of clergmn and laymen who had met
him In New York. When he alighted
he was greeted bv a riowd of at least
111 ntul people, headed by Acting Mavor

with the result that Kngland Is not

"In many. Instances, employers take
out Insurance em the lives of their
hands. When an employe In perman
ently disabled he must be paid his
wages foi. 1 think, 'three years."
"Do you believe labor In this country
Is better ort than In Kngland?" was
asked.
"That." replied the cardinal, "Is a
subject for much Investigation. TIipip
is more In the question than wages

quotoK President I.ouhet, In conversa
tion with nn Important person two
days ago, as saying:
"I always conldered the Franco
Ttusslan nlllanoe exceedingly nsoful
and fruitful to our cotintiy. t thought
the moment opportune, to obtain the
czar's presence at the nianoeuvtes. We
fltst Intended Inviting him to the west
em manoeuvres, which aro of greater
importance, but tho czar prefened the
eastern."
Asked whether the czar himself sug
gested the visit, M. Louhot replied.
"Theso vhdtja are not decided on
without a previous change of views. I.
personally, inspired th negotlatlonec
which led to the result now known.
When I learned that the czar Intended
to review the German fleet In the Hal
tie, I deemed It more Important than
ever to obtain a visit to France, and I,
myself, wilth the co-opeiatlon of M.
Delca..so, prepared this great event,
for which the negotiations were pur
sued with the greatest pecrecy."
M. I.oubet Is further reported nw fay
ing that, thanks to the Franco. rtmRlan
alliance, war with China was averted,
and also that, up to now, the pro
gramme of the Journey accepted by the
IMisslan chancellery does not Include a

Constantinople. Aug. ".. The amount
of the Indemnity which the sultan
agrees to pay the Quays company Is
TOO.flftfl fiancp. for Interference with lf
rights. The sultan will also pay fiftfl.nro
francs to a Frenchman on account of
the seizing of his lands In Albania.
Thp Quas company t enounces for a
year the clause in its concession re
garding the transfer of the quays to
Turkey, only. It Is believed, to save
