Troubles Of a Big Circus.

A contemporary publication prints a
story that while it has its humorous
side, illustrates to what extent the man
agement of big modern circus is har-
raised with claims based on all sorts
OF excuses and many times with out the
least semblance of justice in them. The
John Robinson show was in a little town
in an adjacent state and it CHANGED to
be Sunday and the big animal tent while
it was up and the men were busy get
ting things in shape after hard week
was not open to the public, but that did
not deter a country swain and his lassie
from coming under the side wall of the
tent and gazing hand in hand at the
open dens, and all would have been well
had not the curiosity of Eve tempted
the girl to try and reach an ostrich
feather one OF the big birds had shed
in the cage. While Mr.. Ostrich wears a
worried and preoccupied look, he has

French Officials are Uneasily
Awaiting Germany's Reply.
KAISER'SPOSITION in DOUBT
Hint That His Government Will Not
Agree to Limit Proposed Con-
ference-Unrest Along the
Border.

Paris, June 23.--0ficial circles here
observe the outward appearance of en-
tire tranquility over the Franco German
negotiations, but an undercurrent of
considerable anxiety prevails relative to
Germany's answer to the French note.
This is somewhat intensified by pub
LEGATIONS purporting to show that it
is Germany's intention to insist that
the Moroccan conference be not tram
melted by specific limitations upon its
scope. Nothing, however, has yet been
received from official sources indicating
that such is the purpose of Germany,
and Premier Rouvier's associates main
tain that, as his note is couched in a
calm, conciliatory tone, there is reason
to expect that Germany win answer
him, in similar spirit Of concilia-
ton.
A considerable element in parilamen-
tary circles, however, show much solicit
tude regarding the outcome Of the nego-
tiations.
Reports from the frontier continue to
show marked military activity and a
feeling of unrest among the people liv-
ing along the border. The influential
press, evidently in accordance with the
wishes of the government, refrains from
discussing the military aspect, asserting
that the negotiations, while in a deli
cate state, continue normal.

Balfour Gives in and Stores Scandal Will
Be Probed.

London, lime 23-Under pressure
from al sides Premier Balfour has made
a further concession in regard to the in
xestigstion into the army stores scandal,
and yesterday announced in the House
of Commons that the Government would
Immediately introduce a bill creating a
statutory commission to inquire into
the scandal. This commission will be
armed with powers to compel the attend

ties for perjury, etc, which the previous

have possessed.
No question has excited so much in

The government was subjected to per-
feet hail of queries openly suggesting
ministerial responsibility and the gov

Mr.. Balfour declared, amidst ironical
opposition cheers, that he led no party
to dilatory tactics, and agreed to the
creation Of a commission armed with

Mr. Balfour also agreed to give June

the London government in whatever eff

about an immediate armistice, or to
prevent a clash before the converting of

The British officials believe, according

that Japan would be sacrificing great
