SIR ALBERT sASSON DEAD.

London, Oct. 25.-Sir Albert Sasson is

Sir Albert s;asson, Bart. X. c.. was
born at Bagdad in 1908 and settled with
his father in Bombay in 1892 He re-
ceived n European education, and on
the death of his father succeeded to the
leadership of the great banking and mer-
camille concern of David Sasson e Co.,
founded by his father
During his career in India he distin-
guished himself by the magnificence with
which he promoted charitable undertake
ings and public works. In 1873 the
queen conferred the order of knighthood
on Sir Albert, and in November, the
same year, the corporation of London
presented him with the freedom of the
city. Sir Albert was the first Anglo-In.
dian whom this distinction was bestowed
upon. In 1873 he had been appointed
companion to the star of India, and n
year later he became a member of the
Bombay Legislative council. Since his
residence in London he has been a prom
inent parsonage in society and had taken
Il deep interest in the affairs of the Anglo

himself by the magnifcence of the en-
tertainment he offered the shah of Persia

JUST TO HuMoR FRANCE.

Vienna, Oct. 25.-The Neu Freie
Presse publishes an interview from u
Hamburg correspondent with states

Bismarck. ID which he asserted that the
cars visit to France was necessary for
the maintenance Of the relations hitherto
existing between France and Russia and
to keep the French in good humor.
From the point of view of the triple al

listing guarantees of peace. The over
towering question before the world, he
concluded, is the Russo-English antago-
nism

SPANI, H FEELING
How the Spandiards Feel To-
 wards "1iO Sam."

An article describing Spanish feel ing toward the United S,ates is con- tributed to the Santa Barbara Press by Rev. Dr. Joseph Nunsn, just from sx- tended theological studies in Spain He found there . complete lack of definits knowledge concerning this country, and his stories of American progrsss were politely doubted.
 At the outbreak of the Cuban re- bsllion Spanish people thought the "uprising of the negroes" of little mo- meat. After several months feeling of unsasiuess e to the result of the war began to bs expressed. This was further aggravated by the apparent friendly attitude of :he United stsies towards Cuba and not ct all frie ndly uttsrances of the American press to- wards Spain. This engendered bit- ter feeling towards "Tio Sam" The majority seemsd to favor war with the United States.
 Now spaniards, asa . rule, have not an exalted opinion of our fighting ca pacity. Like John Bull, Uncle Sam is supposed to be . mighty sbrewd trader, but e \ warrior he falls far behind the mark. As . sharper in businsss he is too cute for Spain, but in war-oh there she'd have him on the hip. I found this to be quite . prevalent notion."
