Says II Is Generally Fair and Often
MisreDrespntpu

New Haven. Conn, March 1.---White-
law Reid gave his second lecture be-
lore Yale students last night, He be-
gan by referring 10 the question asked
by the New York correspondents club
How can the influence of the press
be increased"
lie said that Catholic. Confucian and
agnostlc In the persons of Cardinal
Gibbons. WI Ting Fang and Andrew
Carnegie had replied In substance, tell
the truth and be fair"
III was an I'll omen" said Mr. Reid.
that influential sections Of the COM
munity seem sometimes to have per-
suaded themselves that many news
papers do not try either to tell the
truth or be fair, except in so far as
they feel sure II will pay. Yet In this
the critics judge the newspapers with
more unfairness and untruthfulness
than any Of the newspapers ordinarily
display themselves"
Mr.. Reid said that the most OF the
libel suits brought are unjust. "peo-
pie who have characters to protect" he
said resort too rarely TO the law
against libel, but those whose charac-
ter could hardly be injured are the first
under the guidance Of lawyers looking
for their pay 10 share In the verdict.
To institute libel suits rs a means OF
specializing on inadvertent errors.
"Unhappily the curious state Of the
law and the lingering effect OF old de-
clsions that ill-ht modern conditions
combine 10 promote this unfortunate
reversal Of what every jurst and eve
~ good citizen has at heart. 1t is the
rule OF compensatory damages that
makes the law which honest men hest

a perfect fountain Of speculation for
men who have no character 70 lose. 10
shrinking from disagreeable surround
ings, and consequently no reluctance to

The speaker gave instances where
slight errors had been taken advantage
of by persons who were guilty In
worse ways. He continued:

learning or the uprightness Of many

himself In favor Of complete change
IN the entire German railway service.
according to communication received
at the state department from Consul
General Gunther at Frankfort. At a
meeting recently held by Privy Coun-
cllor Rathenau, promoter OF great
electrical enterprises, the latter gave
the emperor detailed Information en-
phasizing the necessity OF constructing
electrical railways for direct and rapid
connection between Berlin and tne prin-
clpai cities of the German empire. lie
also brought out the fact that great
national triumph would be gained II
Germany could be the leader in the
creation Of an entire electrical railway

The German secretary Of war has
placed the military line from Berlin TO
Aossonat at the disposal Of the promot-
ers. who are urging upon the govern
ment this mode Of travel for expert
mental purposes. This line IL IS miles
IN length and II is hoped that a speed
OF from l2j to 1855 miles an hour can be
attained. The cars will accommodate
30 passengers each and will look very
much like the sleeping cars now In use.
II these trials prove satisfactory a great
step toward the utilization OF electricity
as the sole railway motive power viii

general, "the time will not be distant
when 1t viii be possible to travel. for

Negotiating With Russia Regard

C0NGER AND ERNEST SAT0W
Reject Proposition 10 Act as Repre-
sentstives OF the Ministers Conger
Relieved at iii, Own Requcsi.

London. March l-Sir Ernest Satow
and Mr., Conger, after consulting with
the missionaries. have decided, accord
Ing to the Pekin correspondent Of the
Morning Post, to reject the Chinese
proposition, made on the suggestion of
NJ. Pichon. that they should act as rep
resentatiyes of the ministers Of the
powers to discuss with the Chinese
plenipotentianes, the missionary ques-
ton and claims of native converts.
They are convinced, however, says
the correspondent, that the Chinese
are ready to agree to some arrange

Ing III Hung Chang hard to rush

says the Pekin correspondent OF the
Times. wiring Wednesday, More than
one power beside Japan and England
has demonstrated with China against
the negotiations that are proceeding at
St Petersburg
The time has come when the pow
ers would be justified in interfering In
order to prevent China negotiating
with single power. while the peace
negotiations remain unconcluded."
Commenting edi torially upon Its Pc

The United States and Germany
might perhaps be supposed to recognize

President Mckinley at all events seems
bent on peace at any price"
RELIEVED AT HIS OWN REQUEST.
Washington Feb. ga mlsunder-
standing appears TO exist in European
capitals as TO the conditions under
which Mr. Conger was replaced a, Pc
kin by Mr.. Rockhill In charge OF the,
negotiations for the United States. The
impression seems TO have gained cur
rencv that the change was made by the
state department because of dissatis-
faction with Mr. Conger's action.
II Is stated at the department that
Mr. Conger was relieved at his own re-
quest. and his cable message Of last
week strongly urged that he be allowed
to come home for sixty days, not init
mating any purpose on his part to
remain longer in the United States In
the same message Mr.. COnger recon-
mended that Mr. Rockhll be charged
with the conduct Of the negotiations,
and in so directing the state depart
ment had done nothing more than to
carry out the request Of Mr.. Conger.
The leave Of absence OF sixty days
Will really cover more than double that
period of time. for the leave only ope-
rates when the minister reaches the
confines Of the Unietd States and, ac-
cordlng to the regulations, he ~ allowed
thirty-iive days to make the Journey TO
his home and as much time for the
return trip. As 1t Is not expected that
he will be able to get away from Pc
kin, owing 10 the Ice, much before
the middle Of March, he could not be
expected to return 10 his post, even II
he desired to retain his ministry, until
the latter part OF next summer.

STRING FIEND'S WORK.

Some string fend IN Winona has been
getting in his work in the Minneapolis
Journal of last Saturday about the box
elder bugs of this city and lays the
odium of the whole thing onto minis
ter, who is doubtless innocent of the
whole affair. Box elder bugs have been
quite bad, there is no denying that, but
that they have been as bad as the Jour
nal correspondent would have it appear
is too fshy to believe. The story reads
as follows:
Rev. J. Meier Of this city, who has
just returned from trip to New Ulm
reports that that city is suffering from a
plague of box elder bugs. They are
there by millions, he says, and are thick
in houses, churches and every other
place. Along the Cottonwood river
they cover the ground and form com
plete carpet. In order to get rid of the
pests the people af New Ulm, Mr.. Meier
says, are cutting down the trees.
