The true explanation of the German en-
perors concern about Mr.. Kipling's health
is probably very simple. Several years
ago. when Williams enterprising mind
was occupying itself busily with the eter-
ual problems of social conditions and
trade organization, Mr.. Kipling addressed
to him some admirable instructions in a
poem entitled 'An Imperial Reseript.
This poem is included in the collected
writings of its author. but it will be read
again now with interest by every man
and every woman who is philosopher:
Now, this is.the tale of the council the
German kaiser decreed,
To ease the strong of their burden to
help. the weak in their need,
He sent word TO the peoples. who strug-
gle, and pant. and sweat.
That the straw might be counted fairly
and the tally of bricks be set. .

Success of Negotiations Depends Upon
Treatment OF Twelve Articles.

The negotiations on the Franco-American
reciprocity treaty have narrowed down to
question as to whether twelve specified ar
ticles are to be omitted from the minimum
tariff test allowed by France to the United.
States. The entire. list contains 644 articles,
and ON all of these the United States is to
receive the minimum rate, 20 per cent
off from the present rate with the excep-
ton of the twelve articles referred to.
These excepted articles include some which
are not exported to any great extent to
France, SO that the exception will not OPP
crate to any serious disadvantage. They
include steel rails. seeds horses and some
kinds of electrical instruments. The ship
ment of steel rails to France has been
small as the railroad system is we'll estab-
liShed and under government control SO
that there is little development. The same
Is said TO be true of seeds and horses.
On the other hand. the 6}2 articles on the
list which win receive the benefit of the re-
duction include locomotives. bicycles, pc
troleum, cotton sAed oil and other articles
which form the bulk of trade with France
The reduction or cotton seed oil is re-
garded with special favor. for it will aid an
extensive southern industry and also
strengthen the treaty with southern sena-
tors when the question of ratification comes
up Practically the only point remaining
Is as to whether this government will ex-
cept these twelve articles. 1t is understood
that Ambassador Cambon'S authority TO
sign the treaty Is conditioned by a granting
OF all twelve of these exceptions

IN A FORMATIVE STAGE.
The Negotiations Over the Alaskan
boundary,

Senator Fairbanks of the Canadian Joint
high commission had another conference
with Secretary Hay and Commissioner
kasson today, after which he went to the
White House for a talk with the Presi
dent. The moves in the Alaskan boundary
dispute, which is now the sole matter oc-
cupying the attention of the commission.
have been guarded with the utmost Sc
crecy
Neither Senator Fairbanks nor Secretary
Hay was willing today to say anything
definite about the negotiations, but il was
intimated that no new proposition has been
submitted by Great Britain, and that the
immediate business of the American side is
to study out the essential features of the
plan embodied in the British note recently
transmitted to Ambassador Choate.
The commissioners now in Washington
have had the advice of the coast and geo
detic survey officials regarding certain
geographic features under consideration
and Senator Fairbanks has also been able
to tell Secretary Hay some things CLEANED
by personal observation of the country
around the Lynn canal and northward
which was covered on his recent trip
1t is said, however, that 1t is impossible
to give out any definite statement lust now
on the status of the negotiations, as they
are In purely formative stage and liable
to complete overturn at any hour
Neither will the members of the commits
sion say whether rot 1t is settled that
the commission will not again get together
on August 2.

WOULDN'T PLAY HERE.
Alex. Smith Wants to He Traded for n
BnltimOre Player.

Aleck Smith, who figured in the Mcclure
base ball trade to Brooklyn, had a short
talk with J. Earl Wagner last evening and
was turned over to Manager Irwin, with
the remark that any trade the latter would
see fit to make would be satisfactory to
the local magnate. Smith took car and
rode to Manager Irwin's house, on It'll
street, and after quite a conference Mr..
Irwin passed him on with the remark that
ne could make almost any trade or any
offer and it would prove satisfactory to the
Washington club.
Smith is trying to fix I'D a trade between
the Baltimore and Washington clubs, as he
said he did not want to play in this city
WHAT players Baltimore has to offer for
Smith could not be learned.
Smith was seen by The Evening Star re-
porter, but refused to say anything of i'm
portance concerning the deal for fear of
compicating matters, but declared that he
wanted to play with Baltimore on account
of his personal relations with Manager Nc
Graw.
The pleasant weather and a double at
traction of two games for one admission
drew quite large crowd at the National
Park this afternoon to witness the games
between the Washington and Cleveland
clubs. Several local enthusiasts had Sc

and many more were continually passing
the turnstile.

minister Clayton Instructed to See
That She is Given Justice.
To quiet the apprehension that has been
aroused as TO the treatment of Mrs. Rich
by the Mexican provincial authorities the
State Department has taken steps to in
sure an absolutely Impartial trial for her.
She is now at 81 Pase, awaiting a surren
der to the Mexican authorities under extra
dition proceedings on a charge of murder
ing her husband, John B. Rich, in Mexico.
1t has been asserted by many persons who
have telegrapheh and written to the Presi-
dent and State Department in opposition to
granting the extraditipn of the woman that
she stood little chance of securing Justice
and was sure of harsh treatment In TAIL
under the Mexican criminal practice
The State Department has never believed
that this objection was Well taken but to
meet the apprehension of well-meaning per-
sons on that score it0has instructed United
States Minister Clayton to see that the
woman has every facility in the way of
counsel, that all necessary witnesses are
brought into attendance and that the wo-
man is properly accommodated while under
arrest. In addition, If 1T should appear that
she is guilty beyond doubt. an effort win he
made to induce the Mexican government To
show clemency in her case Ali this Is to
be done not entirely because of any anpre-
hension as to Mrs. Rich's fate but because
of an urgent desire on the part OF the
State Department to prevent the treaty. of
extradition from being violated. which
would result in endless mischief on the
border.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, July 21.-Opening prices
this morning were generally higher and the
character of the business showed signs of
Improvement London was encouraged by
the support given the international list, but
was not a factor in the dealings
The announcement that the local street
railways were running on schedule time
had a favorable effect on sentiment, and
throughout the list.
The market needs to broaden considerably
before any uniform Improvement is to be
expected. Speciaities may be taken ~up
from time to time and undoubtedly the
standard shares will again be made the
pioneers of a general advance. Confidence
is now most general in the higher priced
stocks. In this class Rock Island seems
to be especially deserving

resort to manipulation from time to time,
but merit exists and much artihclaltty may
come and go without impafring the intrfn-
sic value of the property. The earnings
predicted for this property while most lib
eral in their proportions are generally con-
coded to be probable.
Burlington is perhaps the only other
granger property doing the same relative
amount of new business. The discrepancy
between the selling prices of st. Paul and
Rock Island should decrease from now on
not by the falling back of the former, but
the advancing of the latter.
Atchison is being given good support and
the better known issues selling around the
same level are also attracting buyers.
Such stocks will reflect whatever good
there is in the situation, but are not likely
to lead an advance.
Manhattan. with its short interest and
an abundance of interesting consolidation
rUmors, is being carefully watched as a
possible leader of a substantial movement.
In the industrial department there is
much irTegularity in the course of prices,
and beyond inside support here and there
there is almost nothing of interest trans
piring.
1t is becoming more and more obvious
from day to day that the friends of Amer
lean Sugar not going to allow
other general upward movement without
forcing that property into conspicuous
prominence. 1t is to be remembered that
the sugar trade war is a thing. which can
be speedily settled by a very few men in
very few days. This settlement would be
the one thing needful to the establishment
of record prices for these shares.
This would be a legitimate incentive to
an advance, but after waiting a proper
time for such aid the pool now in the stock
may trust to manipulation to accomplish
the same result.
The tone of the market is strong and
earnings are of such proportions that new
business is likely to prolong the steady
current of advancement There is no oc
casion for haste, but there is no want of
confidence.

OCCUPANCY OF STREETS
Opinion Of Attorney Puvall Upon Applioa-
ton Of Hotel Proprietors.
The Use of Thoroughfares ms Stands
for Vehicles Declared to
Be Unlawful.

1t was recently suggested to the District
commissioners by Messrs Birney & Wood
ward, attorneys for certain local hotel pro-
prletors, that their clients proposed, with
the consent and approval of the Commits
sloneIs, TO locate and maintain in front of
thelr respective hotels such number of their
own private carriages and other vehicles
as may DE necessary for the accommodate
tion OF themselves and their guests, in like
manner as other business houses of the
city use the public streets for business pur-
poses. -.
Inc matter was, as stated in The Star at
the time, referred by the Commissioners
to the attorney for the District for his
opinion, and this afternoon that official adj
Vised the commissioners that the proposed
acilon OF the hotel proprietors would be
unlawful Furthermore says the Commits
sioners' legal adviser. the use of the public
streets by merchants does not entitle them
to occupy them in front of their business
houses continuously with their wal -ons, to
the exclusion of other vehicles.
Such an exclusive use of public streets,
says the attorney, constitutes nuisance,
which may be restrained and abated at the
suit OF any one specially injured thereby
In forwarding tie opinion of their attor-
hey TO MS associates, Commissioner Wight
niaue tne following recommendations,
which, 1t is understood, will be adopted:
The Interpretation of the law as laid
down by the attorney in this case appears
10 De right but if rigidiy enforced would
result in great hardship to many classes of
business, depriving merchants and other
business men of privileges that have been
granted SO long as now to be a necessity
anu Such privileges as are accorded bust
ness houses in other-cities 1t seems to be
a case where discretion on the part of the
executive officers in administering the law
needs to be exercised
90 not refer especially to the single
question of hotel owners being allowed the
privilege of standing their own private car
riages in front of their hotels for hire to
their guests, but also to the question of the
occupancy of the streets by merchants for
the use of their wagons, and the MANY
otner considerations that are constantly
coming before the Commissioners for ac-
tlon- l suggest that the whole subject be
taken up in full board meeting. and that
the attorney be invited to be present.
