which is said to have brought the prince
TO this country wane a bit, there is
sufficient money in the d'Amilly fam

Dawn in Russia.

Industrial, commercial Russia is
waking up at the first opportunity it
has had to do so without mourning
the instant penalty of harshly re-
pressive measures. The dark night
OF absolutism is passing, and the
dawn of a new economic era is slow
ly approaching
This is the state of internal affairs
in the country of the Great White
Car if current news dispatches are
correct. From every quarter comes
the warning to the ruling classes
that the day of servile cringing by
the toiling masses has passed away,
and that henceforth the workingmen
expect to receive some consideration
at the hands of the bureaucracy.
This view is taken even by the semi
official Novoe Vremya, the most in
fuential, perhaps, of all the Russian
newspapers. and one more frequently
officially inspired than individually
deluded. Its sources of information
must be incontrovertible, and if it
ceases thus for moment from pre-
senting the government view, it's ut
terances must be. for this reason, the
more noteworthy
In the imperial rescript of March
8 the Emperor's promise of limited
measure of popular representation
was given as sop to the existing
popular discomfort. Failure to devel-
op the plan has impressed the liberal
party that the radicals await but a
favorable opportunity to crush all
hopes of reform. They see their
chance of Industrial liberty lost
through official dilly-dallying, and
are moving to the point where &C
tons will speak louder than words.
This is the warning which the we'll
posted Novoe vremya is fearlessly
sending to the grand dukes. Any
journal less well intrenched in its
position might hesitate to speak the
truth so plainly Russia is not a
paradise for journalistic truth-tellers
The fact that this skilled observer OF
events sees the shadows which com
ing events cast before them, is
worthy of more than passing note
If it means anything it means that
the Russian people now demand more
than mere promises, and that unless
the government gives substantial ev-
idence of its intentions by the an
nouncement of the date when the
elections for the new popular assem-
bly, shall be held, the coming days
will bring with them more dreadful
things than even the Eastern war has
piled high on unhappy Russia.

A Welcome Cooperation.

A meeting of much present signifi-
night at the Riggs House 1t brought
together for the first time since the re-
organization of the Business Men s
Association the rank and file of
that body. But its greater significance
lay in the fact that it ranged in SYM
pathy with the Business Mems As
ISOLATION representatives of many
similar associations devoted to the
city's most advantageous develop
ment, particularly the Washington
Board of Trade.
For several years past it has been
rather an open secret that these two
associations did not cooperate, al
though both AIMED to represent
Washington's business interests. The
differences between them seemed to
be personal and so could not be
argued, and, as a further consequence,
they we're apparently unadjustable
Yet last night at this meeting Of the
new Business Mems Association the
president and secretary of the Board
of Trade were both present, and the
former expressed the heartiest desire
to work with the officers Of the Bust
ness Mems.
o. course this cooperation should
have prevailed all along. Without ii
each of these bodies has found its
labors sadly circumscribed. But this
fact does not lessen the credit which
belongs to the president of the Bust
ness Mems, Captain Oyster, for having
led the way to the elimination of all
the differences which kept the two
bodies apart If he does nothing else
he has by this accomplishment made
his term of Office already a success
But he will do more, much more, and
it is pleasant for the city to antici-
pate that much of what he and his
association are to undertake will have
the support of both those bodies
! which represent the business men OF
| Washington.

Cousin William.

Our Cousin of Germany is stirring
man. He is as full of electricity as a
live wire, as ubiquitous as the
measles, and you never can tell where
he will break out next.
Some time ago England and France
entered into an extremely satisfactory
agreement concerning things in gen
eral and Frances sphere of influence
In Morocco in particular. They did
it quietly and without unnecessary
and ostentatious publicity, and when
it was all over Cousin William felt
like the potato pairing when it sees
the Saratoga chips go upstairs along
with the champagne and the broiled
birds. He wasn't in it.
But William is resourceful. He
thought he knew why he hadn't been
asked to join that particular tea
party, and he swore a mighty oath,
swearing by the greatest persoItage
known to himself, that if France anC'
England wouldn't let him slide on
their cellar-door he, William of Ger
many, Kaiser und Koenig, would
smash nat cellar-door to kindiing-
wood with few well-directed and
heavy words
Now, William has never been ac-
cused of criminal taciturnity, but he
sometimes reserves the fire OF his
speech until he can see the whites of
the eyes of the enemy That is what
he did in this instance He pretended
TO be busy with Russian affairs, with
building cathedrals, writing poems,
composing music. painting pictures
and sculping sculptures-but nothing
of the kind.
All this while behind the barred
doors of his policy laboratory he was
connecting a scheme TO outwit Eng
land and slap France. The result was
pleasure trip in the Mediterranean
On the imperial yacht and a visit,
quite incidental, TO Morocco. William
never lands anywhere but he talks
and he never talks but he lands some
where. This time he landed all right
but with distinct shock There is
something now in the air about an
open door in Morocco, and no one
had contemplated shutting it, There
is even suggestion to Uncle Sam
made through his ambassador In
Washington, to come over and help
his good friend Cousin William, and
SO on and so forth.
Long life. health, peace, and pros
perity to you, William, May your
The Washington times., 1905-04-07

moustachios never grow less. While
your Uncle Sam has nothing but good
wishes for you, he is very busy pull
ing his own chestnuts out of the fire
just now, and as for his hired men,
one of them is taking Mediter-
ranean trip, one Of them is hunting
fb'ar and cares little to chase the
Moroccan kid, end the other is sit
ting on the lid at home
There's nothing doing. William

BIG GUNS HIT TARGET
TWICE EACH MINUTE
Unprecedented Shooting From Decks of Battleshp Wis
consin at Distance of 1 900 Yards in Practice
Off the Shores of Cayite

Target scores unprecedented in mod
ern naval history have been made by
the battieship Wisconsin in practice on
the Asiatic station
Training her batteries across the
waters at Cavite, P, l., upon a rectan-
guar canvas sail target, seventeen feet
nigh and twenty-one feet long. moored
i,oV' yards distant, the gun pointers of
the Wisconsin made eleven hits out of
eleven shots in five minutes and forty
seconds. The 12-inch guns were used
Reduced 20 deeimals, this makes an
average of 1.34 hits per minute. It means
that the gun pointers on the Wisconsin
are almost able to put two great shells
against the armored side of a ship 1000
yards distant ever minute.
The Washington times., 1905-04-07

The best previous record was made
by the gun pointers of this shin last
year. when Lieutenant Vogelgesang
commanded the turret crews. Tb. hest
score then was nine hits out Of ten shots
In fye minutes and forty seconds.
Although the Wisconsin had the top
scores with 13-inch guns last year. the
Oregon was the champion for excellence
of gun-fire with all batteries.
The ships Of the North Atlantic feet
at Pensacola have just begun their an
nuaI record target practice. No reports,
unoHclal or otherwise. have reached
here as to the early scores Four ranges
are IN use daily. and 1t is expected that
the practice will be concluded In a
prefer time than is usually required.
