interest or capital on the French
debt to the United States.
U. s. COMMISSION READY.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The allied debt commission is pre-
pared to negotiate the funding of the
French debt to the United States
whenever French representatives
reach here, Treasury officials declared
today. although, they said. no oncial
notification of the selection or
French mission for that purpose has
as yet been received by the Treasury
High Treasury officials heretofore
had indicated that funding negotla-
tons for transferring into longtime
obligations the demand notes OF the
different allies would be begun with
Great Britain. because the largest
amount is owed by that nation, and
then taken up in turn with the other
governments. However. officials de-
clared, funding negotiations could be
begun as well with France as with
Great Britain. or any other nation
which first indicated its willingness
to proceed. -
The opinion has been expressed by
officials that the result of the first
funding negotiations would form a
general model for the plan to be fol-
lowed with other foreign govern
ments.
The French war debt to this coun-
try on May Is amounted to $780,
S57.593 of principal and $4,000 100000
of accumulated interest, while Great
Britain's debt on the same date total
ed s4,l35.Sls.35S of principal and
SSH 900. 900 of interest
Indications were given recently by
the Treasury that the opening of
negotiations with Great Britain might
be expected almost at any time, but
so far no definite reply has been
forthcoming from the British govern
ment to the debt commissions noti-
tication that this government was
prepared to consider funding ar
rangements The British delay has
been ascribed to the presence of most
of the British financial experts at
Genoa

Of the Buffalo Courier and Enquirer.
last night established headquarters
at the McAlpin Hotel and issued a
statement concerning the rumored
candidacy of William r. Hearst for
the governorship.
Mr.. Hearst may not be candf-
date" the statement said. but he is
being forced into the situation by a
public sentiment which demands a
fighter and a guarantee that the gov
ernor which public sentiment elects
will do the things he is elected for"
Although Mr.. Corners resigned his
official connection with the demo-
cratic organization in 1910. he is
looked upon as one of the most influ-
entail democrats in this state. As
chairman of the state organization he
sponsored Mr.. Hearst's candidacy in
1906. Since then he has been an ar
dent friend of Mr.. Hearst, and his
present action is looked upon as the
nucleus of boom for Mr.. Hearst to
succeed Gov. Miller.

DEFEATED CABINET
BOWS TO COMMONS
Beaten by Three Votes, Brit.
ish Ministry Gives In, But
Stays in Office.
By the associate ed Press

bt the AssocluteG fress.
LONDON, May 1.-THE British cabi-
net has decided>to defer to the wishes
of the mouse Of commons and appoint
a committee to inquire into the educa-
tional program on which the government
was defeated by a narrow majority last
night, Austen Chamberlain, the govern
ment leader, announced in the house this
afternoon.
The government was defeated by a
vote of Isl to 14S on a motion for adj
journment, introduced during considera-
ton of the teachers approximation bill
designed to give effect to some of the
recommendations of the economy COM
mittee. headed by Sir Eric Geddes
Following the defeat of the govern
ment Austen Chamberlain, the govern
ment leader. Immediately declared the
house adjourned amid shouts of Re
sign :" Resign"
The question involved. namely, whether
teachers should contribute toward their
approximation fund. is comparatively
minor one. and would not necessitaIe the
resignation of the ministers unless the
premier, in view Of the difficult position
as result of the turn of events at the
Genoa conference. should think it ad-
visable to take that course
The cabinet met today to consider
the position created by the govern
ments defeat. Austen Chamberlain
government leader in the house OF
commons, presided. Defeat of the
government Is not expected by today's
newspapers to result in the resigna :
ton of the cabinet and an appeal to
the country. But papers which are
consistently against Mr.. Lloyd George
declare that he is now bound to see
the writing on the WALL" and say
that the elections, which seemed re-
mote. are now brought nearer.
The Morning Post says that if the
government pleases it can go forward
with the teachers bill on another day
or can restore the situation by drop
ping the bill, or even by parting with
H. A. J.. Fisher. as president of the
board Of education and throwing on
the house the responsibility for its
change in policy. On the other hand
the government can, If it chooses, find
sufficient excuse for resignation OF
dissolution, the Post adds.
The Daily News says: The gov
eminent will probably pooh-pooh the
political Importance of their defeat
but it's significance will certainly moi
be lost on the electorate. 1t is an
ominous signal of distress in the
coalition"

 Lee Pate, one of the few real old timers of the country, left for his home at Fort Yukon, on the Yukon River, yesterday morning after spending few months in the States undergoing medical and surgical treatment. Mir. Pate left the north last July for the Mayo Institute at Rochester, but was compelled to abandon his trip at Helena, Mon- tana, being too ill to proceed farth- CT. He was operated on by Helena surgeons, which proved successful, and he was enabled to return to the North much improved in health.
 During his trip Outside MT. Pate witnessed many things strange to him. Flying machines, improved el- ectrical devices, electric street cars. and all other adyancements which have been made in the past thirty five years, this being the first time he was Outside. Owing to his con- dition he was unable to travel about much but took advantage of his idle time before returning to the north
