BRAZILIAN ANGER AROUSED
RELATIONS STRAINED WITH
THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC.
Trouble Follows Alleged Intercepted
Dispatch to Her Legation-con-
Germ in Diplomatic Circles Here.

Diplomatic Washington, notably the rep
resentation from Latin America, is watch
ing with deep concern the outcome of the
differences between the Argentine Republic
and Brazil whose relations are strained
because of the jealousy over naval arma-
ments, and aggravated by the alleged in
Perception by the Argentine authorities of
an important dispatch sent by Brazil to
it's legation in Santiago.
Only meager information regarding this
late incident, which seems to have stirred
the feeling in Brazil to a high pitch. has
reached Washington. and this is confined
to that of an unofficial character 1t Is
said that the dispatch referred to passed
over the Argentine lines on it's way to
Santiago, and after being intercepted was
handed to a man who. being unable to de-
cipher it. deliberately composed one en-
tirely different in character and containing
a statement of hostile intentions against
Argentina. This alleged fabrication was
read before the Argentine congress In Sc
cret session to support the vote for arma-
ments. The Brazilian government. when
the fact of the false text came to its
knowledge, sent to Argentina and pub
lished in the Brazilian papers the false
dispatch and the one actually sent to
prove that the dispatch intercepted show
ed friendliness and not hostility to Ar
gentina. In order to do this the Brazilian
government found 1T necessary to publish
the key of it's secret correspondence with
it's legation in Santiago. 1t is said that
although this proof was submitted the
18th of November no acknowledgment of
the mistake has been made by Argentina
to Brazil.
Threats made in the Argentine press
over the signature of DR.. Zeballos, the
former minister Of foreign affairs, have
also ranked the Brazilians. These were
to the effect that Argentina would avail
herself OF her present naval superiority
to impose on Brazil the equivalence of
their two fleets and ask for a reduction
of the Brazilian ships at present under
construction, the latter government now
having under way the building of several
large vesselA in England. In this matter
Bra zirs attitude has been one of defiance.

A Domesticated Princess.

From the Lady's Pictorial.
The kaiser's new daughter-in-law, who
Ia a sister OF the Duchess of Saxe-Coburg
and a niece of the kaiserin, is a very do
mesticated girl She is not specially good
looking nor is she very smart, but she is
exceedingly amiable and capable. She
has ALL her imperial aunt's love of home
and has been carefully trained by her In
all her views.
Like her sister. the Grand Duchess of
Saxe-Coburg. the Princess Augusta is
typically German and prefers German
fashions. German literature. music and
food As a matter of fact, she has never
been out of her native land and cannot
speak any English. 1t is the kaiser's
wish that all his sons should choose Ger
man wives, and so far they have done SO.

SECURES RELEASE ON BAIL
Accused of False Pretenses, Hearing
Is Continued.
0RMSBY M'HARG, COMPLAINANT
Representative Hull Visits Police
Headquarters Today, Saying He
Believes Defendant Vic
timized Him.

The case of Jules II. Waterbury, al
| legged representative of concern known
as the Associated Biographies, arrest ed
last night by headquarters detectives on
complaint of Ornlsby McHarg of New
York. alleging false pretenses. was con-
tinued today in the Police Court until
January 10. 1909, after conference be-
tween attorneys for the defendant and
desire to investigate the matter further.
The complaint against Waterbury is
that he procured s97 from Mr. McHarg
on the supposition that he was connected
with the Associated Press and as such
entered into negotiations with McHars
for the purpose of having an engraving
made of him to be published in the poll
teal columns of various papers through
out the country. The complaint sets forth
that Waterbury represented to the com
plainant that the money collected was to
be used to pay for the engraving.
Denies the Accusation.
Waterbury denies the accusation. say
ing the negotiations with Mr. McHarg
for the engraving were above board and
that no mention was ever made by him
of the Associated Press. He says that
possibly the complainant confused the
name Associated Biographies and AS
siciated Press and finding that no such
person by the name of Waterbury was
employed by the Associated Press in this
city he concluded he was being duped.
1.-The charge is perfectly absurd. Mr..
Waterbury declared. Il never have and
never will represent myself as being con-
nected with the Associated Press. On
the door of my office is the painted sign,
Associated Biographies and that is the
name. and only name. of the business |
am following in this city. The accusa
tons are frail and they cannot be sub
Stantiated.

sengers We're sent to a number of his
friends and soon bond was furnished,

the sum Of $1,000. Detectives Pratt and
Hewlett are assigned to the case.

Man is the only creature on the
earth that gives evidence Of progress
in physical perfection mad intellectual
achievement. Pessimists occasionally
tell us that man is deteriorating NOR
ally, but enlightened communities fall
to substantiate their utterances. II
contrasted with the dark ages man
has made marvellous progress in edu-
cation, personal liberty and considera-
ton for the natural rights Of man.
The evolution Of society from barbar-
ism to modern civilization has not up
lifted all the members Of community
to high sense Of moral equity. There
are periods Of outbreaks Of crime
which startle a community, but the
criminals are regarded with adherence
and punished for their offenses. Laws
are enacted to hold In subsection the
criminal classes, and contemplation of
these laws proves the progress Of man
in defending the right. Learned judges
preside over tribunals Of justice to pro-
tect every member Of the community
in his natural and inalienable right to
life, property, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness. That man is degenerate
ing is contradicted by every circum-
stance of life. So far from deterior-
ating, man Is constantly growing
stronger physically and in the moral
attributes of society. Men are no long
er burned at the stake for an opinion
or banished from community because
they neglect to kneel to popular idols.
Man is less bigoted, less clannish and
more humane and charitable than
century ago. While the world has not
reached the eIysian Of universal hon.
esty it has progressed so far that gen
eral honesty shines on the horizon.
Man has progressed in estimating the
value Of human life. Man has ad-
vanced in physical perfection and long
evity The twentieth century is as far
dark age was superior to the cave
dwellers. The epidemic of plaques that
decimated populous cities no longer
aff1ict society, as science has discover
ed the germs Of pestilence and formu-
lated a toxin to cure it. Only one bit
ten by rabid animals now dies out of
seven hundred, where formerly so per
cent of the victims died. Man pro-
crosses in the knowledge of life and
the sanitary conditions to conserve it.
Far from retrograding, man is advanc-
ing and continually evolving higher
types Of life. Never were gifts Of char
ity so great or the work of philanthro-
py so broad in the building Of hOspf-
tails, endowment of schools, construc-
ton of homes for orphans, incurables

CONCRETE ON A NEW PLAN.

Method Followed by an Engineer
on the Pacific Coast.
Particulars are given in the Engi-
neering Record of a concrete wall chat
has recently been constructed in a
rather unusual manner by ]. f. Lyman
of Modesto, Cal. Between the framing
forming the outer and inner faces of
the wall collapsible hollow cylinders
somewhat less in diameter than the
thickness Of the wall were placed YER
tically at intervals, the cylinders hav-
ing previously been perforated with
several holes. The object of this was
to drain the water from the fresh con-
crete as the latter was placed round
the cylinders.
The concrete having been filed in
round the cylinders, it was allowed to
set during the night and the water
which had collected in the cylinders
was then pumped out and the cylinders
we're withdrawn, the space which they
occupied being filled with concrete. 1t
is stated that the hollow cylinders con-
tanned from two to six inches of clear
water at the end Of from ten to twelve
hours, the water having drained from
the concrete.
The object in providing this extra
drainage was to procure uniform set
throughout the mass of concrete. 1t
appears that a large number of con-
crete structures have been built by Mr..
Lyman in this way, including the head
gates, waste weirs, drops and highway
bridges on a large irrigation works.
Concrete laid by this method is said
to be unusually free from cracks and
is very uniform in strength.
