PRESS SCORES ENGLAND.
The press today unanimously scores
England's action in the Bundesrath seiz-
ure, which Is characterized as gross In
solence," and as Calculated again 10 IL
lustratel the need of a powerful Ger
man navy to render such overbearance
on the part Of England impossible in the
future"
The National zeitung strongly argues
that England had no right to interfere
with the Bundesrath, and expresses the
hope that she has not adopted q flexible
theory regarding contraband.
The Lokal Anzeiger surn1ises that there
must have been serious quarrel between
the commanders of the Bundesrath and
the Magicienne, if the latter officer "over
stepped his prerogative in carrying off
the steamer" and expresses the hope that
Germany will speedily enforce the re-
lease of the vessel
Even the moderate Vossische Zeitung
calls the proceeding characteristic of
English insolence," and adds that "the
whole attitude CT the English before Dlll-
goa bay provokes a general protest.
1t is significant that today the German
flottenverein distributed in Berlin 100000
copies of strongly worded pamphlet,
pointing out the need Of a strong German
navy.
From a well informed authority 1t is
learned that preliminary negotiations
have been going on for. some time be-
tween Great Britain and Germany, ia
London, for the purpose of extending the
scope of the treaty regarding the Portu-
guese colonies but the Asiatic colonies
of Portugal are not comprised in the eX-
tension proposal.
Despite the semi-official disavowals,
several of the leading German papers be-
!ieve in the existence of a secret treaty
concerning Delagca bay, but they dis
ere dit the statements of the Lokal An
zeiger regarding it's nature. The Ham
burgerischer Correspondent says:
1.-THE treaty mas no definite form, and
1t would only come into force in case
Portugal should consent to sell portion
of her colonies. 1T is confined solely to
her African possessions. Russia has seen
the treaty and has offered no bjections.',
The Vossische Zeitung also asserts that
the treaty Goes net mention Pcrtugal's
Asiatic possessions.

RUSSIA'S QUEER ALPHABET.
One Reason Why People Of Other Nations Sci.
dom Learn Language.

dom Learn Language.
Chicago Chronicle.
There are, perhaps, fewer learned
men who are familiar with the Rus.
sian language than of that of any
other people. This is largely due to
the fact that at the very threshold OF
the Russian language one is confront
ed by the alphabet, and most FORM
liable obstacle it is to linguistic study.
Cadmus, with prophetic sympathy
for the modern schoolboy, stopped
short at twenty four letters when he
invented Greek, but Cadmuskoffo-
vitchsky Gas his Russian prototype is
calledD launches no fewer than thirty
five on the guileless foreigner.
Some of these, it is tue, have the
same form as Roman characters, but
as their sound is usually entirely dif-
ferent this similarity is rather an ad-
ditional stumbling block than help.
Others, again, resemble our letters
turned upside down or wrong side
about or otherwise contorted.
There is one letter for which we
conceived profound respect, not un-
mixed with awe.
1t resembles the figure III on q
clock dial and has the appalling sound
OF "chtch." When We came across q
word containing this letter we gazed
upon it in silent admiration. Any at
tempt to pronounce it would, we felt.
prove fatal to our incisors, and consid-
ering the high fees charged by good
dentists we could not afford to run
any risks.
Another curious specimen, like
small b with a projecting snout on
top. has absolutely no sound whatever
and is defined as "final mute" In
spite Of Cor, perhaps, on account of
its silence it is greatly in evidence, no
word of any size being considered COM
plete without it. Its only purpose,
apart from that of an ornament, seems
to be to warn the reader that the pre-
ceding word is in Russian and that he
must not try to pronounce it accord
ing to western rules.
When q foreigner writes his name
in Russian he invariably tacks this
"final mute" on to it. 1t is regarded
as subtle compliment TO the Russian
nation and doubtless has due weight
with the secret police.

Teddy Roosevelt's speeches are the
wonder OF the age. When he gets on
"the stump" and out of reach OF Han
mas voice he cuts loose and makes the
fur fly. At Minneapolis a few weeks
ago he spoke an hour. and Hanna WAS
occupied two weeks in apologizing to
one element and explaining to
another. He made another speech in
Saratoga the other day equally as
rank. In that he declared that
"every vote not cast for Mckinley is a
vote for reputation and disorder"
Hanna will be obliged to put him
under discipline again. The New
York Journal summarizes one of Mr..
Roosevelt's speeches as follows, and
as they are all alike the summary will
