GALLIFFETS SUCCESSOR.
GENERAL ANDRE. NOW FRENCH MIN
lister OF WAR.

Paris, May 81
General Louis Joseph Nicolas Andre, appointed
Minister of War by President Loubet on May ~
in place of General De Gallifet who resigned on
account of falling health, is the eighth Minister
of War who has held Office in France during the
last two years-that is to say, since the reopen
ing of the Dreyfus case.
General Andre is accomplished artillery
officer and has always kept himself risidly aloof
from politics 1t was only last December, when
he commanded the Tenth Military Division at
Paris. that he issued an order excluding from
the regimental reading rooms and barracks of
the troops under his command all newspapers
that had become known for their systematic
hosti ity toward the Government" The new
War Minister was born at Nuts, in Burgundy,
on March % 1888, and is consequently in the
sixty-third year of his age. In 1850 he entered
the Polytechnic School. and was graduated as
second lieutenant of artillery. He attained his
captaincy in 1869 and in that grade served
during the Franco German War in 1S7O-'71. In
1871 he served under General De Galliffet in
suppressing the Paris Commune. He became
major in 1877, Northumberland in 1880 and
colonel in 1888. He was appointed general of
brigade on December 26 1898, and was imme
diateiy afterward placed in charge of the Poly
technic School. In 1891 he was chief of aTul-
lery Of the Fourth Army Corps at lie Mans, then
had been Minister of War at the time that Cap
tain Drey fus was arrested, and who has since
attained much notoriety the head and front
of the Dreyfus persecution.
General Andre is hard working student of
his profession, and possesses remarkable physi-
calstrength and vigor. He is tall and we'll built,
and his attitude and bearing exceedingly
military and prepossessing. His countenance is
frank and honest. He is a first rate horseman,
and may be riding in the Bots de BoulOgne
bn a spirited bay charger at early hour each
morning.
General Andre is fond of music and literature.
In 1875 when stationed in Paris artillery
captain he married Mile. Chapuis, a charming
and talented singer of the Opera Comique. Mile.
Chapuis had previously been attached to the
Vaudeville Theatre, where she had marked sue
cess in play called La Soupe aux Choux"
She trained and developed her superb soprano
voice, and at the Opera Comique keeny
appreciated in "Haydee,'' LIE Val d'Andorre,"
Carmen and philemon ct Baucis.' General
and Nine. Andre have many warm friends in
civil well as in military circles and are both

Oil Notes.

The United Oil company has
five strings of tools going down.
Some of these are being operated
III explored fields, while others are
determining those that are un-
explored. Two of them are at
such depth that oil may be
drilled into any day, while the
others are down not SO far. The
activity in the Florence fields is as
great at present, as at any time for
the past year, and the oil develop
ments and discoveries of 1900 will
go down into history. The demand
for oil is far greater than is the
supply. Heretofore the United
Oil company used its product for
fuel in feeding its boilers, but for
some time past this practice was
abandoned and instead coal is
being used. In the first place
coal can be obtained at less cost
than can the oil and in the second
place the orders are increasing,
and to supply these the change
became necessary.
The Independent Oil company,
few days ago, struck oil in its
well on the Wasmuth- place but
the oil streak was not large enough
to put the well in pumping opera
ton, and the company is now drill
ing deeper.
The power plant that was adopt
ed by Philip Griffith, and the first
that was brought into the Colorado
oil fields, is proving very satisfac-
tory. With this, as many wells can
be operated as can be attached,
and instead OF using a man at each
well as heretofore, one may operate
them all, thereby saving thousands
of dollars each year in bumpers
salaries.
For awhile last week the coal
dealers of Pueblo thought they
were up against the car PROPOSE
tion Tbaro vuoo n ohorfora -,
cars, and it was beginning to be a
serions proposition, but a slight
relief came Friday, and yet they
are placed in an Embarrassing
position.

DeArmond at Springfield.

Springfield, Mo-, Aug. 1S.-Not-
withstanding the intense heat and
the unspeakable dust, the democratic
ratification meeting here to-day was
great success. A large crowd came
in from the various parts of the
county and at IL o'clock a line of
march was formed from the public
square. The parade was one of the
largest ever seen here this early in
the season.
At boiling Park the marchers
broke ranks and the affair took the
form of an old-fashioned basket pic
mic. After dinner the assembled hosts
were entertained by Judge d. A. De-
Almond, the principal speaker of the
day Mr.. DeArmond discussed i'm
perialism, trusts, the money ques-
ton, militarism and republican
extravaganza and waste. He gave
many evidences of the imperialistic
tendencies and imperialistic perform
anees of the present administrat ton
and showed that the party of Hanna
is opposed, in theory and practice to
the republieanism of Lincoln.

kENTUCkY'S MURDERS.
In Past Four Years the Record Was 500
---2IG C0nyicts PardOned.

Georgetown, Ky, Aug 1.-THE
largest crowd that has Vet been IN
attendance at the Powers trial
thronged the court house this morn
ing. this being the closing OF the
argument. Col. I. c. Campbell OF
Cincinnati began addressing the jury
at $50 o'clock.
Henry E Youtsey, who was threat
ened with typhoid fever, is reported
improving this morning, and his
attorneys say he will by ready for
trial Monday.
Col. Campbell, during the course OF
his argument, said: Il have examin-
ed the criminal records of Ohio and
Kentucky closely for the period of
four wears, from January, 1896. TO
January. 1900. | find that in Ohio,
during that period, 10 murders We're
committed.
In Kentucky, for the same length
OF time and covering the reign of
William O. Bradley as governor,
there were S96 murders, 2S5 cOnvic-
lions for murder and 216 pardons
for murder.
My God, is it any wonder that
under these circumstances men are
willing TO band themselves together
for murder when they are assured the
protection of the men in control of
the state.
In his short reign ofthirty or forty
days. as secretary OF state, Caleb
Powers himself recorded seven par
dOns for murder.
