THE WILLIAM L. WILSON Me-
MORTAL.

New York Evening Post.
In view of the great public service,
the broad patriotism, and the beauti
| full traits of character which adorned
the life of the late William L. Will
son, his friends throughout the I'm
| ion have determined to erect to his
| memory a memorial worthy of his
| life and character. In determining
the form that such memorial should
take, they have been greatly influence
ell by the following facts:
When Mr.. Wilson was elected Pres
| ident of Washington and Lee Univer-
sity, in the year 1897, he found that
| there was no chair of economics IN
| the university, and upon examination
| found that there was no such distinct
chair in any southern university. His
! public life had shown him the i'm
portance of intoxicating in the minds
Of the young men of the country
sound financial and economic views.
/ So impressed was he with this
thought that out of his own meagre
salary he established and largely sup
ported a chair of economics, the funds
of the university not permitting Of
| such expenditure. His friends have
! therefore concluded that no more fit
| ting and enduring monument can be
erected to his memory than the en-
dOwment of the chair of economics
which he himself established and
for several years maintained in the
university, to be known as the Will
| liam l.. Wilson chair of economics;
and that the memorial may be worthy
of the man in whose honor 1t is
erected and that the services of the
| highest scholarship may be secured
in carrying out his purpose, they nave
| been impressed with the propriety
and Importance of raising at least
100000 for this purpose. The under
| signed committee has been selected
| to take charge of and prosecute the
work to completion, and it earnest
! ly appeals to the friends of education
| throughout the Union as we'll as to
Mr.. Wilson's personal friends anu to
| those who honor and exalt personal
virtue and patriotism, to aid in eff
! fccting the desired result.

TO GET AT THE TRUTH.

Senator SpOoner's plan to preface
the establishment of a civil govern
ment in the Philippines by having a
committee of Congress visit the ISL
ands and look over the entire situa
ton is said to have the approval Of
Mr.. Mckinley, who long ago gave
marked evidence of his Partially for
the government by commission idea
as an easy method of escaping respon-
sibility, having appointed commits
sions to deal with every crisis that
has confronted his administration.
Notwithstanding that the commits
sion to be appointed under the Spoon
er plan would probably be composed
chiefly of men favorable to the ad
ministration's policy still it's labors
would do much to clear up a confused
situation of which the country has
long been kept in total ignorance by
an ironclad military censorship. Con-
gress. of course, has shared this gen.

sacrificed in the effort. No wonder
Congress demands something like full
and reliable information before as
Stunning responsibility for the govern
ment of these islands. To-day the
British parliament, the French depu-
ties and the German reichstag proba-
bly, know more about actual condi-
tions in the archipelago than the
United States Congress. thanks to the
vigilance of Mr. McKinley's censor
ship.
When the Supreme Court shall have
settled the status Of these possess
ions the Congressional committee
proposed by Mr.. Spooner would proba-
bly, be in a position to recommend a
form Of government for them to re-
place the military government.
The new commission which would
represent the civil authorl,y. should
not be confused with the Schurman
and Taft commissions, which simply
represented the President in his capa-
city as Comnander-in-chie of the
forces and could DO nothing except
under his orders, being his confiden-
tial agents and completely subject to
his will The proposed Congression-
al committee would have almost I'M

MKINLEY's MESSAGE FIRST.

LONDON, January 23.-Among the
innumerable kilograms of sympathy
that continue pouring in from abroad
President McKinleys gives the great
est pleasure.
The Daily Chronicle remarks:
1T is believed that President McKin-
ley's despatch was the first to reach the
Prince Of Wales under his new title. and
Just as Frederick the Great was the first
European sovereign to recognize the. in
dependence Of the United States go now
the President of the great republic has

more won the day. For another fifteen
minutes, with only the Princess Of
Wales and few others present,


Wales and few Others present,
The Feeble Spark of Life
was maintained. At $50, with EN-
peror William, the Prince OF Wales
and the others absent, death actually
came.
Death has softened the face and the
thin veil conceals no terrible defects.
The hand of the mighty leveller dealt
with her lovingly; and, as the last
visitation of nature has been merciful-
~ mitigated, so also have been the
pomp and glory which accompany the
succession of the King. Tuesday night
neither he nor his wife would allow
their encourage to address them by
their correct titles.
The large force of detectives pres
ent from London is precaution against
any anarchist attempt upon the life OF
Emperor William and not on account
of the new King.
Messages of coincidence do not cease
to pour in from all quarters of the
world. President McKinley's early
telegram created a most favorable i'm
preston. 1t was handed around among
the royal personages at breakfast yes
terday morning with the general COM
ment that American sympathy was
fifty the first to be received.

FRENCH MINISTER IN PERIL
SHOT INTENDED FOR DELCASSE FIRED
NEAR PIERRE BAUDIN BY
WOMAN.

Paris, July 16.-Pierre Baudin. Minister of
Public Works. was shot at while driving to a
Cabinet meeting at the Elysee Palace this morn
ing. fired the shot She was ac-
companied by a ten-year-od child. She ap-
preached NJ Baudin's carriage, and suddenly
drawing revolver. fired at the minister. NJ
Baudin was not hit, and proceeded to the palace
The woman arrested and gave her name
as Olzewsky and said she lived at Nanterre
She asserted that she had no intention of hit
ting NJ. Baudin. but that she fired her revolver
in the air to draw attention to an alleged griev-
ance of her husband. Her husband is described
as Count Olzewsky. a naturalized Frenchman,
holding a government receivership at Nanterre
He was formerly architect at Nice.
Nine. Olzewsky much disappointed that
she had fired her pistol at NJ Baudin. and
claimed:
What? I thought he was NJ, Deicasse, i
deeply regret l made this mistake. and L will
tender full apologies to NJ. Baudin.
Mime. Olzewsky further told the police that
she had been arrested at Nice in January, 1900.
for libelling and threatening NJ. Delcasse. but
that she subsequently released. She
fused to explain why she wished to shoot NJ.
Delcasse. The revolver she used Is Of small
calibre, and contained only cartridge. Nine.
OIzewsky was modestly dressed and is evident
ly poor.
Count OlZewsky for several years has pressed
his claims with successive French Foreign
Ministers. His wife particularly i'm
Fortunate that she several times expelled
from the building of the Department OF Foreign
Affairs the Quai d'Orsay. Although the in
debtedness to the OlZewskys denied, the
Foreign Ministers frequently pecuniarily
sisted the couple.
When she taken before the Prefect of
Police, NJ Lepne, Nine. OlZewsky refused 10
speak except in the presence OF counsel. The
statement that she meant to fire at NJ. Del
casse now appears to be substantiated, but she
knew neither VI. Delcasse NJ. Baudin. She
declares NJ. DeIcasse owes her considerable
money for information and services rendered 20
France.
The claims of the Olzewskys against the De-
partment OF Foreign Affairs are based upon the
fact that in 1896 Count OlZewsky was inVeigled
from Nice the frontier to Italian terri
tory, where he arrested on denunciation
a spy. He was released a month later. and
asked the French Government to demand of
Italy the payment of 100000 francs compensa-
ton asserting that his arrest had ruined his
business. He received from the Foreign Office
sums amounting to $500 francs and his place
as tax collector, receiver for the government,
was worth 2 800 francs year. He and his wife
were dissatisfied. and frequently pestered NJ.
Delcasse. These pesterings eliminated in to-
days incident.
