spirit, tribute not to the principles
the German chancellor held dear but
rather to the virility of the man, to the
indomitable pluck and the steam-sn-
CINE energy which carried al things
before him-even German liberty
So on the platform of the Metropoli-
tan Opera House, Carl Schurz will
perhaps dissect the social conditions
of Germany which made Bismarck
possible. Bismarck represented force,
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Carl Schurz repre-
sents the exact opposite, and never
was his position more clearly defined
than in a recent letter to Bjornsterne
Bjornsen, wherein he says: Il believe
that this Republic, in that sense, can
endure so long as it remains true to
the principles upon which it was
founded, but that it will morally decay
if it abandons them. l believe that this
democracy, the government of, by and
for the people, is not fitted for col
onial policy, which means conquest by
force, or. as President Mckinley called
1t, criminal aggression" and arbitrary
rule over subject populations. I be-
lieve that, if it attempts such policy
on a large scale, its inevitable degener-
acy will hurt the progress of civiliZa-
tion more than it can possibly further
that progress by planting its flag upon
foreign soil on which its fundamental
principles of government cannot live. "
Then, too, as this is to be a memorial
meeting, a concourse called together
for the purpose of paying only tribute,
it will be interesting TO note how Carl
Schurz, the very embodiment of anti
militarism, discusses the man who was
the incarnation Of Europe's military
spirit In this same reply Carl Schurz
has this 70 say of militarism: The full
realization of the Cars peace pro-
gramme would indeed be a measureless
blessing TO mankind. So far. the
American people have enjoyed the in
estimable privilege Of being exempt
from the curse of an increasingly bur-
densome militarism. They were proud,
not of possessing great and costly
| ornaments, but of not needing any.

which such German-Americans as Carl
Schurz, Franz Sigel and Oswald Often
dorfer take especial delight For in
stance, according to the Busch BIZ
ography, Bismarck on one occasion
made this remark: "Parliamentarism
only works where there are merely two
rival parties that come to power alter
nately, and where the members of the
legislature are well off and unselfish
and do no. find it necessary to struggle
for their personal advancement. l am
no advocate of absolutism. Parliament
tarism is good even here as a veto upon
the resolutions of unwise government
and a bad monarch-for purposes of
criticism. In England up to the pres
ct there have been two great parties
whose principles have latterly not diff
fered very widely, and both desired the
welfare of their country and nothing
for themselves. They were the repre-
sentatives of a few hundred families
who were well enough off not to want
more, and who could therefore study
exclusively the@welfare of the whole
community-a remark which at the
bottom also applies to kings who
should be under no necessity to think
of their own interests"
1t is believed that fully fifty thousand
will be in line of march, and to many
of them it will be rather tribute to
the man who united Germany. than TO
the Iron Chancellor"
Put the event of the day will be the
speech of Carl Schurz. to which two
continents are looking forward with the
most intense interest.

He modestly answered that he was not,
but that he was a clergyman's son: that
he had tried mining in Plumas county,
but failed, and was then finding his way
on foot to San Jose, where his sister. a
clergyman's wife. was living: that he
hoped to obtain q situation as teacher, as
he was not strong enough to work in the
mines.
At this Curly, the stage driver, aroused
himself.
"Pardners. he said, ''you hear the boy.
I am sorry for him so much!' and he laid
ten-dollar piece upon the table.
I'm sorrier than you,'' said Posey. and
he covered the ten with twenty.

half an ounce on the table.
The rest contributed, making the land
lord treasurer, and when the coin was
counted and the dust weighed and calcu-
lated, $213 were handed over to the boy.
The youth seemed perfectly overcome
with the unexpected bounty and tried in
vain to coherently thank his benefactors
By this time 1t was 10 o'clock at night
and just then the overdue stage from
Quincy, Plumas county, drove up to the
door. There was the usual excitement;
all hands rushed out to see the new ar
rivals; the hostIers took the team; the
passengers crawled from the mud wagon
and entered the house, and at last the
driver followed, his bearskin coat and hat
shining with the rain caught in the
shower.

and so sauntering up to him. said: How

WHAT DID SIR JULIAN SAY.
Two Stories of His Talk with the President
Onicially Denied.

Washington, March 11.-Yesterday be-
ing diplomatic day at the state depart
ment it would not be a matter of note
in ordinary times to see the British
ambassador among the callers upon the
secretary of state and Judge Day, as he
was yesterday. But in view Of the pub
lications Of late touching alliances be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain and the reported British refusal
to allow US to purchase warships in
England. more than usual interest at
tached to his visit. The ambassador
himself refused to make any statement
Tor publication relative to these mat
tiers. being visibly annoyed at the prom
inence that had been given to these
publications. but the state department
denied both stories.
The new Spanish minister, Senior
Polo Bernabe, arrived here early YES
terday and was met at the station by
Senior du Bose, the Spanish charge, and
other Spanish officials, who gave him a
cordial welcome and escorted him to
the legation. Later Senior du Bose
called at the state department and ar
ranged to present Senor Polo at 11:15
O'Clock this morning. At that time the
minister was introduced to Secretary
Sherman and Judge Day.
1t Is realized at the state DEPART
ment that the lot of the American con-
suls In Cuba is very hard one: it has
been difficult for many months and is no
better now. Still, the department is
gratified at the manner in which these
officers have discharged their duties and
remained by their posts. So far as can
be learned at the state department none
OF them has resigned, and stories to the
contrary probably found their origin in
the fact that one consul whose health
had broken down has applied for a
leave OF absence, which will be granted
TO him.

Neit IN conference ABOUT the Auxiliary

gartling Presidential Special Message
Also Denial Of Stories Connected with
Pauncefote's Visit to the President.
Washington, March 1.-THE United
States government has not yet acquired
single additional ship for the navy
This is true, not because of a lack OF
offers Of warsEips from abroad but SIM
ply for the reason that the navy de-
partment is proceeding with all of the
circumsrection consistent with the
peeds Of the case in looking after the
qualities and prices of the craft. There
is strong disposition to refrain from
being drawn into bad bargains and to in
sist on getting good vessels at prices
not extortonate. Secretary Long was
in receipt of a large number of cable
grams yesterday. almost all relating to
offers Of ships. Lieutenant Niblack, the
United States naval attache at Berlin,
st. Petersburg and Vienna, is particu-
larly active in the quest of vessels.
Many Sensational Stories.
Again it was said at the navy DEPART
ment that nothing had been heard from
the court of inquiry at Havana, nor
from Admiral Sicard at Key West. The
presence in the city OF several persons
connected with steamship lines and
steel works led TO the circulation Of a
number of sensational stories during
the day. but perhaps none Of these had
the persistency OF one that found cur
rency at the Capitol until 1t met with q
summary denial at the hands Of As
sistant Secretary Day, to the effect that
Minister Woodford had notified the
Spanish government that the president
intended to send to congress a message
announcing his recognition Of Cuban
Independence.
Conference on War Matters.
n conference was held at 3 p. m. In
the office Of Assistant Secretary Roose-
welt to map out plans for arming and
equipping merchant vessels as auxiliary
cruisers. Roosevelt presided. This
meeting had been preceded by a call
from President Griscom, of the Inter-
national Navigation company, which
owns the four ships st. Louis, st. Paul.
Paris and New York. The board meet
ing brought out general discussion of
the work the various bureaus would be
called upon to perform in making these
and other vessels ready as auxiliary
cruisers. On the question of manning
the auxiliary fleet the navy depart
ment feels that the most effective step
would be to enlist into the United States
naval service the present merchant
crews Of the several ships.
