the vessels of the Pacific steam whaling
fleet, and on those of Liebes & Co., to
be distributed in different parts of the
ocean, then to be picked up by vessels
which shall pass them later, and thus
1t is hoped to determine the currents
of .he Arctic and the theory of an open
passage around the pole from the At
lantic to the Pacific.
The first five casks viii be taken to
the north by the whalers of H Liebes

The Daily Graphic, in commenting
upon the announcement, says: Coming
Immediately after the enperor's recep-
ton to Cecil Rhodes, it marks the COM
plete reconciliation OF Great Britain
and Germany"
The Berlin correspondent Of the Daily
Mail says: 81 am informed that EN-
peror William displayed great interest
in the conference with Cecil Rhodes
asking many questions as to the latter's
schemes, without however, going into
details or revealing his own views. He
was especially keen regarding the tele-
graphic portion Of Mr.. Rhodes projects,
and he said he had not yet renowned
his hope OF visiting Egypt to see with
his own eyes the work that has been
accomplished there.
In the course of the interview his
majesty said: DO not miss seeing the
marble statues in the Sieges-AlleQ
(Avenue of Victory)." He also ex-
pressed the hope to see Mr.. Rhodes
again before he left Berlin.
The emperor dined with Prince Ho-
henlohe, the imperial chancellor, yes.
terday, after receiving Mr.. Rhodes,
with whom he had conversad FOR three
quarters of an hour.
Mr.. Rhodes is continuing his visits to
high officials and financiers, and the
general belief here is that his efforts TO
obtain the kaiseT's adherence TO the
project of a railroad from the Cape to
Cairo, passing through German East
African territory. will succeed.

Certain Reforms Should Be Kept In

PEOPLE READY TO ACT
IN FAVOR OF INITIATIVE AND
REFERENDUM.
But This Question Should Not Be
Given Prominence Over Other Is
sues That Have Come to the Front
Has Never Favored Government
Ownership of Railroads.

New York, March 12.-The Verdict
will tomorrow print letter, for the
first time made public, written by Will
liam ]. Bryan in 1897 to Chicago edi-
tor. 1t is dated Lincoln, Neb., and,
after referring to personal matters,
says:
las I think I stated in my letter to
Mr. Flower, I am in favor of the in
itiative and referendum as far as it can
be applied to our conditions. and assist
ed in the adoption of such a plank in
our state convention, but I believe an
attempt to give that such prominence
as you seem to give it, means harm
rather than advantage to the other re-
forms upon which the people are ready
to act. 1 may be mistaken, but such is
my opinion. In your letter you add the
subject of government ownership of
railroads. although your circular does
not mention this. You are in error IN
supposing that 1 have advocated the
government ownership of railroads. l
have been so busily engaged in the
study and discussion of the questions
which have been Immediately before,
that have never had opportunity to
examine into the effect of the govern
Dent ownership of railroads in other
countries. Events have forced certain
issues into the foreground and the peo
ole are ready to act upon them. To
invite them to pass over these ques-
lions and take up new ones Will be a
confession that we were wrong last fall,
and weaken the force of our arguments.
II note what you say in regard to the
desire of those whom you represent to
support me in 1900 I think 1900 is too
far ahead for us to know who may be
most available at that time. We are
entitled to the most available man,
whoever he may be, and the events of
The next three years will be needed to
aid Us in selecting him. Those who are
trying to overthrow the reign of pluto
cracy inaugurated by the Republican
party will have to do the best they can,
each following his own judgment, and
I trust that our forces may be concen-
trated upon certain reforms held in
common, rather than divided when the
next battle begins.
