\ Royal Book Buyer.

Empress Catherine IL of Russia was 3
great reader and lover of books. Ono
of her services to letters in Russia wa.
the purchase of the libraries Of Voltaire
and Diderot. She was q warm friend
and admirer of these French philosc-
pliers, and their work Interested her be-
cause she was eager to learn new theo
ries Of politics and government. Vol
taire's library of about 1000 volumes is
now part of the Russian imperial Ii
brary in the Hermitage palace, and il
the hall devoted to it is Houdon's statue
of Voltaire.
The story of GATHERINGS purchase Of
Diderot's library is interesting. 1t is
creditable to her tact and her generosity.
Diderot named e15,000 as the price of
his library Catherine Ii offered him
e16,000 and named as condition of the
bargain that her purchase should remain
with Diderot until his death. Thus Did
erot, without leaving Paris, became
GATHERINGS librarian in his own library
AS her librarian he was given yearly
salary Of 81 900.
One year this salary was not paid.
Then Catherine wrote to her librarian
that she could not have him or her Ii
brary suffer through the negligence Of a
treasurer's clerk, and that she should
send MIN the sum that she had set aside
for the care and increase of her library
for 80 years. At the end Of that period
she would make new arrangements. A
check for $4,000 accompanied this let

refrained from giving currency to there

The Illinois Statesman Scores the Ad-
ministFauion.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-In an inter
view today Senator Cullom OF Illinois
expressed the opinion that congress, on
reassemb bling, would take up the Hawai-
ian question in a vigorous way. He
said there would be an early demand for
all the reports bearing on the question.
"I can hardly say" be continued.
what congress can do, as the
treaty has been withdrawn, but
there's nothing to prevent a general
expression OF opinion by congress, and
il in the meantime it should develop
that the queen has been restored to the
throne by the intervention OF the
United States, there is no telling what
mig,t be done. The country will not
tolerate the kingly airs assumed by the
present administration. In my opinion
its best course is to go into bankruptcy,
where, by its policy. it has forced so
many good men,"

The Administration Is Afraid to Tender
Them to Him.
WAsHINGsoN, Nov. 22.-Thurston, the
Hawaiian minister, this morning said
he had not received his passports from
the United States government yet, and
had no reason to expect them. There
is no diplomatic improperly, he said,
in q foreign minister making personal
statement in his own defense when he
is personally assailsd, ,,and he considered
that he and the members OF the provis-
ional government, as individuals, had
been personally assailed and their verac-
ity impugned.
Minister Thurston is not likely to
receive his passports, although 1t was
eaid at the state department this morn
ing there was abundant ground for such
action. We're it in any other country
or in this country under any other cir
cumstances, his passports would be
issued Immediately. 1t is claimed hie
letter is breach of diplomacy
and amply sufficient to warrant this
government in Immediately severing all
relations with the Hawaiian minister.
Such action would be taken but for the
reason that the American people might
not think it fair play; that the right OF
anv man to talk and give his side OF
controversy is always conceded,
and to force Thureton to leave
this country would be considered
by the people as disposltion not to al
low the other side hearing. The de-
partment chooses to consider the pub,
lication as statement by Thurston, in
dividuslly, as vitally interested party
in the outcome of the Hawaiian affair
and not an official statement OF the
Hawaiian minister.

CHOLERA IN A EOTTLE.

Bacteria OF the Genuine Asiatic Article at
the Army and Medical Museum.
In one of the cases at the Army and
Medical museum at Washington there
is a long row of small test tubes con-
tanning bacterial organisms of several
OF the most dangerous diseases known
to the medical profession. The exhi-
bition is a branch of that department
under the management of DIR. Gray,
who conducts experiments in the for
nation of the disease germs and specu-
lates on their terms of existence and
powers of resistance. Among the col
lection is tube labeled "Asiatic chol-
era," which attracts moro attention
than any of the others. The tube was
filed with gelatine on June 90, at the
same time being inoculated with chol-
era. In a little over q month the dis
case germs have developed and multi
piled to such an extent as to be plain
ly visible to the naked eye. In the
open end of the tube is loosely wadded
n piece of cotton, although the con-
tents may be seen through the glass
doors of the case. Manager Flynn, of
the museum, kindly take the tube out
