in the Philippines was well under CON

London Aug. 14.-The Rev. DR.. F.
w. Gunsaulus of the Central church
Of Chicago, who has been occupying
the pulpit of the City Temple during
the absence of Dr. Parker, has been
approached with view of taking a
London passionate, which is believed
TO be that of the City Temple, as
there is talk of DR.. Parker resigning
that charge.
Dr. Gunsaulus says his friends and
interests are all in America. On the
ether hand, London offers a great op>
portunity for continuing technical
education similar to that of the Chi
cago Institute of Technology. There
is no organization of that kind at
present in London. DR.. Gunsaulus
will confer with his friends before
making a decision.

GERMAN DOCTORS KICK ON
EMPERORs APPOINTMENT

Berlin, Aug. 14.-Dr. Schweninger
who treated Prince Bismarck to re-
Guce that statesman's flesh, has been
appointed professor of the history OF
medicine at the Berlin university.
Prince Bismarck was so grateful that
he tried to have DR.. Schweninger ap-
pointed nearly twenty years ago, but
the university circles raised pro-
test. SchWeninger was Bismarck S
physician up to the princes death,
living at Friedrichsruhe. Medical
professors of a number of universe
ties are circulating a protest to the
government against the appointment,
asserting that DR.. Schweninger has
never written or taught on the sub
ject of medical discovery.

San Juan, Aug. 14.-The news
reached here that the Venezuelan rev.
dictionary forces under General Matos
and the government troops under
President Castro are expected soon to
meet on the plains outside of Caracas
in decisive battle. The Venezuelan
revolutionists are said to have re
ceived a large shipment of mauser
rifles and ammunition and some can

life of Castro are said to have been
discovered.
Berlin, Aug 14-The newspapers
here display news from venezuela
prominently and print everything
available from New York, on the prob
able landing of marines by the United
States or Germany, or both. Unusual
interest is taken in current events in
ments of American newspapers re
speeding the possible necessity for in
tervention. The Lokal AnZeiger re
fers to the great interest of foreigners
in the preservation of order and thinks
the landing of American and German
marines altogether is justified, consid
ering the half civilized people.
The Tageblatt says that anarchy il
Venezuela calls for intervention, es
pecially on the part of the United

The foreign office refuted yester
day to local journalistic inquirers the
statement made to the Associated

board. In the second dogwatch two
whales were reported close on the
starboard bow. They appeared to
be male and female, so affection
ate were they to each other. They
did not seem to notice the oncoming

best to reach Baltimore. Suddenly
they saw the vessel, and one darted
away, but the other tried to avoid
the ship by sinking
A moment later a shock was felt
on board the Tjomo, and her speed
slackened. Captain Nelson was
warned that a whale was lying
across the stem, The Tjomo slow
ed down, and the body Of the whale
came nearer to the surface. ! 1t was
then seen that the sharp prov of
the steamer had penetrated far into
The larger part of the body hung
limp on the port bow, and the tail
was pointing aft on the stt.rboara
side.
Blood was oozing from the cash
made in the whale and was flowing
in streams along the port side of
the ship. but on the other side there
was no mark of the carnage that had
resulted from the collision.
Captain Nelson saw that he could
not extricate his vessel if he kept
ahead, and to avoid damage to his
propeller he stopped, backed his en-
gines and withdrew the ships prov
from the mass of meat and bone
that had adhered to the stem. AS
the Tjomo backed away the wound
ed whale dropped off and began to
sink. The Tjomo was turned around
and went in another direction to
prevent fouling with the huge crea-
ture, which must have been NOR
tally wounded. If the carcass had
come TO the surface Captain Nelson
would have cut off some chunks of
flesh, but the whale was seen no

opinion that it is too late to talk about
arbitration now, as those in control of
the trade think it can only be a short
time until the miners make up their
minds to return to work.

the department is in a quandary
over the problem of providing officers
for these fighting machines.
There are few officers at present
available for these billets and there
are no ships which it seems to be pos

The officers who are brought back
from the Asiatic station will take the
place of officers on shore duty and
thus furnish some of the personnel
for the ships shortly to be commits

In Hungary, the beets which are the
backbone of agriculture in the large
fertile districts are understood and
are lacking in saccharine. This is
the time of the year that beets re-

veloping. If the rains continue the
sugar product will be the shortest in
years.
