1t is quite natural that Gen. di Cesnola
should resort to any means In his power to
prolong his continuance in a very lucrative
office 1t would contravene all the laws OF
human nature to expect him to reinQuish
such prize without O struggle. And. since
mere blank denials cannot offset abso-
lutely established facts. his only remaining
defence is to defame the exponent Of the facts.
without undertaking the hopeless task Of dis
putting the facts themselves.
That the majority. II not all Of the trustees
OF the Metropolitan Museum OF Art are per-
fecfiy we'll aware of tho exact position Of Gen.
di Cesnola in this matter is more than PROD
able. But do not belIevst that oven those who
have most completely lost their confidence in
him are aware Of tho actual extent to which
they have been abused.
In The preface to tho guide or handbook Of
pottery and porcelain. published in 1875 by
the Metropolitan Museum OF Art. 1t Is dis
tinctly stated:
The Cesnola collection is the property Of the Metro
poiitan Museum Of Art, and includes pottery. stous

From the report on the adm Illustration Of
justice In France and Algeria for 1891. which
has but now appeared. We gather some signif-
cant facts about suicides. The total number
In France Tor that year was S.l20 while ten
years before. In 1881. with ncarly the same
population. there were but 'j.75l.
This shows an Increase OF 0rs than Fl Der
cent. and seems to indicate TINT In france the
conditions OF life havo become harder than
they were: perhaps ms aIresult OF an Increased
military burden together with depression from
the late bad financial state.
Suicides were most frequent In the Depart
ment OF the Seine. where 1.ijJ. or 80 in 100.
600 occurred. while they were west In Corsica,
whore only II, or per 100, 900. took place.
In general the inclination to ef-destructisn
was markedly stronger In the North than in
the South. Thus in the Northern eight de-
partments there were 2.SS2 suicides. or 80 in
100000 while in the thirteen departments OF
the South only 100, or 10 per 100 900 occurred
In the Northeast there were % In the 100
600. hut in the Southeast only 10: in the
Northwest 1S per 100000. and In the South-
west only -.
Perhaps the warmth and sunlight Of tho
South lead TO moro cheerful view OF lilo than
the com parativc gloom and coudiness of the
North: but ii seems likely that the variation in
suicides Is result Of actual physical differences
In the conditions Of living. Thus. II man Is
cold and has no fire. he may feel tempted to
feok warmth in a future world while IL no

OF these suicides 81 per cent occurred in

president opened the fair there has
been no day when the attendance was
larger and the weather more propti-

learned this evening but they undoubt-
eddy far surpa>s any previous day
From early morning until hate this
afternoon thousands Of people crowded
through the gates.
Among exhibitors the failure Of the
Chemical bank was the principal topic
Of discussion. Most of the foreigners
had deposited money with the bank
and their letters of credit were hon
ored at that institution As soon as it
became generally known that the bank
had closed Il crowd gathered around
the doors and waited patiently for the
appearance of Cashier Brayton. That
gentleman did not put in an appearance,
having been summoned down town to
counsel with officials of the bank.
strenuous efforts were made by de
positors to get in, but the clerks kept
the doors locked Considerable excite
ment prevailed for time, but things
queted down when IL was stated that
the bank expected to pay in full. Some
Of the dcpositors, however, refused to
be comforted It's Il great many of them
from out Of town had no means Of re-
plenishing their cNchequcr at short no

At the meeting of the national com
mission this afternoon the matter was
brought mp by Commissioner Cannon,
o Oklahoma, who offered a resolution
recidng the facts of the failure and
asking the appointment of a committee
of six to investigate the matter and re-
port as to the ACCESSIBILITY Of permitting
the bank TO resume business ON the
grounds.
Several dissenting votes We're heard
to the effect t.at the commission had
not the right to investigate into the
affairs Of he bank. but m equal number
We're convinced it had. After a lengthy
debate the resolution was adopted and
the committee appointed.
The first business which came before
the national commission this afternoon
was the petition Of Phoebe Couzins of
Missouri, setting forth her claims with
regard TO membership The judiciary
committee reported that under the act
creating the commission Miss Couzins
cannot be regarded in any sense a
member. This settles her status I'M
less she takes other action,

time the big building over which he is
TO preside during the nest four years.

any time TO the consideration of PEN

except in the most cursory way, owing
to the exciting nature of my judicial
duties, said Judge Lochren Con
sequeutlv ] have outlined no policy
and formulated no theories An /

laws"
Allusion being made to the immense
aggregate sum of money required for
pension, Judge Lochren assented, say
ing it was rather odd, too, considering
that the war had been over nearly
thirty years. lie also referred TO the
fact that within a very few years the
total pension payments had been
doubled in volume, though this was a
natural result Of the liberal legislation
of 1890 He thought there was a grow
ing sentiment in the country in favor
of reform in the matter of pensions.
