New Yomc, I-'eb. 12. The Washiueton correapondr nt of a corning paper savs: "A triple alliance b. twaen the Fr.itod States, Kuseia and France audi is tlie interna'.iop.al combination of forces for mutual benellt tnJ defense which has been tecretly pending for fix years and which, unknown to either the diplomatic or political wor d at larce, culminated in an executive feseioa of tho U. S. enato two days aro. This ia the firjt public annourieemeut of the wtiguty muHnintr which lay behind tho soemintly ui. important and Virtual announcement that "the extradition treaty with Ilussia has jeen raiiiled.' "That was the sum total of the announcement which was riven to tho public. Lut the ratification of this treaty meant an epoch iu the history of thia country. It me- rhe century will close with what I'rince Gortchakol, the great Busslan chance lor described as 'necessary for the universal equilinrium of nations, namely, an "lalliaucrt between the United Siate, Russia and France. "inrularly enouh the ratification of the extradition trsaty with Russia leaves before the senate no business of the state department which has not bean e ted upon. Thia ia a condition of affairs which probab y never before exi-ted in our history. It is the crowning glory of tlie administration of the state department under Mr. Blaine which it has been the fortune of Mr. Foster to conclude. Within the pnt feix months two treaties, the only ones pending before the senate, bare beeu ratified. Theee are the extradition treatiea with Bug-da and France, and, as ha) been stated, their ratification is of wondwide significance. "In ratifying these treaties the U.S. covernnient has received distinct plsdges, both orally, through the l'ustdan and French Ieratione in Washington, and by correspondence through our department of atata with the forein offices of those government of their support by force, if necessary, against any interference by (iermsiny, Great Britain or any other European power with the maintenance by the Uniteii Siatea cf what ia commonly termed ti e 'Monroe doctrine.' "In othsr words tho control of the Hawaiian ia anda, the annexation of British An. erica, the acijuisition of Cuba, cf Hay ti and San Domingo, and the n.timate expu eion of iral Britain from Bermuda are. roKihiiitii, in lulfi ling which the United States would he upheld by the two powers which, in Ku-opean ;o.itics, aTe most distinctly opposed to the driebund, the a! iatica between Germany, Austria and Itaiy. Should Kng and protest avainst the acfj'iisiiion of the Hawaiian islands or the annexation of Canada by the United State the british lion could lo nothing more than growl in the fact of the forces which are thus brought to the support of our new navy." THE BELIEF NOT SUSTAINED. Senators Ild Not Itav tho Alliance lde.t In Thflr Head. Washington, Feb. 12. The publication of dispatcheaannouncinz that there was a hidden significance in the extradition treaties recently ratified by the U. c eenate with Ilusaia and Franco naturally occasioned many inquiries to Le addressed to the officia here and to members of the senate who won d be in a position to know the facta. According to the dispatches "a triple alliance between the United .States, Russia and France for mutual bensfit and de'ense. which has been aecretly pending for aix years, unknown to either the diplomatic or political world at large, culminated in an executive seasion of the senate two days ago," in th6 ratfication of the extradition papers with those powers. Careful inquiries fro the beet sonree of information do not sustain this interpretation ef that treaty. It is asaertd that there was no provision in either of the treaties very widely dlfTsrine from extradition treaties negotiated with Great Britian, Germany and other powers. More to the ooint atill, it ia said, there was no crovision in either treaty dinVing essentially from the extradition treaty with Sweden which was ratified at the uma time. One of the senators, who participated in the disenssion of these treaties, has aince publicly expressed his opinion that the ratification of these treaties would be regarded br F.ussia and France as a tacit agreement cementing those ancient bonds of alliance hieb Lad led France to aid ia our mo-

lution and had induced tluss'a to pend its I fleet to our mora; aid when Napoleon was J

niza the confederacy. It is pointed out, I however, tbat ihouarh thee views may have larjjuly influenced senators in the rati.lcdtion of the treaty and thouzh some idea of the pame kind mar well have been present in the minds of hijrh con trading powers thera ii a considerable spacrj bepafstine the renewal uf friendly sentiments from the nU-nion of an of- I fensive fc&d defensive alliance. I GERMANY AND RUSSIA. A Cooling Off In the Relation Itetween Them Tlie S'.tu.ition in I"rnce. rApi?!. Feb. 11. There is a marke 'cooling ell" in the relations bstweeu Busia and Germany.

Ilussiathus becomes the arbitrator of the international situation, playing with France and Germany the eatne gamo that Bismarck did 60 lone with Austria and Kr.seia.
