Anti ExpnnsiOntstM MeetinG.

Chicago, April 30.-+Central Music hall
was this afternoon filled with an audi

course of the administration with re-

twice the proceedings were interrupted
by protests of those who disagreed with

national policy toward the Philippines,
said: There the flag is the emblem of
tyranny and butchery" Cries of "trea-
son" came from the gallery, but the
cries were quickly downed out by ap-
proving cheers. When Bishop j. L..
Spalding of Peoria declared that Eng
land has never been a friend Of this
country" an Englishman near the plat
form cried that's lie." Without no.
ticing the interruption, the bishop con-
tinued his address. DR.. Henry Wade

Tribute to the Kaiser,

London, May 1.-The Berlin CORE
William has once more shown how en-
tirely his most generous impulses are
icies and how far his ideas for foreign
politics are exalted above the petty
rancors of an influential section of the
German press. 1t ought to be noted
that the kilograms between Emperor
William and President Mckinley re-
garding the German cable We're both
published in the original English text.
On the very eve of the kaisers telegram
certain papers published a despatch
from New York declaring thai Captain
Coghlans dismissal was under consid
Grafton, but that DR.. Won Holleben did
not insist upon it."
THE truth is that many of those who
make the most noise in discussing for
eign politics do not at least realize the
necessities Of the situation. Germany
has become deeply committed to a pol
icy of commercial rivalry with Great
Britain and the United States and in
quarters it is considered
that, in the meantime at
least Germany should maintain polit-
ical friendship with those two powers.
THE Berlner Pest pointing this out,
says that what Germany needs is as
pite in order to develop her naval pow
er and to shape her policy with view
Of ultimate, if still remote, advantages"

Albany, N. Y, April 9O,-Carl E. N.Y.
er, professor of German language at the
Albany high school and assistant teach
er of that study at the Albany Female
academy, committed suicide sometime
during Saturday night in a lonely spot
on the Kenwood road. His dead body
was found this morning by Martin
Knaff, a farmer, as he was walking
down the road towards the Abbey hotel.
1t was plain to those who viewed the
body that Professor Myer had commit
ted suicide, for tightly clutched in the
right hand was 32-calibre revolver of
the bulldog pattern with but one cham
ber exploded. A bullet has been sent
into the head. Last Christmas Profess
sor Myer had a severe attack of the
grip, from which he never fully recov-
cred. 1t Is believed that dependency,
superseded by this, was the cause of his
ending his life. The professor was near

The Daily Chronicle points out that this

Lord Charles Beresford predicts will

request to General Gomez that the lat
ter and the junta of consulting Cuban
generals should come at once to a de-
cision. as to whether the Cuban muster
rolls are to stand, as now made up, or
are to be reduced, as General Gomez has
been expecting. If he could consult his
own desires, General Brooke would pay
$100 per man to such as are entitled to
share in the $3OOO,OOo but If General
Gomez continues to vouch for 39,930
troops payment will be begun without

his fears of wild outbreak of brigand-
age as soon as the troops are paid off.
