HIS MALADROITNESS
COST CHARGE CANTACUZENE
HIS JOB
An Echo Of the Snub Administered
to German Dignitaries by the
Russian Gear

ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 12.-An i'm
perial ukase just issued announces that,
it being considered expedient to appoint
= permanent charge d'affairs at Carls-
ruhe. capital Of The German duchy of
Baden. Prince Cantasuzene. who has
hitherto represented Russia at Stutt-
CART, the capital of the kingdom Of Wurt-
emburg, and at Carlsruhe, has been re-
lieved of his post at he court Of Baden.
It is presumed that the diplomatic
change announced above is in some
manner connected with the alleged
slight put on the Grand Duke and
Duchess of Baden during the stay of the
czar and czarina at Darmstadt, capital
OF the grand duchy of Hesse, where
their Russian majesties were the guests
during the latter part of last month of
the brother of the czarina, the Grand
Duke Of Hesse.
The Grand Duke and Grand Duchess
Of Baden, toward the end of the visit of
the czar and czarina to the court of
Hesse, intimated desire to visit them,
and in return, as announced by the
Carlsruhe official gazette, received a re-
ply from the czar saying that arrange
ments had already been made covering
every day until his departure from
Darmstadt, and therefore his majesty
would be unable to receive them. En-
phasis was given to the incident by the
fact that about the same time the czar
and czarina entertained Prince Hohen-
lohe, the German imperial chancellor,
and Princess Hohenlohe, and to increase
the irritation it was pointed out that the
refusal of the czar and czarina to re-
ceive the Grand Duke and Grand Ouch
ess of Baden was an insult to the whole
German nation. as the grand duchess Is
the daughter Of the late Emperor Will
lam l., grandfather of the present en-
peror of Germany. The affair soon
created so much stir that the German
government, on the facts published, is
sued orders forbidding the telegraphing
of any comments on the subject, many
Of the German newspapers having al
ready expressed strong resentment.
A semi-off1cial statement was issued
from Darmstadt on Oct 26th, denying
that there was any political significance
in the czars reply to the intimation
conveyed to him by the Grand Duke and
Grand Duchess of Baden. and explain
ing that his imperial rnajesty's answer
was bungled through the maladroitness
of the officials concerned. AS it is more
than likely that this answer was sent
through Prince Cantacuzene, tempo
rary charge d'affairs of Russia at the
court of Baden, this "maladroitness'
may have caused him to be relieved of
his post at Carlsruhe. Finally, on Oct
9th, the Frankfort Zeitung said that
the trouble which had arisen on account
Of the refusal Of the czar to receive the
Grand Duke and Grand Duchess OF
Baden had been satisfactorily arranged
by an interchange OF letters Of explain
alton, the paper also implying that the
czar had offered an apology for the curt
brevity of his telegram explaining his
inability to receive the grand duke and
grand duchess

NAVAL EXPERTS
Discuss Marine Matters and Dine at

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE Society
of Marine Architects and Naval En-
gineers continued its fifth annual meet
ing here today. Constructor Hichborn
discussed the trial trips Of the battle
chips Oregon, Iowa, Indinana and Mas
sachusetts. The trials, he said, showed
that, as regarded speed and power, the
vessels compared favorably with those
of large battleships abroad.
The annual banquet of the Society OF
Naval and Mechanical Engineers was
held tonight at Delmonicos. About 100
members and guests were present. Col.
e. A. Stevens was the toastmaster
Among the guests was the assistant Sec
retary Of the navy, Theodore Roosevelt.
He was applauded when he mentioned
the needs of the department with which
he Is connected. He said in part: I'm
upbuilding the navy we have to take
into account not only the military needs
of the country, but also the possibility
imposed upon us by the necessity Of the
proper economics and we cannot &C
ahead as fast as many Of us would like
We need q large increase in the force,
both of officers and Of enlisted men, but
the most crying need Of the navy at the
moment is the need Of first-class dry
docks. Next comes the need for an ample
quantity of smokeless powder and pro-
jectiles. We need powerful fighting
navy-a navy Including an ample num-
ber Of torpedo boats. an ample force Of
seagoing battleships and also armored
cruisers, which should both possess en-
durance, and. in addition, carry an
abundance Of rapid-fire guns. our de-
flciency in torpedo boats being particu-
larly marked.
'Unless we are willing to be put in the
contemplate attitude of those who
bluster without being able to back up
their words by deeds. we must prove that
our attitude about the Monroe doctrine
is not sham.
ITO prove this means thae we must
have powerful navy. If we annex
Hawaii we shall need an adequate navy
to enforce our position on the Pacific. II
we do not annex Hawaii. we shall need
a much larger army, as Hawaii cannot
stand alone, and some other power must
necessarily take 1t and at that moment
menace our whole Pacific coast

INQUIRY ORDERED
Into the Disastrous Reconnaissance
Under Westmacott

Into the Disastrous Reconnaissance
Under Westmacott
SIMLA, Nov. 12.-The viceroy Of In
dia, the Earl Of Elgin, has ordered a
court Of inquiry to investigate the dis
astrous reconnaissance Of the British
forces under Gen Westcott, which on
Wednesday last reached the summit of
Saran-Sar mountain with little resis-
tance and afterward retreated, closely
pursued by the enemy, with the loss OF
about so killed and wounded. the British
rear guard only being saved by the ex-
cellent disposal made of the troops by
the commanding officer.
Dispatches received from the British
camp in the Madam valley say that a
man who has just come in there brought
some details Of the killing Of Lieut..
Mcintyre and the twelve men belonging
to the Northamptonshire regiment who
met death while endeavoring to save the
wounded Of the regiment during the re-
treat from the Saran-Sar mountains.
This survivor says that when the lieu
tenant found himself isolated he dis
patched him for aid. as the small party
was hampered by the wounded and
would not desert them The rest Of the
sad tale will never be known. but as
shown by the dispatch of yesterday,
Lieut.. Mcintyre and his handful Of men
sacrificed their lives for their wounded
comrades, the positions in which the
bodies were found showing they died
bravely fighting to the last. The enemy
was afraid to rush upon the little band,
the dispatches also say, but shot at them
from points Of vantage until every man
Of the British detachment was killed.
A full representation of the Orakxais
tribes met Gen. Sir William Lockhart
the British commander, today. at the
MADAM Valley camp and heard the
terms which he insisted upon for their
submission, namely, the restitution OF
all the rifles captured since the out
break; their disarmament by another

rupees and the formal submission OF
the tribes In full Durham to Gen. Lock

the fire department responded, but the

was removed by the neighbors. There
was $500 insurance on the building and
$3.50 insurance on the furniture. This

Bread and Butter Worries.

Those who are born rich are saved from
that incessant bread and butter worry that
tries the souls of mankind. Comparatively
few of US, however, are exempt from the
worries that haunt the daily life struggle,
and in consequence the most useful lives
are generally the ones marked for nervous
collapse. We cannot give up, our families
must be provided for, but what are they
going to do when we do give up? Under
this strain of constant effort of mind and
body no one can continue Indefinitely I'M
scathed, and multitudes of half broken men
and women surround us. They have consult
ed their doctors without securing aid, and
they work along as we'll as they can in an
aimless sort of way that seems to be with
out hope of relief. All of such worn
out, spiritless people can be cured and
put quickly on their feet by T,r. Greene, the
great specialist. of "a Temple Place, Boston,
Mass, discoverer of the world-famed Ner-
vura, and many other wonderful remedies
that cure the ills of men and women. This
famous man can be consulted absolutely
free by personal call or by letter through the
mail, and his advice, which means health to
you, can be had for the asking.
The closest attention is given to letter
correspondence, your description of your
case being instantly Ineligible to the wide
experience of this scientific physician. If
you are ill., write to DR.. Greene and be well.

A Horse for Monhegan.

A correspondent of the Rockland Cour-
ier Gazette says: Capt. George Cazalis
boughta horse of James Brennan at Port
Clyde last week to do service on Monhegan
Isle. While attempting to bring him on in a
sloop boat he encountered rough pas
sage and came near losing the horse over
board. He also had his outfit in dory
which he was towing. The dory broke
adrift and while attempting to rescue it
he capsized it, and the result was he lost
three wheels, saved one out Of four We
think him very fortunate after such a
struggle for existence. Most people
think by his horses looks and speed that
he is a descendant of the great trotter,
Nancy Hanks. James Breson, while out
fishing, was chased by a large shark on a
bicycle, which was probably manufacture
ed from the lost wheels. Necessity is the
mother of invention and George has as a
substitute dray made Of hogshead slaves,
The estimated loss is about S15.

To the birthday number of the Atlantic
both Mr.. Aldrch and Mr.. Stedman con-
tribute poems.
1t does not seem possible that the table
for eight people can be provided for ten
dollars week. But Mrs. Rorer, the most
famous cook in America, says it can be
done. She has tried it and knows. She
proves her case in The Ladies Home Jour
nal for October She gives twenty one
menus covering week meals, and gives
full, practical directions by which any
woman can make as attractive meals as
Mrs. Rorer explains, for this small sum
of ten dollars.
The first and only pictures Mrs. Mekin-
ley has had taken in ten years appear in
the October number of The Ladies' Home
Journal. They form part of a series of
new and unpublished photographs of the
new occupants of the White House. Mrs
Mckinley wore for her picture her inaug-
ural ball dress of silver and white bro
cade, at the special request Of the Presi-
dent, who thought it particularly becom-
ing. The excellent portrait of Mr.. Nc
kinley in his office was taken in June.
The other pictures in the series show the
many changes in the arrangements and
furnishings of the rooms and grounds,
made by the President and Mrs. Mckin-
ley.
The Atlantic Monthly for october com
pletes the fortieth year of the magazine,
which was the first to depend definitely
upon the contributions OF An & lean writ
ers, and which at once became the expo
nent of American literature. This num-
Der, in the variety of it's contents, shows
wide sympathy and firm grasp on con-
temporaneous life. The dominant note
in in it, true to its traditions, is the liter
airy note. The opening article is not
able piece of literary analysis and criti-
cism by Mr.. James Lane Allen, who is
undoubtedly the most promising and most
prominent writer of fiction that we now
have. Since this is the first literary essay
that Mr.. Allen has put forth, and may be
interpreted, therefore, to contain his lit
erary creed, it is of more than usual in
terest. He makes review of the opera
ton of the two great principles that have
governed our fiction, which he calls the
feminine principle, that has given us del
icacy and refinement; and the masculine
principle, which has given us strength, i!
sometimes coarseness. Mr.. Allen makes
an eloquent plea for the union of these
two principles of composition.
