When they first appeared on the mar

with him of an evening Each time
he cut them open and found them
green as gourds he would become
more and more aggravated. Al the
season went on he grew to buying
them by the basket. He would bring
home basket of them, and sit down
and open them. one by one. talking
harshly as he discovered each one to
be unfit for human food. In Septem-

proportions. He was now buying them

BHAvsINHjl, MAHARAJAH OF BHAvNAGAR

The publication of the history OF
the Raikumar college of Kathiawar in
western India has drawn into promi-
nent notice the movement for the ed
ueation OF the chiefs and princes Of
India which was commenced half-a-
century ago on the model of the
English public schools. The work,
which has been sumptuously got up.
gives a complete record Of the
growth of the movement up to date
and serves as book of reference
both with regard to the daily work
carried on in that seminary and the
two generation of youths who have
passed through its portals In this
way it amply testifes to the success
which has been achieved by the insti-
tuition since its foundation, of which
many of the reigning chiefs of west
ern India themselves furnish living
examples.
As a rule the present generation OF
these princes may be regarded as
notable Improvement upon their pre-
decessors of half-a-century back, for
although it may not be possible by
the methods Of western education to
inculcate In them higher degree of

PRINCE kATsURA OF JAPAN VISITS CAR

The present visit to Russia OF the
Japanese statesman, Prince Katsura,
is a momentous development toward
completing the final details of the
defensive alliance pact between Rus
STA and Japan.
The actual agreement between the
former enemies was concluded same
time ago and probably VIII be signed
soon.
The agreement consists Of two
parts, one dealing with the delimita-
ton of the spheres of influence of
Russia and Japan In Mongolia and
Manchuria, which is similar In scope
and character to the Anglo-Russian
accord of August 81. 1907, regarding
Persia. The second part deals with
the duty of the two nations for a
joint defense In case either power is
attacked.
The Russo-Japanese agreement of
July 4, 1910, providing for the main
tenance jointly of the status quo in
Manchuria, was a direct result of the
Inflated naturalization scheme for the
Manchurian railroads. and the pres
ent one was the outcome of long
enhancement which taught both ma

ENGINEERS TO GO ON STRIKE
Grand Chief Stone Puts Blame for
Situation on Public.
SAYS FREIGHT RATES TOO Low
Thinks People Need an object Lcs-
son 60 Convince Them Rail-
roads should Ne Allowed
60 Raise Them.

NEW YORK. March 8.-warren stone,
grand chief Of the Brotherhood OF Loco
motive Engineers. predicted here today
that when the result Of the strike vote
on the wage question is made public here
on April 10. II win be found that less
than 200 Of the 2S.oOo engineers In the
brotherhood oppose . strike.
1T Is significant" said Mr.. Stone,
that In none of our conferences with
the eastern railroad representatives have
they once declared that our demands are
unjust. They do not say We do not need
the increase; they say merely that they
can't afford TO grant IL because they are
not allowed increased freight rates.
The Interstate Commerce commission
stands In the way Of any raise and as
the commission represents the public IL
Is really the public that is the stumbling
block.
That Is why I repeat that the public
needs an object lesson to convince them
that the roads are entitled TO more pay
for the freight they carry. Freight rates
are bound 10 go up.
