hunted him up.
This was the first time the two had
seen each other since the Spanish war.
Much to Gen. Lees surprise the old

him. "Why, what's the matter with
youPn asked the general.
"Nothing the matter with me-" was
the reply.
why, you don't seem as cordial and
friendly as you used to be. Out with it,
tell me what is wrong urged Gen.
Lee.
"Well," said the old man, '.there

London, May 29.-The government
leader, A. ]. Balfour, announced in the
house of commons today that he hoped
to be able on Monday next to announce
the result of the peace negotiations in
South Africa. Mr.. Balfour added:
Il cannot, however, be absolutely
certain of being in position to do so,
and until the statement can be made
/ do not think it expedient to take up
the budget"
The government leader also added:
"A recent phrase, hung in the bal.
ance,' has been absurdly misinterpret-
ed as referring to divisions in the cab
met on the subject of the budget That
is not fact, and the only point is
whether the house can properly be ask

precisely where they stand in regard
to the negotiations.
In spite Of Mr.. Balfours pretended
uncertainty, there is no doubt what
ever in the house of commons or else
where that full peace settlement will
be announced Monday next.

Story Hitherto Unpublished Regarding

New York, May 29.-In connection
with the Ford tragedy, which occurred
recently in this city, story hitherto
unpublished is in circulation regarding
the cause of the shooting which cost
the lives of the author, Paul Leicester
Ford. and his brother, Malcolm, the
famous athlete
1t is to the effect that Malcolm. who
was not provided for in his fathers
WILL notified Paul a week before the
shooting that he must have $25,O 900
which he claimed was his due because
he signed waiver permitting the pro-
batting of the will. He is said to have
declared he needed the money badly
and to have become much incensed
when Paul replied that he did not
have the sum on hand, adding that he
should consult other members of the
family. Malcolm is said to have re-
piled that one of the heirs had kept
the agreement. but that he would
not consult the others, and departed
with the declaration that he would re-
turn week hence for the money, fail
ing to receive which he should resort
to desperate measures.

sAGAsTA AND MEMBERSHIP.
His Early Retirement From Office
Again Being Discussed.

Madrid, May 29.-The possibility of
the early retirement of Senor Sagasta
from the premiership is again being
discussed in connection with the differ
ences regarding the meeting of the
cortes.
The president of the senate, Senior
Montero Rios, considers that as no de-
cree proroguing the session has been
issued the law requires the reassem-
bling of parliament, and he has decid-
ed to summon the senate to meet on
June 2.
Senor Sagasta is opposed to convok-
ing the cortes and will appeal to the
king, who, it is said, will not sign the
prorogation decree without consulta-
tion with other political leaders. It is
held in some quarters that such action
on the part of his majesty will render
Senor Sagasta's position untenable.
