as a common sailor on merchant ves

ago when he lost his life. ; Campbell,
who was born in 1871 and died In 1900
had an extraordinary career. At the age
of 8 he was taken to Italy by his
mother, i who afterwards became un

of chancery sent a representative 'i to
Italy, who discovered young Sir Claude
working in a slaughter house. He was
brought back to England.
When only 18 years old he went to
the United States and hecnine mw
toy on a western ranch, but after a few
years of it ha returned to this country
from - which he went to Africa and
shipped as a sailor. The Sutherland
shire, one of the vessels on which he
sailed., was wrecked off the coast of
Sumatra. 'Sir Claude, with two ap
prentices, volunteered to swim ashore
for help. In this gallant attempt he
and one of tha boys lot their lives. Sir

Should the Two P.cnarchs Meet
There Will Be Magnificent
Pageant.
By George Fraser.
(Pnbllsbws' Prew Lpaned Wire.)
St' Petersburg, Dec 8. The German
Raiser has, I understand, accepted the
Invitation of the czar, to vl?lt St
Petersburg next spring. If the kalspr
should visit the Russian capital he will
be magnificently received.
Evidence Is not" lacking that as a re-
suit of the recent meeting of the caar
and kaiser and of Sazonof f and Heir
von Bethman-Hollweg has. at least
cleared the atmosphere somewhat , so
far as the , Persian situation is con-
cerned. :''; ;;.".'.; ' .-':---
Novoye Vremya foreshadows a Russo-
Gorman convention providing , for a
Junction at Hanekln on the Persian
frontier, of, the Bagdad railway ,nd on
the projected Northern Persian rail
way system," to be constructed under
Russian auspices. , , .
Although welcoming the pacinc re
sult bf the discussions at Potsdam, the
Novoye Vremya is apprehensive as to
the eventual Invasion of Persian mar
kets by German goods, to the detriment
of Russian . commercial Interests. (- ;
M. Sazonof f is quoted as, saying "My
conversations with Herr von Beth mann
Hollweg and with Herr yon Kiderlen-
Waechter established the xuu conson
ance of ; the mutual interests ot we
two conntrlea No questions affecting
the stability of tbe Triple Entente were
raised. All the conversations were
baaed upon the assumption of Its ab
solute maintenance. For that matter,
no Russion minister could dream of
forswearing fhe alliance with' France
and the understanding .with England.
This is lully. understood -in .Germany,
There was not even an attempt to draw
Russia into the rival group. v
"The concrete questions discussed
dealt with the respective relations of
Russia and Germany; with Turkey and
Persia, . The German statesmen catego
rically repudiated any share whatsoever
in bringing about ; the change notice
able In Turkish policy towards Russia,
Regarding Persian matters, the discus
sion was confined to the Russian sphere
of Influence, as reference to the neutral
one,wonH have necessitated the pres
ence of British statesmen."
I understand ' that Germany recog
nizes the exclusive rights of Russia in
northern Persian and proclaims her
readiness to abstain from asking for
any concessions, such as railways, can
als, s telegraphs, mines, etc, but ex
presses a desire that Russia, in the
event of undertaking the construction
of a network of railways In northern
Persia -shall agree. In the interests of
Germany to link up the same with the
Bagdad line St Khananakln. This ques
tion will , be the subject of future dis
cu salon. .
Large numbers of more or less dls
tlnguished persons all over western Eu
rope, well intentioned enough, but III
lnformed on Russian international po
litics, continue in tha most extraordin
aryway to allow themselves to be made
the dupes of clever Finnlsh.ior rather,
Flnno-Swedish, agitators .abroad, and
persist m thrusting their advice upon
the representatives of the Russian peo
pie on behalf of political Finland which
is imnglned to be In the greatest
jeopardy. :,, ;-."',.;- s.? "i.
Notwithstanding the evident futility.
and despite all the severe rebuffs ad
ministered to previous meddlers on the
same iines during the last decade or
more, petitions continue to arrive. For
merly it. was the emperor and his gov.
eminent who .were badgered In this war.
snd now It Is the duma, which has the
disagreeable duty of dealing with such
petitions in exactly the same way as
tney were formerly doalt with by the
autocracy. , . ,
The latest example Is a lone and
much signed address - from certain
French senators and parllmentarv den
utlea, It has been Bent back to the

become ridiculous.

Decreesv That'
Shall Absent
No Mother
Herself From Her Children
More Than Five Months.
By Malcolm Clarke
Publishers' Prets Leased Wirt.j
Berlin, Dec S. The kaiser has laid
down a now rule Of conduct and it la
this: That no mother, especially a mem
ber of the royal family, has a right to
absent herself from her children for
five months. The crown prince desired
to tffke bis .wife with him oh his trip to
the east, but his father vetoed his plan
on the ground stated. It would not be
possible to take the children. ' ' .,
It Is said that during the coming year
the -king and queen of England ; will
Visit this" city. It Is understood that
their, majesties received an invitation
from the kaiser several weeks ago, and
that' a, favorable reply has been re
ceived. This visit will follow the coro
nation and will probably extend over a
weeic some time , in October Is re
garded, as most probaele, but this is a
detail that yet remains to be settled.
Under ; ordinary circumstances, the
kaiser would have paid them a visit bet-
fore the end of the present year, but be
was reluctant to intrude upon the Eng
lish court mourning, so that his origi
nal intention was abandoned. : There is
considerable - friendship between King
George and his Imperial cousin, and tbe
two exchange letters at regular inter
vals. Since it would be contrary to court
etiquette for the kaiser to attend King
George's coronation in person, be will
be represented bn the crowns prince,
who will be accompanied by tbe crown
princess, apartments - m Buckingham
palace being provided for their accom
modation, :
Tbe Kaiser's Mart .
Tha kaiser's dally mall numbers sev
eral hundred letters. Quite a percentage
come from boys whq write to him on
all sorts of subjects. And strange as it
may appear he , answers many, es
pecially those of a serious nature.
Soma time ago, a young Swiss lady
wrote to all the European sovereigns
asking for their autographs for her col
lection.. Later on, she v wrote to the
kaiser telling him, with many thanks.
that he was the onlymmonarch who had
acceded to her wish. . When kings write
personally to other sovereigns a great
deal of etiquette is observed. Some Idea
df the difficulties attending royal cor
respondence may be gathered from the
fact that the French government ap
pointed a commission to settle the cere
monial which should be observed by the
head of tha state, and one of the points
discussed was what form the president
should. use in addressing . foreign mon-
archs when writing to; them.
In writing to a president kings use
various terms,. Thus the czar addresses
the French president as "dear and hon
ored friend," and in replying the presi
dent usually employs the, term "Sire."

The Grand Duchess Sergius of Rus
sia has arrived at Darmstadt from Mos

visit the emperor and empress of Rus

Grand Duchess Elizabeth will go. hence
to Sweden, in order that she may visit

New York, Dec 8. Not content with
being the living .holder of the world's
altitude record, J. Armstrong Drexel,
Pittsburg's millionaire aviator," will
shortly go after the record of 9714 feet ;
made by 4he late Ralph Johnstone on ,
the last day of the recent meet at Bel- i
mont park. Dfexel's attempts against i
the record have consumed much of his '
time since his return to America three '
months ago. He held the American fee-
ord, for one day, as it was announced,
recently that he had broken the world's !
record at the Point Breeze meet by as
cending 9970 feet but an off iclal read-i
Ing of his barograph, made by the man
ufacturers of the Instrument, showed
that this was wrong. , , .
Read correctly, the instrument showed
that Drexel had ascended 94S0 feet This
Is the second highest flight ever made,
the record before Johnstone broke it be
ing 9188 feet made by Wyman in
France.
