FRENCH LEGATION BUILDING.
One Proposed to BE Owned Here by
Home Government.

1t is the desire of the French ambassador
to this country to have in this city lega-
ton building, the same to be the property
o. the French government. In this he has
the sympathy and cooperation of his gov
eminent, as French architect has come
over to this country and visited this city
for the purpose of studying the localities
with the view Of designing building that
will be worthy of the taste in such mat
tiers for which the French nation is famous.
This matter has been under consideration
for some time, and the ambassador, Mr..
Cambon, has gone about the city a good
deal for the purpose of selecting suitable
building site.
At first it was the desire that the pro-
posed legation building should be located in
the suburbs where there could be an album
dance of ground for lawns.
While such a location would suit the
tastes of Mr.. Cambon better than one with
in the residence section of the city. still it
was recognized that legation building is
place for. the transaction of business as
well as the residence of the ambassador.
and on this account that 1t must be con-
venient of access. 1t is supposed that MAIN
ly for this reason the site selected will be in
the residence section of the city.

STRIKE RIOTS IN BERLIN.
Two WOrkmen Killed, Fifty Wounded
and $50 Arrested.

and 100 Arrested.
BERLIN, May 21.-Replying to an inter-
pellation in the lower house Of the Prussian
diet today, the minister Of the interior.
Freiherr Won Rheinbaben, announced that
in the event Of the police being unequal to
the task of coping with the riotous street
car strikers in Berlin the government had
troops confined to their barracks and
armed force would be employed If neces-
sary. Although. the minister added. he
hoped the contingency would not arise, the
government proposed to SHOW them that
they were masters in their own house over
a rabhle and would strike down any one
daring to oppose the majesty of the law
Continuing, Freiherr Won Rheinbaben said
that in cases Of wage dispute the govern
ment left their settlement to the parties
concerned. but the street car employees had
entered on dangerous course They had
placed themselves under the leadership of
the social democratic trades union and had
been induced to make demands incompal-
BILE with discipline and the maintenance of
order. Had the directors accepted the
mems terms. the speaker declared. the au-
thorities would have probably INTERVIEWED
He concluded by saying the police had done
their work admirably. and while the fact
of their having to charge the crowd was
regrettable. 1t could not be helped.
The minister's remarks We're vociferously
cheered.
BERLIN. May 21.-The strike distur-
Dances yesterday were mostly confined 10
the Roseyhalerther district. Elsewhere
they were unimportant. Order was re-
stored at midnight.
Two policemen were severely injured, and

jured and 1870 arrests We're made. The mo-
tormen and conductors on the Karlsruhe

eral years. Yesterday afternoon he went
across the bridge for walk into the coun-
try. When he saw train coming over the
bridge he concluded he would get on 1t and
go as far as Alexandria. The train did not
stop. but Draeger thought he could board
1t. In attempting to do so he missed his
footing and his legs went on the track in
front Of the wheels. Although so badly in

lose consciousness.

There is not the slightest doubt of that.
Whether Towne will be his running mate
is something that is too far ahead for me to
say positively. But that the silver republi-
cans will try to force him to take the nomi-
nation is something that is not so sure. We
shall not threaten or in any way force his
nomination on the democrats. But 1t is my
impression that they can get no better man
to run with Bryan than Towne.
THE Kansas silver republicans will hold
their Kansas state convention in Topeka
July l. They will finish the business at To-
peka In time for the entire convention to
come directly here and participate in the
business of the national convention"
