which form a prominent feature in the secret dossier, were fabricated. Among those who were shocked at the supplement was the Duchess D’Uzes, who was represented as seated in a chair, and M. Arthur Meyer standing behind, while a black poodle looks gravely on the legend underneath, imagining that he could be another General Boulanger. “That Is an outrage.’’ says the duchess, and she has already Issued a writ for 50,000 francs damages. The Sieele, however, declares In its answer that the duchess cannot consider herself insulted, for if any insult exists it would be to the memory of the suicide of Boulanger. Another photograph has excited the ire of Henri -Rochefort, for he says the one representing Cavaignac, the former war minister, as a barber putting a razor to the throat of Colonel Henri is beyond all decency, and relates how- someone sent the supplement to the colonel's widow, and before she could take it away from her child, who was amused by the pictures, the latter exclaimed, "Le portrait de papa!” w-hich caused hot floods of tears to pour from the unfortunate woman’s eyes. The Bois w r as crowded the other day when the paraders were entertained by an unusual spectacle. A well-known demimondaine align ted from her coupe, seized her coachman’s whip and advanced before an eager crowd to administtr a whipping to a journalist who had rot flattered her vanity. The journalist caught the whip, broke it, and. lifting the fair one in his arms, covered her with kisses that would have made Hobson blush. Paris during the daytime is one thing; at night, however, it is quite another, for murder is rampant, and it is necessary to keep away from the dangerous quarters after dark. Following the example of the band at K< uilly, yet another set of assassins in the lower part of the city have murdered an old woman simply to supply themselves with money to carry on orgies in restaurants all night. The murderers are all under twenty. Ti e type, which is now the most dangerous, as they do not work—are supported and aided by the women of the unfortunate class. They will come to the guillotine just like Peugnez of St. Maurice, whose head fell this week at La Rouquette, the occasion being the debut of Anatole Diebler, who succeeded his father. As the latter decapitated 600 people, Anatole has a future before him. i sent recently an account of close upon thirty divorces pronounced on one afternoon. There must have been an effort to balance matters in the little village of Plaguazal the other day, when thirty-two marriages were celebrated at one stroke by the priest of the parish church. PATTI’S COMING MARRIAGE. Preparations for tin* Event at tlie Cruig-j-Jinii Castle. NEW YORK, Jan. 15. dispatch from London to the World says: Your correspondent, who visited Craig-y-Nos Saturday, found active preparations being made at Patti’s picturesque and splendid home in the Swansea valley for her marriage to Barin Olaf Rudolf Cederstrom on Jan. 25. By Patti’s wish the service will be celebrated in the Roman Catholic Church of St. Michael at Brecon. In return for the kindness with which Patti has always treated the inhabitants of the district it has been decided that the corporation of Brecon shall turn out in state attire. Traffic will be diverted from the upper part of St. Michael street and an awning will be erected down the beautiful avenue. Patti’s suite will arrive by special train from Craig-y-nos at 10 a. m., and will be met at the station by the mayor and prominent townspeople. The wedding equipage, consisting of six carriages drawn by splendid horses, has been placed at the disposal of the party by the mayor. After the ceremony, which will be performed by Bishop Mostyn, vicar apostolic of Wales, assisted by the Catholic clergy, the party will return to Craig-y-Nos Castle. Elaborate arches are being erected along the reute of the procession, whilst bunting and flags fly from the castle. A military band of the famous Third Battalion, Southwest Borderers, will head the procession. Colonel Morgan, the mayor of Brecon, will give a large dinner to tne working classes of the district on the evening of Jan. 25 in celebration of the event. Patti is busy night and day with arrangements to.receive a large party of guests at Craig-y-Nos for the wedding testiviiies. The bridegroom is expected two days beforehand. Baron Olaf Pudolf Cederstrom, who is soon to becom the third husband of Mme. Adelina Patti, ts a young Swedish nobleman of excellent lami'ly, but with positively nothing in the way of a fortune. However, that will make small difference, for the divine singer has a castle and enough money for both. The baron is only twentyeight and Patti is fifty-one. The match, nevertheless, is by no means grotesque, for Mme. Patti doesn’t look a day older than she did when she came to America in the early eighties, and she was then only thirty-five. She met Baron Cederstrom in his London gymnasium, where he was engaged in teaching the young English noblemen how to work up their muscles, fence, shoot, wrestle’ and acquire all sorts of athletic and ealisthenic accomplishments. The baron’s father is Baron Claes Edvard Cederstrom, an old lieutenant in the Royal Swedish Life Dragoons. His mother, before her marriage, was the Baroness Martha Leljonhufvud. The family of Cederstrom is one of the best in Scandinavia. It was ennobled in 1684, and although not prominent In the way of wealth, it has been alw’ays highly respected and its male members have taken no small part in the military, civil and professional fields of Sweden. Young Olaf is a handsome, distin-guished-looking man, simple and courteous ui manner .and highly educated. The family being poor, he was expected to earn his own living. True, he might have Joined the army, but the idle, good-for-nothing life of

an officer in peace times had no attraction for him. He went to London, opened his athletic Institution, and soon had a fashionable and profitable clientage. Mme. Patti was much impressed by the young Swede's manliness, and invited him to Craig-y-Nos, her castle in Wales. It was from there the formal announcement of the engagement was made. Mme. Patti’s third venture in the matrimonial line promises to be as happy as was her second, wfith Signor Nicolini. Patti and Nicolini Jived like doves up to the death of the tenor in 1897. It is said that Nicolini won the song bin! by sheer persistence. Her first husband, the Marquis de Caux, was much older than she. but very rich, and their married life was anything but pleasant. Nicolini had nothing but the good fortune to win Mme. Patti’s love, and that was enough. Cederstrom is likewise a poor man. but he Is noble, and it is by no means improbable that, as the Baroness Cederstrom, Mme. Patti can spend her remaining years in very pleasant association with Europe’s best society. The wedding will take place at Craig-y-Nos Feb. 25. Baron and Baroness Cederstrom will then go at once to London. The former is to become a naturalized British subject. Protest Against a Tariff Decision. LONDON, Jan. 10.—Th* Berlin correspondent of the Times says: “The Cologne Gazette, commenting upon the decision of the United States Supreme Court regarding cotton velvet, says the rule will of course be applied to all German manufacturers, so that it will be useless in the future for a German manufacturer to produce his goods in bond with a view to saving the duty on raw material. The article concludes: ‘To put it briefly, imports to America are forbidden. and the export trade is destroyed, at least for countries which, like Germany and France, must pay considerable duties upon the raw material they import.’ For a country which, like Great Britain, does not impose a duty upon raw material, the decision, in the opinion of the Cologne Gazette. cannot be regarded as bad news, inasmuch as. for once, extreme protection would seem to have done free trade a good turn in the course of the internecine war of protectionist countries.” The Cxnr’s Disarmament Scheme. LONDON, Jan. 16.—The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Times, who confirms Friday’s statement by the Vienna correspondent of the Standard as to the issuance of a circular from St. Petersburg to the powers, embodying a programme to be considered at the proposed conference on the limitation of armaments, asserts that the suggested basis of discussion are given with great detail. He cites, for example, the prohibition of employment of new inventions, of the use of explosives, submarine vessels and the practice of ramming vessels. The programme also proposes, he says, a discussion of the avoidance of war by recourse to arbitration wherever possible. No Sewn from Johan nesliurg.

LOSS OF THE ADELANA DETAILS OF THE SINKING OF A BRITISH SHIP WHILE AT ANCHOR. Mysterious Accident Off a Tacoma Wharf—Names and Residence* of the Seventeen Victims. TACOMA, Wash., Jan. 15.-The full list of those lost by the capsizing of the British ship Andelana, anchored in this port awaiting cargo, so far as obtainable, is as follows: Capt. G. W. Staling, of Annapolis, Nova Scotia; E. H. Crowe, aged thirtynine, Londonderry, Nova Scotia, first mate; E. G. Doe, aged twenty-three, Black Hole, England; Nemey Jossaim, Victoria, British Columbia; Joseph M. A. d’Hollyere and Richard Reginald Hanze, both of Ostend, Belgium, apprentices; Charles Smith, of the United States, and James Daly, New York, boatswains; J. R. Brown, Barbadoes, cook, and the following seamen: H. Hansen, Sweden; Anton Jensen, Denmark; John Nielsen, Norway; E. O.strom, Finland; Edward Letz, Riga, Russia; Fred Hindstrom, Norway; August Simonson, Holland, and Patrick Wilson, St. Johns, N. F. The ship, which was of English build, and worth probably $150,000, entered this port several days ago. She was to have loaded wheat under charter to Ephinger & Cos., of San Francisco, for Europe. Friday the ship was taken to the Eureka dock and all ballast removed and the hold cleared, preparatory to receiving cargo. She was then towed to an anchorage several hundred yards northeast of the St. Paul and Tacoma Lumber Company’s dock wharf, at which point disaster overtook her. She had out, according to the best information obtainable, the starboard anchor, weighing at least two tons, while to either side of the vessel were attached the ballast logs used to keep a ship upright during the absence of cargo or ballast. The ship was riding the waves serenely when the skippers of other vessels anchored close by retired for the night. When daylight dawned no signs of the Andelana were visible. Over the spot where the ship rode at anchor the night before only a dangersignal buoy lamp was visible. When the absence of the ship was discovered Captain Doty and Captain Burley took the tug Fairfield and made an investigation, and it was soon determined beyond possibility of doubt that the ship had gone to the bottom. One of the ballast logs was found. To it dangled part of the chain by which it was originally fastened to the ill-fated ship. In addition one of the lifeboats, a mattress with the name of the ship on it and several oars were found. Beyond these no other wreckage has been discovered. As ail on board perished, only surmises as to the cause of the disaster are obtainable. Judging from indications, shipping men say the ballast log found was from the port side of the vessel. The ship, according to all accounts, was headed in a southerly direction, or toward the head of the bay, at the time the gale swept down the sound. The heavy winus caused the ship to strain on the chains, making the log on the weather side taut and giving a tendency to lift the log from the water, but the strain was too great for one of the chains, and it snapped. This released the towering craft from the greater restraint on the weather s*ide and she lifted with the wind, and, there being little restraint from the other end of the log raised it enough to allow the right or mooring chain to slip off. The ship, treed from ballast and floating like a chip, careened over under the pressure df the heavy gale, shipping great quantities of water, filling completely the hold and forecastle. causing her to capsize and sink to the bottom, all in a very few minutes. The situation was further aggravated by the fact that the tides were just setting in at the t;me the ship is supposed to have gone down. This, in all probability, forced the stern of the vessel around qnd exposed the broadside to the gale's fury. Late this afternoon the ill-fated vessel was located. She lies on the bottom of the sound on her broadside, under twenty-three fathoms of water, close by the spot where she had been anchored. Bartlett & Steed, agents for the owners, have cabled for instructions. but do not expect a reply before Monday, although they say the vessel will probably be raised and the bodies of the dead sailors recovered. When the Andelana entered this port she was manned by a crew of nearly thirty men. Some deserted and others were discharged, until only eighteen w r ere left. The only list of victims obtainable is that given by Percy B. Buck, an apprentice, who was injured two days prior tO| the disaster and taken to one of the Tacoma hospitals. It is said the ship was insured by an English agency for SIOO,OOO. No bodies have as yet been recovered, although every effort is being made in that direction.

Tlie St. Louis EncHed In lee. NEW YORK, Jan. 15.—The American line steamer St. Louis, Captain Randle, which left Southampton on Jan. 7, arrived this morning after a tempestuous voyage. The big liner encountered a succession of strong head winds and gales during the greater part of her passage. The storm was accompanied by heavy seas, hard squalls and very cold weather. The spray which flew' over the ship’s side froze rapidly, encasing the spars and rigging in solid ice, making it very difficult to get about the decks. Two seamen were seriously injured. Marine Hates to Alaska. SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 15.—Representatives of all the companies operating steamers between Puget sound and southwestern Alaskan ports met in this city and agreed on a uniform passenger and freight rate.

Crawford is the chairman of the fine arts and archaeology department of the exhibition; Thomas Mason, deputy chairman of the building, lights and grounds department, and Michael Simons, chairman of the musical and entertainment department. ‘‘We have eonu over to secure American representation at the exhibition,” said Mr. Crawford. “We wish to obtain representa-" tion from those handling labor-saving machinery and those engaged in commercial and industrial enterprises. We believe we will gain the sympathy if not the active cooperation of the United States government in the exhibition. The success of the affair will be largely due to the sympathy obtained in this country. It is to be held the year after the Paris exposition, and we are hopeful of having many of the American exhibits at the former city sent to Glasgow. They will be stored at the expense of the city. We are not assisted by the government of Great Britain, but by the local authorities. It will be held in Kelvin grove, in the city of Glasgow, from May 1 to Oct. 31, 1901. We

have just completed In this grove a magnificent art gallery and museum at a cost of over a million dollars. This gallery will occupy a central position." The commissioners will go to Washington on Thursday. After visiting the President they will visit other cities to meet commercial bodies. MOBBED BY JEWS.

The matter has reached an acute phase, and it is not my wish or province to have anything to say in connection with it further than to disclaim having made to General Eagan, or any one else, the remarks attributed by report to me.” EaKan'i Chief Clerk ReNiitn*. WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—Apparently there were no developments to-day in the case growing out of the attack made by Commissary General Eagan upon General Miles in the former’s appearance before the war investigation commission. During the coming week the probability is some word will be received by the war investigation commission from General Eagan in answer to the letter of that body suggesting the expurgation of the objectionable part of his testimony. General Eagan declines to make any statement in the matter for publication at this time. William DeCaindry, the chief clerk of the commissary general’s office of the War Department, is out in a card admitting that he had mailed his resignation to the secretary of war through Eagan on the morning after the submission of the latter’s paper to the war investigation commission. He says the report that the tender of it was due to the action of General Eagan in giving practical supervision and control of the office of chief clerk to his military assistant can only be surmised. The card continues: “The reason for the presence of every provision in the contracts made by him (General Eagan) with Swift & Cos. for chilled, refrigerated or frozen fresh beef for the army can be explained by one, and not being aware of any investigation by General Eagan ‘as to who drew up the contracts,’ there is no dissatisfaction on my part about the matter.” SPIES ROUGHLY HANDLED. Bible Student* Beaten and Stoned byLexington Saloon Keepers. DEXINGTON, Ky., Jan. 15. The war which has been bitterly waged between temperance people and saloon men over the Sunday-closing law culminated to-day. Through the evidence of Bible students, who acted as spies, the temperance people obtained over a hundred indictments against saloonists before the last grand jury. Tonight spies started on their regular Sunday rounds and met with a warm reception. They were badly beaten up in some places and elsewhere were stoned. It is not known what action will result. CADETS GIVEN BIBLES. Annual Presentation to the Naval Academy Graduating Class.

ANNAPOLIS, Md., Jan. 15.—Tlie annual presentation of Bibles to the graduating class at the Naval Academy by the American Seaman’s Friend Society was made today in the chapel of the academy. Rev. Dr. Stitt, of New York, delivered the presentation sermon. Forty cadets were given copies of the revised edition of the Bible, four Catholics chose the Douay edition and nine cadets selected other books, explaining that they* already had copies of the Bible. The presentation occurred several months earlier this year because the first class will be graduated after the February semi-an-nuai examinations, and probably will be ordered into active service immediately thereafter. out SEW POSSESSIONS. The Old and Outworn Arguments Against Expansion. Philadelphia Times. No nation can stand still; it must advance or recede. The acquisition of foreign provinces in the East Indies and the Asiatic seas came to us by the inexorable logic of events. We must either accept them with all the responsibilities they bring upon us, or we must reject them and confess our inability to become one of the important ruling powers of the world. We are proposing nothing in the Philippines that we have not done at home, and the Philippines are a hundred fold nearer to us to-day than Louisiana was nearly a century ago. When Senators Hoar, Sherman and Edmunds entered public life as national lawmakers, the dusky barbarian ruled onefourth of our territory between the Eastern and western seas. To-day the Indian has given way to civilization and a grand galaxy of sovereign States is presented where the barbarian was omnipotent half a century ago. Alaska was opposed because it had no attributes of civilization, but who would part with Alaska to-day for ten times its cost when acquired? We are hearing only the old, old story against territorial expansion and national advancement. It comes with equal ability and sincerity as it came a century ago, but the Republic is a century older and has during that period outstripped all the nations of the earth in the grandeur of its advancement. It has been brought face to face with anew destiny, not by any political machinations or even studied purposes of our statesmanship. It has become interwoven with the ruling civilized powers of the world, and it must advance or recede. Which shall it be? To recede would be to confess the Republic a failure. To advance means that whatever may be the responsibilities accepted, we are fully equal to the task and prepared to join in the now clearly apparent mastery of the Anglo-Saxon race throughout the world. The old, old story will be pleaded now, as ever in the past, with patriotic fervor and masterly ability, but the destiny of nations is Godmade and the Republic will advance to the full stature of our grandest opportunities. HOBSON’S EXPLOIT. The Lieutenant's Osculntory Feats as Viewed In England. London Speaker. Lieutenant Hobson seems to be engaged in kissing the female population of the United States. This dominance of a masculine personality attests the vigor and tenacity of old-fashioned notions even in anew country. “None but the brave deserve the fair” ought to be a worn-out sentiment amongst a people who have produced the most advanced ideas of feminine emancipation. Why this truckling to the conventional hero? In what respect is it superior in principle to the average nursemaid’s passion for a red coat? Nay, it is the most complete reversion the world has seen to the primitive home of women to martial prowess. There is no parallel to it in our own history. Here and there a woman has prostrated herself before a British champion. We have seen Emma Hamilton in the foreground of a national triumph. But when has it occurred to the home-coming warrior to kiss his way from London to Edinburgh? Lord Kitchener has done a good deal to revive the war-like fervor in bosoms which were supposed to be regenerate. Moreover, he is a very personable man; but who proposed to kiss him in public? The charge of the Twenty-first Lancers is one of those prodigies of valor which stir the heart of a nation, but it has never entered a lancer’s head that his country-women would expect him to embrace them. The triumphant progress of Lieutenant Hobson must disquiet those reformers who imagine that the expansion of the suffrage to women will eradicate the fighting instinct. No achievement in the arts or’ peace in America for the last twenty-five years has won even the faintest shadow* of the glory that has descended upon the young man who scuttled the Merrimae under the fire of the whole Spanish squadron at Santiago. If all American women hud the franchise now. they would probably vote a national monument to Lieut.

Hobson with an enormous pension The only difficulty that might attend the passage of the necessary bill through Congress would arise upon an amendment to reduce the pension considerably on the marriage of the pensioner. Mormonism being contrary to the laws of the United States, only one woman can marry Lieutenant Hobson, and the thousands he will have to disappoint some day will take a calmer view of hts patriotic services than they do now. This kissing epidemic is quite out of harmony with the traditional American prudery, and especially with the cold and stately type of beauty which American women have developed in the present century. LIVES WITHOUT A STOMACH. Boston \\ on win Suffers Xo Inconvenience from Lomm of Whole Organ. BOSTON, Mass., Jan. 15.—Dr. Maurice H. Richardson, assistant professor of clinical surgery in the Harvard Medical School, removed the entire stomach of a woman on May 31 last, in this city, and the patient is new in good health, eating well, thriving and immeasurably richer for the'loss. There have been only three successful operations of the kind reported, Dr. Richardson's case being the latest on record. His patient was a woman in comfortable circumstances, past middle age, the mother of six children, and suffered from a tumor in the stomach. At a consultation of the best specialists obtainable an exploratory incision showed that the growth involved the whole organ, and Dr. Richardson decided upon the spot to excise the whole stomach. The organ was removed. Then the lower part of the aesoDhagus was joined to the upper end of the intestine. The chief trouble lay in bridging over by anew disposal of the tissues the great gap where the stomach had been. The whole operation took an hour. The patient suffered little and recovered steadily. She is now eating much like other people. HE STOOD THE TEST. The C'liiengo Preuoher Succeeded in Flensing Plymouth Church. New York Evening Sun. When the Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott resigned the pastorate of Plymouth Church in Brooklyn the difficulty of obtaining a successor immediately presented Itself. It was a peculiar difficulty in this case. Now-, Dr. Abbott has been famous for his surprises. Nobody ever knew what his sermons would contain in the way of criticism or exposition. Whatever might be said about his orthodoxy, all had to admit that this preacher had the courage of ids convictions, or, rather, of his lack of convictions. He took as much delight in going for St. Paul with a club as in denouncing the world, the flesh and the devil. Dogmatically Dr. Abbott was a perpetual surprise and a joy forever to those who liked that sort of thing. And apparently that was the very sort of thing that his congregation liked. So, as we have said, there was a big bill to till in finding somebody to wear the shoes of Dr. Abbott. A deputation was sent out to spy the weakness of the ecclesiastical land. In Chicago it lit upon the Rev. Dr. Hillis. It reported that he was just the man for the place, but—there was something about his pronunciation that the good people of Plymouth Church would have to get accustomed to. Well, last night the candidate was heard in Dr. church. He discoursed not on the inspiration of the Scriptures. not on the relation of Christianity to modern thought or any one of a hundred other kindred subjects which have a natural relation to the duties of the ministry, but on “The Message of John Ruskin to the Twentieth Century.” His hearers were delighted. It is said that the result will be an immediate ratification of the choice of the advisory committee. On the question of John Ruskin the Rev. Dr. Hillis is all right. He is as sound as a bell. The earnestness with which he appealed to his hearers to cultivate the virtues which are advocated by the author of “Modern Painters” touched all hearts. Dr. Hillis’s peculiar method of sounding the letter “a” was forgotten. Every great man has his peculiarity. Why should not he? It is all very characteristic of the spirit of the age. Certain of the churches have given dogma the slip. Why should they not, in making a choice of a parson, judge him from his views on certain literary or aesthetic subjects? Instead of listening to his exposition of dark theological subjects why not substitute mere entertaining topics? His opinion on Walter Pater, on the Renaissance, William Morris or Dante Rossetti might be very well taken to furnish a test. In this way, as in the case of Dr. Hillis on Ruskin. the candidate could shine at his brightest, and even the most frivolous occupant of a pew would be happy. Engan Condemns Eagan. Philadelphia Times. The general trend of the evidence given by General Eagan may or may not prove of value to the commission for the purposes for which it is appointed, but it is exceedingly difficult for any one to understand w-hat information could have been conveyed to the distinguished citizens who compose the investigating body by the outrageous and manifestly malicious language used by the commissary general in his reference to the general-in-chief of the army. It is plainly apparent that in calling General Miles “a liar, who lied in his throat, lied in his heart, and li£d in every part of his body.” and declaring that the senior major general should be “drummed out of the service” and shut out of the clubs. General Eagan served no purpose other than to give vent to his personal spleen, unless it was to demonstrate for the benefit of the people of the United States his own incapacity to control his temper and govern himself, much less to exercise proper supervision over the important branch of the War Department of which he is the head. Taking a horizontal view of Commissary General Eagan’s performance in this matter the conclusion is inevitable that all that has been testified to before the commission on the subject of the incompetent administration of the commissary department has been fully verified by the commissary general himself.

Opening; for Young Colored Men. Boston Transcript. The advantages of the evening high school and the evening schools which are connected with the Young Men’s Christian Associations and Unions are being recognized more and more. At present there is a large number of young men who are taking advantage of these classes to study French. The reason for their doing so is this. In 1900 it is expected that there will be a demand for young men who are able to talk French fluently. They will be w’anted to accompany small parties of persons w r ho do not speak the French language. This is a very good opportunity for young colored men, who as a general rule make the very best of body-servants, to take up the study of the French language, as it will not do them any harm and it may prove of inestimable value next year. One young man was heard to say. “If I am able to perfect myself in French to such an extent as to be able to talk fluently and am successful In getting a position. I shall see the exposition, have all my expenses paid, have a good time and receive regular wages.” First Sign of Spring. The Criterion. The pushing up of the crocus plant from the ground and the bursting of brooks from the chains of ice that bind them during winter were at one time regarded as the first harbingers of spring. But to the modern girl the first hint of springtime comes when the newest shirt waist is put out in the shops In January. The models are different from those of the preceding sumim r, and the woman whose finances know nothing of the warped condition which comes from holiday extravagance puts in her summer stock. There is a popular feminine belief that the January shirt waist possesses excellence of style and cut and material which the succeeding months never reach. When the January supply is sold a quietus occurs in the shirt waist market which lasts until June. As to Clean Streets. Chicago Post. All the theories about street cleaning unloaded at the Sunset Club might have been summed up. as Mrs. A. E. Paul, inspector of the First ward, came near summing them up, by saying the streets would never be any cleaner than the people wanted them. When the public gets so that dirty streets are an eyesore to it, it will demand that the streets be clean, and straightway they w’ill become clean. At present It doesn’t even seem to mind whi j n malefactors throw banana skins on the sidewalk. Job for Augustus Van Wyek.

Louisiana Women May Vote. Kansas City Jourxal. A high, shrill protest Is arising from tho hub of the New r England universe because the women of New Orleans can vote on certain Important measures on which the women of Boston have to Keep silent. According to vhe newly adopted Constitution of Louisiana v omer, taxpayers may vote on all questions directly involving the expenditure of money. In New Orleans the question of Instituting a sytem of sewerage and water works has been submitted to the voters, and this gives the women of the State a chance to vote for the first time In history. It is certainly an interesting incident for the conservative South, but it is on.y one of the many evidences of anew life In the new South. And no wonder that Boston is jealous. Mason and John Murwhall. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. That profound constitutional authority, Billy Mason, says the government has no legal power to annex any territory. The Supreme Court of the United States in a historic instance about three-quarters of a century ago, in which the validity of the acquisition of Florida was Involved, used this language: “The Constitution confers absolutely on the government of the Union the powers of making war and of making treaties; consequently that government possesses the power of acquiring territory either by conquest or treaty.” The author of this decision was John Marshall. That great constitutional expounder. Bill Mason,- disagrees with John Marshall. Probably Billy never heard of him. Freak*, of the Illustrated Press. Baltimore American. The New York Tribune carries the license of the press, it seems to us, to, extremes. In its eagerness to’give to the countenance of the new ambassador to Russia a sage, venerable and benevolent aspect, our enterprising contemporary prints in place of the handsome, youthful mustache face a hoaryheaded, white-bearded man, representing, very probably, the immortal Charlemagne himself. The question now arises, what will Nicholas, Czar of all the Russian, do when he compares the genuine Charlemagne to the alleged counterfeit he will find in his copy of the Tribune? Will he claim to have been gold-bricked, and refuse to receive the new envoy, or will he take it out privately on the Hon. Whitelaw Reid? Our Wurring Army Officers. Boston Advertiser. General Shatter is quoted in favor of killing off half of the Filipinos, if necessary, rather than to allow them to gain their independence at this time. General Merritt says that the Constitution should be discarded as out of date. A quarrel has arisen between the two leading American generals in Cuba and the amenities between Milos and Eagan are now breaking the backbone of the cold wave. If the army officers are to govern new American colonies abroad, there will evidently be no lack of news for many years to come. First on the Programme. Philadelphia Bulletin. "Dear me!
