FRENCH's ATTITUDE

Former Congressman Burton L.

Mr.. H. v. Williams,
Standpoint, Idaho.
Dear Mr.. Williams

25th ultim0, asking with regard to
my position on Cannonism, the tariff,
railroad legislation and waterways,
an absence from Moscow for a sohrt

paign, but Ii / decide to become can
didate before the primaries you may
regard my letter as giving my position
on these questions. The probability
Is that | shall be candidate. If |
am not, you may regard my letter as
expressing my personal views.
| am unalterably opposed to the
longer continuation of Mr.. Cannon as
speaker of the house of representa-
tives. He should have been defeated
the last time, and would have been
beaten had those who were pledged
to vote against him represented their
promises to the people. Mr.. Cannon
in my opinion, does not represent the
sentiment of the masses Of the peo-
pie OF the west, nor of any other part
OF the country, for that matter, and
Cannonism stands for type of poll
tics that is not at all in harmony with
American ideals. It stands for selfish
ness and favoritism to the individual
as against the people generally, and
for a policy that means for the best
interest of the special interests. .
Not with any feeling Of i'll will to-
ward Mr.. Cannon, but after few
years of service in the house of rep
resentatives, make this statement

Timely Offer Of Appointment as Min
lister to France Ended the Great
Journalists Criticism Of the
Administration.

The following hitherto unpublished
anecdote. related to me by one who
was lifelong friend of Thurlow
Weed. illustrates Lincoln's supreme
gift as politician in the best mean
ing of the term.
In the darkest days of the civil war,
when there had been severe and con-
tinued reverses to the union army,
when 1t was known to Mr.. Lincoln
that France and England were con-
templating interference, or, at least,
the raising of the blockade, and when
Secretary of the Treasury Chase was
trying to establish a satisfactory cur
rency system, the New York Herald,
in an earnest, not unkindly, but Sc
verely critical way, reproached the ad-
ministration at Washington. At that
time the Herald was regarded in Eu-
rope as the leading American newspa-
per, and because of this fact the posi-
ton taken by the founder of the Her
aid, James Gordon Bennett, gave Mr..
Lincoln serious concern. He was anx-
1ous to obtain the support of, and to
put an end to criticism by, the Herald.
He did it by one master stroke of tact.
skillful diplomacy and an intuitive un-
derstanding of the character of Mr.
Bennett.
Late one afternoon Thurlow Weed,
the master politician of New York
state, called by appointment upon
James Gordon Bennett at his beautiful
country place, as it then was, on the
| upper end of Manhattan island.
! The two great Journalists strolled
for an hour or so through the beautiful
grounds and national park that was
part of Mr.. Benefits country estate.
They talked of men and events for a
while, and also of the growth of New
York city, which, Mr. Bennett said.
would ultimately convert the upper
end of Manhattan island, then for
est, into residence district.
At last Mr.. Weed said-and am re-
peating the words as they were told
to me by Mr.. Weeds friend:
/ "Mr. Bennett, l have recently seen
President Lincoln. He Is greatly dis.
turbed about the situation in France
You know, of course, that Louis Napo
leon was just prevented, and by fortu
nate accident, from recognizing the
southern confederacy, or, at least. from
declaring that France would attempt
to lift our blockade?"
"Yes," replied Mr. Bennett, 81 know
about that. know the part you had
in it, and what signal service you were
able to give to the United States al
that time. Tell me more about It."
Thereupon Mr.. Weed narrated tt

stances which made it possible for
him to prevent Louis Napoleon from
declaring it to be Frances purpose to
raise the union blockade OF the con-
federate ports. Mr. Bennett was deep
1y interested in this secret history.
Concluding his narrative, Mr.. Weed
continued:
Nov, Mr.. Bennett, the situation re-
mains critical in France. President
Lincoln is very anxious that we shall
be represented at Paris by a minister
who understands the French people
one for whom Louis Napoleon has cor
dial feeling-and at the same time by
a man who is a conspicuous and infiu-
entail American citizen. President
Lincoln has asked me to put myself
into communication with you to say to
you that if you will accept the post OF
minister to France he will gladly NOM
mate you for that Office, feeling that
your service there would be of the
highest value to the United States"
Equally delighted and surprised at
the unexpected turn of affairs. Mr..
Bennett expressed his high apprecia-
ton of the distinguished honor that
Mr.. Lincoln proposed to confer on
him, adding that for him it was a
greater honor to have been thought of
by the president in this connection
than any he could obtain by actually
filling the French mission. But 1t
seemed to him that he and the Herald
would be of greater service to the
union were he to remain in this coun-
try in immediate touch each day with
his newspaper. He therefore was sure
that he ought to instruct Mr.. Weed to
say to the president that, while he
highly appreciated the honor, yet he
| believed his post of duty was at home.

LOOSENS PARACHUTES AND Is KILLED

Portland. Maine. July 6.-Mistaking

of his aerial act James Corcoran, an
aeronaut, 2S years old, of Lowell,

Corcoran WAS employed by Professor
Joseph Laroux of this city, with whom
the municipal authorities contracted
for balloon aseensions and parachute
jumps at the Eastern promenade. Three
parachutes were attached to the not
air balloon for triple jump by the
aeronaut. 1t was arranged that Cor
colan should crop with his parachutes

volver shots from Laroux on the
ground after the balloon had reached

man dropped like plummet, striking
