WASHINGTON, May S.-Concerning
the enforced military duty required by
France of naturalized American citi-
zens, Secretary Bayard has instructed
Minister McLane to inform NJ. Flourens
that the government of the United
States holds that the decree of natural
ization granted by it to French citizen
is not open to impeachment by the
French government, either in its eXecu-
tive or its judicial branch, and that if it
is alleged to have been IMPROVE
IDENTITY issued the remedy is by
application to the department of state.
You will further say" writes the
secretary, shat if the subsection to
forced military service of the citizens,
whose cases you report, is based upon
an assumption that they are not citizens
OF the United States, this department
asks for their Immediate release, and
for a proper compensation for the losses
which they have received by such de-
tention. 1t cannot be admitted that
American citizens, not charged with
any crime, should be detained under ar
rest for even single day after their
proofs Of citizenship have been pre-
sented. In cases like this the United
States can never admit the propriety of
submitting to the ordinary delays of
Judicial action"

STEVENSON WILL RUN.

Assistant Postmaster General STEW
ENSoN, approached regarding the sub
ject of his possible nomination for gov
ernOr of Illinois, has announced his
willingness to make the race if he is
nominated. There could be no better
nomination, and no Democrat couId
stand better chance of election in
state which has always been regarded
as concluSiyely Republican.
But the better element of the Illinois
Republicans is disguised with the cor
rupt methods of the machine politicians
who have for so long dominated the
state. Joining with the Democrats in
the support of reputable and able
citizen, they would strike the strongest
blow possible at machine rule. Since
occupying his present position Gen.
STEVENSON has gained widespread
popularity in both parties by his
courageous living up to the principle
that victorious party has the right to
place its members, without apology, in
public places. Though people may
question the wisdom of the doctrine,
they cannot help admiring the frank
ness, the absence of all subterfuge, with
which Gen. STEVENSON puts it into
effect so far as he is able. His views as
TO the necessity Of tariff reduction arc
also in accord with those held by ma
Jority OF Illinois people, and would win
him much strength.
Though his acceptance of the nomina.
ton would remove valuable man from
the list of possible nominees for Tic
vice presidency, there would be other
good men remaining, while his refusal
of it would remove from the considera
ton of the Illinois Democrats the strong
est candidate they could possibly name

CHILD OF THE CLUB.
The Algonquin Circular in No Way
Connected With Mayor AmeS.


Connected With Mayor Ames.
The GLOBE yesterday contained
the st. Louis transportation cir
cular of the Algonquin club, of
this city, coupled in such way
with an alleged boom for himself by
Mayor Ames as made the Algonquin
braves very warm beneath the collar
An officer of the club said to GLOBE
reporter:
Il was sorry to see such stupid
blunder on the part of somebody as was
apparent in the article headed AN
Ames Card, in the GLOBE to-day. The
idea that that was an AmeS circular is
too luminOuSly absurd to have deceived
anybody. That circular was issued by
the committee appointed by the Algon-
quin club to arrange for the transporta-
ton of its members and such other
Democrats as cared to go to the st.
Louis convention. 1t is incapable of
such construction as has been placed
upon it, and l am at loss to know how
it could have occurred. | was present
at the club meeting when the committee
was appointed. Mayor AmeS was not
present, and probably knew nothing
whatever of the matter. The commit
tee made arrangements for the trans
pOrtation of such members of the club
as wished to go, and then, on the idea
that the larger the party the less the in
dividual expense, threw the opportun-
ity open to Democrats at large. That is
all there is to it. That it is boom for
Ames is too absurd for any use, and
that he is interested in 1t is rank in
justice to him that | think the GLOBE
will correct. The Algonquin club is
booming no one, and this circular is its

years of age and not unprepoSsessing.

A KANSAS STORM.
Terrible Loss OF Stock and Grow
ing Crops.

ing Crops.
KANSAS CITY, May S.-A dispatch
from HarrisOnVille, in Cass county,
states that the storm at that place and
in the southern part Of the county Sun
day was the worst ever known, the hail
beating down the growing grain to such
an extent that in some portions of the
county it was all destroyed. On the
farm of James HOOts, near Arhie, the
water in Black creek rose so rapidly
that a cabin in which lived the family of
James Denton, renUer, was swept
away, but the inmates were rescued.
Grant river OVerflOWed its banks, rising
nine feet inside of two hours. 4 flock
Of sheep belonging to William TObin
was swept away, fOrty-two of them
being drowned. From Butler, Bates
county, much damage is reported to the
growing grain. The report that a fam
lily had been carried away into the Ar
kansas river and drowned at Maize is
false. The storm did much damage,
and killed chickens and young animals.
A very heavy storm prevailed in Kansas
City and vicinity yesterday. The
streets were flooded several inches, the
sewers being hardly able to carry off
the flood. No damage was done, how
ever. The storm seemed to gather fury
as it went, and it is probable that re-
ports of much loss will come from the
northern part of the state. Six houses
in this city vera struck by lightning.
The house of J. n. TerWilliger was
burned, and Mrs. TerWilliger and her
little daughter were so badly shocked
that they are still unconscious.

An Object Lesson.

New York Times.
The exhibition of the American flag
is an object lesson which the most igno-
rant foreigners cannot fail to under
stand: In order to have its effect, this
should be exclusive of any foreign en-
blem whatever. This is the ground
upon which Mayor Hewitt wisely and
properly forbade the display of what is
called the flag of Ireland upon the city
hall. He followed up this action by a
message showing very concluSively that
the proportion of Irish tax eaters in the
community in the various capacities of
Office holders, paupers and criminals,
was very much larger than the proper
ton of Irish taxpayers.

guage in Debate.
WASHINGTON, May s. After the
transaction of the morning business
(and while Mr.. Harris was in the chair
and Mr.. Ingalls, was on the fioor) Mr..
Voorhees, rose and said: "Mr. Presi-
dent, if do not interfere with the bust
ness of the senate, desire to make a
statement which conceive to be due to
the senate and which is personal to my
self. 1t is well known that have been
seriously indispCSed and confined to my
room almost exclusively during the last
week. | visited the senate yesterday
with the purpose of making the state
ment which shall make now. The OPP
pOrtunity, however, did not present itself
until suffering so much withdrew from
the capitol and went home. Referring
to the discussion in which participated
last week, | desire to say to the senate
that however severe the proyocation
which was given, yet | made use of Ian
guage at that time contrary to parlia-
mentary rules and uSageS and to the
dec0rum of the senate. | regret having
used such language and tender proper
apology to the senate of the United
States for doing so. My high respect
for the dignity of this body, of which L
have been for many years now mem
Der, as we'll as my self-reSpect. induce
me to make this statement" Without
any comment on his part Mr.. ingalls, re-
Sumed his seat as presiding officer.

FLETCHER'S REMARK.
His Congressional Ambition on the
Wane Ii Is Said.

81 can have tho Hennepin county
delegation and the congressional nom
ination if L want it," said Loren
Fletcher.
YES" added a friend, "but you won't
take either if you think there is any
danger of your being licked"
Loren winked and said no more. 1t
is safe to prophesy on the strength of
all reports that Mr.. Fletcher is prOpOs-
ing to withdraw from the Fourth dis
trict congressional race. He has made
a careful canvass of the situation, and
has discovered that if he does run he
will be the worst whipped Republican
in the state. Ramsey county, it is esti-
mated, would give from 5000 to 10000
majority against Fletcher. Hennepin
would cut him badly and it is impossible
that the country portion of the district
should bring in enough majority for
him to overcome this. 1t is recent talk
that Fletcher is about to Withdraw from
the congressional fight, urged on to this
course by the belief in his own mind
that his election is impossible.

Merrian'S Plan.

A friend of w. r. Merriam said yes
terday:
''Mr. Merriam has not withdrawn
from the race for governor. he said to me
only day or two ago: L am not in the
field until after the Republican national
convention is over and the national con-
vention and platform secured. Then |
shall peel off my coat and sail in. 1t is
all nonsense talking of me as a candi-
date for congress. j am for Snider for
congress, first and last"
Despite this, the GLOBE awaits Mr..
Merriam'S statement over his own name
that he has not Withdrawn.
Oh, why don't you speak,
Billy boy, Billy boy?
Oh, why don't you speak,
Banker Billy?
Are you scared of Clerk McGillf
Do you fear the Scheffer pill?
Or are you deaf and dumb,

Ramsey county can not surely be
counted on his side, for it is fairly GER
tain that she will have candidate for
district delegate in the person of Robert
A. Smith, while Washington county
will probably present the name of Sen
ator j. n. Castle or Hon. E. w. Durant
for the other district delegate. Who
then is to go at large from the Fourth
district? The answer made by Mr..
Doran'S friends is p. B. Winston, of
Minneapolis. This would then give the
district equitable representation, recog-
nlzing st. Paul, Minneapolis and Still
water. Again it is not improbable that
st. Paul may ask to have Mr.. Smith
sent as delegate at large, giving the
district delegateShips to Minneapolis
and Saltwater. The Doran allies are
not asleep and are offsetting the en-
thusiaSm of the doctor with some cool
calculations. They comprise many of
the old Democrats of the state, and give
it out cold that they do not intend to be
beaten. They have selected Eugene
Wilson as their candidate for governor
and make no pretense of cOncealing
their intention to down Ames. The
doctors friends claim that he is being
bulldozed, read out OF the party and
generally ill-treated, and, now that Mr..
Kelly is out Of politics, are concentrat-
ing their opposition upon Mr.. Doran.
Next Thursday weeks convention
promises to be BEAUTIFULLY active.

Good Timber Needed.

Washington Post.
The yice-presidential candidate should
be man of national distinction, of high
character, of approved ability and thor
oughly sound in the tenets of the Demo
cratic faith. He should have a record
that will bear the closest scrutiny-the.
record of a Statesman, not that Of a.
demagogue or political trickster. He
should be in hearty sympathy with the
tariff doctrine laid down in the presi-
dents third annual message, the doc
trine that must inevitably be the issue
of the campaign. He should, in short, be
man who could be cheerfully and con
scientiOusly supported for the first place

A Crooked Course.

New York Times.
Ever since James G. Blaine began to
attract public attention his methods
have been methods of indirectiOn. He
never has proceeded on straight line.
Whenever two roads have been open to
the end he wished to attain, one straight
and direct, the other crooked and circu-
itous, his nature has impelled him to
choose the latter; and if only the direct
road was visible, he has sought an in
direct one. His whole career has been
that of man without faith in the
maxim that honesty is the best policy.
His 0verweening ambition always has
been guided by an opposite rule. Even
in his most formal deliverances. his real
meaning and motive have been read,
not in the written lines, but between
them.

FULLER's CONFIRMATION,

The senate seems to be determined
not to be in any haste regarding Mr..
FULLER's confirmation as chief justice.
So far as it goes that is perfectly proper.
The position is one of tremendous i'm
portance, and though in making the APP
pointment the president may reason
ably be supposed to know what he is
about, yet III view of the peculiar quail
ties required it is eminently fit that the
senate should exercise its undeniable
prerogative of making the most minute
and searching investigation of the ap-
pOintee's qualifications; an investiga-
ton that the president obviously could
not make.
To such an investigation, however
searching it might be, the friends of
Mr.. FULLER, confident of his ability to
pass the closest scrutiny creditabiy,
could have no objection. They would
rather invite it, and it is right that it
should be invited. Not the shadow of
a suspicion should be allowed to at
tach to member of the supreme bench,
a body more important than the senate
itself. But thoroughly proper as such
an examination is, the reason publicly
alleged for delaying his confirmation is
in no sense creditable to the men said
to be behind it.
Senator EDMUNDs is alleged to be the
man upon whom the responsibility
rests, his reason for the delay being.
not the perfectly proper one of examina-
ton into Mr. FULLER'S fitness, but be-
cause of possible political advantage,
pique that friend whom he supported
for the position was ignored, and be-
cause Of Mr.. FULLER's consistent
Democratic tendencies intermingled.
Pettiness of this kind will only rebound
to Mr.. FULLEE's advantage and to the
discredit Of the Vermont senator.

Taxing the Poor.

Boston Herald.
The admitted evil of the tariff tax is
the intensity with which it bears upon
the subsistence of the poorer classes.
If its application could be restricted to
the articles of comfort or luxury used
by well-tO-do citizens, no serious OBJ
lection could be raised against it on the
score of injustice. If the cheap textile
fabrics used by the poor were admitted
which only the rich can afford to buy
had heavy impost upon them, it is
possible that extravaganza might be
checked, as some of the economists be-
lieve, while those of small means would
be permitted to obtain the full value of
their earnings in the purchase of the
absolute neceSsaries of life.

The expectation that the United
States senate will reject the fishery
treaty, and the announcement that in
such event the Canadian government
will resume their old policy with respect
to the fisheries, have revived the discus
sion of the retaliation bill which Presi-
dent Cleveland is empowered to put in
force whenever he chooses to do so. If
that bill was put in force Canadian YES
sells would be excluded from United
States ports, and all railroad business
between the two countries, excepting
the carriage of mails and passengers,
would be at an end.

And yet feel somewhat afraid

And get kiss for everything:
And yet for naught would ] turn back
This havoc of the almanac.
