Otis has informed the War De-
partment that he has decided not
to take advantage of the authority
given him by the Seer etary of
War to enlist native troops in the
Philippines. In his dispatch on
the subject General Otis says that
it is not timely to do this. He
has, however, enlisted go Macca-
bee natives, but only for scouting
purposes. They will not be or

The Alaskan Boundary.
In my last annual message | referred
to the pending negotiations witA Great
Britain in respect to the Dominion Of
Canada. BY means of an executive
agreement a joint high commission had
been created for the purpose of ad-
justirg all unsettled questions between
the United States and Canada. embrace
ing twelve subjects, among which We're
the question of fur seals, the fisheries
of the coast and contiguous inland
waters, the Alaskan boundary, the
transit of merchandise in bond, the
alien labor laws, mining rights, reci-
procity in trade, revision of the agree
ment respecting naval vessels in the
great lakes, a more complete marking
Of parts OF the boundary, provision for
the conveyance of criminals, and for
wrecklng and salvage.
Much progress had been made by the
commission toward the adjustment Of
many OF these questions, when ii be-
came apparent that an irreconciliablc
difference of views was entertained re-
sOecting the delimitation of the Alas
kan boundary In the failure of an
agreement as to the meaning of Ar
ticles and of the treaty of 1925. be-
tween Russia and Great Britain, which
defined the boundary between Alaska
ana Canada, the American commission
ers proposed that the subject of the
boundary be laid aside and that the
remaining questions of difference be
proceeded with. some OF which were so

! bility of settlement. This being de-
clined by the British commissioners, ar
adjournment was taken until the boun>
dairy should be adjusted by the two
governments. The subject has been re-
ceiving the careful attention which its
Importance demands. with the resuE
that modus ViVendi, for provisional
demarcatiOns in the region about the
head OF Lvnn canal, has been agreed
upon; and it is hoped that the nego-
tiations now in progress between the
two governments will end in an agree
ment for the establishment and delimi-
tation of permanent boundary.
Apart from these questions growing
out of our relationship with our north-
ern neighbor, the most friendly dis.
position and ready agreement have
marked the discussion of numerous
matters arising in the vast and inti~
mate Intercourse of the United States
with Great Britain.
This government has maintained an
attitude Of neutrality in the unfortun-
ate contest with Great Britain and the
Beers of South Africa. We have re-
mained faithful to the precept of avoid
ing entangling alliances as to affairs
not our direct concern. Had circum-
stances suggested that the parties to
the quarrel would have welcomed any
kindly expression of the hope of the
American people that war might bs
aVerted, good offices would have been
gladly rendered. The United States
representative at Pretoria was early
instructed to see that all neutral AmerA
ican interests be respected by the COM
batants This has been an easy task
in view of the positive declaration that
the property rights of our CitiTenS
should be observed. Upon the with
drawal Of the British agent from Pre-
toria, the United States consul was
authorized, upon the request Of the
British government and with the as
sent of the South African and Orange
Free State governments, to exercise
the customary good offices Of a neutral
for the care Of the British interests.
In the discharge Of this function ]
am happy to say that abundant oppor-
tunitv has been afforded to show the
impartiality of this government to-
wards both the cOmbatants

Oriental Rugs.

The Orient furnishes us with
what novelties we get in rugs.
While Our own country may
set the pace in modern design
ing, we do not conceive the
weird effects, the happy color
combinations, the perfect blend
Ing of shades that comes from
the skill of our cousins across
the sea.
SO we buy the oriental rugs
as we do other art treasures
but sell them to you at Ameri-
canizcd prices.
There are many of them here
for you to sea special collec-
ton gathered with great care.
We could entertain you with a
string of names, such as they
are called, but it would add none
to their beauty.
Art connoisseurs will appre-
ciate the show, we feel assured
that the little prices will sell
them.

German Relations.


Our relations with Germany continue
to be most cordial The increasing in
timacv of direct association has been
marked during the year by the grant
ing permission in April for the landing
on our shores Of cable from Borkum
Emden, on the North sea, by wav of
the Azores, and also by the conclusion
on Sept. of parcels post convention
with the German empire. In all that
promises closer relations of intercourse
and commerce and a better under
standing between two races having so
many traits In common, Germany can
be assured of the cordial co-operation
of this government and people. We
may be rivals In many material paths,
but our rivalry should be generous and
open, ever aiming toward the attain-
ment of larger results and the mutual
ly beneficial advancement of each in
the line OF its especial adaptabilities.
The several governments of the en-
pire seem relUCtaat to admit the na-
tiOnal excellence of our food produc-
tiOns and to accept the evidence we
constantly tender OF the care with
which their purity is guarded by rigid
inspection from the farm, through the
slaughter house ana the packing es-
tabliShments, to the port of shipment.
Our system of control over exported
food staples invites examination from
any quarter and challenges respect by
its efficient thoroughress.
1t is to be hoped that in time the two
governments will act In common ac-
cord toward the realization of their
common purpose to safeguard the pub
lie health and to insure the purity and

A Thrilling Entertainmen emit.

Perhaps the most thrilling entertain
ment on record was one witnessed in
the Romagna. which was as unexpected
as it was unauthorized. It was the last
day of the carnival, and the theater of
Formlipopoli was packed with a crowd
of spectators awaiting the rise of the
curtain. After a long delay the curtain
went up, only to disclose a stage occu-
pied by 100 brigands facing the audi
ence with pointed rifles.
The leader of the strange cast, II
Passatore. one of the most ruthless rob-
bers of any age, bowed profoundly to
the horror stricken audience and ex-
planned that the theater was surrounded
by his men, that the first man who at
tempted to escape would be shot, aud
that he and his merry men would pro-
coed to collect any money and valuables
they had with them.
The brigand and his men then de-
scended from the stage and stripped the
audience Of their possessions to the val
ne of $500, 900. He then thanked them
all in a graceful speech and left the
theater. 1t is comforting to know that
he and 100 of his brigands were cap.

heavy penalty for their evenings en-

The most remarkable fishing in the
world is that practiced III catching the
sturgeon in the frozen rivers of the
Ural mountains. Fishing on horseback
seems impossible, yet this is literally
true of the fishing for sturgeon.
The Russian Cossacks go fishing in
large bands. They mount their horses
and ride across the frozen river until
they are over the place where the cur
rent runs strongest. There they dis
mount and cut through the thick layer
of ice until they have formed a little
pool of open water, extending across the
current almost from shore to shore.
A net. which is sunk to the bottom CT
the river, is stretched across the stream
at the open space, SO that not a fish
a swim past it. The horses are re-
mounted. and the Cossacks ride up the
river for a distance of four or five miles.
Here the band turns about and rides
down over the thick ice covered stream,
forming a long line across it. They urge
their horses at full gallop.
The laundering hoofs of the horses
terrify the fish, and they charge madly
ahead of the approaching cavalcade.
Great swarms of fish choke up the
stream in the mad effort to escape the
terrific noise that is pursuing them, and
in this way they are driven down the
stream to the net.

Eyes Which See Big,

The other day a man spoke in my
presence about a certain real or fancied
popularity Of some animals which, he
said. caused the eye to dilate when the
animal was subject to sudden fight,
thus transforming the pupil of the eye
into a magnifying glass of high power.
"Why," he said, ''if a wildcat fright
ems a horse, his eyes enlarge so that the
wildcat looks to him as big as a tiger"
I have quit saying 1 don't believe
a thing just because I never heard of
it before, but, now, what do you
think of this? I can imagine a man of
the stone age telling this sort of tale to
his offspring, the while their prehistoric
little eyes grew wide with wonder and
amaze, and then when they ran out of
the ave to play I see him looking over
at the old lady and smiling. Forest

Blowing a Cork Into a Bottle.

Ask some of the company if they can
blow a small bit Of cork which you have
placed in the mouth of a bottle so that
it will go into the body Of the bottle.
Lay the bottle on the table upon it's
side and place the bit of cork about an
inch or less inside the open end. The
uninitiated will blow until they get red
in the face, and the cork will invariably
come out of the bottle instead of going
into it. There is a simple reason for it
too. The direction of the air forced by
the one blowing brings it against the
bottom of the bottle. The air congresses
within the bottles walls and must find
an outlet therefore it is turned and fore
ed cut at the only vent the bottle has,
necessarily blowing the cork with it.
But take a common lemonade straw,
place the end of it near the cork in the
bottle neck, blow very gently-and the
cork rolls in.
