 London, April Dispatches re- ceived here from Paris reiterate the stories of affronts to Lord Darlington and his suite while returning from Lisbon after formally announcing King Edwards accession to King Charles of Portugal 1t seems that the train on which the mission travelled conveyed a number of nurses returning from the Boer army. The. result, says a dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Co. from Paris. was that at every sta -tIon there were violent anti British scenes. Lord Darlington and his suite were openly insulted. while the nurses were greeted with loud cheers. The situation became so intolerabie that the British mission finally changed trains.

OFFERED TO MR.. KNOX,
he Will Probably Accept the Attor-
ney GeneraIshtp,

hey 1ener0lshfp.
Philander c. Knox of Pittsburg arrived
In Washington this morning, registering at
the Shoreham. Shortly after noon he went
to the White House and remained in con-
ference with President Mckinley more than
an hour. On leaving the White House he
said that the officials there would make a
statement, relieving him of saying any
thing. The statement made public by Sec
retary Cortelyou was this:
The President has invited Mr.. Knox to
accept the office of Attorney General Mr.
Knox has not yet signified his acceptance
and Will not announce his conclusions until
after his return to his home"
This statement was all that was available
as to the offer or Mr.. Knox's Intentions
Mr. Knox said that he thought this was stlf-
nclent, and asked to be excused from fur
ther questioning. He said that he would
remain in Washington until tomorrow after
noon, when he will go to Pittsburg After
a conference with his friends there he will
announce his intentions.
1t is pretty generally believed however
that Mr.. Knox will accept the offer of the
President. Ii he did not intend to do so 1t
Is doubtful if the statement would have
been made that the offer had been ten
dered.
Mr.: Knox made good impression at
the White House He is clean cut oujclx
and apparently built on the order of Attor-
ney General Griggs, whose executive abili-
" and business qualifications have given
hlm rank as head of the Department of
Justice that will be difficult to excel Mr.
Knox is smooth shaven and does not look
to be over forty-five years of age He is a
great lawyer, and is reputed to have be-
come millionaire solely by the practice of
his profession.

WHAT'S TO BE DONE WITH HIM,
CO1. COr1iss Says This Is the Question
as to AEuinaldO.

DENVER, Colo, March 2s.-Col A. w.
Corliss, who returned last week from the
Philippines, was highly pleased to learn of
the capture of the rebel chieftain, Aguinal-
do. But the question now is" he said,
What Shall we do with him?
Il do not consider the capture of Aeui-
naldo the most important thing that could
have happened, though it may have the
effect to send all Of the rebels tumbling In
to surrender as fast they can. General
Trias, who surrendered a few days ago.
was more important to my mind than any
of the other fellows. The FiIipinos have
come to appreciate that hero who hides
out In the bushes and keeps away from
the front as much rs possible, is not much
or a hero, and Aguinaldo has lost his old
time prestige.
Now l hope to hear Of the capture or
surrender of General Cailles. He has more
Iif1uence and following than Aguinaldo.
When he Is captured or surrenders HOSTILE
ties will be near an end"

Great Activity I'm Carrying Trade
Along the Coast.

HONG KONG, March 2s.-It is reported
from Canton that the activity of the French
is greatly increasing in the neighborhood of
that city. Two steamers ply between Hong
Kong and Canton, and gunboats are much

is also reported that two steamers are be-
ing built in France to run between Hong
Kong and Canton. and that France intends
to subsidize the carrying of the mails 1t
is also expected that a French post Office
will open In Canton about April L
Objections have been lodged to the ply
ing of the steam launches under the tri-
color. Chinese captains now fly the tri-
color, with an addition of three small stars
which are invisible a short distance away
and as a result, 1t is said, the Chinese peo-
pie Imagine they are still under the trj-
color. and conclude that the French In
fuence is gaining. It is also reported that
a French hospital was opened at Shap,een
some months back for the purpose of re-
ceiving Chinese patients. All this aids
French influence and prestige.

VISIT TO A SULTAN
Taft Commission Calls on His Majesty
of Sulu.
LATTER WAS GAUDILY ATTIRED
He Complained That the Treaty
Was Not Being Observed.
DISPOSED TO BE OFFISH

JoLo. Sulu Islands, March 27-At con-
| ference at Jolo Of the American Philippines
commissioners with the Sultan of Sulu. the
sultan said that the only complaint that he
had to make was that the Americans were
not following the treaty wholly. One par
tlcular instance which he cited was the
| trying OF natives, arrested for piracy by
Americans, these cases having been sent
to a judge or military officers while i'm
other criminal cases the defendants had
been sent to the dattos or sultan for trial
The commission directed the sultan to
make a complaint in writing
The sultan really has no system Of gov
erDment, though he maintains the form
and ceremony of one. The sultan collects
lines and assessments. but the dattos. who
are hereditary officials more nearly con-
troll the people.
Commission Heartily Received.
The commission was heartily received on
its arrival here, the headquarters of the
sultan and the residences of many Of the
people being decorated with flags the stars
and stripes floating through the town.
while thousands of firecrackers were ex-
ploded in all directions. 1t was a beautiful
summer morning, and when the sultan
had not put in an appearance upon the ar
rival of the last launch. a cutter was sent
with the secretary of the commission to in
Nite the sultan to visit the ship. 1t
brought his majesty, clothed I'm gold and
purple, and decorated with Jewels He
presented comic opera aspect as he came
on board followed by his ministers and a
score of relatives in motley court array
They were greeted with salute OF seven
teen guns.
Commissioner Taft explained TO his
majesty that there was no disposition on
the part of the members to come to inter
fere with the administration of the sui
tans affairs or the habits customs and the
religion of the people. He said that the
only motive governing the commission was
the prospective prosperity and happiness
OF the people of the Sulu Islands and that
the people of the United States expected
the treaty to be strictly observed.
Thanked by the sultan
The sultan then thanked Commissioner
Taft and spoke proudly of the cable and
the other improvements introduced by the
Americans, adding that his best friends
were the military officials, and that he cx-
peeted to abide by the decision of the COM
missioners and to follow their advice His
majesty then inspected the ship. That af-
ternoon the sultan was received at the
American military headquarters and in
spected the troops. Native sports followed
which were witnessed by the commission
ers and others.
The public places are crowded with
Americans, natives and other orientals and
native and Chinese performances In honor
OF the commission. The sultan will not ap-
pear at any Of the performances and is
apparently backward in taking part in
ceremontals in honor of the commission
ers. Military officials here say that il
would be better If the treaty with the Sui
tan or Sulu should define his rights in de-
tail,
