AMERICA AND GERMANY.
Berlin Press Comment on the Speech OF
Secretary Hay.

Berlin, Nov. 2o.-The evening papers
print long summaries of Secretary Hay's
speech at the banquet of the New York
chamber of commerce last Tuesday night.
The Bcriner Neuste NachrclNen says:
"This utterance of the American
statesman, in all its parts, deserves the
applause of those nations which in a
similar spirit seek satisfaction for their
need OF expansion in peaceful compe-
tition in the worlds markets. All seri-
GUS political and business circles in Ger
many are convinced that East Asia par
ticularly offers room for many years to
come for all trading nations. AS for the
political relations between Germany and
the United States, Secretary Hays
speech corresponds with the traditions
of Prussia-German craftsmanship since
the American revolution to keep the mu-
tual relations Of the two countries upon
a footing of sincere friendship. 1t is to
be hoped that the speech will have the
effect in the United States OF removing
whatever grounds still remain for anti
German sentiments, which are 1ostered
in London"
The Berliner Tageblatt points out that
"the Monroe doctrine was less sharply
emphasized by Secretary Hay than it
had been by Senator Lodge" and it re-
CARDS the speakers reference to reciproc-
ity treaties as being in the traditional
spirit of protection to domestic industry
and as oracular.

WOMEN ARE WARNED.
Customs Officers will Take Cosnizance I
Smuggling by Society Ladies.

Seattle, Nov. 2O.-Several prominent
Seattle women, the wives and daughters
OF wealthy business and professional
men, have, according to United States
secret service detectives, been conduct
ing systematic smuggling operations on
an extensive scale. Their violations of
the law have become SO frequent, and in
some instances so open, that the matter
is receiving serious consideration from
the government officers. During the
past winter, it is stated by Seattle GUS
toms official, hundreds OF dollars worth
of silks and expensive dress goods were
brought from Victoria to Seattle without
the payment of duties, because of the
social prominence of the fair smugglers
on whose persons the dutiable articles
were more or less cleverly concealed.
"These women smugglers," said a GUS
toms official, ''are> always wealthy.
They do their shopping across the line
and bring their purchases home con-
cealed in their clothing.

mistress of a beautiful home and the
wife of one of Seattle's most influential
men, who was very recently the smuggler
of very expensive piece OF silk dress
goods. She carried the cloth home be-
meath her outer skirt"
"The worst feature of the matter is
the increasing frequency of these occur
rences. These women cannot resist the
temptation offered by cheaper goods in

they are sufficiently skillful to avoid the

"They have not in the past. This may
not, however, be the case in the future,
unless the smuggling is stopped. The
social prominence of the culprits would
make their prosecution disagreeable

cars will be running and carrying
logs, passengers and freight.
1t will be. a standar0-gauge road
with 60-pound rails. The cost OF
construction will be $4,000 per mile.
There will be only one bridge, which
will span the Klamath River about
two miles from Jenny Creek. The
end OF the present construction is
In the heart OF the company's TO-
900 acres OF timberland holdings and
will also bring the road over the

SAFE BLOWER KILLED.
Shot Through the Head While Drilling the N. P.
Depot Safe At Seattle.

Seattle, Nov. l9.-T. D. Rush, said to
be an expert craftsman, was shot and
killed in the depot ticket Office of the
Northern Pacific Railway Company, on
the water front, at l O'Clock II. IN. He
was drilling into the company's safe at
the time. In the Office were Policemen
Hubbard and Byrnes and Private De-
tective Hunt, OF the Northern Pacific.
They were waiting for Rush. When he
discovered their presence he made mo-
ton with pistol, and the next moment
fell, MORALLY wounded. A bullet fired
by one of the officers pierced his brain
and shattered the base of his skull. lie
was taken to police headquarters, where
despite the efforts Of DIR. William l..
Ludlow to save his life, he died.
The ticket Office is in the depot at the
foot of Columbia street. Rush had gone
under the wharf and directly beneath
the safe had erected platform. He had
then cut hole in the floor of the office
about two feet by three and half feet
in size. He did the work SO we'll that
no evidence of the trap door can be
discovered when it is closed.
hubIl 3 pan was w otAHu VII viz piS0
form, which is about four feet below the
Office floor, and drill into the bottom of
the safe and then blow it.
The officials of the company, having
suspected that some such effort was be-
ing made to break into the vault, had
two policemen stationed in the office last
night in company with the railroad de-
tective. Shortly after midnight the trap
door opened and Rush flashed dark
lantern through tho hole. The officers
waited in silence for developments.
With his head and shoulders above the
level of the floor, Rush started to drill
into the bottom of the safe. He pursued
his work steadily and seemed to be
making fair progress. This continued
for some time, until, turning his light
he saw the silent watchers. Like flash
he levied heavy revolver at one of the
men, but before he had time to fire he
dropped from sight with bullet through
his brain.

TROOPS TO RESCUE.
Consul Dickinson Asks the Bulgarian Govern.
ment for Soldiers.

Sofia, Nov. 20.-It is reported that Mr..
Dickinson, the United States diplomatic
agent here, has informed the government
of Bulgaria that the abductors of Miss
Ellen NJ. Stone and Nine. Tsilka, with
their captives, are concealed in defle
of the Bellterza mountains, near Smotch,
district of Dubnitza, and requested that
troops be sent to surround the place and
liberate the captives. Both Mr.. Dickin-
son and the Bulgarian foreign Office de-
cline to confirm or deny this report.
Nevertheless, it is believed that Mr..
Dickinson, persuaded Of the impossible
ity to come to terms with the brigands,
and relying upon his belief that they will
not harm their captives if troops are
employed against them, after consulting
with Washington, decided upon this
move. Only eight bandits now guard
Miss Stone, and some Of them are known
to sympathize with her.
About fortnight ago Mr.. Dickinson
approached the foreign Office and pro-
posed the same plan, but its carrying out
was abandoned because of the uncer-
tainty of the location of the bandits.

NEWS OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
Good Weeks Record Of Commercial and Industrial
Progress and Development in Oregon, Idaho,
Washington and California.
A Future Pittsburs.

Development work is now being
done on what may prove to be the
most important mineral properties
in the State of Washington so far
as adding to the states commercial
and industrial supremacy is con-
cerned. These are locations of coal
and iron mines located in adjacent
and overlapping claims on the divide
between Cowlitz and Lewis counties
and about sixty miles southwest of
Yakima. The properties consist Of
some 700 or 5000 acres Of coal lands
located under the coal land laws and
O large number Of iron claims locat'
ed under the laws governing miner
a. locations. These claims are the
property of Yakima business men
and the work Of developing them on
small scale Is going slowly forward
on the properties.
Two Spokane capitalists recently
visited North Yakima for the purpose
of purchasing or bonding the proper
ties with a view of installing develop
ment work on much larger scale
and eventually building upon the
properties vast productive indus
try in mining and smelling iron ore.
The Importance of discovery of
iron ore in this state has long been
recognized by men who have made a
study of the commercial progress
and development of the world and
many have been the efforts to find
iron in sufficient quantity and of suf-
ficient quality to Justify mining and
smelling it. AS yet none of the re-
ported discoveries has proven suf-
ficiently promising TO justify the ex-
penditure at this time of the large
sum of money it would require in or
der to properly develop the industry
on scale commensurate with its
Importance. Several promising iron
locations have been made but little
or no development Is being done on
any Of them except as Is necessary in
order to make the locations valid
from year to year. The feature OF
these properties which makes them
seem particularly promising Is the
fact that the coal and iron deposits
are so near to each other, thus per-
hitting the former to be used for the
purpose of smelling the latter with
out the necessity and cost of trans
porting it. The coal Is claimed to
be an excellent grade Of anthracite.
the first discovery of that variety to
be reported in the state, while the
iron ore is very fine and of high
grade in addition to being in such i
form and in such condition as to be
easily and economically reducible.

The Northern Pacific road is also
considering the falls as a source OF
power for running its trains from
Portland and Seattle to the summit
of the Cascades.
President Hill has decided that
electricity shall be the motive pow

HUMAN MONKEYS OF JAVA.
Frof. Hneckcl's Description of Very
intelligent species.

Prof. IIaeckels latest publication
contains some curious information
about the human monkey of Java.
most interesting specimen of the young
gibbon was watched by Prof. Haeckel
at his own house in Java. The species
Is found only in Java, and Is called
uylubates iauscicus. The natives call
it "Oa," on account of the characteris-
tic sound it utters. When standing 1t
is scarcely taller than child Of q. The
head is comparatively small, and 1t
has a small. slender waist. The legs
are short and the arms much longer.
The face is more human than that OF
the orang-outang. Prof. Hoeckel says:
Its physiognomy reminded me Of the
manager of an insolvent bank ponder
ing with wrinkled brow over the re-
suits of a crash. Distrust Of the Ga

ticeable. On the other hand, he was
on terms of intimate friendship with
the Malays in our household. especially
with the small children. He never
crawled on all tours when tired Of rum
ming. but stretched on the grass be-
meath the tropical sun, with one arm
under his head. When held tasty food
lust out of his reach he cried like
naughty child. 'huite, huite,' sound
altogether different from 'oa-oa,' with
which he expressed various emotions.
He had a third ana more shrill sound
when he was suddenly frightened. The
speech of these human monkeys en-
braces many different sounds, but they
are modulated and altered in tone and
strength with number of repetitions.
They also use many gestures. motions
with their hands and grimaces which
are so expressive In manner that
careful observer can detect their diff
ferent wishes and various emotions.
"My specimen liked sweet wine. He
grasped cup in both hands and drank
like a child. He peeled bananas and
oranges just as we are accustomed to
do, holding the fruit in his left hand.
Most Of the Malays do not regard the
gibbon and orang-outang as brutes.
They believe the former are bewitched
men, and the latter are criminals who
have been changed to monkeys as
punishment.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat.
