former Russian Minister to Korea, has
repeated the charge that Commander
Marshall, of the United States gunboat
Vicksburg, failed to allow the wounded
Russians of the cruiser Variag to be
brought on board and treated. This
fact has caused much indignation at
Washington and there is talk Of calling
Russia to account, but before such step
is taken a rigid investigation of the
charges should be made by this govern.

EMPEROR William Incensed

Berlin, May Ill is learned that
Kaiser William is greatly displeased
with the actions of some of his ministers
and especially with regard to the work
of suppressing the Herrero uprising in
German Southwest Africa. When his
majesty returned from his Mediterranean
trip he showed this displeasure with
ministerial blunders by issuing orders
without consulting either the colonial or
marine ministers. General Trotha re-
ceived notification of his appointment as
chief of the troops in Southwest Africa
in telegram from the Kaiser himself,
which read: "You are to 90 to South
west Africa. as communicating Chief"
The ministries were not informed OF the
appointment until Trotha himself told
them Of it. When the Kaiser was
leaving for his tour of south and west
Germany he again gave expression to
his feelings by remarking to Imperial
Chancellor Won Buelow, II wonder what
stupidities those blockheads will perpe-
trate while | am away this time" The
public is angry at the official misman-
agement of the campaign against the
rebel Herreros and warmly applauds the
Kaiser for taking affairs into his own
hands.

Filipinos are Ambitious.

The second quarterly report Of Prof.
William Alexander Sutherlan in
charge of the Filipino students in the
United States, has been received by the
Bureau of Insular Affairs, War Depart
ment. Professor Sutherland speaks of
the excellent health of the students, who
spent their first winter in southern
California, and also of the satisfactory
progress made in their school work.
The present plan is to collect the stu
dents at some suitable place after the
school year is over and give them a
special summer course along the lines
where special work is needed, and then
after short visit to the st. Louis Fair
to place them in schools and colleges
in the central States. The students,
as far as they have expressed themselves,
desire to pursue a variety of callings up
on their return to their island homes.
Twenty-Five per cent. of them expect to
become teachers. Some desire to be-
come civil engineers, others desire to
pursue a commercial course, few wish
to study medicine, two are eager to en-
ter the Naval Academy at Annapolis and
then find employment in the coastwise
service of the Philippines. A few de-
sire to study scientific agriculture and
it is suggested that they be placed in
some southern agricultural college in
order to secure practical training in the
cultivation of rice, sugar and cotton, as
well as acquaintance with modern agri-
cultural implements.

EX-Gov. STONE, of Pennsylvania,
said to the members of Pittsburg G.
A. R. post recently that the Carnegie
hero &nd was the most ridiculous, fool
ish and insane organization of the present
day He thought that true heroes need
ed no official endorsement other than the
friendship of their comrades and fellow
men, and that true heroes would shun
public charity fol their deed. This is
all as true as holy writ, bui in these days
of hero worship heroes are manufactured
in short order and without heroic ma
terial.

 Mr. Haynie addressed the committee and thought Mr. German should turn all the papers oyer to his successor. He declared that he did not believe MT. German guilty of any act unbecoming gentleman and an honest man, but thought when his successor was elected he should recognize that fact and vacate all his powers and official authority He closed by offering a motion that DIT. German turn over to Mr. Blalock all papers books, keys, ballot boxes, and other property in controversy and in his possession. The motion failed to meet with second.

There were no buildings for Liberal Arts, Education or Varied Industries at Chicago.
 On individual buildings tLe St. Louis Fair shows, almost without exception greater ground area and greater cost than wore show T in Chicago.
 The Agricultural building is the larg. est in the world, and the most wonder. fal palace of exhibits ever erected. The building covers T acres of ground, has seven miles of aisles, is devoted tC plaGt products, food and it's accessories and is one of the most interesting on the grounds Other sections of the Agricultural department are exhibited eS-where. Quaint and curious are many of the objects on exhibition. Several of the states Vie with each other in presenting the oldest freaks of hu- man conception to exploit their respec. tive products. Some Of these produc- tons provoke broad smiles, Lot to say he lrty laugter. but all are useful iu showing forth some leading produc. of tae state to which they belong.
 California sends several such exhib. it's. One is a horse made entirely of hops. In size and appearance this fig. uie looks just like real horse, and some of the athletic girls who have seen the animal in the Palace o: Agriculture have remarked facetionsly that they would like to harness ''Hoppyn for d drive around the grounds. aHoppy" Is from Sacramento county, where hops grow abundantly.
 Caliiornia's exhibit also shows a stattlingly lifelike black bear, reared upon hlS launches as if ready 10 hug the visitor. He is made of prunes, of the black variety so popular with the Clearinghouse landladies in certain cities. His huge mouth is wide open, and one finds upon close examination tbat even his teeth and tongue are made Of prunes of the lighter shades.
 In Ctah's exhibit there is statue of a beautiful woman in beeswax. This dainty female is plump and solid-no frame work being used; she is wax through and through, and is a work of art.
 Louisiana furnishes cotton negro This is the only white negro on record. He has black face. however, the cot ton forming bis face being dyed to the proper hue. The figure represents a typical cotton plantation darkey. He looks happy, and causes many smile from the spectators.
 A statue of the famous Indian girl, Pocahontas, made of leaf tobacco. rep- reseDts Virginia in both history and agriculture.
 Kansas has contributed huge steer made entirely of corn. Red and white grains Of corn give it color. Two biz eagles made of corn husks add to the
