The Cleveland (Ohio> Chamber of
Commerce has recently published an
address of President Charles F. Thwing,
ID. d., LII. D., of Western Reserve Uni
versity, on "'The College and the Com
munity," In which he says: 81 do not
fail to appreciate, trust, the advantage
that may accrue to certain youth through
residence away from home. The advan-
tage of independence is. great. Some
youths can endure this advantage and
receive profit; some youths enduring it
suffer harm. But it Is safe to say that
for the large majority of girls and boys
it is better for them to attend college
in their own city than for them to mi
CRATE to foreign parts. Better for them
better for parents, better for the home,
better for all social relations. As | COM
pare the yonths who have gone abroad
for their education with those who have
been educated in colleges in the towns
of their own homes, frequently find a
courtesy of bearing, gentleness of de-
meanor, as well as a strength of intellect
to be placed to the credit of the home
! college youth"

REVERSED HIS DECISION.
Controller TraceyeII on the Pay Due
to Soldiers.

X. j. Tracewell controller of the treas
TRY, today sent the following important
staten ent to the auditor for the War De-
partment:
Sir: In decision constituting a statute
rendered by me on September 80, 1898, I
used the following language: For all paw
ments made by the governor to such mill
tiamen for services rendered by them be-
tween the day on which they had thar
names enrolled for service in the vorun-
taer army and Joined for duty therein,
which is the day their pay and allowances
shall be deemed to commence by the United
States, under the act of July T. 1898 go
Stat. 72D, and the day they were after
ward accepted into the United States de-
ductions should be made by the pay de-
partmant of the United States from the
pay that would be due the soldier if such
payments had not been made by the gov
ernor, in order to prevent a double pay
ment to the soldier, which the law does
not contemplate
ION more mature deliberation I am Of
the opinion that was wrong in such hold
ing. No deductions should be made by the
pay department from the pay that would
be due a soldier under the act of July Z
1898 go Stat, 12D, on account of any pay
ment that may have been made under the
state militia law to him by the governor
or state authorities from the date of his
enrolment or joining for duty to the date
OF his acceptance into the volunteer army
of the United States.
The governor or state authorities make
TINS payment to him as state soldier, and
because Congress has seen fit by the act
of July 8, 1898 go Stat, 1900, to reimburse
the governor or state for these payments
is no sufficient reason for the government.
by lndirectlon, to take away from the SOL
dler what had been paid him by a state.
and no sufficient reason why the act of
July I, 1898 go Stat. 72D, should be
evaded.
Hence / hold that no stoppage or deduc-
tion should be made in a soldiers paw on
account OF any payments made to him by
the governor of state or state authorities
as militiaman before his acceptance into
the volunteer army of the United States,
and said decision Is modified as herein set

bon, replying TO an address of the Inter
national Arbitration Association at the en-
bassy here today, said no feeling of hostili-

The press on both sides, he added had ex-
aggerated the little friction over the Fasho-
da incident, which was only temporary
He assured the people Of Great Britain
that neither the French nation nor the gov
ernment of France desired war, and
speaking from experience, Cambon could
say that no European nation desired war
on the contrary, there was an earnest wish
for peace, and France cordially supported
the czar's aims, but the ambassador ex-
pressed the fear that their practical realiza-
tion will be a long time coming.

THE CITY POSTMASTER.
\ Successor to MIR. WiIIett May Not
he Named for Some Time

AT the White House today 1t was stated
on good authority that the President may
not select successor to Postmaster Willett
until after March 4. when he will have time
to handle the matter without detriment to
important public affairs 1t is also urged
that Postmaster Wil,ett has much to do in
getting business down to a system in his
new quarters, and that it would be unfair
to new man to put him in harness before
everything is in satisfactory shape. The
officials of the Post Office Department real
ize that new man would have big under
taking and may recommend delay in the
nomination of Mr.. Willetts successor.
Officials in position to be good judges of
the probabilities express the belief that the
Detroit man Madden has fewer chances
now than ever before of becoming post
master.

evidence that 10 per cent of the representa-

retary Bauer has communications from the
various locals, but says that he cannot give
out anything for publication until the ex-
eCutive council meets. Bauer told labor
leaders here, however, that startling deveI-
opmeuts could be expected.
The federation appointed the committee to
ascertain the facts and prosecute the guilty
parties.
