MANAGERS GETTING
 ANXIOUS ABOUT MONEY
When it is Called For Settle Russian and Japanese Trouble-Conferences Are Now Being Held in Europe-Crown Princess Assisted in Receiving Secretary Taft and Party

Berlin. July 27.-In view of the probability of an early peace between Russia and Japan. the terms of which will involve the payment of a very heavy indemnity by Russia. the finan- ciers of Europe have been holding con ierences to the end that the peace in
 tlemnity may be paid without serious,
 disturbing the finances of the world. The Mendelssohns. the Berlin bankers, who have been for many years the representatives on the continent of the Russian government and who have lle- ;,etiated many of the Russian loails. have formed an alliance with the Rothschilds in respect to the matter. and have held communications with all the leading financial institutions both Cn the continent and in England. They gre about to send their representatives to New York to enlist the cooperation of the larger fnanciers of the United States. It is likely that Russian loan for the purpose of paying the indemni- ty will be scattered and that con- siderable portion of it will be taken in the United States. -

BOLIVIA HAS NO SEAPoRTS.
Treaty Just Ratified Codes All of Them
to Chile,

From the New York Tribune.
The cable dispatch from Lapaz, stating
that the Bolivian congress has approved
by majority of twelve votes the treaty
concluding definitely the peace with Chile
which ended the war of 1S79-1SS3, needs
some explanation in order that its mean
ing and scope may be exactly understood.
There was properly no signed treaty.
but only a ''tregua," a truce or conven-
ton, by which hostilities were to cease,
and victorious Chile was to occupy the
Bolivian ports on the Pacific, including An
tofagaSta. The truce was to be changed
later to a treaty. The two countries were
bound together by secret treaty of al
lance, concluded in 1873.
Bolivia was first attacked by Chile under
the pretcxt of a frontier question, and was
reduced to impotence before her ally, Peru
could come to her assistance. Since 1880
Bolivia has been deprived of her former
outlets on the Pacific; nor is there hope
that Chile will ever condescend to permit
Bolivia to regain the enjoyment of her sea-
ports
For twenty years Bolivia entertained the
hope that some unforeseen event might en-
able her to free her former port of An
tofagaSta from the Chilean grip and mil
itary occupation, but nothing of the kind
make definite the uncertain status of the
Bolivian sea coast. So the truce con-
vention has been changed into treaty
which gives to Chile perpetual and full SOW
ereignty over the sea coast, comprising the
important port of Antofagasta. In the way
of compensation Bolivia receives special
privileges for her transit to and from the
Pacific with private customs houses in the
ports which have become Chilean. She OBJ
tains also the promise that Chile will at
tend to the payment of her debts and to
the building of a railroad from the center
of Bolivia to the ocean.

AMERICANS WORK HARD?
"No," Says Foreigner, Who Has Been
Looking for Captains of Industry.

FROM tne New 1Ofk sun.
This talk about American business
men working themselves to death is all
bosh,' says Senior Jacques Butler who
has come from Buenos Ayres to interest
North American capital in a great ranch
corporation. About the most strenuous
life imaginable is that of trying to find
the captains of American industries in
their pilot houses. l landed in New York
early in February and thought 1 could
see the citizens l had on my list in one
week I've been working steadily for six
weeks, all day and part of the night, and
so far have corraled only dozen out of
a possible hundred The American bust
ness man is the most leisurely individual
I've ever run across.
Here is my notebook in which I have
jotted down my experiences while en-
deavoring to locate the men / brought
letters to. At % Nassau street 1 was told
that August Belmont had gone to Palm
Beach, Fla, on a three weeks vacation.
At the National City Bank 1 learned that
it's president, James Stillman, was also in
Florida. At IL Wall street Charles Gates
told me that his father was resting at
Los Angeles, Cal, but when l reached
that resort two weeks later John w.
Gates had just left for the City of Mexico.
At Talbot J. Taylors office, sixth floor, 10
Wall street, which Is known as James X.
Keene's headquarters l was told that
Mr. Keene had not been down town in
Waldorf-Astoria.
AT James j. Hills office, at 80 Nassau
street, his secretary said he was at st.
Paul Mimi, and would not be in New
York for weeks. At John d. Rockefeller's
office, room 141O, 26 Broadway, the at
tendant in charge said Mr.. Rockefeller
was in Lakewood. At 1875 Broadway l
learned that George Gould was on tour
over his railroads in the south and west.
At II. b. Claflin & Co.'S l found John Olaf
Inns office closed. He was absent in the
west.
Thomas B. Mahoney, secretary to Pres
ident Mccall of the New York Life In
surance Company, said that Mr.. Mccall
was in the far west. At 80 Wall street l
was told that Thomas Lowry was in Eu-
rope and would not be in his office before
April Is. Hugh j. Chisholm of 80 Broad
street was away. So was Mr.. James
Speyer of "A Pine street, who will not
return from Europe before April Is. Il
also found that Lyman j. Gage was
abroad. So it went. Day after day / failed
to find the gentlemen l wished to inter-
view. Those l did catch at their desks
were Frank Vanderbilt vice president of
the National City Bank; Cornelius n.
Bliss, Col. Daniel S. Lamont. Russell Sage,
Judge Gary and II. c. Prick. My luck in
other cities was about as bad. In Phila-
delphia John b. Stetson was in Florida
In Pittsburg President William L. Abbott
of the Iron City Trust Company was in
Europe. In st. Louis President Francis
of the Louisiana purchase exposition was
abroad enjoying a much-needed rest"

What Grand Dukes Cost.
From McClure's.


In Russia the autocracy is the vapor ris-
ing from a seethe of class supremacy. Its
existence manifests the principle that to a
certain grade of men and women the fat
ness of the land is no more than due,
a right accruing to them by virtue of their
birth. Without this principle, the charging
on the national revenue of the huge income
to which every grand duke becomes entitled
at his birthstone G100OO0 in rubles an
nually-would be a job too gross for ac-
quiescent Russia. AS ii is, the country is
money making concern maintained for the
benefit of the Romanoffs. who render in
return little government, the glory Of
their countenance and many foul examples
of sensuality and extravaganza to an UNI
critical kng-worshiping people.
The male relatives of the car who have
rank as grand dukes number thirty-five;
ladies having an equal state in their own
right bring the number up to fifty. Each
of these lives on the country like pill
Laying enemy, and since in Russia the ten
ure of Office is the plinth and foundation
of all rank, each of the men has share
in one or more departments, and most OF
the ladies are colonies at least Thus the
revenue of their rank rs invariably sup
plemented from other sources, whether it
be salary as chief of a bureau or funds
that have leaked on their way to other
destinations. And a point to be marked
is that the principle of national life in Rus
STA not only enables this system to con-
tinue but cendones 1t. There are grand
dukes; they can no more do wrong than
they can be prosecuted.

screamed Bap tiste, and toppled over into
the snow.
Jean came cautiously from behind his
tree, approached the huddled form in the
snow, and stood looking down at it with u
malicious smile. He waited for the pros

lay quite still.
Naughty. naughty" he said, in voice

Again he waited for some sign of re-

crouched on his snowshoes and rested. The
man in the snow lay inert, apparently life
less. Jeans face puckered thoughtfully. He
stroked his face in a meditative manner.
The wind stiH screamed through the trees
and the snow came driving down.
Presently Jean arose and stepped to Bap-
tiste's side. There was a grim light in his
usually careless eyes; there were hard lines
about his mouth. He gave Baptiste sew

Schools for Chauffeurs.

The general use of automobiles in Euro
pean countries having demonstrated the
desirability OF giving special instruction
and training to chauffeurs and others con-
cerned with the manipulation and construc-
ton of such machines, has caused the es-
tablishment of special courses of. instruc-
ton in the technical schools at Brussels,
Belgium, and Aschaffenburg, Germany. A
third school Is to be established in Vienna,
Austria. Two courses are provided in these
schools, one for chauffeurs who are to be
taught all the practical details relating to
automobiles and their construction, as well
as the laws OF various countries concerning
the right of way, driving regulations, ETC.
The other course is designed more particu-
larly for the education of mechanics in the
construction of automobiles. Consul Gem
eral Rublee at Vienna. who reports this
matter to the State Department saws that
the courses Will be thorough and that the
graduates will undoubtedly be preferred
by employers.

later received a similar reply?
Bit by bit, at the lumber camp, the truth

Baptiste and Jean. With the succeeding

Janitors Want Licenses.

From the New York Times
And now it is the New York janitors that
want to be licensed Licensed to do what
and for whom? So far as known, the jani-
tors now do and do not exactly as they
please except for few concessions they
make to the landlords when the desires of
the latter are for things that will give pain
to the tenants without causing trouble to
the janitors. The licenses desired, presum-
ably, would be about equivalent to letters
of marquee and would regulariZe the acts
of land piracy which now have to be per-
formed in more or less covert manner, to
be followed in rare instances by slightly I'M
pleasant consequences. These consequences
are what the janitors want to avoid, not
because they are really afraid of them, but
because they take up time that otherwise
could be devoted to amusement.
