THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1901. THE KAISER AT BONN MATRIGTJLATTOX OP CROWJf PRINCE FREDERICK WILLIAM. The Emperor' a Speech to the Stu dents of the University-Other Foreign News - BONN. April 24. Emperor , "William and Crown Pnnce Frederick William .arrived here this morning to attend the Crown Prince's matriculation 4at the university. They drove to the Schaumberg jdace amid the cheers of the populace and'the ringing- of the church bells. Professor Lavallete welcomed the Emperor and re Terred to the years His Majesty spent at Bonn and the brilliancy with which he had fulfilled the bright hopes ol which he had given promise as a youth. ThAe strong arm of the Emperor, he said, se cured Germany's frontiers, and the Ger man flag waved over all the seas. Art, science, trade and commerce flourished under the wise protection of their genial Emperor. Just as the Emperor, as a student, had. won the .hearts of all, so would the Crown Prince soon learn how truly and warmly all hearts beat in uni son with his. The Crown Prince then entered his name upon the register, and the rector grasped his hahd'and greeted him as the youngest member of the university, at the same time expressing the wish that he, like Tils father,, would unite serious duty ..with the. buoyant spirits of youth. The reqtor concluded with calling for Tiochs for the Emperor, which, were vigorously given. The Emperor shook hands with the rec tor and greeted several other persons. His Majesty, the Crown Prince and the suite subsequently joined in a proces sion to the gate of the TJniversity, and left amid the hochs of the townspeople and. students. . , . At the grandlkammer given tonight in his honor. Emperor '"William spoke as follows: "For you, my dear young comrades, it is needless to dwell upon the feelings that stir my heart upon finding myself in dear Bonn agajn and among its students. There unrolls before my mind's eye a splendid and 'glittering picture, full of the sun shine of my happy contentment, which filled the period of my stay here. There was Joy in my life, joy in people, young and old; and, above all, joy in.the young German Empire, which was then just gathering strength. The wish that fills my heart at the present moment, above all else, is that, as happy a student's time may be granted my dear son as once was mine. And how -could that well be other wise in this beautiful town of Bonn, so accustomed to the doings of buoyant youths. It is as if it were created for them by Nature. May the Crown Prince find here memories of bis illustrious great grandfather, whose kindly eye lighted up whenever the name of Bonn was men tioned; of his grandfather, the noble Prince Consort and life companion of that glorified and queenly woman, who ever strove for peaceful and friendly relations between her people and ours, who indeed are both of Germanic stock, and of so many other noble friends who here pre pared for their later careers. But, again, Bonn lies on the Rhine, and there grow our vines; there even the old castles and the town speak of the past, and there is Father Rhine, with his enchantment. These must all influence the Crown Prince and yourselves, and when th goblet gaily passes and the merry song resounds, then must your spirits, full of that happy mo ment, rejoice as befits buoyant German youths. May the source whence you draw that joy be pure as the golden sap of the vine and deep and enduring as Father Rhine. ""When we look around the sunny Rhine land our history Tlses before us in tan gible form. You must rejoice at being young Germans as you traverse the coun try from Alx-la-Chappelle to Mayence, that is from Charlemagne to Germany's time of splendor under Barbarossa. But why did all that splendor come to naught? Because the old empire was not founded upon a strong national basis. The uni versal idea of the old Roman kingdom did not permit the German Nation to develop in the German national sense, therefore Barbarogsa's splendor had to fade and the existence of the old empire, had to cease, because it was hindered by Its unl versallsm from crystallizing into a na tion, and it developed instead into a num ber of strong principalities, which fur nlshed the new groundwork for the new structure of state. These coming into conflict with the Emperor and the em pire, internal peace was lost to the ever weakening empire. Unfortunately, above this phase of development of the German people must be written the portentous words of Tacitus, who knew Germany bo well, 'Propter invldlum." "The Princes envied the Emperors their power as -they once did Armlnius, In spite -of his -victory. The nobility envied the towns which bad become rich, and the peasantry envied the nobility. "What un happy results and heavy misfortunes has our dear, beautiful Germany suffered propter Invidlum. The banks of the Rhine can tell you something of that." Then, turning to the task given Emperor "William to weld the nation together, the Emperor continued: "The empire now stands before you. May joy an4 gijatgrffl delight fill you and may nrm-and manly resolve keep your hearts aglow. "Work for Germanla. The fu ture awaits you, and will need your strength, not to squander in cosmopolitan dreams or one-sided party tendencies, but to foster the stability of nation thought and Ideals which the -German race, by God's grace, has been permitted to bring forth from Boniface and Walter von Der vogelweide to Goethe and Schiller. They have become a light and blessing to all mankind. They were ""universal,' but were nevertheless in themselves strictly Germans. We need such men now more than ever. May you all strive to become such men. But how shall that be pos sible? Who shall "helpr you? Only one; he whose name we all bear, who has borne our sins and washed them awaj who lived for our example and worked as we should work. May our Lord and Savior plant in you moral earnestness that your Impulses may ever be purer and your aims ever sublime. Then you will be armed against all temptations, and. above all, against vanity and envy. Then you can sing and say: -"Wlr Deutschen furch ten Gott, sonst nichts auf dleser Welt' (Wo Germans fear God, but nothing else In the world.) Then we shall endure in the world, strong, spreading civilization, and I shall close my eyes in peace. If I see such a generation growing up and rallied around my son, then, 'Deutsch land, Deutschland, ueber alles.' (Ger many, Germany, above all.) In this as surance I cry: 'Long live the University of Bonn.' " The toast was drunk amid prolonged ap plause. PASSED ITS SECOND READING. Deceased WifeVt Sister Bill in the House of Commons. LONDON, April 24. The House of Com mons today debated the deceased wife's sister bill. When the bill last reached Its second-reading stage in the House of Pommons in 1S91 it was carried by 202 to 155 votes. In 0S96 It passed its third read ing in the House of Lords by 142 to 104 votes, but it was afterward blocked in the House of Commons. Sir William Guer don, Liberal, in moving the second read ing today, urged In support of his motion that such marriages were permitted throughout the United States. The oppon ents of the bill asserted that It was in troduced only in the interest of certain rich and Influential people who had brok en the law and desired to be whitewashed. The women of T.rnvx t-- 0r the measure, as they considered It would be destructive cf the framework of civili zation. Closure was voted and the bill passed its second reading by a vote of 279 to 122. Slave Trade Broken Up. LONDON, April 2A Brigadier-General Sir Frederick Ludgard, high" commission! er and Commander-in-Chief of Northern Nigeria, and Colonel G. V. Kemball, with a force of West African frontier troops, have, completed a successful campaign against the powerful slave-raiding Emirs of BIda and Kontagora, in Northern Ni geria. The British defeated the Emir of Kontagora after heavy fighting, 5000 na--tlves 'frequently charging the British square. The British captured the capi tals of 6oth Blda and Kontagora and re leased thousands of slaves. The Emirs liave been the terror of the country for years, killing thousands of natives during the past year. They are now entirely powerless and this was brought about without the af-sistance of white troops. News has reached here of a severe bat tle in the vicinity of Fort Darwin, Ma shonaland. between a force of Charterland police and .natives from Chlntlzl under the outlaw, Mapondara. Sixty of the outlaws were killed. Boer Agents Inoculated Horses. LONDON, April 25.

The London dispatch, received tonight, charging that Boer sympathizers or muleteers, had in oculated with glanders the animals being shipped from this port to Cape Town, was shown to the British officers and elicited the statement that they had never heard of the story before. They added they do not believe there is anything in it. DcIcasHe In St. Petersburg:. ST. PETERSBURG, April 24. M.

The Chicago League team of the Illinois Bowling As sociation established a new world's record tonight Its score was an average of 993 OBJECTED TO HIS FAMILY MOTIVE OF THE MURDER AT CHAR TRES, FRANCE. Brlere, "Who Wanted to Morrr "Widow, Was Rejected on Account of His Children. ' CHARTRES, France, April 24. The bodies of the five murdered children of the farmer, Brlere, who were killed April 24, were Interred this afternoon In a com mon grave. The bishop of Chartres, the municipal officers, the entire population of the village" where the crime was com mitted, and numbers of strangers fol lowed the- biers- Brlere, who claimed the murders were committed by two tramps, but who Is suspected of having slain the children himself in a flt of drunken mad ness,' has not" yet confesse'd,but the au thorities are satisfied that he Is the mur derer. One of the most conclusive evi dences of his guilt was discovered by pure accident He planned and carried out the crime in the most cold-blooded manner and upset the furniture to con vey the idea that the alleged murderers had ransacked the house for booty, but in overturning a drawer he overturned a bottle of ink and the -doctor in dress ing his wounds found his finger tips stained with ink. The motive of the mur der appears to be that Brlerewanted to marry a wjdow who had rejected him on account of his large family. The crime has caused a tremendous sensation thioughout France. " TREATMENT OF CAPE DUTCH. Afrikander Protests Against British Methods. LONDON, April 24. J. X. Merrlman, ex-Treasurer of Cape Colony, and now a representative of the Afrlkanderbund In England, speaking at a meeting of the League of Liberals today against aggres sion and militarism, said military law, the abnegation of all law, was established In Cape Colony. The newspapers had not heard of the treachery and espionage go ing on. Respectable people were com mitted upon the evidence of natives alone. They were brought up and fined for harm less observations, called seditious, and the town guards harried them. These things created greater Irritation and In dignation than actual violence. The press was deliberately stopped and four editors had been sent to jail. The fruits of' this policy would be bitter as the memory of these Insults burned lri the hearts of the people. Mr. Merrlman de tailed Instances of punishment of the Dutch under military law, and said this policy, If persisted In, would surely -lose South Africa to the British Empire. The only thing that could save It was recog nition that the people wanted self-government and were determined to have It. J. W. Mauer, the ex-commlssloner of the public works of Cape Colony, said tho camps in which the Boer women and children were kept were guarded by sen tries with' loaded rifles and fixed bayonets. Resolutions opposing annexation and crown government were adopted. Bresci Has Gone Mad. PARIS. April 24.

Under the influence of midsummer weather, with the .tem perature above 70 and the sky cloudless, the scenes in London this morning closely resembled Derby day. From an early hour a string of vehicles, from the cos ter's donkey barrow to the four-ln-hand, passed, bound for Epsom.

RAT PORTAGE, Ont, April 2i.-Jake Qaudaur, the oarsman, offers to row any man in the world for the championship and a bet of $2500 a side three miles with a turn, at Rat Portage, between August 16 and 20,, Townes, the Englishman, or Rumohr preferred. Gaudaur has depos ited $500 in the Imperial Bank as an evi dence of good faith. la It on Americanism? , New York Times. With, so many things of real moment to worry them, It is more than a little strange that the London papers and their readers should find so. much time as they do for complaining about their own adop tion of American methods, journalistic and other, and about their own use of wards and phrases which they regard incorrect ly, for the most part as "Americanisms." We find, for instance, in the London News a long and lugubrious paragraph, begin ning "One effect of American journalism out of many which surround us is the use of $he word 'claim' In 'the sense of 'as sert' " Then somebody, described as a "patriotic correspondent," Is quoted ap provingly as protesting against "this mon strous perversion" and declaring It to be a double crime, Inasmuch as "claim" is a transitive verb, requiring a direct object.' and cannot be employed In demanding for one's self a truth about another person' or things, as Is done In sentences like, "He claimed that Lord Salisbury was a great statesman." Now this argument Is neither very clear nor very convincing, but, of course, there really Is some excuse for criticising the substitution of "claim" for "assert," or "demand assent to." What, however. Is the excuse for calling the sub stitution an Americanism? All our diction aries condemn it with as much severity as it deserves, one, for example, saying that by many it is considered inelegant, and another that It is loose and colloquial. Whether or not more Americans than Englishmen extend the significance of the word unduly is a question we would not undertake to decide. No doubt some of us do, and no doubt some of us do not Tne British complainants can say no more and no less than that, and yet they yam mer loudly about "the trail of the trans atlantic" over their oobks and papers and conversation! "We seem," moans the London .News' correspondent, "in many 'quarters to be adopting the language as well as the style of American journalism; neither the one-nor-the other Is admir able. We sbould be teachers, not pupils." And the News adds: "If we cannot hope tp be the one, we can refuse to be the other:" Now, If they "can refuse to be the other," and don't do it, whose fault is it?, The King of Italy has sent, as. a pres ent to the Sultari a portrait In oils of the late King Humbert and a portrait of hlm' self. .V- MORE THAN EXPECTED RISE OF THE OHIO AT CINCINNATI ' WILL EXCEED 58 FEET. Losses Will Be Greater Than Were at First Looked For The Out look Not Encouraging;. CINCINNATI, April 21. The flood out look in the Middle Ohio Valley Is not as encouraging tonight as expected. It is .. evident now that when the limit is reached it will be stationary for some time, and the fall much slower than was anticipated,' even if there shall be no sec ond rise. This is attributed to rising waters in the Big Sandy, Muskingum and other tributaries above Cincinnati. All sorts of reports come from Cattlettsburg tonight about rains In the Cumberland Mountains of Northeastern Kentucky and from Huntington, about heavy rains to night in the southern and eastern parts of West Virginia. At botn places, as well as at Ashlad, Ironton, Portsmouth snd intermediate points, there Is much un easiness reported tonight, and at some places they are preparing for the worst The Weather Bureau map tonight shows rains prevailing In the East that may move westward into the Alleghenies and Btart another flood In Ohio, whose lower tributaries began rising tonight. It is evident that the 58-foot mark which business men and manufacturers along the river front have been preparing for will be exceeded by the flood tomorrow, and losses In consequence will be much greater than at first looked for. At 6 P. M. the stage of the Ohio River was 57.5 feet. The present rate of rise Is only half an Inch an hour, but this will bring the river to the 58-foot mark by midnight, ahd by tomorrow afternoon, the earliest the river Is expected to become station ary, the flood is expected to show a depth of 58 5 feet This will drive many fami lies from their homes along the Ohio on the south, along Mill Creek on the west and along the Little Miami on the east, and will bring heavy losses to manufac turing Arms who have prepared for but 58 feet of water. Tonight everyone In the districts affected by the high water is moving goods to places of safety. On the Kentucky side the Interruption to mills, factories and business is not so great, but in proportion to the popu lation many more have been driven -from their homes than on the Ohio side. In the Taylor bottoms, between Newport and Louisville, Ky., the water is np to the tree tops, and street car lines are compelled to transfer passengers from Bellevue to Dayton, Ky. The latter place Is largely inundated. It is estimated that about a square mile of Newport Is In undated. The races at Newport track are proceeding and will continue under sloppy conditions. Boats are used In reaching the track. In Covington, Ky., the John Brenner brewery has suffered great loss by backwater, and some fam ilies In that locality have Deen driven from their homes. In the suburb of Bromley, Ky., the Pleasant Run bridge and the toll-gate at one end of the bridge were swept away. The Ludlow lagoon, a Summer resort on the Kentucky side. Is under water. Coney Island, another Summer resort on the Ohio side east of Cincinnati, is also under water, as are Chester Park and the lager beer gar dens on the West Side. Mayor FlelSchmann, Police Chief Dellsch and other Cincinnati ocia!s made another tour of the flooded dis tricts today, arranging for any neces sary relief and all possible protection. Fire engines nd hose carts have been placed on -fiatboats ready for nny emer gency, and the police have patrol boats. The only loss of. life reported so far ha3 bpen from accidents. One man fell off a boat today and was drowned, and an other off a log raft near the public land ing. At New Richmond, O., a Summer resort, about 50 families were driven out of their7 homes today. At Huntington, W. Va., the river reg istered 47.2 feet at 6 o'clock and was still rising and rain was falling in sheets. The small streams are booming tonight and It appears the crisis Is yet to come at that place. At Ironton, O., the stage was 58.5 feet at 6 o'clock, and a heavy rain was falling. Over 100 families had to moye from West Ironton today. All merchants on Center street, the business street in Ironton, had lo move. The Danprer Line nt Loulftvllle. LOUISVILLE, April 24. The Ohio reached the danger line 28 feet here tonight, and at 6 o'clock was rising an inch an hour. The river is expected to reach 30 to 31 feet. The water has reached the business houses at the foot of Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh streets. CADETS TO ANNAPOLIS. Congressmen's Selection of Examin ation Date Handicaps Many. WASHINGTON, April 19. The authori ties at the Annapolis Naval Academy have recently called attention to a general misunderstanding on the part of Congress men who are appointing cadets to the academy, which results, In many cases, In an unnecessary hardship to the ap pointees. In each Congressional district where an appointment is to be made to the Naval Academy, the department has notified the Congressman that he should name his candidate and alternate for the entrance examinations to be held at An napolis May 15 or September 1. It is left to the members to select either of these dates, and naturally It would be supposed that the latter date generally would be chosen. On the contrary, May 15 seems to be the popular day, and most of the can didates are being named for that date. There Is a vast ground to be covered In the entrance examinations, and a young man, unless he Is fresh from colleges where he has kept In touch with the va ried subjects, needs considerable time to brush up. Those examinations are Intend ed to find out just what the respective candidates know, and are anything but easy, even for the cleverest of scholars. When the early date Is selected, there fore, the candidates have but a short time for preparation, and this fact, as much as anything else, accounts for a large number of the failures, and the ulti mate appointments of the alternates. There Is little question but what an In judicious selection of date of examination works a hardship on large numbers of ca dets who expect to enter the Naval Acad emy. It would naturally be supposed that members of Congress would give their ap pointees every advantage of time, so that they might pass their examinations with the best possible ratings. There is a -vacancy to be filled from the Second Oregon District at the Naval Ac ademy this Fall. It was Representative Moody's Intention, when he left Washing ton, to have his candidate examined on the latter day, September 1. He will, as usual, make his selection by competitive examination, to be held In Portland, prob ably In June. This preliminary exami nation will determine which one of the many aspirants shall receive the appoint ment, the one coming out second being appointed as alternate, and will be al lowed to take the academy examination in event the regular appointee falls to qualify. The competitive examination to be held In Portland will cover practically the same ground as that to be given at the academy, and Is Intended, so Mr. Moody says, to determine just what the several candidates know, and which one is best qualified to pass the subsequent examination.

A Tree That Fixes the Sue Sands. New York Sun. One of the problems which has given the management of Suez Canal much trouble is that of the sand that blows into it, adding to the dredging expenses. .A con siderable number of plants have been tried in the effort to flx the sands so that a comparatively small quantity would be blown Into the canal. All of these plants have failed except one, which, It Is now believed, will be quite effective In keep ing tho sand In place. This large plant is the casuarlna tree.
