Trade With Persia Affected.

By new treaty made between Russia and
Persia, which went into effect February Is
last, all trade between the United States
and Persia will be affected, according to a
report to the State Department from United

footing, SO that they now are subject to the
specific duties in the new treaty.

Sanguine About Results He
Accomplished.

LONDON, March 14.-'Southampton well
comes home Britains empire statesman,
in huge letters surrounded and intertwined
with union jacks and stars and stripes was
the motto that first greeted Colonial Sec
retary Chamberlain and Mrs. Chamberlain
on landing at Southampton today from
South Africa. e- cas-
The travellers had magnificent greeting.
The quays were elaborately decorated, the
ships were dressed rainbow fashion and
rounds of cheering and the blowing of
whistles and sirens greeted the liner Nor
man as she passed up Southampton water
with Mr.. and Mrs. Chamberlain, accom-
panied by Lord Selbourne, first lord of the
admiralty standing on the promenade deck.
AS soon as the steamer was warped to
her dock Mr.. Chamberlains family went on
board the Norman, They We're shortly af-
terward followed by the mayor and cor
poration of Southampton, who welcomed
the travellers. The mayors daughter then
handed a bouquet to Mrs. Chamberlain,
and a procession was formed, with the
mayor and Mrs. Chamberlain leading and
Mr. Chamberlain and the mayors daugh-
ter coming after them, and walked through
cheering crowds to the reception hall.
MI Chamberlain Looked Jaded.
Mr.. Chamberlain was bronzed. but he
considerably. He showed evident pleasure
at the heartiness of the welcome. The
party then entered carriages and drove
through the tronged and decorated streets
to Hartley Hall, the scene of so many
previous functions connected with the
South African war There an address of
welcome was presented to Mr. Chamber
lain. who. in the course of his reply, warned
the country not to overeStimate the results
he had actually achieved. He was hope
full and even confident that the Dutch of
South Africa would hereafter Loyalty take
their place as members of the empire to
which they now belonged, but it could not
be expected that the long record of vacilla-
tion and weakness which led to the war
would be wiped out in the twinkling of an
eye.
Subsequently Mr.. Chamberlain and his
party took a train for London, where
large crowd awaited their arrival. Premier
Balfour and practically the whole cabinet
were present at Waterloo railroad station
to meet Mr.. Chamberlain. The greetings
which he received were everywhere most
cordial.
Wife Gets Full Share.
Mrs Chamberlain came in for full share
OF the welcome. Special cheers were given
for her and in the greeting of the deputa-
tion from l birmingham which went out to
meet the Norman in the Solent she was
specially mentioned. Referring to this in
tine course of his reply to the Birmingham
delegates Mr.. Chamberlain said
Il thank you very much for including,
indeed you should. the name of my wife. 1t
is indeed true that her companionship has
been of the greatest assistance to me. In
deed | hardly know how / could have got
through the great task l undertook but for

DIR. H0WLANDT DTESTIFIES

BUFFALO, N. Y, March 1.-THE inquest
into the murder of Edwin L. Burdick was
begun in the police court here today be-
fore Judge Murphy. The court room is
small, and only a limited number of per-
sons were admitted. Among the first wit
nesses to appear were Mrs. Seth 7. Paine,
Miss Barrett, the stenographer, who boards
with Mrs. Paine, and A. Carlson, another
boarder at the Paine residence. Mrs. Paine
was accompanied by counsel Only one
witness at time was admitted into the
court room. The inquest began with the
calling Of DR.. Howland, assistant medical
examiner. as the first witness. DR.. How
land handed to Judge Murphy the report
of the medical examiner on the death of
Burdick, which stated the cause of the
death
Under the law we are compelled to hold
this inquest said Judge Murphy, I'VE
charge no one with this crime. The pur-
pose of this investigation is to lay this
crime, if possible, at the door of some one"
Testimony of DR.. Rowland.
DIR. Howland was examined by District
Attorney Coatsworth He said he had been
summoned to the Burdick home by tele-
phone on the morning of February 81,
shortly after o'clock. DR.. w. H. Marcy
met him at the door and told him that
something had been going on there, and
that Mr.. Burdick was dead" II am not
sure continued DR.. Howland, but /
think he told ME that he was not certain
whether it was murder or suicide He
asked me to make it out as a case of sui
eide, If possible, as there had been good
deal of gossip in the neighborhood respect
ing the relations existing between Mr.. and
Mrs. Burdick.'' The witness said he then
examined the body, and told Dr.. Marcy
that it was impossible to entertain the sui
eide theory for minute. Asked as to
what further conversation he had with DR..
Marcy, the witness said the former told
him of the divorce proceedings in the Bur-
dick family.
DR.. Howland repeated the conversation
he had with Mrs. Hull as to the finding of
the body of Burdick, the finding of a win
dow open, the fact that there were no
tracks in the snow outside the window and
the finding of the open drawer. Another
thing the witness said DR.. Marcy told him
was that he found the window curtains in
the den drawn and, being unable to raise
them had to tear. them down.

CURRENT COMMENT.
A New Story About Sedan.

TO commemorate the heroic but hone
less charges of the French cavalry at
the battle of Sedan a monument is to
be erected on the spot where the divis-
ion OF. General Marguerite melted away
under the fire of the German infantry
and artillery. M. Emile Guillaume, the
sculptor, has undertaken the work, and
the monument will be erected by pub
lie subscription. At the request of
General de Galliffet General Faverot
who was in the last charge, wrote his
recollections of it. One would imag-
Inc that little or nothing new could be
told to the world about the battle of
Sedan, but the general gives some de-
tails which are noteworthy. Among
them there is one episode which es-
capped the pencils of the painters of bat
tie pictures. When the division of
General Marguerite, which rushed upon
the Prussian columns, was shattered
and broken by the terrible fire of the
needle gun and of the artillery frag-
ment of it, under General de Galliffet
passed in front of the Prussian re-
serves and came close to the Eighty
first Nassau battalion. The German
officer commanding that battalion. in
admiration of the brave fellows gave
the order to cease firing. The French
officers saluted and the Germans re-
turned the salute and cheered.

An Ancient Organ.

The old organ in the balcony of the
Longswamp Union church at Long
swamp, Berks county, Pa, has lately
been remodeled by Edwin Krauss, of
Palm, grandson of Andrew Krauss,
who built the organ 10 years ago.
Just one year before Eli Whitney in
vented the cotton gin, Andrew Krauss,
in his humble home at the foot of the
Mill hill, near Kraussdale, Lehigh
county, constructed this organ. He
enjoyed a large patronage for half a
century, and upon his death his son,
George Krauss, continued the business.
After George Krauss' death his son,
Edwin Krauss, grandson of the origi-
nator, took the enterprise in charge.
The Longswamp organ now contains
SIS pipes, is finished in solid walnut
| wood, stands sixteen feet high and
eleven feet wide, and its original cost
lilo years ago was $1,000. 1t is be-
lieved to be the Oldest church organ in
| Pennsylvania that was made in the
state and is still in use.

A SMALL BUILDING PROPOSED.

Nobody will object particularly to
$4,000 building at the Worlds Fair along
the lines chosen by the Promotion
Committee. True, some of the objec
lions to a large structure apply to it,
but they need not decide the question
Committee that a handsomely furnish
ed cottage of broad Ianais, showing the
INSTRUMENTATION life that is led here,
and where a cup of good Kona coffee
uted and spo linen products of the
islands displayed, would be a good in
vestment and one within our means.
The Advertiser believes that display
in the main buildings where the crowds
go would be better and cost less, but
it is not disposed to urge that view
against the general opinion of the Pro-
motion Committee that a $4,000 building
Should be had.
In the event of a building no time
should be lost in starting it. st. Louis
will see cold weather soon and the
price of carpenter work will go up.
There may be strikes; there certainly
will be a strong competitive demand
for skilled labor. If Hawaii is going
: to be ready when the Fair opens it
must lose no time now.
In this connection we suggest to the
Promotion Committee that several
thousand people are expected to visit
st. Louis next summer who will pass
through here en- route from Asia and
Australia Would it not be good pol
Icy, before the winter is over, to adver-
tise the charms of Hawaii in those
countries as midway stopping place?
In this way some benefit may be had
from the Worlds Fair crowds before
st. Louis gets any.

low Journalists managed to invoke the
wrath of the Empress Dowager ap-
pears in the Literary Digest as follows:
Native newspapers have attained
throughout China a circulation and an
influence that fill the dynasty at PEEK
ing with alarm. The more outspoken
organs attribute much of the empires
misfortune to the fact that the En-
press-Dowager has fallen under the
control of Russia. Russia, according to
these authorities, pursuing her tradi-
fional policy of coming down to warm
water through Asia, absorbed China
north of the great wall, thanks to a
compact agreed to by the late Ii Hung
Chang, who in his simplicity imagined
that the CARBON would he content to
leave the Picking dynasty in peaceable
possession of the immense region south
of the wall. But Ii Hung Chang has
passed away and Russia is daily secur-
ing a firmer hold on the forbidden side
of the wonderful wall. Such are the
fruits Of the Empress-Dowager's policy,
the immense wealth of that aged royal
ty figuring conspicuously in the cate
CORY. Our ability to infer all this from
the native press is the result of the
enterprise of The Celestial Empire. a
British paper published at Shanghai.
which regularly publishes translations
from the leading vernacular organs.
Editorial comment of the sort thus
outlined inspired the elderly object of
it with decided views on the subject
of yellow journals. One of these, the
Su-Pao shanghai, long conspicuous
for it's anti-dynastic tendencies, was
singled out by the Empress-DowageI

The subject of closing the city ceme-

of Health and will, we trust, be push
ed to a conclusion. In the past the
Board has voted against the crowded
burial grounds within the city limits,
but has been dissuaded from carrying
out policy of abandonment. But it
is obvious that the longer the Board
procrastinates, the greater will grow
the opposition to it's plans. Every
burial ranges somebody on the side of
those who. for family or sentimental
reasons. would keep the cemeteries
open. If anything is to be done against
that unwise policy, the sooner a begin
ming is made the better.
