eloquent address to the Republican

C0nstantinople, writing OF coral says that 1t is
found IN every sea from the Equator to the Polar
regions but 1t develops best in the tropical parts
OF the Pacinc, where the temperature of the
water never falls below 20 degrees C. The coral

known as corallum rubrum, or red coral and is
found In abundance in the Mediterranean princt-
pally on the coaS. OF Italy. II Is dark-red on the
Barbary coast, yellow on that OF Sardinia, and
rose on the Italian and Tunlsian coasts White
coral Is also met with on Barbary; It is ONLY a
variety OF the red. Most OF the coral boats are
Italian. Fishing Is Carried on In waters OF vary

Bisnsarck'S Setback.


The exact state Of political affairs in Germany
Is hardly understood here, except by a few, and
there has been little or no reference made to the
inside facts OF the recent changes In Official circles
Bismarck was never nearer resigning. so the Cos
sips say, tn IN during the past few weeks. Two
things OF recent happening have made the choleric
Chancellor feel that he Was being crowded TO the
rear oy the new emperor and The young school OF
politicians who have come into power about him.
Inc nrst was The trip OF Wilhelm 10 Russia. This
was considered entirely too nasty and imprudent
a step for the kaiser 10 TAX but with the tmpul-
slvenesS OF youth he took IL against the advice OF
the old prince. Then Won MOlLke was asked to re-
sign his Held marshash1p. Or course he was sup
posed TO have LETT the OI1ice voluntarily, but as
matter OF fact he was requested To step down and
out. Now, Won MOtke was Bismarcks right
bower In the game OF running the empire under
the OLD Wilhelm, and the chancellOr's rage at the
lndignity TO the aged Jacticlan Is said 10 have

CAPT. Hoxn SHOULD HAVE FAD CHARGE

Warrington Correspondents Baltimore Sun
The developments OF faulty work in the big
water tunnel grow worse. The opinion OF experts
was expressed to-day to the effect that It may be
necessary to do the whole work practically over
from the stage where it was left by Capt. Hoxie.
It Is thought TO be most Inappropriate that the
Investigation now going on is under the direction
OF the very engineer officer invested with the
superintendent OF the work, and who did not
know there was anything wrong about 1t until the
newspapers found 1t out for him. IL Is held the

pointed commission, and II the War department

neers while naturally averse at the present TO be
quoted personally, are not backward in expressing
the opinion that Major Lydecker Is much TO blame
Tor neglecting to provide better and more thorough
inspection OF the work as 1t progressed. "The
initiai mistake, one OF the officers stated "was
the removol OF Capt. Hoxie from the supervision
OF Tue WORK. Hoxie designed the tunnel, and
should have been retained In charge until its CON-
pleIion. He would have had his reputation at
stake, ana would therefore have been interested
10 securing good work mans ship Besides, as the
corrected any errors In his plans. am sure, had
ne remained here, the tunnel would not now be q

constantly on the ground overlooking the work.

fraud TO have escaped his notice. think as rule
