Berlin, Sept 20. The kaleer la In a
dilemma. Within a few days he muet
decide whether to give up. at least In
part, the treat military fall maneuver
or oause the farmers of Germany to
lose pat of their crop.
The oold and wet eummer, the arrival
of whloh was delayed until the begin
ning of July, hae delayed the harvest
everywhere, and If the military maneu
vers are to be held as usual they will
deprive the farmers of thousands of
'men at the very time they are most
needed to .harvest the not very large
crops. .
From all parts of the country come
petitions to the government kin -mat
the maneuvers be given up. or at least
postponed, or thousands or farmers will
be ruined, but so far the kaiser remains
unaeciaea.
It le thoue-ht that he will, however,
follow the example of hla northerly
neighbor, King Frederick VHI of Den
mark, who for the same reasons has
canceled the Danish military maneuvera
during this month.
I am informed br Mr. Ballln. presl

that th reDort cabled from here to

That the company contemplated running
a new line of steamers from Stettin via
Copenhagen to New York, has no roun
dstlon in fact.
The experiment was tried some years
ago, but failed berauae of the hatred of
lermanv in tne Scandinavian countries
and the opposition of the Daman gov
ernment, that would not allow the Hamburg-American
line to carry Danish

The discovery of Immensely rich gold
fields In the Ural mountains may help
Russia out of the financial distress.
The gold fields were discovered by an
Orenburg merchant, Orekhoff, who Im
mediately notified the government at
8t. Petersburg, and was granted per
mission to mine such parts of the field
as are on private property on the con
dition that he aell all gold found to the
Imperial mint at a fixed very low price,
the government to aupply convicts to
do the work.
Several hundred acres of the fields,
however, are situated on atate land,
and the auarts Is very rich In the pre
vious metal. Many are the millions of
rubles which will flow into the Imperial
treasury at practically no cost; that is.
If it does not disappear on the way Into
the capacious pockets of grand dukea
and other officials.
A booklet with the Initials "C. R."
(Constantlne Romanoff), from the pen
of the Imperial poet. Grand Duke Con
a tan tine, has appeared. It Is entitled
"Aphorisms," ana contains some pun-
&ent criticisms of Kusalan civilisation,
ome of it is In verse.
According to "C. R.," Russians are
never happy. "A Russian." aays the
grand duke, "has only one Idea of happi
ness; that is, to admire enviously tne
happiness of others."
''in Russia clever men lack faith;
fools "nave it superabundantly. Hence
the clever men remain at the bottom;
elsewhere they rise to the top."
VBureaucracy Is a very good machine
If It la run by a very good engineer; our
machine is all right on paper nut the

The owners of several Polish news
papers have begun an action against
the reactionary Viedoraostl of Moscow
for printing Invented quotatlona from
their editions.
The Poles are In a position to prove
that the Vledomost! and other retro
grade newspapers systematically use
falsified quotatlona from non-Russian
newspapers in order to encoursgo the
government In Its repressive policy.
One Moscow newspaper DUtillflned a
'quotation from the Warsaw Press
calling upon the Poles to "rise and
slaughter every Russian In the city."
No such Incitement was or could be
printed, but It was made the text of a
fierce reactionary outburst against the
Poles.
A similar campaign is being carried on
against the Finns. Pamphlets are being
sold in St. Petersburg containing trea
sonable but wholly imaginary quotations
from the Helslngfors press. One
pamphlet contains an attack UDOn the

GOT SANTA ANA'S LEG.
Man Who Captured It in Mexican
War Tells How He Did It.

JAPS HAVE WAY
OF GETTING IN
Government Knows That
the Immigration Laws
Are Being Evaded.
The man who captured General
Santa Ana's cork leg. the most Inter
esting relic of the Mexican war, is still
living. He Is Edwin Elvln Elliot, now
living at San Rafael, California. From
Mr. Elliot comes the first authentio ac
count of the capture, says the Mexican
Herald.
In the course of his narrative Mr.
Elliot describes the scene when the
Mexican batteries were attacked by the
American troops charging across the
open plain. The Fourth Illinois ad
vanced rapidly to tne jaiapa road, in
which stood tne luxurious and Rally
oaparlsoned coach of General Santa Ana
harnessed and ready to leave. This
coach, however, had been rendered un
serviceable by the artillery fire, one of
the mules naviner Deen Killed. Tne sad
dle mule on which an outrider usually
rode was being cut out of the harness
aa the American troops came up. The
latter noticed the Mexicans mounting an
officer upon this mule, but they did
not know until later that this officer
was no less a personage than Santa
Ana himself.
Companies B and II charged down
the hill, and Private Edwin Elliot was
the first soldier to reach the carriage.
He lumped inside and secured the cork
leg of the general and passed it out to
mo w'u'1"" ....... .
It was sent to ths rear as a rjnxe or
war, and eventually was placed m Me
morial hall, at Springfield. Illinois,
where It Is yet on exhibition.
Elliot also found a basket of lunch,
consisting mostly of chicken, which had
been put up for the general. The food
was quickly devoured by the hungry
soldiers. Continuing his search, Elliot
found a bag of gold under the seat.
Tho coin was kept under guard until
an aid of General Twiggs camp came
up, when it was turned over to the
commander-in-chief as a prlxe of the
fovernment The sack contained In all
10.000.
Mr. Elliot's regiment, the Fourth Illi
nois, saw much hard service In the err
sulng month, but the war ended in Sep
tember, 1847, and the soldiers were
mustered out In the following year. The
capture Of the leg was produotlve of
much merriment at the time, and many
accounts of the Incident have been
published, but the story of the man
who secured the leg la probably the only
authentio account.
(Special Dispatch to The Jonrstl.)
Washington. Sept. 20. According te
officials of the immigration bureau ol
the department of commerce and labor,
Japanese Immigrants have found a way
ta evade the new immigration law
passed by the last congress, which re
quires all Japanese laborers to have
passports to the United States before
Demg given permmNion to peenmo per
manent residents here.
As Is well known, many Japanese who
failed to get the passports have recent
ly arrived In Mexico and Canada.
There Is now a demand for permis
sion for large numbers' of Japanese to
pass through theUnlted States In bond
from Canada towjexlco and vice versa.
Within the last few weeks, 499 Jap
anese have entered the United States
under these present conditions, 350 of
whom have failed to present themselves
at their respective destinations, al
though they have had ample time to do
so. The remaining 149 have either
showed up or have been captured and
deported. Large numbers of veterans
of the Russo-Japanese war continue to
seek admission to the united mates.
It Is reported that recently out of 71
Japanese denied admission on the Pa
clflo coast, because of failure to have
necessary passports, 81 were former
privates, and 12 former officers of the
Japanese army In the late war.

There are thousands, both men and

as a result we have an age of indiges

St. Louis, Sept. 20. Around the pe
riod of October 21, the eyes of the en
tire aeronautic world will be turned In
the direction of St. Louis. That date
marks the oDeninar of a week Of the
greatest aerial competitions ever held in
this or any other country, i ne carnival
will be international in character, the
various contests being open to the
world: and the results will be keenly
watched bv every civilized govern
ment, as well as by the leading scien
tists at all nations. People from every
quarter of the globe will assemble In
St. Louis to witness the events.
The ononlnr day. Monday, October 21,
will be marked by the start from the
metropolis of the Mississippi valley of
the contest for the James Gordon Ben
nett International aeronautic cup. This
cup is emblematlo of what might be
termed tne Danoon racing cnampion-
shlD of the world. It Is valued at
$2,600, and was donated by James
Gordon Bennett, proprietor of the New
York Herald, to be competed for under
the auspices of the International Aeron-
nautic federation, composed of aero
clubs representing nearly all the leading
countries. In order to become the prop
erty of any one aero club it must be suc
cessfully defended by It for five con
secutive years against all challenges
received from the aero clubs of other
nntlons. .
The first contest for the euo took
glace In Paris, Franca, September, HOC,
and was won by Lieutenant Frank P.
Lahm of the United States army, one
of the representatives of the Aero club
of America. This gave temporary pos
session of the cup to the Aero club of
America and Drought it to this country,
where the other nations who challenge
for It are required to come, the rules
stipulating that the competition must be
held in the country which holds the
trophy.
Challenges for the cup have been re
ceived from the aero clubs representing
France, Germany, the United Kingdom,
Spain and Italy. No country Is allowed
to have more than three contestants In
the race and each of these five nations
has made three entries. The Italian en
tries, however, were received too late
and have been protested. Efforts are
being made to have the protest waived.
Should this be done, there will be 1
competitors In the race, including the
three entries of the United States,
Should, however, the Aero , club . of
France Insist on excluding the Italians;
there will be 15 entries In the event.
