Russia

A French writer says that Russia
contains 50 ,00O, 900 horses of various
breeds, from the tarpan, the singular
wild horse of Turkestan to the
thoroughbred Arab. Perhaps the most
interesting are the Kirghiz and Kali
muk horses, the useful cavalry ami

horses of the Altai and the small

Tribute to Daan Hole.

1t is not given to every man to enter
on a trade in his eighty-third year.
But this may be said to have been
the lot of the famous Dean Hole. who
was presented at Rochester, England,
with the freedom of the Tin Plate
Workers company. The worthy dean,
who is everywhere known as a deter
mined raconteur and as a mighty
grower of roses before the Lord. re-
ceived the honor in his drawing room
from the hands of the master of the
company, E. Bruce Millar, who was
surrounded by leading tin plate work
ers. The freedom" was presented on
an Illuminated parchment full of his
toric emblems and early typographical
niceties taken from the guilds
archives. Although a very small COM
pany, the TIN platers are not feeble
folk; they have organized two exhfbi-
lions of tin and wire work since 1878.

Want No Portuguese Domination.

Want No Portuguese Domination.
The Chinese colony in Honolulu is
very much wrought up over a report
that the Heongsan district in the prov
ince of Kwangtung, China, is to be
ceded to Portugal. This is the district
to which most of the Chinese in this
territory belong. A mass-meeting was
held recently and attended by more
than 500 Chinese. At this meeting
many patriotic speeches were made.
and a memorial protesting against
the cession will be sent to WI Ting
fang, Chinese minister at Washington,
and to the imperial government at
Pekin. Most of the Chinese declare
that if the province is coded or if Por-
tugal attempts to seize it they will re-
turn to China and organize an army
to fight against the foreigners.

VEN ETHAN lACES.
Great Advance on the Methods O
Primitive Needle Workers.

Great Advance the Method of
Primitive Needle Workers.
The stamp of perfected elegance
which all Venice lace bears is the re-
suit of it's having been evolved in a
period and environment of luxury and
constantly widening art development
Primitive needlewomen display no art
ingenuity in getting beyond the sim
pier twisted effects in thread work.
The product of native Indians, of Sy-
rians, of South Americans, and even
of the Mexicans, is all fiat. Twisted
threads forming meshes similar to
those seen in veilings and with star
ground, are the sole resource of these
workers, to whom even the open but
tonhole stitch as an establishment is
unknown.
Though often most complex in de-
sign, the early laces of Italy and Spain
were equally fiat until the workers be-
gan to initiate with the needle the
raised and knotted effects of the hard
reticella or bone laces of Greece. Once
the method of applying the buttonhoie
stitch became known among them.
however, the experimenters among the
more enlightened workers of those
countries, and later of France and
England, were untiring in testing the
possibilities. Soon this stitch became
the basis of all Venetian laces. 1t was
used for the making of every portion
of the pattern, including the plain and
ornamental brides that connected the
closely placed, but irregular, motifs;
for the cordonets or raised borders and
edges, and even for the flling-in
stitches.

A Lost Idol.

The papers say that a New York
lawyer is suing a steamship company
for 81 500 damages for the loss of an
Egyptian idol which he shipped to New
York from Palermo. Times have

sthc dearest idol 1 have known
where'er that idol be-" and pleaded to
be relieved of it Here's man who
wants his idol back-a pretty dear one
at that Better for him to be content
with his damages. The average col
lector's attitude toward a good old
Egyptian god must be almost too wor-
shipful to be encouraged in Christian
country. The hymn-writer's sentiment
was safer.-Harper's Weekly.

Washington, March 22.-The state
ments made Thursday by Gen. Miles
before the senate committee on mill
tary affairs were discussed by the
president yesterday with number
Of his callers. There Is little doubt
that these statements will ultimately
lead to Gen. Miles retirement by the
president. In discussing the mat
ter with his callers, among whom
were senators and representatives,
the president took the position that
tho lieutenant general Of the army
should entertain toward his superiors
the same respect that he would ex-
pect and demand from his subordi-
mates. 4
Gen. Miles has modified the tes-
timony he gave before the senate
committee, threatening to resign his
position in the army If the war de-
partment's bill became a law, but the
public knows now as positive fact
what it had only before suspected,
that there are irreconcilable differ
ences between the president and the
lieutenant general of the army and
that Gen. Miles Is persona non grata
at the war department. Three news
paper controversies absolutely sub
versive Of military discipline have
arisen in which the president and the
lieutenant general of the army have
figured in the few months that Mr..
Roosevelt has been president.
Secretary Root was in consultation
for some time with the president at
the white house last night regarding
the statement of Gen. Miles before
the military affairs committee of the
senate. Senator Spooner also was
present. Secretary Root declined to
talk for publication concerning the
matter, saying that he had not read
the testimony given by Gen. Miles be-
fore the committee. 1t is understood
that Gen. Miles has been furnished
with a stenographic report of his
testimony for revision. 1t is well I'M
destood that great deal Of what the
general said will not appear in the
record. Members of the committee
say the report published Thursday !
afternoon was correct in substance
in every particular. At the same
time these senators do not agree
that Gen Miles can be punished for
his utterances before the committee,
whether they appear in the record or
not. OF course the committee could |
take no action to prevent the retire
mcnt of Gen. Miles. That, under the
law, is purely an executive act and
needs no confirmation or approval
Of the senate.

UNDERMINED FOUNDATIONS.


New York, March 22.-Park avenue,
this city, yesterday was again the
scene of an accident which, while it
entailed no loss of life, caused a
property loss of considerable pro-
portions. The brown stone fronts
of several four-story private houses
on the east side of the avenue sank
because OF the undermining of the
foundations by excavations for the
rapid transit tunnel. The first Sc
rlous cave-in occurred when the side
walk and areaway of No. IS Park
avenue sank to a considerable depth,
leaving the front wall with no sup
port and exposing the cellar. The
houses on either side of No. IS also
we're rendered unsafe. Later in the
afternoon there occurred further
settling of the walls and sidewalks,
and the residents of the east side Of
the block were ordered by the police
to leave their homes.
The tunnel along Park avenue,
where the trouble occurred, is bored
through solid rock. Seams of rock
for distance of about go feet COM
menced to slide in lateral direc-
ton into the tunnel Wednesday
night. 1t was not believed, however,
that any great damage would be
done until yesterday, whom the first
cave.in occurred, The financial loss
was estimated at $4,000 to 100000.
