SECRETARY'S PATIENCE
EXHAUSTED BY REPORTER
Berlin Journalists Persistence
Brought Him Only Trouble

Bioernstjerne Bjoernson's secretary
had lively time with the reporters
during the illness of his master. One,
a representative of great Berlin news
paper, was more persistent than the
others, and at length the secretary S
patience was exhausted, says the Lon
don Globe.
A dialogue like this took place:
How Is the master?'
Better, much better"
us that So Then / wish to see him
to congratulate him."
THAT is impossible; he is gone out"
Gone out?''
"Yes; he is lunching with Tolstoy."
The Journalist meditated, for the sud-
den recovery startled him. Then he re-
turned to the charge.
How did he go-on foot?"
"Yes; stick in hand"
The journalist hastened to the tele-
graph office to dispatch the good news
to Berlin. An hour later he received
the following telegram from his editor:
You are a perfect idiot. How can
Bjoernson be lunching with Tolstoy at
Yasnaia Poliana?"
Furious the Journalist returned to the
hotel to rate the secretary and to de-
mand reparation. The secretary was
not perturbed.
How much did your telegram cost ?''
he inquired.
"Thirty-two francs fifty" was the
reply. Then came the rejoinder:
well, calculate my interviews at 5
francs each for the time / have lost.
You have interviewed me 32 times. This
is $50 francs; SO you are still in my
debt. Good day"

SERVIA is REACHING
OUT FOR NEW MARKETS
Hopes to Make Herself Inde-
pendent of Austria

Servia has been endeavoring to
secure new markets where in times OF
stress she may be Independent of Aus
trian customs. A large part of her
trade has been turned to the south and
she has opened a profitable cattle busi-
ness with Egypt, sending her stock to
Saloniea, whence 1t is shipped to Alex
andria. She is one of the chain of
states through which the projected
railway from the Danube to the Adri-
attic will pass, and in this way she
hopes to get under Russian and Italian
auspices the Adriatic seaport and means
of communication with Montenegro de-
MED to her by Austria.
Another circumstance of Importance
is her improved relation with Bulgaria
While the economic benefits resulting
from this rapproachement may be less
than formerly, since Bulgaria is not
now a buyer of agricultural produce,
the political consequences promise
greater diplomatic freedom. Lastly,
she appears to have in Alexander an
heir apparent with a sense of respon-
sibility to the state, respect in which
young Servia is most fortunate, for
such a prince has not previously figured
in Servian history.
All in all, Servia has reason to look
at the future optimistically and to hope
that Europe will forget how her king
got his crown and invite him about, or
IL not him at least his successor.

|SMOKF NOT READY

Big Champion Says He Does Not
Need Three Months and
VIII Take His Time
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

CHICAGO, March 20.-Champion
Jack Johnson is prepared for the
coming of Jack Gleason, one of the
promoters of the big fight, who is
expected on Thursday to ask the cham
pion if he intends to live up to the
articles of agreement, which state that
both principals shall be in training
SO days before the fight.
In all probability Gleason will meet
a sharp retort from the champion when
the former tries to persuade him to
pack his paraphernalia and start for
the coast and begin work at once.
Jack said today that If Gleason or
anybody else thinks he is going to
train for this fight for three months
they are crazy.
He also said he has been mixed up
in the fighting game long enough to
know just how long it will take him
TO get into condition, and he does not
intend that any one shall dictate to
him in regard to such a matter
Jack does not place much credit in
the statements made by Sam Lang
ford's followers in regard to a fight
between himself and the Boston negro.
In the course of conversation with the
champion he said all Langford or his
manager had to do was to come to
Chicago and put up forfeit and a
$4,000 side bet and the match would
be on, the battle to take place after
July A, or in case the big one falls
through he would meet Langford on
Independence day at the Emeryville
racetrack

KING PETER OF SERVIA
WILL VISIT THE CAR
1t Will Be His First Reception
by Another Sovereign

The visit of King Peter of Russia
this spring will be his first reception by
a foreign sovereign since he ascended
the throne of Servia after the assas-
sination of the rival house of the
obrenovitch. The significance of the
visit lies less in its effect upon Balkan
uolftics than in the influence upon other
monarchs of the cars recognition of
the Servian king.
Peter has apparently tried TO give
ServiaL a pacific rule. and to consid-
erable extent he has succeeded, says
the New York Sun. His dignif1ed diplo-
matte course during the recent Balkan
troubles had not a little TO do with
winning the sympathy of Europe for
his country and with inducing Austria
to adopt a policy of Cancellation in
stead of subjection
Servia has been steadily setting her
house in order. and the way in which
she emerged from the Friedjung trial is
a recent happy instance of her effort to
remain free from unpleasant compli-
cations with her neighbor across the
Danube. The politicians who for a
long time played their country merely
as a pawn in the game between Russia
and Austria have been succeeded by
others who seem to have the peoples
real interests at heart. As a result
political revolutions with the attendant
changes in ministries and cabinets have
been less frequent.

CHICAGO, March 20.-Catcher john
ny Kings chances for reinstatement
at the hands of the national commits
sion are considered by local fans to
be fading as a result of the delay in
reaching a decision as to his fate.
Apparently there is some hitch in
the program, for reports from Cincin-
natl last week stated that a meeting
of the supreme court of baseball had
been called for Tuesday at Redtown
to give its decision.
President Johnson tonight stated
that he had received no notice of a
meeting, but had received a bulky copy
of all the evidence in the case, much
of which was new to him.
He wrote his views to Chairma n
Garry Herman, but declined to di-
vulge the contents of his letter, main
tanning the silence which all parties to
TO the controversy have observed for
some weeks past.
To those familiar with the usual
frankness of the American league
head, it was apparent that all was not
smooth sailing for the retired Cub who
wishes to get back in the game.
