ALL WANT PEACE.
NJ. Cambon says TINT M Great Power
Wants n War.

WANTS war
London, January 1.-THE French am
bassador to Great Britain, N. Paul Cam
bon, replying to an address Of the inter-
national arbitration association at the en-
bassy here today. said no feeling of hos
tility toward the British existed in France.
The press on both sides, he added, had
exaggerated the little friction over the
Fashoda incident which was only tenn
porary. He assured the people OF Great
britain that neither the French nation nor
the government of France desired war,
and. speaking from experience, M. Cambon
could say that no European nation desired
war. On the contrary, there was an eurn-
est wish for peace and France cordially
supported the cars aims. but the am
bassador expressed the fear that their
practical realization will be a long time
coming.

There is evidence Of ono good result as an
outcome OF the arguments, pro and con. on
the subject OF territorial expansion II has
set distinguished republican statesmen to
studying tho provisions of the Federal con
stitution. How much need OF this elementary
Information existed ia well illustrated by tho

ord. senator Caffery vas interrupted
In an argument he was making by
Senator spooner. who asked him from
what authority he was reading. Mr. Caffery
informed the distinguished statesman from
Wisconsin that he was quoting from the Con-

tuition has been such an Inconvenience to
tho republican party from the beginning Of
Its existence that the study of that instru-

Port Lsyscaen: The same super conscr-
vative set OF politicians over Texas that
has always opposed a law defining libel and
establishing just position between tho press
and the people is again at work and will

Press association. The measure Is more
mild II anything than what has been adopt
ed In other States and there can be no good
reason given for not passing II In Texas.

MUCH WATER IN THE WEST.
State Engineer Appreheids Trou-
BILE and Says Rivers Are
Very High.

Examinations of the Gunnison
and Grand rivers show that if the
furious rush of water continues
floods will be general along the
banks of both streams" said State
Engineer McCune yesterday on
his return from tour of the state.
THE water at present is abnor-
mally high" said the engineer,
"and if it remained at its present
standard there would be no dan
ger, but as the warm weather ap-
proaches the danger increases
The rivers may be said to be BOOM
ing and as the snow melts the
floods come down from the mount
aims in greater volume. 1t is
nothing serious at present, but
people will do.well to be warned.
THE damage of rushing water
was shown on several headgates
from the Gunnison river. A small
hole has been knocked into the
gates and the rushing water was
gradually wearing it into a danger
Gus opening The escape of water
would have resulted in disaster,
but repairs were ordered at once.
Engineer McCune examined
several state roads. The road in
Hinsdale county from Argenta
Falls to Animas Forks will be n
most simple engineering task and
the other road examined by the
engineer, from Montrose to Nat
chireto, will require but little ad-
ditional skill TO build. Prelimin-
airy arrangements for surveys were
made and the details of contract
planned, The engineer hopes to
begin work in about thirty days,

TILE FREE LIST.
1T WAS A MISTAKE.

Last nights council proceedings
have perhaps caused more discus
sion and more comment than any
action of the board that has occur
red in many moons Not only is
the legality of the business trans
acted by the four members of the
board debated, but the action of
the mayor and Trustee Lewis in
wilfully absenting themselves from
the meeting, after a recess for five
minutes had been arbitrarily de-
clared by the mayor, has also
caused much unfavorable COM
ment.
In considering the latter matter,
however, the legality of the action
of the four members does not en-
ter in. The purpose of Mcclure
and Lewis was obviously. to block
legislation, and will not appear to
fair minded people as a commend
able action.
The TRIBUNE has admired May
or Mcclure for his answering
manner of conducting the water
works affairs, and he has shown
himself an able presiding officer.
For these things he deserves great
credit. His action last night,
however, in deliberately withdraw
ing from the meeting because he
saw that majority of the board
would defeat his candidates. THE
TRIBUNE believes to have been a
grave mistake, and these columns
cannot endorse such tactics on the
part of any official. A minority of
any deliberative body should yield
gracefully to the will of the major
ity and not resort to desperate
measures to thwart the manifest
wish of such majority.
BY last nights proceedings the
city council will unquestionably
be divided body in the future,
whereas, had the question of ap-
pointments been settled amicably
in all proba bility no future disrup-
tions would occur.
The proceedings on the part of
these recreant officials is to be
deeply regretted, but it is to be
hoped that no further trouble will
grow out of it.
