Does Europe in Twenty Days and Is
Bound for Washington.

From the New Yck Telegraph
When the American Line steamer St.
Louis docked, an East Indian prince and
his princess were among the first to go
ashore. attracting much attention by
their garb and their strongly cast fea-
lures. They are travelling incog.. being
listed on the vessels passenger list
merely as Mr.. and Mrs. Sinha.
The prince said that his name is Ma
handler Berdah sinha, and that his home
is in Brindadia, India. He said he is in
his twenties. but he looks much older
He wore an American frock suit, but
a turban surmounted his head His Jet
black beard was parted in the middle
The princess is slight in build with
fine features. She wore the ''sari" garb
q costume in which the waist and head
covering are in one piece. 1t was a deli
cate pink, showing in real Oriental con-
trast to a green waist with fligree
sleeves. she had six earrings in one ear
and seven in the other, and a golden
nose ornament
The prince said he left Bombay for a
trip around the world He hustled
through Europe in twenty days. He

70 to Washington. He asked where he
could find a hotel in this city where he
can be up very, very high. He was tod

and said he would go there and get the
highest price suite he can.

BIGGER GAME THAN BEARS.
President Can HUNT Outlaws for q

If the President is IN search Of nov

These outlaws for the most part are
a good lot, as outlaws 20. They bother
no one who does not bother them. and
they are grateful in the extreme for any
kindness shown them. Only a favored

PREDICTS PETROL FAMINE.
British Motorists Committee Looks
TO Alcohol as Fuel Of Future.

The London Times. referring TO the
report of the committee appointed Tor
the Motor Union of Great Britain and
Ireland. to inquire into the price OF petrol
and to suggest what steps, if any. can
be taken to protect the interests OF the
private consumer. says that the report
represents a large number of sittings of
the committee, examination of witnesses,
experts. &c. and from information thus
obtained the committee finds that pc
troll famine is certain to occur sooner or
later.
1t asserts that while this shortage Of
petrol Is a certainty, the fact is not ap-
parently appreciated by the manufac-
turers of motors. It sets out list Of
fuels other than petrol and OF the six
named, but "alcoh0I'-is unlimited

BRITISH YACHTsMEN PLEASED.
Glad that Upton Is to Build n
Larger Boaf.

Larger BOAT
London. Oct. 12.-There is reason for
satisfaction IN Sir Thomas Liptons de-
cision to build a 23-meter yacht 10 take
part in racing in British waters next sea-
son, writes the yachting correspondent Of
the Yorkshire Post
Twenty -three-meter vessels are the big
gest built under the international rule
and the class this season consisted Of the
White Heather the Brynhild. and the
Nyria.
The vast superiority Of the White
Heather over her two competitors almost
threatened the very existence of the
class. The new boat now coming out un-
der Sir Thomas colors VIII set at rest
any doubts as TO the immediate future Of
the class, and this fact in itself will be
regarded by yachtsmen throughout the
country as ample Tecompense for any
appointment which may be felt at the
failure of negotiations TO bring about an
other contest for the Americas Cup.
The design Of the new craft is TO be in
trusted 10 W Fife. and the shell Is to be
built at Fairlie yard, where special pro-
vision recently was made for the con-
struction of the yachts big dimensions.
Sir Thomas never hitherto has taken
an active part IN racing In this country.
Although the yachting season of 1907 is
only just passed, yachtsmen are looking
forward 10 next year, and some other or
ders for new craft already have been
placed.

KOREANS BALK AT REFORM.
Effort At Education and Mod
ernizatiOn Not Appreciated.

Adaohe hinnosecke, in Review Of Reviews
From the very first days when Nippon
began to take an active interest In Ko-
rean reform our statesmen looked upon
popular education as the basis of all re-
form measures. Education served US in
the days of Nippon's re-birth through the
sixties and early seventies as the magic
wand that wrought so many wonders.
Why should i not work the same grac-
ious miracles in Korean regeneration?
There was, accordingly. organized in Nip
pon an association called To-a Doshikai,
of which the distinguished ambassador
Of Nippon at Washington, Viscount Aoki,
was president. This organization alone.
for many years raised thousands upon
thousands of yen for no other purpose
than to contribute TO the cause of Ko-
rean education. Many thousands of yen
which were raiesd by the association and
sent to Korea, seemed to have found the
same marvellous common grave Of all
wealth in Korea-the pockets Of corrupt
officials. When Prince Ito was appointed
to the residency general in Korea, one
Of the first things that engaged his
thoughts and efforts was the question Of
popular education in Korea. Schooling
looked too much like work for easy-going
Koreans and the Korean boys. The pop
ularity Of the residency general was not
heightened by it,
Koreans DO not like US because we went
into their country and said TO them:
Work: we will give you money. we will
make you wealthy" They said to US:
we do not wish for your money. We
have lived comfortably without work, We
do not wish to work" And when we
made them work, they did not like US
We built the Seoul -Fusan and Seoul
VIII railways, and they did not see any
reason whatever why they should travel
at such a mad pace. We built water
works for them: furnished them with
electric lights, and told them that their
alleys, with open cutters, with their
green shines, affording such a fruitful
factory for pestlence and plague, must
go. They thought that We were too par
ticular about too many things They
asked as why we never ceased bothering
them. We established schools, but they
did not see any reason why their chill
dren should waste their lives over books.
when a fat office, which was the end
and aim Of all their ambition, scholarly
and otherwise, could be secured-not by
scholarship, but by a certain ability at
negotiation in money We found the Ko-
reans with an endless number Of strong
strings laden with iron cash. and showed
them the way to carry in their pockts
an amount of money which would take
two mules to carry in the original Korean
cash. They accused US of making them
so much poorer.
