During the past week Hon. John L. Webster of Omaha paid a visft to Des Molnes. His coming was unannounced and but few knew of his being here until after he had gone away.

Although the late statesman had retired from politics, the feeling prevalled here that his disappearance will contribute to strengthen the position of Colonial Secre- tary Chamberlain, which circumstance is not thought Iikely to promote friendship between the Lwo countries. The abllity, prudence and moderation of the former premier are frankly recognized, though some of his sarcastic utterances are re- called. It Is acknowledged that while he firmly upheld Great Britain's interests, at the same time he always strote to prevent a rupture with France, and it Is admitted that the Fashoda incident would have been far more dangerous had any other states- man been In power.
