It is said that Cecil Rhodes once
tried to impress his Importance upon

office at johannesburg and met with
signal failure. Rhodes, says the Ne"
York Tribune, had to stand in line and

once" he said. II can't wait" When
your turn comes, mister" mumbled
the clerk. "Confound you, sir! Don't
you know who I am? I'm Rhodes"
ooh, yes, I knew that, but that doesn't
worry me-" was the unruftled reply.
III you were in Cape Town I'd have
you discharged in a minute" roared
Mr.. Rhodes. Eyes; have heard that
they discharged people in Cape Town
for doing their duty" answered the
clerk; "but we amt in Cape Town;
this is q republic"

Costly Dress Material.

The most expensive material ever
produced for a dress was that pur-
chased by the German Empress about
q year ago, from Lyons. It was white
silk brocade, having flowers, birds and
foliage in relief, and cost 1925 yard,
the actual value of the raw silk, 1t Is
said. being $500. The empress was so
struck by its beauty that she had not
the heart to cut it up, and it was event.
ually turned into curtains. The price
paid for this material is about double
as much as the famous cloth that
Louis XIV. had made into dressing

Investigating the Blind Asylu nj.

Dies MONIES, Jan. 25.-Chairman
William Larrabee and John Cownie,
of the state board of control, went to
Knoxville to investigate charges
against the management of the indus
trial home for the blind. A petition
was presented to Governor Shaw ask
ing him to cause the state board OF
control to make an investigation. 1t
is charged that the superintendent,
Cal Culbertson, has, while under the
influence of liquor, made violent
attacks on some of the blind inmates
and that there are irregularities in the
financial management of the instltu-
ton. The fund for carrying on the
manufacture of brooms and hammoc!is,
which should have lasted a year
longer, is nearly exhausted.

ALL OVER THE WORLD.
a CRISIS is REACHED.
AgoncilIo Again Attempts to secure
Recognition. ".

d . . V
AEoncillo Again Attempts to Secure
tsr Recognition. "
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Senor Lopez,
secretary to Agoncillo, the Washington
representative of Aguinaldo, called at
the state department yesterday and
lodged with the chief clerk a commu-
nication, which. according to the COM
mon expectation, marked the critical
stage in the Philippine question. This
is the third attempt made by the Eli
ipino representative to secure official
recognition from the United States
government. Secretary Hay. at the
time the communication was presented,
was attending meeting of the cabi-
net at the white house, so that all
Chief Clerk Michael could do under
the circumstances was to receive the
paper as he would any other handed
in to him. The advices from Manila
which have reached the war depart
ment are far from reassuriug. 1t is
understood that General Otis reports
an expectation on his part that the in
surgents are about to force an issue,
and if this should be so, the result
cannot be foreseen. Manila ITSELF
and not Iloilo, as might first be sus-
pected, is regarded as the danger
point just now.
In his communication to the secre-
tary Agoncillo calls attention to the
tact that there are now 10000 Ameri'
can soldiers in Manila and that more
are en- route, and that as there is no
disorder in the Philippines, the people
being satisfied with the existing gov
eminent, they have reason to believe
the United States is about to make
war upon the new republic He calls
attention to the fact that over zeal on
either side might cause great loss OF
life and urges the necessity OF an early
and frank communication between the

Aguinnldo Authorized to Declare War on

MANILA, Jan. 27.-The official organ
of the Filipinos announces that the
congress at Malolos adopted the Phil
ippine constitution and empowered
Aguinaldo to declare war on the

advisable. An American sentry killed
a captain Of the Filipino artillery at
the Tonic outpost. The native press
is intensely excited and denounces it
as scowardly assassination At a
mass meeting of women at Cavite, the
Republica, Filipino organ, says, it was
enthusiastically resolved to petition
Aguinaldo for permission to take the
