KAISER IN BENIGN MOOD
Compliments the French Who Fell at St
Privat.
Occasion Was the UnveiIinE of MOnu-
ment to Dead of the First
German Guards.

BERLIN August 1S.-Emperor William
yesterday unveiled a monument to the dead
of the Regiment of the First Guards on
the ST Privat battlefield, in the vicinity OF
Metz In the address which his majesty
made on the occasion he said
"Hallowed recollections attend today 5
festival, making hearts beat higher. My
first regiment of foot guards Is represented
by one company, its glorious flags and
many old comrades who fought and bled
on this spot. l unvei this monument In
remembrance, of those who fell on the field
of battle This ceremony also takes place
in the presence of my youngest regiment
and the whole army represented by the
troops of the 18th Corps. This is almost
the only regiment which has not hitherto
been represented by monument on this
blood-drenched field. Yet it has full claim
to one. Although it is nearly related by
history to my house. whose princes ana
kings it has been called upon to train up,
and though it might rightly, therefore, be
considered as family household regiment,
yet my grandfather did not hesitate Tor a
moment to sacrifice to the welfare of the
country trocus dear to him.
History tells us how the regiment fought,
bled and fulfilled Its oath, and how its
behavior evoked the praise and its sorrows
the tears of the great emperor. This rcgi-
ment, with me as its senior comradc, today
sets up Il memorial of stone to its heroes
who rest beneath the SWard.
The design Of this monument differs
from that usually placed on battlefields. n

fell here. For the French soldiers who
found a glorious grave at St. HriVat ais"
fought bravely and heroicaly for their
emperor and fatheriand. When our flags
are lowered in greeting before this bronze
statue and fluttcr mournfuily over the
graves of our dear comrades. may they
wave over the tOInbs of foes and whis-

brave dead. With deep thanks and an up
ward glance to the Lord Of Hosts for the
guidance He marcifuily vouchsafcs to
our great empC ror. We will recall that the
countless souls of ali those who once stood
face to face in hot encounter will look
down upon this day whence they stand
around the throne Of the Supreme Judge,
united in eternal peace
Emperor William strongly emphasized
the words "al'' and both in his utter
ances, when referring to ''all the brave
soldiers of both armies"

Will Occupy the Handsome Dwelling
of Mr.. A. G. Raruey

Oh n. u. barney.
Secretary Root has at last made satisfac-
tory arrangements Tor his residence in this
city during his term Of office. He has leased
the fine marble and white stone dwelling
at 1926 Rhode Island avenue. built and
owned by Mr.. Alfred c. Barney. 1t is op-
posite the former residence of General Sher-
idan and in close vicinity of Scott Circle
1t is of the largest and finest dwellings
in the city, and contains large ball room
and commodious dining room. The in
terror decoration of the house Is particular
ly fine, and makes 1t more than ordinarily
attractive from an artistic standpoint. The
walls Of the Railways are adorned with
portraits of some of the famous beauties of
the national capital painted by Mrs. Bar
the dining room are panelled in black wal
nut and the ceiling is also in carved walnut
after the style of ornamentation in feudal
castles in mediaeval times. A unique fea-
ture of the house Is the architectural de-
sign of the lower hall and stairway, which
is entirely of marble and stone carvings
the floor being tagged with marble. Mr.
and Mrs. Barney are now travelling in Eu-
rope. Last winter the house was occupied
by the family of Mr.. Phipps of the Carnegie
Steel Company Of Pittsburg who are now
at their shooting box in Scotland.
Secretary Root and his family will not
take possession of the house until October
81, and he will retain his present quarters
at the Arlington until that time. Mrs Root
and their two sons and young daughter
who has just made her debut, will arrive
here in time to join the Secretary in his
new home early in October.

CONSERVATIVES OVERPOWERED
Director Roberts Discusses the Iowa
Democratic Convention.

Democratic Convention.
Mr.. Roberts, the director of the mint
asked today about the, results of the
democratic state convention in Iowa. Mr.
Roberts is republican leader of the state
He said
THE Iowa democratic state convention
has Illustrated the dilemma of the party
everywhere. The cor servative wing of the
party wished to nominate Cato Sells for
governor. He was United States district
attorney in 1896, and was opposed to COM
mitting the party to 16 to l, but after Bry-
an was nominated he kept his record
straight by supporting the ticket. The con-
servatives simply asked for Sells and
silence upon the ratio. He might have been
nominated, but the populists served notice
that there could be no fusion on him, so
Sells withdrew his name.
THE democratic party in the west dare
not allow the populists to draw out of the
union that has been maintained since 1896.
They don't know what they would have
left The fact is that there is bound to be
a political party representing Bryanism and
the Chicago platform. There are people
enough in the country holding those views
to maintain party. If they should lose
control of the democratic organization,
which is not probable, they would promptly
appear with another organization. That is
the finality which all anti-Bryan move
ments within the democratic party must
face'

COST OF WILD BEASTS.
A Big Item in the Securing of Such
Animals.

A Big Item in the Securing of Such
Animals.
Hamburg" said the lion fancier, is
the headquarters for the trade in wild
beasts. All the menageries and ZOO
logical gardens of Europe are supplied
through Hamburg Perhaps an idea
as to the scarcity of the various beasts
may be gathered from the market price.
The prices vary according to the sup
Fly The demand is definite and varies
but little OF course, the values are
in some respect fictitious For instance,
it might reasonably expected that an
elephant born in Hamburg would be
sold at a more reasonable price than
one born in India, because the expense
of transportation Is saved, but nothing
of the kind occurs. An elephant is
worth from ST. 800 to $4,000, and this is
not so-caled educated elephant either.
"An educated elephant would be
from $4,000 to $4,000, according to the de-
gree Of education and the eagerness Of
the prospective purchaser. Young ele-
plants from Burmah can be bought for
S1,50o, and sometimes less. The female
is less expensive, because easier caught.
She can be educated better than the
male, and for menageries is more de-
sirabie.

PRESIDENT CLARK
May Retire from His Office In IA Short
Time.

President Charles p. Clark Of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Rail
road company has made the following
statement concerning recent reports
that he had resigned:
My health was improved by the six
months rest ordered by my physicians,
but being no longer young 1 am told
that / cannot with safety bear the re-
sponsibilities of my office indefinitely
1t may be best that / should decline re-
election and retire absolutely, or it may
be that | shall continue for a while in
the service of the property; precisely
what will happen cannot be determined
until our directors meet in September.'
The above statement does not come
as a surprise to the intimate friends of
President Clark, as Mr.. Clark, before he
left on his trip to Egypt, had given
some intima lions that he had this step
in contemplation. Though not young
man, Mr.. Clark is far from being all old
man, but he realizes that the strain OF
a great railroad corporation
is a great one, and that it is the part of
wisdom to remember that health, after
all, is the most priceless earthly COM
fort and treasure, and that to retain it
fully at his age and continue in place
of great care and responsibility is hard
ly to be expected.

COL. DOHERTY TO BE THERE

The Waterbury Globe says: Colonel
John B. Doherty, who used to be the
colonel Of the Second regiment, is going
to take few days off next week and go
to Camp Lounsbury. The colonel hasn't
been at a Connecticut state military
rendezvous since the year after he re-
signed his command of the Second, in
1895.
The visit of an ex-colonel is always
a matter of interest to q regiment and
there is no doubt but that Colonel
Doherty will receive greeting from
the scores of men who served under
and WITH him in the quarter of a CEN
tury he devoted to the service of the
commonwealth.
In many respects Colonel Doherty's
visit to camp will be notable, He an
ticipates a pleasant journey.
