PRESIDENT FAuRE's FUNERAL.
LOubets Coming Message to the
French Parliament.

Paris Feb. 2O-In the Chamber of Depu-
ties to-day the premier. NJ. Dupuy, asked
for a credit of 10000 francs to defray the
expenses of the obsequies Of the late Presi-
dent Felix Faure.
NJ. De Jeante, Socialist, asked that the
obsequies be purely civil. This drew forth
murmurs and protests from the Rightists
and Centralsts, who threatened TO leave
the chamber.
The president Of the Chamber of Depu-
ties, NJ. Deschanel, interpreted NJ. De-
Jeante several times. calling upon him to
respect the stricken family Of the deceas-
ed.
NJ De Jeantes motion was rejected by
a vote Of 444 10 6S, and the credit was
adopted by vote of 463 to 42.
The chamber unanimously decided to at
tend the departure of the body from the
Elysee palace on Thursday.
Considerable comment has been caused
by the fact that priest was summoned to
M. Faures bedside, although the President
was a stanch Freemason.
NJ. De Jeanie, Socialist, raised the sub
ject in the Chamber of Deputies to-day. NJ
LEGAL, the Presidents private secretary
when questioned, declared that M Faure
while conscious, twice asked that a priest
be brought.
According to the best authority, NJ. Lou
bets message to Parliament will not be
lengthy document. After returning thanks
for his election, affirming his respect for
the constitution and pledging himself to
uphold it faithfully, both in spirit and let
ter, the President will appeal warmly for
pacifcation and concord, and viii eu.ogize
the army and express the hope that the
country will, in its attachment to the
army and its respect for justice, speedily
witness the restoration of harmony and
the solution of questions that are agitat-
ing the nation
The President will then recall the fact
that he has always devoted himself TO
the study of labor ana social questions,
Industrial matters, financial economy and
the organization of industry, and he will
insist upon Parliament dealing with these
questions i'm a practical and faithful man
ner.
Regarding foreign nations. the message
will say that in her relations with foreign
ns tons, France will pursue policy which
will remain faithful to friendship formed,
and which by its correctness and dsn-
terestedness, will conform to the traditions
of her history. This policy will be the
surest guarantee of peace and best calcu-
lated to maintain the place which France
now occupies in the world The demon
tstrations have entirely ceased perhaps
only uttli aItef the FUNERAL or NJ. Faure,
but the aspect is altogether more hopeful
and President Loubetsf seat seems per-
menent.
He is credited with the declaration that
he will resist stronsi any attempt at
disturbances. and has reatfirmed his in
tention to retain the Dupuy cabinet, a step
which tends to remove the suspicion that
he is a Dreyfusard.
He has followed the custom of giving
holiday remission of punishments to the
army and navy. and has made large dona-
tions to the poor in Paris and Monteli-
mar, his native town.

BRYAN WARMLY RECEIVED.

Pontiac, Mich, Feb. 20.--Oakland county
democracy gave Col. Bryan a most enthu-
siastic reception here to-day The demon
stration has not been equalled by any
thing of the kind since the campaign of
1896.
The city was crowded with people from
the surrounding county, and many towns,
including many from Detroit and Grand
Rapids Col. Bryan came over from De-
troit at noon and spent the afternoon at
the hotel, where he shook hands with
thousands.
Tonight the Jefferson Club gave a BAN
quet, at which plates were laid for a thou
sand guests Ex-Congressman Tarsney
was POSTMASTER, and addresses were made
by Thomas e. Barkworth Of jackson, and
others preceding the guest OF honor.
Col. Bryan's remarks followed closely
the lines of his Ann Arbor speech. He re-
iierated the statement that the fighting
at Manila could be stopped easily by the
President, who could make friends instead
of foes of the Filipinos by merely assuring
them that the American soldiers are not
there to subjugate them and rob them of
their independence but 10 maintain order
and help them 20 establish a stable gov
ernment.
Col Bryan will leave for Washington

Washington, Feb. 2O.-The Amerlcan-Ca-

session adjouned to meet at quebec Aug 2.
unless the chairman of respective commit
tees agree upon another date
The commission first began It's labors
nearly six months ago in Canada and has.

comphsh the object for which II was ap-
poin ted--an agreement with a view to the
formations of a treaty covering the many
perplexlng questions of differences affect
ing business interests of the United States
and Canada existing between them. There
were several reasons which prompted the
action taken to-day.
From a statement made public with the
sanction of the two commissions, II appears
that there We're serious differences Of
opinion between them regarding the i'm
portant matter of the delimitation Of the
Alaskan boundary.
Then too, the time for the meeting of
the Canadian Parliament at which the
presence of members Of the commission
ers from that country is desired, is over
due, and the latter are anxious to re-
turn as soon as possible IL also became
apparent that there was little likelihood
of the possibility of the ratification by the
United States Senate at ats present session
of any treaty which might be framed
which also probably figured in the decis-
ion to adjourn.
A dozen important questions were refer
red to the commission for its consideration,
and the commissionersassert that sub

Washington, Feb. 2O-(SpeciaD. Mem
bers of the Georgia delegation in Congress
were surprised tonight when they read
in the afternoon papers that the Third
Georgia Regiment volunteers, now on duty
at Nuevitas, Cuba, is to be ordered home
and mustered out of the service.
Orderes were issued at the war depart
ment to-day providing for the muster out
of about 5000 volunteers, and the Third
Georgia is included in the list of regiments
selected for retirement from the service.
All of the troops now In Cuba. included
in to-day's order, are directed to proceed
to Savannah, where they are to be mus
tered out
The same order provides for the muster
ing out of the volunteers at the Augusta
Ca, and Greenville. S. c., camps.
To Push the Army Bill.
This unexpected reduction of the volun-
teer force is supposed to be in the interest
of the speedy passage of the army reor-
ganZaton bill, which was taken up i'm the
Senate to-day, at the instance of the ad-
ministration. II is said that a number of
the volunteer troops are anxious to enter
the regular army, while others are plead
ing with their congressman 20 secure their
immediate discharge.
If the army bin goes through Congress
this session, as now seems probable, there
will be ample room for the volunteers who
desire to remain in the army to re-enlist
therein.
Officers Must Take Chances.
1t will make considerable difference to the
officers OF the volunteer regiments who are
willing TO remain in the service at their
present rank. 1t is proposed to take care
of as many of tie volunteer officers as pos
sible under the new bin, but they viii have
to compete with aspirants from the mill
tary academy and the non-commissiQned
staff of the army.
The indications are that a compromise
measure providing for a temporary IN
crease in the army will pass this session,
but the exact details are hard TO figure
out at this moment.
some May Re-enIist.
How many Of the Georgia volunteers
win care to enlist in the regular army re-
mains to be seen. II was thought that
the Third Georgia would be among the
very last of the volunteers to be mustered
out in view of the trouble the Georgia
congressman had In retaining them in the
service, and in getting them an assign-
ment to duty in Cuba.
The order issued to-day Is positive. No
effort will be made to have IL revoked so
far az it relates to Georgia troops.
