STATUE OF ROCHANBEAU.
The President Expresses the Interest
of the Nation in Its Erection.

Tho French ambassador has received the
following letter from Secretary Hay express
ing the cordial approval of President Nc
kinley of the project to erect a statue to
the distinguished French officer. Rocham-
beau, at the place of MS birth:
'Eycellcncy: The President directs me to
acknowledge the reCc pt, through your kind
ness. of the letter of the committee of the
city of Nendome having charge of the cree
tion of a statue to the General Comte de
KoChambeau.
He trusts your excelency will express
his thanks to the committe for their cour-
teSy, and assure them of the interest which
he and all Americans feel in this tribute to
the memory of one of the most distinguish
ed heroes of the war of independence. The
renOwn of those gallant Frenchmen who
then fought by the side of our own soldiers
Will always serve tie of friendship be-
tween the two HationS.
Il am, my dear ambassador. with sent-
ments of the highest consideration. your
Obcdicnt servant, JOHN HAY.
The committee referred to has been form
ed in Paris and includes numerous states
men and distinguished gentlemen of France,
with Mr.. .Lemyrc de Villers, member of the
chamber of representatives. honorary am
bassador and former governor general Of
TOmkin. Cochin China, and of Madagascar.
as president of the committee The statue
will be probably unveiled in September or
October
Some significance attaches to this partlc
ular statue. as it is expressive of the Off
Cial good will of the government Of France
toward the United States during the reVolu-
tOnary struggle. When France decided,
during the war of independence, to come to
the aid of the United States COmte Ro-
chambeau. one of the first field marshals of
France. was sent in command of the army
which was placed at the service of Wash
inston. About the same time Lafayette
came on his own account, and by his per-
sonal qualities as we'll as his bravery
dcared himself to the American commander.
In speaking of these two distinguished
FTcnchmen Il prominent French official said
today: Lafayette represented the heart of
France and RDchambeau represented the
government" 1t is because of this govern
mental attitude which Rochambcau bore to
the American struggle that the present
movement. both here and in France, has
more than the usual interest attaching to
a statue.

There was a hurried movement by the
awaiting politicians who followed up the
line, which strained under the load. Mr..
Croker was soon pressed on all sides and
finally found his position so uncomfortable
that he FASTENED into the main saloon.
The crowd behind followed until he stood
at the foot of the stairway leading to the
upper deck. Up these went Mr.. Croker
quickly, his friends and political adherents
right on his heels. When the promenade
deck was reached he was again surrounded
