Perhaps the most precious sword in
existence is that of the Gaeliwar of
Baroda. It's hilt and belt are encrust-
ed with diamonds, rubies and emer-
aids, and it is valued at e22O,O0O. The
Shah of Persia possesses a sword val
ued at 100000 There are some cost
ly swords in India, and both the Gar

great price. The most valuable sword

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19--The following
statement is given out at the War Dee
partment:
"The War Department is just at press
ent undergoing an experience which NUS
trates the alacrlty with which tho aver
age American citizen hastens TO his Sena-
tor or representative in Congress for aid
In emergencies.
THE cessation OF hostilitios and tho

"The department has also promulgated

Is to tho effect that public policy will
not permit at this time the consideration
OF applications for discharges OF men

Washington, Aug. i.-Persons best

that the answer OF the Spanish govern
ment 10 the terms OF peace outlined by

thaa those usually conferred In such
cases. hut his position Is somewhat
similar 10 that OF the president him

of full acceptance OF our conditions
