Berlin Press Sees in Bequests an Impulse to Anglo- German Unity. BERLIN, April 6.—“This bequest shows the wide range of Cecil Rhodes' mind and his visign of the future,” said Emperor William to Dr. von Lucanus, the chief of | his Majesty's Civil Cablinet, who alluded to the will of Mr. Rhodes during an audi- | ence with the Emperor yesterday morn- ing. It was then pointed out to the Emperor that while Rhodes had left precise direc- tions as to the selection of the beneficiaries of the Rhodes schelarships in other coun- { tries, the selection of the beneficiaries of the fifteen scholarships set aside for Ger- | many had been left to the discretion of Emperor William. ' The bequests of Rhodes are regarded at court as constituting an enduring impulse 10 good féeling between Germany, Great Britain and the United States and the | colonies of these countries, and as giving more substamce to the grouping of the Teutonic powers. “The earth belongs to the vital, living peoples, and these should act as one when inefficlent powers check advancement,” 1s another utterance attributed to the Ger- | man Emperor when his Majesty was| speaking of Prince Henry's trip and the | need of a better understanding with the United States. The inclusion of Germany in Rhodes’ aims, as set forth ir his will, has brought out some considerate expressions con- cerning his imperial purposes from even the Anglophobe journais, although most | of the commentators on his purpose hold him responsible for the Boer war. | “Why, I have not such a Ministe | Emperor William is said to have ex- claimed after an interview with Cecil | Rhodes in 1889.

LONDON, April 7.—The Daily Malil this morning gives the opinions of some dis- | tinguished Oxford Dons concerning the | Rhodes scholarships. | Dr Moberly, canon of Christ Church | | College, spoke in eloquent terms of the | | plan. It would, he said, bring picked men | | of the best type of Americans, | than the wealthy Americans | heretofore come to Oxford mainly | i | | social advantages. | Mr. Skane, bursur of Christ Church | College, said that if the yearly allow- | ance of £300 were merely for the yearly semester, it would enable the scholar to | live comfortably, but if it were intended ; to include also vacation expenses, llle‘ balance left for the uniyersity would ren- | the scholarship come to Christ Church. | Dr. McGrath, the popular provost of | | Queen’s Coliege, was emphatic in his pre- | dictions of future good arising for Oxtord | from the Rhodes scholarships. He said | he was particularly struck by the wis- | dom of Rhodes in arranging that the | gradual operationyof the plan spread over | three years. | It will give the scholars,” said Dr. | McGrath, “time to assimiliate with the | | mass, and it will prevent undue herding { with their own kin.” Dr. Esson of Merton, Professor Smith, history tutor of Balli6l, and others wel- | comed the idea heartily. { The dean of New College sald he con- | sidered £300 ample, even if the student | had to maintain himself the year round, | bug he said that Ceell Rhodes had fallen | into the same error*as most educational | | benefactors in forgetting that the uni- | versity needed an endowment quite as | much as the scholars. | Dr. Stevenson of Exeter College said he | thought the plan would bring Oxford good | athletes and enable the university to | | achieve the much desired object of van- quishing Cambridge in athletics. The Times, in an editorial on the recep- tion of Rhodes’ plan abroad, says: *“It| is unnecessary to discuss the political as- pects of the scheme as is indicated by | Mr. Rhodes’ aspirations for a better un- | derstanding between England, Germany | | and the United States; but it cannot be | doubted that the effect on Oxford will be far-reaching. The influx of Americans and Germans will tend to quicken the in- | tellectual life.” The Daily Telegraph to-day announces | that Emperor William and President | Roosevelt both received an intimation | from the trustees of Mr. Rhodes’ estate | as to what the will proposed before that | document was made public. The Presi- | dent and the Emperor intimated to the | trustees, according to the Telegraph, their | pleasure at and approval of the legacies | in a friendly cablegram. SOON TO SIGN | THE TREATIES)| United States, Nicaragua and Costa Rica Agree on Canal Question. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, April 6—Secretary Hay, representing the United States; Senor Don Luis F. Corea, representing Nicaragua, and Senor Don Joaquin B. Calvo, representing Costa Rica, will, during the latter part of this week, sign treaties authorizing the United States to construct the Nicaragua canal. It had been supposed that these three gentlemen wcre engaged in the negotia- tion of protocols to be used as a bdsis of treaties when Congress authorized the President to construct the Isthmian. ca- nal. I learn, however, that the instru- ments which are belng negotiated are treaties, and, in accordance with their character, the?' will be submitted to the Senate immediately after their signature for ratification. In view of the fact that Secretary Hay has consulted influential members of the Senate upon every fea- ture of the negotiations, confidence is expressed that no obstacles will be placed | in the way of ratification. | —_——— OIL INSTEAD OF COAL ON SOUTHERN PACIFIC Tanks to Be Erected Along the Line From Beaumont to San Francisco. BEAUMONT, Tex., April 6.—Thirty-five cers were set out to-day in the Southern Pacific yards to be equipped as sleeping, dining ané kitchen cars for five crews of forty-two men each which .will con- struct the storage tanks for the South- ern Pacific Rallroad between Beaumont and San Francisco. The Penman JIron and Steel Works have the contract . for most of the tanks west of Beaumont. and the first crew of forty-two men will lcave here for Yuma, Ariz.,, on Wednesday A second crew will go to D'Hanis, Tex,, next Friday, and the third will go to Del Rio, Tex., a few days later. The other two crews will be sent out within the next ten days. The Penman Company will construct tankage for the Southern Pacific Rallroad o ihe capacity of 1,500,000 barrels, and it is mow evident that trains will be pulled from New Orleans to San Francisco with ofl fuel within a few months. —_— MARQUETTE, Mich., April orthern xmummnd-uwum Heavy snow the lake to fury. der it inadvisable that the beneficiary of | | BATTLE OVER CUBAN RECIPROCITY TO BE FOUGHT IN HOUSE THIS WEEK Situation Is Ufiusually Complicafed, Many Republicans Opposing and Democrats Favoring the Payne Bill Granting a Twenty Per Cent Reduction in Tariff on the Products of the Island i 4y 1902. % il ‘\\‘IMHH ISEAY P A TIVE. o TEdas ASHINGTON, April 6.—The great battle over Cuban reci- procity, which created such a protracted struggle among the Republicans, both in cau- cus and in the Committee on Ways and Means, will be fought on the floor of the House this week. The ultimate passage of the Payne bill, providing for a 20 per cent reduction on the products of Cuba after the negotiation of a reciprocity treaty and the enactment of our immigra- | tion laws by the republic.of Cuba, is re- garded as a foregone conclusion, but the situation is a complicated one, owing to the divisions among the Democrats as well as the Republicans. How far the Republican opponents of the proposed leg- islation will carry their objection is not determined. The strength of this opposi- tion has dwindled until it probably num- bers less than thirty. On the other hand, up to the present time a large majority of the Democrats favor the greatest pos- sible freedom of trade with Cuba and would vote for a deeper cut than the ‘Ways and Means bill proposes. Others, like Newlands of Nevada, are in favor of the immediate annexation of the island, and, under the leadership of the Louisi- ana members, will oppose strenuously any tariff concessions whatever. It is hinted that the attitude of the Democrats in the Senate who have fixed on a programme of opposition there may result, before the Y POSTPONE WORLD'3 FAIR Commissioner Barrett Intimates Opening ‘Will Be Delayed. CHICAGO, April 6.—John Barrett, com- missioner general to Asia for the Louisi- ana Purchase Exposition, left Chicago to- night for San Francisco, en route tb the Orient. As Barrett has just returned from Washington, where he had access to the diplomatic correspondence with for- eign governments on Worid's Fair mat- ters, and as he has also been in recent conference with the fair officlals at St. Louis, the following statement made by him to-night in reference to the reporls of a possible postponement of the 8St. Louls Exposition has a speclal signifi- cance: _The World's Fair management in St. Louls has been bending every energy to have the ex- position open promptly in 1993, but a grave condition has arisen which it cannot control and for which it is not responsible. Nearly all of the forelgn governments have unofficially notified the United States Government or the World's Fair management that it is a physical impossibility for them to be creditably repre- sented at St. Louls in 1003, On the other hand, while the majority of them have accepted for 1605 and will do the best they can, they have informally intinfhted that if the exposition is partponed they will endeavor to surpass even What they did at Chicago and Paris. _As the success of the World's Fair, as a great inter- national exposition, must depend largely on for- cign. participation, it can be seen that this Is u most serious consi w ther Con- Sress mor the, cxposition ofe(als can In short, if the World’s Fair at St. Louls is | nel overlook, | vote shall be taken, in more unity of ac- tion on the part of the Democrats of the House. Debate Will Be Brief. Some of the Republican opponents of the bill will speak against it,sbut the leaders of the Republican opposition show a strong disinclination to participate in the debate, on the ground that there is no hope of defeating the bill and that their speeches would become Democratic cam- paign material in_the coming Congres- sional campaign. The bill will be brought up on Tuesday as a revenue bill, which is priveleged under the rules, but no spe- cial order will be brought in for its con- sideration. In this way the possibility of a defeat of a rule through a combina- tion of the Republican recalcitrants and the Democrats will be avoided. The gen- eral debate will be allowed to exhaust it- self, The leaders on both sides estimate that not more /than three days will be consumed in general debate. The real fight will come probably when the bill is read for amendment under the five-minute rule. It will.be then that the Democrats will seek to offer amendments having for thelr purpose the opening up of the whole tariff question. Amendments Out of Order. ‘While some of these amendments might command some Republican votes if they should actually come to a vote, they will be ruled out of order in the House as they were in committee, and the only method by whichi they can be reached would be by overruling the decision of the postponed it will be done largely in deference to the wishes of foreign nations.

ILVER JUBILEE OF THE PONTIFF Impressive Ceremonies ‘Held at Cathedral of Baltimore. Cardinal Gibbons Touches on the Labor Problem in His Sermon. BALTIMORE, April 6.—The silver jubi- lee of Pope Leo XIII was observed with solemn and unusually elaborate services at the cathedral to-day. The ceremony was marked by the presence of two Car- dinals, Cardinal Martinelli, the Apostolic Delegate, who came over from Washing- ton last night to take part in the services, pontificated, and Cardinal Gibbons preached the sermon. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather a large congregation was present. The Cardinal briefly outlined the per- sonal and eccleslastical history of Leo XIII, dwelling especially on his encycli- eals, on which he sald: The first encyclical to which I shall allude is on Christian marriage, which was published in 1880. The Holy Father vindicated in strong and earnest lunguage, ‘be unity, the sanctity and the indissolubility of the marriage bond. He tells us that the married couple are the scurce of the family, the family is the source of soclety. Social life cannot be maintained in its purity and integrity unless it is sanetified at the fountain head of the home. The encyclical on ‘“The Condition of Work- men was promulgated in 1891 and is an ex- haustive document on the rights and duties of the laboring classes. Never did the Redeemer of mankind confer a greater temporal blessing on humanity than by ennobling and sanctify- ing manuai labor and by rescuing it from the degeneration which has been attached to it. Christ comes into the world not surrounded by the pomp and splendor. of an imperial majesty, butl he appears as the reputed son of an arti- . “Is not this the carpenter, the son of ¥7"" the people sald to him. He has shed a halo around the workshop and has lightened the workman's tools by assuming the trade of an artisan. If the professions of a soldier, of a jurist, or of a prelate can be dignified by the exumplés ‘of a Washington, a Carroll and a how much more is the calling of a ic ennobled by the example of Christ? A conflict between labor and capital Is as unreasonable as would be a contention between The interests of cap- ital and labor are correlative. Capital without labor will be unproductive; labor without capi- tal would be unprofitable. What would it avail a capitalist to say: ‘‘Behold, this mountain of coal is mine”’ if there. were no hardy sons of toll to extract the coal from its recesses and send it to the market? What would it profit the laborer to exhibit his brawny arm and his skili If there were no capitalists to give him employment? . The third encyelical, to which I shall allude, appeared in 1885 and treats of the “Constitu- tionality of the Christian States.”” In this document the Holy Father clearly demonstrates that the Catholic church can adapt {tself to all forms of civil government. The Cardinal then related a number of | incidents which had come under his per- { sonal observation during his assoclation with the Pope, tending to show his strik- ing personality, his courtly manner and marked ability as a younger man and the wonderful clearness of his intellect and excellence of his memory at the pres- ent time, in spite of his 93 years. WASHINGTON, Aoril 6.—The Catholic University was the scene to-day of a bril- liant_ceremony in honor of the jubilee of the Pope. The fact that Pope Leo is the fovnder of the university, made the occa- sior. one in which the professors, students and friends took great delight. The Right Rev. Rector Bishop Conaty officlated In a portifical mass. The sermon was preached by the Very Rev. Edmund T. Shanahan, dean of the faculty of theology. The sermon was an analysis of the contributions of Leo XIII t> the solution of the eat intellectual. moral, social, demoeratic, industrial and religious Sroblems of the past century. The students of Georgetown College adopted resolutions of joy on the event celebrated by Catholics to-day and sent a congratulatory message to the Pope. WILD WEST SHOW WILL CROSS THE CONTINENT For the First Time in Its Existence It Will Visit the Pacific Coast. NEW YORK, April 6.—Announcement is made that by a recently completed agree- ment Barnum & Balley's circus will be brought back from Europe next year and that Buffalo Bill's Wild West show will succeed it there. Bailey concluded the arrangement for this practical division of the old and new worlds during his recent trip to the United States and on his re- turn here in May the details of the plun will be worked out. The Wild West show, after its spring epgagements in this city, will go entirely across the continent, taking in Arizona and other Western States which gave birth to the life it pictures. For the first time -in its eighteen years of existence it will visit the Pacific Coast States. With the close of the season the show whl be taken abroad for a stay of possibly two years.

FLEEGE THEIR VIGTIMG 0UT OF MILLIONS “Get- Rich - Quick” Con- cerns in Kentucky Collapse. 3 Failures Coms When They Are Refused tha Use of the Mails, Receiver for One Company Files Re- port Placing Several Promie nent Citizens in a Bad Light. -— Special Dispatch to The Call. LEXINGTON, Ky., April 6.—Kentucky is on the berder of a small financial panie. Fourteen investments companies, which have been running- here for from three to eight years and gathered in from Ken: tucky and the surrounding States nearly $3,000,000, are on the verge of collapse. The money came from poor people, who had only a few spare dollars to invest The companies, in many instances, prom- 1sed §3 for every $1 invested. Six months ago the Postoffice Depart- ment refused longer to allow the com- panies, excepting two, use of the mails, S0 the fallures began. . First there were assignments, but when it was found that the companies showed no assets, recef ers were asked for. Two of these recel ers have reported. One’s report is of such a startling nature as to be the sole topic of discussion to-day. The men involved were of the most prominent in business and church circles, including a minister and several deacons and Sunday-school teachers. The report offered in the Circult Court is irom George C. Webb, receiver for the United Sgates Mutual Investment Com- pany, incorporated three years ago, pur- porting to have a pald up capital stock of $100,000. After stating that he found in cash but $240 40 and office fixtures, upon which there was a landlord’s lien, besides a lot of mortgages upon real estate, the receiver deciares there are many . out- standing notes which he could not get hold of. It appears, says the receiver, that the company loaned 32500 to A. W. Kratzar, a stockhoMer and director of the company, which was secured by a real estate. mortgage. The receiver says on this point: “The receiver is informed that these notes, by order of George Copland, one of the directors and stockholders and at that time secretary of the company, were sent and surrendered to said Kratzar without any eonsideration therefor and the only claim against said Kratzar in lieu of said notes, as the receiver is in- formed, s simply a charge against him on the books of the company for said amount. “It further appears,” says the receiver, “that there has been issued to different directors and officers of the company large amounts of certificates and coupons of said investment tompany and for the yment of dues upon which said officers g:\-e simply executed their notes and never pald any cash into the company. The transactions in this regard with the company would exceed $100,000.” WHY HITCHCOCK IS SOON TO QUIT THE CABINET Unable to Administer the Affairs of His Office Without Constant Friction. WASHINGTON, April 6—Secretary Hitchcock’s coming withdrawal from the Cabinet will be the result of a variely of causes. Chief among these is his ap- parent Inabllity to administer the affairs of his great office without congtant fric- tion. His decisions In land dases and en questions appertaining to the Indians have in nearly every instance caused trou- ble. It is charged against him that he once ordered a tract of public land cleared of sheep which had been turned out to graze without proper perthission from the Interior Department. The order was exe- cuted by killing all the sheep. His rela- tions with railroad and other corpora- tions have not been pleasant. The President has been simply _over- whelmed with complaints about Hiteh- cock’s dictatorial methods. Hitchcock might have been sustained in most of the complaints if he had been able to present his side of the case in a manner satisfac- tory to the President. He could not do this. Whenever the President asked him for an explanation he had to go back to the Interior Department and seek the in- formation desired among his subordinates. - Must Not Attend the Passion Play.

ADVERTI 5 THE WHOLE SECRET 0f the Remarkable Success of a Remedy for In- digestion and Stomach Troubles. A New Remedy Which May Revolutionize the Treatment of Stomach Troubles. Now Piaced Before the Public and Bears the Indorsement of Many Leading Fhysicians and Scientific Men. This preparation is not a wonderful discovery nor yet a secret patent medicine, neither is it claimed to cure anything except dyspepsia, In- digestion and stomach troubles, with which nine-tenths - of ~our nation are more or less .fl'r.;:e‘:m'dy is in the form of pleasant tasting tablets or lozenges containing vegetable and fruit essences, pure asceptic pepsin (free from animal impurities), Golden Seal and diastase. They are sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Many interesting experiments made with these tabléts show that they possess remark- able digestive power, one grain of the active principle In one of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets being sufficlent to thoroughly digest 3000 of lear: meat, eggs, oatmeal or similar ‘wholesome food. Stuart’s Tablets do not act upon the” bowels like after dinner piils and cheap cathartics, which simply {rritate’ and inflame the intes- tines without having any effect whatever in curing indigestion, 1 the stomach can be rested and assisted in the work of digestion it will very soon recover _its normal vigor, as no organ is so much abused and overworked as the stomach. This is the | secret and the whole secret of the remarkable success of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, a rem- edy practically now the most popular, safest and most widely sold of any treatment for stomach weakness. ‘This success has been secured entirely uponm its merit as a digestive, pure and simple; be- cause there can be no stomach trouble If the food Is promptly digested. * Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets act entirely uj the food eaten, digesti it completely, so :Jt can be assimilas into blood, nerve and saue. Every drop of blood, every bone, nerve and tissue in the body can be remewed in but ome way, and that js from wholesome food properly a . There is no other way, and the idea that a medicine in itself can purify the bicod or supply new tissue and strong nerves is ridi- culous and on a par with the fol-de-rol that dyspepsia Is a germ disease or that other fal- lacy that a weak stomach which refuses to digest food can be made to do so by Irri inflaming the bowels by pills cathartics. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure dyspepsia, ‘water brash, sour stomach, catarrh of the stomach, gas and bloating after meals because they furnish the digestive power, which is the one thing that weak stomachs lack, and assist and catharties which have absolutely no digestive pewer and do mot claim to have any.
