Perhaps no discussion Of in abstract

interest as the one started BY Judge Sim

Baldwin delivered an address before the
American Bar association, taking this fol

IN all its various phases BY intelligent

Prominent thinkers are now preparing
their views on this subject, and the has

presentation of such a radical idea in
such d fofcibie manner is capable Of good
hard thinking himself and fully able to
express his thoughts in the most terse
and forceful fashion.
Judge Baldwin is a member OF the SUI

of the American Bar association. He has
for years held a professorship in the Yale
Law school. His father was Roger S.

About a year ago last July the french

and Captain Chanoine the mission to
continue the exploration Of the territory
situated north of the Franco English
frontier from the Niger to Lake Tchad.
The two captains organized a force com
prising 20 Sudanese Spahis Of the regu-
lar army, 80 Sudanese riflemen, 200 arm
ed auxiliarfes and 1000 bearers and
promptly started on their journey. They
apparently made good progress, and the
home government had no cause for dis
satisfaction until last April, when ru-

Captain Chanoine had been guilty OF
abominable acts OF cruelty, the specific

and presumably force the currents Of cold
air up higher and dissipate the clouds
which bear hail.
Sometimes these clouds are driven
away, and sometimes it is the cold air
which vanishes, leaving in its place warm
air, which causes the hail to turn into
rain. 1t is sud, too, that the smoke has
something to do with the result, perhaps
by chemical action upon the clouds.

charges being that they had wanfenly
set fire to Villages and had co3demned to
death in a horrible manner those natives
who made any resistance, sparing nei-
Their women nor children. These rumors
were confirmed By Lieutenant Peteau, q
member Of the mission, and thereupon
the government ordered that an officer
Of superior rank be sent after the mis-
sion to institute en- inquiry and to arrest
the officers II tho charges were substan-
tiated.
Lieutenant Colonel Klobb was selected
for this delicate task, says the New York
Herald, and he left Hayes, With Lieutcn-
ant Alaynier and an escort Of 20 men, on
April / of this year. On July IA the par
ty overlook the mission at Timber, near
Doraanger, and Klobb at oaee made his
presence known to Voulet, who replied
that he would shoot him II he ~advaaced-
This threat had no effect upon Klobb,
who continued to advance In spite OF
Voulet's repeated threats that he would
shoot him il he did not halt. Finally,
when Klobb and his party were within
$50 yards Of youlet's troops, the latter,
ia compliance with their captains order,
fired three yolleys, as a result Of which
klobb and Meynier were killed. Klebb
was wounded in the leg By the FIRST vol
ley and was subsequently dispatched by
being shot Ii the head.
VouIet then ordered a bayonet charge,
and the remaining members of Kl0bb's
party fed, carrying their wounded with
them and leaving, besides the two oH-
GERS, nine dead. The survivors, ten Of
whom were wounded, reached Dosso I'M
der the command Of a native sergeant.
AS for the Voulet-C haneine mission, 1t
took to the bush, and no n knows at
present Just where It's members are. The
French government, however, VIII soon
know, for it has taken sSeps to arrest
Foulet on the charge Of numbering klebb
and hEeynier, and it has instructed the
other French missions in Africa, the Fo-
rcau-Lamy and the Gentil-Bretennet
missions, to hunt for him at nee. That
they. will succeed In capturing him is by
no means certain, as he may try to es-
cape arrest by taking to the Sahara, and
if he does that he and his companions are
sure to die Of starvation and thirst.
In regard to the motives Tor the crimes
attributed to ChaRoine and Foulet, those
Of cruelty toward natives and Of assas-
.sinating their brother officers, there has
been and still is much speculation. NJ. j..

excites more sadness than horror. On
