TALKED WITH WILLIAM.
American Congressmen Received
 German Emperor.

American Congressmen Received by
 German Emperor.
 Berlin. Sept. 5.-Emperor William. upon Ambassador Towers request, re- csfved Congressman Littlefield of Maine. Bartholdt of Missouri, Waldo of New York. McNary of Massachusetts. Norris of Nebraska and Barchfeld of Penn sylvania today. The Emperor sent court carriages for them and they were assigned to positions next to the im- perial suite at the autumn review of the Potsdam and Berlin garrlsons at Tempelhof field. When the Emperor entered the hall where the Americans awaited him, he spoke to MT. Dodge: Introduce me to these gentlemen"
 Ills Majesty talked with each member of the party and to the Congressman collectively. To Mir. Barchfield. who is about six feet six inches in height, he said: If you were German. would have you in my guard"
 A variety of subjects was touched upon during the audience. and the Elm peror earnestly complimented his vts- itors on President Roosevelts peace work, referring to it as much as he did to Congressman William Alden Smith of Michigan on Saturday. Some one spoke of travelling in Germany, and he said he thought the German railroads shook more than the American.
 Perhaps so," said the Emperor. That Is because we cannot afford to have the ties so close together"
 MT. Bartholdt, as chairman of the American delegates to the Brussels convention, said to the Emperor that the Congresmen regarded the audience as a compliment to the United States and not as a personal one to them. His majesty in parting with the American visitors said he hoped they would not fail to give his best wishes to the Pres ident.
 The Lokal Anzieger describes Empe- TOT William and the Congressman as Joking together.
 You are from the State of Cyclones. said the Emperor to MT. Littlefield.
 ''Oh, no. your majesty. they come from Mr Norris's State, Nebraska" said Mir. Littlefieid.
 Nebraska" said MT. Norris. erer. getically, has the most fruitful soil in the world and the loveliest climate"
 The Emperor, talking seriously, af- luded to the situation of the world fol- lowing the o-Japanese war. He said he had observed with satisfaction that the United States was building up its navy.

The cotton crop Is undoubtedly far short of that of last year. It is con- servative to place 1t as not above lO.- 650,o00 or 3,000,O00 less than was pro- duced in 1904. There is no evidence of any great stocks either in America or European mills. and consequently every pound of the new crop will be eagerly sought after. Now that trade inter- rupted by the Japan Russian war will soon resume normal conditions more cotton will be needed to supply de- mands. when much less has been made We cannot imagine how any combina- ton of speoulators can force down prices.

H EsnouLn Nor noAsr.

Genius Is not always bar to self conceit History gives us the names of many great men who were full of it. and of many others who believed their own profession or calling to be superior to ali others. There's F1am- marion for example, who Is really an eminent astronomer. and who some what boastingly exciaims that he cal- culates the movements of the heavenly bodies a century in advance, while the weather men are unable to predict rain twenty four hours in advance.
 This is bit of boastfulness which is not creditabie, and siur on the meteorologists which is not deserved. Centuries of study of the heavens have reduced the movements of the planets to a mathematical certainty. Barring some great convuision which might change the times and movements of all the heavenly bodies the position of any planet in the future can be calcu- lated with an exactness that leaves no chance of error. and the prediction of an eclipse is just as much a question of mathematical accuracy as is the computation of interest. An error in the figures Is fatal to correct results in either case. What FIammarion or any other astronomer has to do is to apply lons-settled rules and deductions and the rest Is only a question of arith- metic, .as 1t were. and the element of chance Is not present.
 When it comes to the weather the case Is entirely different All the oe- servations of past ages and all the science of the present will not enable any one to predict the weather Tor twenty-four hours in advance. The uncertainty of the weather has been a proverb throughout all time. A con- ditlon of the atmosphere which, in all human probability, ensures rain to- morrew may So change in the mean time as to bring a fair day. storm cloud coming in our direction may be blown aside before 1t gets here. A cold wave headed towards us from the north or northwest may meet warm current from another direction and De turned in some other way.
 Flammarion was not justified in his sheer at the weather men. In his sei- euce he makes his calculations on 8 foundation of known facts. settled and imrnutsble, but the weather prognosti- cator can only reason from prohabiii- ties. A certain change in the weather will take place if nothing prevents it. If some upper or outer current of air could turn the sun or moon from its appointed course 1t would not be pos- sibIe for Flammarion or any other as- tronomer to accurately foreteh an eclipse of either. He should not boast because he can apply certain unvary- ing calculations and produce accurate results. If he wants to lose some Of his conceit let him try predicting the weather a while.

THEY WERE CAUTIOUS.

The Atlanta City Council is wise m its generation. That body adopted res oiutions censuring Mayor Woodwara for his performance at Toledo in which the charge was made that he was partially intoxicated" The Council- men would not risk declaring that he was drunk, because they might have been called on to prove 1t and the new Georgia law to punish man for get ting drunk is likely to cause enough complications without a city council being first to tackle the question.
 If the Council had declared in posi- tive terms that Woodward was drunk and he had sued that body for libel and defied 1t to furnish proof of the charge 1t would have been In dilem- ma. The old question, When is man drunk?" has been handed around for ages. perhaps, and when it Is required to bring up such evidence as will con- vince a court and jury 1t is worse than a. Chinese puzzle. And so, if we have future occasion to allude to the May or's condition on the occasion we had better be on the safe side and say he was partially intoxicated.
