the following letter to her husband, for
the benefit of her friends here:
Dear Husband: Topeka Is on the
jump. God is moving and things will
move. Oh how want to see my dear
friends in Medicine Lodge! 1 do not
remember face that would not like

who waits in his net to crush out the
life and soul of those who are 30 dear
to me, have offered me palace car and
one hundred dollars night but 1 had
rather serve God and be a beggar. Oh
the JOY of being His follower! l can
not say when will be home. 1t is not
in man to direct his steps. l only know
He knoweth the steps 1 take. Tell my
sweet friends that the song l love now
is, Some Day the Silver Cord Will
Break"
Now. dear husband, be thankful that
God will use this poor body, your wife,
to do little to show her love for Him
who died for her. God be with you
till we meet again." WIFE.

Emperor William Displenscd at Ac-
tion on His Canal Bils.

BERLIN, May 2.-The chancellor, Count
Won Buelow, reported personally to En-
peror William yesterday and complained Of
the intentional delaying of the canal bill
by the majority in the diet. The govern
ment thereupon gave up further negotia-
tions regarding the bill for the time be-
ing.
The resignation of Or. Won Miguel, the
finance minister, is now considered likely
to be presented IN the immediate future.
The diet will be closed before Whitsuntide
but 1t Will not be dissolved, nor will there
be an appeal on the subject to the country
by means of new election Official publi-
cations regarding the above are expected
&enight. Emperor and the >Prussian cabi-
net adhere to their intention to build the
canal.
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press understands that the purpose of to-
morrows joint session of the diet and
house of lords is to close the session by
expressing Emperor Williams displeasure
at the failure of the canal bill in commit
tee.
The Lokal Anzeiger learns that the pro-
rogation will be accompanied by strong
ly-worded declaration Of the ministry.

The plan for securing an expression of

Secretary Gage VIII Recommend
Separate Pouches for Them.

The Secretary of the Treasury has re-
ceiVed from the Postmaster General an
answer to the complaints by merchants
Of western cities that parcels post pack
ages from Germany are delayed In conse
quence of their rehandling in New York.
The Secretary, in transmitting these com
plants, suggested that the Inconvenience
occasioned by the present method of ham
ding and appraisement at New York
might be obviated by placing these pack
ages in separate pouches abroad and for
wording them to their destination without
the Intervention of the customs authori-
ties at New York
The Postmaster General in his answer
calls attention to the necessity of protect
ing the revenues, and states that while
the officials at Chicago and New York are
probably sufficiently skilled in the ap-
praisement of merchandise to protect the
interests Of the government, it would be
well to further consider the question as to
whether. on the plea of expediting deliv-
cry, the same privilege could be extended
to any other than the two cities named
without detriment to the customs rev.
enues.
The Postmaster General sees other OBJ
jections Of a more or less serious char
acter but says that if the Secretary, upon
further consideration of the subject ad-
vises him that a sufficiently close inspec-
tion can be made of these parcels by the
customs officials at Chicago and certain
other large cities. the subject will be taken
up with the German postal office, whose
consent and cooperation would have to
he obtained The Secretary will advise the
Postmaster General that he is of opinion
that the scheme Is entirely feasible, and
will recommend that the German office be
asked to cooperate in carrying 1t out.

GROWTH OF GERMAN COMMERCE,
COLONIZATION in Brazil and the Estab-

Colonization in Brazil and the Estab-
lishment of Steamship Lines.
report Of timely interest concerning
the remarkable growth Of German CONNER
cial enterprises In South and Central Amer
lea, has been received at the State Depart
ment from Vice Consul General Murphy at
Frankfort, Germany.
THE rapid extension Of Germany's direct
lines Of steamship connection with our
southern neighbors," says Mr.. Murphy
"the growth of German colonies there and
the consequent increase Of German in
fluence and trade. especially in southern
Brazil. should, in my opinion, arouse a feel
ing of friendly rivalry in American business
circles If we intend to maintain our posi-
tion in these rich markets.
Geographical advantages and political
sympathy" he continues, cannot alone
win or hold markets in these days Of keen
international competition. We must emu
late the enterprising spirit of the Germans,
steamship connections with Central and
South America, If we hope to be able to
continue successful competition with our
great commercial rivals in those countries. "
Mr.. Murphy inclosed extracts from arti-
cles recently published in Berlin jour-
nal, and many points of interest as showing
Germany's remarkable foothold In South
and Central America are brought out in
them. Among the statements developed are
that the German steamship lines occupy
such a strong position in the South Ameri-
can traffic that the north American COM
mercial fleet Is entirely unable to enter into
competition with them. Not less than five
large German steamship companies are en-
gagged in trade with South America, and
especially with Brazil. Furthermore, 1t II

LONDON, May 2.-There was a large at
tendance in the house of commons today
In anticipation Of the discussion of the new
export tax on coal, but before this stage Of
the days proceedings can be reached 143
questions have to be disposed of.
The government has issued an urgent
whip to the unionist members, who are
largely pledged to vote against the tax.
The government is standing firm and is
taking strong precautions to secure ma
jority.
There was considerable excitement on
the Cardiff coal exchange today. The
paucity of free coal indisposes to selling
at any price. Some firms are suspendtng
their charging operations, pending develop
ments.

tary, replying to Sir Charles Howard Vim

the intention of the German government to
increase the duties steel and various

the Importance Of such information; but in

SEEING NEW ORLEANS
President and Party Visit Many
Points of Interest.
ESCORTED BY LOCAL CAVALRY
Calls at tho Southern University
for Coored Students.
s PEAKS AT CABILD o


Special From a Staff Correspondent.
NEW ORLEANS, La, May 2.-The Presi-
dent and party are seeing New Orleans.
The program will keep the party engaged
all day until the train leaves tonight for
the long run through Texas. The President
breakfasted before many of the members
Of his party and was ready at O'Clock
when the local committee called for him
to start three hours drive through
the city, in which many historic pla, es
were visited. The President exhibi ed
great interest in the days program and N
the places seen by him.
There are four large collegiate institu-
tions here maintained by the city and state
for the colored people. The President de-
sired to honor the colored people while here
and so he visited the Southern University,
where he was received with hearty demon
strations of good will by the colored off,
cias. students and people. He was touch
ed by these evidences of the profound re-
spect in which he is held by the negro
race. The entire reception Of the Presi-
dent here has been well handled, showing
that New Orleans. like Washington, is ac-
customed to doing big things with ease and
grace. Yesterday and today the throngs
greeted the President with all the cordial
ity that could be expected anywhere. Both
days have been hot, but thousands have
be disappointed In seeing the President.
President Stands Trip Well.
The maximum temperature yesterday was
SS, while today it has reached so. Riding
In the sun for several hours under these
circumstances would be calculated to do
serious harm to most anybody, but the
President returned to his hotel after noon
apparently none the worse for the exact
ing and trying conditions under which he
had been over the city. \ boat ride on the
Mississippi this afternoon Will be more re-
freshing.
Mrs Mckinley is doing well. She does
not expose herself to the heat to any great
extent. The members of the cabinet are
enjoying with the President the program
official business is reaching them for trans
action and that what little there is is Of
no consequence.
Secretary Hay has received no informa-
ton from the State Department relative to
the alleged agreement of the powers as to
the indemnity China shall pay.
He candidy says he does not believe any
agreement has been reached and Is not
sanguine that anything can be done to
make an agreement materially reducing the
demands of the powers. The United States
has believed that COCO 900 was amply
sufficient for all the powers. England has
been next to this country in generosity
putting the figures at $3.50, ,O0O, 900.
The Presidents speech at the banquet
last night was extemporaneous, and by
cabinet members Is regarded as the most
felicitous he has made. There will be
no more long stops of the train again until
Ell Paso is reached. Sunday will be spent
in that city, from which the train will
leave on Monday morning. w. W. p.
