London, Nov. 1.-THE death Of Sir
William Agnew. the head of the well>

robberies on record. In 1876, Messra.

later. that the picture, which had been
taken to America, was restored to its
owners.
The Agnew firm was founded 100

Death Story Denied.

Tula, Russia. Nov. 1.-THE reports
OF Count Tolstoi's death are incorrect.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press has direct and definite assur-
ance that the count is still living, and
is even said to be slightly improved
this morning. His condition. how
ever, continues critical and for many
hours the symptoms have been sucl.
as to give rise to frequent reports that
end had come. Such report
emanated from Moscow last night.
and 1t was some time before its falsi-
ty could be established.
Countess Tolstoi has not been ad-
mitted to the sick chamber. and even
the fact Of her arrival has been con-
cealed from Count Tolstoi lest the
knowledge of her coming over-excite
him. The latter was not pleased
when the presence of his son. Sergius,
was made known to him. At same
time Tolstoi was delighted at the ar
rival Of his friend. Count Vladimir
Tchortkoff. The latter remains con-
stantly at the beside with physicians
and Tolstoi's daughter, Alexandra.

railway. station at Astapova. Their
lot is not q happy one. They have not
been able to secure, Indoor sleeping
quarters nor a place to eat. The
Tolstoi family is living in the special
car which brought the countess and
her sons here.

man press does not think that Col.
Roosevelt and his policies will soon
be able to recover from the blow they
have received in New York and else
where in the country.
The Vossische Zeitung, the chief or
gan Of the intellectual classes. pays
its respects to the colonel in the fol-
lowing language:
During his presidency Col. Roose-
velt delivered ceaseless Trades
against the evils Of American public
life, but when he left the white house
things remained exactly as they were
before. The country has not forgot
ten that no deeds followed his words.
AS president he was brutal in the
expression Of his opinions. but he dom
ned kid gloves when he ought to have
attacked seriously. Theodore Roose-
velt, once the most favored creature
Of luck. has had his black day. He
has been Americas most popular
man"
Prospects Called sBad.n
The Pan-German Tagliche Rund-
schau says:
"The man who was spoiled by so
meny popular and easy victories has
received stupendous check. His
nerves Will suffer the same shatter-
ing blow as those of cavalryman
who has undergone his first hard fall.
Unimpaired nerves, however, are an
indispensable condition for victory in
a hard fight, and in the bitter strug-
giles which will culminate with the
next presidential election Col. Roose-
>, ,alt's prospects can now hardly be
t 'idered especially good"
- %, national liberal organ, the Ma
tioA @x, 'tung. says:
"Ro> rs prestige has gradually
sunk. d % nee has been lost in big
words whh> ere never followed by
corresponding deeds. The power Of
political advertising seems, too, to
have reached its limits in America.
Roosevelt restlessly exhausted all the
possibilities which could make the
people talk about him. He is not the
man who acknowledges defeat under
the first blow, but his luck-bringing
prestige is thing of the past"

STEAMERS CRASH

Both Were Disabled and Fore

Piers

New York, Nov. 17.-In q collision
in the Hudson river today between the
French line steamer LaLorraine and
the North German-Lloyd liner Prins
Frederick Wilhelm, as they were
drawing out into the stream to sail
for Europe, both steamers were badly
damaged above the water line and
had to return to their piers. Neither
was in condition to proceed with her
voyage today. The passengers on
both liners were panic stricken for a
moment, but the assurances Of officers
that there was no danger speedily
quieted them. The strong tide run
ming in the river today was believed
to be responsible for the crash. No
one was injured,

It was midnight when Manuel and
his mother, arrived at Evesham, the

VISIT EXILED MANUEL
English King and Queen Pay Respects
to DenOSed Ruler

10 DepOSe0 kuIef.
London, Nov. fixing George and
Queen Mary have paid visit of for
mality to Manuel Of Portugal at his
retreat Of exile. the palace Of make
believes-the great, rambling, many
gabled old house of Wood Norton
and those who saw the meeting de-
scribe 1t as the acme of pathos. An
attempt was made on both sides to
put something of dignity and cere-
mony in the visit, but 1t was fearful
failure, and all seemed much relieved
when the doleful affair was over.
When King George was at Wood
Norton there were three kings there,
only two of them were not real kings,
for this Worcestershire county seat
is the home of Philippe of Orleans,
who plays at being king of France.
and Manuel is still called king of
Portugal there. But Portugal and
France are republics, and the regal
state that is kept up behind the great
gilded gates. with their crowns and
fleur-de-lis, and which are never OPP
ened save for royalty is all a sham.
If the meeting between George and
Philippe and Manuel was pathetic,
that marking the arrival Of Manuel at
Wood Norton was still more so.
Duke Is Amelie's Brother.
The Duke OF Orleans is the brother
Of Queen Amelie, the uncle of the de-
posed king. and when the waiting
time at Gibraltar was accomplished
and it was written that Portugal had
thrown out the house Of Braganza.
Philippe offered the exiles the asylum
of his English home Of Wood Norton,
where he lives with his charming
duchess and his mother. the aged
Comtesse de Paris.

GERMANY "DE-LIGHTED''

Berlin, Nov. 1.-THE results Of the

pleasing to Germany. The Democrat

cation that the protection movement
has been definitely checked. and that

great profit.

From Harper's Weekly.
 'If you had ever known what it was to be really hungry, madame" said Boggs. you would know that nice juicy slice of co1ned beef smothered delicacy than which the tangerine-'
 But the lady with the gold lorgnettes was apparently not open to argument, for Boggs had not got farther than the buttered cabbage leaf when she rose from the table and made a hur- ried, but none the less dramatic exit from the saloon.
 T am afraid I have recalled some sentimental episode in the lady's life," said Boggs.

But you were saying that you would have made a more satisfactory use of the earths natural resources, and I grant you that the ocean would do wonders could 1t be turned into the Sahara"
 "Yes, sir" said Boggs, land ther'd be enough water left which, if squirted down the valley of the Mississippi. would turn that dusty crick into a real river, and wash enough sand out of it's mouth to make 1t navigable for something with a deeper draught than a Saratoga chip. Ten square miles of it toted out to Arizona would trans form the Alkali desert into a garden where a moderately industrious man could raise something besides Gila monsters and freckles, neither of which was necessary to the higher life; and yet here 1t Is, heaving and howling, yapping and rowling. day and night, an unmitigated nuisance with never a thought of making itself useful. Why, 1t ain't fit to drink"
 "Ah, we'll" sN.fd the student of human nature, "I must confess I rather like tho ocean in its rampant mood It is vastly more picturesque than when 1t is peace full and still"
 "I grant you that" said Boggs. Tt looks to me as If somebody was squirt ing the Rocky mountains out of si- phon."
 "It seems to be, too, that after all Is said and done" containued the student of human nature, "this old puddle. as you call it, is very much like our own people-full of strength and power, much of it misdirrected and extravagant- ly wasted, but serving great purposes still. It is the embodiment of rest less energy"
 "That's all right" said Boggs, but what does 1t all come to? It never gets anywhere. It larrups the rocks of Maine and 1t washes the sands of Af- rica, but what-is the net result? Maine's just as rocky, and the sands of Africa aren't a bit cleaner than they were be- fore wash day dawned. Outside of 6 few fish. for which it gets no pay, what does 1t all come to? Whats the use of rampaging if you don't get anywhere?"

as is now currently estimated by reliable foreign houses in the wheat trade. Not only are the European wheat crops short. but an additional burden Is thrown upon it. because of the generally poor food crop, particularly potatoes, on the con- tinent. Taking the most liberal view of the possible surplus from North America and anticipating better than average yields in Argentine, Australia and India. whose crops are yet to be made. says Mir. Snow, there is still a material shortage in the worlds wheat supply this year.
