflo towards the Oregon Navigation Com pany In Its policy to extend Into disputed territory has brought large blocks of Northern Pacific stocks to market from disgruntled elements In Its ownership. The banking Interest which scorns to as sume the task of maintaining the price of this stock in the face of this liquida tion is also known to be deeply Interested In the newly floated federal steel com pany. This strained relation among tho north. western railroads and the snow storm served to divert the buying demand to other quarter.

VIEWED IN GERMANY. (Copyrighted. 1898, by Associated Press.) Berlin, Nov. 26. Th German press thl week, has busied itself s great deal about tha Philippine question and th peac negotiations at Paris. Nearly all comment ha been uncomplimentary to the United States, which Is regarded with excessive greed and political indecency in formulating new demands," President McKlnley being also accused of "Incon sistency" and " tack of backbone" In not withstanding tho "increasing demands of the Imperial party." In spite of newspaper comments, a cor respondent of the Associated Press is in formed on good authority that Germany still does not contemplate Interference, active or otherwise, with the American claims, at least as long as no concerted action Is proposed or carried out jointly by tbe European powers.

Captain James Mc- Kemna, the last of the Arctic fleet to ar rive here this winter, has just reached port, with nothing to show for her four years voyage. 6ho is one of the vessel, caught In the ice at Point Barrow. The story of her rescue has already been told. Captain McKenna said: When nipped by the loe we were but thirty miles from Point Barrow. If w had been able to go thirty mile, farther believe we would have come out all right. When tha vessel left Plover Bay on October 24, the steamers Alexander and Bowhoad were there, where they ex pected to remain until November 25, In hopes of catching some of the late whales. "Last year the native say that seven teen came Into tho bay as late as this. The Bowhead took two bowhead whales after the others loft the Artie.
