NNER IN .ERANCE.

MT. Kruger probably doesn't feel very we'll, but he must feel some better than he did before he landed at Marseilles yesterday. He had an exceedingly hearty reception there, which would justify him in feeling that he has some friends left. To be sure, he knows that French dislike of the English has as much to do with the warmth of his well come to France as sympathy with the Boers, but he wont want to inquire too closely into the causes of a demonstra- tion which on the face of 1t is cheering to him and the other Boers.
 It appears that though MT. Kruger is just now away from the war he has the Hast ditch idea. He said to the people of Marseilles: T have fought with savages, but the present war is even worse. We will never surrender. We are determined to fight to the last extremity, and if the republics of the Transvaal and Orange Free State lose their independence it will be because they have lost every man, woman and child" Just what this strenuous dec laraton means remains to be seen. Perhaps it will turn out that even if Mr. Kruger is willing to die in the last ditch some of those whom he represents will not think it a sensible thing to do.

Germans, to be put to death in bar barous manner and took a hand in the murder himself. The act was one of Wanton cruelty without cause, as the man was talking in a friendly manner at the time to the Prince, who had summoned him to his tent. A military court sentenced the Prince to a few months imprisonment, but the Kaiser insisted on new trial and thorough investigation.

TINDICA TED.

While St. Louis has been charging Chicago with reckless disregard of the
 welfare of St. Louis Chicago has stead-
 lastly claimed that her drainage canal
 would be a good thing for St. Louis.
 Now Chicago is pointing with pride to
 the fact that while the records of the
 St Louis health department have shown
 steady mortality from typhoid fever
 for many years past, since the opening of the Chicago drainage canal there has been a perceptible decrease in the | St. Louis death rate from this disease During the ten months January 1 to October 31, 1900, there were 134 deaths from typhoid in that city, or 1.94 per-
 sons for every 10000 of the population.
 The average deaths during the corre- sponding period of the previous decade
 were 1165, or 204 persons for every
 i0, ,0OC of the population. This is re- duction of nearly per cent. from the average typhoid mortality of the per- iod before the channel was opened. Had it not been, says Chicago, for the purifying effects of Chicago's drainage canal it is fair to presume that the for mer mortality rate would have prevail ed and there would have been 275 ty- phoid deaths during the past ten months instead of 134.
 And this isn't all. It is announced that St. Louis has given up all oppo sition to the drainage canal. Its eyes tablishing water communication be- tween itself and the city on the lake. St. Louis commercial men will now ap- pear in Washington with Chicagoans, and try to make Congress see the wis dom oc constructing a fourteen foot channel from Chicago to the Mississip- | pi, whence there is an even greater | depth of water to the Gulf. If not | enough money can be secured to con struct such a waterway, as much as can be will be gladly accepted, and | this will be made to go as far as pos sible toward preparing for an ultimate | 1epth of fourteen feet.
 Thus is Chicago vind:cated. It is a great triumph for her sagacity and foresight. e

SOME CHEERING TESTIMONY,

| There is a plausible theory that Wo- lowering herself and with benefit to de- graded men. There has been some tes- timony that Womans participation in politics in Colorado hasn't been a good thing for her, or for the men who need
 ed her gentle and inspiring influence. But the testimony of Secretary Long
 will give new encouragement to those
 who believe that whatever Woman
 wants to do she can do well. Secretary
 Long was in Denver at election time,
 and he took a good look at the working
 of the woman's suffrage law. On elec-
 tion day he was at the polls in one of
 the wards where there were more than a thousand votes registered and where s99 actually voted Nothing, he says, could be more orderly or better con- ducted. Men and women lined up in the usual fashion, taking their turn at the ballot box, and after depositing  their votes went about their business. A few women and few men, perhaps more men than women, were active in bringing voters to the polls. But there was nothing to jar the most sensitive spectator. On the contrary, it was the exercise in becoming way and in a fine spirit of the interest which every man or woman, ought to feel in such an important event as pres idential election. The tendency is to elevate and broaden, and not to degrade or impair.
 This is the way Woman ought to be- have on election day, and that she does behave so is proof that she knows her duty and does it.

Montmartre's eccentric cafes have re- ceived their deathblow through the ex- position. Those that were transferred to the exposition grounds did not draw. The Matin accounts for this as follows: 'sAll the little dirty things that have too long been served to us might, at a pinch, be put up with when emitted from behind a piano in the tobacco smoke of rocking cafes. But spoken in broad daylight before crowd of pro- vincials and foreigners they sound de- plorably wretched and low" Another reason assigned is that while the cafes and their prices increased the quality of the songs deteriorated, and above all that the craze for Montmartre has gone by. Ut was the fashion to climb up to the Butter it is now the fashion not to go there. That's all.'
 The Philadelphia Telegraph tells a story of a certain minister of the gos- pei who likes to trade horses by way of recreation. By some means the preacher came into possession of a horse that wouldn't pull at all when he came to a hill. The parson found purchaser, who inquired particularly as to age, condition, and qualities of the parsons steed. At last he asked if he was tried butler. Tt would do your soul good to see him pull,' was the enthusiastic response. The trade was made, and in few days the new owner came back and claimed the parson had misrepresented the qualities of the animal q told you it would do your soul good to see him pull" The pur- chaser saw the point and dropped the subject.

The Georgia Women Suffrage Associ- ation has memorialized committees of the legislature of that State to permit women to serve on boards of education, to appoint women on the staff of physi- clans at the State sanitarium and to allow them to serve as presidents of the Georgia Normal and Industrial col 1ege at Mlledgeville. One of the lead ing suffragists was very caustic in ref erence to the house, and said it was plainly evident that women were sadly needed in that body. Another said the lobby in front of the hall needed a house-cleaning, and such state of af- fairs would not exist if women were allowed to help make the laws and look after the condition of the State capi- tol

British Government Awaiting Events Re
garding Nicaraguan Treaty.
LONDON, March 12.-No action has
been taken by the government regard
ing the change which has come over the
Nicaragua convention as reported
through the lengthy cable dispatches
dealing with the actions of the foreign
relations committee. The United States
government apparently has made no
representations to Lord Salisbury since
the convention was signed, and the af-
fair seems unlikely to be officially dis
cussed until the final congressional &C.
ton puts in such shape that it becomes
a matter for diplomatic reconsideration.
Pending this official opinion is reserved
and it is impossible to say what action
Great Britain is likely to take regarding
the senate's amendment of the treaty
The Pail Mall Gazette comments on
the new situation as follows:
'sThe foreign relations committee has
certainly gone far to wreck the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, if only for this rea-
son that powers other than the two
most directly concerned might refuse to
acquiesce in the modification, even if
the British government accepted it. A
fresh start, it may be, will have to be
made after the presidential election"

Clayton Bulwer treaty will prevail
again, its force having been recognized,
according to the officials, not only by
the executive branch of our government
in preparing this pending treaty, but
also by the senate of the United States,
as evidenced in the report which accom-
panied the treaty when it was presented
to the senate.

FRANCE WILL NOT INTERFERE

Realizes That Such q Step Might Bring
About HostiIities With England.
!. PARIS, March IA representative
of the Associated Press has secured
from a responsible mouthpiece of the
French government the following expo
sition of Frances attitude in the matter
of intervention in the Anglo Transvaal
war, which, it is said, has been solicited
by President Kruger. The official in
question said:
1--WE believe it is true that the Trans
vaal has sent request to the powers
for their Intervention, though up to
Tuesday morning President Kruger's
message has not reached us. As far as
France is concerned, she certainly will
not take the initiative in offer
ing England mediation, nor win
Russia, for the dual alliance is
naturally working together in
this question. We feel that in the pres
emit excited state of public feeling in
England. and especially as regards our
selves, any step taken by the French
government would defeat its own OBJ
iect and instead Of opening a way. to
honorable peace, would act as oil on
flames and probably only create fresh
complications. We consider that over
lures for mediation can emanate from
some power whose cordial relations with
England prevent such a suggestion
being construed as an unfriendly act.
The emperor of Germany, for instance,
might take the initiative, or President
Mckinley, without fear of creating
friction which stands in the way of any
such action on our part. After this is
done, full reliance can be placed ON the
unqualified support of France and Rus
STA, whose only desire is to see the end
of the bloodshed and who are eager to
lend their good offices in bringing about
this end

ANNA PARNELL's VIEW OF 1T

Queens Order to Irishmen to Wear the
Shamrock Considered an Insult.
DUBLIN, March 13.-Miss Anna Par
nell, sister of the late Charles Stewart
Parnel, publishes the following letter:
''Since the queen, whose Irish soldiers
have hitherto been punished if they ven-
tured to sport the shamrock, has now
ordered them to wear it as token of
their degradation, it seems to me those
Irish who do not wish to be identified
with the robber lords of South Africa
should take some notice of this insult to
their little plant, whose very humble
ness might have protected it from the
queen-empress. I suggest that those
who cannot refrain from wearing the
shamrock, should dip it into the ink
until the dishonor is wiped out by the
final triumph of the Beers, or in some
other way"

Is Not Ready
Up Assent to the independence
OF Either of the South Afri-
can Republics.
Brief Verbal Reply Declining
Secretary Hays Offer OF
Services.

LONDON, March 14.-4:41 p. MN
the house of lords the premier, Lord
Salisbury read the British governments
reply. to Presidents Kruger and Steyn.
Tie concluding sentence is as follows:
Y"Her majesty's government can only
answer your honors' telegram by saying
il is not prepared to assent to the indie
pendence of either the South African
Republic or the Orange Free State"
BERLIN, March 14.-It is semi officially
announced that when the Orange Free
State and the Transvaal addressed to
number of the larger and small states
request for friendly mediation, the Ger
man government replied that it would
willingly participate, provided the es-
sential condition of such mediation were
present, namely, the certainty that both
befigerents desired it.
LONDON, March 14.-6:15 p. m.-The
United States charge d'affaires, Henry
White, saw Lord Salisbury at the for
eign office and received formal reply
from the British government, declining
the good offices of the United States in
regard to the peace.
The interview between Mr.. White and
Lord Salisbury was very brief, the pre-
mier combining himself to a courteous
verbal declination, without entering
into details.
LONDON, March 14-The United States
government, at the request of President
Kruger and President Steyn, has offered
to the British government its services
as mediator, with the view of bringing
about peace in South Africa.
The representations made to Great
Britain were so put that they assumed
nothing of desire to intervene, but
simply transmitted the communications
made to United States Consul Hay, at
Pretoria, with the accompanying assur-
ance that anything the state department.
could do in the interests of peace
would be gladly undertaken. The
well known aversion of the British gov
eminent to any foreign Intervention
does not appear to have been aroused
in this instance.
{ The offer of mediation springs from
Pretoria, where Mr.. Hay, with the other
,consuls, subsequent to Presidents Kru-
ger and Steyn sending their peace cable
gram to Lord Salisbury, were asked to
endeavor to secure the good offices of
their respective governments, appar-
emily with the view of bringing outside
influence to bear upon Lord Salisbury Is
reply to the Boer oyertures. These
seem to have been fruitless except in
the instance of the United States consul,
whose representations to Secretary Hay
were forwarded March 10 to the United
States embassy in London, with the in
structions outlined above.

he was unable to regain vitality. 1t had

strength had so far gone that recovery
was impossible. The remains will be
