FRANKFORT -oN-THE ODER, Germany,
Sept. 1O.-Emperor Williams guests we're a
yawny and rather hsggard lot this morning.
Prince Albrecht, as the emperor's represen-
tative, entertained all of them at dinner last
evening, and it was toward IL when the
party broke up. At 3 a. M, or a quarter
past, they had themselves called, the en-
peToF having directed that the battle begin
at o'clock.
The field Of the maneuvers is situated
quite a distance by rail from Frankfort-on
the Oder and the princes and generals had
to assemble at the railroad station at 4:SO
a. m. to catch the special train. Even then
the emperor was afield before them.
Tons OF gunpowder were burned today.
Sixty thousand infantry and 200 pieces OF
artillery were in action. The reports near
and distant OF the many thousands of rifles
was broken at intervals by the tearing, rip
saving effect Of the firing Of the machine

flashed eleven batteries OF artillery, under
whose imaginary shells the infantry of the

CARNEGlE'S GIFTS ARE LAUDED
world Than Rhodes
Bequests.

BELFAST, Sept. 10.-The seventy second
annual meeting Of the British Association
for the Advancement OF Science commenced
here tonight. The attendance was larger
than at any former gathering OF the asso-
citation, with the exception OF that of 1901
at Glasgow. The address Of James r. De-
war referred to the recent munihcent bene-
factions to science and education and es-
pecially to the gifts Of Andrew Carnegie
and the late Cecil Rhodes. He said he
thought the means chosen by MIR. Rhodes
were not the most effective which could
have been selected but that II must be
remembered that Mr.. Rhodes aims were
political as well as educational.
"He had a noble and worthy ambition to
promote the enduring friendship Of the
great English speaking communities Of the
world" said Prof. Dewar. "and he was
probably Influenced by the hope that
large influx of strangers would broaden
Oxford's notions"
Referring to Mr.. Carnegies endowment
OF Scottish universities and the founding Of
an educational institution at Washington
he said we're a more direct benefit to edu
cation than the benefits from Mr.. Rhodes
founding Of scholarships Prof Dewar
said that the founding of the institution at
washington meant peneut IOr the Olu
world we'll as to the new
Reviewing the meager contributions to
the Royal Institution of Great Britain dur
ing the past century Ptof Dewar reached
the conclusion that without such endow-
ments as Mr.. Carnegie,s the outlook for
disinterested research whs rather dark.
The Carnegie institute! he said, could dis
pose in one year Of as much money as the
hod Cd In
tury in it's purely scientific work and it
would be interesting to note how far the
output Of high class scientific work cor
responds to the hundredfold application Of
money to it's production.
Speaking on the subject Of applied chem
istry, Prof. Dewar made a scathing criti-
cism Of "the deplorable backwardness" Of
Great Britain in this field as compared
to foreign countries. Taking Germany as
an example, the professor declared that
notwithstanding the immense range Of
chemical sciences the United Kingdom had
once been interested in, Germany en-
ployed a chemical staff three times as large
and as superior in training as 1t was su-
perior numerically. He said the Germans
had a monopoly which enabled them to
exact tribute from the rest Of the world.
Prof Dewar said II was the failure Of
schools to turn out and manufacturers to
demand properly trained men which ex-
planned Great Britain's loss Of valuable
industries and the eoaHtFJ's preosFious bold
upon others.
ITO my mind" said he, the really ap-
palling thing is not that the Germans
have seized upon this or other industries,
but that the German population has reached
a point of general training and specialized
equipment which It will take US two gene
rations OF hard and intelligently directed
educational work to attain"

RUSSIA STAYS IN MANCHURIA
Subjects of the Crsr Evidently In

Have.

PEKIN, Sept. 10.-According to advlces
received here from Manchuria the Rus
slams are making no visible preparations
TO withdraw from the military occupation
Of the southeast portion Of the province
Of Shin King. as was stipulated should be
done within six months Of the signing Of
the treaty. Russian troops and emigrants
are reported to be in Manchuria in large
numbers, but none are leaving.
TEN TSIN Sept. 10.-Colonel Byron
Kopp, director OF the Manchurian railway,
General Baranon. acting governor, and other
acting Russian officers in Manchuria have
gone to Pekin in connection with the with
drawal of the Russian forces from Man
churia and tn 'storation Of the railway.
WASHING1 Tn, eDt. 10.-While Mr..
Laessar's notice Nt., intention OF the
Russian government, n, -pel foreigners
from Manchuria has N formally
brought to the attention .. ate de-
partment. it can be predicted A. res
ent. at least. our government wilI on
this matter as one involving Russia EAina
and England and one in which 1t is not
directly concerned. There are no Amer
leans in that section OF China and II 1t
should appear that there are some Amer
ican prospectors in that country it is not
probable the decree would be enforced in
their case. While general in terms the
decree really is aimed at the British and
marks a determination on the part Of Rus
sia to retain the control of customs in
Msnchuria in its own hands, while nom
inally recognizing Chinese sovereignty.
The British customs employees referred
to are British by nativity. but are actually
in the employ Of the Chinese government
and 1t may be that Russia will insist that
the question raised by Mr.. Laessar's orders
concerns only Russia and China. 1t is i'm
probable that the British government will
take this view Of the matter, and 1t is fully
expected the British minister at Pekin will
call on the Chinese government to retain
these British customs oficials, despite the
Russian order.

President Returns to His Summer
Residence at Oyster

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Sept 1o.--Presi-
dent Roosevelt arrived here at 4:50 p. M,
aboard Sylph. The president was accom-
panied by Secretary Cortelyou, Assistant
Secretary Loeb, Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss
Ethel Roosevelt.
The president was pretty we'll tired out
and retired at an early hour. Secretary
Cortelyou went to his home in Hampstead.
1t was authoritatively denied tonight that
the United States government had sounded
the German government as to the appoint
ment OF Bellamy Storer, at present min
lister to Spain, as the successor of Andrew
d. White as American ambassador to Ger
many. It can be stated by the same au-
thority that the successor to Mr.. White has
not yet been selected. The name Of Mr..
Storer is being considered as we'll as that
OF Mr.. Tower.
1t is expected that the new ambassadors
name will be announced shortly. President
Roosevelt will make no more appointments
before going on his western trip September
10. He will devote the time between now
and then in preparing for the trip, and dis
posing OF accumulated business. This will
not interfere with the reception OF his
friends and neighbors Of Nassau county,
arranged for September Is. The hours Of
the reception will be from 8 to o'clock
in the afternoon. The citizens are making
great preparations for the event and a

morning In his special train over the
Southern railroad and left at 7 o'clock via
the Pennsylvania railroad for New York.
The president and his party travelled from
Washington in two cars attached to the
regular train.
From there Sylph will convey the presi-
dent to Oyster Bay. During the half hour
his car was in the depot a number Of rail-
road men, newspaper men and travellers
gathered around II in the hope Of getting a
glimpse OF the president. They were dis
appointed in this, however, for the almost
continuous travelling for the past three
weeks had taxed his strength and he was
enjoying the sleep and rest afforded by the
long run from North Carolina No incl
dent worthy OF note marked the Journey
during the night
Several White House officials were on
hand to meet the train and for some time
were engaged In conversation with Secre-
tary Corteyou. The southern trip which
virtually ended here, covered a distance of
1866 miles over two systems, the Balti-
more Ohio and the Southern, and was
under the personal direction of s. B. Hege
OF the former road, and Colonel L. S. Brown
/ OF the latter. The schedule for the entire
trip, prepared by ID. B. Martin manager of
