ton of San Francisco.

For Century and Quarter Two
Friendly Nations Have Marked
Great Events by Tokens
of This Kind.
ANOTHER IN A LONG sERl

WASHINGTON, April ia medal in
gold, the gift of the French government,
commemorative of the restoration of San
FRANCISCO from the fix. and oarthauake of
three years ago. is to be presented in per-
son TO the authorities of that city by AM
bassador Jusserand between May 20 and
IS. The wedal was designed by Louis
Bottee. winner of ancient prize of Rome
and one of the best known French medal
designers On one side Is depicted al
legorically the city of San Francisco lay
ing aside its shroud and issuing forth from
the ruins, while ON the other is repre-
sented France presenting a branch Of
laurel to America.
The medal is offered to the American
people and the city of San Francisco as
a token of sympathy and admiration by
the French republic. NJ. Jusserand in a
letter asking the offices OF Secretary Knox
in informing the san Francisco authorities
of the Instructions he has received. gave
a brief history of the incidents and mo-
tives which inspired his government in
presenting the medal.
Congress In 1904 directed that a single
gold medal be struck to commemorate the
20th anniversary of the birth of Benjamin
Franklin and presented TO the French re-
rotary Root at Philadelphia about three
years ago and the ambassador In his re-
sponse expressed the earnest hope that
one of the next medals to be struck would
commemorate the resurrection of San
Francisco, the disas ster to which awakened
the deepest grief I'm every French heart
and admiration for the manliness displayed
by the population during their awful trial.
| Continuing, NJ. Jusserand in his letter TO
| Mr.. Knox, said:
1.-THE words which spoke thus and under
| the influence of the emotion called by that
J event turned out TO agree 50 exactly with
the sentiment of my country that the gov
ernment OF the republic at once appropri-
ated them as its own. II consequently de-
cIded to justify them. while al the same
| time the inhabitants OF he devastated re-
gion were, on heir part. setting about to
restore their city in it's original beauty
with the energy and success which IL had
been so easy to predict.

showed the absolute control of the po-
litical situation by the Young Turks

then regarded as not promising well for

a question how the moderate elements Of

The committee OF union and progress
consistently opposed Kiamil Pssha, Hlmi

consequent downfall of his cabinet. The
irresponsible Interference OF this commit
