Kaiser and British Ruler Kiss Each
Other AffectionateIy Three
Times on the Cheek
at Parting
[By Associated Press.1

BERLIN, Feb. liking Edward and
Queen Al andra left here for London
at o'clock this afternoon after a visit
of four days in the German capital.
They were accompanied to the rail-
road station by the emperor and en-
press and their military suites and
Prince Henry of Prussia. The leave
taking was affectionate, his majesty
kissing the emperor three times on the
cheek.
1t can be stated with authority that
in the British view the result of the re-
cent political conference between Brit
iSh and German statesmen in Berlin is
regarded as eminently satisfactory.
The imperial chancellor was assured
of the British governments unqualified
and cordial approval of the Franco
German convention with regard to Mo-
rocco
This agreement is welcomed as tend
ing to foster good feelings between
France and Germany and in this way
it will exert a material influence upon
the consolidation of friendly relations
between Great Britain and Germany.
English official circles welcome the
assurance given during the interview
between the imperial chancellor and Sih
Thomas -1arding, under secretary of
the foreign office, that in endeavoring
for the preservation of peace and the
maintenance of the status quo in the
near east as well as in the support Of
the new order of things in Turkey,
the British and German governments
are completely in accord.

LIBERIA FACES
GRAVE CLIMAX
MUCH ALARM IS FELT FOR
SAFETY OF FOREIGNERS
Crisis Comes on Anniversary of Birth
of Lincoln, Who Signed Treaty
and Sent Consul
There
IBy Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-CabIe ad-
vices received at the state department
today indicate that a climax has been
reached in the Liberian situation.
Conditions, according to the informa-
tion at hand, are grave and great
alarm is felt by foreign officials in Lii
IBERIA.
A British gunboat has arrived to af-
ford protection to foreign interests and
q company of soldiers has been sent
from Sierra Leone, the capital of Mon
rovia, for the same purpose.
Great dependency is entertained as
to the ability of the government to
maintain itself and as to the future of
Liberia as a nation.
TOday's cables called renewed atten-
ton to the efforts of the state DEPART
ment, inaugurated by Secretary Root,
to secure an appropriation of $4,000 to
enable the president to send to Liberia
commission with view to report on
the specific action this government
should take to afford relief.
Curiously enough, it was President
Lincoln who approved, in 1862, a treaty
with Liberia, whereby it's recognition
as an independent state was given, and
1T was President Lincoln also who ap-
pointed the first diplomatic representa-
tive of the United States there.
From time to time since the United
States has intervened in boundary dis
putes, making it clear that this gov
ernment was most anxious to befriend
Liberia and have it continue as a ma
tion.

urging action which brought out vigor-

heart of every patriotic citizen. If he

ST. LOUIS, Feb 12.-Just to play golf

Wright, who rose from a minor office.
clerl1ship to be president Of a big dry
goods company, has resigned. He is So
years Of age, but looks younger and
says he feels younger than many a
man of so.
When asked how he could quit busi-
ness, drop the habits of a lifetime and
let affairs alone, he replied:
''Oh, that's easy. Golf makes it pos
sible. No man who plays golf need
dread having time on his hands, and
no man ought to take up golf who is
not master of his time. It's the greatest
game in the world. I've played it for
years, and don't know much more
about it than when / started"
Asked what a young man aught to do
to get together a fortune and be able
to retire and play golf in his later
years, Mr. Wright said:
stick to his job and do the work as
signed to him and watch for his op-
portunities That is all there is to it,
Opportunity comes but once in a life
time. That is, there are many little op-
portunities, but the big one comes only
once to each man. If he sees it and
grasps it then he succeeds"
Here are a few Of Mr.. Wright's sue
cess maxims:
Stick to your job, do the work as
signed and watch for opportunity.
Go with some big concern; don't try
to do business on your own hook with
small capital

TUMULT IN THE SEA.

Terrific Force of "A Marine UpheavaE
on Cape Horn.
A sailing ship rounding Cape Horn
was caught in a dead calm, something
almost unprecedented in that stormy
latitude. The sky was filmed with a
light haze, and the sea was fat and
lead colored. About 10 o'clock on the
morning Of the second day the ship
began to shake violently, the masts
whipped and bent like fish poles, and
everything movable above and below
came down with clatter. 1t was like
striking a rock, only the shock was
less pronounced at first, but increased
in violence during the thirty seconds
1t lasted. The sea heaved in oily
swells with strange, hoarse murmur,
and it continued to be agitated after
the trAmors ceased.
Half an hour later fish by the thous-
ands began to rise to the surface until
1t was covered with them. Forty
seven whales were counted, many cow
fish fully eight feet across, sharks
without number and seals by the hun
dreds. They were evidently stunned
with the force of some terrific marine
upheaval, and when struck with a
pole by one Of the sailors showed only
faint signs Of life. In twenty min
utes after the first fish arose to the
surface they began to drop out of sight
like pieces Of lead. Whether they were
stunned and, on recovering, immediate
| ly dived beneath the waves In panic
or whether they died from the shock
and, instead of floating as dead fish
do, were drawn under by some sub
marine whirlpool, were scientific ques-
lions too deep for the skipper, but half
dozen Of the smaller fish hauled
aboard by the cook for dinner were
quite dead when examined. The calm
continued twenty-four hours longer be-
fore the ocean resumed its usual aspect
and a wind from the southeast per-
mitted the ship to continue its course.
