 Kaiser an eternal place in the history of the world. What everyone thought Impossible ten years ago Is today an
 Accomplished fact; Germany Is a naval world power, maintaining her position

MYSTERIOUS ESCAPE
 FINALLY CLEARED

Columbus, O.. February 25.-The mys- tery of an escape at the Ohio peniten- tiary more than TO years ago was cleared up today when prisoners at work tear ing down one of the abandoned buildings found few fragments of human bones fin an old tunnel which they uncovered.
 The bones are thought to be all that remain of Scott Maythe, who, according to records of the penitentiary. escaped from the institution on July z. 1S40. From that time until the present nothing has been heard of him. The records at the penitentiary show it was suspected that Maythe was in hiding somewhere in the penitentiary and that other prisoners cac- ried food to him.

two powers will take place at The Hague one of the first days.

According to information from Rome, the present relations between Turkey and Italy are far from harmonious in spite of the amicable settlement of tn e Guzman affair A few Constantinople p4pers, like the Tanin, the organ of the Young Turks, bluntly state that during the last incident in Tripoli all the ottoman sympathies went out to the Italophobe Cuzman., and that the latter's fresh expulsion was a much worse blunder than the first one.
 The Italian press has been quick to meet this challenge The Tribuna writes that diplomatic patience has certain boundaries beyond which 1t takes an- other name, and that recognized rights cannot be indefinitely trodden upon. The Corriere d'Italia goes so far as to point out that the Italian government should at once adopt strong measures in or der to remove all difficulties.
 Excavations which have been carried on by Prof. Gnir at Pola have led to the discovery of fine specimen of a Roman villa similar in style to those of Pompeii. The walls of the peristyle are in part still standing to a height of over 10 feet, and are decorated with paintings in the so-called architectural style. In the middle of an ornamental mosaic floor is a medallion portraying two peacoclSs on the edge of fountain basin; another mosaic floor represents dog chasing a hare.
 This is the finest specimen of domes- tic Roman architecture so far discovered at Pola, but this Istruan city, now the Austrian Portsmouth has always been well known to archaeologists by reason of its fine amphtheatre and the con- plete, though small. Roman temple, which stands in the middle of the town.
 Russian schoolboys are becoming more and more devoted to outdoor games, which up to three or four years ago were quite unknown. In Odessa water sports have been made popular with the schools; swimming, rowing and sail ing are properly taught by qualified in structors. Each school pays contribu- tion from the school funds to the cen tral institution, which organizes this branch of education, and every boy de- sirous of benig a member pays sub- scription of SIPS for the season. There Is even girls rowing club in connec- ton with one of the schools. the first instance on record in Russia of girls sporting club.''
 The number of members of the Aquatic Sports society in South Russia is fast approaching thousand. The boys are medically examined and 1t has been found that rowing in particular is an adimarble exercise for developing the lungs and muscles of growing boys. Con- tests of various kinds and an annual "squadron cruise" of the massed boats keep up the interest. while at least one rowing club has been independently cs.

erlshment of the people, the crush of the ever growing burdens, which tho people of the empire must bear, at the same time that the empire has con sistently carried on economic politics. which have always benefited the veal thy landowners at the expense of all other classes. therefore, the praise of the Kaiser in the press is not true expression of the feelings of tho Ger man people, which are greatly mixed and affected by the burdens which the government and legislature have inn posed upon them, and which are felt so much heavier because they are not shared by those who could best afford to pay.
 The personality of the Kaiser is pop ular enough throughout Germany. but the system he represents is cordially hated by every one but few privileged persons who do not count against the masses. The most atrocious sides of this system are particularly in evil dence in Prussia, which is undoubtedly the most un- democratic state in Europe, and Emperor William is not only Ger man Kaiser but also King of Prussia, and Prussianism is felt far beyond the boundaries of that Kingdom.
 For the first time Turkey Is going to The Hague for the settlement of an international 0lHerence. WHICH, peCu- liariy, Is very important, by arbitra- tion, according to the regulations of the peace conference of 1907. For sev- eral years there has been dispute with Russia on the subject of the car rying out of the treaty of 1879 regard Ing the payment of indemnities to Rus sian subjects in connection with the war of 1877-7S. In 1881 commission appoined by the Russian embassy fixed the amount of the indemnity at 6.1S6,- E4S france. Between 1884 and 1902 Tur- key paid the sum of 267O00 Turkish pounds.
 In 1902 the Russian ambassador re- quested the sublime porte to take Into consideration claim for the payment or $4,750.0O0 as compound interest on the capital of the indemnity. The porte declared that there was no basis for the claim, and finally.i after long discus sion proposed arbitration. according to the stipuiations of The Hague conyen- tion for the pacific settlement of in- ternational disputes.
