have one feature in common-they serve
rs a means of bringing together persons
who do not otherwise often meet. In

of the United States. There is, however,
q good deal more OF nan mixed up

may be because or the fact that one Of

Senator Kyle has reached his home in
Aberdeen and with his family will take
up his residence there about the 9Th or
next month. Interviewed by the local
press, he said that republican senators
as we'll as representative manufacturers
were quite well content with the main
provisions Of the new trust tariff bill.
He cl.imed the law was not SO ad.
vantageous for the sugar refners as was
the Mckinley law and that had it not
been for Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania,
the trust would have been completely
knocked out. The beet sugar industry
he thought would be just able to live,
but could not extend its business. The
The senator thought at one time that he
conId save the bounty or a part OF it TO
the producers, but when he had voted
TO pass the main bill, he got left. An
other thing the senator thought they
had in hand to improve the senate bill
and that was power 10 put in a new con-
ference committee from the seuate but
just then the house yielded and
swallowed the senate bill. The senator
is inclined to think that free wool for
which he labored and voted, will ulti-
mately increase the Importance and
value of this industry in the United
States. His personal views on the ques-
tion is stated thus: II believe there is
not much to fear from free wool with d
corresponding reduction on manu-
featured goods, yet considering the fact
that the manufacturers contended for
strong protection it wa nothing more
than fair to the western former that the
duties on raw wool should be cut cor
respondingly. In accordance Herewith ]
prepared a sliding scale which cut the
manufacturers and wool growers alike
and which preserved a duty of 8 and6
cents per pound on woods Of the second
aud first classes respectively. This
amendment was supported by the Mem
tana and Wyoming senator's and by the
populist party"

Of human observances. The county fair

all fairs possess features In common

sumers could meet once o year and do
their buying, selling and trading fora
whole twelvemonth in the space of a
few days, leaving the remainder Of the
year for industrial operations, or, in
case the transactions of the fair had
been sufficiently profitable, for idleness

~ after this fair was established that il
wa q really great institution, and other
fairs sprang up In other places, and
merchants of various sorts came i'm time
TO spend the whole year at the fairs and
in travelling between them. This brought

Berlin, April THE greatest interest
is taken here in the exchange of courte-
sizes at Venice today between Emperor
William and King Humbert. The Won
Moltke, with the emperor on board, ar
rived off Venice this morning. The
emperor was greeted with hearty
cheers on all sides.
Upon the Won Moltkcs arrival in the
basin of St Mark, King IumbCrt and
his nephew the Duke of Abruzzi,
boarded the ship, where they were
cordially received by the German
emperor.
The king and emperor remained in
conversation about twenty minutes,
after which Humbert returned to the
palace. Shortly after William re-
turned the visit Of the king at the
palace.
In response to continued "vivas' the
emperor and king presented them
selves at the window of the ducal
palace and bowed acknowledgements.
The mectiug; is believed to have no
political significance beyond an avowal
of the cordial personal friendship eX-
listing between the royal houses of
Italy and Germany.
All arrangements are complete for
the approaching meeting between
Emperor William and Emperor Fran
els Joseph, at Vienna. After leaving
Vienna the emperor will 20 to COburg
to be present ut the wedding Of the
grand duke of HesSe and Princess
Victoria Melita, of Coburg- Edinburg.
At Coburg William will meet Queen
Victoria.
The idea current in some quarters that
these meetings of the allied emperors
have some bearing upon the possible
disarmament Of the armies of Europe
may be dismissed as unworthy of seri-
GUS consideration. This Is clearly dem
onstratcd by the fact that the next
years Austro- Hungarian military bud
get which was approved since the re-
turn of Francis Joseph from his visit
to William at Albania, shows an in
crease of 100000 florins.
Private kilograms from st. Peters
burg say that every effort Is being
made to induce the car to visit Ber-
lin; but these efforts so far have been
without success.
Emporer William has consented to
the erection of a statute in honor Of
Prince Bismarck Mt the west entrance
of the Reichstag and has expressed a
desire that the work be hurried for
ward so as to enable the prince to at
tend the unwilling.
