Washington, June 18— Tliis state' ment was issued from an authoritative source yesterday: Berlin, June 17.— The emperor t o day received in audience the new American ambassador to Germany, David Jayne Hill, who succeeded Charlemagne Tow er. The audience was fixed several days before D r. Hill anticipated it, but the emperor's greeting was none the less hearty. The em peror’s master o f cere monies, Baron von de Knesbeck, called at {he hotel yesterday where Dr. Hill was stopping, and informed him that an audience with the em peror had been granted for today in the old palace, his majesty com ing in from Potsdam for the purpose. Three court carriages called for Dr. Hill today, and, accompanied by his staff, he proceeded to the palace. On his arrival there he received a mes sage from the emperor that the pre sentation would take place in the many people are under arrest besides garden which recently wqs planted in the leaders, Heinrich and Frankenthal. one o f the palace courts. The latter is a multi-millionaire, and it is some consolation to think that he will be able to make good the losses, T E S T C R U IS E R S . though this will not heal the wounded German pride.

Reflection over 'night has only strengthened the determination of the war secretary to insist upon the in clusion in the Republican party plat form of the anti-injunction plank on the lines o f thut telegraphed last pight. Therefore, a long telegram went for ward from the war department yester day to Frank Hitchcock, Mr. T a ft's Chicago manager, instructing him to insist upon the anti-injunction plank. M A L E V IT C H ’ S V IE W S APPROVED. New Ressian A m b a ssa d o r to T ok io Developing Peaceful Relations. Washington, June 13.— The admin istration officials unofficially have been made acquainted with the essen tial features o f an important intervi#w recently had by the representatives qj a M oscow newspaper with Mr. Ma- levsky Malevitch, recently appointed Russian ambassador to T okio, which touches upon Russia’s policy in the far east. The views expressed by the ambassador, it is said, meet with the hearty approval of the Russian fo r eign office. The tenor o f Malevsky Mafevitch’s observations are pleasing also to the administration, and to the diplomatic corps here, as it indicates a desire and intention on the part of the Russian government to develop the peaceful relations established with Japan. The Russian ambassador took the view that with the conclusion of the treaty of com m erce the fisheries convention entered into between Russia and Japan during the past year, the peaceful aims o f the policy of Russia with regard to Japan have definitely been established. C r o p s W orth Eight Million. G e r Berlin, June 15.— How m^ny millions has the German government been swindled out of by the recently dis covered embezzlements in the imperial shipyards at K ie lf No one dares even guess. How many of the vessel« built and equipped in the yards are to be found to belong to the same class as the battleships built in Russia with wooden pegs instead o f steel rivetsf No one knows yet, and no one prob ably ever will. The discovery that two high officials of the imperial shipyards, and possibly a number of others, have systematical ly been robbing the government for years has come as a terrible shock to the German people, who are proud of the p’roverbial honesty o f their gov ernment officials, and who have always contended that while fraud might be found in America and Russia, all Ger man government officers would always be found to come up to the Roosevelt standard, and be able to show a record as clean as a hound's tooth. It is impossible to find out at this time how many officials are implicated or suspected; the government even re fuses to let it become known how machinery o f the vessels, which have been now in com m ission for three years. _________ L IB ER IA A S K S FO R HELP.

Mr. W ashington declined to discuss the subject o f his interview, but it was learned that the representatives o f L i beria assert that England and France have encroached upon their domain and they wish the moral, if not the active, support o f the United States to maintain the integrity o f their ter ritory. ________ W ashington.

London, June 15.— Hundreds of poor mothers in London are deeply grateful to the Hon. Mrs. Bertrand Russell, who was formerly M rs. A . Pearsall Smith, o f Philadelphia, whose school for mothers in this city has proved great success. Mrs. Russell vcom- menced her ambitious scheme in a very small way— first there were nightly classes for mothers who were allowed to bring their children and who were instructed by Dr. Dora Bun ting how to properly feed and clothe their little ones. These classes imme diately became very popular, but Mrs. Russell, who was often present in per son, soon discovered that the mothers themselves were as poorly fed as their babies and to remedy this she changed the night classes to day classes and provided a substantial dinner at a price of 3 cents to those who could afford to pay, while those who could not were fed free of charge.

Rain in K aw Valley. San Francisco, June 16.—The annual struggle between the city and the cor porations has just com e to an end, with an unexpected victory for the municipality. The members of the board of supervisors, who represent the city in the negotiations with the corporations, are for the most part business * men and lawyers. It was thought that their sympathies would run naturally to the vested interests and that the local service companies, which suffered heavily in the earth quake and fire, would take advantage of the situation and make up from the public what they lost in the fire. That is exactly what the corporations tried to do. Th ey said so openly, and ar gued their right to do so, but a ma jority o f the board stood firm for the taxpayers, and the city witnessed a most encouraging example of com petent government. Pressure from every possible ave nue was brought to bear on the super visors to force them to yield to the de mands o f all the service companies for higher rates. The gas company want ed an increased rate, the water com pany threatened famine unless it should receive a 15 per cent advance in rates, the telephone company re sisted to the utmost, and the street railroad com pany ran cars without permits, seized franchises and at tempted to bottle up the traffic priv ileges on Market street, when the su pervisors stepped in and com pletely blocked the game. The gas com pany asked for an in crease from 85-cent to $1 gas. The board conducted an inquiry. The gas com pany promised to turns its books over to the supervisors for inspec tion. This, it afterward appeared, was a bluff, for when the supervisors asked for the records, the company refused to produce them until prac tically com pelled to do so. It was then discovered that improper charges had been made in figuring the cost of operation. The mask was pulled aside by the “ business” board and the gas com pany got an 85-cent rate. An investigation into telephone rates resulted in a general reduction o f from 15 to 25 per cent. The water rate was placed at the same figure as last year, with a slight increase in the allowance for hydrants. The trol ley franchises which the United Rail roads attempted to appropriate were withheld. Kansas City, June 13.— Unusually heavy rains fell yesterday in Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Iowa and the weather bureau predicts that the K aw and the Missouri rivers will ag&ia reach the high stage on Wednesday night. A t 5 p. in. the Missouri here had fallen .25 o f a foot, but had risen .1 of a foot at St. Joseph and continues to rise there. The K aw fell about six inches yesterday and was stationary last night. A t Topeka the K aw is rising rapidly. The weather bureau predicts that the new flood at Topeka w ill exceed that of Tuesday. A ll of the tributaries of the K aw are very high, and more rain is threatened. The crest o f the new flood here will be reached Sunday night. A heavy downpour yesterday morning caused some additional trou ble from flooded basements in the W est bottoms, where the sewers were unable to carry off the excess. N o further damage was experienced in the stock- yards, Argentine and Armourdaie, K a n sas, and in Harlem, M o., and none is expected. The stockyards are still idle and the packing-hoqses were unable to continue working even if they had stock. The railroads, on the other hand, were in better shape, but schedules were still disarranged. O IL T R U S T F O U N D G U IL T Y . R ochester Jury Brings in V erd ict in Rebate C a s e .

T a k e s Terrible R evenge. Venice, June 15.— A double tragedy recently took place in a traveling cir cus giving performances at the town of Mestre, a short distance from here. Among the performers were two acro bats. a man Rafaelli and his wife, Emma. A rich man about town had fallen in love with the latter and had begun a liaison with her. Accidental ly Rafaelli discovered his w ife ’s un faithfulness and planned a terrible re venge. While his wife was performing her dangerous acts in the flying * trapeze tinder the roof of the circus tent, Ra faelli suddenly cut the rope which held the trapeze, and the young woman fell down i*»*'* the sand of the arena, dying. Her lover rushed to her side, and while he was holding her head on his lap kneeling at her side, Rafaelli cleft his head from behind with an ax and then calmly surrendered to the police. __________________ S laughter o f Innocents. Paris, June 15.— Owing to the ex treme rigor of last winter and the willful destruction of song birds, France is threatened with the extinc tion of her larks, finches and thrushes. Professor Corcelle, of Chambery, has addressed an appeal to the public, warning them that if farmers, game keepers and poachers continue their conduct they will soon have extermi nated all the small birds in the coun try. As proof of the necessity for legislative measures he declares that thousands of larks are killed and sold at 6 cents a dozen. Seoul, June 16.— Y. Mimura, the Japanese resident governor of Seoul, appeared as the prosecutor o f E. T. Bethel, a British subject, who was to day arraigned in a British court ap pointed under order o f the privy council. Bethel is charged with spreading sedition by the medium of a newspaper published in the Corean vernacular, and of which he is the proprietor. The court includes Judge F. St. Bourne and Prosecuting Attor- n y W ilkinson, both o f whom were specially sent from Shanghai by the British government at the suggestion of Am bassador M cDonald at Tokio. The prosecution said that it would prove that the publications in Bethel’s vernacular newspaper was largely re sponsible for all the disturbances in Corea. M. Mimura asserted that the Corean governm ent exists only sub ject to the direction o f Japan. He further said he believed there were 20,000 troops now in Corea, and that half o f the country was disturbed. Consequently the publications were creating a false impression regarding the real intention of the Japanese g o v ernment, increasing the difficulties of the governm ent and causing much bloodshed. C. M. Cross, a lawyer of Kobe, who is defending Bethel, asked for a jury trial, which Judge St. Bourne refused. Pigeon M akes Long Flight. CANADA C L O SE S DOOR. All Japan ese Immigration is Shut O ff for O n e Y e a r. Vancouver, B. C., June 13.— The Ca nadian government has notified the government of Japan that the limit of immigrants allowed for one year has been reached and that no more Japan ese laborers can be sent te Canada be fore January 1 of next year. This is in accordance with the understanding reached between the Lanrier adminis tration and Tokio last January, which provided that not more than 400 each year should be sent. Six hundred and eight had come up to the end of May, and more are arriving by every boat. It looks like a barefaced evasion of the arrangement on the part of Japan. Japanese Consul Yada said tonight that even the 400 had not yet arrived, when the number o f tourists and stu dents was taken into consideration. A s a matter of fact, Canadian officials as sert, not more than 5 per cent o f the new arrivals are exempt from the ar rangement. M o re T rack W ash ed O ut. K A T O B IA U S X OF THE SOUL. < b l c a g o P h y s i c i a n s C o n d u c t In v sstft« ■ • tlo n s A lo n g I t r a s g # L in e s, Chicago physicians, with true. W indy City progress aud interval in that which la unusual, are now busily en gaged in conducting investigations con cerning the m aterialism o f the soul. Internea at tba County Hospital are watching day after day for soul ghosts, and in order to put the soul finding quest on ■ more system atic and scien tific basis county officials are to be pe titioned for permission to photograph death beds. It la proposed to take ■ series of negatives as lives o f patients at the County Hospital come to an end In hope that upon one delicately sensi tized plate trace of a departing soul may be recorded. Dr. Rose M. Reading, a prominent Chicago physician, aaya that on two occasions she has witnessed the depart ure of the soul from the body. In dis cussing tbese occurrences, Dr. Reading say s: “The first remarkable experience came to me In East Chicago about 18 years ago. I bad been called to attend a little child. T he baby w as 7 or 8 months old. Little could be done for It, and I knew It would die. I held it on my lap. “ Suddenly as I gazed at the baby a shape formed over Its little body and then rose about a foot from I t It was o f about the consistency of tobacco smoke. It stood still for a m om en t and then drifted up toward the corner of the room. Fascinated, I watched It, at the moment falling to appreciate what the phenomena meant. Then I looked at the child In my lap. It was dead. , I knew at once I had witnessed the departure of the soul from the body. “ The second Instance came about lb ears later. I and niy husband were t the death bed o f an old man In Chi cago. A bright light was burning In the corner of the room. The end drew near, and my husband and I watched closely. Aa death came the soul de parted In a vapory haze, rose toward the celling, and finally faded from sight. There is no questioning the tangibility or the m ateriality o f the shape that drifted aw ay from the body of the dying man. “The reason the soul Is not seen mors frequently Is because men and women s t death beds are always moved by unusual emotions and the brain never can see clearly through strong emo tion. -About the m ateriality o f the soul we know little, of course. It permeates the whole body. How it leaves the body we do not know. There was a time when they did not understand the circulation of the blood. Som e day we will know all about the circulation o f the aoul. ' "T h e study of the m aterialism ot the soul has to go forw ard slow ly and conservatively, of course, because peo ple are prone to ‘pooh, pooh’ discus sions o f It and laugh at contentions. But you remember there w as a day when they laughed at Fulton becauso be said he could steam up the Hudson River.” The T . r . r i - l 'p H iit s e h e . The German emperor Is generally re garded as the Inventor of the turned- up mustache. This Is true only as far as Introducing It as a fashion. It was Invented at the court o f Philip IV . about 1625. T hat monarch was the first to wear his mustache turned upward. From the Spanish court the fashion spread over all Europe. Charles I. o f England. Philip’s brother-in-law, and many members of the Austrian Haps- burgs adopted I t It came to Belgium and was Introduced Into Germ any by the Spanish soldiers during the 30 years’ war. It was also found In Sweden, as well s s In France under Louts X I I I . Under Louis X I V . the beard went out o f fash ion, and during the time o f Rococo the elegant world knew only clean shaven faces, until the French revolution brought the mustache again into use. But nowhere, except in its Spanish home, did the mustache rise so ex travagantly as It does to-day with the German emperor and his imitators. In Spain all kinds of artificial means, such as bandages and coverings, were employed to compel the mustache to keep this unnatural upward position, and In looking at the paintings o f Vel asquez or Murillo, one can easily under stand that without such coercive mea sures a true full blooded Spaniard could never have realized his Ideal mustaches. Missoula, Mont., June 13.— It was reported Thursday night that several miles of Northern Pacific track had been washed out near Sand Point, and there is little hope o f opening up trans portation between Missoula and Spo kane for some time.

One of the cleverest old customers w s ever knew w s s Judge Booth, who lived on the Bell ranch along the Red river in the northeastern part of New Mexico, aaya the Denver Field an d Farm . One morning out on the rang* tba Judge rolled out o f hla blanket* w ith a jumping toothache, and al though he exhausted all the remedies In camp, nothing had any effect. It was forty mllea to tbe nearest, town, with the chancea against finding a dentiat there, and it was finally de cided to appeal to one of tbe T exas cowboys riding herd five miles away. H e came over In response to the mes sage, and after taking a look at tba tooth, which was a double one on tbe upper Jew, he s a id : “ Jedge, I can shoot that tooth out aa slick as gresse if you don’t mind the scar It will leave on your cheek." "S h o o t It out?” shouted the judge at the top of his voice. “ W hy, man, you m ust be c ra z y ! " ‘ ‘W a ll, then, mebbe, I kin pick In ’null powder to blow It o u t ” "B lo w it out? N e v e r!” “ M ight possibly ham mer It out with a piece o f Iron,” mused the cowboy. “ And you might go to Patagonia and beyond!” exclaimed the Indignant sufferer. "Y e s , that’s generally the way with folks. I ’m only telltn’ you how we do It out here, but If you don’t want the tooth out, of course you’ll have to stand the pain.” The cowboy started back to the day herd, but after a gallop of half a m ile he returned to beckon the other boys aside and s a id : “ The Jedge seems to be a purty squar’ sort o’ man, though a leetel techy, and I ’m sorry fur h im ." “ K in he sit on a hoss?” “ Some of the time.” “ Kin he sh o o t?" “ Only now and then.” “Then I think I can cure that toothache.” H e spent five minutes unfolding tb e plot and then went over to tbe su f ferer and s a id : “ Jedge, I ’ve com e back to say that ye are a booby and a coward 1” “ W h a t !” yelled the ju d g e as he sprang up from his seat before the campfire, " A booby, a coward and a squaw, Jedge, and likewise a durned old lia r !” The Judge Jumped for him. hut tb e cowboy ran for hie horse.

For women, our national capital presents tihe moot hopeless m atrim o nial prospect In the world. It oueht to he a paradise for eligible bachelor* from the W est, especially mining m en and cattle men In search o f w ives w ho could gracefully spend their newly m ade w ealth. The departmental wom an clerk Is a m ost Interesting study, psychologically and m atrimonially. Phs Is generally the support o f one parent, often o f two, w hile a few sl*tors and brothers thrown In are not considered too liberal measure. She receives from 11,000 to $1,500 per year and hangs over the desk— “ All hope abandon y e w ho enter here.” A departmental po sition Is generally a grave o f rnnu/no* and matrimonial hopes. You hnve on ly to watch the m ale clerks streaming ou t from the various offices at 4 :3 0 p. in. to realize this. More blase men m ay be seen In 15 minutes pouring forth from certain government buildings In W ashington than one could pass tn a day’s lounging along New Y ork’s Ri alto, which Is saying some. They o f the government offices are worse than blase. T hey are am bitions and sated. They see nothing In life beyond morn years at the sam e salary, on which they could not support a w ife w ithout self-denial. They prefer loneliness and license. On tbe other hand, the department» are filled w ith pretty girls worth m ar rying, girls who m anage to dress well and still support more or less o f n fam ily because they are pettleonted finan ciers and economists. Most of thevn have moved their fam ilies to W ashing ton— and rent out rooms. In the sum mer they go on vacations, and som e times marry out-of-town men. Theso girls are the envy o f the others who happened to select the wrong place, m atrimonially, for a vacation. The only department men w orth m a n n in g in W ashington are those who work In tb s offices by day nad study law or medi cine by night, and they are too busy to think o f marriage.

The m atter o f the excessive size o f these boards w as called to his attention by s citizen who, after erecting a little cottage on « forty-foot front, found him self hedged In on both sides by billboards eighteen feet high and extending along the street 100 feet each way. Under the city ordinance there seemed to he noth ing ho could do, and therefore T rustee Carragher thinks the law should he changed so as to lim it the size o f bill boards. A matchmaker It the most popular person In the world w ith tw o people— the day after they become engaged. B u t the feeling they entertain for her grows colder after they are married, and when they have been married as long as five years, each one secretly feels that he, or she, would like t* vet fire to the m atchmaker’s bam .
