by the United States Government.
says:
Since doubts have been expressed
here and there as to whether It is ad
visable to insist upon death for the
ring leaders of the anti foreign move
ment as an irrevocable decision IL
should be pointed out that such doubts
cannot be traced to considerations of
humanity, as if some power regarded
SUCH punishment as too severe The
tact is. rather. that all the powers are
convinced that the ring leaders deserve
death. but the question has been raised
on various sides as to whether such n
measure should be insisted upon from
the standpoint of political expediency.
so far as Germany is concerned, she
mas never insisted upon the execution
OF specific persons. but has repeatedly
declared that she laid chief emphasis
upon the harmonious action of all the
powers in Furnishing the guilty This
attitude corresponds with the guiding
principle of Germany's policy which
seeks. above all else. to preserve the
harmony Of the powers"

Germans in China says:
THE usages of civilized warfare are
not always applicable with the half

OFFICERS AND CREW.

According to the naval register. the
Yosemite was manned by IS officers
and 267 men. but in her capacity as
station ship not all of these were re-
quired. and undoubtedly part of them
were ashore engaged in duties at the
naval station. This probably would be
true of her commander, Seaton Schroe-
der, who also is governor of Guam. and
who probably left the active command
of the ship to the ranking lieutenant,
Augustus n. Mayer. The other officers

Paris. Nov. 2S.-The conversation
which former President Kruger had
with the French Minister of Foreign
Affairs. NJ. Delcasse, yesterday was
latter as to the probable attitude of
France in certain eventualities. Mr..
Kruger did not press for II definite
statement and the conversation lacked
preciseness. NJ. Delcasse let it be un-
derstood that France had not changed
her attitude since he explained the
governments position in the Chamber
of Deputies last March. France will
not take the initiative in intervention
in South Africa, but will not discourage
any other country from so doing. On
the contrary she Will join in such ini-
tiative il 1t is taken under such coudi-
tions as appear to her TO merit acquies-
cence.
Mr.. Kruger did not formulate any OPP
position and did not intimate what he
intended to do, but 1t Is believed he
will take the first official diplomatic
step at The Hague. 1t Is not known
whether he will ask Holland to propose
mediation or open other and less clearly
defined negotiations.
Mr.. Kruger to-day drove to the
School of Fine Arts to inspect the plas-
tel lHOOSl VI NiiS ~ NC CISCl-
ed to the memory of Colonel de Ville-
bois Mareul. the French officer who
died in South Africa fighting for the
Beers. He was received by Colonel dc
Villebos Mareuil's brother. A number
of artistic and literary people and stu
dents were present. N.Y. Kruger eulo-
gized Colonel de Villebois Mareuil and
his comrades. whose devoted heroism,
he said. recalled the chivairous
knights OF the middle ages"
Mr.. Kruger then proceeded to view
the Pantheon, but was too fatigued to
enter. He was heartily cheered every
where along the road.

Interesting Old Lady.

One OF the most interesting old ladies
and withal intelligent ones in the city, is
Mrs. U. Fl. Petrie, mother of Mr..
Charles q Petrie Of this city, a we'll
known railroad man. She has passsd
the eighty second mile stone in life and
her age. Without something unforeseen
occurs she promises to live many more
years.
The age of Mrs. Pretrie is slightly
greater than tina. of Queen Victoria
Mrs. Petrie who vas born and raised in
Canada rebembers we'll the ascension OF
Que IN Victoria to the throne When
she was young girl there were rumors
of Victoria visiting her Canadian posses
sions. At that time Mrs. Petrie was q
young and handsome girl, Just budding
into womanhood, rhe has traces of for
mer beauty even yet. One time while
she WAS visiting Montreal and she had
left the boat some one in the crowd said
"there is Queen Vic" and she had con-
siderable trouble in undeceving those
who had started the cry. Mrs. Petrie
greatly resembled the young queen at
that time, she having now in her posses
sion newspaper clippings which state
that the resemblance between them was
great and that it was often spoken OF by
her friends and relatives.
The old lady is great reader and her
friends have much pleasure in hearing
her recount scenes and incidents Of the
past.
Wednesday afternoon number of her
warm friends, members of the mission
ary society OF the Baptist church, de-
scended upon her and took possession Of
the home Of the aged lady, with her son
and daughter Mrs Charles Il.
Petrie and spent most delightful after
noon. The ladies brought with them
many gifts Of remembrance to their aged
friend and the afternoon was spent in
conversation and readings concluding
with tea being served with refreshments
1t is the hope Of The Sentinel and
many friends of Mrs. Petrie that she
may live to enjoy many more years Of
life in the most pleasant manner.

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN?
Will the Rio Grande Have a New
President---Speculation Rife
Take it for What It's Worth

Inc ln6l6tenL reports winch are being
published in the Denver papers that
President E. T. jeffrey will resign the
presidency Of the Rio Grande road. are
something more than mere newspaper
reports or that they are being published
for the purpose Of sensational news.
The matter which appears sounds very
much as il it had been inspired for
purpose.
All old railroad men, who have remem-
brance OF early railroading in this state
put two and two together when they
read these reports regarding Mr.. jeff
rey. They recall how uncermoniously
David 81. Moffatt and Syl T. Smith, the
general manager of the road were fred
ment given to E. T. Jeffrey and Mr..
Schlacks.
Those who knew also, at the time, any
thing about the management OF Colora-
dos principal road also knew that~pava
Motfatt was fred because OF the h6stilI-
ty, at that time, Of the two Wolcotts.
Senator Edward and his brother Henry.
They also knew that the Rio Grande
system at that time had the best road
way and equipment that money could
buy and that it now possesses about the
poorest. The road has been a dividend
payer sioce the accession Of Mr.. Jeffrey,
but other things beside paying dividends
must be considered in handling a great
railway system.
1t will surprise many people to know
that the displacement OF David h. Moi
fatt from the presidency of the road
that he had built, rankled in his breast.
This hardly seems possible to the unin-
itiated. when Mr.. Moffatt has every
thing that wealth and an abundance of
it can buy. But there are other things
beside mere wealth, even to a rich man,
that are oontributive to his happiness
and one Of these, in the case of Mr.. Moi
fatt was the presidency OF the great
railway line through scenic America
piece OF engineering at the time, the
marvel Of railway engineering in the
world. 1t is not to be wondered at then
that Mr.. Moffatt wants back what he
has lcst
There is another item in the economy
of the Rio Grands syetem which seems
very pertinent at this time, anent the
presidency of the road, and the rumors
which are Aseting around. Now David
81. Moffatt is walking hand in hand, as
it were, with the Wolcott brothors and
it cannot be denied that their influence
is great in the directorate OF the road.
Coupled With this fact is another one
and that is that while Mr. Moffatt is the
owner Of S35O,OOO of the stock of the
road, mere bagatelle to him, that he is
now willing, now the Rio Grande is con-
frcnted with huge combinations in traf-
fic t. increase these holdings to make
possible giant combinations which must
be made for future work.
There are more startling things than
Mr.. Moffatt again being elected presi-
dent of the road, especially that it is as
serted that he wants it, because it is the
child of his own making. This may be
all mere speculation. yet speculative
things have como true and there is much
speculation now in the wind and there
can be no harm done because there is
such.
