than many people dream Our diplo-
macy succeeded in averting the danger,
though with difficulty"
Referring to the American duty on
German wines, DR.. Paasche said he had
mentioned the matter to Chancellor Won
Buelow, who had promised to do every
thing in his power to prevent it. Never
tlleiess. he added, the Americans were
incensed against Germany because OF
difficulties thrown in the way of the i'm

LIVE WASHINGTON AFFAIRS
A Minister for Morocco.

Secretary Hay, through the Secretary
of the Treasury, has asked Congress to
appropriate $500 annually to provide
for an envoy extraordinary and minister
plenipotentiary to Morocco. He urges
that the establishment of such mission
should not be delayed. Our relations
with that country are growing. he says
and there are possibilities for a large
volume of trade. Forcasting import
ant changes in Morocco, Secretary Hay
says that potential commercial interests
of the United States should be safe
guarded

States in Morocco is a consular ofilcer,
while nine European powers have MN
listers who are permitted to see the
Sultan and impress him with sense OF

joy American protection in Morocco are
not treated with that degreee OF courtesy

The death of Louise Michel, the
Red Virgin" and THE Petroleuse, as
she liked to be called, removes one Of
the famous figures of the Paris Com
niune, and one of the most advanced,
as well as sincere, of the French Reds. ;"
Born in the Chateau of Vroncourt, in
the Department of the Haute Marine, IN
1888, she was the Legitimate daughter
of chambermaid employed there and
the son Of NJ de Mailly, the owner of the
chateau. While M. de Mailly remained in
possession of the chateau Louise's moth
err was well taken care of, and she grew
up in the remote place, a favorite OF
her old grandfather, and educated her
self in the chateau's library. When
Louise was IA years old the De Maillys
were compelled to sell their chateau, and
her life there came to an abrupt conclu-
sion. She obtained the place OF as
sistant schoo1teacher in the village
schools of Audelencourt and Millieres,
near her old home.
In 1860 she went with her mother to
Paris and there her theories underwent
complete transformation. She estab-
lished a school in Montmartre which
for a time prospered. Largely under
the influence of Victor Hugo, however,
Louise became an outspoken and bitter
enemy of the empire, teaching her pu-
pills to sing "The Marseillaise" and not
permitting them to pray for the En-
peror. Frightened by these radical sur.
roundings, parents began to take their
children away, and the school ceased to
prosper.
1t dragged along, however, until with
the outbreak of the Franco Prussian
War another stage in Louise Micheps
life began. She had long cherished the
ambition of saving France by the muir
der of Louise Napoleon, as the heroine
of her youth, Charlotte Corday, had
killed Marat. She afterward declared
that only the Emperor's departure to the
Inflated field of Sedan prevented her
from carrying out her designs.
Louise's hatred of the empire. how
ever, had not affected her patriotism.
She did splendid work in an ambulance
corps, and toward the close of the siege
of Paris she donned the uniform of a
national guardsman and fought with
distinguished bravery.
1t was in the Commune, however, that
she made herself famous. She offered
to kill Theirs as she had planned to
kill Napoleon, and went to Versailles
and back to prove that it could be done.
Her proposition, however, was rel ected
by the scruples of the Communard lead
ers, and she was compelled to content
herself with the organization of the
Central Committee of the Union des
Femmes.
While the Versailles troops were fore
ing their way slowly into the burning
city and the Commune was falling, Lou
Use distinguished herself with rifle and
petroleum Wounded in the defense of
Fort Issy, she returned to the city to
aid in the defense of the barbados.
Falling into the hands of the Versailles
troops, she escaped only to learn that
her mother had been arrested in her
stead, Louise at once gave herself up
and her mother was released.
