Frances Immense Interest in
Americas Good Will.

With his accustomed plainness
of speech Gen. Grosvenor of Ohio
has expressed his intention of OPP
posing any appropriation to en-
able this Government to take part
in the Paris Exposition Of 1900
II am sick of France" the Gen
eral is reported as saying, Sand |
intend to make the act known in
Congress and out Of it."
This candid statement must be
regarded as wholly personal. 1t
probably does not represent the
prevailing sentiment in this couno
try towards the younger republic
Ga the other side Of the Atlantic.
1t is Premature, in the hat
it is in advance of public opinion.
Americans generally have not
got beyond the stage Of disap-
pointment and establishment at the
fercely and sometimes grotesquely
hostile %utterances of French news
papers concerning US and our war
with Spain; or at the reports that
popular sympathy with u en-
envy is so demonstratiye in Paris
as to render that usually agreeable
capital an unpleasant place of so,
'iourn for our citizens. or at the
several charges of distinctly I'M
friendly acts on the part of French
men for whose correct behavior as
neutrals the French Government
is more or less directly responsible.
Americans who cherish the
traditions of old friendship be-
tween the two nations are yet hop-
ing that the tones of the French
newspapers misrepresent the
actual sentiments of the French
people; that the reports from
Paris I exaggerated; and that
the French Government may be
able TO prove promptly that there
is no ground for suspecting it or
its agents of any violation Of the
spirit of that strict neutrality
which is now our right a well as
our pleasure to expect from
France.
Our people will be slow in ar
irving at the conclusion which
General Grosyenor has SO swiftly
reached.
Nevertheless, it must be said
that in his blunt and impetuous

fashion that statesman has touched
upon an aspect Of the future rela~
lions of the two republics which
concern France even more in
timately than it concerns us. It.
seems almost ridiculous to speak
|of non-paticipation in an indus
trial show as severe punishment
for injurious treatment; and in the
case Of any other nation it would
be ridiculous. In France, how
ever, occasional exposiiions, which
attract the world to Paris and fill
the pockets of the thrifty people OF
that charming city, amount to the
importance of momentous affairs
of State; and upon the success or
failure may depend ne fate OF
Ministers, if not of Constitutions.
Yet the withholding of our
usual proportionate contributions
to the glory and financial success
of the great fairs which the
French have such genius for or
ganizing would be a small loss to
them as compared with a general
withdrawal of American pocket
books. 1t is safe to say that
Frances investment 20 Spanish
bonds is a less important con-
sideration to the people from the
pecuniary view merely than the
continuance of the good will and
.habitual patronage of American
travellers and American custo-
.mers.

DEATH
Dies at the Orpheau Theatre AT
ter Playing Old Glory.

San Francisco, CAL, May 10
Edward Remenyi, who has held
royalty enchanted and has n
thralled fashionable audiences all
over the world, fell dead this af-
ternoon at the Orpheau Theatre in
this city. It was Remenyi's first
appearance on the vaudeville
stage. He had planned two or
three classical pieces and had an
swered to an encore with cold
Glory" Remenyi played as if
inspirited and his three thousand
auditors rose from their seats in
their excitement, completely car
ried away by his achievement.
When the music ceased. the
house was swept with a torrent
OF bravoes. The applause was al
most deafening and continued for
several minutes. Ramenyl and
his accompanyist, E. S. Rosner,
came forward and in response to
another burst Of applause the
great violinist commenced to play
"Delibes' Pizzicati." He COM
pleted a few verses whan he
leaned forward as if to speak to
one Of the musicians in the ors
chestra, continuing his piece. He
seemed to pause for d minute aud
then slowly fell forward on his
face. One of the musicians
caught him before he touched
the stage and prevented him
from rolling off. He was carried
from the stage and physicians
were Immediately summoned, but
the aged musician was past med
ical aid. The doctors worked
upon him for some time.
Remenyl had seemed over
whelmed at the great reception
given, After playing his first e
lection, ne said to a friend be-
hind the stage: Wonderful, a
wonderful audience: wonderful;
a great people,"
His playing Of "OId Glory"
was truly enchanting. His instru-
ment seemed to speak. The ex-
preston was marvellous. Ii
seemed as if he must have known
it was to have been his final eff
fort.
Edward Remenyi was born in
Hungary sixJy-four years ago.
He leaves a widow, a son and a
daughter who reside in New
York.
Bemenyi's deft touches evolv-
ed such delicious strains as un-
questionably stamped him as one
Of the greatest violinists of the
age.

WHY Is WHEAT so HIGH?


The almost unparalleled rapidity
with which wheat has advanced in
price within the last few weeks
makes a condition which demands
prompt legal action to prevent q
repetition of the agencies that
caused 1t. 1t is not due to either
a largely increased demand for
consumption or to a deficiency of
the supply for legitimate com
merce. Slight changes in the
daily reports Of "vlsible supply"
or varying estimates Of the IN
coming crops, will not account for
the sudden rise of 90 or Is cents
per bushel in a day, or SO cents in
a week, nor for tue loss of II
cents of that advance in & single
day; neither will the Increased
purchases of breadstufs by the
government for army supplies.
The controlling factor in this
great disturbance Of the whole
some law of supplies and demand
is the enormous gambling N Tfu-
tures,'' involving many millions
Of bushels. The so-calIed hold-
ings Of Letter alone reach that
vast amount. He does not, to be
sure, hold all Of this great stock
in actual grain; but the inquiry
for wheat to settle his maturing
deals creates an unnatural demapd
which makes the extraordinary
fluctuations in price, and all the
people of the country T thus
made to suffer for his gain. The
sEshorts'' in the deal must either
procure the wheat or pay the diff
ference between the price con-
tracted for and that existing at the
maturity of the deal, and the de-
mand for the wheat to square the
gambling transaction causes the
inordinate rise in the price.
It is q pressing question, and
ore which seriously concerns all
bread-eater>, whether laws of
sufficient stringency should not
be promptly enacted to suppress
this pernicious speculation and
engrossment OF the necessaries
Of life. Dealing in lottery tickets,
which the government has sup
pressed by excluding cores
pcndence through the mails, is a
minor evil and abuse compared
with gambling in wheat and other
produce. The purchasers Of lots
terry tickets invested but little
money in the business. and it
was their own money. No ins
stance of enlightenment or other
form OF stealing Is attributed to
the purchase of lottery tickets,
and no suicides are charged to
unfortunate ventures Of this kind,
but the instances Of embezzle>
ment and suicide caused by gam
bling in futures are many and
disastrous, involving not only
the dealers. but many Others
whose monay they wrongfully
used. Why should it not be sup
pressed like the lottery business?
Perhaps the same means may not
be adequate, and perhaps con-
gress has no power to resort to
other measures (though really
there has been SO much assumpt-
ion Of power by congress that it
is now difficult to define it's con-
Observation-Disclosures. But surely
concordant action Of congress
and the state legislature can sup<
press a species of gambling
which, for the greed Of a few
speculate RS, is now taxing the
laboring people of the country
more heavily than any state or
federal executions.

PROPOSED REUNION OF
TILE BLUE AND GRAY
A Controversy in Pennsylvania
That Is Interesting Many Union
Veterans Here.

There is considerable interest taken
among Grand Army men here in the con-
troversy now going on in Pennsylvania
over the proposition to hold a reunion of
Union and Confederate veterans in Phil
adelphia on the Fourth eff July next.
There is strong opposition to the scheme
in some quarters in the Keystone State.
In others it is mpeting with approval.
There i2 an idea prevalent among a
number of people-a limited number, how
ever-that these proposed fraternal gath
erings of the Blue and the Gray have for
a final purpose the hlending of the Grand
Army of the Republic and the Confederate
Veterans organization in one body. This
is an erroneous notion that, Union veter-
ans insist, never can, never will be real
ized. The rituals of the two bodies are so
distant that such result can never be
obtained. In fact, neither the Grand Army
nor the Confederate Veterans would ever
consent to such a union.
The idea of the Northern and Southern
veterans coming together in celebration
first took root when, in 1893, the Confed-
crate veterans held their grand encamp.
