COMMENTS Of PARIS PAPERS.


Paris, March 12.-The disaster to
Gen. Methuen's column has caused Q
deep impression in Paris. The news
papers express the opinion that it
will have a great moral effect in en-
couraging the Beers to more obsti-
nate resistance. At the same time
the papers do not speak too harshly
Of Gen. Methuen, owing to his gener-
GUS conduct in the Gen. Villebois-
Mareuil affair.
The Temps asks: "Will England
end by realizing that it is impossible
to exterminate the Beers and that
the only issue is negotiations for a
treaty Of peace acceptable to both
sides?"
The Journal DIES Debats, abiding
to the demonstration of the Irish
members in the house of commons
Monday, says: "rhe double and
grave problem which England has
to face could not rise up before her
in more menacing and Notifying
manner than at the present mo-
ment."

When . Hall Of Fame" was first
proposed as q feature Of the Worlds
Fair at St. Louis, correspondence
WAS begun with Kansas % one OF the
Louisiana Purchase States entitled to
representation. The object Of this
correspondence was to open the way
for a preliminary canvass by calling
the attention Of prominent educators,
journalists, public men and Others to
the subject so as to secure their CO.
operation in calling 1t to public at
tsntion that, when the people Of Kan.
sas finally make their selections for
themselves in their own way, the en-
tire subject will be fully before them.
In point Of time this preliminary
correspondence has occupied some
thing over six months and it is not
vet closed. Several hundred letters
have been sent out. reaching all
parts Of the State. The recipients
Of these letters were asked to make
preliminary suggestions Of the names
OF two historical personages no longer
living, who had done most to make
history in Kansas, or as representa-
tives OF the State in Its relations to
other States OF the Louisiana Pur'
chase, to the United States as a whole
and to the civilization OF the world at
large. The only restriction suggested
was that the names should be Of
persons no longer living. The names
thus suggested are as follows John
Brown, John j. ingalls,, Ex-Governor
Charles Robinson, James H. Lane,
John W. Geary, John P. st. John.
The name Of General Funston was
also suggested in addition to these,
but as he is one Of the historical per.
sonages Of the State who are still liv.
ing, the suggestion ignored the limi-
tation under which the choice must
be from Kansas history-makers whose
work Is ended.

Tho Railroad Merger Case.

New York, March 12.-Lawyers

swer to the bill of equity filed in the
United States circuit court for the
district of Minnesota to test the va
lidity Of the merger. 1t Is said that
tho answer will be that the Northern
Securities company owns not more
than 40 per cent. Of the Great North
ern stock, or less than a controlling
interest, while it owns 9s per cent. OF
the Northern Pacific stock. The
lawyers for the defense hold that
there is no control of competing

no violation Of the antitrust law.

K G. Journal: c. B. Hoffman, the

that he must have a strong mind as

confronted by problems Of cultivation,

he has added to his industry stock

oughly the proportion of each. He
no longer raises all Of bis feed for

Yifsh pistriet Instruetisn.

Frank s. Williams Of Clay Center
thinks the delegations elected BY
counties 10 the Fifth district to the
Republican state convention should
be uninstructed. Speaking about the
matter yesterday be said:
mo county in the Fifth district up
to this date has held its convention
for the selection Of delegates to the
Republican state convention. Nearly
all the counties in the district will
hold their conventions between the
18th and the 22nd Of this month.
This Fifth has four candidates for
places upon the state ticket. | don't
know what policy may be pursued
by the several counties in the matter
Of instructions but my teliei is that
with or without instructions, our dis.
trict will be loyal to its candidates SO
long IS there is any chance Of landing
them. My opinion is that the inter-
ests Of all the Fifth district candidates
will be best observed If all the dele
gates from the district bs allowed by
their counties to 70 to the state con.
ventson entirely unhampered by in.
structions for any candidates, either
within or without the district. The
Fifth district has no candidate for
governor and in my judgment its
delegates will 60 to the convention
unpledged to the support Of any one Of
the several candidates. Such a policy
is one that, l thoroughly believe,
should be pursued by the district II it
would 60 into the convention with
the greatest influence"
