KISSED BY KAISER.
to Tell In English of an Os- cuIatOry Experience.

'Yes, was by Kaiser Wilhelm kissed, in Dusseldorf once; yes, he was to me nice-you speak German? No? Is that not too bad? I could in German good explain how the kaiser did" So spoke Baroness von Strants, known to the German stage as Ann Fuehring, who ar rived on the steamer Traye, and is now staying at the Hotel Belvidere, New York city. She was asked to tell the much-heralded story of the imperial os- culation at Dusseldorf.
 The baroness is a fine type of Teu- tonic classic beauty. She is more than six feet tall, and no better figure can be conceived for the role of "Germania," |" with which she enchanted the ruler of the fatherland.
 The baroness exhibited with great pride a diamond studded bracelet which the kaiser gave her on that occasion. Also a fine silver shield which the kaiser's grandfather, two weeks before bis death, presented to her when she .played the Maid of Orleans" in Ger man for the first time.
 This is the baroness first visit to America

WANTS NAVAL STATION.
Why Britain Is So Anxious to Obtain Control of a HarbOr on the
 Northern Pacific Coast.

Congressman James Hamilton Lewis, of the state of Washington, who was in London during the consideration of the Alaskan boundary question, rep resenting the owners of property in the disputed territory, has arrived in New York. ''I was informed by no less a. person than Sir Louis Davies" said Mir. Lewis, "that he had assured Mir. Choate that Canada would cede Skaguay and Taiya absolutely without any claim, al- though they are within the disputed territory, in return for Pyramid har- bor, the remainder of the dispute to be decided upon the basis of the Ven- ezuelan arbitration.
 ''This proposition was pending when the temporary modus was agreed upon At Washington.
 What Canada really wants is not a commercial depot, but a naval station like Esquimalt.
 Great Britain foresees possible trou- ble with Russia over the division of China and knows that she will have 10 fight it out in the northern Pacific. She realizes that trouble may arise over the Canada boundary at any time that she might have misunderstood ing with us. She wants a mastering station on the Alaskan coast. Were she to have war with us, now that we have islands in the Pacific, she could come, out and attack us. That, I believe, is the reason Canada would give up so much to obtain port there."

DIES AS HE EXPECTS SUCCESS
JOhn ROurlse, an Impecunious In- ventOr, Expires While Telling
 That Good Luck Is at Hand.

While telling his companions of the money ho expected in a few days from one of his inventions, John Rourke died the other night in his rhair in the Model lodging house, Chi cago.
 For the last week Rourke, who was 50 years old, had been without money, and while allowed to sleep in the lodg- ing house he had been unable to pur- chase sufficient food, and had grown weak and emaciated as a. result.
 Fer years he had been at work on ITS I@gine which he had invented, and a2tent had been applied for. He was without means to perfect his models. but recently through friends in On- tario he had succeeded in interesting Frank P. McGrath, a retired wealthy manufacturer in Grand Rapids, Mich., in his scheme, and from letters found In his possession it was learned that McGrath had agreed to advance all the money necessary to perfect the machine and place it on the market

 Little is known of the old man by any of his companions in the lodging house. He had spend nearly all his time working on drawings for his in- vention.
 He was a Canadian and had confded to Clerk Seymour, of the lodging house, that he formerly had held eU- eellent positions in the dominion, but as to the reason for his leaving there or concerning his life in Chicago he had little to say.
 His body was removed to Rolston's undertaking rooms, g Adams street, where an inquest was held.

GREAT IS MEXICO.
so WRITES A CORRESPONDENT
 FROM CAPITAL.
Many Manufacturing Concerns Born Every Week-Cigarette Trade Is Ex
 banding - Paper Mills and Cotton Machinery. n

At home and abroad there is plenty of confidence in the future of Mexico In Europe we have seen it evidenced the past week in the adoption of plan for the conversion of Mexieo's gold debt of $97, 900, 900, bearing $ her cent interest, to a per cent basis writes a correspondent from the Cit> or Mexico. Here we have seen. in thu past ten days, the incorporation of several new companies for manufac turing purposes, the formation of a cigarette makers league or trust, for It amounts to that, and the putting ot nearly $1,000,000 more into a new ci- garette factory; fresh orders for cot ton mill machinery, and a remarkably good showing in customs receipts for this time of the year. Mexicans have more money than ever before to buy foreign goods, and they are importing heavily. Even with all the new cotton mills and print works, the home sup- ply of cotton textiles is insufficient fot the demand, and imports in that line, beth from the United States and Flu rope, are increasing, a fact which in- spires cotton mill people to order more machinery and to put up new mills. A large new paper mill, backed by Mexican and resident Spanish capital, IS to bP built near this city, and the machinery Is already ordered. A great extent of the streets of this city are to be paved with asphalt, and already the principal streets are handsomely paved with concrete blocks, which make an ideally smooth pavement. The new Banco Central is running up heavy list of depositors, and has S3,G00,000 paid-in capital, and will, in a year or two, double that amount. Shares in the new American bank have sold this week at heavy premium, and the institution is doing a large and very profitable business. The older banks report good business in 1899, and will soon increase their capital, the National to have $22 ,000 effective capital and the London $19,000,000. These are business facts, which show how Mexico is booming along under the hrm rule of the present admins tration, which is business from the word go. to employ an effective colo. quialism.
 President Diaz is taking life little easier, turning over many matters, which be once felt he must supervise, to his ministers, and yet he puts ln his fourteen to sixteen hours day, which is wonderful work for states man 69 years old.
 The federal government has adopted new rules regarding concessions, and people seeking charters must give the best Of references and be prompt with their forfeit money. Mere spectators no longer have any chance, either with the federal or city government. Mexi- co has reached a point where her credit is first class, and can demand the ref erences of people seeking government

Catching a Rogua

Tn a great city like London there are many importers, who make busi- ness of appealing to public sympathy by shamming sickness. Not only do they pretend to be crippled or blind, but they also feign epilepsy and other diseases, and are taken to public hos pitals in a state of assumed uncon- sciousness. One of these imposters was carried into hospital from po- lice van and laid on a sofa in the ex- amining room. The resident surgeon had a keen eye, and watched the pa- tient closely. As the apparently un' conscious man was deposited on the sofa a few pennies fell out of his pockets and rolled on the floor. The patient opened his eyes and made quick movement to recover the coins. Then he bethought himself and drew back.
 The doctor accustomed to deal with such pretenders, turned to an attend ant and remarked:
 "You notice, probably, how limp the man is, and how heavily he is breath ing. It is a bad case, and needs im- mediate and severe treatment. Fetch the battery
 There was a suspicious trembling ot the patients hands, and the loud breathing ceased. When the battery was produced, the doctor added, brisk ly:
 "He scarcely breathes. You must be quick. Let him have the full power of the battery. Half charge will not answer the purpose.
 The patient by this time had opened his eyes from sheer terror, and before the wires were well in hand he had found his voice. Sitting bolt upright on the sofa, he shrieked:
 eLet me go, I beg of you. There IS

be secured. Indian Territory has
been combating a union with Okla

knowledge that we have things of
value which she would like to par
ticipate in. But Oklahoma is not
so sure about the desirability of
her neighbor for desired union.
Indian Territory has abused us
in many ways and she will have to
kneel outside. the door abjectly and
do penance for the calumny she has
heaped upon US. | believe, how.

Smith Again Expelled.

yinita, /. T.. Oct. 25.-Three
weeks ago F. NJ. Smith, la-yer.
broker and hay dealer, was ex-
PEELED from the Indian Territory
for declining to pay export royalty
on hay shipped, which is exacted
by the Cherokee law. The Curtis
act abolished Indian jurisdiction,
but contained a clause to the effect
that all Indian revenues were to be
collected by United States officers.
Smith declined to pay and was ex-
PEELED under the clause in the
Do nited States statute which per-
mits this action when the secretary
of the interior deems the presence
of any person upon an Indian res
ervation Objectionable.
Smith returned and proceedings
were promptly begun for the col
lection of the $1,000 penalty. The
jury disagreed. Yesterday the or
iginal proceedings were quashed
in the federal court by the district
attorney, on an understanding with
the interior department officials,
and last night Smith was rearrest-
ed by an Indian policeman and
taken across the line to Chetopa,
Kan. 1t is not believed he will
again venture back. The govern
ment is determined the hay ship
pers. coal men, merchants and cat
tlemen shall pay the revenue pro-
vided by the Indian statutes.
