The motor oar was placed at Hll-Isr's disposal as promised, and he­ re night fell he found himself back his room at the hotel no worse and fco better for his experience. For ten •ays thereafter he made useless at tempts * to forward his message by ferery means that his ingenuity could «auggest. Once he allowed it out of his Jhands, intrusting it through extremity to the care of a fisherman, and on the fthe following day, with seals un broken, it was returned to him by a polite officer of the United States army in civilian dress. Were it not tfor the gravity of his task he would Itave come to regard it as a joke, a toy's game of prisoner's base or tag, 3b which he was always "it." > And then, as if to reproach him for tela failure, there came from the clear­ ness of the sky a swift and terrible thunderbolt. It was a message from JBngland reporting the disappearance «of that immense fleet *rhich was to follow on his heels, and depended upon ilhe delivery of his message for its Immunity from attack. He had taken too long! Stunned by this overwhelming dis­ aster, shuddering in each nerve, and With every fiber of his body quivering, sought the seclusion of his room threw himself upon his bed and burled Ills face in the pillows. Repeatedly •(here ran through his mind the self- reproach that had it not been for his ^failure this shocking toll of war might never have been collected. An armada «f greater strength than that which tiad fought off Cape Trafalgar had sailed gallantly out to its doom, trust­ ing to him to avert disaster, and he in this hour of stress, when the fate of nations hinged upon his resource, had proved Inefficient! Over and over he reviewed the struggle he had made to accomplish his mission, bub found isven in this stern self-criticism no flaw of endeavor. But in his hour of bitter­ ness he thought that God might have toore kind. CHAPTER X. Ail Emperor DisipjMafS. i Such was the effect of the strange fcappenings of May and June that the poise of all Europe seemed trembling and unstable. Men who in all their lives had respected law and society Sbegan to question the value of com­ munal authority, when even the most «arefully reared power proved unable to protect itself against what appeared to be only one invention. Taxation fead created government, which in turn had devised armies and navies and ex­ pended more and more money in their equipment. It had now been demon­ strated that the discovery of some one new force, some one engine of destruc­ tion more powerful than any other known, could destroy the values of navies and armies in a day. And yet In this frame of mind, where anarchy Memed less terrible and governments at best but weak organizations, the greed for aggrandizement, and con- quest reasserted itslf. In Russia the revolutionists took Jhfeart aid hoped to possess*"the land. In the Balkans, reeking with the blood of past strife, new forces were forming lor .independence. Rulers of neigh­ boring powers studied the map of . Turkey, dreaming of what portion might be seized. China, rehabilitated for aggression by Japan herself, re­ gretted a compact with the smaller country which prevented its seizure, •Ipw that it was so terribly weakened. But the most threatening attitude of aD was that of Germany toward Great Britain. The Hohenzollerns, a line of •warriors, still held the ancient throne, and the kaiser was ambitious for his country's advancement. An astute mler of exceptional capacity, he al- ready had advanced Germany's flag of trade beyond all seas, and by this •leans alone practically dominated all of South America. In all earlier days Of this trade conquest the United States had been busied in her home enterprises, saying to herself that when she chose she could find a way to take the traffic of the southern con­ tinent with ease. With her eyes swad­ dled in silly egotism, she had waited . '-•**<>-. 'IftV * - ^ 4-"' r'\, . I Told Them They Might 8earch Him. till too late, and then, when her band­ ages were removed, suddenly learned that commercial brains were not con­ fined to America alone. The sleeping giant had lost commercial supremacy in a continent which was hers by right of location and needs, to a race of in- , dustrious workers across the sea. Nor had Germany neglected her fight for trade at home. . There, too, she found egotists, so swollen with self sufficiency that by disastrous tariff methods they had been bested. England, failing to protect her pro­ ducers had driven her own farmers and carriers from the field, until, as one dis­ gruntled farmer said: "You can't pick up a cabbage in a stall which doii'i bear the words 'made in Germany;'" and if a new crown was needed for the king, Germany would have stood a fair chance of booking the order. In a natural revulsion which had reached fever heat before the Japanese-Ameri­ can war broke out, England was try­ ing to obstruct this encroachment. The feeling thus engendered between the two nations culminated in one of envy on the part of Great Britain and one of hatred on the part of Germany. The kaiser, calmly reviewing .times and conditions, decided that the time had come to strike. England, with power sadly dimin­ ished through the loss of her great fleet, and at the mercy of the United States in her richest colony, stood open to attack. While she was still mourning defeat, Germany took ex­ ception to the tariff laws in a very carefully worded message. It was one that under normal circumstances would have provoked demands for apologies, or, in a refusal of such, al­ most instant war. But now the lion was driven to temporize. That the kaiser hoped for an open rupture and intended to leave*no stone unturned for such an outcome, was demon­ strated by his sending more curtly worded notes. The English press retailed these to the public, and accused the kaiser of deliberately plotting war with a foreign country to offset the spread Of socialism which threatened him at home, hoping by combat abroad to re­ unite his own people. The kaiser demanded an apology from the British press; but English­ men were not accustomed to bending the knee, even though the lack of flexi­ bility might cause the loss of life. Lacking nothing in bravery, they re­ luctantly faced a crisis rather than brook humiliating domination. Their answer therefore was bellicose. Germany at once began an ominous assembling of her fleets in strategic waters from which on a moment's no­ tice they might sail forth. France stood diplomatically aloof, hoping per­ haps that when the world had wearied of fighting sh» might be in a position to gain by plunging into the fray. Alsace Lorraine was still mourned, and her monument In the Place de la Concorde draped. Then, at the very inoment when it seemed that England would be com­ pelled to beat back an invading army from her shores there came an unex­ pected lull. The British press had been predicting a declaration of war within 24 hours, when the change took place. At the first day's delay the well informed wondered, and when two days had passed, and finally three, it became certain that some very un­ usual eyent had taken place In Ber­ lin. Rumors began to creep to London, to Paris, and soon the whole world knew, despite Germany's attempts to " " " ^ ' keep the matter a secret, that qn the very eve of a crisis the kaiser, the most dominant figure in Europe, had disappeared. Nor was that all. As if to emphasize the fact that it could have been through no mental aberration that he had gone, the chan­ cellor of Germany had disappeared at the same time. That something inex­ plicable had taken place was known within a few hours after the kaiser and chancellor were last seen. On the night of their disappearance1 they had been closeted together with the most trusted military adviser of the empire. This latter officer, fatigued by duties which had tried him beyond his years, had left the consultation at midnight. In the room where it was held there was a telephone used only by certain privileged ones who, by means of a stated signal to the switchboard operator, could gain com­ munication. Who these were none but the kaiser knew. This operator told the secret service men of the empire that a few minutes past midnight he had answered a call and received the password which caused him to make the desired con­ nection with the emperor's telephone, and a conversation of some minutes ensued, which, owing to the arrange­ ment of the Instruments, he was un­ able to hear. The guards of the palace were called to the council room and in­ structed by the kaiser in person to ad­ mit a man who would present a plain card within a few minutes. They re­ ported that a cafrriage drove up to the outer gates and a gentlemanly appear­ ing stranger who spoke perfect Ger­ man handed out a slip of pasteboard on which nothing whatever was printed "or engraved. Fearing, despite their master's instructions, that the man might be an anarchist, the guards had hesitated, whereupon the visitor, reading their suspicions, told them that they might searcli him If they wished, which they dm. This was carried out with even more than or­ dinary care, and the man was found to Jiave absolutely nothing in his pock­ ets. He was dressed in the regulation dinner suit, as if he had lately come from some club. Still suspecting something unusual in snch a singular visit and admission at this hour of the morning, the guards escorted him to the council room and waited at attention in the doorway when his presence was announced. To' their surprise the. emperor smiled as If in recognition, bade his visitor "Good evening" in English, and dis­ missed the soldiers. Reassured by this action, the men had resumed their ac­ customed posts, thinking no more of the matter, aud regarding It simply as oae of the unusual appointments which are made in such troublous times. In less than an hour, during all of which time the guard at the door had heard voices In seeming conversation participated in by the three persons with the room, he heard the emperor and the chancellor burst into most un­ usual and hearty laughter. A few minutes later he was surprised when the emperor came from the room and went to his dressing chamber, from which he emerged in the plainest of civilian clothing, after which he beckoned to his two companions. His imperial majesty cautioned the guard to 1ft no one know that he was- leaving or of the nocturnal visitor, and, 8till accompanied by the unknown man and the chancellor, passed from the palace. From this on he was traced to the very carriage door, which was closed behind the party by an­ other attendant. The vehicle drove away in the night, the glow of the men's cigars being the last thing no­ ticed by the man who escorted them, thus showing that all were on very friendly and intimate terms. The conveyance Itself was trtewl for several miles .Into the country, through the fact of its having passed several other rigs. There was noth­ ing in its appearance to distinguish it from any other, and only the fact that the streets at that time of night were deserted enabled the officers to gather any idea of its direction. Oth­ ers had been observed; but all were identified and accounted for, and It was by a process of elimination only that the one carrying the kaiser and his companions was tracked. The re turn Journey of the vehicle, if such there had been, was not noticed, and therefore led to the theory thai some­ where within the empire the kaiaer and chancellor were being held pris­ oners. The puEsllng feature of the occur­ rence was that the emperor must have been acquainted and even on terms of friendliness with the man who decoyed him away. No anarchistic attempt could be deduced from the situation, because with the careful search that had been made it was certain that there could have been no assassina­ tion unless a most remarkable conceal­ ment had been made of ^11 evidences of the crime. Nor was it even tenable that the party had crossed the border line, because in a condition of threat­ ened war all travelers were being closely watched. Over every foot of the empire and into the most inaccessible portions, search was being made for the placa where the nation's ruler and the chan* cellor might be held; but sO far there had been nothing whatever that threw even the faintest ray of light on their whereabouts. The attempts of the secret service men and mem* bers of his majesty's family to keep his disappearance a secret failed, and indeed was unnecessary, for the people themselves had to be enlisted in a quest involving the whole country. It was at this juncture that a Ro­ many horse trader, scenting a reward, offered his services and a suggestion to the police which was promptly acted upon. He described having met the carriage which was supposed to have taken away the emperor, and, following the Instincts of the horse­ man, he scrutinized the animals more closely than the conveyance. He said he was walking round a turn In the road, and was almost ran over fore he had time to gain a free way. One of the horses almost brushed him In passing, and he notffied not only a singularity of gait, but a peculiar white mark on the animal's flank. (TO BE CONTINUED.) PRESIDENT ASKS CALIFORNIA TO WAIT ON- . ' . ,V«s - . HE SEES MISCHIEF AHEAD Declares the Anti-Jap School Bill Al complishes Nothing--Repairs Or­ dered on Pacific Fleet 8hipe||̂ £< Senate Discusses Question*. ; Washington.--Following a confer- ence at the White Hous#with Senator Flint, Representative Kahn and. Inter- State Commerce Commissioner Lane of California, Secretary of State Bacon and Assistant Secretary O'Loughlin on the Japanese legislation Monday the president sent a message to Speaker Stanton of the California legislature urging that the present policy "of the administration be allowed time to work its benefits without Interference. He declares that figures show that the number of Japanese in this coun­ try is constantly lessening. It is in the message to Speaker Stanton that the president admits that all the talk of trouble with Japan has not been idle and that a grave crisis may be precipitated by the passing of the school measure. "Such a bill as this school bill ac­ complishes literally nothing whatever in^the line of the object aimed, at, and gives just and grave cause for irrita­ tion, while in addition the United States government would be obliged immediately to take action in the fed­ eral courts to test such legislation, as we hold it to be clearly a violation ot the treaty," wired the president. "On this point I refer you to the numerous decisions of the United States supreme court In regard to state laws which violate treaty obliga­ tions of the United States. The legis­ lation would accomplish nothing bene­ ficial and would certainly cause some mischief and might cause very grave mischief "In short, the policy of the adminis­ tration is to combine the maximum of efficiency in achieving the real ob­ ject which the people of the Pacific slope have at heart, with the minimum of friction and trouble, while the mis­ guided men who advocate such action as this against which I protest are following a policy while totally falling to achieve any real result for good, yet might accomplish an infinity of harm." The conference was followed by an­ other one with Secretaries Newberry and Wright. The subject of the dis­ cussion was guarded by secrecy, al­ though It has been learned that orders have been sent to Admiral Swinburn directing the eight armored cruisers of the first squadron of the Pacific fleet to proceed to their home yards on the Pacific coast for repairs after the completion of their target practice at Magdalena bay. The senate in executive session dis­ cussed the Japanese question. Inci­ dentally the discussion turned upon the reference to Senator Perkins by President Roosevelt in a telegram to Gov.

Washington.--It is well understood among prominent officials in Washing­ ton that Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou has accepted the presidency of the Consolidated Gas Company in New York. Mr. Cortelyou has de­ clined to either affirm or deny the statement, but there does not seem to be any doubt as to its truth. It is un­ derstood that the secretary yill leave Washington about March 4 for a rest of a month and possibly longer, and that upon the termination of his vaca­ tion he will go to New York and as­ sume charge of the gas company. ROOSEVELT MAKES DENIAL. President Says He Did Not Girl's Horse.

Ac­ cording to the reports circulated at the" time the alleged incident oc­ curred, President Roosevelt struck Miss Rhodes' horse because Bhe passed him on the road. NEEDS OF FARMER PLAN GREAT CANAL SCHEMES Immense Waterway to Connect the Baltic and Black Seas. flunnia more wonderful than those of Panama and Suez are already in prospect. The early summer is to see the commencement of an inland water­ way that will dwarf them both into comparative insignificance. This is the long-projected Baltic and Black sea canal, which will Intersect Russia from north to south, a distance of 1,000 miiew, and the total estimated cost of which is put officially at $500,000,000, although it will probably largely ex­ ceed even this sum. % Another worderful canal scheme which is being enthusiastically taken up in Italy, contemplates nothing less than the joining by this means of Genoa and Lake Constance. To do this it will be necessary, of course, to cross not only the Apennine moon tains, but also the Alps. This it is proposed to do by means of a ndw invention of locks, involving the construction of a series of in­ clined tubular water lifts.

SHOWN BY COUNTRY LIFE COM- MISSION REPORT, Obstacles te Be Overcome Are Point- Sri Out, Together with SuggM^ - tlons for Guidance of ths Na? tional Government. Washington.--Report of the commis­ sion on country life, of especial inter­ est to the farmers, was read in both bouses of congress. A summary fol­ lows: To the President: Ths commission on country life herewith presents its report. The commission finds that agriculture In the United States, taken together, la prosperous commercially, when measured by the conditions that have obtained in previous years, al­ though there are some regions in' which this is only partially true. The country people are producing vast quantities of supplies for food, shelter, clothing, and for use in the arts. The country homes are Improving in com­ fort, attractiveness and healthfulness. Not only in the material wealth that • they produce, but In the supply of in^ dependent and strong citizenship, the ag­ ricultural people constitute the very foundation of our national efficiency. As agviculture Is the immediate basis of country life, so It follows that the general affairs of the open country, speaking broadly, are In a condition •* Moat Prominent DefSetenciee. Yet It ia tru6, notwithstanding all this progress as measured by his­ torical standards, that agriculture is not commercially as profitable as it is entitled to be for the labor and energy that the farmer expends and the risks that,he assumes, and that the social cbnditions in the open country are far short of their possibilities. The reasons for the lack of a highly organised rural society are very many, as the full report explains. Ths lead­ ing specific causes are: Lack of good training for country life in the schools; Lack of good highway facilities; The widespread continuing deple­ tion of soils, with the Injurious effect on rural life;. A general need of new and active leadership. Other causes contributing to thai general result are: Lack of any ade­ quate system of agricultural credit. Whereby the farmer may readily sej cur^ loans on fair terms; the short­ age of labor, a condition that is often complicated ,by intemperance among workmen; lack of Institutions and in­ centives that tie the laboring man to the soil: the burdens and the, narrow life of farm women; lack of adaquat* supervision of public health. Nature of the Remedies. Congress can remove some of ths handicaps of the farmer, and It can, also set soma kinds of work in motion such as: The encouragement of-a system of thorough-going surveys of all agricul­ tural regions In order to take stock and to develop a scientifically and economically sound country life; The establishing of a nationalised system of extension work in rural communities through all the land- grant colleges with the people at their homes and on their farms; A thorough-going investigation by experts of the middleman system of handling farm , products, coupled with a general inquiry into the farmer's disadvantages in respect to taxation transportation ratqp. co-operation or­ ganisations and credit, and the gen­ eral business system; An inquiry into the control and use Of the streams of the1 United 8tates with the object of protecting the peo­ ple In their ownership and of saving to agricultural uses such, benefits as should be reserved for these purposes; . The establishing of a system of parcels post and postal savings banks; And providing some means or agency for the guidance of public,' opinion toward the development of a real rural society that shall rest di­ rectly on the land. Other remedies recommended for consideration by congress are: a# i Ka TTnUniJj States bureau of education, to enable it to stimulate and co-ordinate the ed­ ucational work of the nation; Careful attention to the farmers' interests In legislation on the tariff, on regulation of railroads, control or regulation of corporations and of spec­ ulation. legislation in respect of riv­ ers, forests, and the utilisation Of swamp lands: Increasing ths powers of ths fed­ eral government In respect to the supervision and eontrol of the public health; Providing such regulations aa will enable the states that do not permit the sale of liquors to protect them­ selves from traffic from adjoining states. In setting all these forces in motion, the co-operation of the states will be necessary; and in many cases definite state laws may greatly aid the work. Remedies of a more general nature are: A broad campaign of publicity, that must be undertaken until all the people are Informed on the whole sub­ ject of rural life, and until there is an awakened appreciation of the r.eces- slty of giving this phase of our na­ tional development as much attention aa has been given to other phases or Interests; a quickened sense of re­ sponsibility, in all the country people, to the community and the state in the conserving of soil fertility, and in the necessity for diversifying farming In order to conserve this fertility and to develop a better rural society, and also In the better safe-guarding of the strength and happiness of the farm women; a more widespread conviction of the necessity of organisation, not only for economic but for social pur­ poses, this organisation to be more or less co-operative, so that all the people may share equally in the benefits and have voice In the essential affairs of the community; a realisation on the part of the farmer that he has ^dis­ tinct natural responsibility toward the laborer in providing him with good living facilities, and in helping him In every way to be a man among men; and a realisation on the part of all tue people of the obligation to protect and develop the natural' scenery and attractiveness of the open country. •Highly Educated Turkrsh Women. New light Is being thrown upon things Turkish has brought out some Interesting discoveries. For example, the Turkish woman of the upper classes Is described as perhaps the most highly educated woman in the world. While her western sisters are busy playing hockey and tennis, per­ forming their social duties--and flirt­ ing--the Turkish woman spends, her day in reading and study. It is not aa uncommon thing to meet Turkish ladies who can speak not only half the languages of Europe, but know, in addition, ancient Greek, Persian and Arabic. Schopenhauer and Herbert Spencer are favorite authors, and the *-atest English and French novels are the principal subjects of their after­ noon small talk.
