SUGGESTION of more than passing Interest
France charges Great Britain with failure 10
fulfil ber nronlSc TO withdraw from Egypt.
Leaving aside the most pertinent question:
whether the proper time has come for such
fulGlmcnt ard whether the work for when
tho British entered Egypt is sufficiently com
plete TO warrant their departure. an effective
.tu 0uouuc" argument comes 10 hand. France
went into Tunls years before Grent Britain
wont into Egvpt. and for far less sufficient
cause. France did so. moreover, under an ex-
plicit promise not 10 annex that country. Jules
Ferry gave such a pledge in 80 many words.
The French Government even promised no' 10
dredgc ont the harbor OF Blserta for naval
purposes. These promises were ms defh'te NJ

the fruits Of the liberality and enterprise which
have given Chicago's rising University an OBJ

other quarter Of the globe. Yet, however world

when Mr.. Yerkes's plans for building and en-

The tribute Of appreciation to achievement is
TO be paid to Fridtjof hansen to-day, as he WIS.,
its this city and land. His fame has preceded
him. His work has long been known. His
wondrous Odyssey has been read. He is thus
no stranger to Americans, but comes to us as
q friend to friends and as an hOnored guest
10 hosts who never fail TO recognize true worth.
He comes. moreover. to people themselves
somewhat distinguished by high adventure.

American vOyagers had furthest penetrated the
unknown Arctic realm; they have added. per

the Poles and Equator alike. Americans cannot
be backward in sympathy with this daring

them also was Senator Warren Of Ohio.

call OF courtesy and no allusion to party
or politics was made. The president
showed his usual cordiality and there
was no evidence in the manner or words
of the divisions resulting from the ma
/ tional convention.
Following this group came another
one comprising the entire Republican
/ membership of the ways and means
committee, headed by Chairman Ding
ley. They filed before the president
and were cordially greeted. This, too,
was call OF courtesy and no reference
was made to the tariff
