BERLIN, April 5.-The newspapers here
generally agree that friendship for EN-
peror William was largely the motive for
Cecil Rhodes's bequest for Germany and
welcome the prospect of broadening the
intellectual horizon of German students
through contact with the most intellectual
life in England. The Lokal Anzeiger refers
to the pleasurable satisfaction experienced
in official circles. but adds that there was
no surprise, it was known how extraor-
diary was Mr.. Rhodes's esteem for the
Emperor, whom he warmly defended in
British anti-German circles.

THE LABOR SITUATION.
No Conclusion Reached at the Recent
Conferences

Members OF the executive committee of
the Central Labor Union and a committee
representing the Master Builders Associa-
ton met in conference Monday evening at
the headquarters of the latter organization
in the Corcoran building. The meeting lasted
about two hours, at the end of which time
it was announced that no definite settle
ment of the existing labor difficulties had
been made. Both the labor leaders and the
employers refused to give out any details
of the conference other than to say that
no agreement was reached and that the sit
uatiou remained the same as 1t did before
the conference.
The truce regarding the lockout. which
expired Monday evening after duration Of
two weeks, will. according to an arrange
ment, remain in fierce. 1t is alleged that
,, the action of the Master Builders Associa-
ttcn looking to the protection of the mutual
interests Of the members of the organiza-
ton. has had the desired effect on the
existing troubles in the building trades
1t is thought another conference between
the same parties will be held as soon as a
date can be agreed upon by both organiza-
lions.
1t was stated at the headquarters of the
striking plumbers I'm the Corcoran Build
ing this afternoon, that enc of the two
plumbing firms which acceded to the de-
mands of the strikers yesterday morning
had discharged the men employed This
firm, it is said by the strikers. took this
action after a committee of the Master
Plumbers Association had called on the
proprietors and urged them to dismiss the
men. 1t was further stated by the strik e-s
shat the Two workmen who were discharged
by the firm will institute proceedings

Members of the Master Plumbers Asso-

The regular weekly meeting of the Cen
trail Labor Union was held Tuesday evening
at Typographical Temple, with large num-
Der of members in attendance. 1t was de-
c!ded to hold the annual picnic Labor day
at River View. A number of firms were
removed from the unfair list. One griev-
ance was fled and acted upon. 1t was an
nounced that the oil drivers of the city
were orga nixed and their delegates were
admitted to the central body. The telo-
phone operators wsre reported as organized
and that the delegates will be adm tied 10

Mr.. c. f. Dietrich, general organizer for
the American Federation of Labor. was in
attendance. Mr.. Dietrich addre ssed the

VARIOUS BILLS PASSED.
House Acts on a Number of Miscel-
laneous Measures.

Speaking on the ant-anarchy bill in the
House yesterday afternoon. Mr. Lanham or
Texas advanced the idea that to pass law
giving the President special protection
would be to make him the special object OF
cranks seeking notoriety.
He approved that portion Of the bill de-
signed to proven. and discourage the COM
ing into the United States of all persons

version Anarchists he said. should have
no place in a free government. But he said
he could not give his assent to the passage

citizen ard made it a special offense to take
his life Ee denied that one honest. law
abiding mans life was more sacred than

Mr. Lanham wanted to know why foreign
ambassadors and ministers had been singled
out for such prote ction and the Speaker of
the House omitted. Mr.. Lanham was list
ened to with close attention by the House.
At the conclusion OF his remarks the COM
m ttse rose.
Bills were passed for holding terms of the

Favorable Recommendation.

Senate bill 800. to amend the act incor-
porating the National Florence Clfttenton
Mission in this city. has been referred TO
the District Commissioners. Aue,.or Petty
has submitted a report upon the matter
saying there are two changes contemplated

April 9. 1888. Incorporating the mission. The
first removes the time limit and the second
auth orizes the acquisition. holding in trust
and disposition of real and personal estate
for the purposes of the association.
The auditor says as both amendments are
believed to TIE necessary to the best utter
ests of the corporation and the proper con-
duct of it's affairs. and as the institution is
purely charitable in its aims. he recon-
meDds that the bill be returned by the Com
,uissioners with favorable report.

THE ARMY TRANSPORTS.
Defense Of Methods and Expenditures
by Major o. F. Long.

Secretary Root has sent to the House
supplemental report, by Maj. o. F. Long,
the army Quartermaster. formerly in charge
of the transport service at San Francisco
The report reviews at great length all Of
the criticisms made by Colonel Chamber
lain, inspector general Of the army. which
was submitted to Congress some time ego
Major Long states In conclusion that the
transports were purchased, chartered and
maintained in service as economically as
the conditions. which were unavoidable,
warranted during war times and emergen-
cies: that millions were saved to the gov
eminent by the methods pursued; That
while in few Isolated cases high prices
may have been paid, yet this was due to
urgent necessity and is offset by enormous
savings in other cases; that army regula-
tons and business methods were followed !;
that the San Francisco business community
gave effective and patriotic support to the
government, and that reflections upon the
community are unwarranted by the facts
that as a whole all the transactions Of the
transport service during the emergency
period of the Spanish war show infinitely
more gain than loss.

ing of large sums to the taxpayers of the

Bill Of February 12, 1901.
In conclusion, we would state that the
bill of February II. 1901. was advocated
and supported by the Board of Trade of
this city because it appeared at that time
to be the only plan and route which would
allow the railroad to get into it's station on
the mall" and at the same time abolish
grade crossings on Maryland and Virginia
avenues, and now that the station site is
| to be removed to another locality, there
exists no reason for the bill of February
| II, 1901, and in order that We may be given
an opportunity to prepare a new pan and
| a new bill providing for the Water-street
route, we ask and earnestly pray that you
have inserted in the new or revised bill
provision repeating that part of the bill of
| February II, 1901 which gives the right to
| the Baltimore and Potomac railroad to use
Maryland and Virginia avenues. and to
| leave the question Of the railroad tracks
| in the southwest section of the city in such
shape so that the interested parties can
| meet. exchange ideas, and, If possible.
| agree the Watersheds route.

In its wake will remind all within reach of
its baneful influences of the necessity OF
certain precautionary measures that may
tend to lessen affiiction and suffering and
possibly prevent actual death Since with
the majority Of our citizens 1t Is impossible
to take advantage of cool breezes else
where. there are wisdom and philosophy In
making the most of the forced and inevita-
BILE condition Of discomforting and threat
ening environments. The only thing left is
for each one to best prepare himself 10 re-
s.st such influences of heat and humidity IS
of themselves cannot be altered or escaped.
The questions of comparative safety
against sunstroke and heat exhaustion re-
solve themselves into avoidance of undue
exposure to direct solar rays, abstinence
from alcoholic stimulation. the use of plain
food and the wearing of proper clothing.
IT is well known that the victims of ex-
haustion are those that defy these rules.
The man who lives moderately. avoiding al
excuses. is the one who usually escapes.
Peril in Humidity.
The public needs not to be told that in
creased humidity adds to the danger of the
high temperature, as thus skin transpira-
ton is more or less arrested. and the body
as whole becomes superheated. This Is
an explanation why many victims are pros
trated when working indoors and why
many fatal cases occur during the night
and after a hard days work. The eager
ness with which the slightest breeze is well
coined is Indication of natures needs in
such respects well as an Illustration of
the peril of working in the confined atmos-
phere of an ill-ventilated room or in the
bottom of a trench.
Under all circumstances of extra exposure
the great point is TO know when TO stop
work and not tempt fate. The slightest
warnings of faintness, dizziness, headache
Or nausea should be needed at once and all
Abe ordinary means taken for cooling the
head and body. Timely attention to such
apparently trivial matters as applying cold
to the head and chest and the maintenance
OF absolute rest will often prevent an
otherwise fatal issue.
The Matter of Food
1t stands to reason that the workingman
must be properly nourished. but 1t is also
evident that he does not require much
hearty food in summer as In the colder
months. Even for him meat Is not neces-
sary more than once daily. He and every
other toiIer can obtain all extra sustenance
from cereals. eggs, milk, vegetables and
fruits. The midday meal should be the sub
stantial one, with a light breakfast and sup
