Strained Relation Ex st in Between the Countries.

FRENCH GUINEA BOUNDARY.

Armed Conflict Has Already Occurred

WASHINGTON, July 8.—The strained relations between France and Brazil over the French Guinea boundary appears to become more complicated daily. The subject is analogous to the BritishVenezuelan trouble, in which the United States has taken a hand, and in the opinion of officials here the French contests with Brazil is rapidly assuming an aggravated aspect, which may again call for the attention of the United .States, as the Monroe doctrine applies to one no less than to the other.

An armed conflict lias occurred in the disputed territory between French soldiers and Brazilians. The French government has demanded redress, and the Brazilian congress has passed ares alution coached in sharp language calling for an explanation from France. A cable report from Brazil states that the government regards the subject as so menacing that a strict cen.sor.si:ip lias been established 011 all information regarding it. The armed conflict has merely brought to a crisis the long contention over the French Guinea bouudary.

Both countries claim a large tract of territory extending north from the Amazon river, and equal in extent to what is usually designated 011 the map as French Guinea. Each country regards the occupation of this disputed territory as unwarranted, the fault for the recent conflict can not be placed.

French Guinea is used by France as a convict colony for the deportation of the worst classes from tho French prisons. As a result the population is a strange mixture of French, Arabians, Malayans, Greeks and the rill:'-raff of Paris. They area desperate and lawless class. A few years ago one of these adventurers, a Frenchman named Gros, attempted to set up an independent country. He established a capital and called his government "Independent Guinea."

The boundary dispute has run through two centuries, and has the distinction of being an article in two famous treaties—Utrecht and Amiens. Brazil was originally a Portuguese colony, and Poitugal insisted that it extended up to the French-Guinea boundary now shown on the maps. France claimed that their territory ran down to the Amazon. In the treaty at Utrecht the river Vincet-Pinzon was fixed as the boundary. Portugal then claimed that this river was the northerly stream now marking the boundary, while France claimed that it was tiie stream near the Amazon, so that the treaty left the dispute as far open as ever.

Since the recent armed conflict French soldiers have crossed the boundary and permanently established themselves in the disputed territory with tho purpose, it is believed, of holding it by

to Mr a. and Mr. Cleveland.

BUZZARD'S BAY, Mass., July 8.—Just before 5 o'clock last night news reached the village that a girl baby had been born at Gray Gables. This report was soon verified by Dr. Bryant, who announced that the happy event occurred at 4:30 p. m., and that botli mother and little one were doing as well as could be expected.

This is the third child to be born into tlie president's family, and all of them are girls. Ruth is 4 years old and Estliei 2. Only a passing glance could be obtained of the president this afternoon, but that was sufficient to note an expression of satisfaction on the fa-e of the chief executive, although it was an open secret tLat boy oaby would not have been unwelcome. Mrs. (Jleveland's mother, Mrs. Pemue, is expected to amve from Buffalo next weeic.

The old lady was so overcome at the sight of her daughter in flames that she was powerless to act. The husband unmindful of his danger tried, without success

put out the flames. He then

picked up the burning form of his wife and carried her into the yard. By this time his clothes were 011 lire and he ran frantically around the yard crying for help. Finally by rolling on the ground he managed to put out the flames.

Mrs. Gumiwaid was so badly burned thai: recognition was impossible. She was dead when picked up. Gunnwald was taken to the hospital, but there was no hope for his joovery aud he died in a slioi time alter being brought the^e. A pol.e officer rescued Mrs. Meyer, the mother of Mrs. Gunnwaid, from the burning building. The old lady is prostrated by the shock.

LIVES LOST ON STEAM VESSELS.

Records Kept by the United States Steam

boat Inspect ion Servico.

WASHINGTON, July S.—The records of he United States steamboat inspection service, which during the last 19 years has been under the direction of General Duinont as inspector general, shows that during the last fiscal year the number of lives lost on steam vessels was approximately 368. This was an increase over the average for the precedUig 18 years of 128.

This great increase was caused by the iarge loss of life by the foundering of the steamsnip (Joliina recently off the Pacific coast. This makes the average l'or the last 19 years 247. The highest previous annual loss was 586 in 1874, the lowest was 133 in 1886.

Notwithstanding the great increase in the number of vessels since 1870— over 100 per cent—there have been but 729 disasters to steam vessels, witu a loss of but 5,057 lives, the number of passengers carried per annum having increased from 122,589,130 carried in 1870 to not less than 650,000,000 carried in 1892.

The average loss of life under the law of 1852 was one person to every 250,161 passengers carried, while under the act of 1871, which greatly improved the efficiency of the service, there was only one life lost in each 2,708,333 passengers carried, or a reduction in the number of lives lost of nearly 11 to one in proportion to the number of passengers earned.

The seivice consists of about 175 officers and clerks, one supervising inspector general, 10 inspectors of districts, under whom are iocai inspectors, divided amongst the various customs collection districts the United States.
