ATTITUDE OF FRANCE
Will Probably BE That of the United
States.

Paris, Nov. 5.-The French consul at
Panama has cabled a. request for in
sturctions, in view of the revolution,
and Foreign Minister Del Casse is
considering the question. There is a
strong indication that the French atti-
lude will not be materially different
from that of the United States and
probably will take the same general
lines

IN THE FRENCH SENATE
Debate Was on Proposition to Re-
peal the FaIIOuX Law.

Paris, Nov. 5.-Debate on the propo-
sition to repeal the Falloux law, which
would result in creating a state monop-
oily of educational institutions, was
begun in the Senate to-day.
There was a full attendance of SEN
ators and the galleries were crowded.
The principal feature of the debate was
the opposition of NJ. Dupuy, expires
ident of the council, who said the re-
peal of the law would be a serious in
fringement of the principles of liberty.
The debate was not concluded.
In the Chamber of Deputies the de-
bate on the budget was made the oc-
casion for vote on the suppression of
crucifxes and other religious emblems
in courts of justice.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

rkVm WI 1o6 uAoS VVAtVbPVuuOns
Out of a clear Delaware
sky has arisen a cloud which
gives promise of becoming a
cyclone, causing havoc a n d
disaster to the Roosevelt pop
ularity in that State. Miss
Hulda B. Todd, postmaster,
or must we say postmistress,
at Greenwood, Della ware, has
seen removed from Office at
the behest OF Senator Alice,

quences of the removal prom
Use to be dire. According to
the residents OF Greenwood.
Miss Todd made a thorough
ly efficient post master and
according to Senator Ball
she has been the best post
master Greenwood ever had.
Nevertheless, she was s1mma
rily dismissed by Postmaster
General Payne. She came to
Washington to learn the oc-
casiOn OF her dismissal after
a service that covered Fl v e
years, and Mr.. Payne told
her she was "personally OBJ
noxious to Senator Alice. :"
Since then Postmaster Gener
al Payne has explained that
by a mutual agreement Sena
tor Ball was to control t h e
federal patronage for New
Castle county, and Senator
Alice for that Of Kent and
Sussex counties. Miss Todd
was "antl-Addicks republi-
can" in Sussex county and Of
course Senator Alice claimed
the light to name her success

l;cans have now appealed the
case to the President, asking
1.-THE welfare of the .Addicks
machine must be regarded az

ployee. If Mr.. Roosevelt sup

all he will incur the enmity Ol

cans, and OF all the respecta

he will incur the enmity oi
