(From the st. James Gazette)
The up-to- dateness of our music hall
managers in obtaining Captain Marchand's
arrival at Toulon as a subject for the bio
graph has afforded test of how the per-
sonality Of that explorer is regarded by the
public in this country. and We regret to
say that the result is not entirely satisfac-
tory to the British character for fair play
The mass Of the audience, it is true do
justice to brave man without regard to
the character Of his mission; but. still the
number of malcontents is considerable, and
we'll dressed but narrow minded individ-
uals in the stalls are found to hiss vigor-
ously. Captain Marchand is entitled to the
benefit Of the distinction that Mr. Balfour
drew the other day. in Lord Kitchener's
case, between the policy of his government
and the executive ability of the soldier who
is selected to carry it out. In his two
years journey across Africa Captain Mar
chand met and surmounted an insurrection
among his own men. an attack of fever. a
hostile meeting, in which he destroyed
thirty villages, the difficulties of transport
ing goods and boats for 1000 miles by
river dragging them overland past water
falls and rapids, and the attacks of hippo
potami. and if his journey. when brought
to close, proved fruitless. that is not his
fault, but his governments.

June and be certain Of finding one open
to her in September.
A Boston charitable society-and Boston
is city where great many women are
employed-has contrived way to help
these girls. II is proposed that hotel
be built especially for working girls, in
some seaside nook. and equipped with all
that can make such a place attractive;
and that the price of board be reduced to
the lowest possible figure. The advocates
Of the plan say that il there are few
rich people willing to loan money to this
enterprise. without expecting incomes on
the investment, it will be perfectly prac-
ticable. If. in addition to those who pay
their expenses, it seems desirable to &C.
commodate others who cannot, it will be
easy to do this without labelling the recip-
lent of the charity as a pauper.
There is not much doubt that the class
of girls for whom this is intended Will
fully appreciate it. They are not of the
kind that go to expensive seaside or noun
tain resorts and bemoan themselves be-
cause the place is not lively enough for
them. nor do they spend all their time in
criticising each other. The mere oppor-
tunity to enjoy the freedom and fresh air
of place in the country. in company with
some girl friend, would mean boundless
happiness to most of them. Such house
with good, wholesome food, comfortable
furniture. extensive grounds, and supply
of light literature for rainy days. would
be an earthly paradise for many an acne
mic, tired-out shop girl, and she would
have the comfort of feeling that she was
in debt for nothing beyond kindly thought
and planning for her comfort.

and got into deep water. He was not a
good swimmer. and his companions could

vOr and the AdministratiOn.
Detroit. Mich, June 28.-If Governor
Pfngree Is determined to contest with Nc
Kinley for the Michigan delegation to next
years National Convention. using the AL
ger Senatorial candidacy as leverage,
politicians say it will be necessary for tie
Secretary of War to resign from the Cabi-
net.
With Pingree supporting Alger and oc-
casionally breaking out in characteristic
assaults on the Administration and its
policy, Alger would be compelled to break
with either the President or the governor.
II he should break with the governor he
could not hope to win the Senatorstip.
Should he desert the President with a
view to using his Senatorial candidacy 10
secure the State delegation for Pingree IS
Presidential possibility. the Mex nley
cohorts would bury him. Michigan is a
Mckinley State beyond question. Cover
nor Pingree is able to control it for many
purposes, but not against the Admins
tration. II all. the leaders united against
Mckinley the conservative farmers, wtO
make up the Republican majority, would
take the State convention away from them
and send delegation to the convention TO
vote for the President.
In addition to that. Governor Pingree is
by no means as strong in the State as he
formerly was. His failure to secure legs
lation along the lines he advocates has
greatly weakened him.
But Secretary Alger's friends and Alger
himself are sure that Pingree has no de-
sire for the Presidential nomination next
year. The Secretary has repeatedly said
that it is not his understanding that FiD-
gree would be candidate, but the COVER
nor looks wise and says nothing, except
that his espousal of Ayers cause is fo-
the sole purpose of defeating Senator Nc
MILAN. Nevertheless, it is believed that
the governor has never abandoned his de-
sire to round out his picturesque career
in the White House. If he finds that his
with Alger conduces to that
ambition he will not hesitate to make the
most Of it how, next year. or in 1904.

When the alien mining law of British

that the new placers were in American
