Al M HOAR'S SPEECH WAS READ BY FILIPINOS Man Whose Words Gave Hope to Aguinaldo. CHICAGO, Jan. 14.—John Barrett, ex- Minister to Siam, for the first time pub- licly named Senator Hoar last night at Lake Forest University as the Senator whose anti-expansion speech was cabled to Hongkong and subsequently put in the hands of the Filipino soldiers, causing, as Mr. Barrett believed, the open insurrec- tion. Frequently this speech and its pre- | sumed effect have been mentioned, and the reading public has connected the name of Senator Hoar with it, and it is prob- able that Mr. Barrett would not have used the lawmaker’s name on this occasion had | he not been facing an audience known to be largely hostile to the administration’s policy in the Oriental islands. It appears | further from the ex-Minister's :peec?\ that | the Governme has discovered privately | the stages by which the anti-expansion s reached Luzon. | {INGTON, Jan. 14.—Senator Hoar | to-night declined’ to take any notice of the statements attributed to Mr. Barrett, ex-Minister to Siam, In an address on the | Philippine question. The Senator sald that General Otis' reports gave the full- | est account of the events that led to| hostilities, and that he expects, as he has | already given notice, to deal with the whole matter in the Senate. - PROFESSORS TO FIGHT PRESIDENT AYERS Faculty of University of Cincinnati | Detetrmined to Oust the Execu- | tive if Possible. l CINCINNATI, Jan. 14.—This has been a ! day of anxiety among those connected either directly or indirectly with the Uni- versity of Cincinnati.

While our informa- tion respecting the proposed German in- crease is not entirely accurate, we under- stand that the programme to be proposed will require the fleet to be increased aur- ing the next sixteen years by ten battle- | We purpose to call the attention of the | ships and eight large crulsers, besides twenty-seven substitutes and three new authorized by the programme of with additional provision that sub- stitutes for the eight coast defense ships of the Siegfried class shall be battleships. This will practically result in doubling the German naval strength. The new law will provide ior a gradual increase, so that in each year three ships will be laid down. In each year there will also be laid down' three small cruisers and one tor- pedo boats divisions. Germany is apt to be a nation with which many vex- atious ques..ons will arise and the best way to prevent war with her or an other nation is by having a strong fleet. In addition to the programme already submitted, therefore, 1 hope that Con- gress will add three battieships, which will give us an available battlesi.p fleet of eighteen modern vessels.” Secretary Long is not in favor of any further Increase in the programme he has recommended contemplating the authori- zation of three armored cruisers, three protected cruisers and twelve gunboats. He bases his objection upon the fact that Congress has not yet authorized armor for the New Jersey class of battleships and their construction cannot begin until such authority Is obtained, and to add three battleships to the pending pro- gramme would overtax the shipbuilding r urces of the country. The Secretary does not belleve that ' Congress would authorize three additional battleships, though he has been informed that his rec- ommendations will be adopted. Secretary Long has selected Captain J. | E. Craig, chief hydrographer, mander of the cru just undergone sucs trial in English waters. A crew is being formed for the Albany, which Captain alg will take to England in the auxili- ry cruiser Prairie. A crew is also being formed for the battleship Kearsarge.

Shakespearean crit- icism since Hazlitt's time bears out the general truth of Hazlitt's observation even better perhaps than he could have guessed. In approaching any one of Shakespeare's plays to-day one Is beset by the array of commentators represe ing many methods and purposes of study. | In the midst of authorities the student | finds relief in turning to the play itself | and in reading it as a piece of literature | the subject matter of which is his chief | concern.

AGRICULTURAL EXPORTS FROM THIS COUNTRY About Sixty Per Cent Find a Market in the United Kingdom and Its Dependencies. WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—Frank H. Hitchcock, chief of the foreign markets division of the Agricultural Department, | has prepared an Interesting collation of | figures showing for the first time the re- | spective amounts of our agricultural ex- ports which go to the several countries of Europe and of the other continents. The period covered s 1834 to 1895. The state- ment shows that the agricultural products exported from the United States duuin the five y had an average annnal value of $663,538,201. Of these enormous exports about 60 per cent found a market in the United Kingdom and its various dependencies. The sum paid by the Bri ish people for American farm products purchased during the perfod mentioned reached as high as $403953,854 a year. Great Britain alone took more than on. half of all our agricultural exports, the consignments credited to that count forming about 5 per cent of the total | shipments and having an average annual | value of $362.407,701. @ | ~Germany, which ranks next to the United Kingdom as a market for the products of American agriculture, re- ceived about 16 per cent of the exports for 1894-98, the average yearly value amounting to $86,320,264. France, with purchases that averaged $43,988,791 a year, or about 6.6 per cent of the total, was the third country In im- ortance. These three countries—the Jnited Kingdom, Germany and Franca— received together nearly 75 per cent of the total agricultural exports. After the three countries just men- | tioned The Netherlands, Belgium, Cana- | da, Ttaly and Spain afforded the most im- portant markets.

Rumor That McCann Will Surrender His Contract. Special Digpatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Jan. l4.—Contractor Me- Cann, who has the contract for deepen- ing and widening Alviso Slough, is meet- ing with all kinds of difficulties and it is reported that he has abandoned his con- tract. The dredger, a patent of Capitalist Jordan of Oakland, kas not been made to work since its arrival at Alviso, a couple of weeks ago. A large force of carpenters have been at work since then making changes and repairing. It is said that Jordan and McCann have concluded it is better to forfeit the bond of $10,000 than lose more on the work. Word has also reached here from San Francisco in a let- ter from J. R. Freud, president of the Merchants’ Assocfation, that it {s under- 5(00% there the contract is to be aban- oned. McCann's flo&\)xra on the work was a lit- tle over $12,000, one-fourth of the Gov- ernment’s appropriation of $48,000 and less than half of the other blds.

To | the reader of literature as distinguished from the student of literature the simpler interest of the matter or underlying idea | | of a play will appeal more str han a historical or analytical or critical study | of the book picked up for recreation or | amusement. It might, of course, be urged | that the great writers have composed | | their works primarily for readers of this | | type. As readers, then, with some leisure, | willing to be interested or amused or @i- | | verted from the ordinary affairs of life— | | as readers we should begin our acqualnt- | ance with such a play as “Coriolanus.” | Fortunately for us, the difficulties in the way of reading a play of Shakespeare's a hundred years ago have been practically cleared away. The text, at that time more or less uncertain, has been falrly well fixed; not that the text of to-day s | the same as that printed in Shakespears's | time—absolute faithfulness in this respect would be intolerable to the average read- | er—but that the reading of the lines has been generally decided upon. The text of | “Coriolanus” 1s perhaps less satisfactory than that of other plays originally in the quarto editions; “Coriolanus” was mnot | printed until 16: in the first folio, while we may fairly assume that the play was written some fourteen years earfier. The unsatisfactory character of the text Is doubtless due to imperfect copy from which the play was printed In the first folio. The editor of the second follo (1632) | made many changes in the text—double | negatives and double comparatives, com- mon in Elizabeth’s time, were changed to fit the more logical if less historical gram- | mar of modern English. Words that | | seemed obsolescent to the editor of the | second folio were changed to commoner forms. The fifteen plays, moreover, that had already appeared in quarto form had been so altered In various editions as to add to the confusion of the text. It is not surprising that Malone, one of the greatest editors of Shakespeare, in his variorum edition almed to do little more than establish the text. In his preface Malone says that the two great | | duties of an editor are to exhibit the | | genuine text of his author and to explain | his obscurities. To Malone and his inde- | fatigable followers we are indebted for the clear text that may now be had almost for the asking. | On opening “Corfolanus” one sees that | | the characters are Roman; one recalls other Roman characters in “Juliu: | Caesar” and in “Antony and Cleopatra.” | | These three plays naturally fall together | in the character of the matter invoived. Moreover, they are all three tragedies. | After reading the Roman historical plays | the student wiil find it interesting to com- pare the motives of the three, and in do- | ing so the marked individuality of “Corio- | lanus” comes out even more strongly than | in the first reading. It is well in taking up a play to notice | the first impression given us of the chief character. If it is of such a nature as to excite in us opposition, the impression | | may be so strong as to prevent that sym- | thy with the leading characters which | ‘Ps sg necessary to the force of tragedy. | In “Coriolanus,” unless the reader is | forewarned, such an impression might be | made—in this country, at any rate. In| the beginning of the first scene Calus Marcius, later Coriolanus, is spoken of | by discontented citizens as a ‘‘chief enemy to the people,” “‘he’s a very dog to | the commonalty,” “let's kill him ana we'll have corn at any price.” Mareius, | when he appears before the citizens in the | | same scene (line 167) leaves no doubt in | our minds regarding his opinion of the people—not_as individuals, ‘it should be | observed, but as a crowd, as a mob. | | Read also_carefully lines 172-184. From | these and the rest of the scene it is evi- dent that Marcius is not on the side of | the gossips or the demagogues. His op- oslfinn to the people as a crowd, a mob, s quite evident in his invectives. Yet the very intensity of his opposition chal- | lenges our interest; we wonder what his | point of view can be and the reasons for nounced almost the first inquiry for | Marcius. We are made better friends with | Marcius by his answer to Cominius, who is to lead the Roman forces against the Volsciaps. ‘It is your former promise.” “Sir, it is; and I am constant.” As they go off Corlolanus adds: ‘“Noble Mar- us " By faithfulness to his friends and in te of his opposition to the geovle Mar- y and the s now starts our sympat! play is fairly begun. nr'cn the return of name is men- Cori to Rome eb and Heririe VVriothefley, Earle of Southampron, and Baron of Titchfield.

San Francisco had a gentle rock yes- terday forenoon. The shake, If such It may be termed, occurred at 11:26% a. r., and was of so light a character as to be hardly felt except to those who were In- doors. The gentleness of the shake may be imagined when the seismograph on top of the fire alarm station on Brennan piace was not disturbed. Charles Allen, who has charge of the seismograph, and his assistant, Frank A. lederman, were un- able to discover the slightest disturbance of the instrument in the building after the quake had passed.
