THE MISUSE OF WORDS.

Those who find neveF-endIng pleasure in read
ing the works OF Goldsmith. Addison. "Rollcking
Dick Steele and our own genial Irving must suf-
fer something like literary nausea in turning over
the pages Of some modern newspapers IN quest or
news. Why should the society editor insist that a
wedding occurred instead Of taking place? But
this abuse Of the word venial when we turn
60 the sporting page and ind that every event re-
corded from a dog tight 90 a running race Is
classy" II may be assumed by some critics that
this word flashed upon the sporting fraternity as a
great prize through the revival OF the OlymPic
classics. and by the same token their ataletie
eames obtained a like designation. But why should
a prizehght be called CLASSY? Probably the word
Is a slangy equivalent Of high class AT any rate
il is as ilegitimate and offensive as '.erainy. d"
But the offending Is not confined 20 the editors
OF sporting pages. To SO through the eatalosus
any editorial article Yet one can hardly leave the
subject without recording solemn protest against
the phrase armed with warrant" or the aero

PLEASED WITH AMERICAN ATTITUDE
Russian Officials See Advantage in Disposition
of Moukden Incident

ST. Petersburg, Oct s.-The method Of settle
ment of the dispute at Harbin between the German
Consul and the Russian authorities there as ex-
planned in the official memorandum communicated
by the Foreign Office to the powers on October .
does not meet the approval Of the local press,
which expresses its dispeasure with the Foreign
Oflee Tor admitting nOnRussians TO any share in
the administration of the municipality.
Although the representatives of the protesting
powers naturally take issue several points made
by the Foreign Office, diplomatic circles consider
that the publication Of the memorandum affords
definite starting point for negotiations determine
the real status Of Manchuria and that II is there
fore of a highly advantageous nature
The report that the United States may possibly
protest against the Chino-Jspanese agreement In
connection with railroads, recently signed at Mouk
den, is displayed in the most prominent position In
the newspapers. The Foreign Office here has ap-
parently intention of participating In the pro-
test, but the officials pleased that the Aneri
attack is partly diverted against the Japanese
and expect that other powers will support America

IBy The Associated press.l

Paris, Oct 9-GeneTal A. G. L. dAmade hay-
Ing acknowledged both orally and by telegraph the
substantial accuracy Of the interview published IN
october z, in which he said that the time had ar
rived for France to call halt on Spain's penetra-
tion OF Morocco, General Brun, Minister OF War,
has placed him on the retired list. This action was
taken after meeting OF the Cabinet at which II
was unanimously decided to be improper for an
officer OF the army express his opinions of for
eign politics 1t is understood that General
d'Amade's only defence is that he believed that he
was performing a patriotic duty in calling the
attention Of the country to what he regarded as
the danger Of Spanish aggression in the French
sphere OF influence in Morocco. 1t is understood
that NJ. Pichon. the Foreign Minister. told tho
Cabinet he would resign unless General d'Amade
punished
An official note published to-day says that Cen
eral d'Amade has recognized the fact that he
ceeded the reserve imposed an officer on active
service, and that he is ready to bow to the deci-
sion Of the government. Premier BRAND paid a
high tribute to-day to General d'Amade's brill
liant qualities officer. He said it the
most painful duty Of his life TO pronounce the de-
cree for his retirement from the army.

ACCORD ON MOROCCO
GEN. D'AMADE RETIRED.
His Indiscreet UtterGnce Relieves
alarm IN France.
IBy French Cable TO The Tribune.l

Paris, Oct 9.-General d'Amade's sincere but
indiscreet utterances about Tamia becoming a
Moorish Fashoda and object of conflict be-
tween France and Spain expressed the growing
anxiety which has prevailed for the last three
months in French military circles lest Spain
should occupy the French sphere of influence.
The statements of the former French COM
mander In Morocco during the Casablanca cam
paign. which ELECTED prompt and categorical
declarations from NJ. Pichon, and also from the
Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, together
with the disciplinary measures taken by Cen
eral Brun, the French Minister Of War. have
had most wholesome effect in clearing the po-
htical atmosphere and showing that Spain and
France are in absolute accord in Morocco, and
that both are firmly resolved to abide strictly
TO the terms Of the Algeciras convention and
the FrancO-Spanish agreements Of 1904 and
1908.
1t IS perfectly true, as General d'Amade point
ed out. that the great ambition of King Alfonso
was to obtain in Morocco compensation for the
loss OF Spains colonial possessions which re-
suited from the war with the United States
General Weyler and the military party in Spain
enthusiastically seconded the Kings views in
regard to Morocco, and General d'Amade, un-
Willingly, perhaps, has caused a searchlight to
be turned on the relations between France and
Spain, and has thus put a stop to the wild
rumors which have been circulated for the last
few days on the objects Of French and Spanish
policy GLIB

GREEK-TEUTON KINSHIP.
German Ethmologist'S Discoveries
ReUeaL Architectural SimiLarities.

Berlin. Oct. 9.-The close kinship existing be-
tween the ancient Teutonic architecture and the
Greek remains of Troy and Micene has been
disclosed through the excavations carried out by
Professor Schuchardt, of the Royal Ethnologi-
cal Museum. at Nedlitz, Potsdam.
The careful work OF the professor during two
years has laid bare q fortified dwelling house.
dating from 300 to 200 B. c. The principal
structure measures % by 10 feet.
It brings to light the first modern knowledge
as to how the ancient Teutonic house was con-
structed. Among the fragments of furniture
found during the excavations are a stone mill
and a stone beater for pulverizing grain. There
are also several iron knives and the bones of
cattle, sheep and wild boar, while the Jaws of
a catfish, in which an iron hshhook is sticking

It is the desire of the Postoffice Department that patrons on rural routes equip their boxes with coin re- ceptacles in which to place any money for stamps that are desired from the carrier. "A small tin cup or box will in most cases answer Hhe purpose and save the carrier a great deal of time and inconvenience in attempting to pick up coins from the bottom of the boxes with cold hands. Sometimes they are lost by dropping in snow, dirt or leaves on the ground. This is the personal loss of the carrier.
 When money is left in the box a slip of paper stating what Is wante' for same should also be wrapped around the coins. thus insuring cor rect number of stamps being left In she box for the money.
