/ gulse. Lieutenant Bamford is certain
that if this general is not one Of the
captured party he is in the immediate
neighborhood of the scene of Noriers
capture. Noriel has been one of the
recognized leaders of the insurrection
since 1899. He was captured on his
way to the coast while endeavoring to
escape. He admits that the insurrec.
tion, as such, is over and says that
the few remaining leaders are fleeing,
as they do not command enough men
to warrant surrenders commensurate
with their rank.
Germany viii Not Commit Itself.
There is high authority for saying
that the government of the United
States has been sounding Germany as
to how far the latter country would
go toward maintaining the open door"
in Chica.
This inquiry, which was initiated
prior to the trip of Admiral Prince
Henry of Prussia to the United States,
was to learn for the guidance of Wash.
ington whether in any event Germany
would take a resolute stand for equal
trade opportunities. This inquiry re-.
suited in obtaining from the very head
of the German empire the impression
that Germany, while willing to take
an identical attitude with the other
powers for the open door" would not
in a final instance oppose something
that Russia really desired.
This is the first principle of Ger
many's exterior policy, and it applies
fully to the East Asian question.
To Be Devoted to Education.
The London Daily Mail says that
ii is in a position to assert that
Cecil Rhodes left the bulk Of his for
tune, outside of some personal and
family bequests, to the promotion of his
vast Imperial plan of education. This
project embraces every land where
the Union Jack flies. It's purpose is
the intellectual betterment of the
British race throughout the world and
the fostering of the imperial senti-
ment.
The Daily Mail adds that this idea
Of better fitting younger Britain" to
cope successfully with rival nation
alities, was long a dominant scheme
with Cecil Rhodes, but that even his
closest friends little imagined the alb
sorbing hold it obtained upon him un.
I'll this was disclosed by the terms of
his will
The details of this plan of education
will be made public in a few days.
Meat Prices High, Cereals Lower.
Aggressive strength in prices is
chiefly manifested by hog products,
which 1t is declared, have been manip-
ulated by packers. a more reason
able explanation, however, is that the
high prices for beef and mutton have
largely diverted consumption to hog
products.
The leading cereals are irregularly
lower after an apparently futile eff
fort at bulling prices. Last weeks de-
cline brought in considerable export
business in wheat and some revival
was reported even in corn. Steady
buying and talk of a squeeze in corn
were reflected sympathetically in
wheat.

ber 1885, as against 1917 last week, 1S9

Dastardly Outrage In Rochester.
Lillian Papch, a highly respectable
young lady, aged about %, of Savan-
nah street, was found bound and gagged
lying on pile of rubbish near the Erie
canal viaduct over the Genesee river,
unconscious.
After removal to the hospital she
revived sufficiently to make a state
ment to the effect that while crossing
the viaduct about $3.50 o'clock she was
seized from behind by burly ruffian,
bound and gagged and thrown upon a
pile of rubbish near the towpath.
Before the villain could accomplish
his purpose, however, he was fright
ened away by boy crossing the
bridge.
Miss Papch furnished a good descrip.
ton of her assailant and summary JUS
tice is threatened If he is captured.
