South American Countries Eager
to Be Included in ltinora
Representative Business Men of the United
States I" Make an Effort to Increase
Our Export Trade -Entcrprisc
In High Favor.

1t was announced n month ngo that
the National Association of Manufac.
turers had undertaken the organiza-
tion OF party OF representative bust
ness men for the purpose OF visiting
South America thissummer An cxtraor-
binary amount OF interest in the pro-
ject has been manifested throughout
the country. In South America the pro-
jected visit has aroused the interest OF
those countries not concerned in the
tour to such an extent that efforts have
been made to secure changes in the
itinerary or an extension of the trip so
as to include several countries not en-
braced in the present plans. There has
been some talk of crossing the Andes to
Chilli from the province of Mendoza, in
Argentina, and now the Peruvian gov
eminent is anxious to have the party in
clude Peru in it's tour.
President Theodore c. Search, of the
National Association of Manufacturers,
said: "While it will be impossible for
our party to extend it's tour and accept
this invitation of the Peruvian govern
ment, still this expression of earnest
welcome is very interesting rs signify
Ing the interest with which this trip
is viewed in South America, and the
Importance which is attached to it
there. The interest with which this
trip is regarded by business men in
every section of the United States is
really remarkable, and it shows how
eager our people are to enlarge their

THE PHILOSOPHERS SONG.

What's the voice that lifts my spirit to the
mountain peaks of song
But diaphragm vibrating. making air
waves short and long?
What's the color that seems bursting from
the crimson roses curves?
Ether's trillion viewless ripples breaking
on the shore of nerves.
What's the kiss of love, or touches cooling
to the brow of pain,
But phosphorcscent glimmer In the dim
cells of the brain?
What's the smile that fills me- thrills me
with excess Of sweet delight
But a cellular contraction of red muscles
ROBBED in white?
Could fly to yonder towers shining in the
western sky,
Yonder beds of snow and roses, on their
golden down to lie,
oh. the color would he vanished where the
mocking sunshine kissed,
And the hills of rose and amber changed
into q shroud of mist!
Causes strike with viewless fingers thro'
the substance OF my frame,
Making there effects resembling not the
causes whence they came.
All the world is not without me with its
ever-changirg tone
When its diapasons tremble, rnusic's in the
mind alone.
o illusions! o idolal whence our dearest
pleasures spring.
Ger the gulf that lies beyond you, Fancy
droops her wearied wing.

Czar or Russia Decorates Prince Henry

The excitement which prevailed
throughout The south German states
over the incident at the banquet of the
Beutsche Nerein in Moscow, upon the
occasion of the cars coronation, when
the president of the banquet alluded to
the German princes as members of the
suite of Prince Henry of Prussia, was
subsiding rapidly, but it has now re-
of the order of the Red Eagle by the em-
pcror upon The chairman whose words
evoked protest from Prince Ludwig, OF
Bavaria, who resented the presidents
words by Indignantly declaring that the
princes alluded to were neither menu
bers of Prince Henly's suite nor vas
sails of the German empire. The Ba-
varian press in commenting upon the
act of the emperor in decorating the
president of the banquet, interpret it
as new act OF provocation on the part
of Prussia, although it is Il clearly Gus
tomary action toward an official receiv-
ing o representative of the kaiser, in
which capacity Prince Henry went to
Moscow. Prince Luitpold, regent Of
Bavaria, has sought to hush up the up
roar caused by the words of the prcsi-
dent of She banquet and the resentful
speech Of his son and the heiS to the
Bavarian throne, Prince Ludwig, but
popular feeling has been too strong as
was shown in the enthusiastic demon
stration at the closing of the session of
the Bavarian landtag in Munich when
Prince Won Walther thanked the royal
house for watching and jealousy pre-
serving the independence of Bavaria
and her guaranteed treaties. This ex-
preston was received with cheers which
were prolonged many minutes. In adj
dition to this, the patriotic associations
in all parts of south Germany are
sending congratulatory messages and
addresses to Prince Ludwig in great
profusion

JAPAN OUR WARM FRIEND.
Interview with Hoshi Toru, tho Ncwl
Amounted Ministc CIR from That Cnnntrr

Interview with noshi Toru, tho Newly
Appointed Minister from That Country.
ltoshi Toru, the newly appointed
mininter from Japan to the United
States passed through Omaha, Neb., the
other day on his way east. In an inter-
view on political and economic ques-
tions he said
Il am no stranger in America, having
been here before on two occasions.
japan has made wonderful progress in
all lines of manufactured products but
do not think that the country can be
called rival of the United States. Our
factories are still in their infancy and
1t will be many years before we can
really be said to be competitors of the
United States. We have committees
how en- route to this country to inspect
your electrical progress. You ore not
to believe from this that we are wholly
deficient in this regard in our country,
but we are always looking for an i'm
prorement in everything that we have.
Gas regards the late war, do not be-
lieve that the war feeling has entirely
died out; what you would call patriot
ism is still manifest throughout the
country.
"As regards Corea, it is true that
both Russia and Japan have watchful
eye over it but it is an independent
country. The relations between Japan
and Russia are most friendly.
America, and by America mean the
United States, has always had warm
place in the hearts of the japanese and
we have for everything pertaining to
the United States IL most warm and en-
thusiasttc feeling. There is no danger
in the world of japan becoming for
midable foe to Your industries"

"crack" reporter had an ashen color
quite different from his usual ruddy
hue, the result of the active life he led.
He went up to the EDITORS desk and
made his report. Evidently his news
was shot stuff" for the editor looked
up eagerly, asking: do you know the
whole story? Did anyone else get 1t?
Have we her picture?"
The crack reporter hesitated in o
strange manner and said: Look here,
Brown, can't we Let the story slide2 No
one else has 1t. Don't print her pic
ture."
Brown glanced sharply at his aide
with those keen eyes of his. "Non-
sensel" he said; make good story
of it,"
Grayson was an unconscionable time
writing the story, and, in the end, he
made barely a quarter Of column out
of it. When it was finished he waited
until he saw the editor getting into
his overcoat to go home.
Brown and he We're old friends. To-
gether they had struggled for foot
hold in the newspaper world, on the
staff of the Moon. And together they
had left it after Graysons famous fight
over his bill. He had been ordered to
Jamestown at the time of the floods,
and of course had gone at moments
notice to brave dangers in pursuit of
news for his paper. Nights in the open
i air, his coat rolled up for pillow, on
damp ground or in freight cars, once in
alimekiln, once in the branches of tree,
he had ruined the suit which was new
the day of his departure. When he
made out his bill for that eventful as
signment, he added the cost Of the suit.
But the paper in whose service he had
faithfully done and dared, whose graphic
accounts had been his work, cut out the
$50. Then he and his friend left.
So tonight he waited for Brown with
reasonable surety. The two men walked
up Broadway to their favorite restau-
rant, for while in silence.
You didn't remember Miss TAYLOR
when mentioned her just now, did
you. Frank?" Grayson said, at length.

The Duo d'Orlcans' Scheme to Test Popu-
lar Feeling In France.
Due d'Orleans scheme to test pop
ular feeling in France towards the res
toration of the monarchy has received
a large accession Of adherents since
the first announcement. The French
papers, which assert that the dues
advisers mediate coup d'etat based
on bureaucratic and army corruption,
are in the wrong. Chief among the
dues supporters are NM. d'Hausson-
vile, De Broglie and buffet. They
are no friends of violent state sur
prise. What is proposed as first step
is that royalist deputy shall resign his
seat, for which Due d'Orleans shall
be brought forward as candidate.
The government can and will declare
the election under ban of the law to be
void. But the royalists will continue
the same tactics, fighting constituency
after constituency with the dues name,
and thus, in some sort, obtain form Of
plebescite. The cost of an election
campaign, where much will depend on
the money distributed, will be enor-

Two teams were being loaded with
the mason's debris that had so long OBJ

wagons We're loaded the teams started
east and turned into Dearborn avenue,
the boss going one way and the teams
the other. 1t was nearly six o'clock
and the dumping grounds were Mt q

The moment the boss was out of
sight the teams returned. The re-
spective drivers dumped the loads on
the heap from which they had been
taken few moments before and then
drove off with their empty wagons.
