THE CZAR'S ILLNESS
Rumor In Rome That 1t Was Caused by
Poisoning

Rome, Nov 15.-A rumor is current
in Rome that the illness of the czar is
due to poisoning, and it is asserted that
cipher kilograms have been received at
the Vatican saying that an attempt was
made to poison both the emperor and
empress, but that the latter was not af-
fected. This story, however, is not be-
lieved. King Victor Emmanuel tele-
graphed for definite information and got
a quick reply that the czar was as well
as could be expected.

The statement follows:
MANY large passenger and cargo

carriers. They are now as long as
many Atlantic lines, but are much
wider and deeper.
Following are the principal dimen

decks extending the whole length of the
ship, with three additional partial decks
The carrying capacity of
these ships is tremendous, and the holds
are such that $4,000 tons of coal can be
carried. The lightweight carrying ca
pacity at normal draft is stated as 2O.-
900 TONS Passengers will also be car

provided for nearly one thousand pas

have twin screws, triple expansion en-

ANGLO-AMERIC4N FRIENDSHIP.
Ambassador Chonte Reciprocates Wish
That 1t May Never he Disturbed.

London, Nov 15.--Mr. Choate, the
United States ambassador, this evening
distributed prizes to students of the
Mechanics Institution at Burnley. Re
plying to an address from the mayor
and corporation of Burnley, he recipro-
Gated the wish that Anglo-American
friendship might never be disturbed.
Il venture to express the belief" he
said, that future national conflicts will
be in the fields of industry and COM
merce rather than the field of battle,
and that any nation which overin-
dulges in the destructive luxury of war
will fall sadly behind in the peaceful
arts"
Mr.. Choate added that it would not
do to rely too much upon Anglo Saxon
supremacy, as Germany was making a
bold bid. The United States, however
had no intention. he declared, of being
left behind.
