LONDON, Oct. 27.-In a discussion OF

subject. These show that among the work
ing classes OF Paris the men spend on an
average 1 franc and IA confines a day
for solid nourishment and one franc and
~ centimes a day for drink.
The women are almost always underfed,
the cost of their food averaging only from
1 franc to 1 franc and 10 centimes a
day. as compared with 2 francs and 80
centimes for the men, and In consequence
they age early. The professor asserted
that nearly all laborers eat too much meat,
the proportion in expense being 90 per cent.
while in nutritive value il is only 8 per cent
Prof. Hallopean, dealing with brain
workers. advised them to take a nap after

Oscar Hammerstein received yesterday

nor come to New York, as he was expected
to do.
Such indifference TO 8 5000 on the part Of
a singer interested Mr.. Hammerstein The
thought occurred to him that NJ. Renaud
might be negotiating with another i'm
presario. This was made stronger when
there came a sudden demand from NJ.
Renaud for the deposit, az If there had
been no money sent to Paris.
Then Mr.. Hammerstein sent a despatch
to one of his prima donnas in Europe, who
has done much TO help him in forming the
company. Before he had time to get a
reply from her he received word from the
French bank hat NJ. Renaud had withdrawn
the money sent to his credit. The explain
alton Of his reluctance TO do this before
arrived the next day. NJ. Renaud had an
opportunity TO sing at the Metropolitan.
Apparently he had no excuse whatever to
break his contract beyond the failure of
Mr.. Hammerstein TO send the deposit and
thought that by leaving it in the bank he
might say IL a not arrived.

BERLIN, Oct. 3T-Prof. Theodore Schie-
mann, In his monthly review Of foreign
Affairs, makes some interesting speculations
In regard 10 the changes which will probably
have taken place In the world by the vino
the kaiser's grandson, who was born on
July 4. aecsnds the throne ~ william Nv.
The professor thinks II In clear hat the
peoples OF Asia and Africa will increase In
power and strength. The victory OF the
yellow Japanese has stirred them and
European civilization. which is imparting
new knowledge TO the lower races. will newt
ably produce far reaching effects. II will
be far more dificult, the professor says, for
Great Britain, France and Russia TO main
tain supremacy over the Asiatic and African
races than now.
The Hindu Banerji was recently crowned
King Of Bengal. The English laughed at
the fact, but lone can deny that there will
Be real rule by q native king in Bengal after
two generations. The influence Of Japan's
victory will also extend to Persia and
A~fghanistan. and q psn-Asiatic movement
10 becoming possible in India, China, Persia
and Afghanistan. In fact all Asiatic peo-
pies arc looking forward to a termination
Of European rule.
In he same way in North Africa, through
out the area from the Mediterranean west
to Timbuctoo, a great psn-Islamic move
ment IL gaining Roadway, while 81 the same
time an Ethiopian movement among the
negroes in South Africa il steadily gaining
strength, and the only white race with a
future In South Africa is the Dutch.
Prof. Schiemann proceeds to argue that
surprising changes will take place in North
America. Both the United States and
Canada are in danger Of losing their Anglo
Saxonism and becoming a tower OF Babel
for Germans, Irish, Italians, Spaniards.
Slavs, negroes and Jews. The Panama
Canal will revolutionize commercial COM
munication with the countries Of the Far
East and disturb the balance OF power in
the Pacific Ocean.
Prof. Schiemann prophesies that wars and
revolutions in Europe will lead to important
changes in the Balkan peninsula. Far
reaching changes are also probable IN
Austro- Hungary and Russia, but in general
Europe will present the same appearance
when William Nv. ascends the throne that it
does to-day.

the lectures AZ Berlin University under
the plan Of exchange by German and Ameri-
can professors. The Kaiser and Kaiserin
were present.
DIR. Burgess read a letter from President

traits Of President Roosevelt and President
Butler Of Columbia, and also brought him
self, the fst holder Of q Roosevelt pro-
fessorship.
The Kaiser, replying In Q strong voice,
uttered q few words Of admiration Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt as the foremost representa-
tive Of American intelligence and culture
The letter from President Roosevelt. read
by Prof. Burgess. pointed OH: that thu
friendly relations between the United States
and Germany had never been broken on
or seriously disturbed. They dated from
the time Of Frederick the Great, when
Prussia. alone Of all the European Powers,
at h moment when the United States was
at It's weakest, concluded q commercial
treaty with IL.
The Germans rendered. the President
WerM on 10 say, BtlnBulsneo service IN the
period Of the American Revolution and had
since contributed an important part Of the
population Of northwest America. In the
civil wal the German element was strongly
snti-slavery, and through its continuance
it was due to the men of German origin
that Maryland, Missouri and over Ken
lucky remained true TO the Union. Since
then there had been a large emigration OF
American students to Germany. 1t was
noteworthy that from these came the men
who are now guiding Americas higher
education.
The newspapers notice that for the first
time the Kaiser used the university in a
semi-poltical fashion by personally calling
on his fellow students for cheers for the
head of another nation. It is also worthy
OF mention that the Kaiser was present at
this lecture. though an institution Of far
reaching Importance for Germany, namely,
the new Berlin Commercial High School,
was inaugurated on the same day and at
the same hour that the lecture was given.
At the school Inauguration he was repre-
sented by the Crown Prince.

LONDON, Oct. PA despatch from Tan

says there was All encounter yesterday after
noon outside Of Arzila between Raisuli
and Boreian. The latter was defeated and
it In reported that he was captured. The
losses in the fight were heavy. Raisuli en-
tered the town last night.
Arzila, which is a walled town on the At
lantio coast OF Morocco, was attacked sud
denly and captured October 20 by mountain
tribesmen under the leadership of a chief
named Boreian. The captors closed the
gates and allowed no n to leave, but the
news was brought TO Tangier by two Jews
who shad managed to make their escape.
The Moroccan authorities were powerless,
but they asked Raisuli, the noted bandit. in
whose sphere of influence Arzila lies, to re-
store order. and he consented to do so.
While he was collecting a force for the pur-
pose there wa fear among the MoOrs that
he might use it for a raid ON Tsngier instead
of for the relief of Arzila. But he seems to
have kept faith.
