AMERICAN STUDENTS ~ FRANCE.

The concessions which have been made 10
American students by the French universities
more correctly speaking, by several Of the
faculties. are extremely gratifying. They are
due primarily TO the persistent efforts Of Dr.
Harry J. Furber, jr. OF Chicago, an interview
with whom was recently printed In The Tribune
The Information which he gives regarding con-
dltions in France Is extremely valuable at the
present time. when many young men on the
point OF being graduated from American col
loges are contemplating graduate or supple
mental courses In foreign institutions. When
Dr. Furber went To Paris. after n course I'm
several German universities he was surprised
to ind so few American students enrolled I'm
French institutions. In the University OF Berlin
alone there were 200 American students. while
In all the faculties OF France only about forty
were registered. Mr.. Furber knew that this
apparent preference OF Germany to France
could not be due wholly to the belief In tho
superiority OF the scholarship Of the former
country.
An investigation soon showed that the tide
OF Americans toward Germany was caused I'm
the main by the fact that admission TO German
institutions was far more easily obtained for
Americans than admission to the French facul-
ties. Enrolment In the latter for the purpose
OF obtaining n degree was in fact almost Inn
possible While In Germany the diplomas OF
American colleges are accepted without question
and In fact In some universities no diplomas
at all are asked for--dnicult entrance examna-
lions and other requirements virtually pro-
hibltive were enforced In France Dr. Furbcr
determined. If possible to make the way easier
for American students lie sent "A memorial to
the Minister Of Public instruction in June 1890
which attracted attention In the educa tional
circles and excited the interest OF Professor
Breal, OF the College of France. Soon the
Franco-American Committee was formed for
the purpose OF bringing about closer rea-
tionship between French and American
scholarships 1t included some Of the most
famous names In France An agitation was
started which has been fruitful of great re-
suits. A ministerial decree was issued last
January placing American students In the
Faculty OF Sciences practically upon the same
footing a the natives. "A college diploma,-at

TIE PASSING OF PLATT.

The St Louis Convention will be ever memo
rable as the graveyard Of political bosses. Mr.
Platt splashes around like struck whale. lash
ing peaceful water into foam. and tinging 1t
with his political lfeblood; but 1t makes. no
difference. Everybody knows that his end has
come Senator Quay, wiser than Plat, con-
sents to represent the will Of the people in the
second State in size. and by so consenting ceases
to be boss, but remains q statesman. Clark
son is sick. and so Is detained from q COnven-
ton In which his able and worthy candidate,
Senator Allison, is doomed to defeat from the
start, because the combination Of bosses gets
no favor this year. Manley is jeered and cursed
for stating the obvious fact, as If II were trea-
son to really great leader Of the people like
Reed to admit that majority favors somebody
else Filley was one of the bosses who took
counsel together and he passes out. Addicks
was boss who betrayed the Republican party
by his use Of means which need not be de-
scribed, and he will wait outside the Conven-
ton on the sidewalk. Bradley was man who
had brilliant achievement behind him, and
brilliant future close ahead. but allowed the
Republican party TO lose a Senator from Ken
lucky. Fessenden thought the bosses were the
people, and, like the rest, will have leisure to
reflect on the mistake.
1t pleases these people to talk Of Mark Hanna
as n boss After a time they will regain their
intellectual faculties. and remember that he
never had even the fantest share of control in
the organization Of his own State. 1t Is his
pride that the candidate whom he preferred
and loved-for William Mckinley Is q man
whom faw genuine men can know without Low.

comfort was looked after: but TO send the TWO
men to the hospital side by side i'll the wagon

murderous crank was simply monstrous. What
n dramatic spectacle 1t is to contemplate the
two living side by side. one pleading to know
why he had been shot and ignorant OF the fact
that lis queries were likely to arouse the IN

II is not mapy wears since the citizens or the
United States. when accused by foreigners OF
a want Of patriotic feeling on the part OF the
pcople of the country, were obliged to REFER 10

bellion TO disprove the charge. OF course all
those who had felt the swelling Of the heart III
the sixties knew how sufficient such an answer
WINS. but patriotism, as an efficient factor IN
comncllinc the respect Of the outside world, Is
NOT wholly n subjective emotion and so it must
be a pleasure for every lover of his country 10
note the growth Of the outward demonstration
of love and devotion which the symbols OF our
Nationality inspire. Yesterdays celebration OF
Flag Day was case in point. ana the emo
tons which it inspired will make themselves
felt more and more at the recurring Memorial
DAYS of the Nation. For years 1t has been oo-
yious that the ceremonies of Memorial Day,
while losing their sectional and political char
acter. have been developing pious and Deauti-
full reverence for the dcad-have, in fact, been
insttuting a festival akin to the All Souls Day
Of the Old World-and the fact has only added q
tender grace to the celebration. Like the rever-
ence for the flag of the Union, inculcated by
Yesterdays festival such sentiments can only
make for the public good.

No tactician. either in politics or warfare, Is
likely to be deceived for moment by Platts
latest manoeuvres at st. Louis. Defeated at all
points In the fight which he went to the Con-
vention to make he is seeking to put himself
in position where he can exhibit himself as
among the victOrs when the triumphal march
shall be taken up He is now bending all his
energies to save the Republican party from re-
pudiating a financial record which never was
safer in its keeping than it is to-day. It's an
old schoolboy device, this Of cutting across lots
when one is left behind in order to make
brave appearance when the procession walks
into the village; but 1t will not serve Mr.. Platts
purposes this time.

TARIFF MAJORITY.
HansbrOugh Says the Senate Will BE
With Mckinley.

FARGO, N. D., Nov. 10.-In an inter
view here this morning, and one which
will be published in his Devils Lake
paper as an editorial, Senator Hans
brough develops new idea relative
to the support of the sound money
democrats Of the Mckinley policy, and
also administers a warm roast to
President Cleveland. The senator says:
'"The senate will have a protection
tariff majority after March next, and
this insures the repeal of the adva-
lOrem Wilson law and the passage Of
revenue measure framed along the
lines of republican doctrine There will
be enough democrats in the senate
who will join the republicans to kill
any free silver amendments that may
be offered to the tariff bill which
will be sent to the senate by the house
after the extra session conVenes With
the free silver amendments disposed
of, the silver state republicans will
vote in favor of the tariff bill on it's
final passage.
"On the currency question, I do not
believe that any republican senator,
and 1 include those from the silver
states, will undertake to embarrass
the new administration. There is
vast difference between Mckinley and
Cleveland. The latter has seldom re-
trained from an opportunity to insult
the two houses of congress. The con-
temptuous manner in which he has
frequently referred to them has no
parallel in history. He has constantly
played the part of a bigot Mckinley
is altogether different man. He will
not seek to place the executive above
the legislative branch, or block the
avenues of legislation with his per
sonality. He is devoid of selfshness
and full of kind consideration of the

Gov. Allin intefe1es at the last moment
Myron r. Kent will hang at Fargo
Thursday; and from present indica-
tions the governor will not interfere,
unless some good reason is put forth
for his arresting the execution. The
governor takes the position that he,
as executive, is sworn to enforce the
law and that he must be justified Ill
atrestlng its processes by some good
and sufficient reason tending to eStab-
lsh doubt as to the guilt of the con-
demned man. So far the governor saws
no reasons have been advanced to jus
tify the communication of Kents SEN
tence. He has inquired into the pc
t:tions signed in favor of the commuta.
ton and says the majority Of the sign
ers applied for clemency out Of a SEN
timent Of repugnance to the death
penalty. But the law has prescribed
the penalty, and the governor says he
cannot set 1T aside on sentimental
grounds. The letter Of Judge McCon-
nell advances no reasons why the SEN
tence should be commuted, and 1t IS
reported that Mcconnell will appear
in person before the governor tomor-
row to make a request for clemency
What reasons he will advance and
what effect it will have cannot be told
but it is safe to predict the governor
Will not change his decision unless
a good reason is advanced other than
a simple request.

The attorney spoke for an hour and
was listened to attentively by the
;ldges. At o'clock this afternoon the

pllcation which was Kent's last hope.
