| The Aievaid-Review.| THE NEWS RESUME E. C, KILEY, Editor. MINNESOTA, GRAND RAPIDS - Some men are known by the com- pany they don’t keep. Discretion is not cowardice, neither is blatant volubility courage. Every time a wise man makes a mis-. take it teaches him something. Uncle Paul Kruger continues to re- mark “Boo!” to the British lon. Always, pay your milkman spot cash. Never request him to “chalk it up.” The man who doesn’t put his hand to the plow will get none of the plow- shares, Mr, Edward Atkinson is kept rather busy perusing letters from gentlemen who decline to become stampeded. When we advance a little into life we find that the tongue of man creates nearly all the mischief in the world. Mr. Sherman admits that he secured Tom Platt’s consent before becoming a candidate for speaker, and he is still trying to figure out how it happened that that was not equivalent to ah election. Manufacturers of wooden pumps are holding a convention, the expressed purpose being the formation of a com- bine to raise the price of their prod- uct. This will be painful news to several thousand country milkmen. Waldorf Astor has lived in the at- mosphere of money so long that he. imagines everybody on _ ordinary ground has conceived a dislike for him, especially Americans." It is not so. If he were a little more human and a little less exclusive he would find that the average man is not malicious or envious, but a good fellow and a just one. And, after all, there have not been meaner things said of him in the newspapers than have been said of every conspicuous. person. According to Corporal Henry C. Ed- wards of troops D, 4th cavalry, who was recently interviewed in Pittsburg, Pa., American soldiers are in command of some of the insurgent troops in the Philippines and are fighting their for- mer commands. Last summer a num- ber of the United States men were dis- honorably dismissed from our army for various offenses. He said: ‘They had no money and could not get transpor- tation home. Being banished from the camps of the Americans, and not be- ing allowed to stay in Manila, they had no recourse but to go to the insurgents. Aguinaldo made some of them assume command of his forces because they were better trained than the natives. Those who did not want to fight us were compelled to do so.” The boy king of Spain, according to the London Daily Mail, is not loved in Madrid. His presence in the streets arouses no popular enthusiasm. At times, when the guard is changed at the royal palace, his troubled face may be seen at a window, gazing out; but no one cheers, and he remains almost unrecognized. No hat is raised, or other obeisance paid him by his sullen subjects, when he rides abroad in mel- ancholy state! Among a more gener- ous people, his youth, his misfortunes, a consideration of the troubled future which confronts him, would at least awaken pity. His manners, which are placid, almost inert, have in them no attraction. His very looks are dis- liked. He is too blonde in hair and complexion. “He is no Spaniard,” say his subjects of Madrid, and this— which is to them a cause for reproach —will hardly be thus viewed by the world at large. ’ It is not improbable that the early part of the new century will see all distinction between Europe and Asia as separate continents abolished. As a matter of fact, they are geographic- ally one continent, as a glance at the map will show. They are now rapidly becoming one politically, as well. The great Russian empire binds.them in one at the north. The British empire makes Asia European at the south, and in the Middle Kingdom almost every day sees new acquisitions of iter- ritory by European powers. We are within measurable distance of the time when China, Persia and the few other independent states of Asia will have gone the way of India and Turkestan. Then, with one common ownership, as with one common geographical forma- tion, the two continents may well be reckoned as one. “Eurasian” is the term which has long been applied to the great plain which extends over a large part of both continents, and also to the Aryan race, which, originating in Asia, is now dominant in Europe. A few more years may see the united continents figuring upon our maps as “Eurasia.” What then will foow? Gov. Roosevelt said recently in a public address that a “man is bound to work for his living if he needs it. If not, he is bound to work for the good of the. public. The old socialism was expressed by the phrase, ‘The world owes me a liv- ing.’ The new socialism, on the con- trary, is embodied in Mr, Tait’s little tablet in a magnificent English gal- lery: ‘This art collection is presented to the city of London as a thank of- ; fering for thirty years of business prosperity.’ EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK IN A CONDENSED FORM. 4& General Resume of the Most Im- portant News of the Week From All Parts of the Globe, Boiled Down and Arranged in Con- venient Form for Rapid Perusal By Busy People.

Anti-foreign riots are feared. The Hamburgerisch Correspondence of Berlin declares that officials of the foreign office are negotiating with British firms for the laying of the pro- posed German-American cable. It is officially stated at Berlin that the German-American cable contract will go to an firm, because the firm possesses the right of granting concessions for a cable to land on the A dispatch to the Paris Temps from Saigen, describing the anti-foreign dis- turbances that recently occurred in Mong-Tsu, province of Yun-Yan, says that the Wong-Tse customs house, which was in charge of American of ficials, was sacked and destroyed.

Mrs. Southworth, the well known au thoress; is quite ill, at her residence in West Washington. Her weakness is due mainly to the infirmities of age, ! she being now in her eightieth year. Commander Ballington Booth, of the Volunteers of America, in an address at Lincoln, Neb., declared himself in favor of the expansion: policy of the government. He said the war with Spain was righteous, Senator Thurston of Nebraska said: “Having noted several suggestions in the Western press that I might be a candidate for vice president, I desire to state, once for all, that I am not and shall not be.” Otherwise.

NINE PERSONS FIND A WATERY GRAVE IN LAKE ERIE. The Steamer Margaret Olwll, Laden With Stone, Foundes During a Heavy Northwest Gale—Four Mem- bers of the Crew Were Picked Up by Passing Steamers—Their Res- cue Attended by Exhibitions of Extreme Heroism as a Heavy Sea ‘Was Running at the Time, Cleveland, Ohio, July 1. — In the heavy northeast gale Wednesday night the steamer Margaret Olwill laden with stone from Kelly’s island to Cleveland foundered in Lake Erie off Lorain. Nine persons were drowned. Four members of the crew have been picked up by passing steamers and brought into port. From the reports of the survivors the Olwill’s cargo of stone shifted while the vessel was laboring in the trough of the sea. Shortly before she went down the rudder chains parted allowing her to fall off into the trough. As the helpless craft rose on top of a heavy sea the stone slid to leeward, the steamer listed heavily and sank to the bottom. The rescued members of the crew were found floating in the surface of Lake Erie clinging to bits of wreckage. Their rescue was at- tended by exhibitions of extreme hero- ism for a heavy sea was still running when they were picked up. Tolede, Ohio, July 1, — Wednesday night’s storm on Lake Brie, according to marine men, was one of the worst in years.

Such Believed to Have Been the Fate of the Passengers of the Jessic. Seattle, Wash., July 1. — United States Marshal Shoup of Alaska, who investigated the death of the passen- gers of the steamer Jessie, who either perished in the wreck of their vessel or were massacred by Alaska Indians one year ago on the Kuskokim river. He will take a number of deputies and a detachment of sailors from the rev- enue cutter McCulloch to bring all In- dian suspects to Sitka for trial. There were eighteen people on board the Jessie, and it was thought at first that they met death by drowning, but sub- sequent developments suggested a pos- sibility that they reached shore and were murdered by Indians. CRITICIZ= UIPTON. Absurd Air of Mystery About the Shamrock. London, July 1. — The yachting au- thorities are criticising Sir Thomas Lipton’s attempts to maintain secresy regarding the building of the Sham- r . The Yachtsman says: ‘The ab- surd air of mystery. is maintained to the last. though the cup defender was racing Defender when Shamrock was put in the water. It is difficult for the ordinary mind to grasp the object of this extreme solicitude to guard the secrets of her design. Even if a high- ly satisfactory photograph could be ob- tained there is hardly time for the Herreshoffs to build a new vessel, much, no coubt, as they would like to dc so.” TEDDY NOT A CANDIDATE. Ue Favors the Renomination of Me- Kinley in 1909., Albany, N, Y., July 1—Gov.

M’KINLEY MAY COMB. Eis Westward Trip is Not Yet Aban- doned, Washirg‘on, July 1. — Senator War- ren of Idaho called upon the president with reference to his Western trip. The president contradicted the pub- lisned reports that he had abandoned the idea of going West this summer. He still intends to go, unless circum- stances should intervene to prevent, but he has been unable as yet to con- sider detailed plans, and both the time and extent of his trip are matters for future determination. Mrs. McKinley’s condition is report- ed as improved, but she is still weak, and has not yet left her bed. Senator Burrows of Michigan was among the president’s callers to-day. Much interest attaches to his visit. Upon leavig the White House Senator Burrows said the Michigan situation had not been mentioned. “You can say, however,” said he, “that Michigan is unqualifiedly for the administration, and that any man who is opposed to the administration, di- rectly or indirectly, will go down in that state.” Senator Burrows declined to discuss the question of Secretary Alger’s pos- sible retirement from the cabinet. Senator Burrows is en route to New York to attend a meeting of the sen- ate finance committee, called under the authority of a special resoltion of the senate to consider matters relating to custom duties, internal revenue and currency. The first volunteers to be raised for service in the Philippines will be those for the skeleton regiments now being formed by Gen. Otis. It is now be- lieved there will be the least difficulty in obtainig these men. It is probable that some time will elapse before the troops of the provisional army are sent to Manila, but meanwhile they will be drilled and taught marksman- ship in camp. The officers of the war department think that a number of volunteers now coming home will de- sire to return to the Philippines for a short service after they have had an opportunity to see home and friends. These men are regarded as the most desirable for the regiments being or- ganized by Gen. Otis. It is learned at the war department that there is no actual rush to get the new organiza- tions to Gen Otis at the present time. The rainy season having set in, it is not believed that these troops will be necessary for service except to relieve those who have been on active duty. THE MARKETS.

New London, Conn., July 1, — Har- vard won all of the boat races to-day —three victories over Yale in three hours—and the western sky glowed crimson last evening when the Har- vard ‘varsity crew pulled over the fin- ish line six and a half-lengths ahead of Yale. After eight years of defeat the students of Cambridge are tasting the sweet of success. Harvard's univer- sity eight won from Yale over a four mile course, by six and a half lengths in 20:52. Harvard’s freshman eight won from Yale over a two-mile course by two and a half lengths in nine min- utes 33 1-2 seconds. Harvard's sub- stitute four won from Yale over a two- mile course by six lengths in ten min- utes and fifty-one seconds. The Har- 5 vard crews rowed a ntroke. bused bition of the English stroke upled with some features of the stroke} pulled by Wisconsin and Coach McConville of Wisconsin, who saw the rate, said: “If Harvard’s crew in to-day’s form had been at Poughkeepsie I am afraid they would have given us all a hustle for first place.” Yale has greatly modified the Cook stroke and the boat did not go to-day as it did when the famos coach was there. The races were rowed in al- most ideal water and wind and clear skies. The course was badly policed, Loats getting into the lane and steam- ers kicking up swells after the race had started. Harvard in the ’varsity race very nearly collided witha num- ber of small boats at the finish and a heavy swell impeded Yale. The ‘var- sity race was prettily rowed, but the defeat was crushing. Yale, however, rowed gamely to the finish and neither crew showed signs of distress. The contest between the substitutes con- stituting the ‘varsity fours was, like the ’varsity race, a procession, Har- yard six full lengths ahead at the fin- ish. The freshmen effort was a mighty and splendid one up to the last eighth of a mile when Harvard's superior staying powers, coupled with an un- fortunate obstruction of the course of the Yale youngsters by a large steam- er, worked for Harvard’s advantage and sent the 1902 men of Harvard across the line two lengths ahead of Yale. Both of these races were post- poned from the forencon and were rowed about an hour after they had been scheduled for the afternoon. There was little or no betting. ANDREE READ. Another Alleged Letter From the Explorer Found in a Bottle. San Francisco, July 1. — H. J. Bar- ron, formerly an Eastern newspaper man, has written the following to the Associated Press from Wrangel, Alas- ka, under date of June 24: Information reeeived here several days ago, which seemingly confirms the story that Andree, the Arctic ex- plorer, is dead. A Norwegian, who was a passenger on the Regalie, a Se- attle boat bound for Skaguay, showed a letter supposed to have been written by Andree. The letter, in a sesled bottle, had been washed ashore off the Norwegian coast, and dated May 4. ‘The lattitude was given as 74 north, and the balloon was somewhere to the westward of Iceland. “I am leaving balloon and_ provisions. — Andree,” were the words written, HOT AFTER LYNCMERS, Texas Authoritics Will Make a De- termined.
