New York, Feb. 15.-Railroad stocks

utes of trading today after it was

Pennsylvania was one of the con

SURPRISE MANIFEST
IN BERLIN
APPOINTMENT OF NEW FOREIGN
AFFAIRS SECRETARY A
SHOCK TO MANY.

Berlin, Feb. 15.-The appointment of
Herr Won JagoW as secretary of for
eign affairs vas received with con-
siderable surprise by the German
press in view of his comparatively
brief diplomatic career. He has never
had a first-class diplomatic appoint
ment other than hat of German am
bassador at Rome, and he has occu-
pied that position only about four
years. Previous to that appointment
he had held the comparatively I'M
important post of German minister to
the little principality of Luxembourg;

|MPERATOR TO SAIL
!. IN MAY
WORLDS LARGEST SHIP WILL
MAKE MAIDEN VOYAGE WITH.
IN FEW MONTHS.

Berlin. Feb. 15.-Within less than
four months the largest and most
wonderful ship in the world will make
her appearance In New York harbor.
The Hamburg-American company's
new liner Imperator will sail on her
first trip from Hamburg on Wednes-
day. May Z. n should arrive at the
American seaport one week later.
While nothing seems to be impos-
sible with the shipbuilders, there are
many bold enough to prophesy that,
SO far as size and luxury are con-
cerned, the Imperator will be the last
word in the building of merchant
ships. In both tonnage and size the
new vessel urpases the giant Olym-
pic of the White Star line and her i'll
fated sister ship. the Titanic.
The Imperator has a length Of 900
Feet and When complete and fully
laden will displace $4,000 tons. The
term Floating hotel,' often applied to
such ships when it is desired to en-
phasize their bulk, would convey, in
the case of the Imperator, an impress
sion far short of the truth. The COM
bined capacity of the largest three
hotels in New York scarcely exceeds
1000 guests, while the Imperator will
carry 5000 passengers and will have
nearly 1000 persons in her crew.
Her deck will have the beam of
Broadway at is widest part-96 feet.
She will have II decks above the
water line, equal to the height of many
of the largest apartment houses. With
SO much space available features are
possible that have never before been
introduced.
The suits and cabins are to 1re in
their design and fittings equal to the
rooms in the finest hotels of Europe
or America, n families will be able
to cross the Atlantic in almost the
same privacy as in their W homes.
There are to be many dining rooms,
the principal n of which will be in
the Louis XVI style and will seat more
thar 800 persons.
Among other luxuries the Imperator
has been fitted with three electric
elevators, a winter garden, summer
houses. a theater, gymnasium, Ritz
restaurant, cottage" cafe, ballroom,
telephones, swimming bath and tennis
courts. The swimming bath is a copy
of one unearthed at Pompeii, with
mosaic pavements, replicas of those
discovered at Treves.
According to the announcement of
the Hamburg-American company the
new vessel will insure her passengers
against the terrors of seasickness.
This happy condition Is to be brought
about by the installation of the Frahn
decks on board the monster, a device
that reduces the motion of a ship to a
minimum.
The Imperator will not be a fast
boat, being built more for solid COM
fort than great speed. Her time across
the Atlantic will be in ne n%eighbor-
hood of seven days. She will be
equipped with internal combustion en-
gines and two 1,500-horse power Diesel
motors, and will use oil as fuel.
The most powerful Marconi appa-
ratus ever set up at sea will be in
stalled, the unusual height of her
masts making it possible to receive
or transmit messages across the broad
pan Of the Atlantic ocean. 1t is
expected that the Imperator will al
ways be in direct communication with
either Europe or America.

ton of simplicity the s%uffragists have
gone it is worth noting that the COM
mittee has given permission to Mrs.
Anita c. Brooks of New York, to walk
barefooted in the parade. Mrs. Brooks
wrote the committee, saying she was
very anxious to do something impress
sive, n would either walk barefooted
in the parade or wear sandals with
diamond heels. Mrs. Brooks was in
formed that diamond heels would be
decidedly out of place at the pageant.
Suffragists who stand for an eX-
IRENE form of simplicity favor having

Mrs. Christian ID. Hemmick, of this

this. The statue is a life-size figure
of a recumbent nymph. Her utter lack
of drapery makes her as simple as a

The Prussian government has lust

dams at the headWaters of the Weser.

an extra supply of water TO feed

ton between Hanover and the Rhine;
TO prevent floods, n to obtain water
w for the generation Of electricity
Tor industrial purposes. At present
1t is planned to erect two dams, one
on the oder, which unites with the
fulda not far from Cassel. and an
other on the Diemel, a western conflu-
ent of the Wcser emptying into IL
north of CaSscl. The first dam will
contain over 200, 000, 900 cubic meters
of water, the second about 10000. 600,
Later, a dam will he built across the

foreign office IN Berlin.
1t is understood that Prince Bulow,
VINO appointed Herr Won Jagow to
the Rome ambassadorship, regarded
him as the most efficient of Ger
many's young diplomatists. His pres
ent appointment was made, if is said,
directly by the emperor. He at first
begged to be excused from accepting
1t. owing to his uncertain health. and
also because he doubted whether he
had the gift of public speaking. re-
garded as necessary for a cabinet
minister in defending Germany's for
elgn policy in the reichstag. The m
peror, however, repeated the appoint
ment with greater urgency; and Won
JasoW, like a true Prussian noble
man, bowed to the decision of his
monarch. While the new secretary is
a comparatively unknown man, it is
admitted that he represented Germany
very successfully at Rome through
a most difficult period. His greatest
achievement was to Obtain Italy's con-
'Gi' I 'he renewal OF tne triple al
nance at a time when public opinion
IN that country was still aggrieved
at Germany for the sharp attacks
made upon Italy by the German press
IN connection with the wal in Tripoli.
Won Jagow is described as a hard
worker. In manner he is modest and
retiring, with little of the self a sser-
ton usually attributed to a prussian
arlstocrat. The new secretary is in
his 50th year and is almost youth
iul in appearance.
