London, Oct. 13.--The peculiar official
explanation of the postponement Of the
cars visit to Rome. owing to cir
cumstances over which he has no con-
troll" is interpreted in some quarters to
mean that the threatened outlook in
Far Eastern affairs calls for the EN-
peror's presence IN Russia.
There is no confirmation of the alarm
ist rumors. At the Japanese legation
last night no news had been received
OF the reported ultimatum.
Great attention Is paid to the changed
tone Of Baron Hayashi. the japanese
minister in London. who Is much less
confident that peace will be preserved
than he was week ago.
A dispatch to the Daily Mall from
Kobe, dated October 12. reports that
the situation is somewhat easier. but
that the tone of the press is distinctly
bellcose.

Tdnployes Asked to Work Until C
 O'clock, With Extra Pay.
 Business is very brisk at the Farrel Foundry and as a result the employees of the concern have been asked to work an extra hour q day. They now enjoy a nine hour day and finish work at , o'clock If they work the extra hour they will finish at the old time, t o'clock. The men will be paid by the company at the rate of an hour and a quarter for the overtime work But the employees do not like the com pany's proposition to work until c o'clock. They would prefer to work until z, 8 or 9 o'clock. They. don't like the idea of closing at o'clock. the old hour. for ,hey fear that if they ever commence to work again until 6 o'clock the old ten hour day will be installed again and all their efforts for a nine hour day would have proved fruitless A petition was consequently circulated through the various rooms to-day and was signed by many persons asking that 6 o'clock should not be made the closing hour even when extra work is to be done. It will be presented to the company's officials.

Portrait. on romh.tnnea

Marble dealers are taking a keen interest in an enterprise, which had its origin in Denmark, for reproducing the pictures of dead persons on their tombstones. They say that it is very probable that the movement will. spread Ito America in short time. The picture-on-the-tom ombstone craze started among the Danes as a result of the use of artificial marble. A Danish master builder succeeded in producing a stone of such delicate tints that if was impossible to distinguish it from the natural product. The imitation of the more expensive species was found to cost far less than the natural. and is made in any form desired-coI- umns, plain or futed, and capitals-as readily as flat slabs. The durability is said to be as great as that of the gen uine marble. It was found that it was possible to reproduce, by carving. a picture of the deceased person, in the imitation marble, much easier and

NOTES FROM
WASHINGTON
Democratic Politicians Cropping In the
Dark for a Candidate to Lead
Forlorn Hope.
PopULlsTs ARE QUITTING THEM
Foreign Complications Which Inter
est Our State Department and
Many Americans.

Special Correspondence.
Washington, d. C., May 25.-Certain
Democratic politicians, possibly
statesmen, are expressing much sat.
isfaction that the Populists are re.
ported turning to the support of Roos-
evelt, and state that they believe that
the Democratic Populistic coalition,
which has been in force since 1896,
has been the greatest detriment to
the Democratic party. The Democ-
racy made the mistake OF seeking the
support and cooperation Of the Pop.
ulists, both parties holding different
views, but uniting to defeat their
common antagonist. the Republicans.
As q matter OF fact many Of these
Popullsts zane from the ranks of the
Republican party, holding the mis-.
taken idea that all evils could be IA.
rectly corrected by legal enactment.
In the meantime the principles OF the
Republicans have remained fixed and
constant. and they have been vindi.
Gated by events. And now. seeing the
error of their one time belief. many
OF the Populists are coming back into
their old party: but they are coming
as Republicans. not a Populists. and
are again subscribing to the Republi.
can standards. Such accessions by
the Republicans affords no cause for
congratulations among Democrats.
