specia, Correspondence of The Star.

LONDON, June T. 1905.
TOR the third time in less than two
months Kaiser William of Germany
has managed to get himself into a
terrible mess over the diplomatic repre-
sentation OF foreign countries. First, the
German emperor objected TO the appoint
ment of Mr.. Hill to succeed Charlie
maSne Tower as ambassador from the
United States at Berlin. chiefly because
the formers head was better filled than
h.s pockets. then he kicked against the
transfer of the Norwegian minister at

expressed wishes TO the contrary the
British foreign office has altered it's mind

German emperor was especially anxious

Washington eight years ago. She is one
of the most beautiful as we'll as one of
the most popular Anglo American hostess
es in London society. The second rea-
son for the kaiser's preference is the fact
that Sir Gerald is a cousin of Lord Ions
dale, the German rulers most intimate
friend in England and his host on sew
eral occasions. 1t was Lord Lonsdale
who some years ago said in public that
mo finer nature existed in all the world
than that of the German emperor" He
has frequently been dubbed the kaiser S
unofficial representative in Great Britain.
He is an immensely wealthy nobleman,
the owner of 10000 acres, the head of
the Lowther family, one of the most pow
erful i'll present-day England and 1t is an
open secret that Sir Gerald can have Just
about what he wants in the way of diplo-
matte plums- That he has elected to go
to Constantinople, where he succeeds the
late Sir Nicholas O'Connor instead of
to Berlin is a big surprise.
Sir Gerald was mentioned last year as
the. probable successor to Sir Mortimer
Durand as ambassador to the United
States. but II was then pointed out thai
he had married an American woman and
1t was rule of the British diplomatic
service never to appoint an ambassador tn

The gentleman was realiy present at every division, but he was snatching sleep at intervals in one oi the recesses of the house.
 Mir. Pease, however. not having no ticed him in the division lobby, sent a telegram to his house at seven O'CLOCK in the morning. saying: Come down at once and relieve ne guard ana those at work all night"
 The member turned up at his own house at eight o'clock in the morning and expected to find warm welcome from his wife and family and good deal of sympathy for having been in the house all night.
 But his wife's greeting was; "Wnere have you been?" He replied: T nave been at the house at an all night sit- ting" ..

No Might Rider" Business for Ar
 kansas.

If it develops that there is any suspicious movement of the Night Riders stamp in Arkansas, the governor, the military and all good citizenship of the state should act with such vigor as to stamp it out in it's incipiency. No punishment is too severe for such law violaters. The Night Riders of Kentucky have put up the bars against immigration into that state for another score of years, by their lawlessness. Good citizens will not take their families and go to state to make their homes where the lawless ride by night to apply the torch and are not summariy punished for it. Fertile lands, rich minerals, fine forests and all the resources a state may have will not induce homeseekers where notorious lawlessness prevails. Only little of the Night Rider" busi- ness will uet Arkansas back another decade or two and the efforts of those who are spending time and money to induce capital and home seekers to come here will be wholly nullified. We have looked upon these stories of threatened gin burn. ings largely as idle rumors, but il seems now as though there might be trifle of substance in them Arkansas cannot afford to pay the price of tolerating any outlawry along this line, and the first move should arouse the state government and the good citizenship of the state to such pitch of activity that sum mary punishment would be dealt Southwest American.

 When I reached them, however, che appeared to have been won over, for they dropped their pail and the young man said;
 Sallie's just said yes, parson. How'd it do to jine us right where we're at?'

 "Ihe young man said. Thank you, and kissed his bride. They picked up their bucket and resumed their CT. rand.

THIS OFFICER MEANS BUSINESS
Sheriff House of Lonoke County Leaves
 Bed to Check Night Riders.

Little Rock, Oct. 10.-Confined for three weeks in St. Vincent's Infirmary in this city, still very sick and weak and on the verge of being forced to undergo an op- eration, Sheriff M. c. House of Lonoke county, who was inform ed by telephone Friday evening that night rider notices had been posted on several plantations in the vicinity of England, boarded train for his home yesterday af- ternoon, to assume control of the large force of men he caused to be deputized for the purpose oi protecting the gins and crops of the threatened farmers.
 II feel that if ever the people of my county needed me, 1t is now" said the plucky officer as he left the hospital. And I be- lieve that, afflicted and compara. lively useless as I am, it is my duty to the men who elected me for me to be on the scene and forestall, if possible, any attempts at violence"
 Sheriff House reached his de. cision to defy the probable re- lapse in his condition yesterday morning, after telephone con- versation with Ben Grlffiu of Con. way, former state secretary of the Farmers Union. Mir. Griffin said that 1t was not the Farmers Union who IS posting the notices, but a class of men desperate enough to carry out the threats.
 The physicians of the sheriff in this city strenuously objected to his leaving at this time, warn. ing him that the excitement and overwork might result fatally to him or at least speed the necessity of the operation that he must eventually undergo.

But the citizens of Garland county who, bear ing American flags, and in broad daylight rode the streets of Hot Springs demanding that their votes be counted as cast, are in another class. The first are unfit for Ameri- can citizenship.
