eminent not to recognize or be bound
by the provisions of the British order il
council which declared an embargo or
| all commercial intercourse directly with
Germany, as well as inward or outward
bound through neutral countries, was
manifested in several ways Saturday
The foreign trade advisers of the state
department announced that they had
decided to suspend all conferences with
British embassy officials with reference
to the informal arrangements which had
been in progress, not only to assist
American cotton exporters in obtaining
payment for cargoes detained. but also
to secure for American importers Amer
lean owned goods now in Germany, con
tracted for before the war in council
went into effect. Secretary Bryan said
this step had been taken in order to
secure a better understanding with the
British government as to the capacity in
which the foreign trade advisers were
acting.
ambassador Page at London was in
structed TO inquire of the British for
egn Office the meaning of the statement
in their memorandum issued on Thurs
day that the terms OF an arrangement
between American cotton representa-
tiyes and the British government were
acceptable to the United States govern.
ment. Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the Brit
ish ambassador at Washington, called
on Secretary Bryan to explain that he
also had always understood that the
United States government was not to be
considered as having recognized the Brit
ish order.in-council. irrespective of the
assistance given the cotton shippers
by the foreign trade advisers of the
state department Some error is under
stood to have been made in London on
the subject.
The decision OF the trade advisers to
suspend their conference. however, was
reached before the British foreign Office |
was issued and based on
differences of practical character as 10 /

Blown Up

London, May 24.-All Italy awaits th'
call to arms. The ministry has set lt'
face for war and the general mobliza
ton of the army and navy, by order OF
the king, is probably now under way.

border. The barracks of an Austrian
regiment at Rovereto, in Tyrol, has been
blown up. Many Italians live in that
town and the Austrian authorities are
arresting them. Large numbers OF 1tal-

being sent into Hungary.
The Italian consul general has been or

cannot continue these conferences until

full report OF what has taken place to

While officials OF the department were

HUMOR OF LINCOLN.

How the President Sized Up the Con-
 federate Forces.
 A visitor once asked Lincoln how many men the Confederates had in the field. The president replied very sert- ously:
 'Twelve hundred thousand, accord ing to the best authority"
 The visitor paled as he said:
 Good heavens!'
 "Yes, sir, 100000. No doubt of it. You see, all of our generals when they get whipped say the enemy outnum- bered them from three or five to one, and l must believe them. We have 100000 men in the field, and three times four make twelve"
 A delegation once waited upon Lin coin to ask the appointment of cer- tain man as commissioner to the Sand wich islands. Besides his fitness for the place, they urged his bad health. But the president in reply said, Gen temen, l am sorry to say that there are eight other applicants for that place, and they are all sicker than your man."
 A woman came to the White House one day on an unusual errand, which Lincoln suspected was a pretext, but he took her at her word and gave her the following note to major of the quartermaster's department: My dear sir, the lady bearer of this says she has two sons who want to work. Set them at 1t if possible. Wanting to work is so rare a merit that it should be encouraged. A. Lincoln.'

Bolivia's Electrical Storms,

Owing to the peculiar typographical formation of Bolivia, electric and other phenomena are of constant occurrence the principal zone where such dis turbances take place being the Alti- planicie, or grand plateau. As the at mosphere is heavily charged with cleo tricity both in summer and winter, dry or electric storms are of frequent occurrence both on the plateau and in the valleys. Before the rainy season sets in electrical accumulation becomes considerable on the plateau region, it's most violent manifestations taking place toward the eastern section of the tablelands. An electrical storm in these regions is always a most imposing spectacle, as the tremendous force of the wind, almost equal to hurricane, and the heavy electrical accumulation in the clouds produce terrible atmos pheric explosions and violent detona- tions, while the surface of the ground sparkles and crackleS.

AMERICAN ACHIEVEMENTS.
Some of the Big Things to the credi
 of This Great Countrv

Some of the Big Things to the Credit of This Great Country. Americans founded the first govern ment under which all men were equal before the law. Since the Declaration :, of Independence was published to the world the democratic idea has hourly
 received impulse until now it's march
 seems irresistible.
 Americans were the first to demon strate the feasibility of relying on a citizen soldiery to defend the land and its institutions against foreign or do- nestle attack.
 Americans were the first to abolish titular distinctions and to deprive so- cial eminence of any support save character or the consensus of those who chose to consider themselves so-
 cially elect.
 It was an American who invented the steamship.
 An American invented the telegraph. An American invented the telephone An American invented the electric light.
 An American invented the reaper which makes it possible to feed the billion and more people on this planet. It was an American, too, who in- vented the sewing machine. Americans also were the conquerors of pain when they discovered how, by
 means of sulphuric ether, the tenderest human nerves could be made insensi- ble to the surgeons steel. Americans opened the ports of Japan to the nations of the world, made a path into darkest Africa, and an
 American crowned the geographical achievements of his countrymen by
 discovering the north pole.-Pittsburgh Press

Jolt to Car Owners Pride,

A citizen on thn South side recently bought 8 moderat priced motor car, and few mornings ago he called to his next door neighbor and offered to take him downtown to the office. That night the neighbours little girl said to the proud car owner: "T know what kind of an auto you've got" "Is that so?" the man asked. "Yes, heard papa say at dinner what it is It's Tin Lizzie!"-Kansas City Star

A Ro,,r.n;.n c,.+o,,

A strange custom is still observed in Roumania. When servant has dis. pleased his or her master the offender takes his boots in his hands and places them before the bedroom door of his master. It is sign of great submis- sion, and the boots are either kicked away as an intimation that the fault will not be forgiven, or else the serv ant is told to place them on his feet, which shows that he is forgiven.

Art and Nature.

Art is the revelation of man, and not merely that, but likewise the revela- tion of nature, speaking through man. Art pre-exists in nature, and nature is reproduced in art. AS vapors from the ocean, floating landward and dissolved the ocean, so thoughts and the sem blances of things that fall upon the soul of man in showers flow out again in living streams of art and lose them selves in the great ocean, which is ma ture. Art and nature are not, then, dis cordant, but ever tremendously work ing in each Other.-Longfellow.
