describing the company's earnings as
disappointing" He has plans for
more ships, 1t is explained, and seems
disposed to regard 1t as the best policy
to use the available moneys for ex-
tending and better equipping the
property. This suggestion is taken by
some insiders to be a "feeler" as to
how the shareholders would regard the
plan to suspend dividend payments fol
while. Plans credited to James ]
Hill for developing the China and ia.
pan trade by establishing a large feet
of steamers are said to be the source OF
the Pacific Mails anxiety.

! FRENCH PAPERS ATTACK GREAT BRITAIN

which will henceforth become a British
monopoly"
The Petit Journal and the Croix with
its herd of subsidiary Croix, through
out the provinces, are also preaching
a crusade against England and ignore
facts with the same complacency that
they did during the Dreyfus campaign.
M. Milelvoye, Judet and Drumont made
up their minds that the outbreak of
hostilities would be marked with vic
tories for the Beers. News of the bat
ties of Glencoe and Glands Laagte has
not altered the preconceived notions
Of these stormy petrels of France.
The violence of the irrepressible Ma
tionalist press causes no little uneasi-
ness at the Quai d'Orsay, and also
among Frenchmen of evenly balanced
minds who fear retribution may come
in shape which may affect the ex-
hibition of 1900 and injure the pockets
of French tradesmen. M. Yves Guyof
has had the courage to point out In
the Steele that there are two sides to
the Transvaal question and that John
Bull is, after all, Frances best GUS
toner. The Figaro is beginning to
take the same grounds.
New York, Nov "a special to the
Herald from Washington says: In Or

already being raised in certain politi-
cal quarters and preliminary to the APP
pointment Of civil governors. Presi-
dent Mckinley and Secretary Root are
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of with
drawing troops from Cuba and Porto
Rico.
There are now in Cuba 39l officers
and 1896 men, and in Porto Rico los
officers and 1856 men.
In his annual report just submitted
to Secretary Root, Brigadier-G General
Wood. commanding the Department OF
Santiago, declares he has too many
troops. Secretary Root telegraphed
General Wood today to make supple
mental report as to the number of men
in his department and the number
which can with safety be withdrawn
Instructions were sent several days ago
to General Brooke, commanding the
division of Cuba, to report upon the
ACCESSIBILITY of withdrawing troops.
His reply was not favorable to the pro-
position. The conditions in the island,
In his opinion, necessitated the reten-
ton of all the men now under his COM
mand.
1t is understood that Brigadier- Gen
eral Lee, commanding the provinces Of
Havana and Pinar del Rio, has inform
ed the President that. In his opinion,
all the men in Cuba should remain.
Upon the arrival of General Ludlow
here he will be asked to give his opin-
ion respecting the ACCESSIBILITY of re-
ducing the military force in the island.
In Porto Rico, 1t is said, military
officers feel that the force there can be
reduced and II is expected some bat
talions will be brought home and sta
toned in this country.

Death of Mrs. Morris Southland.

Mrs. Morris Southland died at four
o'clock yesterday morning at her home,
1877 Saginaw street. She was operated
upon Saturday for tumor, and for a
time seemed to rally well from the OPP
Grafton but her strength, however, had
become too much undermined by her
illness and she soon began to fail and
continued to do so until her death.
The death, thus while not totally unex-
pected, was sudden shock to many
friends

Mrs S. Chaplin, now of Ypsilanti, and
the late James A. Chaplin, of Bennington.
She was born in Portland but the most
of her life was spent in Bennington and
in this city. She was married seven
teen years ago to Morris Southland who
has occupied responsible position
in the Reimer hardware store on North
Washington street for years Besides
her husband and her mother Mrs.
| Southland leaves two sisters, Mrs. Nellie
Godfrey and Miss Mate Chaplin, who
| finish their course in the Ypsilanti
Normal this spring. A neice, Miss
Pearl Eddy, has also made her home
with Mr.. and Mrs. Southland.
During her stay in this city Mrs.
Southland has been quiet, home loving
and home making woman, who never
theless found time to make and hold
many close friends in spite of her retir-
ing disposition. Though prevented on
account of i'll health from carrying on
the most active kind of church work
she had thoroughly christian charac-
ter which has left its influence for good
upon her associates.
The funeral will be held at the house
tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock.
The services will DO conducted by Rev
Strong, Of Bennington, who married
Mr.. and Mrs. Southland Rev. George

Il Is not generally known that Piet

Joubert Is an honest man according
