Sometimes Jefferson fled from II
all for a few days, seeking refuge at
. distant farm. This relief was but
temporary, however. Sometimes the
housekeeper had to provide hfty
beds; and so many slaves were re-
ouired for house service that few
were left for the farm work.

his library to Congress for Szo,9oo,

which he had endorsed for friend
completed his ruin.
He was on the point of disposlng
of Monticello by lottery, when his
friends came forward with offers OF
money. Public meetings were called
and subscriptions were started IN
large cities.
These free-will offers he did not
hesitate to accept in the spirit III
which they were made. Il have spent
three times as much money, and
giyen my whole life to my country

come forward in the only way they
can to repay me and save an old ser,

Of his founding the University OF
Virginia, Mr.. Watson says:
"It was an appropriate rounding
out of his bequest to posterlty that
he should give his last years to the
founding of the University of Vir-
ginia. Had he done nothing more
for mankind, his name would have
won honorable mention among those
who have benefited the human race.
What a chapter of heroic endeavor
and success it is. The aged, feeble
debt-ridden man giving a thousand
dollars, giving all of his influence, ex-
perience, genius; giving his thought
time and labor to every detail OF the
building and equipment; submitting
to many Sights, snubs, rebuffs, mis-
representations, but holding or
steadily year by year until at last the
institution is there, a splendid fina
triumph of the grand old warrior il

French Governments Claim

of Bouzran Repudiated

TANGIER, Aug. 26.-News has reached
here from Fee, dated August %, that
Bouzran, the French-Algerian citizen, is
still imprisoned at Gharb.
The Foreign Office has refused the de-
mands of the French Government for the
release of Bouzran. thus repudiating
Frances claim to Jurisdiction over
French-Algerian citizens in Morocco.
PARIS. Aug. 26.-Prince Won Radelin.
the German Embassador, to-day delivered
TO Premier Rouvier the reply of Germany
to the French note concerning the pro-
gramme to be discussed at the Moroccan
conference.
The reply deals consecutively with the
various points of the French programme
and with the Introduction Of some fresh
subjects. which probably will entail the
exchange of pourparlers or further
notes. However, it is certain that pro-
gress has been made. as Germany ac-
cepts the French propositions and merely
suggests amendments. This fact gives
reason for the belief that a definite agree
ment will be reached in a short time.
The Foreign Office is examining Ger
many's reply and preparing an answer.

ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 26.-The po-
lice department has drawn up q report
of the disturbances among the Let's in

CHINESE TIRE
Of BOYCOTT.
Adyices to State Department
Indicate That the Move
ment Is Losing Force
ITS COLLAPSE is NEAR
Leading Merchants Aid the
Peking Government in
Restoring Trade Relations
Special Dispatch to The Can.


WASHINGTON. Aug. 26-There has
been & decided slump in the Chinese boy
cott OF American goods, and advices TO
the Department of State from all parts
OF the Orient indicate that the backbone
Of the boycott is broken. Consul General
Rogers at Shanghai to-day advised Act
ing Secretary OF State Loomis that while
the boycott had not been stopped all
signs point 10 its termination in a short
time The Chinese Government, which
has been opposed to the boycott, is still
issuing manifestos to the people, and this
action is having a beneficial effect. In
the opinion Of officials here trade between
the United States and China will resume
normal proportions IN the near future.
Consul Sammons of Newchwang has
sent 10 the State Department a report in
which he takes a very optimistic view
Of the boycott on American goods. He
declares that the strongest movement in
favor Of the boycott is TO be found in
Shanghai, where most American goods
are landed. but that only certain elements
IN the city favor il, and the leading mer-
chants are opposed and will force the
snti-American agitation to die out soon-
The war in the East has had consider
able influence upon commerce, and espe-
cially IN American oil there is a great
chance, the Russian competition being re-
moved for the moment The cotton trade
has a dangerous competitor in Japan and
also in China itself which yearly pro-
ouces a large crop.
On account Of the present war no new
concessions have been given out to for
eign companies. but after the war it is
expected concessions for coal and gold
mining enterprises will be made in larger
number than ever before.

LORD KITCHENER !
TO Be SUPREME.
Chosen for Task of Strength
ening India's Defenses
Against Russian Invasion
MINTO A FIGURE HEAD
Balfour Regards Solution
of the Military Problem
as of First Importance
MINTO A FIGURE HEAD
Special Dispatch to The CAN.

LONDON, Aug. 26.-The real explain
etion of Viceroy Curzon's resignation
lies in the change of Indian policy.
Hitherto the army has been subordi-
nate to the civil administration, but IN
view of Russia's position on the north
western frontier, the Government has
decided that the defenses must be
strengthened. General Lord Kitchener
was chosen for the task of military
reorganization, and even Lord Curzon,
recognized as one of the empires
strong men, has not been permitted to
intervene Premier Balfour judges
that the solution of the defense prob
lens is urgent and vital, transcending
all other questions.
Probably the crisis would not have
arisen had not Lord Curzon been in
even worse health than usual. The
Governments anxiety regarding Rus
sia was fully explained to him when
he was last in England. He knew that
Field Marshal Earl Roberts and other
leading officers fully shared in this
view. Premier Balfour regards Lord
Kitchener as an essential man in India
to-day and even his friendship with
Lord Curzon did not affect his judg-
ment.
1t is regarded as unlikely that Lord
Curzon will reopen the controversy on
his return home, or that he will seek
to enter the House of Commons during
the present Parliament. as he might,
being an Irish Peer.
The ex-Viceroy has never been popu
lar here or in India, but general praise
is accorded him for the brilliancy of
his administration and the hope is en-
tertained that some new field of use
fulness will be found for him when his
health is restored
Earl Mimic, Curzon'S successor, will
cordially cooperate with Lord Kitch-
