The report says: “The administrations named have di- rect or separate postal intercourse to a large extent with our country and consequently are more likely to agree to a change desired than the adminis- trations of inland countries that have to pay transportation charges to the seacoast to intermediary nations. “The English administration, par- ticularly, will probably assent to the proposed arrangement, for it has but recently decided to adopt the 2-cent rate on letters between the British islands and Canada, as well as other parts of the empire—the change being ordered to take effect on the 25th day of December next. “The department now, realizes noth- ing in the way of revenue from ocean letters, practically all the postage paid on them going to the steamship com- panies carrying the mails. If the rate should be reduced the same state of things would exist; “the department would still get nothing and lose noth- ing, and 'the steamship companies would suffer no hardships. The reduc- tion of rate would no doubt eventually, at least, give them as much compensa- tion In the way of postaze as they now get.” DR. BAZET HONORED. Elected Corresponding Mem .er of the College of Urology. PARIS, Oct. 17.—The Congress of urol- ogy has elected Dr. Louls Bazet of San Francisco a corresponding member.

These preparations are thought to be the result of the Fash- oda dispute with Great Britain. The papers here say that three Brit- ish ironclads are engaged in gun prac- tice off Bizarta, the French naval sta- tion in the Mediterranean. A sgemi-official note says the state- ments that French warships are being placed on a war footing and ordered to Brest are incorrect, and that undue importance is attached to the incident.

After Receiving the —egree of Doctor of Laws Mr. McKicley Is Given a Rousing Public Reception. Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Oct. 17.—This afternoon President McKinley, with college and | other dignitaries, marched through rain, mud and slush to Kent Hall, Uni- versity of Chicago, where, with all due ceremony, the President was invested in eap, gold and hood and had conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doc- tor of Laws. T After the ceremonies at the university the President was escorted through ‘Washington Park and up to the armory. Nearly the whole distance the streets were lined with people who stood in the cold, drizzling rain and cheered as the President’s close car- riage passed by. At the armory detachments of the Ilinois Naval Reserves, the First Illi- nois Infantry and the Fourth Regiment Infantry from Fort Sheridan were lined up with the policemen to assist in pre- serving order. Thousands had gather- ed there to greet the President. The| party entered the armory with the local reception committee and took places upon the platform. A tremendous shout went up from the great crowd in | the building when the President ap- peared. After Colonel Turner and John M. Harlem had greeted the President on| behalf of the reception committee the handshaking started. For an hour and ten minutes the President shook hands with the thousands who streamed by him. For each one he had a smile and a word of greeting. During the time a number of young women tried to kiss the President, but although there were several narrow escape none of the am- bitious women succeeded. A number of men and women kissed the President’s hand, however. ‘When the public reception had closed | the President and his party entered their carriages and were driven to the Auditorium Hotel, where they sat down to a dinner given in their honor by the Peace Jubilee reception committee. Later the President met a committee of Chicago men and promised them he would address the railway men’s mass- ! meeting at the First Regiment Armory on Thursday afternoon. Then the Presi- dent left for the McWilllams residence. He was somewhat fatigued and retired | soon after reaching the house. The strong wind and rainstorm_ that prevailed to-day played havoc with the Peace Jubilee arches and decorations 8ix of the arches, the First Regiment arch at Van Buren and Michigan ave- nue, the Dewey arch at Monroe and State, the Evans arch'at Clark and Adams streets, the Miles arch at State and Adams and the Maine arch at Jackson boulevard and Dearborn streets, were blown down and badly damaged. i Three persons were struck by pieces of wreckage and serrously injured. Hundreds of flags and streams of bunt- ing with which downtown buildings | were decorated were torn away by the wind. It is hardly probable that the arches will be replaced. Streetcar traf- fic was blocked for hours by the debris. The bicycle parade has been post- poned until Thursday night. i iy WILLIAM J. BRYAN UNABLE TO ATTEND CHICAGO, Oct. 17.—The following ! letter of declination has been received | from W. J. Bryan in response to an in- vitation to attend the peace jubilee: CAMP _CUBA LIBRE, JACKSON- VILLE, Fla., Oct. 17.—I regret that du- ties here will prevent an acceptance of | the Invitation extended by the citizens of | Chicago to be present at the National Peace*Jubllee to be held on the 18th and | 19th of the present month. Tae Ameri- | can people are pre-eminently a peace lov- | ing people, and it is fitting that they | should celebrate the termination of the present war, a_war concefved in an un-| selfish love for humanity—a war which has demonstrated anew the valor of our | soldiers and seamen; a war which is des- | tined—let us hope—to establish in the Or- fent, as well as in the West Indles, that | doctrine so sacred to the people of the | United States, namely, that governments | derive thelr just powers, not from the | armies or navies, but from the consent of | the governed.

Special Dispatch to The Call. DENVER, Oct. 17.—A special to the Rocky Mountain News from Florence, Colo., says: On Saturday William Lei- lin and his ten-year-old boy came to Florence from their home six miles After spend- ing the day about town they started back in their wagon. It was raining when they left town, but when out about five miles the rain turned to a blinding snowstorm. The father lost his way and wandered about among the scrub pine and in the hills all night. The wagon and team were abandoned and an effort was made to reach home on foot. As the night wore on the little fellow became cold and numb and froze to death in his father’s arms. The father man- aged to keep alive by walking until he could walk no more from the numbness of his limbs. Daylight broke and Leilin knew he was not far from home, but he was un- able to walk. At 9 o’clock his ecries were heard by his wife, who went to his rescue. Neighbors were summoned and the old gentleman was assisted te his home, but he was so near dead that he could not give an account of the night’s wanderings. The dead body of the boy told a pitiful story of a lack of sufficient clothing to keep him warm. The child wore knee pantaloons, and a small coat, but no underwear nor outer coat. His shoes and stockings were al- most completely worn out. FATED TO MEET DEATH ON STORMY ATLANTIC ‘WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.—Secretary Long to-day granted thirty days' leave of absence, with permission to leave the United States, to J. P. Fireng, chief clerk of the naval pay office, New York. There is a pathetic story behind this action. Last summer the wife and daughter of Mr. Fireng engaged pas- sage on the ill-fated French steamer La Bourgogne, which was wrecked off Newfoundland, but just before her de- parture from New York, fortunately concluded to make the ocean voyage by another line. After spending the summer in Europe they engaged passage for home on a French liner, but at the last moment changed their minds in faver of the English steamer Mohegan and were among the number who perished on the rocks off The Lizard Friday night. Mr. Fireng’s sad riission is to endeavor to recover the bodies of his wife and daughter and bring them to the United States for interment. ADVERTISEMENTS. LOVE'S FLOWER GARDEN.
