HEARD n PASSING

The past year showed the largest figures in foreign trade that Japan has ever known.
 President Eliot of Harvard recently referred to the venerable American republic and the young German em- pire." He was historically correct. In fact, we are about four times as old as the present German empire. Prus- sia was only small kingdom before 1870.
 A German paper commenting on the visit of Prince Henry to the United States, and it's results, said that the European idea of the wild west, New York gambling dens, California gold fields and the editorial rooms of the Arizona Kicker would have to be re- vised and brought up to date.
 News has just come to the civilized world that another mammoth has been found in Siberia, so perfectly preserved in the ice that there was still food in it's mouth and stomach. It had eyi- dently fallen from a cliff and broken it's neck, and was afterwards frozen in the ice below and never thaWed out until recently discovered.
 It may be remarked, apropos of Mrs Astor's dictum that no man can be a gentleman without college education, that learning and good breeding do not necessarily go hand in hand. Dr John son was at once a marvel of er1dition and bad manners. Carlyle was a col lege man and a rare scholar, but he was nevertheless boorish.

The republican press is trying to make the fall of Pension Commissioner Evans as comfortable as possible by saying that he resigned, that aN better place is waiting for him, and so on, but the fact remains all the same that the commissioner is going, and it looks as though the effort to have him re- moved has at last been successful. All this talk about providing better place for Evans is for purpose, and that purpose is to appease the anger of Evans republican friends.

FISHING SCHOONER SUNK.
Three of Her Crew Drowned In Del.
 aware Bay.


 PHILADELPHIA, March 31.-WitE the greater part of her crew of eleven men asleep in their hunks below deck the little fishing schooner Edna Earl, bound for the sea, was run into ami sunk in Delaware bay off Reedy is land, Del, late Saturday night, and three of her crew were drowned.
 The vessel that sunk the fisherman was the Norwegian steamship Roms- dal, from New York for Philadelphia, in ballast, which rescued the suryiv- ing members of the crew and brought them to this city. To whom the re- sponsibility for the collision is charge able s not yet been determined. Both Captain Hirsch of the Romsda. and Captain Kole of the schooner say that all their lights were burning and that they were completely within mar itime regulations. The sleeping fish ermen were awakened by the crash and rushed up the narrow companion way. All but three of them managed to reach the deck These, being caught by the rush of water, were drowned inside the vessel. The blow struck by the Romsdal was so severe that the little schooner was almost cut in half. and she sunk in less than five minute.
 The surviving members took to u rigging and in half an hour wel taken off in small boat sent to the rescue by Captain Hirsch, who imme- diately anchored his vessel after the collision.

washouts Tie Up Railways.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March 31.-- Washouts caused by the heavy rain storm of the past few days have demor- aIized regular schedules on many roads in the state. All traffic west oI Selma on the Southern railroad is sus- pended owing to the Alabama river oyerfowing it's banks and washing away a mile of track between Lake La nier and the bridge. All trains on the Memphis division Of the Southern rail- road were annulled because of wash outs in Mississippi. Trains on the Southern railroad can run no farther west than Demopolis. Tlfe track is washed out for four miles, and the riy- CT is still rising at the rate of a half foot per hour

DETROIT, Mich, March 31.-An ex- tremely severe wind and rain storm swept over Detroit yesterday, attain ing a velocity of forty-eight miles an hour during the afternoon. Consider able minor damage was done to signs and fences in all parts of the city, and number of telegraph and telephone poles were blown down in the suburbs.

Beat half a pint of cream to a stiff froth, add to it four ounces of powdered white sug- ar, flavor with vanilla and color half of it pink with little cochineal.

Youthful Train wreckers Arrested.

TRENTON, Mo, March 31.-George Busch, sixteen years old, and George Young, aged twenty, sons of respecta- ble parents of this city, made an unsuc- cessful attempt last Saturday night to wreck an eastbound Chicago, Rock Is- land and Pacific passenger train about five miles east or here. The track at this point is on a high embanlxment. and derailment could scarcely have occurred without the loss of many lives. Both boys were arrested and have confessed. Their motive appears to have been revenge for having been put off freight train. Dime novels are believed to have played part.

PHILIPPINE FINANCE.
Higher Rate of Exchange Is
 Fixed by Commission
aN EFFORT TO STOP GOLD EXPORTS.
Action Causes Discomfort Among Ezn" porters, but Pieases Government Employees NIindanao Reb-
 ell offers to Surrender.


 MANILA, March 31.-The United States Philippine commission has fix ed the government rate of exchange for silver for tAe second quarter ot this year at S2.27 Mexican silver for one gold dollar. The rate of exchange. at the banks was $2.23 Mexican silver for one gold dollar, but the banks re- fused to sell gold in large quantities, not having sufficient coin to do so. The banks have notified the quartermas- ter's department that it is impossible for them to cash quartermasterc checks.
 The scarcity of American gold IS at- tributed partly to the banks and large ly to Chinese spectators, who always buy American gold at a quotation two points higher than the bank rate.
 This action of the commission Ill making the government rate higher than the bank rate of exchange has created much discontent among lm- porters. They are unable to obtain sufficient gold to pay import duties and must consequently pay these du- ties in silver at the government rate of S2.27. The employees of the civil government are elated at the new rate of exchange, as it means a consldera- ble increase in their salaries.
 It is the intention of the commission to endeayor to retain the gold in the archipelago. The bankers of Manila say that the monetary situation ill the Philippines cannot be helped by gov ernmental action and that a region as important commercially as the Philip pine archipelago must affect the worlds markets.
 Rufino, who spent $3o.0o0 in his efforts to incite rebellion i'll the prov ince of Misams island of Mindanao, now declares he is tired of the rebel lion and has offered to surrender, with seyenty-fye rifles, to the native con- stabulary.
 General Chaffee will leave Manila April 10 on tour of inspection to the island of Samar. He will visit every port in the island and will witness the surrender there on April 15 of the in- surgent general Gueyarra. After this surrender the American garrisons in Samar will be largely reduced.
 During the last three days there have been ten new cases of cholera here and four deaths from the disease.

INTERVENING DROWNED.

Southern Floods Unusually Disas-
 trous to Life md Property.
 NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 31.-Re- ports from the flooded districts of Ten nessee estimate that the damage re sulting from the storm of rain ana wind will reach $4,000,000. Twenty two lives are believed to have been lost. Several counties known to have suffered heavily are yet cut off from communication, and the loss in prop erty and life may reach larger figures when additional information has been received.
 After a perilous night in the top Of . tree i'll the Hermitage district three men were rescued from drowning.
 The Louisville and Nashville rail- road has few trains running from Nashville to- Lynnville, eighteen miles south of Columbia. The Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis road has succeeded in getting. trains through only to Murfreesboro.
 The section visited by the flood ein- braces one of the richest portions of the state, and damage to farm lands would bring sesious results. Counties lying between the mountains on the east and the Tennessee river on the west and between the Cumberland riy- CT and the Alabama line are included in the flood swept area. Stone fences were washed away on many of the riverside farms of Lincoln county and crops destroyed.
 The loss by the flood which swept the Emory valley Saturday may reach nearly $1, ,00O,0 in Roane and Morgan counties At Hartman the loss is es- timated between $55,000 and $125, GOO. It is thought the damage to one plant in that city will amount to $75,000-
