anxiety I'm the result which characterized the hrst

Later Details

The United Press correspondent sends from
Beirut, Syria, an account Of the sinking OF
the British war ship Victoria by the war ship
CamperdOwn off Trip0ti.
Admiral Tyron. he says, visited Beirut with
the squadron Of sixteen vessels, and he and
his officers were entertained by the Anglo
American residents.
At 10 o'clock on the day of the tragedy the
feet sailed away to the manOuVres off Tri-
poll. The weather was sunny. The sea was
as smooth mirror. The vessels had been
drawn up in double line. Abreast they were
about six cable lengths apart. The bow OF
each vessel was two cable lengths from the
stern of the vessel ahead.
At about 3 o'clock the feet was thus ap-
preaching Tripoli. Admiral Tyron signalled
the order for single file. At tho time when
the order was given the Victoria and Camp
erdown were almost exactly abreast. Both
turned slowly inward with a sweeping move
ment and their bows converged. The Vic
toia was slightly ahead as they approached.
The Camperdown pushed heavily upon her
and rarnmed her on the starboard side near
the bow. She tore with tremendous force
into the Victoria's hull and drove the ram
with crash right through the -fIctorias
middle.
1t was Just $50 O'Clock when. with the
great rip in her hull, the Victoria began TO
founder Admiral Tryon tried at first to run
her ashore, but the distance, nearly five
miles, was too great.
The great vessel turned over broadside,
End eight minutes after she was struck went
down. Rigid discipline was maintained in
the few minutes between tho collision and
the catastrophe. The invaiids and prisoners
were brought on deck, and provision was
made hastily for their safety in case of the
worst The crew remained at their posts.
When FIVE minutes We're up Admiral Tryon
apparently realized that his vessel was
doomed beyond all hope of succor. he then
gave the order: Let every mar save him
SELF
Many OF the men rushed from their posts
to the vessels side and jumped into the sea.
Others were hurrying from below to follow
them when the end caUle. The bow disap-
peared gradually ut first. then rapidly
plunged so that the hull stood almost per
psnCicularly water. paused Elotioniess

The most destructive and death dealing
cyclone that ever visited eastern Kansas
passed through Williamstown and the sur

evenings ago.
It travelled southeast and took in Il scope
of country half a mile wide and about six
miles long. Not house, barn tree was

furnishings Germany is excellent as long as
it confines itself within certain proper limi-
tations. 1t is successful in reproductions of
medieval designs and modern applications
OF them. It fails absolutely when it attempts
the styles of other countries. In one field of
decorative art strange to say, it equals, if it
doesn't surpass. France, that of the
manufacture of fine china. I do not
think that the Sevres exhibit equals either in
variety or beauty the display of the royal
manufactures of Dresden or Berlin. The art
of the siiversmith seems to have made no
advance in either country within the last
twenty years, and-bOth are just now the VIC
tins Of the Louis Quinze mania. It is almost
needless to say that in the manufacture of
tapestries France still remains without a
rival.
In Machinery Hall the American exhibit
dwarfs those of other Nations, not only by
reason of its dimensions, but more especially
by the novelty of the designs the higher de-
velOpnent Of the inventive faculty, and.
might almost say, the elegance of its execu-
ton. An American printing press or loom,
for instance, is thing Of beauty and it is a
pleasure to see it work. A German press is
eminently respectable and businesslike-lOOk-
ing, but it is not attractive. A French print
ing press, on the other hand, is decidedly
ugly; it snorts and puffs and heaves great
signs while at work, and somehow or other
you leave it with the impression that its pom
derous parts may refuse at any moment to
perform their proper functions and ''strike."
And yet France has the most interesting as
we'll as valuable exhibit of books in the Fair.
In the art of fine printing, as far as results
are concerned. France still leads the world.

rtages, harnesses, saddles and bicycles, be-
sides models of packet boats, etc.
The first groups in the French section of
the Manufacturers Building are given up to
chemical and pharmaceutical products, per-
fumery and painting materials, Of which
there are siXty-one exhibits, and the next
group comprises paper and stationery and
wall papers, with twenty-five exhibits. The
three groups that follow are those of furni-
ture and artistic decorations, which COM
prise tapestries, bronzes, embroidery hang

There are fffty-fve exhibits. These are fol-
lowed by three groups Of mosaics, glass and
ceramics. and next come two groups ofmetal
work embracing bronze statuettes, clocks,
lamps and similar articles. Gold and silver
ware, jewelry and watches comprise the next
three groups of fifty-five exhibits. These
cover imitation diamonds. false pea-ls and

hibits, in which silk necessarily takes the

DUKE GCENTHER, OF CHARACTERISTICS.
The official titles of this imperial represen.
tative are Ernst Guenther, Duke of Schles-
wig Holstein, Heir in Norway Che belongs to
the first branch of the first line Of the House
ct Holstein, descended from Christian l.,
King OF Denmark, Norway and Sweden in the
Fifteenth Century,, Count of Stornarn and
the Ditmarshce, also of Oldenburg. He ID
the only brother Of the Empress of Germany.
Just before he sails for America he will cele-
brate his thirtieth birthday.
The Duke is Colonel of the Schleswig-Hol
stein Hussars, and, though too young to
have achieved renown in war, he dotes on
the military. He is not attracted by politics.
and court life has few charms for him. But
he is one of the finest horsemen Of Germany,
owns fine stud, is foud of the turf and fire.
quents the Union Club, the swell jockey club
of Central Europe. He was close friend OF
the late Archduke Victor Moritz Carl Franz
Won Ratibar, who was President of the club.
He has large estates, and as the brother-in-
law of powerful monarch ranks high il the
nobility of the Empire, yet he puts on no
naughty airs. Rather, he is noted for SIM
plicity in manners and for his democratic
tastes. He is far from being effeminate, hay
ing a robust physique, developed by athletic
training at college and army discipline. He
seems to enjoy what some would call the
hardships of q soldiers life, and loves OUT
door sports.

Sketch of His Life.

Leland Stanford was born in Albany
County, n. Y. March eth 1924. After receiving
an academical education he studied law In
Albany, and on the completion of q three
years course of study he was admitted to
practice by the Supreme Court OF the State
or New York. He removed to Port Washing
ton, Wis, where he practiced law for four
years.
After the destruction OF his law library and
other property by fire in the spring OF 1857
he went to California and associated himself
In business with his brothers, three of whom
had preceded him to the Pacific coast. He
was first in business at Michigan Bluffs, and
in 1856 removed from there to Sacramento to
engage in mercantile pursuits on an extern
sive scale.
He was one of the earliest members OF tho
Republican Party. and was its candidate for
Governor of California in the campaign or
1859 the other two candidates being Latham,
Democrat, who was elected, and Curry, anti
Lecompton Democrat. He was delegate to
the National Republican Convention at Chi
cagO in 1860.
In the contest for Governor in 1861 he was
successful over Mcconnell, Democrat and
CONFESS, Union Democrat, being elected ny
very large majority. He was one OF the
original incorpOratOrs OF the Overland Rail-
road Company, and as President Of the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad Company superintended
its construction.
Through the energy Of himself and asso-
ciates the remarkable feat was performed OF
building $50 miles of 1t In 293 days, which Is
unparalleled in railroad construction.
His act of founding university and en-
downing it with millions is proof Of the large
heartedness of the man. He was large In
every espect-physically, mentally and
benevolently California has never had
citizen of more public spirit and of whom she
could be more justly proud.
His favorite amusement in past years was
the cultivation of trotting horses. He bred
the famous Sunol, now the property Of Robert
Bonner, and Arion, for the latter of which
MIR. Malcolm Forbes. of Boston paid $50, 600.

A GREAT CONTEST FOR SUPREMACY.

The great contest for supremacy at the
Fair, according to a New York Tribune cor
respondent, is between Germany and France.
The display Of the former impresses you by
its splendor, its variety and bulk that of the
latter by constant evidences of taste and re-
finement. Germany is artistic sometimes it
never is ''chic." France attracts, fascinates,
but it lacks solidity and repose. The French
bronzes, for instance-and have in mind
now only those which you might call purely
commercial-have almost always IN artistic
value that is to say, they seem TO be the
product of the studio. German bronzes re-
mind you of the workshop, the factory. The
renaissance of France is full of beauty. grace
and light shat of Germany is too frequently
dull, heavy and unimaginative. In interior

occupies the gallery OF the Manufacturers

eighty exhibits. They comprise tables and
pamphlets, a collection of the best authors, )"
specimens of print, works Of the Catholic
library, specimens of scientific engrayings,

unCcr the department Of Liberal Arts, re-
coiTes considerable space, and civil engineer
ing, public works, and constructive architec-
ture are illustrated by thirty-two exhibits IN
the gallery of the transportation Building.
Government and law and political and So

Liberal Arts. The exhibits are entirely OF
books and documents, with occasional dia-
grams and models. The exhibits number
1T and are q most important showing.
IN the Electricity Building there Is q small
group of French electrical instruments.
This completes an outline of the plan and
scope of the exhibit OF France. Besides this,
there is tho building of the French Govern
ment, which constitutes the contribution to
the architecture of the Exposition. but the
contents of the building do not come under
the head of grouped exhibits.
