IBRlT0Ns INGRATES,
KAISER DECLARES
German Emperor Angered at
Long Enmity and Calls
Britons Mad.

London, Nov. 1.-The Telegraph gives
the greatest prominence to an interview
between the kaiser and "a representative
Englishman, who long since has passed
from public to private life." The English
man., who apparently is q dipiOmatist.
writes:
Moments sometimes occur In the his,
tory of nations when 3 calculated indiscre-
ton proves the highest public service. It
Is for that reason that / have decided to
make known the substances of q long cons
versation which 1t was my recent privil-
eye to nave with the emperor. / do so in
the hope that 1t will help remove an ob,
stinate misconception Of the character OF
the emperorss Feelings toward England,
which I fear is deeply rooted In the or
binary Englishman's breast.
1t IL the emperor's sincere wish that Il
should be eradicated. He has given re-
peated proofs OF his desire by word and
deed. but, to speak frankly. his patience. II
sorely tried now he fnds himself 10 con-
~tinually misrepresented and has 30 often
experienced the modification OF finding
any momentary Improvement In the rela-
lions followed by renewed outbursts OF
prejudice and a prompt return to the old
attitude of suspicion.
"Mad as March Hares.n
His majesty spoke with impulsive and
unusual f~rankness, saying:
You En8tlSh are as mad, mad, mad
as March hares. What has come over you
that you SO completely are given over to
suspicious that are quite unworthy q great
nation?
What more can I do than I have
done? I declared with all the emphasis q
my command in my speech at guild hall nj,
heart was set upon peace. that 1t was one
of my dearest wishes to live on the best
terms with England. Have I ever been
false to my word? Falsehood tand pre-
varication are alien to my nature. My
actions ought to speak for themselves, but
you do not listen to them. Those who
misinterpret distort them. That is a per-
sonal insult which / resent. To be for

PEKlN PAPERS PASS
UP AMERICAN FLEET

Pekin. Nov. 3.-The presence of the
SECOND squadron of the American bat
tleship fleet at Annoy, where the yes
sells arrived yesterday and where he
men are now being entertained by the
Chinese government, is hardly known
in Pekin. The Chinese newspapers
have said nothing at all about the Wis
1t. The occurrence is being completely
ignored both officially n otherwise,
80 far as Pekin is concerned. This
probably is because the festivities in
connection with the birthday OF the
empress dowager are coincident with
the entertainment of the visiting
Americans.
The Japanese newspapers alone in
Pekin have any information regarding
doings at Annoy.

Chicago. Nov. lin one day after a
broken trolley pole fell or the head OF
Mrs. Julia Konold, 270s West Harrison
St. her hair, naturally a chestnut
brown, Was turned completely white.
and the expression of her face changed
from the bloom Of middle age to that
of a L. years her senior.
The accident occurred ut Halstead
and West Adams street on December
81, 1904. In Judge TuIfllIs court 9. YER
dict for SIT, 900 was rendered In her
favor against the Union Traction COM
pany, owners of the line on which h
was injured,
The verdict is one of the largest ever
returned In favor of a woman in a.
personal injury case in the history of
Chicago. The original sum h sued
for was SIS, 1000. One juror held out
for the entire mount. Others wanted
to fix her damages at rom 100000 to
5000 The esuit was a compromise
on the amount named.
A peculiar feature OF the case was
that h verdict was not agreed upon
on evidence given by the prosecuting
witness. 1t was the fact that she was
unable to tell a coherent story of he
affair that caused the jury to vote in
her favor. When she was placed on
the stand by her attorneys. Comerford
& Neigler, h could not tell exactly
how the accident happened. The jury
listened closely to her talk and then
decided that her observation-disclosures vas
a direct result of the accident.
Mrs. Konold was standing at the cor
ner waiting for a southbound Halsted
street car when she was injured. She
was in perfect health and spirits. Her
hair, famous for it's beauty. hung in
waves about her forehead. When it
was loosened it fell below her waist.
Suddenly the iron trolley pole above
her head snapped. With a frightful
momentum it swung downward and
She was thrown to the ground. Her
skull was crushed and the center of the
top of her head.
When friends assisted her to her
home she was unable to speak.
Throughout the night she was uncon-
sciouS. Watcher at her bedside no.
ticed during the night that the color
of her hair was changing. 1t began
to grow lighter at the roots. Near
morning almost the entire mass OF
locks had turned gray. BY daylight
her hair was as white as snow.
Mrs. konold submitted to an opera
ton. A piece of her skull, one inch
In diameter, was removed. After the
operation she partly regained her
memory.

FARMER, GoRED BY
FEROCIOUs BULL, is
SAVED BY BULLDOG

Dell Rapids, s. D., Nov. 4.-John Kill
ness. a farmer living near here. had a
thrilling experience with an infatuated
bull, and had not his dog come to
his rescue he would have been killed.
Accompanied by the family bull dog
kilness was engaged in repairing a
pasture fence. The bull dog chased a
calf which was in the pasture, and
Kiiness entered the pasture to force
the dog to let go of the calf. He had
nearly reached the dog and calf when
the bull caught sight of Kilness and
made for him at top speed. Kilness
was some dist-nce from the fence. but
thought he could make his escape and
ran for his life. Before he could reach
the fence the bull overlook him. gave
him q vicious toss and rendered him
~insensible and was aboGt to finish it's
work b.. trampling and goring him to
death when the bull dog rushed to his
rescue. When Kilness regained con-
seriousness the bull dog was standing on
guard ove him, having succeeded in
driving the oull away. Kilness was
badly bruised and sustained a fractured
shoulder blade. Thus the dog chased
the calf. Mr.. kilness chased the dog,
the bull chased Kilness and the dog
finished up the episode, which might
easily have been a tragedy, by re-
firing the bull from the field of action
and standing guard over his master
until he had regained consciousness
and was able to make his way from the
pasture.
