GERMAN ACTION AWAITED.

GERMAN ACTION AWAITED.
Berlin. March s.-The long visits Of
Emperor William to Chancellor Won
Hohenlohe. Baron o Bieberstein, the
minister of foreign affairs, and the
Austrian ambassador on Saturday
have given an impulse to speculation
in the press and in political circles on
the subject of the visit this week to
Berlin of Count Goluchowski the Aus
trian minister for foreign affairs, and
the future relations Of Italy to the
Dreibund, which are undoubtedly the
subject of Count Goluchowski's mis-
sion.
The papers generally counsel Italy
to make the utmost sacrifice to save
her honor and they hint that Germany
and Austria will support this policy.
The Boersen Courier. on the contrary,
contends that Italy's position would
not be weakened il she withdrew from
the African adventure. The Voer-
warts leads the democratic sections of
the press with a ferocious attack upon
Italy and Signor Crispi, clubbing the
latter the hero of the Banco Romano
scandals and the sleuth hound of Italy
who lacks the courage to face parlia-
ment.
These papers naturally welcome the
collapse of the D%reibund, but in face
OF Italy's difficulty at home and abroad
and the double attitude of Russia to-
ward Italy, it is not easy to predict the
outcome Of Count Goluchowiski's con.
ference here.
There are ever rumors now that
King Humbert will abdicate in favor
OF his son. The fear Of England's at
tftude since the Transvaal affair is al
so a factor in the situation.

riders on earth, but they cannot ride

cowboy who had vanquished every
pony he ever undertook to break
was induced to try an ostrich. After
an hours hard work he succeeded in
mounting the bird, which at first
tried to shake him off, then to get
away by running, but these tactics
of course had no effect upon the
cowboy. Then, in spite of all the
man could do, the ostrich succeeded
in getting its head around and seiz-
ing the man by one leg. He doubled
his feet under him, and the ostrich
reached over his wings and got a
good hold of his back, throwing him
heavily to the ground and tramping
on him. 1t took three of us to chase
the Infatuated ostrich away, and we
accomplished it barely in time to
save the mans life. l don't believe

Largest CYclopedia.

According to Copenhagen paper
the largest encyclopedia in the
world is the Buddhistic work,
'Tangym," which has been from
ancient times preserved in several Of
the larger Buddhist cloisters. In
comparison to this book of reference
the Encyclopedia Britannica" it,
self sinks into insignifcance, at least
as regards size. 1t consists of 225
volumes, each of which is two feet
high and six inches thick. The 225
volumes weigh 1900 pounds, Or II
pounds to a volume-rather heavy
reading even for a Buddhist priest.
The original edition seems to have
been limited, and comparatively few
copies still exist. One of these is
owned by the British government,
and another by the Russian. The
latest price noted is 1000 francs.

Sleeping Outdoors.

An interesting character was un-
earthed by the Partisan police the
other day. His name is Raphael
Benoit, and he enjoys an indepen-
dent income of 5000 frau2s "a year,
but finds sleeping out in the streets
of Paris the most agreeable way of
living there, He stated that he had
not slept under roof for ten years,
and that he kept his spare clothing
in handbag in a cloak room at one
of the rail way stations. He spent
his days either walking about the
city or reading at the National Ii
brary, while his evenings were
usually spent at the theater. AS
for sleeping, he found bench in a
park or under a bridge quite good
enough. The police did not know
what to make of him, and as there
was nothing against his character
he was released.

authorized expression Of national republican
faith from June Q, 1890, until the present date

individuals could change the tenor Of that
platform. or abate the activity Of It's binding
force. Every delegate to this convention was
elected as It's adherent and its advocate True
one OF It's most important paragraphs has been
subjected to such o divergence Of construction
as to make It's language unsatisfactory during
the intervening time, and dangerous II con-
tinued In the future, but OF the intention con-
talned within that language there has never
been doubt.
II Is the rghtful province OF this convention
to revise the party tenets and to announce
anew the party purpose The majority OF this
convention In the exercise OF such authority
has this day made official annunciatIon OF re-
publican law and gospel With much OF the
platform we agree believing that In many es-
sentlal particulars 1t compasses the needs OF
humanity, affirms the maintenance OF right and
proposes the just remedy for wrong. But it
declares one elemental principle not only in
direct contravention OF the expression OF party
faith in 1892. but in radical opposition TO our
solemn conviction.
We recognize that IN all matters OF mere
method 1t is but just and helpful that the mi-
nority shall yield 70 the will OF the majority,
lest we have chaos in parties and In govern
