MR.. Asr0R DIsMIssEs MS EDIroR,
But Hc Approved Mr. Gusts nti-Americnn
Attitude In tho Pail Mali Gazette.

LONDON, Feb 5.-1t became known In limited
circles today that MIR. William Waldorf Astor
hnd summar!ly dismissed Mr.. Henry Gust from
the editorship OF the Pdlt MdU gazette. The rea-
son for this action Mr.. Gust himself does not
know, neither does anybody else In the London
newspaper world. Mr. Astor curtly demanded
Mr.. Gusts resignation last week. The latter re-
fused to give 1t without somo statement OF tho
reason for the request. This MIR. Astor declined
to give, but did say that Mr.. Gusts management
Of the Pail Mai Gazette had been faultless.
The next step was the appearance OF Mr..
Astors agent at the Pal Afuu Gazette office
during tho luncheon hour yesterday. Mr.. Gust
was out. The agent assembled the statY and In
formed them that Mr.. Gust and MIR. Ivan Mul-
Ter. assistant editor. had been dismissed. and
their connection with the paper would cease ON
next Saturday.
The first point which naturally suggests it.
self Is that Mr.. Astor's action may have been
prompted by patriotism and grown out OF tho
anti-Amcrcan criticisms which have appeared
In the Pdii Mall Gazette during the Venezuelan
controversy. have ample authority for saying
that the attitude Of the paper toward the sub
ject, while not dictated by Mr.. Astor. has met
his entire approval.
The Pan Mall Gazette has been under the edi-
torship OF Mr.. Gust since It was purchased by
Mr. Astor, three and half years ago. The
paper has become one of the strongest and
most influential Tory journals in England. 1t
has been, by all Odds the best evening news
paper in London. Progressive. enterprlsng.
and original in all its methods. 1t has had the
distinction of being the first to publish two Of
the greatest pieces of news for England In the
last three years-the resignation of Mr.. Glad
stone and the formation of tho Russo Turkish
alliance.

The significance of Mrs. Humphrey

secret. She is the only writer of cur
rent fiction who, fully recognizing the
compleXity, the doubts the problems

with no uncertain voice the moral or
der of the universe. and sets forth for
aus in her work the very stuff of life it
self. "a fabric of confusing colors
through which we dimly trace the out
lines of a great design. So long as
she continues to do this her novels will
be great novels and will find acceptance
in the thinking world. Sir George

THE PARIS FAIR. .
The Architects to Draw Up the Building
Plans Selected.


Plans Selected.
An important step in the prepare
tions for the exhibition of 1900 has just
been taken in the selection of NJ. Charles
Girault to superintend the drawing up
of a model plan for the large building
which is to replace the Palais de I'm
dustrie. This selection was made by
NJ. Alfred Picard, general commissary
Of the exhibition of 1900, and NJ. Bouch-
er, the minister of commerce, and has
given satisfaction to all parties. 1t was
Charles Girault who was awarded the
first prize for the small palace and the
fourth prize for the large palace of the
two destined to take the place of the
present Palais de fIndustrie, on the
Champs Elysees. He is very well
known architect, having been awarded
the. grand prix de Rome and having OBJ
tanned a first medal at the salon of 1888.
Under his direction the work of drawing
up a model plan for the large palace,
which will serve as a main entrance to
the exhibition, will be divided among
NM. Deglane, Binet, Thomas and Lou
vet, the other architects who received
prizes in the recent competition. The
work Of this council of architects will
be begun at once, and the demolition Of
the old Palais de PIndustrie will probab-
ly be commenced in October.
