Gen. Alfred Amedee Dodds, the COM
mander-in.chiei of the French eXpedi-
ton in Dahomey. has been called home
after his victorious campaign there to
confer with the government, it is given
out. upon the military organization OF
that country.
lilo is u muiatto, of English, French
and African extraction. His grand
father was born in Gambia, but during
the occupation OF Senegal by the Eng
lsh from 1900 to 1917 he removed from
Bathurst to st. Louis (senegambia),
where he married Sophie Fouilletaine,
the daughter OF u Lorraine father and
an African mother. They had son,
Emery Dodds, who held government
post and married Mile. Billet, q native
OF Senegal, but OF q Norman family.
Their son, the present general, was
born in ST. Louis in 1912. lie was grad
uated from the French national military
school in 1854 with the rank OF second
lieutenant OF naval infantry. He was
made first lieutenant in 1867, captain in
1869, major in 1870, Northumberland
in 1883, colonel in 1887, was appointed
to the command OF the expedition
against Dahomey in April, 1902, and on
account OF distinguished services in that
campaign was promoted last fall to be
general and was made an officer OF the
Legion OF Honor.
When Lieutenant-Colonel Terrillon
conducted the campaign OF 1890 against
King Behanzin, Dodds was commandant
at st. Louis, He taught the French
troops how to fight the natives and
drew up the plan OF campaign which
was afterwards put into successful exc.
cution. lle is tall and bony, resolute
and persevering, very popular with his
brother officers and his men. His fam.
lily associations with the Senegales, ron.
dering him favorite with the natives,
he was able to recruit among them q
large and efficient force.
At Sedan in 1870 he was taken pris-
oner, but escaped and rejoined the
army. Since 1871 he has been on ser
vice in Africa, with the exception o.
| the campaign in Tonquin. From all
the engagements in which he has taken
part-he fought through the Franco
German war, the Commune and the
Tonquin campaign-he has come out
unscathed.
A member of tho Dahomey expe
dition wrote to the Figaro some months
ago: People hero speak OF the courage
Of General Dodds. but it is genius
which no has displayed. lie thinks Of
and secs everything, even to the small
est details. Sometimes tho conveys
we're delayed, but when that happened
he was always in our midst undergoing
the same privations as ourselves and
encouraging us by both word and ex
ample. At these times the men tight
ened their belts and sought forgetful
ness Of their suferings in knocking
over the Dahomeyans, who, however
seemed to reappear as fast as they
were killed"

My opinion OF the tariff bill. such as
has been framed by the New York
Tariff Reform Club, is that tits too one
sided by far-too inconsistent for any
fair.minded American who believes in
equal protection. What n grand meas
ure 1t would DO If we could but pur-
chase our every day wants over this
free trade counter and sell our labor
over the Mckinley bill counter. Place
it in the scales OF reason and what m
insignificant document we would have
Such n measure would shatter tho
workman's foundations. yet mot until
then, am afraid, will he recognize his
better present position and true friend

HOW WAR WAS AvERTED.
Some Inside History of the Kansas Legis-
Iative Middle.


CHICAGO, February 20.-A special
from Topeka, Kans., says: The real
facts as to how boodshed was avoided
in Kansas are now coming TO light, and
it develops that it was a much closer
call than most people are aware OF, as
Govetnor Lewelling retracted his sigma
ture to the peace measures within TWEEN
ty minutes after he had signed them.
Upon hearing of his intentions Mr..
Cub0isOn, OF Wyandotte, went to him
and said: Governor, do | understand
that yqoWlsh tc take your name from
this pal-.
The Governor answered that he had
signed IL under duress and under mis-
taken ideas. Doster is said TO have been
with him and told him that the Popu-
lists would never forgive him and pnssa-
bly, he would not escape serious trouble,
so he decided to withdraw from the
agreement
Mr.. Cubbinson then said to him:
Governor, II you withhold your sigma
ture from the paper there will be one
thousand men killed within twenty
minutes, and you will be one Of them.
The House is ready to fight for It's
rights. 1t will tolerate Imprisonment
no longer. 1T has been hard to hold the
members back. The ergeants-at-arms
are ready and well armed and the sher-
if cannot control his men on the out
side much longer. The figt will begin
as soon as you say so, and it will begin
in this corridor In front Of your office.
Think what you are doing"
Governor LeweiIen reached out his
hand and said: "Give me the paper.
Let il stand"
This alone averted war,

Company il is unnecessary to go over
again the ground which is familiar TO
everybody. The public understands
that when Mr.. Mcleod, unSatished
with the results attained by his coal
combine, went into New England and
acquired control OF the Boston and
Maine, and large interest in the New
England Company, he antagonized the
New York, New Haven and Hartford,
and the great capitalists behiud that
company.
1t is generally believed that the New
Haven management had looked for the
acquisition of the New England at some
time and at its own price. Mr.. Nc
LeOd must have known this. The gem
eral public did. Hence, the nows OF
Mr. Mcleod purchases Of New Eng
la0d was received with the greatest
surprise. That any man, and particu-
larly man no stronger than Mr.. Nc
LeOd, ShOnld voluntarily antagonize
the New Haven management seemed
incomDrehensible.
Mr.. Mcleod is reported to have an
swered to his friends and allies who re-
monstrated with him, Ia this manner:
II will not be dictated TO by Mr.. Nor
gan. l would rather run a little one
horse country road
The concensus OF opinion IS that from
the day that Mr.. Mcleod ventured into
New England the Reading Company,
under his manager 1T, was doomed.
The exact methoGs employed in bring
ing about the results OF the
past three days may be known
in time. They are now only
inferred from such facts that are at
hand. There is speculation also as to
TO how far the smash was the result Of
human efforts in that direction, and how
far 10 was merely the natural result OF
the folly aud recklessness Of the man
agement.
There are those who believe 1t was
the result Of both.

nenn,r Zerhi Dend.

ROME, February 20.-Deputy Zerbi,
whose name has been prominently connect
ei with the bank scandals, is dead. A
committee of the Chamber Of Deputies re-
Gently reported in favor of delivering Dep
uty Zer6i to the public prosecutor TO be
dealt with in the courts on the charge Of
having received large brihes to induce him
to support the interests of the Banca Ro-
mana in legislation. Zerbi was very much
prostrated by the charge against him,
and is known to have been phys
icallv as well as mentally affect
ed by the prospect of facing a
public prosecution. His death, neverthe-
less. excites surprise similar TO that caused
in France by the death of Baron Reinach.
Zerbi was accused OF having received 4OO,-
900 francs within three years from the
banca Romano, and Signor Sessa, a law
yer. was put uuder arrest on the charge OF
having been an intermediary between Ter
bi and the bank. The death of Zerbi re-
moves not only one of the chief among the
accused parties, bnt also deprces the gov
ernment Of valuable source OF evidence.
