Cluster Chronicle.
JOSEPH KUBLER, : PUBLISHER

The quarrel between Great Britain
and France over the possession of the
Nile valley is a fight for prey between
two international jackals. Neither OF
these countries has a shred of moral
right to the disputed territory. Ever
since the dark continent was opened
up to European settlement they have
grabbed whatever land came In sight.
and it has long been evident that 1T was
only a matter of time when their in
satlable rapacity would bring them into
collision. Great Britain n Franco
are repeating in Africa the same tactics
watch they followed in America a cen
fury and "A quarter & At the same
time. 1t is doubtful If these traditional
enemies will appeal to the dread arbl-
trament OF arms" No doubt a wal
with France might prove to be the sal.
walton of the liberal party in Great
Britain in the present crisis of It's af.
fairs, but John Bull is SO inclined to
bluster that IT Is hardly likely he will go
TO cXtremities. On the other hand,
France has plenty to occupy her attcn-
ton in watching her inveterate foe
along the Rhine and in keeping down
the growing forces of anarchy and dis.
order at home. She may be able to
spare troops for a demonstration
against Siam or Madagascar, but none
knows better than she the strength and
prOtNess Of British arms, for none has
felt tn m more disastruusly. 1t is prob.
able, therefore, that the wrangle be-
tween these two colossal land robbers
will be automatically settled by a
peaceful division of their plumber.
The war against boomers has roken
out at Ann Arbor. Miss Edna Day OF
the junior class Is a famous bicycle
rider, and has adopted the bloomer
costume for this purpose. Mrs. Games,
who keeps the boarding house. has in
her that she must choose be.
tween her house and the d~isgraceful
costume; that she does not propose to
have young aides sitting down at her
table in any such costume. For the
present Miss Day has surrendered, but
she declares that very soon she will
wear whatever she pleases. Some of the
professors wives have adopted the
boomers and a general row is looked
for. Strangely, and ~unhappily, the
male students have pronounced in favor
Of the boomers, but the boarding house
keepers have combined and stand pat,
so there is every prospect of a lively
iusted.
