 terest.
ENGLISH IS THE BEST
BY MALCOLM CLARKE,

Berlin, January 25.-(Speoial cable.) The Kaiser has hurt the feelings of German designers and manufacturers of furniture by purchasing in England a set of furniture for five rooms to be used in his private apartments in the imperial palace and by declaring the quality of English furniture to be su- perior to anything which might be bought in Germany at similar price.
 A large Berlin manufacturer after seeing what the Kaiser bought voiced his indignation in a daily paper and declared that furniture could be bought cheaper and better here. and his ar- ticle started very lively debate in which several artists took part and criticized the Kaiser as severely as 1t Is permissible to do in Germany and not go to Jail.
 To pour oil upon the troubled waters the Kaiser has now bought very ex- pensive set of furniture as a present to the German Athenaeum in London.
 A correspondent of the Berlin Tage- blatt has just interviewed Maxim Gorky, who is at present in Italy and
 
 Leo Tolstoi because the famous author had declared that Dante was a poet of no importance or interest to humanity.
 Count Tolstoi," Gorky said, "is only great as philosopher. His philosophy is simply absurd and can never take hold of the Russian people because it advocates non-resistance. And one of the chief characteristics of the Russian Is his innate desire to fight against all oppression."
 Speaking of the third douma Gorky said; "The present douma cannot be considered the representative of the Russian people, for the people had nothing to say at the elections. The third douma will not last long, the financial conditions of the empire will not improve while 1t is in session. and misgovernment, abuses and crimes on the part of the bureaucracy will con- tinue. "

If Europe had any idea of the exist ing conditions in Russia it would soon put an end to government which has nothing in common with civilization or humanity. The revolution will come, and it can no longer fail to succeed.
 I have often heard it said and seen it expressed in the German press that the Czar does not know the true conditions of the country, and that his advisers keep him in ignorance of everything that Is going on. This is not true. The Czar is not a weak man. He lacks, however, culture and pity. On the infamous red Sunday the Czar knew perfectly well that his defenseless subjects were being shot down, but he was too busy with his yacht to think of anything else.
 Nicholas II was a Byzantine, he has the soul of the old Emperors who lived more among the clouds than on earth.

News comes from Darmstadt, the old home of the Czarina, that her health is not improving, and that she will soon go there for a visit previous to going to a southern health resort.
 Because of the i'll health of the CZarina it has now been definitely decided that the Czar and his family will not spend any time of the winter in the winter palace, but will remain at Tzarskoe Selo, and that even the customary blessing of the waters of the Neva will take place there. Not single court ball or other festivities will be given in St. Petersburg this win ter.

 A drama "Niania," written by Mary von Witte, a niece of the famous Russian statesman, has been performed at Vienna, and is declared a great success. It deals with the life history of a Russian ser want girl, and is very realistic in its de- scription of Russian customs.

 In the play there is scene in prison where the governor visits prisoner made insane by his sufferings, and the prisoner throws his mattress on the gov ernor In doing this the actor said: T have never before been in such posi- ton.

NEW RULES FOR BASKET BALL.
intercollegiate Committee Makes
Several Chanpes
Makes

NEW YORK. June 29.-The intercolle-
gate basket ball rules committee held
it's annual meeting at the Hotel Imperial
yesterday, and made several important
changes in the playing rules for next sea-
son.
With the design of eliminating rough
play two officials, a referee and an UNI
p1re. were determined upon. The dribble
was defined as a continuous passage Of
the ball. and 1t was decided that the ball
must not remain motiOnless in the hands
Of player after he has started his drib-
Bile. 1t was further decided that player can
shoot for basket after dribble This is a
sweeping change, and one calculated to
make the game more popular. Further. as
a penalty for rough playing, a rule was
passed disqualifying any player having
five fouls called upon him.
Roswell b. Hyatt of Yale was re-elect-
ed chairman of the committee; Ralph
Morgan. University of Pennsylvania, sec
retary-treasurer, and Harry A. Fisher.
