Movement For Small General As

Time Is Held experimentation That The Governor

days initiative petitions have been In

amendment which the people we're to
be asked to ratify provided for q
house CT representatives of 80 men,
bers and a senate Of 22, to replace the
present assembly OF 1873 representa-
lives and 33 senators.
SO far, only meager reports have
been received as to the success at.
tending the movement to secure vOtc

shown that Endorsement could hardly
be hoped for at the coming election.
It-was found, II was reported, that the
rural districts we're inclined to be
strongly opposed to the measure as
tending to deprive them Of the pre-
dominance In the legislature which
they have enjoyed for many years.
Added to this was the temperance
vote, quite a sizeable element.
The opposition which IL said TO
have been blighting In its effect was
that Of Governor Cox. While the gov

that the governor made efforts to In

After Visit to 81. Helena, TraVeIAr
Says Memorial to Emperor Is Sad
ly Neglected and Annual
f~.N Grants Begrvdged.

Paris.-A feeling OF strong dissatis
faction has been aroused here by tho
facts that have just been made pub
lie. as to the deplorable condition into
which Napoleon's last place and tomb
at st. Helena has fallen.
In volume entitled After the EN-.
peorors Death" the well-known histo-
rian, Albert Cahuet, prints a vivid de-
scription of these landmarks of French
history, which were acquired by the
government from England in 1858, for
$35,713, and vigorously combats the
movement now on foot to reduce, II
not cut off entirely, the annual grants
for their support.
"One would imagine he was visiting
a shooting shelter for sale" he
writes. "All the doors are open. In
the first room, where Napoleon died,
is small altar, painted blue, and op-
posite it is bust of the emperor. A
wooden balustrade marks the exact
spot where he drew his last breath
"All the other rooms are absolutely
empty, everything that could be re-
moved having been carried away long
ago by foreigners as souvenirs. One
experiences feeling of desolation and
poignant sadness. The emperor's house
only just remains standing on it's
old beams. Very soon the violent
winds with torrential rains will have
their way with it.
THE superficial repairs and the coat
or two of paint, and even the new wall
papers, put on in 1911, will not COM
pensate for the crumbling foundations
and ruined walls.
The present caretaker. who is at
least man of good intentions, wrote
to me recently:
Il am endeavoring to stay up the old
house to enable it to keep standing a
few years longer
"Napoleons tomb, in the Valley Of
Geraniums," continues NJ. Cahuet, lis
as sheltered as the Longwood house is
exposed, but the guardians continual
vigilance is necessary to prevent the
surrounding farmers from pasturing
their cattle in the valley, which is
the property of the French govern
ment. His efforts to have the tomb
respected keep him in constant con-
flict with other residents of the is
land.
The present keeper Of the domain
has to insist strongly every year in
his letters home on the necessity for
