uussars as Exhibits.

An interesting and odd exhibit in the Paris exposition will be a hall de- voted to the hussars of the world. Paintings showing the great deeds of men of this arm of the service will form large part of the exhibit. Ger many and Austria-Hungary will be represented particularly well, for the simple reason that the hussars of these two armies always have been men who did really wonderful acts of bravery and daring. Spain will have an inter- esting group, showing her famous Praicesa Hussars, and Italy will show her Neapon Bourbons.

One Reason Why American Machinery
 Is Not More Popdlar.
 A gentleman who has travelled much and has very large interest in Amer lean export trade said, in conversation the other day, that the principal draw back to wider extension of American commerce in certain parts of the world Is that manufacturers in the United States do not sufficiently study the wants, the customs and the tastes of their prospective customers. For ex- ample" he said, "a certain American firm sent some electrical goods, which were decorated in green, to Japan. They did not sell any. No Japanese would bring such things into his house; it would mean an invitation to the evil deities. Green is an evil color in Japan. What a Japanese wants is red things. Upon this simple matter ot color rests the failure of that manu- faeturer to succeed in export trade" \ German employer of labor sa |: .I like American machines so far as their performance of their work is con- cerned, but they demoralize my men. They come here in sober colors of paint and with no bright parts. The men who attend the machines do not have any brass to keep clean or any surfaces to rub, andHhey get lazy. The German workman needs to be kept busy with things of this sort.'' Here. now, are some practical instances of what the American manufacturer must leara before he can attain the widest success in the new field of foreign trade. Do not send to Germanay eata- logues in the English language or to Japan things decorated in green, or to the isthmus of Panama anything with blue spots in it. It looks as if we need in this country a commercial kinder garten in which such information as the above may be taught to those of a curious and inquiring mind for their everlasting benedt aHa profit.

TO MARRY PRINCE CARLOS
Queen Regent Announces the Be-

Queen Regent Announces the Be-
trothal OF Princess Asturias.
MADRID, Dec. 17.-The queen regent
sent to the cortez today communica-
ton relative to the forthcoming mar
riage of the Princess Asturius with
Prince Carlos, second son of the Count
of Caserta, head of the Syrian branch Of
the Bourbon family.
An exciting debate followed on ac-
count Of the bearing the union may
have on the succession. There has been
so much preliminary controversy that
Queen Christina is in mind to have the
matter settled. Princess Marie de Las
Mercedes of Spain, princess Of Asturias,
is the eldest of the three children born
to the late King Alfonso XII The death
of her father when she was but years
old made her sovereign until the birth
of the present king, six months later.
She is now heiress presumptive to the
crown.
In June last it was reported that the
young princess was to be betrothed to
Prince Albert of Belgium, but contrary
to all calculations she fell in love with
Don Carlos and said she would marry
no one else.
On account of his belonging to fam
lily of distinct Carlist tendencies and I'M
important so far as royalty is concerned,
state reasons are very much against the
union

LONDON, Dec. II. - The release OF
prisoners and other incidents reported
by General Kitchener fail to reassure
the public. The last phase Of the cam
paign is remarkable for the miscalcula
tions on the British side and excites
many Outbursts of candor. The staying
power of the Beers has been underesti
mated and their preparations for con
tinulng hostile operations i'll the extrem-
ity of their fortunes by means of buried
stores of ammunition have not been
taken into account. Nicholson's Mex
has been reproduced within 10 miles OF
Pretoria, with an isolated command sur
rounded and forced to surrender after
its ammunition had been exhausted, and
with the main body retiring without
making any effective effort to retrieve
the disaster.
The generals now receiving the con-
gratulations of their friends upon their
return frankly confess that they have
an uncomfortable feeling in being toast
ed and feasted Lord DundOnald said
before the public banquet at the Hotel
Cecil that he could not help regretting
his premature return, since the war evil
IDENTIFY had not ended, and a soldier
place was at the front. Lord Methuen's
friends are emphasizing the fact that
while he has been more sharply criti-
cised than any other general except Cat
acre, he has at least remained on the
fighting line, bent on seeing the job
through.
The recrudesence of hOstilities cannot
be minimized as guerilla warfare.
The latest editions of the newspapers
all comment upon the seriousness Of the
defeat which befell the British force
under Clements last Thursday.
The Telegraph considers that the re-
verse was only rendered possible by the
carelessness of those in command and
that heavy responsibility rests upon
some one for neglecting to see that the
troops were i'll position to hold the hill
against all corners. Broadwood's con-
duct seems inexplicable and people are
asking why there was no cooperation
between him and Clements.
The authorities are quite alive to the
ugliness of the present situation in
South Africa and an additional con-
tingent of 5000 mounted infantry will
shortly be sent out.
General Kitchener, it is stated, is to
be allowed an absolutely free hand.

LONDON, Dec 17.-Discussing the at.

Westminster Gazette says today that it
is perfectly natural the United States
should desire to exact guarantees against
the use of the Nicaragua canal by an
enemy in the event of war.
The article i'll question declares, how
ever, that because America desires
concession is not sufficient reason for
taking it without giving an equivalent
in return, and suggests that "a way out

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE territory
until recently in dispute between Bra

creed to belong to Brazil, may shortly
become the subject of dispute between
France and the United States under the
Monroe doctrine.
1t is now reported that some French
inanciers, anticipating that the decis
ion would be favorable to France, had
already invested their capital in thi:
territory, They are now, it is said, try.
ing to engineer a deal by which the
French government will buy this land
from Brazil.
The state department has absolutely
no knowledge on the subject Its at.
tention has, however, been called to the
matter and the attempt of the French
capitalists to secure government aid III
getting their money back will be watch
ed with interest There is hardly any
question, it is said, at the state depart,
ment that such action would be a viola.
ton of the Monroe doctrine and would
call forth a protest from the United
States.
As long as the claim was in it's origi.
nal form, France might have maintained
that she was simply rectifying her
boundaries and that the United States
could not object to that. France has,
however, forfeited the right to make
that claim by submitting the matter to
arbitration and getting an adverse de,
cision

PARIS, Dec. 1.-THE Cross of Legion
of Honor has been conferred upon
Madame Berosthorn, wife of the Aus
trian charge d'affaires at Picking, for
her heroic conduct and assistance to the
French during the siege of the legations.
Only one other foreign woman has been
thus decorated. She is Marie Schelle-
neck, a Belgian woman, who disguised
her sex and joined Napoleon's army as
a private soldier and became a corporal,
a sergeant and then lieutenant.
She served II years, went through -
campaigns and was eight times wounded.
Napoleon decorated her personally in
1903.
This Napoleonic affair is recalled in
the decoration of Madame Berosthorn,
who, with her husband, is rewarded for
their personal bravery in defending the
French legation after Minister Pichon
had gone to the British legation.
