most elaborate and most fashionable functions Chicago has seen since the worlds fair.
 At that time his attentions to Miss Williams were quite noticeable and caused much gossip. By some the af- lair was looked upon merely as an in nocent filtration and by others as be- ing merely military gallant's interest in pretty girl, but among those near est to the general and to the Williams family 1t was steadfastly regarded as true case of love. Accordingly, when it was announced that General Merritt would stop over in Chicago for two or three days on his way to the orient, the gossips insisted that a marriage would take place.
 Society was kept in suspense until late Monday afternoon, however. The general and his staff had arranged, to start for San Francisco at 6:30 in the evening, and during the afternoon Marshall Field. Arthur J. Caron, John M. Clark and several other intimate friends of the general met him at the Williams home, 1886 Calumet avenue, to bid him a farewell. It was then that the engagement was announced and congratulations were extended.
 The hour of starting was now near at hand. The prospective bridegroom kissed his hand good by to his future bride. The salute was returned. MT. Williams and his daughter drove away. The general and his staff made hur- ried change and a rush to the North western station.
 Miss Williams, the bride-tO-be, is che of Chicago's fairest young women She is brunette. graceful and petite, but of striking appearance, with jet black hair and eyes and brilliant col bring. She has received much atten- tion here and abroad and especially in London, where she was the guest of Robert T. Lincoln when he was the representative of this country at the court of St. James. She was presented at the queens drawing room with Miss Lincoln. She is stylish in her attire, is fond of horseback riding, bicycling, golf and other out of door sports. She is granddaughter of the late John D. Caton, who left an immense fortune and made her one of his heirs.
 Her father, Norman Williams, founded the Chicago Telephone com pany, the Western Electric company, drew up the papers organizing the Pullman Palace Car company and was for years identified with the Western Union Telegraph company and was sent as national delegate to the Paris electrical exposition in 1882.
 No definite time has been set for the wedding, but it will take place as soon as General Merritt can return from the Philippines.

Chicago. May 28.-When General Merritt, the future. governor general of the Philippine islands. returns from that far-off land he will lead to the altar beautiful Chicago girl-Laura Williams, daughter of Norman Will Hams, one of the most prominent f1nan- cial men in this city and the west
 TEe engagement was announced Monday before General Merritt took the overland train for San Francisco, where he takes command of the troops that are to be sent to Manila. Though there Is considerable discrepancy in the ages of the gallant warrior anu his fair bride-to-be-the genera, De1ng 62 and Miss Williams 24-the match is declared to be the outcome of love affair of two or three years standing.
 General Merritt was first married when quite young man, his wife dy- ing in St. Paul in 1893, during the time he was stationed at that point as com maEder of the department of lne north west. A year or two later the general was transferred to Chicago to com mand the department of the Missouri. succeeding General Miles.

TONE OF FRENCH PRESS.
Decidedly Different From It's Tone of
 Two Weeks Ago.

Paris, May 2S.-There is nothing more remarkable in Paris-and one may say in France-today than the spirit of nervousness existing with regard to what is Americas real senti- ment toward France.
 It is manifest that the press realizes that it took false step at the out break of hostilities between Spain and the United States and now the papers
 have come to a confused halt They are feeling their way in the dark, and wondering what their next move should be. Of course La perfide AL
 b1on" is always there to be struck at, and as usual she is being accused of having created the unpleasant feeling that undoubtedly exists between this country and America. In fact, it is not going too far to say that were war to be declared between the two na- tions, Americans would hardly be held responsible by the French, while the English would be roundly accused Of having brought it about.
 There is a noticeable change in the papers day by day. The Gaulois is nervous: the Figaro is hedging, the Temps is dgnified and courteous, but the Debats, evidently looking into the future, fears complications and, in fact, sees dangers ahead.
 It is impossible to deny that the rapproachment between England and America is viewed here as a threaten ing indication for the future.
 It brings no comfort to any one to realize that a portion of the press has been responsible for this state of af- fairs This stretching out of Eng lands hand toward America with a responsive gesture on the part of the American public is felt to be full of menace for France; not only is a loyal and profitable customer lost, it is also a weakening of the long stand ing sympathy between France and the United States.
 Of course there is absolutely no truth in the rumor that Americans are either badly treated or coldly looked upon here On the contrary, people individually, are trying by every means in their power to show them they have been misrepresented by their papers. Americans are receiv- ing all the courtesy to which they have always been accustomed from the French.
 At the same time, the situation may be summed up in one phrase, France is disturbed to see the Anglo-Saxon race becoming unit for peace and, she fears, also for war.
