DAVIs's REASONS FOR GOING
TO SOUTH AFRICA

Kansas. City, Mo, Jan. 80 (speciaD D-Local
politicians and personal friends OF Webster Da-
Wis, Assistant Secretary OF the Interior have
been mysti1ed as to the cause of his sudden
trip to South Africa. When the news first
reached here, a steady stream of politicians with
axes to grind poured in upon his brother Wal
ter Davis, assistant postmaster but the latter
declared that he had received no inside advices
as to the cause. The health plea was disbe-
lieved, and many thought the theory that he
was the bearer Of secret messages to Dom Paul
was more likely. When the news was received
that to Mr. Davis had been rendered the of
President Kruger's private this theory
seemed to be the right one.
There is a feeling here among those who know
the ex-Mayor best that he is looking into the
future and is preparing for a series of lectures
1t is an open secret here that Mr.. Dayis has
had several 1attering offers from leading lect-
ure bureaus, but his political ambitions have
kept him from accepting them. His friends
argue that there is little ahead of him at the
present time in the political world. He can take
his trip to South Africa, observe the situation
there, and then use the knowledge thus gained
the base of interesting lecture 1t is
thought that he will resign as he re-
turns from Africa, sign a contract with a bu-
reau and begin long tour In his idle moments
he will make stump speeches and then If his
party goes in again, he will be in position to
claim his share when the offices are distributed.

FRENCH CABINET IN COUNCIL
THE CASE OF CARDINAL RICHARD-BILLs
FOR NAvY's INCREASE

Paris, Jan. 30.-A Cabinet Council, at which
President Loubet presided, considered to-day the
action of Cardinal Richard, the Archbishop Of
Paris, in openly visiting the Assumptionist
Fathers after the Correctional Tribunal had
pronounced the dissolution of the order. and the
subsequent steps taken by the Government. The
Premier. M Waldeck- Rousseau read his letter
requesting Cardinal Richard to explain, and the
prelate's reply, declaring that his visit had no
political character. recalling his habtual att
tude and defending himself against the charge
of hostility to the Republic To this the Premier
replied that if Cardinal Richards explanation
led him to consider the account of his visit pub
lished in La Croix' incorrect, nevertheless he
was compelled to condemn the Cardinal for his
unusual step. The Government, he added, had
decided to suspend the stipends of those bishops
and priests who wrote letters to the Assump-
tionists containing protests incompatible with
the respect due to the work of justice.
AS result of the council, Premier Waldeck-
Rousseau has suspended the allowances OF the
Archbishop of AK of the Bishops of Versailles,
Vaence, Viviers, Tulle and Montpelier and Of
the Vicar of Avignon
The Cabinet also came to decisions respecting
various bills to carry out the naval scheme, and
these NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau introduced at the
opening of the Chamber OF Deputies this after
noon They were referred, at his request, to the
Budget Commission.
The Navy bill asks for 476OOOO 900 francs fer
the fleet, and provides six first class batteships.
five armored cruisers. twenty nine torpedo boat
destroyers, 112 torpedo boats and twenty-siX
submarine boats. 1t also arr for 140,000,000
francs to defend the coasts, H. 4fuding 3S 600 600
francs for the defence OF the French naval
stronghold on the coast OF Tunis.
Another bill provides for the establishment of
Independent cable communication between
France and her colonies, bringing the total ex-
penditure up to 9OOOOOOO0 francs.

Legislature have been deuged with petitions for
immediate relief from the annoyances inflicted on
citizens last Sunday
A majority of the members OF both houses
said to favor the modifying measure. but the Sab
batarlans ana those members OF the Grand Jury
who resurrected and insisted the enforcement
of the old laws are now afraid the changes may
go to the extent of giving too much license. The
Police Department has now turned in to the Grand
Jury the names Of nearly seven thousand witnesses
of violations OF the blue laws last Sunday, and
the lists are not yet complete. The Grand Jury is
overwhelmed, and If il tries to handle this army OF
witnesses II will have time for inquring into
