tions of friendship for Great Britain
even at the expense of his popularity in
his own country have been received with
a GOODNESS and an air of suspicion, at
any rate as far as the public and the
press are concerned, that are downright
repeIling.
The Italian court and people since the
murder of King Humbert have been cool
rather than cordial toward him. IN Hol-
land his professions Of good viii are
viewed with undisguised apprehension
as to the character of his motives. His
many acts of courtesy toward France
have never brought forth the eagerly
desired invitation to visit Paris in state,
while as far as Russia Is concerned he
has received affront upon affront and
slight upon slight in return for all his
cordial advances.
It is difficult to account for this
wholly undeserved treatment to which
he personally has been subjected, other
wise than by the explanation that
foreign rulers, statesmen. and nations
do not understand his impuIsive, warm
hearted manner and speech, and are
disposed in consequence tc doubt its
sincerity. an impression confirmed by
the fact that the acts of his government
and publicly professed sentiments Of his
people are not always in accordance
with his utteTances.

NEGROES ANGRY ABOUT
THE ST. LOUIS FAIR

NEW YORK. April 1.-THE refusal Of
the 81. Louis Fair Commissioners TO
establish negro department has

of the African Methodist Episcopal
Church and several other leading col

have a part in the fair. They have is
sued an appeal to the coIored people in
the form Of an open letter to Afro
Americans. in which they are urged to
make display on their own account
The appeal says the managers Of the
fair are inviting to it every nationality
except the Afro-Americans. and the SEN

The Field of Politics.
Politics in Baltimore.

Turned topsy- turvy in q primary fight
in which there were candidates innum-
cradle, Baltimore Is to be hauled and
battered about for three weeks more in
campaign in which the mayoralty is
at stake. In the City OF Monuments
this coveted position is a four-year job,
and the holder of the winning coupon
has power almost unlimited. He can
make or unmake political bosses, build
up machine, OF run the municipal en-
CINE in the interest of the people.
Just now it's battle royal, the Dem
ocrats trying TO retain their hold on
things political in city and State. while
the Republicans. who have had but one
taste of the good thing in thirty years,
are trying to get in.
When the tangle IS Strengthened out
in the next few days there win be found
lined up against one another Robert Nc
Lain, at the head of the Democratic
forces, and Frank c. Wachter steering
the Republican ship. The former won
a victory in the primaries over the pres
ent mayor, Thomas p. Hayes, a Demo
crat, and the latter was successful in
/ downing the machine in his own party.

The Crafty Sultan.

Abdul Hamid is indeed a past master
in the art of cunning and of out match
Ing the craft of the leading statesmen
and diplomats of Christian Europe.
Among the reforms which the great
powers insisted upon his introducing in
Macedonia was one to the effect that
none of the revenues derived from the
province should be turned into the i'm
perfal treasury at Constantinople until
provision had been made therefrom for
the expenses of the administration OF
the province. Until the other day the
Sultan had been accustomed TO appTo-
PIRATE TO his own use every cent of the
revenues of Macedonia, leaving the local
officials to get their salaries and sti-
ponds by extorting the necessary amount
from the Christian population OF the
province, which was thus forced to con-
tribute it over and above the taxes al
ready paid.
Much astonishment was displayed by
the powers when the Sultan a. once
consented to comply with their demands
in connection with the disposition Of
the Macedonian revenues, and some
statesmen more experienced than the
rest opined that the Padishah had a
card concealed up his sleeve.
They we're right. His trick has been
made apparent He has transferred
more than quarter Of a million of
/ his troops from Asia Minor &c Mace

a Much-Criticised Monarch.

Emperor William has received more
rebuffs to friendly advances than any
monarch in Christendom, and he de
serves credit for not having developed
into a soured cynic, too embittered by
his experiences to fulfill any longer the
dictates of even the most ordinary
courtesy. That he should have re
NAMED, in spite Of all, q generous
minded, warm hearted man, cordial, and
possessed of that quality known as the
/. 'pOlitesse de coeur." as well as a
royal readiness TO forget and forgive
personal anrouts received, should ne
counted in his behalf. and certainly
should render him a sympathetic per
soGality.
l am led to make this remark by the
fact that certain portion OF the Pa
r!sian press has lately taken to picking
holes. not merely in the quality, but
also in the authenticity of some of the
most cherished of his art treasures at
Potsdam. which he loaned some time
back TO an art exhibition in Paris of
the works of the leading painters Of the
eighteenth century. A regular cOutTo-
versy has been aroused about the value
Of the pictures loaned by the Kaiser.

Had His Knife Out.

There was no mistaking the tenor Of
the interview. He made it evident that
he is in no amiable frame of mind. over
the treatment received at the hands OF
the state leaders. His indictment is that
almost without exception every hand
was turned against him, and obstacles
we're thrown in the way OF his youthful
candidate.
But his victory was sweeping one,
and it was won by the willy old boss"
with the support Of some of the people
who for years had opposed him in one
way or another.
Now that he has been safely placed
in control, Rasin means 10 cause trouble

He has announced that he will take q
