P a rty lines w ere entirely forgotten in a currency d ebate in the senate. Mr. and Mrs. Sayre, the W hite House newlyweds, have arrived in London. A terrific snow storm , accompanied by a 60-mile gale, sw ept the New E ng land states. The president o f the Missouri Pacific says low rates th reaten the solvency o f the railroads. Dem ocratic leaders regard W ilson’s nom ination for president in the next cam paign as certain. San Francisco Chinese Uphold Rebel Cause San F ra n c isco —If the radicul wing of the revolutionary party in China succeeds ¿ in it* plans to s ta rt an up risin g for the overthrow of President Yuan Shi Kai it will receive financial aid and m oral support from the San Francisco Chinese, who filled the war chests th a t overthrew the Manchu dynasty. Two thousand m em bers o f the j Young China association, a t a secret m eeting in Chinatown, adopted resolu tions indorsing the plans of the radical wing for im m ediate civil w ar. The San Francisco Chinese also cabled a promise to send th e ir reserve fund when it should be needed. News of the radicals’ action spread like wildfire throughout the section. Coincident w ith the news of the Young China association’s action has come the disclosure o f a sp lit in the revolutionary forces in China.

The radicals favor im m ediate rebellion to overthrow P resident Yuan Shi Kai, whom they charge w ith seeking to set him self up as em peror.

Some of the larg est ears of corn ever exhibited in the U nited S ta te s were here from B aker county. W ith m ost of the e n tries w ere re ports of yields per acre and cost per bushel. On irrig a ted land the produc tion runs as high as 85 bushels per acre, and on dry land from 25 to 45 bushels. The m ost successful yields are all from seed produced in Oregon.

The count shrugged his shoulders Indifferently. "Then we will do with out England, th a t la all.” Calling R osltta on the 'graph, be ad vised her to have ber men In readl ness. “Ie tho ultim atum on Its w ay?” was her eager question. "It Is ready to be sent, already In cipher." "T hen send It and In an hour an aerodrom one will call for you. I want you to come to Suemeg to see my fleet.” R osltta sh u t off the current before the count could answ er. His dignity was ruffled a t her behavior, but since it was Im perative th a t he see her he had to subm it to her plan. W hen th e aerom an called for him the ultim atum was on its way and he was ready to go to Suemeg. Ju s t before hp left, however, he sat down to hie desk and w rote a letter, then hurriedly folded It and, sealing It In an envelope, rang the bell for his aide de camp. The C aptain von Hocham berg en tered and saluted gravely. "I have a very Im portant m ission for you, captain. T ake the first train to Ham burg and thence to England. This letter contains a Bealed order for you. You m ust be a t the Germ an con su late In Liverpool by 8:00 a. m. to morrow.

He sighed and sta rte d for the elevator th a t took him to the w aiting aerodro mone. An hour late r he was in Suemeg, g re e tin g Roeltta. The m an who had m ade her w hat she was had lost his value In her eyes. He could do noth ing more for her, so he could be dis carded or destroyed. "I have called your honor here, to exhibit the fleet I possess, and to show you w hat we have accom plished and w hat we can do." The la tte r words carried a peculiar accent to the chan cellor’s ears. "I am quite curious to see every thing, my dear princess.” “Your curiosity will soon be grati fied, as I have already given orders to my men." She placed an em phasis on th e “m y.” The chancellor only bowed; then a fte r a pause he said: “ I also have some orders for you, princess, from hie m ajesty the k a tser!" She waved h e r hand airily. "W e can talk about It later.” T he princess led him a t once Into the open and pointed toward twenty- one aerodrom one8 th a t were stationed on the plateau, glittering In the sun shine.

A fter the Inspection dinner was aerved, In which the whole squadron took part. W erdensteln greeted sev eral of them as old acquaintances and friends of thoee good days when the arm ies held their own and when he was planning to conquer the Am erican continent. The tim es had changed. Now the a ir men ruled—a t the com m and of a beautiful, bold woman, whose only motive seemed to be vanity. These gloomy forebodings were w ar ranted aooner than he expected. Only appettzerB and soup had been aerved, when Count de Korona stood up and addressed the gathering: "T he pleasure of greeting the world- famous chancellor, the Iron-bunded man of tha Germ an Em pire, has been given me. It Is a g re at honor for us to have you a t our feaet, and we, the conquerors of the air, g reet you, who a re considered the representative of all the European powers.” R osltta Bmlled sw eetly a t the chan cellor, who was w atching the speaker In amazem ent. A fter a short pause, de Korona continued: “ We greet you as such, as a re p re sentative, and I. In my com rades’ names, ask your excellency to be with us in h eart and drink to the elected queen of the air, who Is distilled to be queen of the world. Long live our beloved Queen R osltta." The huzzas th at thundered through the hall told the chancellor plainly th a t this wae no pleasantry. Hts sus picions had not been w ithout founda tion. He paled and when the tum ult died away he stood up, calm and de- term lued aud w ithout a word left tha hall. This action m ade R osltta furious, but she did not show her Indigna tion. "The chancellor seem s to have lost his appetite,” was all she said. A fter the dinner was over, she gave a few cu rt orders and the aerom en proceeded Into another hall beautifully and regally decorated. At tbe far end stood a m agnificent throne.

He followed them. R osltta sa t on the throne with a glittering clrynlth crown on her head. She was more beautiful than ever. The Count von W erdensteln was led before her. He showed no Burprtse. His face was calm and his whole a tti tude expressed disinterest. "I have requested th a t your excel lency come to Suemeg, for I have a m eseage th a t I w ant brought before the whole w orld.” The count looked a t h e r steadily, and w ithout w aiting to h e ar her fur th e r words he Bald in his strong, pen e tra tin g voice: "I tell you, woman, to stand before me.
