France win Be Monarchy Again

Chicago, Jan. 15.-Count de la
Chasney, who was married in Colorado
Springs two days ago, and who passed
through Chicago last night on his way
to Paris, believes eventually France
will have again monarchial form oil
government.
Nothing will be done in political
way to reorganize the present govern
ment, he said, until after the Paris
exposition. That is practically mat
ter of agreement among the high states
men. But France Is near change.
The Fashoda incident and the Dreyfus
affair added much to the general DIS
content among the masses. At the
proper time the man to lead the royal.
list party will be found. 1t is not un-
likely that Prince Louis Napoleon, now
a colonel in the Russian army, will be
the one chosen.n

Report VIII Probably BE Ready Be.
fore February 1.
New York, Jan. ia special to
the Times from Washington says.
About the last of January the Philip,
pine commission will submit their full
report to the president. President
Schurman was at the White House
Thursday to announce that progress
was being made, and that before Feb.
ruary the work Of the commission will
be completed. The report made in
September was general one, in which
all the commissioners joined, In the
full report each commissioner will deal
with a separate subject. That of Pres.
ident Schurman is on government fol-
the Philippines. He has considered
the matter fully and has discussed his
report with the president. 1t is as.
sumed that such practical points as he
may offer will be brought to the atten-
tion of the appropriate committees OF
the senate and the house.
AS to the question of again sending
a commission to the Philippines, 1t has
been suggested in congress by both sen.
ators and representatives that joint
commission of members might be
named for that purpose. 1t would be
very popular and also very expensive,
but it is insisted that it would be a
better way of preparing congress for
Legislative action than the plan of max.
ing up commission outside of con.
gress and expecting members of both
houses to read their report after it had
been made in order that it may become
informed. 1t is said that special
committee of members well-known
would be more interesting and impres.

Washington, Jan. IA spirited

country to assume the attitude assumed
by the present South Dakota senator.

the vote showed that New York is a
doubtful State. 1t gave Mckinley an
enormous plurality in 1896: but the con-
ditions then Were quite abnormal. The
classes that had always cast the bulk
OF the Democratic vote were threat
ened. catoled and inundated by the
financial interests of the Metropolis,
who were for Mckinley to a man. The
wage-earners. the salarled classes, the
thousands of dependent employees,
were switched over to Mckinley.
To begin with, this cannot be done
this year. The financial issue will not
cut the same figure as in 1895. Other
issues will be the determining factors
New York has not been regarded as n
good field. however. for either the anti
trust. or anti-imperialist issues. So far
as New York City is concerned. the Ice
trust has changed the possibilities of
inopportune cut for it's friend. the Re-
publican party. This Trust has put UP
the price of ice from 80 to co cents n
hundred. and refuses to sell in the
small hve-cent lots to which the thous-
ands OF New YorlSs coor are accus-
toned. There is no difference of opin-
ION. and no room for any difference of
opinion, as to what the result will be
IN the Metropolis. 1t means no ice for
the very moor and reduction in the
supply TO which the better TODD are
accustomed. The president of the
Board of Health declares it is a matter
of life or death to thousands.
Eminent physicians declare it will
transform the tenement districts into
plague spots"
Decidedly. this is not an encouraging
outlook for the party of Trusts. In
New York State and in the nation the
Republican party is in power 1t has
done nothing against Trusts How
shall 1t Persuade New York's millions
that it Is not responsible? How will
Mr.. Hannah convince the man who has
been compelled to do without ice. when
the thermometer registered 9S deg. in

OF the good" sort? AS an object lesson
in Trust methods. the operation of the
Ice Trust will be unmistakablc to even
the dullest of New Yorl's 800 O10 voters.
VIII they be disposed to forget the les
son Tor an empty promise in the Re
publican platform? Hardly.
The Ice Trust will make the Trust
issue paramount in New York City. and
may easily cost the Trust Party" New
York States thirty-slX electoral votes.

Industrial Convention will be held for
four days at Chattanooga. TO this con-
venton the Governors of all Southern

that development this city, with the
finest harbor on the Atlantic Coast,

general lines along which this develop

way to attain this result than by

movement may be accelerated in flu

A CRUEL JOKE ON A

country was edited with the report
that one Dakota statesman had frank
ed home something over car load OF
mail; supposed, and reputed to be,
mainly his own private eioqucnce.
The sack which is supposed TO have
been franked by Hon. Vandiver. and
which is now the subject of an investi-
cation by the postmaster at ST. Louis

ing, df more usefuD than copies of the

This clothing. (says the dispatch)
consists of n mans coat. which was
purchased from q ciothier at Cape

ta;ive Vandver, a pair of trousers ana

Was eyer meaner advantage taken OF
a busy and absent-minded statesman?
Who raided Hon. Vandivcr's living
quarters and surrcp,itiously took
therofrom a coat OF the Cape Girardeau
vintage? Who furnished that pair OF
trousers? Above all,who dared mix that
''ladys jacket with the speeches of
Hon. w. d. Vandiver. Gan unmarked

ing Vandivev to afliX to the sack his Of

This wretched prank should be made
the subject of a stern and unbending
investigation at the hands of Con-
gressioraa committee. or OF one OF Mr.
McKnl,ys numerous commissions If his
enemies may take such privileges with
n Coneressman's frank, who can fore
tell the dire disaster that may follow?
Imagination recoils from the possible
results If those with sinister purposes
to serve. are allowed to stuff Il Con-
.ressman's mail sacks with wearing
apparel" Who can say that such ap-
parel will always be ''unmaried?"
We are inclined 10 see in this out
rage the beginning OF IL conspiracy OF
gigantic proportions. n conspiracy that
may be the undoing OF our purcst
statesman. Suppose his political OPP
ponents should bring against Hon
Nandlvcr the infamous charge that he
put his coat and trousers in that sack
and franked it to save express charges?
How could he meet the sneers OF the
incredulous? a Congressman coat and
trousers are not public documents. No
orator. however persuasive. could
convince the plain people" that they
are. 1t may blight the Hon. Vardivcr's
prospects of usefulness. II this thing IS
allowed to go on, it may wreck careers
and endanger the happiness of families,
