THE COGHLAN CASE.
The Captain Is Riprimanded 10y Sec
rotary Long, and the Affair
Is Practically Closed.

Washington, April 27.-The case of
Capt. Coghlan may be considered as
finally closed. The German anbassa-
dor, DIR. Won Holeben, called at the
white house Wednesday afternoon, and
had a conference on the subject with
the president of such a satisfactory ma
ture that the matter was regarded as
settled. The president explained the
course the navy department had taken
in administering reprimand to Capt.
Coghlan. 1t was also pointed out that
the officers explanation of the incident
stated that his utterances had been
much exaggerated. On the part of the
ambassador there was every disposition
to deal as lightly with the matter as
possible, and not permit it to become a
source of friction. During the day the
navy department administered to Capt.
Coghlan the reprimand which had been
determined upon Tuesday. This was in
the form of letter from Secretary
Long to the officer. 1t is stated at the
department that the letter will not be
made public before the officer has re-
ceived it, and probably not then.

HELD UP LORD ROTHSCHILD.
How General Kitchener Made the
Great Banker Contribute to
q Fund.

when Kitchener was starting his
list for the & 100000 he demanded for
the Gordon college, he was advised that
the first step he could take was to at
tend lunch in the city which Lord
Rothschild would give. The lunch was
duly ordered; the guests were met; the
table set. In the middle there was an
awkward pause. Lord Rothschild was
observed TO leave Lord Kitchener after
u short conversation, and as Lord
Rothschild's face was somewhat
flushed and his eye shone brightly, it
was easily seen that the great banker
was not pleased. And he wasn't.
For what had happened was this:
Lord Kitchener, with that shrewd sense
he has-especially where money is con-
cerned-saw that the amount of the
subscriptions of others would largely
depend on the amount with which Lord
Rothschild would start the list He
fixed that amount in his own mind at
6 5000. When Lord Rothschild came
up to him Lord Kitchener asked with
characteristic bluntness what amount
he wished to subscribe. One thousand
pounds replied Lord Rothschild, lit
tie taken aback. 1 want 5,0O0,' said
Kitchener; and, moreover, unless / get
it, l shan't stay 10 lunch Lord Roths-
child is generous-the generosity of the
family is as well known, indeed, as its
wealth-but stand-and-deliver mes
sage of this kind was something more
than even the most generous of men
would like. And that was why Lord
Rothschild looked angry.
THE news spread through the room;
surprise and horror were on every face.
and several of the distinguished guests
went up to Kitchener to demonstrate.
Wolseley at the head. They might as
well have talked to the Egyptian
Sphinx. Five thousand pounds or /
go!' said Kitchener. He got the 1000
with the result he had anticipated
four other millionaires had TO follow
Lord Rothschild's example, and when
the lunch was over the subscription for
the Gordon college was wen started
with G $4,000. 1t is Kitchener all over
His love of money-not for himself, be
i. understood, but for his cause-is so
consuming that he is said to take posi-
tive pleasure in doing a man if he can
thereby save the exchequer and reduce
expenses. And he is just as merciless
with the bodies and souls as with the
pockets of men. As he is useful or use
less to the great work, so is man re-
garded by Kitchener. He has no favor
ties any more than he has animosities.
An officer gets i'll; at once he is sent
back. Years of service, enthusiasm in
the cause, bravery, skill, all in vain;
he is useless mouth. and back he goes.
This is the kind of leader to succeed,
but not the kind of one to be loved.
And Kitchener is not loEed. "-Philadel-
phia Inquirer.
