A LOST OPPORTUNITY.
Dom Paul Too Timid in His Appeal to
French For Intervention.

New York Nov. 30.-A dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from Paris says:
Mr.. Kruger has recently asked a num-
Der of questions regarding public and
political sentiment in America so far
as the Beers are concerned, but he will
not go to the United States now. His
plans for his future abode are unsettled,
depending largely upon the success of
his efforts at intervention.
Your correspondent is Of the opinion
that he has almost lost his opportunity
of rousing French feeling. Had he fol-
lowed up his Marseilles speech with spe-
cific charges of the barbarous conduct
of the British and a vigorous appeal
to the warm-hearted sympathies of the
French and continental nations some
thing more favorable might have hap
pened But he allowed himself to be
persuaded to remain silent on the
grounds of diplomatic fears of causing
trouble. The foes of mediation are the
diplomatists; its friends are the people
and the press The intense interest
aroused by the visit of Kruger to Europe
is subsiding, with the inevitable result
of a gradual waning of enthusiasm, as
in all such events. The British parlia.-
ment meets on Tuesday, and -krugers

men in the Jameson conspiracy ought
to have been launched on the presidents
arrival in Paris in order to create the
maximum effect. For this Dom PauPS
timid European advisers are to blame.
Had he been left to follow his own plans
the result would have been otherwise.

. M'KINLEY WAS FIRM.
Refused to Longer Retain Russell
Harrison in the Army.

New York, Nov. 30.-A special to the
Herald from Washington, D. c., says:
Lieut. Col Russell B. Harrison, son
Of former President Harrison, will
cease to be an officer of the army on
Saturday, December l. Earnest repre-
sensations of friends and personal ap-
peals made to the president and Sec
rotary of war have failed, and he will
be discharged in accordance with the
terms of the order issuedwhile Secretary
Root was in Cuba.
This action is taken in spite of the
favorable recommendation Of Brigadier
General J. G. Breckenridge, inspector
general, who is chief of the corps of
which Lieut.. Col Harrison was a vol
unteeF member, and it is understood
that Lieutenant General Miles favored
his retention. The president decided
however, that the action of the war de-
partment was justifable, and Lieut.
Col. Harrison must go.
In explanation of the determination
of the president and secretary. of war
to drop Lieut.. Col Harrison from the
service, a high official of the war de-
partment said that he had been in serv-
ice longer than any other of the sons
of noted men appointed during and sub
sequent to the war with Spain James
g. Blaine. Stewart NJ Brice and others
of prominent families were discharged
months ago.
Lieut. Col Harrison, it is further said
has shown no special aptitude for the
army, and as the department of Porto
Rico, to which he was attached, was
recently abolished, there was no further
need for his services.
