Dispute.
Washington, Aug. 2S.-It. is feared
in official circles here that the with
drawal of the French ambassador
from Constantinople marks the dlsso-
luton Of the concert Of European pow
ers under which the integrity Of Tur-
key was guaranteed. BY the treaty Of
Berlin all the great powers Of Europe
subscribed to an agreement to refrain
from any act that would tend to the
destruction. OF the Ottoman empire.
This action was taken to forestall
what were conceived to be the designs
Of Russia to seize on Turkish territory
and Russia herself was led to sub
scribe to the agreement by force Of
circumstances. Although several
times severely strained, notably by
such events as the last war between
Turkey and Greece, this pact has SO
far endured without amendment but
It is. apprehended now that II the ac-
ton Of France Is carried out to the
extreme indicated in the dispatches

said in an interview with regard to the
best manner Of preventing the crime
of assault among negroes:
II am as much convinced as ever
4 hat African emigration would be best
Tor the negro and best for the white
nan. There is an irresistible conflict
between whites and blacks that moth
ing but separation can reconcile and
put an end to.
"Our children are generated and
nurtured under a malignant and mis-
anthropic excitement that will wreck
this country and make our civilization
hiss and byword. And If it is q
fact that the negro will not let white
women alone, then white men owe
1t to their manhood and honesty to
get rid Of him; andsif they will open
up a highway to Africa millions Of the
black race will 60. Rather than shed
SO much blood, and possibly some in

laws to brand these fools and scoun-

are burning, hanging and shooting,

carry them to Africa will give the

FOND oF THE GIRLS.
The Love A1airs of the Father Of His
NS Country,
i |.

a45.Af. COuntEy.
George Washington's love affairs be-
gan at very early age, and he was to
the day Of his death "fond Of the girls"
The first sweetheart was one Mary
Bland, with whom he fell in love when
he was only IA years Of age. This is
ascertained from an entry in one of his
diaries, where he refers to her as his
'lowland beauty" Having tired of
Mary, he wrote to friend that he had
decided to ''bury his chaste and trou-
blesome passion" which, having done,
he soon found himself enamored of
Lucy Cary, sister-in-law of Colonel
Fairfax. His affection for this young
lady lasted for some years, being only
Interrupted now and again by his nat
ural Virginia passion Of making love
to every pretty girl whom he met.
In 1852 his first serious Hve affair
was shattered. Having fallen in love
with certain Miss Betsy Fauntleroy,
he determined to ask her to become his
wife, but the fates had destined him
to marry another, for she rejected his
proposals. He afterward came back
to her, but found that she had not
changed her mind on that score.
His next heartache was caused by a
girl in New York after. he had become
a colonel. She was the heiress Mary
Phillipse. His business called him
away from her; but, having finished
this, he returned to New York and pro.
posed to her, but was here, as before,
disappointed by her refusal.
In 1858 at Waynes Ferry, while
travelling to Williamsburg with dis
patches, he met his future wife, Mrs.
Martha cambridge Custis, the widow
Of Daniel Park Custis. We learn from
history that she was young, pretty, in
telligent and rich. He had been with
her all Of an afternoon and was to ride
away to his home the next morning.
On his way he stopped at her home
and then and there told of his love and
asked her to become his mate for life.
This time, contrary to his previous
proposals, he was accepted.-Chicago

"Three shillings."

ROBERT Q. EVANS DEAD.
Prominent Minnesota Politician Ex.
plres Suddenly.

Minneapolis, Aug. 26.-Robert G.
Evans, United States district attorney
for Minnesota, died from heart disease
on the balcony of his home on Queen
avenue, Kenwood. At about 8 a. m.
Mr.. Evans went to the bedroom of his
daughter to awaken her. He grasped
the footrail of the bed and shook 1t,
seemingly unable to speak. Just as
she awoke Mr.. Evans staggered from
the room and made his way with uif-
ficulty to the balcony over the front
porch. There he seized the railing,
threw back his head and gasped, then
sank to the floor dead. He had been
sufferer from heart disease for q
year and half and a sudden attack
Of the dread rouble carried him of.
Mr.. Evans was AZ years old. He
was prominent candidate before the
legislature last winter to succeed Sen
ator c. X. Davis in the United States
senate, but was defeated by M. e.
Clapp of st. Paul. He had been enter.
tanning Senators Fairbanks Of Indiana,
Quarles of Wisconsin and Clapp Of
Minnesota the past week, and the
party returned from q fishing excur-
sion to Alexandra on Thursday. He
seemingly was in excellent Lealth up
to q few hours before his death. DR..
Moore, his physician, says he does
not think the runaway accident Of
eight days ago, in which Senator Fair
banks and Mr.. Evans were badly
bruised and shaken up, in any way
hastened Mr.. Evans death. He over
worked himself in the late political
campaign, and it is thought that this
aggravated the heart trouble. His
wife died four months ago, and 1t is
believed by. his closest friends that
this great loss llastened his own death.
He leaves three children.
