New French Minister
: of War.
First act prosecution of a
news paper.

The first measure Of the new French
Minister Of War, General Andre,
on taking over the War Office, was
an order for the persecution of the
Dreyfusard paper, the "Aurore,"
for an article printed by Urbain Co.
hier, violently attacking the Capt.
Fritsch affair. "Those officer de.-
ectives," raid M. GOhier, Sin case
of war would sell to the enemy our
forts, arrnies, and provinces, as they
sold them before in time Of peace.
They engage in jobbery IN army
contracts, sell crosses of honor, and
all sorts of documents. When they
do mol possess authentic documents
t1ey manufacture forgsries, for the
military trade is the school Of trea
soa, as it is Of lying, stealing, and
murder.n
M. GOhief is the author of the
book, The Army Against the Nat
ion,' scbicb created an ouscry on
account Of its denunciation of the
army, aud for which he was prosec'
uted. General Andre has requested
Minister Of Justice NJ. MOnis tC
take proceedings, and this was the
step announced at the cabined soun'

Porto Rican Law
Revision.
Commission soon to comrnen-
ce work.

" Almost any steamer now may
bring the American members Of the
Commission appointed 10 revise and
4Odify the laws Of Porto Rico.
&. The Commission is composed Of
sx-Judge JOeeph F. DAILY, Of New
York, Leo s. Rowe Of Pennsylvania,
and Mr. Juan Hernandes Lopsz Of
this city.
The Commission ID required by
1he act under tohich it is appointed,
TO present its report to Congress In
hoth Spanish and English.
The material to be examined,
which is all in Spanish, must Of
course first be translated, the report
written in English, and then trans
lated back int English. This fact,
alone, will give some idea of the
magnitude Of the task set tor the
Commission.
The imperative necessity Of an
Intelligent revision of the system Of
law and procedure now prevailing
in Porto Rico will bs universally re-
eogniSed in view Of the altered con-
ditions involved in the change OF
sovereignty from Spain to the Unit
ed States of America. bot that this
means, hstsever, that there is any
intention Of making sweeping or
radical changes in the laos and cod
ss at present in feres on the Island
The Revision Committee 10 clothed
with no such authority, even had it
the desire.
But there can be no denial Of the
fact there are many complicated and
conflicting features Of our legal sys-
tenn sohich ought to be simplified
and brought down to date. AS far
as the civil codes are concerned, it
ID believed that the Commissioners
will find little to criticize or to chan
ge. The intention will undoubtedly
be to preserve in their integrity, as
far as possible the local principles
and forms to which the people are
accustomed.
With the criminal codes. however,
the case is different. Here reform
and modification TO a considerable
extent may be found desirable.
Indeed, the Commission may find
it necessary to construct complete
new criminal and penal code
In any event, wnaterer resolution
may be arrived at by the Commits
sion will be subject to revision,
amendment, or even rejection by
Congress, to which body tue people
Of the Island can appeal in case Of
any dissatisfaction with the report

One MiIIiOnaire's son
willing to work.
Gains Success In business and
a happy Marriage.

Mrs. Katharips Bedford Henry,
of New Ysrk City, who is now at
her summer home in Elkins. w.
Va, has issued invitations for the
marriage of her daughter, Jane
Bedford Henry, to Vincent Ksrens,
Of st. Louis.
This event will be the elimination
Of an interesting little romance which
began when Mr.. Ksrens was u
ssheolbey. Miss Henry, = schoolgirl
at the time, was visiting in st. Lsuis.
The two became friends, and their
friendship sson ripensd into love.
They rssurned to their school studies,
Mr.. Kerens to the Catholic Univsr
siiy in this city, and Miss Henry to
New York; but later they became
engaged.
Mr.. Kersns is the second son Of
Richard @. Ksrsns, enc Of the
multi-milllonaires of the Wsst, and
frcm infancy has been accustomed
to . liberal allowance. When Le
announced to his father last fall
that he intended to marry Mis- Henry
he was aStOunded by the wsrds:
"Ali right; but what are you going
to marry onf"
Young Kersns paced the door in
silence for several msments, and
then, facing his father, said:
Il will 80 to work."
Again the elder KerenS said "All
right" and the yeung man, without
the influence of his father, secured .
position in st. Louis at 3 salary of
&125 . month. Out OF this he was
laying up moro than he had ever
saved from his large allowance.
Promptly at 9 O'slOck he was at his
desk, where hO worked faithfully eli
day. When Mr.. Kerens returned
to st Louis and found his son wor-
King he was so pleased sOith bis
pluck that he bought out the schole
corporation and made Vincent >
present of it. Besides this ne decided
to him the KerOns mansion in Van.
devSntOr place, in st. Louis, one of
the handsOmsst homes in that city.
Kerens senior says with great
p'ide: "Vincent does not go to work
now at 9 O'Clock. He is in his stiice
at s. 1t iS the same spirit which
helped me TO make my fortune"

Puerto RicAn resolution was sup.
pressed, also . resolution instructing

giving a general endorsement 20 the

The Philadelphia Public Ledger
discusses the failure of the proposed
amendment to the constitution which
would curb trusts, and says:-
"While the resolution was defea.
ted, the vote aligned members Of
Congress upon tho proposition, and
IL will be used With more or less eject
to impals the democratic party ~
insincers in its professions Of /.
desire to crush the trusts by practical
legislation, to which the democrats
will rstert that their amendments to
the bill were rejected, and that the
introduction of the amendment at
the fag end Of the session, too late
for thorough discussion and for the
concurrent action Of the Senate,
indicated the purpose of the majority
to exploit the resolution for political
expediensy and campaing uses"
1.-THE Democrats carried the
country in 1876, in 1884, and in
1892 by the aid of tie Independent
vote Of the country" premises the
Boston "HsrAld" [nd.l. "If they
are net only to Eacrifice all hope OF
this, but even to shut out from acting
with them large section of their
own party by repelling it with their
course rs regards free silver, they
put themselves, indeed, in the con-
ditiOn whom the gods destroy by

--"Admiral Dewey's announce
ment Of his own ambition has served
to develop almost in = day, and with
peculiar vividness, "blus print" OF
ths opinion of the politicians and

HArttOrd "Times" Dem. "and the
partisans are shown standing in solid
ranks, for Bryan on one side, for
Mckinley on the other. And those
who are not in favor of either Bryan
or Mckinley are net at all inclined
to regard Admiral Dewey aS an

Prsss:--'Thc paucity of five issues

the life of EpIerson. Mr.. S. NJ. Bob
