POLISH LAND MAGNATE ASKS HIM NOT TO VISIT POSEN. Fears Fanatic May do Harm -- Racial Fegling in Polish Ter- ritory is Said to be at Fever Heat. Berlin, July 24.--Court chamberlain Von Morawski, a Polish land mag pate, has appealed to emperor William pot to visit Posen during the army wanceuvres to be held in September, as bis majesty had planned to do. ' The chamberlain fears that some Polish fanatic might sttempt to harm the emperor. Racial feeling is described as at fever beat, and several Berlin journals take the view that it would be unwise for the emperor to expose himself un necessarily. t is scarcely likely that emperor William will act upon the chamber lain's appeal, because his majesty never permits himself to cha his uns on account of the timidity of is advisers. It is his purpose to de clare the government's Polish policy while in Polish territory, and his giv- ing up personal supervision of the manoetvres would unprecedented. The Polish question is regarded as the most pregnant in the govern ments domestic policy. While no ob server believes the Polish agitation can really amount to much ultimate ly, it is embarrassing the relations with Austria and Russia. Count Von Buelow, the German im- perial chancellor, is well aware of the disagreeable features of the Polish agi- tation, and it is quite likely he will devise measures to quiet the extreme violence of the Polish feeling.

Only the dried root has a commercial value, however, and, though the price is $5 per pound, they could not make enough to satisly them, and at last hit upon a novel scheme whereby their gaine might be increused at the expense of the deal When fresh dug the ginseng roots are large and juicy, and it was an easy matter to scoop ont the ventral part amd fill it with a substance hav mg more specific gravity than gin song. Generally they used shot, but gravel, bits of iron, and even glass have been discovered by the whole sale men at Milwaukee, with the re sult that they have ceased buying from the Indians to ers, USED GOLD-BRICK SCHEME. Swindlers Adopt American Idea With Variations. Paris, July 23.-- In the little town of Marennes 5 robbery of mueh in- genuity has just been perpetrated. Two men called at the house of a citi- zen gnd told him their sister had been dishonored. In order, they said, to conceal this fact and preserve her good name, they were searching for a amily who would adopt and raise the child. "We shall pay for this service $4,000, and in two years will double this sum," they said. "Will you ae- cept the charge ?"' The man consulted his wife, and when she consented the two strangers produced $4,000. Then they asked if the person who took the child had a guarantee to offer The man brought out $300, and the two brothers took both suns of money and put them in 5 box. Then the fpur people hreakiasted, and the pair, pre senting the box to the man, said they would send the key of it with the child. After they had gone, the nun, becoming suspicious, openéd the box, to find only a few sous and some plec es of lead. Sagasta Celebrates 75th Birthday Madrid, July 24.--Senor Sagasta. the Spanish prime minister, was the recipient of innumerable congratula- tions to-day on the occasion of his seventv-fifth birthday. The felicitations came from the voung king, from the (queen mother and from eminent per sons in all parts of the kingdom. The venergble premier is beginning to. feel the weight of his vears and his desire to relinquish office and retire to pri vate life is no secret. But Spain cand ill-afford to spare his services. After much hard work he has succeeded in bringing the country's finances and in- ternal affairs into , morc satisfactory condition than they have been since the war with the United States. It is interesting to recall the fact that in his vouth. Sagasta was one of the most vigorous revolutionists and un tirig intriguers of his race. By pro- fession he is a civil engineér, and at various times when he has been out of power in the government he has supported himself as teacher or jour nalist. When he was only twenty-six vears old, he was elected to the cor tes. He allied himself with the liber als and twice had to flee to France for his life. His first ministry was that of the interior, under Gen. Prim, and since then he has been prime minister time after time. ---- Light Weight Coats And Vests.
