AMERICA IS MODEL
FOR FOREIGNERS
SAYS DEPEW
NEW YORK SENATOR HOME AGAIN
AND DISCUSSES NEWS OF
OLD WORLD REGARDING
RECENT EVENTS.

NEW YORK. Aug. Ex-senator Chaun-
cey Depew was a passenger on the Amer
lean line steamship Philadelphia which
arrived today. On European affairs he
said:
The most noticeable change in Eu-
rope since my visit last year is the disap-
pearance OF the American terror. Then
there was. a panic of Industrial fear Of
American invasion. The productive pos
sibilities OF the United States were exag-
gerated until cabinets were consulting Sc
riously about prospective measures, either
in tariff walls or in concerted action by
the powers. That fear has disappeared. 1t
was too hysterical to last. The foreign
mind is now not so much how to keep
the products OF American mills, factories
and furnaces out as TO copy American
methods and then with their cheaper Ia
Dor they hope to hold their markets at
home and abroad. But their study Of our
Industrial development and success,
which is very careful and exhaustive, has
produced a widespread desire to combine
with US. q
THE negotiations with the vatican on
the question of the friars and their lands
in the Philippines have done more in
few weeks to educate Europe about our
position in the war with Spain and our
possession and government OF the archi-
pelago than all the diplomacy and liter
allure since the beginning Of the contest.
Particularly is this noticeable on the con-
tinent Our attitude and purposes have
and ecclesiastical circles. and is thorough
" understood and universally approved.
There is general confidence in the opinion
that the action of the American govern
ment is necessary for peace and order in
the islands, and eminently just and fair"

ALL IS ANXIETY NOW
ABOARD The KEARSARGE

ROCKPORT, Mass, Aug. 23.-(On board
the United States ship Kearsarge, flag
ship Admiral Higginson's Squadron.)-The
wherea bouts of Commander Pillsbury, the
game he is playing and the point OF his
contemplated attempt to strike the New
England coast are uncertainties which,
aboard this ship and among the officers
and men In general, is causing remark
ably severe tension.
For days they have been on constant
watch, anxious lest some condition hith-
erto unthought of might develop, and
their anxiety is telling on them.
Still, II is the general belief that If
Commander Pilsbury hopes to wear out
his enemy by waiting game, he is in err
ror This theory was advanced and was
later rejected OH the grounds that no man
knows better than does Commander Pills
bury the waiting qualities of the Yankee
sailors, and II is considered exceedingly
improbable that he will attempt such
move.
1t was also advanced that the comman-
der of the White Squadron would attempt
to capture one of the defending squadron's
vessels and thus weaken Admiral Hig-
ginsons line of defence. Much comment
was heard on all sides on this point, but
fears were relieved this morning when a
report made to the admiral showed that
not vessel was missing.
Wndl maze the SlludliOn IuOTe COulpn-
Gated today is the fact that calculations
as to Commander Pillsbury's game have
so far been found wide of fact. The ap-
pearance OF the cruisers Brooklyn and
Olympia away out to sea today caused
much excitement aboard this ship, on
which everything was in readiness for in
slant departure.
Captain Hemphill, Executive officer
Wood. Admiral Higginson and Flag Lieu
tenant Evans were all on the bridge. The
anchor chain was ordered shortened to
thirty fathoms Everybody on duty went
to his post and the signal halyards were
kept busy with the sending Of messages
which could not be read by the Brook
Ign.
The Biddle went off short at a p knot
clip. and arriving within easy challenging
distance of the Brooklyn, the latter re-
ported no news, which answer was quick
ly brought back to Admiral Higginson.
1t was not long after this that the Brook
lyn and Olympia steamed back to the
eastward

SOUTHERN SLAP FOR
NORTHERN SLUR
ON A LADY.
NORTH cARoLINIAN REsENTS
AGED PENNSYLVANIA IN
SUIT TO YOUNG LADY
AT ATLANTIC CITY.

CHARLOTTE. N. c., Aug. PA special
to The Observer from Atlantic City, N.
J.. says Lawrence F. Holt, a wealthy
young man from North Carolina, has
caused more excitement here than has
been experienced all season, and though
now held on the charge of assault, he has
the satisfaction of knowing that he slap
ped the face of the prothonotary of the
supreme court of Pennsylvania, Charles
S. Green.
The young southerner is a guest at the
MADDEN Hall. Mr.. Green is 20 years old.
According TO Mr.. Holt Mr.. Green passed
a sighting remark about young lady
he knew. The remark was made, accord
ing to Holt, on a veranda of the MADDEN
Hall.
The southerner objected to the remark
and told the aged gentleman he ought to
be ashamed of himself. A s1ur followed
the slight and a slap on the face followed
the slur. Then came an arrest.
There Is no doubt that the Pennsylvan-
ian would have received a severe thrash
ing had IL not been for his age. He denies
having given any reason for the assault.

KAFFIRS ARE READY
To co To WAR
IN AFRICA
Beers SAID TO HAVE INFORMED
ENGLAND THAT FAITHLESS
BLACKS ARE PREPARING
FOR PILLAGlNG.

VIENNA, Aug. 2S.-The Fremdenblatt
today publishes an interview with an
Australian who travelled from South Az
rica TO England on the steamer with the
Boer generals Botha, DR.. Wet and Deiar-
ey. The Australian is credited with say
ing that in the course OF conversation
General Botha said to him:
"It is probable that England has no
need 20 fear further trouble from the
Beers, but the civilization of South Afri-
ca is threatened by the Kaff1rs. England
armed these savages. brave but untrust-
worthy tribes to fight for her; now the
war is ended the Kaffirs have not re-
turned their arms and nave retreated
with them to inaccessible places in the
mountains where they are reported to be
engaged in daily shooting exercises and
preparation for war. Unless the English
authorities display the greatest energy
the Kafflrs are likely to cause great trou-
BILE"
Referring to political matters the Frem-
denblatt says General BOtha told its in
formant that Englands best course would
be to grant the Beers an independent
parliament; that this was the only possi-
BILE means of fulfilling the peaceable de-
velopment Of the country.

ELECTRIC TRAIN TO RUN
100 MILES AN HOUR

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-An electrical
company at Lynne, Mass, is building
train which is to soon be used In Illinois,
says a special dispatch from Lynn. and
which the engineers estimate viii make
30 10 100 miles an hour.
1t is added that the track for the train
in Illinois is almost completed; that the
line is about $50 miles long and Is re-
markable for solidity and strength. As
far as possible grades have been elevated
Electricity will be the motive power and
the third rail system viii be used
A train Of three cars has been built for
the first trials. The train VIII be equipped
with u motors Of 10 horse power each.
Instead of the high speed increasing the
danger, it is claimed that the train VIII
be safer and run less risk of leaving the
rails than an ordinary street car.
The theory held by electricians is that
the train is practically electrically welded
to the track and cannot leave it while the
power is on. The location of the track
is not given in the dispatch.

Cordial Welcome Shouted
in Eastern Towns BY
Ent h II a site
Yankees.

WILLIAIANTIC, Conn, Aug. 23.-Pres~
ident Roosevelt, after spending the night
at the home of John 7. Robinson, at
Hartford, today resumed his journey
through New England.
His train left that city promptly at
o'clock but the early hour set for his de-
parture did not deter the people from
turning out in force and giving him
hearty send on.
AS he drove up to the station in an open
carriage, accompanied by Senator Platts
the crowd cheered and the president re-
sponded by raising his hat. The nora4
horseshoe, presented to the president by
the workingmen of Hartford yesterday
was, by his request, placed on the en-
CINE.
All along the line the small towns turn
ed out their entire population, each ap-
parently anxious to share in the welcome
which Connecticut is extending.
When Willimantic was reached, the
president was driven TO the public square
where he delivered an address from his
carriage.
Following are the presidents remarks:
Mr.. Mayor and you, my fellow citizens:
I thank you for the greeting you have
given me and for the chance of seeing you
this morning. 1 have taken the chance
to try, now that congress is not in ses-
siOn now that there Is q holiday at the
country to see you. my fellow citizens 1
am obliged to you for coming out here.
This nation has great problems to face,
problems in its external policy, problems
even more important in the administration
and internal affairs. We can solve them
only If with serious purpose we set our
selves to the task alike in the national
and state governments and in the local
municipality and county organizations.
I'VE have great problems before us as
a nation They ask our intelligence, but
they will ask still more what ranks ahead
of ntelligence-character. 1t is a good
thing for a nation to demand in its rep
resentatives intellect, but it is a better
thing to demand in them that sum OF
qualities which we talk Of as character.l
All Of you know that that is true in pri-
vate life II you are dealing with a man
in a business way, whether as employer
or employed, or in commerce with store
keeper, or with any one, you want him
to be a smart man, but It is mighty bad
thing If he is only smart.
Isn't that so? (Cries of Yes. yes.
that's right.O
Exactly. Now what you want in pri-
vate man with whom you deal is what
you want in your public representatives.
If you are going to get good results from
your association with a man IN the busi-
ness world, In the working world. It viii
be because that man has got the right
stun In himi because he has got COMMON
sansar honesty. decepcy- and courage. And
You have got TO have the same qualities
shown In public life. If we are toAmake this
country what we win make tan example
to all nations OF mankind"
