newspapers pausing in their rush after sensa-

gladly to him where they would have grudged
columns to statesmen; orators in many cities
rising on platform and pulpit to sound his
praises: children holding out their pennies for
a monument to him; committees busy with
plans to do him honor; messages with the
right ring of feeling pouring in from all kinds
of men; actors and authors organizing Field
benefits: rich men drawing checks for Field

drawn there; printers turning over dustheaps
for fragments of his manuscript; publishers
and photographers vying with each other to
supply the demand for memories OF him. Who

G. Polletiere's Story of the Pres.
ent Ambition of
France.
WANTS COLONIES EVERYWHERE
Working Hard to Extend Them in
Africa, Tonquin, Indo.China, NADIA
gaScar and Elsewhere.

u. Polletiere, a wealthy resident of Paris,
who has been visiting the large cities of
America, is at the California. He says the
great ambition of France is to extend her
colonies, and special attention is now be-
ing turned to this.
He was recently in Algeria, where there
is thriving colony, and he says that
throughout Africa, and in Tonquin,
Indo-China and other places, she is bend
ing every energy to build up colonies and
thus extend her sway.
"Since we lost Alsace and Lorraine, said
he, 1--WE have felt more and more the need
of extending our country We would like
to have Alsace and Lorraine back again,
and expect to some day, and we don't care
if in doing it our government is changed
from republican form to a monarchy.
We want our country back.
"Republicanism received sad setback
at the time of the exposure of the Panama
frauds, and since then each administration
has, unfortunately; always had some one
in it to give discrediJ to the Government.
l was an ardent republican for time, but

only way that the greatness of France will

money or not"
Mr.. Polletiere will stay few days in
this City, and will then visit Southern
California. He will return home by way
of New Orleans, which city he has long
been anxious to see.
President Faure, he says, now sees the
need as much as any one of the extension
of French territory.

Henry NJ. Stanley, in an article on the
Development of Africa" which is to ap-
pear in the February Century, recalls the
fact that troubles with the Beers in South

to travel to the north. and so led the way
to the opening of Equatorial Africa. Liv
ingstone, who was a missionary at
Kolobeng, accused his Boer neighb ors of
cruelty to the natives. They resented his
interference, and threatened to drive him
from the country. He published their
misdeeds in the Cape newspapers and bis

to his leaving Southern Africa and going

ECHOES OF BATTLE.

Bushrod Washington James is the author
OF book OF verse and prose, recently pub
hshed by Henry I. Coates d Co. of PhiTa-
delphia. The book is very handsome in
appearance, being finely printed and ele-
gantly bound. Its illustrations, of which
there are many, have artistic merit as well
as historic interest. Mr.. James means we'll
with his verses, but they prove his lack OF
the divine affiatus. In his preface to
Echoes of Battle" Mr.. James says he
trusts that some of his verses may call to
mind the unselish patriotism of the brave
men who were ready and willing to sacrince
much, even life itself, for the cause of
liberty and union" He believes that the
more fully we realize at what fearful cost
the independence of the United States and
the preservation of the whole Union were
attained, the more surely will sthe Ameri-
