Bands Under Youthful Oilcors in I West Africa May Cause thel'.low-Up at Any itioment-The Situation Grow* ing More Critical -Stead Says a Revolu- tion Is in Progress in France -Therein Lies Danger -Cable News. London, Feb. 21. --Tho danger of leav- ing explosives about in the shape of armed bands roaming in the disputed sphere under youthful officers has been !amply illunstrated in West Africa, where the interiningling of French nod British i troops has already caused incidents which threaten the most grave complications. Happily, the positive instructions of both Governments have thus far been obeyed and an actual collision has been avbided, 1 But the fuse is alight, and unless France withdraws from her provocative attitude, or Great Britain continues the graceful concession policy she has hitherto observed towards the French claims, an explosion is bound to follow. •Next week the supplementary estimate of #:16O,000 for the West Afrieen expenses will be -presented, to the House of Com - mous, and an interesting debate may bo expeetod. Probably the most vital point is not so much the possession of territory as freedom of conzzueree, Another 36 British officers and non comznissloned officers group sailed today for West Africa, nccoznee:dee by immense gnanti- ties of war munitions. As even the un- alarxnist Statist points out, the troubles augment. It says: "Resides Indla, we have on hand the campaign of the Nile, fighting in \Vega Africa, Uganda, Zululand and Charter - land, numerous dispute, with France, the relations between tho United States and Carzacle are far from satisfactory, aria there aro critical situations both in the far East and the hoar West. Added to this, the state of France, the struggles of the nationalists of Austro-Hungary, the unrest in the Balkalzs, the apparent breaking up at the concert and the un- certainty as to how the powers will group anew, ,the army of Japan, the Cuban im- broglio, and the state of South Africa, ana it must be admitted that the general. outlook is not reassuring." Growing eaore Crltioal- London, Feb. 21. --The press continues its warning that the situatiou in Wast Africa, between France and Great Bri- tain, is growing more critical. It is im- possible to abandon the British flag with- out loss 02 honor, it is said, According to the Daily Chronicle, France and Germany aro casting covetous eyes upon Liberia and aro contemplating its annexation. It is widely accepted that Mr. Joseph. Chamberlain, the ,elecrotary of State for the Colonies, is endeavoring to put back- bone into the Marquis of Salisbury's dealings with Fiauce, Mr, Chamberlain persisting in viewing the matter purely from the point of view of the Colonial Office, and urging above all things the maintenance of Groat Britain's interest as a colonizing power. Sir Thomas Pemyss Reid, editor of the Speaker, is responsible for the statement that Mr. Chamberlain would have pushed his pro -British policy in Africa to the risk of war, and the Marquis of Salis- bury's attitude in opposing it, therefore, loads some countenance to the gossip that the Queen bas informed the Marquis of Salisbury that sho will never again sign a deolaration of war. A 'revolution in France. London, Feb. 21.-A striking article in the Westminster Gazette, by William T. Stead, says: "The news from the Niger is only serious because of the news from France. The net effect of the news from Paris to -day is that Franco is once more in full- revolution. The third republic, although nominally still in situ, no longer exists. The long-expeoted upset has arrived at last, and has arrived al- most to the very day, exactly fifty years after the revolution of 1848. The coup d'etat of General Boisdeffre differs from the coup d'etat of Napoleon IIT. only in the degree of brutality of its accessories. When the chief of the French general staff, the nerve centre of the grey matter of the brain which directs, controls and governs the whole armed force of France, enters into as court of law to proclaim to a jury that unless they return a verdict to bis liking, 'the chiefs who are at the bead of the army, and who organize na- tional defence, are ready to leave their task to others,' there is no longer any Republic Government in France." Sir Charles Dilke's Opinion. London, Feb. 21. -Sir Clarke Dilke, M.P., the well-known authority on for- eign affairs, whose question in the House of Commons Friday night elicited in- formation from Colonial Secretary Cham- berlain regarding the dangerous situation in West Africa, said in an interview that he thought the other powers would not interest themselves in the Anglo- French dispute for the reason that the West African question was only of vital interest to I+ingland and France. The state of affairs in West Africa, he added, was what he had always antici- pated might be reached in Newfoundland at any moment. He had considered the Newfoundland question tbo only dangerous one between France ancl England, because of the ever-present risk ,of conflict on a spot which would appear to engage na- tional honor. Now there was imminent risk of the same thing all over West Africa: Things Look .Daugeroti.s.

The church was crowded, among the attendtints being many women from neighboring States, representing the State Unions. A. great number of floral tributes bad been received tied these together with palms were used as decorations in the church. Such names as Misses Helen Gould, Susan B. Anthony, Rov. Anna Shaw and many of the W.C,7.',U.'s prom- inent world representatives were written ou the cards attached to the floral gifts. In pursuance of a cablegram sentby Lady Henry Somerset, Miss Katherine L. Stev- enson, the correspouding secretary of the national organization at Chicago, a bunch of white roses was placed over the heart of the dead temperance reformer. A Simple Service. Miss Willard's request that her funeral service be simple was carried out. Por- tions of the Scripture which Miss Willard loved most were read and her favorite hymns were sung, and then the Methodist Episcopal funeral service was read. Rev. E. S. Tipple, pastor of St. James' M. E. Church, was the officiating clergyman. He was assisted by Bishop John P. _New- man and others. The presidents of the State organizations of which Miss Willard was the bead were the honorary pall- bearers. Floral Tributes From Toronto.

Feb, 2L -During the past few days evidences have been accumulat- ing that the Grand Trunk Railway is actively seeking an entrance into Toledo and the bituminous coal fields of Ohio. Thus far transactions on the part of the :.elle=ay company appear to have been coazductcd with the utmost secretly, and very little of a deflniteoharacteris known beyond the fact that just beyond the City limits certain farmershave signed con- tracts conveying to the Grand Trunk people the right of way through their property. It is rumored now that the company has secured an option on a large tract- of land inside the city limits, to be used for freight yards and other terminal purposes. Tao location of this ground is also being kevt a secret, although it Is thought to be in the vicinity of the prop. erty of the Central Terminal ,Association, in the northern partof the city. It is gen- erally understood that the Toronto branch of the Grand Trunk will be vezy. nearly a straight cut to Detroit, where it will connect with the main line. Thebuildtng of a Toledo line will give the Grand Trunk direct access to the coal fields of Ohio, a feature which the company seems to have had in view for a number of years past.
