Rir Pedestrian Exploit.

LoxDoN. March l,-Walking tours
seem to be the rage, and advan-
tage is being taken OF this fact
by young journalists in the hope OF
being able to make copy out Of their ex-
perience on the road. which residence

nies to them. The last move in this
direction is mat OF two young
brothers of the pen, VINO have start
ed fror% Paris and intend to walk
to Moscow. where they mean to arrive
in time for the opening Of the exhibi-
tion. They are going by way Of Liege'
Cologne, Berlin and Warsaw.
1t need hardly be said that they are
full of hope and fuller of confidence,
those being perhaps the two factors
most necessary for newspaper men, but
non-enthusiastic people are questioning
whether this stiff pedestrian exploit
will be crowned with success.

mate friends are also unable to gain ad
mission TO the presence OF the charming
young lady who has achieved such an
unenviable notoriety through the start
ling admissions OF Harry w. French.
Deacon Smith remained at home all day
to-day and personally answered every
call to the door. No visitors were ad-
mitted.
To the reporters who were anxious TO
get glimpse Of and a chat with the
fair Helen the father presented most
impossible barrier by standing In the
doorway and courteously refusing to
grant them an audience.
My daughter has nothing TO say
about this matter" he replied to all in
terrogationS. "AS soon as she has re-
covered from the fatigue Of her journey
she will carefully prepare a statement
OF her side OF the controversy, and will
give it to the public through the press.
Until then she will not talk with any
body"
Mr.. French says lie may have some
thing TO say in reply to this statement.
When told tonight that Mr. Merrill,
who had accompanied Miss Smith from
London, might demand personal salts
faction on account Of what he (French)
had said about Miss Smith, he exclalm-

1T is said, Mr.. French, that this
matter will be- settled by public we'd
ding at which you will be the groom.
Is that so?"
We'll, they've got to get my consent
to that, replied Mr. French.
lie declared Deacon Smith was re-
Straining his daughter from telling her
story as she wished To tell il, and said
that he would abide by her decision.
whatever it WAS, If she had the oppor-
tunity to speak unrcServedly.
1t is said that private conference

Rev. DR.. Clarke aud two or three lead.

Deacon Smiths house last night. Miss
Smith is said to have made statement

neither affirm nor deny il. II is the
general impression that the church will
lake no further public action in the
matter.
