ADMIRAL KAUTZ WAS MAD.

OOnSloeFs ne mas been grossly In
suited by Consul Rose.
Api, Samoa. March "a via San Fran
cisco, April 1.-THE Associated Press cor
respondent had an interview with Admiral
Kautz yesterday. He spoke quite freely
of the situation and considers he has
been grossly insulted by the German con-
sui general issuing his counter proclaim
alton. The admiral takes the stand that
the Berlin treaty which he is instructed
by his government to uphold, does not
make any provision whatever for a pro-
vsional government. His instructions are
to carry out the treaty in accordance with
the views of a majority of the consular
representatives. The admiral is very
wroth with the German consul and blames
him entirely for the present attitude of
the rebels as the natives were obeying
his command to retire to their homes
when the German proclamation was is
sued.

two girls drunk and then lead them reeling down q

but of that scene he writes:

Tariff An Insignificant Issue.

"Tinkering with the tariff on tin and things" is
said to be the father of all our woe The largest
amount of tariff received in one under the
Mckinley tariff law was
$219000,000,
and that amount shrunk the administration Of

had balance of trade amounting to

Let the honest student compare this insignificant
amount with that which is spent in besottng the
manhood, debauching the sons, and leading the
daughters of America to ruin and say which, in
mon sense is economically the more adequate and
closely related for the depression in prices

Up to the time when his son Harry

whole-souled, genial fellow. He would
drop around to the club and exchange
few words and a little money with
the bartender.

waited for jenkins, and he always did
the "honors" But one day and there
after for a month Jenkins was absent
The reason was plain to only a few.
Jenkins was engrossed with the study
of grammar.
He had carelessly picked up his SON
text book one day and had casually
come upon the chapter headed Com
mon Errors in English" Beginning
with a cursory inspection he launched
into the subject with terrible earnest
ness. The chapter was practically COM
mitted to memory. Then OTHER works
were bought, and for several weeks
Jenkins was engrossed with their con-
tents. He was much altered at the end
of that time. His playful good-natured
manner was gone, and in its place was
a look of watchfulness and cunning.

gagged again and will give the custom
airy concerts each day.
Excursion rates have been secured on
the Baltimore and Chic road, but on the
Ohio River the rate granted is a fare
and one-third for the round trip. This
is not as good as the Fair Association
expected and consequently there IS
much disappointment over it. The priv

be much in evidence.
