a series OF Russian attacks, but they have
maintained their original positions. III the
hei2hbourhood Of the Carpathian ridge, and
on the plain been the Bzura and Donaiec
rivers, the enemy has delivered a selies OF
fierce attacks, but oil have been repulsed,
On our south front there have been IL few
frontier skirmishes with the Servians, but
comparatively unimportant, At Semlin the
ServIans blew up the bridge.
The foregoing thus admits that the Servi-
ans have invaded Austrian territory.
A despatch from Toxic states that Japan
objects to the presence of any foreign con
suls at Tsingtau. Commerce, while hin
dered, is not prevented by their absence.
The Z. S. S. "North Caroline" has inforDl-
ed the navy department at Washington that
it was the Russian cruiser "Askold" which
threatened to lombard Tripoli, near Beirut,
and not any American vessel.
Dispatches from Sofia state that by an
agreement signed between Turkey aud
Germany the latter agreed to supply the
material and money for the prosecution of
the war by Turkey, besides officers, artillery
men and engineers. In the event of victory,
Germany is to pay Turkey one fifth of her
war indemnity, and in case of defeat, she
will defend the integrity Of the Ottoman
Empire. Turkey agreed to proclaim a Holy
War upon the Allies and to follow Germany
plan and not c include II separate peace.

SERIOUS REVOLT
 ON IN PORTUGAL
RoyaIists Are Trying To Secure Con. troI of Government-No News
 Reaching London.

LISBON, May 15.-Serious revolts have been started in Portugal by the Royalist followers. The government officials at Lisbon have stopped all communication from Portugal and all wires are down and cables cut so that the news reaching here is scant and comes mostly from Madrid.
 The extent of the revolt is not known but it is believed by many that it is serious as the officials of the republic would hardly resort to so drastic measure as shutting the country off from all outside com- munication unless the revolt had gained much headway.
 Some diplomats fear that the Roy aiists have succeeded in overpower- ing the government and that the rev olution!sts are in control of all the wires and cables. The British am hassador to Portugal has sent no re- port of the situation and British warsbips are endeavoring to talk to Lisbon by wireless in order to ascer- tain the facts regarding the revolt.

There are seventy-five million peo-
 in this country who were born
 re of parents who had resided here
 r four or more generations. Only
 ,enty-fve million of the inhabitants
 the United States were born in
 her countries or of parents who
 ere born in foreign lands. So it is ot true, as one might suppose from eading the criticisms, that we are
 mongrel nation We are Americans and need not go further back than hat.
 It is fair that all of us ask our new CT citizens to refrain from such par tisanship as might cause trouble. No one can serve his own country or any other through useless or heated argu- ment. The war has drawn it's weary length along to the point where it must soon end. We have escaped re- markedly we'll so far. We have had a few local strifes between peoples of different nations, but they have been barroom brawls rather than serious disturbances. When the war is over we shall expect to do busi- ness with all of the nations who were parties to the strife. Nothing should be done or said that would tend to create prejudice in any of those na- tions against the people of the United States, who have, for the most part, been neutral.-Dayton co., News.

RUNNING UPSTAIRS.
Physical Energy It Expends Quoted In
 Horsepower.

Physical Energy It Expends Quoted In
 Horsepower.
 To lift $50 pounds one foot in one second requires what Is known as one horsepower. Similarly a horsepower is able to raise twice that weight one foot in twice the time, or one-half foot ill just that time. Moreover. it can raise half $50 pounds one foot in half second, or two feet in second. and so on. Therefore when we lift one fourth of that weight. 1371A pounds. four feet in one second, we are ex- erting horsepower.
 Accordingly, when person who weighs 1371a pounds runs upstairs at the rate of four feet second. he is exerting the equivalent of horsepow- CT. For a man weighing twice that much, 275 pounds, 1t would be neces- sary to climb at the rate of only two feet second to exert horsepower It is possible to do much more.
 As a matter of fact, horse often exerts many times horsepower. The average horse can draw a wagon up hill where ten horsepower engine with the same load would fail A horse power does not represent the greatest momentary strength of the average horse, but is a measure of the power which he can exert continuously.-New York World.

A Short Memory.

Uncle Jed was trif1e slack about quitting the bottom when the levee broke and had to take to a tree. Morn ing came and there was sixty feet of Mississippi flood water between him and shore. The preacher happened along on the high ground and saw Jed, but there wasn't any boat. Moreover, Jed's suspicion that there were al ligators about was well founded.
 The preacher besought Jed to swim. but in vain. Finally he called out:
 "Jed, have faith. Remember how Jonah was cared for in the whale and saved after three days.'
 Jed spoke earnestly.
 "Yas, suh, I remember. ain denyin' nuthin' bout Jonah. cause l want nigh um. But dis year alligator, he ain no whale, suh. Alligator, he eat a nigger an go off an sleep a week. suh, an disremember all bout dat nigger inside um."-New York Post.

kAISER'S GOLDEN HOARD.

Out of the huge war indemnity paid by France to Germany at the conclu- sion of the Franco-Prussian war e6,- 100000 in gold was carefully stored by the kaiser in a medieval watch tower near Spandau. For years past the golden store has been annually increased by the sum of 95O0,00O, for the treasure tower has been regarded by the Germans as their war chest filled ready for "The Days" Appar- ently the kaiser is now making heavy inroads on his hoard. London bank CTS have discovered that considerable sums of gold which have reached them via Scandinavia are made up of new unworn sovereigns of the old shield" pattern, with the head of Queen Victoria on one side and shield on the other bearing the date of 1872. It is known that a consid- erable portion of the gold paid to Ger. many by France in 1872 consisted of freshly-minted English sovereigns, and the presumption that the coins ar . irving in London were part of the indemnity was strengthened by the fact that the original Bank of Eng land labels of 1872 were found on some of the bags containing the gold.
 At the outbreak of the war it was estimated that the kaiser's treasure tower contained $25,0OO,O0O. It is a striking proof that Germany has for Years prepared for war. Although in the past the country has at times been in serious financial straits re- course has never been made to the purpose of war. Elaborate means are taken to guard the treasure. There are devices which can instantly flood the steel plate subterranean treas ure chambers with fifteen feet of wa. ter from the River Havel.-Ex.

Curious Story of Murder and the
 Discovery of the Crime.

Curious Story of Murder and the Discovery of the Crime. An old volume of the Quarterly Re- view mentions crime discovered in most extraordinary way in Australia in the year 1880, of which a public rec ord is preserved and which figures with full details in the journals of that period.
 The confidential steward of wealthy settler near Sydney stated that his master had suddenly been called to England on important business and that during his absence the whole of his immense property would be in his exclusive care.
 Some weeks after an acquaintance of the absentee settler riding through his grounds was astonished to perceive him sitting upon a stile. He strode forward to speak when the figure turn ed from him, with look of intense sorrow, and walked to the edge of pond, where it mysteriously disap- peared
 On the morrow he brought number of men to the water to drag it, and the body of the man supposed to be on his way to England was brought up. The steward was arrested, brought to trial and, frightened at the story of his mas- ter's ghost. confessed the crime, stat ing that he did the murder at the very stile on which his masters ghost had uppooro6 Ho woS 6u1v ayacuto6 - Case and Comment.
