FEEDING 5000 PRISONERS.
Filipinos Say That Aguinaldo is ID

Filipinos Say That Aguinaldo is Do
ing So
London, Dec. 3.-There is a notice.
able incursion of Filipinos into Lon
don, and the Paris report, subse-
duently denied, that Agoncillo, Aguin-
aldo's agent in Europe, was contem-
plating going TO Hong Kong to rccr-
ganlze there the Filipino transport
and resupply the Filipinos with mu-
nitions of war, has given rise to the
belief that the Filipmos in Eul.no..
are contemplating a new campaign.
A representative of the Associated
Press interviewed one ,,t the mnss
prominent members of the European
iunta, who had just returned from
Paris and Madrid. He said:
I'VE are planning no new campaign.
There is no reason why Agoncilio
should go to Hong Kong to give the
Filipinos a further supply of the mu-
nitions of war. The fact that Agon-
clio has just leased home in Paris
shows he intends to remain there
and watch events. The reports of
our committees at Kobe, Yokohama.
Macao, Batavia. Hong Kong and
Bangkok show that they are all
working well. This is also evidenced
by the fact that 10000 rifles We're
Struggled into Manila last month.
The war is no nearer the end than
ever. Filipino resources are still
great. as can be judged by the fact
that Aguinaldo is continuing to keep
and feed 5000 Spanish prisoners

Meeting at Berlin.


Meeting at Berlin.
Berlin, Dec. 4.--Mr. Kruger has
abandoned his proposed visit to Ber-,
lin owing to the receipt of an off
cial intimation that Emperor
William regrets that in consequence
of previous arrangements, he will
be unable to receive him. The Boer
statesman will therefore proceed
direct from Cologne to Holland. He
photographed to this effect this after
noon.
The Cologne Gazette. in an inspir-
ed comminique says: "Mr. Kruger's
visit is not agreeable TO Germany
his aim being to obtain intervention
in South Africa. 1t would be a
grave political mistake, it would be
even a great crime, to allow him to
entertain even a spark of hope chat
Germany will render him any prac-
teal support" This declaration is
accompanied with reproaches, Mr..
Kruger being charged with having
encouraged useless guerilla WARFARE
and having disreearded Germany's
advice when he migho have still fol-
lowed it.
The press generally strikes the
same note.

In Germany Christmas trees have
been known ever since the introduc-
ton of Christianity. Before that
time the dressing of tree with cam
dies and presents was a feature Of
the midwinter Druitlical festival, So
that, in fact, the German Christmas
tree dates back to an era before the
dawn OF written history.

ment has given the matter an en-
phatic denial. There is no difference
of opinion, and the administration is
more than satisfied with the work be-
ing performed by Iowa's distinguish
ed diplomat
Il 1t developed yesterday the chief
point in the exchanges concerning
China which thave been going on dur
ing the last few days among the
powers relates to the wisdom of de-
hvering an ultimatum to China, using
the expression "ultimatum" in the
text OF the demand to he handed to
the Chinese ENJOYS, involving the pos.
slbllity OF resulting in declaration
of war against China in case the de-
mands of the ultimatum are not COM
pied with. 1t appears some of the
powers desired the express use of the
word "ultimatum" in the demand rel
atlve to the decapitation or other ex-
IRENE punishment of eleven princes
or other high officials responsible for
the outrages, and this view of using
the most extreme term of diplomacy
seems to have found favor with the
ministers at Picking. When it be-
came known at several capitals a con-
siderable dissent became manifest.
About week ago Japan took the in
itiative in the appeal for modera-
ton. This received favorable con-
sideration of the United States,
France, Russia and probably Great
Britain. About the Same time Sec
rotary Hay took steps to express the
view of this government wais mad
Sisable to proceed to the extent of an
ultimatum against China, but the de-
mand should not be beyond what
China reasonably might have the
power to comply with. The unanim-
ity of sentiment among the powers
gives grounds for the belief that
the demands of the ministers will be
modified by the omission of the term
"ultimatum," although it is not yet
clear what the final attitude of the
remaining powers, Germany, Austria
and Italy, will be.

SPEEDY TEST TO HE MADx.
supreme Court to Pass ON Vi. Tltu
A,npnN,,,n,t

Iowa City, Dec. 3.-Attorney Gen
eral Milton Remley, Senator Titus
and Attorney General-elect Null
Ian of Iowa, in conference here,
formulated a plan whereby they
nope to secure a speedy opinion
OF the supreme court and put an end
to the Titus amendment muddle.
While they refused to state their
plan which was agreed upon, it is
understood that they have made ar
engagements for test case in the SUI
preme court at an early date. The
case as proposed will be brought up
in district court before a judge
who will give a speedy decision and
VIII at once be carried up as the
case is tried.
The supreme court, it is under-
stood, is not adverse to advancing
the case on the calendar and render,
ing decision at once. The argu-
ments will probably be submitted
to the supreme court in advance and
everything be in readiness in order
that decision can be rendered
promptly. Ii is expected that the
decision will be made the first day
the supreme court is in session. None
OF the state officers is disposed to
question the right of these men,
elected at the last election, to take
charge of he Offices and none is Wills
ing to make the test.
The case, as proposed, will be an
earnest controversy and it is ex-
Pected that both Remley and Mullan
Will champion the cause of the newly
elected man who viii. make the test.
Both of these men believe that the
amendment should be construed &C,
cording to the intent of the author;
Senator Titus, who thought he was
framing bill which would lengthen
the terms of the o4..ccrs whose terms
expired on the first Monday in Janu-
airy, 1902.

In the ''banqueting hall of the cit,
chambers at Glasgow celebrated
painter has Just completed a panel in
Mural decorating" giving the sup
posed origin of the legend. The paint
ing represents the banks of the Clyde,
with fishermen and their nets, Saint
Mungo taking ring from a salmon's
mouth, with the queen and her ladies
looking on. The origin of the legend
Is as follows: Langvorth, queen of
6trathclyde, lost a ring given to her by
her husband. King Mederech, and he
threatened to take her life for her
carelessness. The queen asked Saint
Mungo for help, and he ordered fish
erman to cast his net into the Clyde.
The fisherman did as he was ordered,
and brought up salmon with ring
Ia his mouth. Then the king and the
queen lived happily ever after.
