CZAR's GIFT TO ROOSEVELT.
Russian Horses for the President Ar
rive by Boat at New York.


rive by Boat at New York.
Two superb Russian horses, supposed
to have been sent by the Car as a gift
to President Roosevelt, reached New
York by steamer the other day. They
were consigned to Count Cassini, the
Russian ambassador at Washington. 1t
is said the count will present them to
the President with the compliments of
Nicholas II. and that Mr.. Roosevelt will
institute the Russian custom of driving
in Washington. In this connection the
question is asked whether President
Roosevelt will accept the gift. Under
American law the President cannot ac-
cept gifts FROM foreign monarchs ex-
cept by permission of Congress. Presi-
dent Grant accepted such presents, but
not until Congress had passed measure
allowing him to do so.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN FAVOR
1t Will Soon Be Generally Spoken by
People in PHILIPPINES.


People in Philippines.
That English will be the generally
spoken language of the people of the
Philippine Islands in the near future is
the confident prediction of Franklin Nj.
Kendall, who is in Paris on his way
home from the islands, whittier he went
to investigate the needs of the country
in the matter of school books. Mr.. Ken
dali says the Tagal dialect vii! soon die
out, as it can never serve the needs Of
a people that are in rapid process of edu-
cation. Spanish, he finds, is weakening
before the all-conquering English, and
the children are picking up the language
of America with amazing rapidity. Mr..
Kendall finds furthermore that the
American teachers are delighted and sur
prised at the aptness with which the
children learn what is taught them.
