The Westminster Gazette and other
papers forecast Lord Miner, the hig.-
commissioner in South Africa, sue

seen the king. Almost every paper
has its own candidates for the various
vacant offices, but few of the propne-
cies coincide. The attitude OF the
Duke OF Devonshire, lord president Of
the council, being unknown to the pub
lie. creates further uncertainty.

that Mr. Chamberlain's resignation

Right Hon. c. T. Ritchie, chancellor

Dickinson Press: The Marquise de |
Mores, nee Won Hoffman, the one time
cattle queen of the Bad Lands, and for
whom the town of Medora was built and
named is. with two of her children.
Louis and Anthenaise, the guest of the
once famous little town of Medora.
The marquise arrived Monday after
noon from the east and has crossed
the seas to again visit the scenes where
she and her dashing young husband
made much of the color of the early
history of Dakota, after the white man
had settled for good.
1t is seventeen years since the mar
quise left Medora. At that time she
was a beautiful young woman. She is
still fine looking, and has the same
taste for the stirring life that she had
when she was the hostess of the presi-
dent of the United States at her ranch
at Medora and her young husband was
making plans to revolutionize the cat
te business of the country-plans that
failed in his hands, but which were
afterward adopted by the great pack
ers to their own enrichment. 81 just

quise. 81 want my children to see the
place has been kept up. and shall find

that it was quite possible to get along

times think are essentials. have nc
plans loved Medora, l love it still
and it will be very dear to my memory
l will not let Medora die until after
do Ican't tell just what l will do, but
| must see the old ranch.
| Louis de Mores is a fine looking
young fellow of IS; and his sister is
three years older. The son is very
much like his father when he came
to the slope in 1SS2-though somewhat
younger. He went east Friday to enter
Yale college.
Miss Athenaise. who was five years
old when she left the plains, is now a
beautiful young lady with her fathers
dark complexion. A younger son, born
in France, more strongly resembles the
marquis than either Louis or Athenase
but has the light complexion of his
mother. The children. while using
French in conversation with eacf
other. speak English huently.
