John Bull Talks War Now.

The situation in East Africa is re-
ported to be an aggravating one to
both France and England. Young Of
ficers command both forces, and coll
lision is probable at any time unless
England yields ground. This it is
said, she is not likely to do, as budget
for S750,00O for the support of West
African forces is likely to be passed
early next week. On the other hand,
NJ. Hanotaux, the French minister of
foreign affairs. is in trying and pc
culiar position, as the coming elections
face him and the slightest sign of
yielding on his part would mean utter
defeat at the polls. The freedom of
commerce, and not the acquisition of
property, is said to be the real bone of
contention.
London: Intelligence has been re-
ceived that two French expeditions are
,advancing toward SolSoto, capital OF
north of the Haussa states, East
Africa, and that six French officers
with force of 200 men have arrived at
Argungu (ArgungD and Tagga. The
former town is an important place on
the Sokoto river, about half way be-
tween the sultan's capital and the river
Niger, and is within the British sphere.
The sultan of Sokoto has commanded
the French force to halt about 40 miles
from the capital The Royal Niger
Co.'S representative, British) VIM.

forces, with ammunition and stores to
assist the sultan of Sokoto and to Sc
cure French evacuation of the British
territory.
London: 1t is asserted on good au-
thority, that the Royal Niger Co. has
been instructed after trying all peace
able means to compel the retirement
of the French from British territory
by force. The sultanate of Solloto is a
feudatory of the company and it was
recently placed under British protec'
ii n. The situation is extremely grave.

Michigan Men In the Maine Disaster.

Elmer Meilstrup, George Mattison
and Howard Hawkins of West Bay City
were aboard the warship Maine at the
time of her destruction. The young
men enlisted last fall Word has been
received from the navy department that
the body of Elmer Meilstrup had been
recovered. The parents are grief
stricken over their boy fate. They were
opposed to his enlistment, but finally
consented. The mother is Frustrated.
The young man had become tired of
life on the battleship and was making
an effort to secure his release.
Howard b. Hawkins is among the
dead, but his body has not been recov-
cred yet, while George Mattison was
one of the few sailors whose lives were
saved.
George Fox. son of DR.. George Fox,
of Grand Rapids, was a lamplighter on
the Inflated Maine, but was among
those rescued.
Richard Andrews, Detroit boy, had
been recently transferred for service
on the Maine, but two days after the
disaster it was learned that he had ar
rived at Key West too late to board the
Maine before she sailed for Havana
and he was taken aboard the Texas,
thus possibly escaping death.
Letters received by the parents of
Elmer Meilstrup and Howard b. Haw-
lins, at Bay City, state that the bot
tom of the harbor is covered with tor
pedoes and that the Maine lies right
under the guns of Moro castle. Neil.
strup thought that if Spain did not de-
sire to let the Maine out, she could
hold the boat in the harbor by means
of the torpedoes. He would not be
surprised if she should be blown up any
day, and because of the torpedoes the
Maine could not leave the harbor nor
move about without the consent and
direction of Spain. Picket boats, he
said, were out all night watching the
Maine. Spanish sailors claim they
could do mp the Maine in an hour, but
young Meilstrup thought the Maine
could whip the whole outfit in three
hours,

in Lansing, Chairman James f. Nc
Bride, of the middle-of-the-road wing,
and j. w. Ewing chairman of the wing
that fused with the Democrats last
spring, are sending circulars to mem
bers of their respective committees,
asking if they are in favor of union
meeting of both committees to arrange
for nominating a joint state ticket.
Replies so far received are in favor of
union. Chairman Mcbride says: THE
fusion committee is solid for the nomi-
nation of Pingree for governor, and all
but one of the middle-of-the-road COM
mittee favor him. If he heads our
ticket he will certainly be elected, and
that would give him so much of start
for the presidential nomination that
nothing on earth could head him off in

the Populists will nominate congress

dates in every county.

advocates of the establishment D a de-
partment of commerce. A statment
was presented which declared that
other departments were established by
the demands and exigencies of th bus
mess of the government and TIT the
time had arrived when another dpart-
ment should be created. The conner
cial interests could be greatly benfited
by seat at the cabinet tablf and
it would be a relief to other d,part-

frage granted hearing TO a large dele
cation of ladies from the Nations Wo-
man Suffrage association in convention
at Washington. The House commit
tee also accorded the delegation a
president of the association, made a
strong plea.
The day following the Maine disaster
the House adopted the following reso-
luton, offered by Rep. Boutelle, of
Maine: Resolved, That the House of
Representatives has learned with pro-
found sorrow of the great calamity
which has caused the destruction of the
United States battleship Maine, and
appalling loss of more than $50 lives
and the wounding of many others of
the gallant defenders of our flag, and
that the House expresses its sympathy
for the injured and its sincere condo
lences with the families of those who
have lost their lives in the service OF
the nation.
After four days of consideration the
House passed the bankruptcy bill re-
ported by the committee on judiciary
as substitute for the Nelson bill
passed by the Senate at the extra SEES
sion last summer. The bill is known
as the Henderson bill and contains
both voluntary and involuntary fea-
lures. 1t is considered less drastic
than the measure passed by the last
House.
