GERMAN PAPERS BITTER.
Attack the Kaiser and Deplore Wal
dersee's Chinese Policy.

New York, May pa dispatch to the
Herald from St. Petersburg says: The
attack on the kaiser's speech at Metz
by the Borzevaia Niediomosti is con-
sidered to have been inspired
It says. We suppose Emperor Will
liam made the speech to try to pacify
the Germans who are angry at the dis
proportion between the real interests of
Germany in the Far East and the cOlos-
sal sacrifice Of lives and money for fan
tastic ends
1T is practically fear Of a break in
the amicable relations with Russia that
caused anxiety among common sense
people in Germany
THE Waldersee campaign has been
the most deplorable mission in modern
history. The Chinese have not learned
to appreciate our civilization. On the
contrary such deplorable conditions can
not be hidden by rhetorical displays
The NoVOsti says: THE emperor
praises Count Won Waldersee. The pub
lie opinion not only of Germany but Of
all Europe appreciates the case other
wise. At the best his efforts have been
useless. Quite uselessly he prolonged
the military occupation Of Pc Chi Ii and
artihcially created a sphere Of activity.
Otherwise peace would have been con-
cluded long ago"
The Novoe Nremya has a special dis
patch from Nladivostock describing a
grand performance at the Chinese the
alter in aid of the families Of the Chinese
fallen.
The Russian governor was present and
large sums were subscribed

YERKES TO BUY THEN.
American Capitalist to Buy London's
Underground Railways

New York, May 22.-Mr. Yerkes' ar
rival in England viii be a signal for
the renewal CT negotiations for the con-
troll of underground electric transit in
London, says the London correspondent
of the Tribune There has been mystic
rious speculation of some kind going on
in the district, and the Metropolitan
railway runor mongers persist in the
statement that Mr. Yerxes has obtained
control of one of these railways and is
bent upon buying up the other for an
American syndicate. There is no au
thentic information.
There will be more gossip, followed
by contradictions. as soon as Mr.
Yerkes resun es operations. There can
be little new legislation for the electric
companies this session. The report of
the compassion on vibrations is en-
coura ging. so far as it goes. but all new
projects are in suspense.

RAILROADS IN CUBA.
Building of Line in Violation of For
aker Resolution.

rsw York May 22.-The Times says:
A legal fight is promised against the
securing of railroad franchises in the
island of Cuba by the Cuba company
of which Sir William c. Nanhorne. of
Canada. is president, complaint having
been made by interests represented by
General Lacret that the company is
building a railroad in the island, where
as the Foraker resolution provided that
no concession should be made to any
one while the military occupation con-
tinues. Sir William c. Vanhorne, who
is here. said:
Our company was organized about
a year ago for the purpose of develop
ing Cuba. We expect to build a rail-
road from San Luis. near Santiago, to
the center of the province of Santa
Clara. Most of the past year has been
spent in surveying and grading We
are working only upon land We have &C
tually purchased We have just as
much right to lay tracks on our own
land as we have to build houses or do
anything else We are crossing public
highways and streams. it is true, but
we are doing this under revocable per-
rnits which viii have to be Endorsed or
rejected by the constitutional govern
menr when it is established We are
not violating the Foraker or any other
law, and the people Of Cuba ain ost as
a unit are in favor of the building of
this railroad"

YUCATAN HEMP TRADE.
Manila Competition Is Not Feared by
Mexican Planters

New York, May 22.-Menalio Marin,
of Progreso, Yucatan, who is on visit
to this country for the purpose of plac-
ing various contracts for machinery
gives some interesting figures regard
ing the sisal hemp trade in Yucatan.
Mr. Marin is manager for firm at
Progreso. According to figures COM
piled by him the exports of "henequen',
last year aggregated 499 626 bales
equivalent to some 9S. 600 tons. OF this
amount 227,70 bales were shipped to
New York, 13S,745 to Boston. 1886 to
New Orleans. $3.50 to Havana, 2, 100 to
Liverpool, $50 to London, 916 to Ham
burg and us to Barcelona Close on to
1000 tons of binder Irvine We're shipped
in 1900. Some 200 vessels were en- ployed
for transporting the hemp, comprising
102 Norwegian IS English, so American,
IA German and two Spanish ships. The
value of these shipments aggregated
over SIC. 600 900.
In course of conversation Mr.. Marin
said: THE Compania del Ferrocarril
MuelIe Y AImacenes del Commerce. de
Progresso Cthe railroad. wharf and
warehouse company Of PrOgreS01 has
just opened three warehouses having a
capacity for $50 600 bales. The company
is about to construct a narrow-gauge
road from Merida to Progreso, so that
freight can be handled more rapidly
than now under the existing conditions.
Merida is the center of the hemp dis
trict. and is situated "A miles from
PFOgreSO
Mr. Marin says he does not fear the
competition of Manila hemp. He says
that the product in his country can be
cultivated cheaper than in the Philip
pines. Mr.. Marin says also that the
present tendency of the Yucataneans is
to purchase almost everything from
America. France and England used to
be the largest exporters to Yucata.n.
but now only wine comes from the
former country. while Great Britain
ships only small quantity of ma
chinery.

FORGED CHECKS.
Their Emission Charged to E. C. Law
renee of 33rd Infantry.

Manila. May 22-E c. Lawrence,
formerly a private in the Thirty-third
volunteer infantry, and afterward en-
pIoyed as a civilian clerk in the adju-
tant generals office at Manila, has been
accused Of forging the signature of Cap
tain Slavens, the insular disbursing
officer, to certain checks purporting to
be payable to General Macarthur. On
the backs of the checks were forged en-
dorsements of General Macarthur to
General Shafter and to +. c Lawrence.
Two of these checks OF 5000 each have
been cashed at san Francisco, but an
other negotiated at St. Louis has been
returned to Manila and pronounced
spurious by Captain Slavens. Lawrence
is suspected OF other forgeries.
The insurgents made an unsuccess-
full attack upon the village of Nacarlan.
in Laguna. province. A private in the
Eighth infantry was killed in the en-
gagement.
The official report Of the recent en-
gagen ent near PasacOa, in South Cam
armies province, says that three Amer
lean soldiers We're killed and one native
scout was captured.
General Macarthur has ordered re-
ports from all the civil departments
preparatory to his own final report.

SEES THE PRESIDENT.
j. P. Morgan Has an Interview With
the French Ruler.

New York, May 22.-President Lou
bet has just received J. Pierpont Nor
gan, the American fnancier, says a
World dispatch from Paris. General
Horace Porter. the United States am
bassador, presented Mr. Morgan at the
Elysee palace and the banker thanked
the president Of the French republic
for the decoration of the Legion of
Honor, which was presented as one of
the honors conferred upon foreigners in
connection with the international expos
ition of 1900.
Mr.. Morgan in the course of a brief
converse ton assured President Loubet
of the sympathy and admiration of the
United States for France. The president
answered in the same general pleasant
manner and complimented Mr. Morgan
upon his fluent use Of the French
language. The interview lasted barely
five minutes.
All rumors to the contrary nothing
was said about the Panama canal. Any
reference to this subject in a converse
ton with the French chief of state
would have been construed as a gross
breach of etiquette.

COMMITTEE OF FIFTEEN
Securing Important Evidence in Eff
forts to Purify Gotham.

New York, May 22.-The Independent
today Will contain an article written by
Justice jerome. Concerning the work
Of the committee of fifteen he says.
among other things:
The raids have been so successful
that a great deal of evidence has been
secured and many indictments found.
We seem to be on the track of the
great men who are or were responsible
fer the recent diSgraceful condition of
affairs
The evidence that we have obtained
will need the careful Sitting Of a trial.
It might be most unfair in many in
stances to disclose the names Of the men
who were found specified in the gam
blers' books. 1t IS not safe to assume
that because we find mans name thus
enrolled as receiving a sum of money
from them weekly that he really is or
was in the gamblers pay. Some times
rascals stand for men who are honest.
They pretend to be authorized by the
man in question to collect money for
them but he never hears of it. So we
are obliged to build our structure of
evidence slowly and accept nothing I'M
til It Is proven. According to our pres
ent light it would appear that the Tam
many organization, as an organization,
did not get any of the gamblers bride
money But Tammany leaders, as in
diYidualS are not 50 clear of suspicion.
The root of the trouble lies in the fact
that Tammany is too powerful and the
plundering clique in the organization
has so perfected its machinery that it
works throughout the entire city If
the Republicans were as firmly in
power here they would be Just as bad
but 1t would take them years to get as
strong and far reaching an Organizati ton
as their opponents now have The only
remedy seems to be equal balance OF
parties If the voters were about evenly
divided between the great parties both
would have to be on their good behavior.
The condition is not peculiar to New
York We have seen the same thing
with a different party in Philadelphia

DOUBLES THE DUTIES
If the Chinese Customs Be Required
in Gold.

Berlin, May pat is authoritatively
stated that the powers viii agree to re-
quire the present Chinese import duties
to be paid in gold which is equivalent to
doubling the duties. The same payment
also will probably be required in the
case of the salt and opium tax.
Germany is apparently averse to in
terfering with the liken duties since
they are too complicated requiring too
much administrative machinery and too
much mixing in the internal affairs of
China.
Officials admit that the powers are
likely to divide into two groups upon
the method Of settlement some in favor
of loan and others supporting pay
ment through increased revenues It is
not expected however, that a disagree
nent will disturb the present harmoni-
Gus action.
