COL. SHELLY

Col Rt. Hon. John Edward See1y, former British secretary of war and later staff officer in France, was born forty-eight years ago today, May 31, 1868, the youngest son of Sir Charles See1y, of Brooke House, Isle of Wight Col. SeeIy was educat- ed for the lgea1. profession, and be- gan his military career in South Afri- ca, where he served with the Imperial Yeomanry, winning the D. s. O., and the Queens medal. In 91O0 he en- tered Parliament from the Isle of Wight, and in 1908 he was made un- der secretary for the colonies. Later he entered the Asquith cabinet as minister for war, but resigned as a result of the Ulster trouble. Col. See1y was the co-signer with Field Marshal Sir John French and General Sir John Ewart of the assurance to Brig.-Gen. Cough that the troops in Ireland would not be used to suppress the Ulster opposition to home rule. The publication of this letter brought down upon the War Secretary a storm of disapproval, and his resignation Immediately followed. Col. Seeley was among the first to offer his services at the outbreak of the war, and he was not slow in demonstrating that he was a much better soldier than po1i- tician. In drafting the offending document which brought about his downfall Col SeeIey had the assist ance of Viscount Morley, then lord president of the council.

THE C0NQUEROR
 OF MEXICO

Next Monday will mark the semi centenary of the death of Gen. Win field Scott, the conqueror of Mexico in 1848. Scott was the commander-in- chief of the United States army from 1841 until 1861, when age and mfr mites necessitated his retirement Scott's campaign in Mexico was great military triumph. Landing at Vera Cruz with 13,0O0 men, he soon conquered that city and advanced into the interior. The first battle was fought at Cerro Gordo, a difficult mountain pass. The Mexicans were defeated and the victorious army pro ceeded through Ja1apa. to the fortified city of Pueb1ay place of 8O.0OO in habitans. After a. rest there the in vaders pushed on to the City of Mexi- co, where Santa Anna opposed Scott with a large army, estimated at 30,OO0 men In single day this force was broken up, although the Americans were outnumbered three to one. The Mexicans rallied at Chapu1tepec and another desperate battle was fought. Santa Ana and his troops then fled, and Scott entered the capital in tri- unph. The American victory was not gained without considerable loss, how ever, as HOO Americans were killed or wounded at .Churubusco and 800 at Chapultepec, while many others were slain in the minor enga gements of the march.

ther intercourse with him except in writing. He then wrote a very insult ing letter to Secretary Smith and the United States demanded his recall.
 Inso1ence was also responsible for the dismissal of M. Poussin the French minister to the United States, in 1S49. Six years later Minister Champion, representing Great Britain, got into trouble by. recruiting soldiers to serve in the Crimean war, and was sent home.
 The indiscretion of Baron Lionel Sackvi11e- West, which in 1888 ended his career as British minister to the United States, caused a great deal of discussion. In reply to a letter from a Californian asking his advice as to how he should vote in the presiden- tiaI election, Lord Sackvi1le- West ad- vised his correspondent to cast his bal lot for the Democratic party. Presi- dent Cleveland asked that the Minis ter be recalled, and when the British government failed to act promptly Lord Sackville-West was given his passports. The affair was largely used in campaign arguments.
 Shortly before the outbreak of the Spanish American war the Spanish minister to the United States, Senor Dupuy de Lonne, wrote a letter to 8 tfriend in Cuba in which he referred in most disrespectfu1 terms to Presi- dent Mckinley, whereupon he was dis missed.
 With the exception of the dismissal tof a Nicaraguan charge d'affaires by President Taft, there were no more in cidentS of this kind until after the out break of the European war. The Fur kish minister to the United States was the first to offend. Rustem Bey's open criticisms of the United States soon made him persona non grata but in October, 1914, he escaped dis missal by leaving America on a 'tleave of absence which has been extended indefinitely.

COMMISSION WON
Bridge Case Lost by Topeka Building
Concern.

The Topeka Bridge & Iron company
lost its case against the county com
missioners and w. c. Noller and w. 1.
Roark in the second division of the
district court this morning. The court
held that the two bridges for which
contracts wa let to NolIer & Roark
are steel and concrete bridges. not
steel bridges, and that the contracts
shall stand
This action was the outgrowth
the bridge letting conducted by the
county commissioners February IA.
The contracts for bridges across North
Fork and Butcher creek were let to
Noller &, Roark with the Topeka
Bridge & Iron company bidding. They
were let on plans prepared by Walter
Arnold. county engineer.
There is a statute which requires
that bridges built by counties shall be
of reinforced concrete construction
unless the cost is more than thirty
per cent greater than the cost of d
steel bridge of the same size.
The bridge company brought suit
on the ground that the two bridges
planned by Arnold were steel bridges
and not concrete bridges and that
therefore the contracts were invalid.
the statute mentioned above having
been violated. The court holds that
the plans drawn BY Mr.. Arnold and
adopted by the commissioners for
North Fork and Butcher creek call
for a steel and concrete bridge and
not simply q steel bridge. Under this
decision the county commissioners
may proceed with the construction of
the two bridges.
