A Gun Metal Crown.

Charles crown represented the fruits
OF splendid victories won by the Rou-
manian troops under his command.
For the metal used for its construction
was obtained from the guns captured
in battle from the Turks There was
a dignity about that crown which in
spired respect.
No such sentiment, however. could
be entertained with regard to the gold
en- crown Of King Milan. For It was as
sumed by him on the very morrow of
a particularly ignominious defeat of the
Servian army, in which he as usual had
led the "sauve qui peut." Moreover II
was not paid for. Indeed I believe II
remains unpaid to this day, figuring as
a bad debt on the books Of the Vienna
goldsmith who furnished II, and who
thus finds himself sharing much the
same fate as the equally incautious
jeweler at Munich. who about two years
ago furnished a royal crown to Prince
Ferdinand Of Bulgaria. for which the
latter absolutely declines to pay until
he is proclaimed King and crowned

FILIPIN0S SATISFIED
WITH AMERICAN RULE
Justice E. Findley Smith Believes Ma
tives Would Not Change Sovereignty.

Judge E Findley Smith. one OF the
justices OF the supreme court of the
Philippine Islands. is in the city for
conferences with the President. In dis
cussing the situation in the islands. he
said:
Reports to the contrary notwith-
standing. the Filipinos are well salts
fed with American rule. think it is a
safe assertion that the people would not
now accept any other government.
The greatest monument to American
government in the islands is the public
school system. When the United States
took charge there was not a common
school IN the islands outside OF Manila.
Today there is not a town of any size
that does not have its school. and a
large number OF pupils.

he concluded. "and prosperity is increas-

PROFESSORS URGE
MOVE AGAINST RUSSIA
Japanese Educators Think Time Ripe
for Action.

LONDON, June 25.-The Tokyo corre-
spondent of the Times" says that seven
professors OF the Imperial University
have issued a memorial on the fmpor-
lance of speedily settling the Man.
churian problem.
They allege that modern complications
in foreign affairs are due chiefly 10 the
failure 10 utilize occasions that have
presented themselves.
They cite first the retrocession of
Liau-Tung. when Japan did not demand
a guarantee against future alienation;
secondly, the German seizure OF Kiao-
Chau. which might have been averted
by timely protest on the part OF Japan.
and thirdly, the neglect to include Rus
sia's Manchurian forces in the arrange
ment for the military evacuation of
north China
II is said that the japanese arma-
ments probably are stronger than the
Russian forces that are Immediately
available. but this superiority, the pro-
fessors say, is only temporary.
They insist on the necessity of sepa-
rating the negotiations OF the Manchu-
rian and Korean questions. and declare
that, considering the perpetual nature
Of Russians aggression. her tenure in
Manchuria certainly will be followed by
enterprises against Korea. which surely

Many Uncrowned Monarchs.

Let me add that crowns, while all
very well as historic relics OF ancient
dynasties, are an anachronism in the
case Of modern dynasties. The ma
jority of the now reigning sovereigns
not only have not been crowned. but do
not even possess such articles. Thus
Queen Wilhelmina Of Holland has never
been crowned, nor has the King of
Spain, neither the King OF the Bel
gians, nor the King OF Italy. nor yet
the Kings OF Saxony, Bavaria, Wurt-
temberg. Denmark. and Greece Nor
has Emperor William ever been
crowned. and while he possesses a
crown as King of Prussia, inherited
from the first King OF Prussia who
reigned two hundred years ago. he has
no crown as yet as German Emperor.
For King Peter OF Servia, therefore.
to inaugurate his reign by ordering a
crown from a Partisan jeweler before
even he has set foot in Servia or has
taken any steps to relieve his new
kingdom of the stigma which rests
upon II, by Furnishing his predeces-
sor's murderers. is calculated to ex-
cite contempt and ridicule.

Where's Professor Meyers ?
An Indignant Public Wants to Law

Prof. Carl Meyers, the rainmaker.

got its eye on him. That is to saw,

firmly set upon this scientist Of the
skies and would like to set eve on him

temper Of the American public. ike
quIcklime, is growing hotter the more
water is poured upon it.
The last heard of Prof. Meyers was
when he was sent for posthaste to
bring down rain upon the famous
reservation Of DR.. Seward Webb, in
the Adirondacks. The very name of
the rainmaker seemed to have started
old Jupiter Pluvius out of his seven
senses. He does not like fireworks
apparently, for the miserable old fel-
low, who had been boarding his wafer
until the earth was parched and the
woods were burning, turned on the
faucets and fed incontinently. Ever
since then il has been raining. and
this happened more than two weeks
ago. And now there is more than y
vast superiority Of water on the earth
and under the earth, and it is still
coming down. This is why there is a
large and unanimous call for Prof.
Carl Meyers, and demand that he
enter into negotiations at once for a

pare for an incensed public.
Rainmaking is all right if in

Is as good as a feast. It may be
argued on behalf of the professor
that his professions do not extend in
both directions. He can make rain to
fall, but cannot put on the brakes
when there has been enough. Now

science, but does the professor think

Now, all of this is pleasant and inter

of them.

fear so much as it is the possibility that
he may take so many votes away from

1t is admitted that Devery is excep-

which Tammany draws its strength. and
