S i OTHER LANDS THAN OURS, ¥imperor Francis Joseph of Austria-Fune Eary has, it is sald, threatened to resign if his order that German shall be the only language used officinlly in the Austro-Hun- garian army is resisted. The order is said ta have heen jssued recently, but the Hun- warian troops do not take kindly to it. They desira 10 recelve their orders In thelr na- uve language, but the emperor thinks Ger- swun alone should be used. Of course, the waln purpose i to crush out the Hungarian wationality, but Francls Joseph will prob- ably discover that he is making A mistake, the same as Emperor Willlam did when he insisted that German should be spoken in the Polish part of his empire. There, how- ever, he found the spirit of natlonality strong even among the little children, who submitted to public chastisement rather than abandon their native tongue. Doubt- less Francis Joseph would not obffct to the Hungarfan soldiers fighting as Hungarians or thinking as Hungarians, and he cer- tainly cannot hope to make Austrians out of them by taking from them the right to recelve thelr orders in the language which they have spoken from Infancy. e Although the soctalist party in Italy has succeeded fn preventing the proposed visit of the czar to Italy, and thereby inflicted a merious blow ageinst the credit of the gov- ernment, the achievement, aceording to the testimony of English newspaper correspon- dents, has made them ®o unpopular that they are not likely to profit much by it. There is a chorus of indignation against the weakness displayed by the Zanardelll minis- try, which remained passive and fnactive, although the socialists were declaring openly in thelr meetings that the cxar, if he ventured to come to Rome, would en- counter a hostile demonstration. Some of the Itallan newspapers, while condemning the ministry, are complaining that the French soclalists maintained fully as threatening an attitude as the Itallan, but that the czar did mot, on that account, hesitate to visit Paris. The answer to thi of course, 18 that the French government had exhibited the determination and the ability to keep its revolutionists in order. The refusal of the czar to visit him is un- derstood to have been a bitter disappoint- ment to the king of Ttaly, who has always been on terms of .close personal intimacy with the Ruseian potentate, and has al- ‘ways been Inclined to belleve in ml-ll-uc theories. e A great candl scheme for the English Midlands s under consideration and likely soon to be put into execution. The obfect of it Is to connect Manchester and Liverpool with the Potterles, Wolverhampton and Birmingham. A surveying party has been making an exhaustive examination of the levels with a view to beginning digging operations in the course of a few months. It 18 belleved that the promoters have the support of the Mersey Weaver Navigation trustées and that the canal will be an ex- tenslon of their system. This runs from ‘Weston Point, at the junction of the Man- chester 8hip canal and the Mersey estuary, 1o Winsford (Cheshire), and at present car- ries a large proportion of the salt, chemi- cal and earthenware traffic of the coun- try. It is proposed to extend the canal so as to admit of the passage of steamers of 300 tons to the Potterfes, Wolverhampton and Birmingham. There is & small canal already existing, which only carries barges of from twenty-five to fifty tons, and china and the earthenware manufacturers are en thusiastically In favor of a waterway which | would enable them to secure their china |~ clays in larger bulk and export ware with- out trans-shipment and consequently at much less expense. The local chambers of commerce are expected to furnish sub- stantfal ald to the enterprise. P ‘There are symptoms in Denmark of an inclination to ‘enter Into more friendly re- lations with Germany and it is even re- ported that King Christian has promised to visit Dresden to be present at the un- velling of & statue to Bismarck. The edftor of the Danish ministerial organ, the Politis ken, suggests that the economic situation of Denmark and the danger of a protec- tionist England, may account for this ac- tion on the part of the old king. Denmark, he says, could not support the crisis which would be the consequence of such a change in England. She must have new openings At any cost and she could find no better substitute for the English market than that of Germany. “The conquest of the German market Is the object aimed at by King Christian and it is in order to preserve for his people the possibility of a treaty of commerce with that empire that he for- geots the just grievances of Denmark against her southern nelghbor.” o Senor Salmeron, ex-president of the short-lived Spanish republic, has been talk- Ing with & newspaper correspondent in Ma- drid and declaring his conviction that the monarchy will soon disappear and be suc- ceeded by & popular government. He de- clined, howe to explain his reasons for this confidence. The retirement of Senor Silvela from public life he described as an event of extraordinary political signifi- cance, and he commended his views of the situation as extremely statesmanlike. Spain, he sald, was passing through one of the most serious crises in her constitut- tional Mistory. The republicans had a higher duty to fulfill than the mere utter. ance of eriticism upon tse blunders of the lberals and the conservatives, which had brought about a permanent conflict be- tween the royal authority and the will of the country. They must combine to put an end to the evils that threaten the ruin of the country. They appealed to all men of liberal tendencies to help them in the deliverance of the country and‘the restoration of liberty. Only the liberals, he added, understood that the salvation of Spain depended upon the economic de- velopment of the country. The moment of the supreme struggle was on hand. e The government of Holland, after ap- polnting a competent board of engineers to carefully estimate every item of cost, 18 considering a proposition to ¢ allze the Zuyder Zee by diking the North sea and diking the Yasel river and other trib- utaries. The total capitalized expenditure for the principal and Interest at 3 per cent will be $148,126,480, but this will be reduced from time to time by the rentals and sales jof the reclaimed lands until it shall be finally liquidated. Twenty-five miles of the greatest sea wall in the world, costing $3,- 000,000, will be the Initial structure, and the rest of the money will inclose the river and the harbor of Amsterdam with nearly 200 miles of dikes for the benefit of com- merce and the drainage of 818 square miles of adjacent territor: —ee— AN ENRAGED MONOPOLY. Steel Trust Fames and Threatens Dire Thin Minneapolis Times. A decidedly refreshing bit of anti- monopoly work was that done by Bec- retary Moody in awarding to the Midvale Steel company a contract for one-third of the 16,000 tons of armor plate needed for the new battleships. The Carnegle and Bethlehem companies, instead of gobbling the whole contract at thelr own price, secured awards for 5000 tons each and waxed exceeding wroth. As a matter of fact the Midvale company was the lowest bidder and, If it had possessed facilities for .oing the work, would have been lawfully entitled to the entire contract. It offered to give bond for the fulfillment of the comtract, but there was some question of its ability to do the work on time and for this reason the award was divided, There are two encouraging features in the transaction. One is the administration's deflance of the dictates of the steel trust's armor plate monopoly and the other the certainty that a new plant for the manu- facture of that important material will be established. The government has been pay- ing double prices to the trust and if -the Midvale company succeeds in meeting re- quirements this extortion will cease. This will renew agitation for the addition of an armor plate factory to the maval construction and repair equipment. It is entirely filogleal that a rich and powerful government should remain at the mercy of a greedy trast and pay exorbitant prices for its armor plate, If we are to have a large navy the taxpayers will be robbed of many millions unless one of two things shall occur—either the bringing of prices to a reasonable level by the competition of the Midvale company or the manufacture of armor plate by the government itself. Meanwhile, the steel trust is theatening dire vengeance. It proposes to overthrow the Roosevelt administration in return for being balked in Its extortion. If the people have anything to say about it the admin- fstration will not be defeated on that ac- count, whatever other causes for dissatis- faction there may be. LAUGHING GAS.

From One to Two Dollars Saved on Every Suit MODERN RAILWAY STATIONS That About to Be Built at Washington to Bo Unique. UNEXCELLED IN IMPOSING MAGNIFICENCE Joint Terminals of Pennsylvania and Baltimore & Ohlo at National Capital to Cost Fourteen Millions, “Nothing in the way of illustration that has yet appeared affords anything like an adaquate conception of the impressiveness of the new Washington station,” is Major Pangborn’s comment upon such as hias thus far been published in connection with the 14,000,000 unfon passenger terminals for which the Baltimore & Ohlo and Pennsyl- vania companies have just completed the letting of contracts. Major Pangborn s & Baitimore & Ohlo man, the director of that company's great section at the St. Louis exposition, and which, in the 50,00 square feet allotted to it, will typity the evolu- tion and development of the world's rail- way. Central in this large expanse—by the way, the greatest devoted to one representation in the vast structure devoted to transporta- tion exhibits, and, for that matter, in the entire exposition—will stand a model of the Washington station as cppearing when finished. Fronting elghty feet, with a depth of forty feet and rising to a Nelght of fifteen feet from the floor, it is upon a scale of proportions and effectiveness be- lleved to have never before been attempted in an architectural model. The showing of the interfor is belng as painstakingly looked to as is the exterior, with such ar- rangements of the base perfected as to enable the passing through below and rais- ing head high, so to speak, to fully com- prehend the inside plan. As & matter of course, & model, itself as big as a house, as the saying goes, is of ample dimensions to permit @ thousand or more people to walk upright about in it, but this manner of in- spection would be at the expense of dwarfing the noble proportions of the struc- ture, hence the provisions for the heads only of the visitors projecting, at stated points, through the marble floor. Some Pointed Comparisons. Through his familiarity with the progress of the work In the construction of the model, his acquaintance with the details of the plans of the new station, Major Pang- born has come to be something of an au- thority as to it. This is augmented by his well known personal knowledge of all the great rallway stations abroad, his years of study of transportation development throughout the world rendering him in position to institute comparisons at once intelligent and comprehensive. Without reservation it is his convictlon that tha Washington terminal will,be the most im: posing and the most completely up to mod ern lights upon passenger demands in the world. Germany's present foremost station, and, at this time In most respects the greatest abroad, that at Frankfort, will be relegated to second rank when the new Hamburg station now in about the same preliminary stages as the Washington station reaches its ultimate form. But ugither the Ham- burg or the Frankfort, or, for that matter, the new station of the Orleans rallway in the great station at Dresden, not to enumerate others claiming prominence for vastness, modern perfection of facilities, convenlence for passengers and Imposing exterior appearance, ¢an be regarded as in It is the tailor- The way the concave Over ninety-five store in Zibeline. satin.

No stations anywhere excel those in London in these respects. In and out of the Liv- erpool Street station—that of the Great Eastern railway, there are almost, if not quite, double the number of trains daily of any other in the world—upward of 1,100. Nobody gets hurt, everybody gets there, and it 1s a whirl in every morning and a swirl out every afternoon that is of the remarkable sights of London. But the station, what there is of it, is as barn- liké, cheerless and ramshackly as most others in London. Dust and dirt would seem to be at a premium, and advertising signs, posters and cards thrust themselves into your face at every turn. To Be a Marble Palace, Architecturally, the London stations make no speclal pretensions. Many of those on the continent do; Frankfort, Dres- den, the Orleans at Paris and the uew Hamburg, for instance. Imposing in appearance, suggestive of the real thing, they, as a rule, are not. Facades with their reliefs, and colonnades with thelr statuary, are all of the same substance, composition. The development of the sky scraper here has brought terra cotta, as It is termed, literally to the front, and it is! much the same thing as the general sub- stitution for stone, granite and marble abroad. It hasn't got into rallway station use on this side as yet, at least, to any ap- preciable extent, and assuredly the initia- tive will ot be at Washington. Marble, wholly unkuown on the other side in such connection, will be the material. Its pure tore will harmonize as could none other with the pure classic form and lines of the structure. Within there will be marble ga- lore, mahogony, bronze and glass, Nothing less rich and permanent. At the best, a structure 700 feet frontage, | with a depth of 3#® feet and height of 100 | feet, is most difficult of anything approach- ing a comprehensive portrayal in the ordi- nary newspaper way. A mass of marble of the dimensions named is a wholly dif- ferent proposition. Its very atmosphere is overpoweringly impressive. No edifice in this country, few, indeed, If any, in the| world present a parallel to the triumphal arcade of the Washington station with its | three magnificent arches each thirty feet| in width and fifty feet in height opening | into & vestibule with triple domes sixty o0dd feet high and thirty-five feet in dlam- eter. And, from within the vestibule, a | vista through arches and domes three hun- | dred and more feet on either hand. The mode!, Major Pangborn explains, already gives hint of the glories of that which Burn- | ham aspifes to be longest remembered by, | and to the model, now that the long siege of plan making is over, he is devoting & personal supervision, insuring & memorable completion. | tariff terms with the United State Daring Feat by Surgeons. H An operation was performed recently at | the Cook county hospital which s one | of the first of its kind In the country. George Diets, 80 years old, was operated on for chronic Bright's disease by Dr. John Dill Robertson, professor of surgery at the American College of Medicine and | Surgery. The patient's kidneys were both decapsulated, which, the surgeons say, | is one of the most daring operations of ! modern surgery. Out of the fifty cases which have been ®0 treated in Europe and America ® per | cent have recovered. It is belleved, the surgeons say, that the new operation to cure kidney disease has solved the prob- lem of successful trewtment where the old method of medical dieting had been unsatisfactory and unreliable. The clinic was ut-‘-l by nearly - T physicians and students, the largest num- mer that has been in the hospital amphi- theater since Dr. Lorenz's clinics a year ago. Dr. Robertson performed a similar operation six months ago, from which the patient is now practically recovered.—Chi- cago Inter Ocean WAKING UP THE OLD WORLD Yankee Alarm Clocks and Other Grades of Tickers Dolng Busi- ness'at Home and Abroad, Like the sound of the shot fired by the “embattled farmers” at Lexington, the tick of the Yankee clock is now “heard round the world.” Our clock export trade is ‘worth about §1,000,000 a year. Unfortunately, its volume shows no very great increase during the last ten years. In 1803 it was $962,423. In 1902 it shows as $1,146,351, a fal | ing off of $160,000 from the figures of 1901 The clocks exported are generally of an inexpensive class, and $1,00000 worth makes quite a littie mountain of them. The extent of their distribution is indicated by the report of a single week of August last. During that week clocks of a total value of $165,000 were shipped to England, Scot- land, Germany, Spain, Maderia, the Azores, Cuba, Colombia, Brazil, Argentine, Natal, Indla and Newfoundland. Shipments of other weeks to these and to other lands show that the cheerful tick of the Yankee timepiece is a famillar sound in nearly every country of the globe. The exasper. ating shriek of the American alarm clock breaks the stillness of the morning from the equator to the frozen pole, and men of all races, colors and tongues hurl their anathemas at it in thelr respective lan- guages, even though they hurl nothing more welghty. Our export of watches is close upop the heels of the clock trade, and shows an in- crease which gives fair assurance of still greater increase. The export of watches in 1893 was valued at $241,768. In 1902 it had risen to the sum of $998,109. The fact that about three-fifths of the watch exports of 1902 went to Canada s only a fair argu- ment of a very extensive trade awalting our cultivation elsewhere. During that year Canada purchased $575,000 worth of Ameri- can watches. From England, to whom it gave a preferential tariff rate, Canads bought during the same year 39,00 worth. Germany and Switzerland sold on equal The Garman sales were $12700 and the Swiss | $126,660. Canada bought last year $198,000 worth of American clocks, $5,260 worth of English clocks and 36,000 worth of French, | ehiefly in marble cases, a French specialty. We quote these Canadian figures because { they exhibit the abllity of the American | product to meet the competition which it has to face in forelgn markets. That which is done in Canada can be done elsewhere by the expenditure of a modicum of trdde energy. The United States can and should make the timepleces of the world.—New York Sun.
