 In the World.

New York, November 1.-The Kaiser, having now ordered a new racing yacht in the United States, takes the utmost in terest in all the details concerning it's progress, says the Berlin correspondent of the Herald.
 His Majesty is firmly convinced that the Americans build the fastest sailing boats. It is known that whenever the Keil regatta has been discussed the Elm peror has usually let out the suggestion that Americans with yachts would al- ways be welcome there
 He would like to see a fleet of American yachts appearing at the Keil regatta this season, thus adding importance to the meeting and showing his rich German subjects what they might do with their money in the way of buying beautiful water palaces. for His Majesty is con- stantly melting his richer people to buy boats and thus stimulate the sailors pro- fessicn, from which to recruit in time of need for his navy

DENIES THE STORY.
Columbia University Has Not Offered
 Minister Wu a Position.

New York, November il.-Trustees of the Columbia University said there was no truth in the report that the Chinese Minister Wu Ting Fang had been offer ed the chair of Chinese language and literature and that the matter had not come before the board of trustees in any way. Francis c. Bangs one of the board said he had never heard Minister wu's name mentioned in connection with the college circles.
 It was not in the range of probabilities he said that the Chinese Minister would accept, because in the first place he would have to eNpatriate himself and. second. the salary of the prOfessOrship probably not more than s4Sl0 would hardly be acceptable to a man of MT. Wu's station

GERMAN PAPERS PROTEST.
Attitude of Germany Not Hostile to
 French Demonstration.

New York, November 1.-The Berlin Post, quoted by the Berlin correspondent of the London Times and the New York Times, protests against the belief in Paris that the attitude of the German press to- ward the French naval demonstration in Turkish waters was hostile. The Post attributes this belief to the action of the British press, particularly the Times. It remonstrates with the French journa- lists, advising them to study the Neu Frei Presse and the Pester Lloyd. The paper congratulates M. Delcasse on not pressing the claim of protectorate over the eastern Catholics too far and des- cribes his latest declarations as entirely reassuring.

London, November 1.-The Pail Mall Gazette this afternoon, referring to the speech made by Senator Lodge at Boston on Saturday last, says:
 If. as believed, MT. Lodges speech re- veals the mind of President Roosevelt this country will have nothing to com plain of. The isthmian business will be settled next year in a manner honorable and satisfactory to both countries, which means, we presume, that America will get her own way in the matter. The Mon- roe doctrine is to be sternly upheld by a great navy, if need be. This is in the in- terests of peace. As the Monroe doctrine does not affect that part of the American continent that belongs to the British Elm pire. the annouhcement will cause no friction"
