Through Ambassador Choate He Sends an
Apology to the Kansas Legislature.
Topeka, Kas.. March 16.--A letter
was received here today from Joseph
ii. Choate, United States Ambassador
to England, in which the regrets of
King Edward VII expressed for the
unfortunate wording of The message to
the Kansas Legislature after the death
Of Queen Victoria
The Legislature aent letter Of con-
dolence to King Edward after the death
Of Queen Victoria, and In his letter OF
acknowledgment the king expressed
thanks fo- the loyalty of the Kanssns.
One of the legislators objected to the
word loyalty" and his motion to have
the letter stricken from the records
prevailed.
Mr.. Choate's letter explains that
common wording was used in oil letters
of acknowledgements to persona in the
British dominions, and by an oversight
the wording was not changed In writing
to the Kansas Legislature.
Mr.. Choate, writing to the legisla.
tive committee, says: II have learned
that the king was much panied when
he learned of this blunder.

MONEY FOR THE SCHOOL BOARD.


March Appropriation Advanced at the
Meeting of City Council.
City Council, at its meeting Thursday
evening, advanced to the Board Of
Education its appropriation for March,
amounting to Sl3. 566.0l. 1t was ex-
pscted that the money would be appro
priated at the meeting last week, but
for some reason the money was not
forthcoming at that time, and as a
result the board was unable to pay the
salaries Of teachers, officers and janitors
last Tuesday, which was the usual
time. A large number of bills, which
would also have been Eaid at that time
were held up to await the receipts of
money from Council.
At the last meeting OF the board,
last Monday week, the salaries and
bills were ordered paid when the money
was received, and now that the appro-
priation has been granted the order can
be complied with.

71dE CASE OF LORD DUFFERIN. WHO FELL. INTO
THE HANDS OF UNsCRUPULOUS PROMOTERS
New-York tribune., 1901-01-06


The fate which has overtaken Lord Dufferin,
the beau ideal of Irish nObleman and of a
public spirited peer of the realm, is enough to
discourage men of his class from devOting them
selves TO the service Of a country that shows
so little gratitude for services rendered The
Crown too often seems to think it has relieved
itself of obligation when it has conferred
order of knighthOOd a step in the peerage
upon an ex-VicerOy, a former Ambassador
a veteran Governor who has spent the greater
part OF his life in administering to Great Brit
aims dependencies. But these tokens of recog-
milton, while in measure gratifying, at
the best costly since they carry with them
additional pension pay and no additional
provision for the wife and children of the
cipient but merely increase in expense.
There are few of these tried servants of the
Crown who. if called upon to choose between
an order or peerage and additional S3 900
nension would not readily express their pref
erence for the latter. 1t is doubtful whether
Lord Dufferin, who while Viceroy of India
added the kingdom Of Burmah to the possessions
Of Queen Victoria, ever cared much for his
