Mr.. Powderly recommends that steps
be taken to debar immigration from
the islands in the same manner as Eu-
ropean immigration is now checked.
It won't do any harm, but it is ques-
ton whether the anxiety of the island
ers to set foot on the soil of the state
is great enough to demand any siren
uous measures.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.


Des Moines Leader: Naval Con-
structor Hobson seems to have achiev-
ed greater practical success in raising
and refitting vessels of Montejo's fleet
than he had with those of Cervera's
fleet. The Isla de Luzon and Don Juan
de Austria, both sunk by Dewey, after
raising, were taken to Hong Kong,
where they have undergone extensive
repairs. They are now ready for SER
vice and will be used in the blockade
of Luzon, a service for which their
light draft is said admirably to fit
them.

be sure of reaching their destination on

the Academy of Arts, and that with
that body should rest the decision as to
its value. Menzel cherished but little
respect for that body, however, and
asserted that it could boast of no
member competent to sit in judgement
on his picture. The King then resigned
himself to the inevitable, and granted
the 10000 thalers. Unfortunately, the
work, on coming into the possession of
His Majesty, aroused the indignation
of Queen Augusta. Mcneil, to use his
own words, is no friend of the fair sex
until they have arrived at an age when
one no longer needs to pay them court.
While he had impaired a dignified de-
meanor to King William I, his portrait
OF the Queen did not err on the side of
fiattery. Her Majesty, remembering
this, made the artist sensible of her
displeasure; and Mcneil, on the other
hand, did not neglect to take his artistic
revenge. In the famous water-color re-
presenting the departure of the King
to command the army in 1870 the Queen
IS depicted weeping, with her face
buried in her Handkerchief. In this way
did the painter avoid the possibility of
offending Her Majesty second time by
his artistic frankness.-Berlin CORE

MENZEL AND THE EMPEROR
WILLIAM


"reminiscences of Professor Mcneil
since his admission into the High Order
of the Black Eagle, have become
favorite topic with the writers in
German periodicals. 1t appears that
the Painter Of the Hohenzollerns," as
he has been justly called, did not in
the earlier stages of his career enjoy
the measure of esteem now extended
to him at the Berlin Court. Perhaps
his most famous picture is the Flute
Concert of Frederick the Great 1t
owes its peculiar charm to its light
effects. The artist has manipulated
with admirable skill the reflections cast
by the candles in the otherwise sombre
chamber at Sans Souci. In order to Sc
cure the most natural result Mcneil
petitioned the marshal of the court for
permission to have the chamber in
question lighted at his own expense
The petition was refused. Later on the
painter had serious disagreement with
the old Emperor William. The sum of
IL, 900 thalers had been granted him for
the preparation of his monumental
coronation picture. Owing to incessant
changes in the personnel of the chief
officers of State Mcneil found himself
obliged to add face after face and group
after group to his original design.
On the completion of the picture he
therefore demanded $4,000 thalers, in
stead of 10000 thalers originally agreed
on. This, however, the King refused to
grant. The artist then declared that he
would not part with the picture. but
would retain 1t for the decoration of
his own house. Prolonged negotiations
ensued, and at last the King proposed
that the work should be submitted to

All who received invitations to the
measuring party given by Grand Can
ton Sassacus in their rooms in the Yale
National bank building, last evening,
enjoyed delightful evening. Many of
them doubtless regretted the uneven
number of feet in their height, and the
short people that they were not taller
as every one measured was charged ex-
ira for the inches in their height, and
each one fed at the supper which en-
sued according to their capacity, deter
mined by the previous measurements.
The average amount paid was twenty
five cents, showing a measurement of
five feet ten inches
About one hundred members and their
friends attended and listened to the en-
joyable entertainment which was given.

been provided by the lady friends of

THE ROMAN FORUM EXCAVA-
TIONS

| The explorations now being carried
on in the Forum have aroused unusual
interest among the Italian public.
which is beginning to shake off its
remnants of it's past history. At every
new stone that comes to light there is
a rush to the Forum to see what it may
contribute to the Knowledge of the
topography and history of ancient
Rome. The most recent discovery is
one of fragments of large inscription
at the foot of the arch of Septimus
Severus. The inscription is cut in the
dark Roman stone known as travertino,
and dates from the end of the Republic.
The inscription seems to have been cut
on two columns and to have at least
two large blocks of stone. OF one
column only a few letters remain, too
little to give any certain indication of
the meaning, but it is hoped that before
long further excavations will lead to
the discovery of other fragments The
inscription on the other column is more
complete, though not sufficiently so to
enable archaeologists to conclude any
thing certain concerning it's real
character. 1t indicates measures of
length and breadth, and refers to
buildings and spots the names of which
are unfortunately on the missing
fragments. 1t seems that the inscrip-
ton refers to temple of Jupiter or of
Hercules, and to the Via Sacra and the
Via Nova. If the other fragments can
be brought to light the inscription will
have a particular value for the topo-
graphy Of the Forum.--London Globe.
