Do Queer Things.
Andrew White, for SO long our rep
resentative at st. Petersburg, tells in
his biography of the many strange re-
quests made of him. Perhaps the
quaintest was letter from a town
i'll the middle west which reached
him when he was at Berlin. The let
ter was accompanied by a package of
cheap cotton cloth in squares, and
made the modest request that he have
the emperor and Prince Bismarck di-
vide them up and place on each their
Signatures.
It was explained that there was a
church fair to be held in the town
and it was desired to place on sale a
number of patchwork quilts contain
ing the signatures of the rules of
Europe, as well as the leading Amer
leans, Packets, it was explained, had
been sent to the other embassies, and
it was expected that the quilts would
prove quite profitable article of sale.
The incident is more than matched
by the experience Of our minister to
France, who received a note remind
ing him that he was in Paris as the
representative of the American people.
As the writer felt that she had the
right to share his time with the rest

THE UNEASY CHAIR

d STUDIES IN COLONIAL ADMINS
TRATlON.-The east has always been,
to us of the west the land of mystery,
full of charm, full OF all the possibilities
Of which we could dream-just as ages
ago the west, with its pillars of Hercules
It's Atlantis, Its Gardens of the Hesper-
ides, was the region of charm, Esof mys-
terry, 8for the sdwellers in the east. Both
have their known and their unknown
history. Both have their law ofSdevelop-
ment, perhaps; but what that law is.
seems by no means so simple as Mr..
Alleyne Ireland would have us believe, in
ms recent book on The Far Eastern
Tropics. Nevertheless. the book is adj
mifably written. 1t gives a brief and re-
markedly clear account Of the British,
French, Dutch and American Dependent
cfes In tropical far east, including Hong
kong, British North BolT.eo Sarawak,
Burma; the Federated Malay states, the
Straits settlements, French Indo- China,
Java and the Philippines. =
The whole book is interesting and
points to abundant sources of information
concerning the founding, building up and
management of these dependencies 1t
ought to be helpful in pointing out diff
culties and mistakes to be avoided by our
own government in the administration of
Philippine affairs. About third of
the volume is devoted to our acquisi-
ton and management of the Philippine
islands and their people. The praise OF
our soldiers and sailors is eminently graf
flying. The criticism ! of the political
arrangement and administration of af-
fairs will taste bitter to many palates;
but where mistakes have been made we
need to face the situation, and learn just
where and how We are in error, and then
set to work, to make corrections.
The book is dispassionate-on the
whole candid and kindly, tho severe in
some of its criticisms. OF value also In
solving insular problems is an appendix
with statistical tables and comprehen-
sive photography. A complete index adds
to the worth of the book as a work OF
reference. w. R. K,

New England Weather.

tercstcd to look over Mark Twain s
treatise on the New England climate.
Since they arrived in Portsmouth they
have experienced nearly every kind of
New England weather, from the suicide
to the homicide varieties. There are
kinds of New England weather which
would cause you to kick your grand
mother; there are kinds which would
make you fall in love with Malay,
should one cross your path.
The ENJOYS have been against all the
kinds. During their first week in Ports
mouth it was unbearably hot Saturday
it was cold and dreary, and how cold
and how dreary the New England coast
can be when it tries! Sunday was fair
and bright because New England is
quite religious and does not dare to
treat the Lord s day to the kind Of
weather it gives lots of other people.
Tuesday it stormed and so did the plen-
ipotentiaries. Yesterday the weather
cleared, and going back to the hotel the
Russians and Japanese were treated to
view of perfect New England sun
set. They should have gone right back
to the navy yard and signed the treaty.

taken. On the first day only FIVE spe-
cial street cars had been asked for, and
it was feared that the facilities would
be swamped, but the street car company
with wise foresight had doubled the
number of special cars. and had also
sent several more. The crowd was
handled without difficulty and the tired

This shows that the three congress
sional districts comprising the south
ern third of the state have practically
stood still in population. No one ex-
poets this condition to be permanent,
of course. 1t is due to the temporary
rush for cheaper lands. The sixth and
seventh, comprising the central and
west central counties, have made fair
gains. The ninth has done consider
ably better, but the gain was princi-
pally in the eastern counties of Bel
trami, Clearwater and Roseau, rather
than in the older settled 'valley'
counties. The fourth district shows a
goou gain, ST.. Paul being responsible
for the bulk of it, and the fifth, com
prising Hennepin county, has gained
more people than any other district in
the state. The eighth district, however,
has made the best relative showing.
The rapid growth of the mining towns
and the settlement of cut-over timber
lands in the northern counties has
given them an immense impetus, and
the district has added more than a
third to it's 1900 population.
Of The thirteen counties that de-
. creased in the last FIVE years, six are
in the first district, three in the sec
ond and four in the third district.
4 The table presents some eloquent rea-
sons for congressional reapportion-
ment after the next federal census,
whether the state gets an additional
congressman or not. The. inequality
between districts is glaring and ought
to be corrected at once; but this can
hardly be expected of the next legls-
lature which will have 4 legislative
reapportionment to make, ana could
hardly be expected to make rev con
pressional division. Minneapolis is the
chief sufferer from the Inequality. The

italian Program at Harriet.

The special program Of Scandinavian
music brought out a rather large crowd
to the Lake Harriet pavilion last night.
The cOrnet and clarinet solos given by
Messrs. Nappa and Pagano, respectively,
were full of interest. The .'Peer Gynt"
suite was one of the greatest successes of
the evening. The programs arranged for
this afternoon are very popular.
For this evening Fanciulli has arranged
an Italian program AS many Italian
directors have appeared here in the last
few years, it will be interesting to see
the difference between those leaders and
Fanciulli. In giving Wagner he proved
a great surprise. His Interpretation Of
French and Russian music was excep-
uonal, and there is no doubt that he will
bring out some new beauties in his rem
dition of the Italian masterpieces .,
The program will open with the In
augurar' grand march, which was COM
posed by Fanciulli for the second inaug-
uration of Cleveland. Two of the great
est pieces for band rendition; Andrea
Chenier'' and SAUL which met with
such great success when played last
week. will also be given. BY special re-
quest, the grand selection, 'Mephistoph-
eles," will find a place on the program.
The ever-popular intermezzo, "Cavalleria
Rusticana," by Mascagni, will be heard.
Verdi will be represented by the duet
from II Trovatore'' and the quartet from
'Rigoletto.' The duet will be given by
Messrs. Nappa and La Penna. whose solo
work pleased the large audiences last
week. The beautiful proldg from Il
Pagliacci will have it's place on the pro-
gram The dramatic overture, Saul"
which describes the fury of Saul and the
tender solicitude of David will close the
program.
