POLITICS IN NEW YORK.
Col. Bill Sterrett Characterizes 1t as a
 Cold Flooded Proposition.


 New York. April 2S.-The Times has this from its Washington correspondent:
 Politics is cold-blooded proposition in New York" said Colonel Bill" Ster- rett of Texas. who has been attending the New York state decomratic conven- tion. "One fellow meets another and says to him. How many votes have you got? Fourteen Well I've got fifteen. I don't think you have Well. we'll see when the vote comes. and if I've got fifteen and you fourteen. off goes your head And it does go. too. No senti- ment about. sir. Just business.
 Now, at this convention that 1 attend ed over there Bourke Cochran and Gra- dy made speeches-nothing to do with the issue you understand, which was the n- struetion of delegates. but just speeches Irish speeches. All Irish speeches are alike: you don't get too close to the is- sue. but you just sail and soar around.
 And when they got through, up got this fellow McCarren. Ever see him? He reminded me of one of those phantoms you see in the circus-ten feet high, should calculate. and hot-blooded as a day in January. They hissed him. He waited for the hissng to subside, and then called Grady a liar with no more emotion than mackerel. No sentiment about 1t whatever, sir. You really can't conceive what an unsentimental affair it all was.

Japanese Traits.

From the New York World
 A characteristic trait with the Japanese is their affection for inanimate nature Their care for trees is as tender and considerate if forests were collections or human beings. Bishop Brent. of the Philippines, says in the Outlook that trees seem to be more than trees to the Jap enese; they are pupils to be taught friends to be served. In their early youth he trains them according to their bent, turning their eccentricities into beauty. trailing the lacework tracery of some sprawlng branch down hillside or along a wall, planting them with fascinating ir- eguarity-"carefully carelessly"
 English is quite extensively understood among students, owing to the fact that 1t is widely taught in schools and uni versailles
 Japan's first experience in colonial ad- ministration is greatly to her credit Formosa bristles with problems, but they are being handled with judgment and skill. The interior is peopled with head hunting savages; they are apparently intractable, and are continually harass- ing workers on tea plantations and in the camphor camps.
 The prisons are models of industry and cleanliness fine hospitals where advanced scientific work is going on have been es- abolished in various centres railroads are being constructed, Keelung C'keerung."

Too Many Musical Girls.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph
 At the Paris Conservatoire the gov erning body has been obliged to appeal to the minister of public instruction to protect the male pupils from the en- croachments of the ladies. The latter threatened to monopolze the classes of stringed instruments. The maximum number of pupils of both sexes in each class is ten, and the proportion of women or girls to men or boys has now grown to six or seven in the classes for violin, harp, Violincello and even double bass leaving, therefore, a miserable masculine minority of only three or four per instru- ment But the minister has now used his authority for the protection of the overwhelmed men and has just issued a decree limiting the number of feminine pupils to four in each class of stringed instruments.
