These three vessels probably will be the
first of the inter island fleet which the
Philippine government expects to estab.
lish with the seized vessels. The 90
steamers seized in the Philippines at the
time of the rupture of relations with
Germany had an aggregate tonnage OF
$4,000. The Philippine government, while
recognizing that the larger steamers
should be put either into the Pacific or
Atlantic trade, as the national shipping
board thinks best, made a plea to Wash
ington that ten of the smaller vessels
representing perhaps third of the total
tonnage, be assigned to the government
for such service as the insular authorities
deemed wise

trade between the Philippines and the

in mind the possibility of employing one
of the vessels perhaps in trade between

the Philippines. They alone provide
market for many Spanish products.
Meanwhile, work on the larger German
steamers is proceeding rapidly. Two al.

BEAT KAISER FOR
STEALING HIS MARBLES
A Kansas Blacksmith Used to Play with
the Present En-
peror.

Downs, Kan, Aug. s.--The distinction
of being the only man in the United
States who ever licked" the kaiser is
claimed by Henry Drager, blacksmith
here.
Drager was born in Prussia and spent
his childhood under the caves of the
Potsdam palace. William | was then
kaiser, and the present occupant of the
throne, who is the formers grandson,
was small boy about Drager's age.
The old kaiser was very fond of chill
dren and always had boys of the neigh
borhood playing around the Potsdam
park. The old kaiser himself would go
out among the boys and arrange races
for them, giving silver money to the
winners.
The present kaiser was kept in school
every day except Sunday, so the neigh
days. But on Sundays he was allowed
to play with the little boys of humble
birth who lived in the vicinity. The
main game was marbles. The boys in
the neighborhood were well supplied with
cheap "commies," as the boys of to-day
still call them, but the future kaiser
always had big sack of expensive mar
bles, and the boys liked to get him into
the game in the hope of winning some
of his finest agates.
One day during game the present
kaiser had some of his marbles in the
ring, when, by a lucky shot, young Ora
ger won the pot He made grab for
the marbles, but young William was
quicker, and before Drager could prevent
it the heir to the German throne had
scooped up all the expensive marbles
he had lost and was preparing to run
with them.
In the excitement of the moment
young Drager forgot all about the royal
blood in the veins of his playmate-for
got that some day the little lad oppo !
site him might be ruler of the father
land He forgot so completely he grabbed
the future ruler of Germany by the neck |
and sat him down on the pavement in an
emphatic manner, at the same time
grabbing the highly priced marbles The
