CONSUL GENERAL MORSS.
Tribute of the Paris American Cham
Der of Commerce.
Galignanfs Messenger, May 10.


1t is safe to say that no consul general al
Paris has ever laid aside the cares of office
amid so much regret and personal and OH
cial respect as the Hon. Samuel e.. Morss.
He must be very humble man indeed l. ne
did not feel proud last evening because or
the tributes paid to him by the American
Chamber of Commerce and the many other
members of the eVerincreasing American
colony in Paris. A painstaking and able
officer Mr.. MorSS has discharged his ofncial
modating gentleman, he has always re
ceived his people in way which made
them feel that they were welcome; an ac-
cOmpliShed Journalist, he has invested his
raised such ordinary dry-aS-dust products
to the dignity of literature, AS commercial
representative to the United States, Mr..
Morss took an intelligent part in every
try'S interests. He is one of the founders
and has been one of the most active mem
bers of the American Chamber of Com
merce. 1t is fitting that this great and
fully paid him the Well-merited tribute OF
last evening. AS DR.. Stephen H. Tying, the
president of the Chamber of Commerce, re-
counted some of the merits and services of
Mr.. Morss, all who heard him felt that he
spoke the language of sincerity and truth
rather than the mere exaggerated formulas
of courtesy or of hyperbole. And when Mr..
Morss said in his reply, Wherever L may
any service, great or small, which l can
render the American Chamber of Commerce
in Paris" he spoke from head and heart.
We understand also that Mr.. Morss, with
the new ambassador, General Horace Por-
ter, will be the honored guest of the Amer
lean University Club at its coming Decora-
ton day celebration. Thus will he be
doubly honored on the eve of his departure
for the United States by the commercial
and the intellectual representatives of the
American colony in Paris.

ALTGELD SCORED.
Criticised for His Alleged Connection
with Bank-Wr ecker SpauIding.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June 2.-The report
of the special committee of the Senate ap-
pointed to investigate the charges of mis-
appropriations of funds of the University
of Illinois by C. w. SpauIding, treasurer
of the university and president of the de-
funct Globe Savings Bank which will be
submitted to the Senate tomorrow, will
create something of a sensation owing to
the freedom with which Ex-Governor Alt
geld's name is used in connection with the
affair. The report declares that the eX-
Governor was heavy borrower OF the
failed bank that he must have known or
it's condition when he recommended Presl-
dent Spaulding for treasurer of the uni
versity, and that H. B. Prentice, formerly
in charge of the banking department. OF
the state auditors office was removed at
Altgelds request, after having insisted on
a rigid examination of the Globe savings
Banks affairs. The report closes as fol-
lows: The committee believes that the
condition of the bank was shown TO Gov
ernor Altgeld and that Mr.. Spauldlng was
elected treasurer very largely for the pur-
pose of furnishing funds for this bank and
for the purpose of loaning large sums or
money to the Governor and to persons con-
nected with that bank, and even TO persons
who are members of the board OF trustees
of the university.
