rAMMANY DISCUSSED.
The London Weekly Papers Express
 Their Opinions.

4nelT OPAu1oAS
 London Nov. S-The weekly papers to- morrow will have a good deal to say about the defeat of Tammany Hall The Spectator thinks that MT. Roosevelt's suc- cession to the Presidency, giving all re- formers hope and confidence, weighed heavily in the contest, adding that 1t may be expected that his influence will be felt in other great American cities like Philadelphia and Chicago, which, the pa- Ter says, are hardly in better condition than New York, although they are less closely watched by Europeans. Continu- ing, The Spectator says:
 'If this Is the case. President Roose- velt's term of office will benefit the whole world, for the condition of American cities is at present an opprobrium to liberalism everywhere. The people there are really free, and say all the reaction aries, Look at the men they elect and the crimes they sanction or condone.' The best-governed city in America, by uni- versal consent, is Washington. adminis- tered by a commis ssion."
 The Saturday Review, with its usual dis-r'ist of all things American, finds that Tamany is the product of that false sense of equality prevailing in America, according to which a settlement of all sorts of minor offenses Is put into the hands of electors who care nothing about them. Decent people will be sufficiently shocked at the prevailing extravaganza and corruptions to demand immediate reformation, but the organization of the fusionists, as we'll as Tammany, is con- additionally liable to rapid degeneration"
 The Speaker says: ''To English eyes. the weak point in New York is the char ter conferring home-rule through the Mayor instead of through the municipal council. MT. Low may improve the civil service. dissolve the partnership of the city authorities with vice and crime, and may end system of blackmail for two years. What then? New York has mere ly substituted good boss for a bad boss, a dictator likely to reform for a dictator likely to corrupt"

 appointed Ambition.

In this country he con- tinued to win fame and 1t was the dis appointment of his ambition to produce a masterpiece, which Is said to have caused his mind to give way. He had partially completed a model in clay of a heroic figure of Belshazzar at the mo- ment of seeing the handwriting on the wall when it began to crumble and Kraus was compelled to give up the work. There are reasons to suppose that his mind became unbalanced soon after ward.
 Among his noted pieces in America are the Theodore Parker and the Crispus Attucks monuments. and the Iowa State Soldiers monument He was the sculp- tor of the winged figures that crowned the towers of Machinery Hall at the worlds Fair at Chicago and which re- ceived great admiration.

 Return to Omaha.

Nervousnass in Eurona.

New York, Nov. s.-According to the London correspondent of The Tr.sune. in some quarters there Is an endeavor to promote a scare over the dispute between France and Turkey. The Express says it Is important not to connect LordRoseberry's resolve to reenter public life with the descent of France upon Mytilene, while some of the Berlin papers consider Frances action direct challenge to Eng land and a set-oft to Fashoda. In the leading articles of the principal journals in this country a trace of nervousness ia certainly noticeable, but not much serious attention is paid to the hints or Germany that the interests of England are graveiy compromised. The view is that England is not likely to suffer should France insist upon Turkey fulfilling her legitimate obli- gations.

NO PROOF OF TREATY.
Meeting of Rulers of Greece and
 Austria Not Significant.

New York. Nov. s.-The Vienna cor respondent of The London Times and New York Times. commenting on the meeting of King of Hellenes and Emperor Francis Joseph. says that the Greaco- Romanian approachment, under the auspice sof Austro-Hungary, the Balkan Peninsula has been less at the mercy of the interruptions agencies who would bring about European war in order to satisfy their own ambitions. Austrian and Greek interests lie very much in the same direction. Special arrangements have been made between the two coun- tries. A breakdown of the status quo would undoubtedly find them impaired.
 In regard to Crete, says the correspon- dent. the present settlement is not meant to last forever. Means will be found to make the condition terrible for the high commissioner and the Cretons until a untion with Greece will be possible with less risk of causing disturbances than is the case at the present time.
