In the Illustrated Supplement of Sunday
March . The Tribune published a sketch OF
Paul D6rOulade. the French soldier, poet and
political reformer head Of the League OF
Patriots commenting on his political agitation
and giving also some of his poems Of soldier
life some in transations and some in the
original French. NJ. DerOulede. has read the
article with interest. but with feeling that his
political position has not been correctly stated.
Two letters from him concerning The Tribune's
article have been received in this Office, in which
he commends The Tribunes treatment OF his
poems and states his views Of t. situation in
France and his purpose in trying TO alter It.

THE FMIR OF GARUA.
An African Potentate Surrounded
by HniI-CIad Warriors.


An acquaintance of mine who has lived
some considerable time in the upper
reaches OF the Binue sends me an inter-
esting account of the meeting with the
Fulani Emir of Garua. The account as a
piece of unwritten history affords an at
tractive peep into a littleknown world,
where the picturesque has not yet disap
peared before the all-leveling properties o.
civilization and the Maxim gun.
1T was in August, 1895, says my corre-
spondent. when | was at YOla (YOla is

rewarded by very picturesque sight.
Seated on grass mat was man OF about
40 years OF age. tall 1.-the, finely made.

one of the pure breed. that has never inter
mingled with the native element. Round
his shoulders hung a white robe, spouess-
ly clean, and lined with shining indigo
dyed cloth. He wore baggy, green silk
trousers and sandals; on his head was fixed
one of the enormous Kano straw hats,
some three feet in circumference. He was
surrounded by some thirty or forty sol
diers. armed with swords and spears and
few rifles.
What greatly struck me was the ar
NOR worn by these soldiers. They had
surcoats of chain mail and helmets on
which the sun glinted. II made an extra
ordinary picture-there in that wild place,
nine hundred miles in the interior OF the
continent-a scene from some medieval
play in savage Africa. The armor, | after
ward ascertained. came from Bornu. The
Emir greeted me very coolly in the Fulani
tongue, and held out his hand without ris-
ing He hoped to receive a present, but l
did not ofler him one. and he was too
proud to ask. We parted after the usual
interchange of eourtesies. 1t was one OF
the most interesting interviews ever held

An incident of the forest fires in the hills
of the Descanso neghborhood, in Southern
California. illustrates the comradeship that
common peril brings about among beasts
as well as among men After the flames
had completed their work of destruction
and spread a pail over the hills, a rancher
went forth among the charred stumps and
smoking bruShheaps to look for number
of cattle and colts which ne feared had
been hemmed in by the fire He went
across gully and ridge in his search. until
at last he saw his stock some little dis
tance ahead. He was more than astOnish-
ed upon coming up TO the group to find
not only his cattle and colts, but Il deer,
three wildcats, a coyote. and several rab-
bits, all alive and apparently in no lear

Indifference. the timidity gone from the
big-eyed deer. no venom in the wildcats

But the poor coyote was in pain. and as
the farmer came close the erstwhile rob-
ber OF the rOOst dragged his helpless hind
quarters toward the man in mute suppli-
cation. The legs OF the animal had been
frightfuIly burned
The rancher was in no mood to make
friends of such strange creatures, and at
once drove his stock through the smol-
dering brush the deer going along with the
cattle, the rabbits hopping along at the

along behind. and the coyote. unable 10

The first step in the creation OF this

In this way ii is hoped to handle the en-
tire silver force as a united and har,no-
NOUS body. instead of depending on
fusions and alliances. Orders will pro-
ceed from a central head in this city
where the society will have its headluar-
ters. Other reasons than the mere ad-
vantages derived from thorough organi-
zation have led to the promotion of this
silver society. The managers OF the last
Democratic campaign have noted the
movement to shelve the money issue and
find another platform for the Democrats
to support in 1900 and they have grave
fears lest that result in other leaders
securing the reins of party power
Chairman Jones and the other chief
lieutenants of Colonel Bryan believe the
next Presidential campaign should and
must be fought on the money issue and
the Chicago platform. They believe the
question of expansion will be settled. or
practically so before 1000 Put tho baras,.
of these new issues has made gaps in the
ranks OF the party organization, and it
has been found necessary to close up and

Jones. when asked about the new organi-

but finally admitted it's existence and his
connection with it as chairman of the
central committee. He said, laying much
stress upon the point that il was social
