Not IMPRESSED.

President Kruger of the Transvaal is a
man not easily impressed by rank, title
or worldly splendor of any kind, and not
in the least ashamed of his own plain ORR
gin and rough upbringng. says the
Youths Companion. Sir James Sive-
wright, upon whom once devolVed the duty
of taking an important and rather pomp-
Gus English duke to call upon the presi-
dent, told an American about the CONVEX
sation which ensued. 1t was, of course,
carried on through an interpreter and
ran about like this
Duke-Tell the president that am the
Duke of -, and have come to pay my
respects TO him.
Kruger gave a grunt, signifying well
come.

that 1 am a member of the English par

Kruger gives another grunt. and puffs
his pipe.
Duke (after a still longer pause)-And
you might tell him that l am-er-a men,
Der of the House of Lords-a lord-you

Kruger puffs as before, and mods his
head, with another grunt.
Duke latter a still more awkward pause
during which his grace appears TO have
entertained doubts as to whether he had
as yet been sufficiently identi1ed)-Er-it
might interest the president to know that

Kruger-Eh! What's that--a viceroy?
Duke-Oh. a viceroy-that's a sort of a
king, you know.
Kruger continued putting In silence for
some moments. obviously weary OF this
form of conversation. Then. turning 70 tho
interpreter, he said, grufily: Tell the
Englishman that / was a cattle herder."

The Armor Plnte Muddie.

There are several battleships in process
of construction. Some of them are about
ready for their armor plate, which is to
be furnished by the government. Unless
the plates are forthcoming before a great
while, work upon the ships will necessarily
have to be stopped. If it is stopped, 1t will
not be the fault of the contractors, and
the government will be liable to them for
heavy penalties for delaying the construc-
ton. The government exacts penalties
from contractors when such con-
struction is delayed by their faults or
INSTALLATIONS. hence, in all justice. it
would have to pay penalties for delays
| caused by it's own failure to live up to the
contracts
Congress fixed the maximum price which
the government might pay for armor of
certain quality, and directed that bids
within that limit should be invited. No
bid was received from any company hav-
ing an armor-making plant A bid was
received from a company which had no
plant, the offer being conditioned upon
giving the bidder time to erect a plant,
and entering into a contract with it for
armor during twenty years to come. The
companies which have armor- making
plants declared that the price limit fixed
by congress was so low that they could
not produce plate of the quality desired
for the amount named, or anything like
it, The government therefore, Is left
without armor for its new ships 1t might
build plant of its own. But that would
require probably two years time, and
meanwhile the unfinished ships would be
kept waiting, and the penalties to the
builders would be accommodating.
In this condition of affairs Senator
Chandler of New Hampshire has a some
what characteristic and inconsistent sug-
| gestion to make. Contiscate the Carnegie
works, he says; seize them for the gov
ernments uses, and let Carnegie sue for
his money. According to Chandler Car
negie has no right TO fix a price for the
products of his mills. Congress may fix
the price, and IL Carnegie has not mind
to accept that price, let his mills be tax
en- away from him by force, and let him
whistle for his pay. Chandler and the re-
publican party have helped to make pos
sible a trust composed of Carnegie and
the Bethlehem company; they have fos-
tered combinations of the very kind that
has now secured control of the armor-
making business in America; yet It is
Chandler who proposes to connscate Car
negie's goods.

The Monetary Commission.

The President is being criticised for Civ
ing the free silver sentiment the majority
of representation on the monetary
| commission. The criticisms do not seem
to be well grounded. What Is to be the
object of the proposed International con-
ference? To bring about an agreement
| under which bimetallism may be institute
ed in the several countries. The United
States are in favor of international BIZ
metalllsm. The countries which it is
desired TO bring into the arrangement
are now partial to the single gold stand
ard. Therefore a preponderance Of argu-
ment in favor of silver must be brought
to bear upon them. Would it not be far
cical to send gold bug commission TO
argue in favor of silver as a standard
money metal having equal power with
gold2 To name a commission of gold
men would have been to declare at the
outset that the United States did not de-
sire bimetallism under any circumstances,
which would have killed the conference
scheme before it was well launched.
Interviews with the gentlemen appoint
ed by the President, however, do not In
dictate that they entertain any very great
hopes that they will be speedily called TO
sit in conference, or that a conference
would be eminently successful if it were
held. Senator wolcott says it will be d
part of the duties of the commissioners
to work up foreign sentiment in favor Of
the holding of a conference. THE COM
missions first work" he says lis TO be
of a purely diplomatic character, looking
entirely to securing European co-operd-
ton" The commissioners are to make
advances to the governments of Europe.
Whether the conference will be held de-
ponds upon how those advances are re-
ceived.
The situation is a cucumber from which
1t will probably be found very difficult to
extract any sunbeam. When Senator
Wolcott was in Europe recently his adj
vances met with somewhat chilling re-
sponses. Lately Japan, Peru and other
countries have made changes in their mon
etary systems calculated TO dampen the
hopes of the advocates of an internation-
al agreement. Even our own country
has lately declared against departing from
gold as a measure of values. Mr.. More
ton Frewen. the noted English "bimetal-
list" is now being quoted as believing an
international agreement 10 be impossible.
He says each government should "act for
itself" 1t may be doubted that he would
like to see England "act for ITSELF and
adopt free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer and gold at the rate of 16 TO l. But
he would like to see the United States I'M
dertake the experiment.
In the meantime it is but matter of
common justice to give the President
proper credit for his efforts towards Sc
curing bimetallism by international agree
ment. He has given the majority Of the
commission to the silver people, and the
gentlemen he has named are competent
to present the cause of silver in it's best
light.

The Governor of Maine.

weeks ago 1 happened to be at the Parker
house in Boston, and while trying to kill
time fell into conversation with a strang-
er in the public lounging room of the ho-
tel. The man had attracted my attention
because Of his hight and breadth, his
swarthy complexion, straight and coarse
black hair, and face strongly suggestive
of Indian origin. He was a six-footer, l
judged, was long of arm and limb, and
impressed me as easily eligible to the awk-
ward squad. 1t took but a minute or two,
however, for the discovery that he was a
first-rate time killer and as full Of gem
eral information as a pecan is of meat.
He interested me greatly with his pro-
nounced views upon public questions and
his knowledge of men and things. He had
quaint way of expressing himself, and
illustrated some of his sayings with sto-
ries which would make a horse laugh
outright. They were apt, and far from
chestnutty; at least, they struck me in
that way.
AT one time we were talking of the pulp
industry and the havoc it's development
had made in the forests of New England.
This led my chance acquaintance to re-

who arose from his seat, pulled himself
together and grasped it warmly, in fact
with a grip which led me to believe that
he knew even more about pulp making
than he had admitted. Then, looking me
straight in the eye, he slowly released my
hand and said: L don't 'spose you have

The Investigations of the weather bu-

There are strained relations between the
German Emperor and the American en-
bassy in Berlin, according to a well-known
correspondent who has just returned from
Europe. They were brought about by
Ambassador UhPs failure to observe a
prominent custom of court etiquette, which
requires that at an ambassadorial dinner
or other court function where the empe-
ror presides, no one shall speak until the
emperor has first spoken Unfortunately
for Ambassador Uhl, he kept up an anima-
ted conversati ton with Count LAMA, the
Italian ambassador, before the proper
time, and though il was overlooked by the
emperor at the time. subsequently at the
annual subscription bali at the Royal op-
era house, the emperor entered the box
where the foreign diplomats were seated.
and chatted with every one in the box
except Mr.. uhl, ignoring him entirely The
circumstances are no doubt quite embar-
RAISING to the ambassador, but then Pres
ident Mckinley has arranged to cut his
embarrassment short. Court etiquette
may be very good thing, but Emperor
William, as is his way in most everything
else he does, is liable to carry it a little
too far.
