There is an interesting story be-
hind the special star charts which
the equipment bureau Of the navy

use in navigation. Miss Mary
Proctor, the astronomer, daughter
of the astronomer, took to a pub
Usher in New York a plan for 9
child's astronomical calender, and
together they worked over the plan.
Finally the publisher suggested
Why cannot we make a simple star
chart for children-not one cluster
ed up with stars invisible almost,
but one containing only the more
prominent ones? And why cannot
we make these charts 50 that the

LIVELY WAR OVER PAPER.
German Manufacturers Want Increas.
ed Tariff, Which Publishers Oppose.


From the tone of the German press it
appears that almost all branches of German
Industries are using their influence to pro-
cure an increase in the tariff rates, ac-
cording to a report from United States
Consul Schumann at Mainz to the De-
partment Of State. Actuated by the fear
OF American competition, paper manufac-
turers In particular are loud in their de-
mands for higher protective tariff, not
being content with having raised the prices
on their wares from 25 to 40 per cent.
They claim, says Consul Schumann, that
II their demands are not needed the United
States will ruin the German paper indus
try, as new paper factories are being con-
stantly built in the United States, and be-
fore long our republic will simply flood the
German market. as the manufacturers of
the United States have greater resources
as regards raw material, and are thus able
to produce more cheap1y.
1t Is pointed out that If the demands of
the paper manufacturers are granted the
prices of German paper would be increased
enormously, and naturally the German
press, which would suffer greatly from
such a contingency, is waging a lively war
against an increased tariff on paper

MORE REBELS SURRENDER.
Stamping Out the InsurrectfOn In
MindanaO Island.

hlnuanaO 1Sl0nO.
Another important dispatch was received
at the War Department today from Gen
eral Macarthur at Manila, dated today. It
did not refer to AguinaIdo or Funston, but,
in the opinion of the War Department, it
went far to support the prediction made by
General Macarthur in yesterdays dispatch
relating to Aguinaldo's capture, to the eff
feet that the end of the rebellion Is near
at hand. TOday's dispatch chronicles the
surrender of considerable additional num-
Der of rebels and military arms, and the
important feature Of it Is that the sur
render marks the complete stamping out
of the insurrection in the Islan< Of Min
danao. which is. next to Luzon, the largest
island in the Philippine group. The dis
patch is as follows:
"MANILA. March %, 1901
