POWERFUL FRIENDS
Bolivia Will Ba Aided by
Brazil and Argentina.
HAY GET BACK HER COAST LINE
Result of the Meeting of tie Presi
dent of the Tiro Leading?
South American Republics.
"WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. It la the understanding-
among prominent members
of the diplomatic corps that the visit of
President Campos-Salles, of Brazil, to the
President of Argentina has been produc
tive of an agreeable understanding by
which these two powerful republics agree
to exert their united influences toward
the pacific adjustment of some of the
perplexing questions which have dis
turbed their neighboring republics. While
there is said to have been no formal
treaty or alliance, the Indications are
that the two nations will now carry for
ward the same general policy for a pa
cific adjustment of pending difficulties.
One of these disputes relates to the 'coast
line of Bolivia. At one time Bolivia was
possessed of a considerable ocean iront,
with some good harbors, but as a result
of a war, Chile took possession of all of
Bolivia's coast line, leaving that country
In the same condition as Switzerland,
without access to sea, and hemmed In on
all sides by opposing forces. Bolivia has
taken this very much to heart, and her
pleas have appealed to tbesense of justice
of quite a number of the South American
etatcs. It is believed that Bolivia's plight
has been taken into consideration in con
ventions between the Presidents of Brazil
and Argentina, and that without any re
course to arbitrary means they will try
to Induce Chile to grant Bolivia a restora
tion of at least some part of her coast
line, thus restoring her former dignity
and Importance as a maritime nation.
Owing to the strong bonds between these
two nations and Chile. It Is felt that Chile
Trill be disposed to grant every Just de
sire for the rehabilitation of Bolivia. Be
yond this, however, there Is said to be
no likelihood of any pressure being
brought to bear to Chile, as It is only
through pacific means and the usual exer
cise of, good offices that the change is
hoped to be brought about.
The Argentine Minister, Dr. Edourade
"Wilde, was asked today as to the reports
of political significance attached to Pres
ident Campos-Salle's visit to Argentine.
The Minister answered that he had re
ceived no oaicll advices, but he felt war
ranted In expressing his personal convic
tion that the visit will. have a very good(
result in uniting more firmly the close
political relations. The visit was large
ly social and complimentary, being a re
turn of the trip made by the President of
Argentina to Brazil last year. Doubtless
there had been an opportunity during the
exchange of felicitations to talk over
those subjects on which Brazil and Argen
tina are mutually Interested. Dr. Wilde
says both "of the countries desire an end
to the . petty complications which have
arisen from time to time In neighboring
countries, so that there may be uninter
rupted peace for the development of
splendid natural resources. As to Bolivia.
Dr. "Wilde said he Is not advised, but
thought It quite likely that Brazil and
Argentina wpuld make known their desire
for a pacific adjustment of the long pend
ing source of conflict.
The report which has gained circulation
that the southern countries might form a
commercial alliance antagonistic to the
"United States is dismissed by Dr. Wilde
as entirely wlthput foundation. He says
there- is In official circles throughput
South America thejwvery Jilghcst Wgard
Tor the great Tepublle ofxthFnorthrna
that commerce with this country Is be
ing constantly fostered. There is no dis
position anywhere to interrupt this favor
able condition, but a constant desire to
Increase the trade relations and the
strong political bonds of friendship ex
isting between North and South America.
BRITISH ARMY ALERT.
Many Minor Action nnd Skirmishes
In SontU Africa. t
NEW YORK, Nov. 13. War news in
South Africa increases In range and va
riety, says the Tribune's London corre
spondent. There are details of eight or
ten minor actions and skirmishes all the
way from Orange River to Lydenburg.
The conclusion that may be fairly drawn
from this revival of hostilities Is that the
British Army is now thoroughly alert. In
ured to service, remarkably mobile, and
more than a match for Boer wiles and
stratagems. The Boers are now out
maneuvered and .surprised, and the Brit
ish cannot be entrapped, even by Dewet.
Much Is said In England about the ne
cessity for revolutionizing the War Office
and transforming the whole system of
military training. Too little stress Is laid
upon the fact that an army of over 00.000
men Is now having in South Africa the
most strenuous possible training In "the
art of war.
The transfers of Cabinet" officers were
registered at the Council at Windsor yes
terday, and the Foreign Office was turned
over to Lord Lansdowne.
Commissioner Richard Young, of New
York, who starred last Spring on a jour
ney around the , world, has returned to
London with Mrs. Young, after a serious
adventure. He was wrecked In the Sea
of Marmora, after a long JDurney through
Russia, his ship being run down In col
lision and the passengers being taken off
by a Greek vessel. He continued his
Journey through Palest'ne and Egypt, and
Is now homeward bound to New York In
excellent health.
I2WITED TO GER3IANY.
The Kalier "Will Honor Bnroneu
Von Kctteler.
NEW YORK, Nov. IS. According to a
dispatch from Berlin to the Journal and
Advertiser, the Kaiser has Just given fur
ther evidence of his regard for Baron von
Ketteler. who was assassinated In China,
by inviting the Ambassador's American
widow to Germanyv in order that he may
express to her his keen sense not only
of her husband's service, but also of the
courage and gallantry which she herself
displayed throughout the terrible siege of
the Legations.
It Is said that the Kaiser, besides vest
ing the widowed Baroness with the Order
of Louise, of which the Empress is grand
mlsi ess. will offer her a pension and
create her a Countess In her own right.
It Is probable that the Baroness will also
be offered the title of Lady In Waiting to
the Empress. She is certain to be over
whelmed by court, government, society
nnd the people with tokens of kindly sym
pathy and regard. '
SPANISH-AMERICA CONGRESS.
X Mndrld Professor Denounced the
Trea'ty of Pari.
MADRID. Nov. 13. During the proceed
ings of the Spanish-American Congress
today, and while the report of the com
mittee on arbitration was under consid

of International law at the University of
Madrid, delivered a violent speech against
the Spanish-American treaty of Paris,
declaring that "people ought to protest
egainst the feudalism that exists now in
Questions of international order." Senor

plied by Spain, and the rest by the Latin
republics; advised the Government of
Spain to reduce railway and other tariffs
and to reform the customs duties in order
to facilitate the Importation of Spanish-
American produce, and advocated the
concession by the Spanish-American Gov
ernments of navigation bounties, the es
tablishment of coaling stations, and sta
tions for stores. Other recommendations
were that the Spanish-American Govern
ments should negotiate commercial
treaties with Spain; that permanent ex
positions for Spanish and Spanlsh-Axnerl
can produce should be established; that
all sorts of facilities should be extended
the commercial travelers, and that an ex
portation and Importation bank, with
numerous branches, should be founded.
At noon the Queen Regent received fn
audience the members of the congress and
their wives.
The committee on transportation and
posts and telegraphs has concluded Its sit
tings, and the Congress has adopted Its
report. The report "of the science com
mittee was approved with an amendment
eatabllshing special medical academics.
The congress adopted a report relative
to monetary unification. During the de
liberations of the committee on commerce
a Catalan delegate proposed an amend
ment stating that Spain was able to se
cure only favored-nation treatment by
negotiating treaties. Thlsv however, was
rejected Five committees will meet to
morrow to consider a report on other
questions.

A SHORT-LIVED STRIKE.
Grievances of Santa Fe Telegra
phers Quickly Settled.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Nov. 13. A strike
was ordered on the Santa Fe system to
day, involving all the telegraph operators
west of Albuquerque and Including those
in the employ of the Southern California
and San Joaquin Valley roads. The
strike, however, -was of short duration,
for within 30 minutes of the first order,
which emanated from the grievance com
mittee of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Telegraphers at Chicago, there came a
second order directing the men to resume
work. No details are obtainable at' this
end at present, but It is presumed that
concessions were made to the brotherhood'
to call the strike off The duration of
the strike was so limited that, so far as
known, none of the men actually left
their keys.
Operatlon Not Interfered With.
CHICAGO, Nov. 13. "Does the fact that
a settlement has been reached mean that
the concessions asked by the men in the
matter of better wages and shorter hours
have been granted?" was a query put to
night to Mr. Barr, .first vice-president of
the road.
"As to that, I am not able to answer
with authority or certainty," was the re
ply, ut I do know thit there was no
stoppage of telegraphic communication or
any Impeding of traffic on the road for a
single minute. Furthermore, we who are
connected with the offices of "the road in
Chicago had advices during the day that
the grievances long agitated by the teleg
raphers had been settled. None of the
road's operators at any point east of Al
buquerque were Involved. From Albu
querque west to San Francisco only 200
or 300 operators are employed."
According to reports current during the
day, the grievances of the telegraphers
on the Western section of the road were
likely to Involve In a sympatheUc strike
the entire 110Q telegraphers and the whole
traffic of the line, which is the longest
railroad system in the world. The de
mand was for eight hours of consecutive
rest and wages of from $50 to 355. a
month, to equalize with the pay said to
be obtained by telegraphers on the paral
lel system of the Southern Pacific Com
pany. Cause of the Trouble.
DENVER, Nov. 13. Regarding the brief
telegraphers' strike on the Santa Fe Rail
way today, a special from Albuquerque to
the Rocky Mountain News says:
The trouble arose over the claim- made
by the operators on the newly opened
San Joequln Valley road to receive the
same schedule of wages paid on the other
Western divisions of the Santa Fe system.
The matter was first taken to General
Manager W. G. Nevin. who in tura re
ferred it to Mr. Barr. As a result of the
concession, the operators concerned will
receive about 20 per cent more salary.
INDIANA METERS STRIKE.
Indications Are It "Will Be Settled
In ts. Few Davys.
TERRE HAUTE Ind., Nov. 13. The
I strike of tho 'hoisting engineers in the
Indiana coal fields which was declared
Monday may be settled in a few days.
Today 10 of the Indiana operators, signed
the Illinois scale for one year. The sign
ing of the scale means an eight-hour day
and 20 per cent Increase In wages. Eight
of the operators 'who signed the new scale
operate mines In too Evansville district.
There is a possibility of united action on
the part of the block and bituminous op
erators to sign the scale at a confer
ence to be held the last of the week. All
of the znjnes with the exception of three
er four were closed, and there seems to bo
do inclination, on the part of the miners
to go to "work until the engineers are
granted their demands.

THE OLD MAN'S SON.
Hard Times for the Rich Tonnsr Men
Who Wonld Mnlce Reputations.
Saturday Evening Post.
The way of that rich young man who
would be something more than "The Old
Mon'e Son" ifl hard. The world has grown
used to seeing second generation dissipate
in weakness what the first accumulated
In strength. For under the shadow of a
giant fortune, those elemental qualities of
character whjch are developed and knot
ted bard by a free and unsheltered strug
gle with the world grow soft and sappy.
Oftener than not, ability hi transmitted
from father to son, but raw ability is not
enough. Untrained, untried, undirected In
a struggle for advancement, it may be
an element of weakness instead of
strength. So, though the world has noth
ing but respect for the "old man's" pock
etbook, of the son It Is not so sure. Hon
ors may be his for the asking, but they
are sham honors; valueless because un
earned; neither satisfying him nor deceiv
ing the public; lacking the salt that gives
them savor; making him look beside the
old man who holds them by right of con
quest like a gold-laced General of militia
beside the .scarred eld Colonel who has
sabred his way up from the ranks.
When young Vanderbllt, by all accounts
an earnest and on ambitious young man,
went as a delegate to a recent political
convention, he became a Congressional
possibility within 24 hours, and there was
no yellow Journal but did him the rever
ence of a "front-page story." Yet all that
wnfl not recotmitlon of transcendent
'genius in young Vanderbllt himself, but
tribute to ."The Old Man's Son." Not
until he has been tried out in his ward
and on the stump, and has borne out
the promise of earnestness, will he become
a "front-page story" for a better reason.
Any young man whoce father left him a
sufficient number of stack certificates can
be elected director in half a dosen com
panies, but the world will say "pull"; or
he may Bven go to Congress and It will
cry "barrel." He mU3t demonstrate his
ability again and again before, he can se
cure recognition for his individuality.

HIS INTERVIEW WITH TWAIN
Hovr Green Reporter and Humorist
Turned Tables on Nlcht Editor.
"I see that Mark Twain has returned
after his long absence abroad," remarked
an old "reporter to a fellqw-wrlter on the
New Orleans Times-Democrat, "but I am
sorry to no'te that he has changed his
mind about coming South to lecture. I
hoped to have a chance to interview him,
and Incidentally to thank him again for a
big favor ho did me a good many years
ago. It was rather an odd experience,"
the old, reporter went on. "I was young
and green at the time, and had Just se
cured a 'trial Job' on a newspaper at Ie
trolt when Mr. Clemens came to the city
to deliver a lecture. It so happened that
all our best reporters were off that night
on a local murder sensation, and the city
editor called me up, very reluctantly, as
I thought, and assigned me to have a
talk with the great humorist. I had
stepped out of the office, but wtu still
within earshot, when the night editor
came in. "Who have you got on the
Clemens interview? I heard him ask.
That new fellow,' the city editor replied.
'Oh. Lord!' said the night editor. That
brief remark filled mo with mingled emo
tions, in which wrath, mortification and
apprehension were present in about equal
quantities. But it also put me on my met
tle, and I determined to get that interview
or perish in the attempt. Tho city editor
had said that he warned something about
a column long, and very bright and
snappy,' and while I was waiting at the
hotel for Mr. Clemens to return from the
Opora-House where he was speaking, I
tried to frame In my mind a series of
suggestive questions. I can't say I was
particularly successful, and many a time
In after years I have thought of the folly,
not to say cruelty, of sending" Inexperi
enced boys on such errands and expecting
anything like results. However, that's
neither hero nor there. The fact la, I
writhed and sweat blood, and by the
time the night clerk tola me that Ulr.
'Clemens haa Just gone up on: the ele
vator I was In a condition bordering on
nervous prostration.
"I found the humorist standing be
fore the fireplace," continued the old re
porter, "smoking a briar pipe and at
tired in a suit of pajamas. His appearance-startled
me, for I didn't dream that
he had had time to undress,' and I prompt
ly lost my few remaining shreds of self
possession. All my questions flew out of
my brain like a scattering covey of quail,
and absolutely the only thing I could
think of asking him was how he liked
the town. He looked at me quizzically.
Considering that I arrived after dark,' he
drawled, 'and wis driven direct to the
theater, and then direct to the hotel, my
impressions are favorable. I think you
have a very good quality of nights in
Detroit,' he added, after a pause; 'fully
equal to the nights I have encountered
anywhere.' That was a capital lead, but
I was too badly rattled to take it. I
stumbled through a few idiotic common
places, and realizing, evidently, that there
was no use wasting any more fun on such
a chump, he answered in weary monosyl
lables. In a few moments I gave up In
despair. Now, don't make too much of
this,' he remarked, as I started for the
door, while the caution was no doubt
prompted by fear that I would write
somethlnK ahenomenally stupid, it had
the effect of putting me suddenly at my
ease. 'Don't worry about that, air. dem
ons,' I replied; 'I'm not going te write
anything at all except my resignation.'
And thereupon I told him briefly the story
of my assignment. As I had by that time
fully determined to throw up my Job,
and was no longer apprehensive, I sup
pose I told it easily and naturally. At
any rate, his eyes twinkled, and when I
came to the part about the night editor
he threw back his head and roared with
laughter. 'Hold on,' he exclaimed, when
he caught his breath. "We'll have to turn
the tables on that fellow, sure. Just sit
down there with your paper, and I'll see
whether I can't dictate something.' I
obeyed In a sort of a daze, and he began
striding up and down the room, puffing
his pipe and running his fingers turough
his bushy hair. In half an hour he had
given me a column monologue about his
experiences on the train coming in. The
road was a notoriously ramshackle af
fair, and he 'roasted' it in his happiest
vein. 'Now, you mu3t cut that up into
paragraphs,' he said, when he got
through, 'and sling in a few questions
here and there to make It look dlalogy.
Then I think you'll have about what you
want. Tell those other fellows, as you
go out, that I have gone to bed. Those
'other fellows' were two reporters from
rival sheets, who had sent up their cards
and were then cooling their heels In the
corridor. I tried to thank him, but ho
cut me short, and I went away walking
on ambient air. When I turned in my,
copy the city editor nearly fell out of his
chair. His astonishment pleased me more
than a raise in salary, but I was a little
disappointed in the demeanerof the night
editor. I expected he would look shamed
and remorseful, but he didn't. He merely
remarked that 'appearances were d d
deceptive,' which I took as unkind."
"Did you ever tell them how you got
the story?" asked one of the younger
menwho had been listening.
"No," replied the older reporter, "I
never told. I let concealment, like the

There may be a temporary success

Philadelphia News, Ind.
If the Democratic party Is again to
command the respect and confidence of a
majority of the people It must urge itself
of Bryanlsm. Mr. Bryan has had two
fair hearings, and that should be enough.
Hundreds of thousands of Democrats
voted against him yesterday, as they did
four years ago, because they are con
vinced that he is not a Democrat. When
tho party trailed off after Populism four
years ago it invited the disasters which
have since overwhelmed It. We ask theso
Democrats who have, for one reason or
another, stayed in the regular organiza

have sacrificed enough to Mr.Bryan?
