Movement Started to Establish a
@Summer School" at Paris
Exposition.

New York, Jan. Professor Patrick
Geddes, a we'll known Scottish sociology
ist biologist and geographer. has just
arrived in the United States and will
spend a couple of months here in the
interests of a movement in England and
France for the establishment of what is
to be known as the Paris international
assembly, in connection with the great
exposition and the very large number of
congresses which are to be held in Paris
next year. This movement, of which
the president is Leon Bourgeois, ex-
premier Of France and the vice presi-
dents for Great Britain are James
Bryce, M. p, and Sir Archibald Geikie,
was originated at the recent meetings
of the British association and the As
ISOLATION Franchise and strong French
and British committees are already at
work. Prof. Geddes being secretary of
the latter and also representative of
the former in America
The main feature of the assembly will
be the largest application yet conceiv-
ed of the summer school idea. The plan
is, in the first place, to help bring the
right people to the various departments
of the exhibition and to the congresses,
of which more than a hundred are being
organized, and then to help the differ
ent classes of visitors, especially the
more serious minded, by providing them
with expert guidance, rendezvous and
information bureaus, courses of lee
lures on subjects of general and special
interest, excursions to the great sights
of the city and neighborhoods. oppor-

SALISBURY MAY RETIRE.
His Withdrawal From the Cabinet
Predicted.

London, Jan. 1.-The announcement
that the private secretary of the prime
minister is going to the front as vol
unteer has led to a revival of the rumor
that Salisbury will soon retire. Some
correspondents of provincial papers are
making much of the story.
One insists that the premier intended
to retire early this year, and discussed
the matter with the queen, but decided
to postpone his withdrawal when the
Transvaal trouble became imminent,
and will remain at the head of the
cabinet now until the end of the war
but he will certainly leave the cabi-
net" says the correspondent, before
another appeal is made to the country"
The Duke of Devonshire is picked as
his most probable successor. Salisbury
has recovered almost entirely from his
recent attack of influenza, but intimate
friends of the premier insist that he is
much broken since the death of his wife,
to whom he was much devoted. This,
added to the additional facts that Sails
bury is an old man, full of honors, and
needs a rest after the trying strain of
the war. and the almost certain desire
and natural result that the people want
a change in the government at this
time, certainly lends more or less Gre
dence to the rumors. Gossip, however
has not yet gone far enough to bring
forth anything like an official hint as
to the truth of the statement

up a new compact The Mutual Life

this direction.
This committee has been appointed to
draft an agreement for suppressing re-

president, of the New York Life; John
r. Hegeman, president of the Metro
politan; J. NJ. Pattison, president of the
