2 THE DAILY RECORD, FRIDAY, MAY IB, 1908. J8- 690 »»:ox&g2®§§§fg The Emperor and Empress arrived at Wies baden at 12.50 yesterday and drove en automobile to the castle. The streets were handsomely de corated and a large crowd of people cheered the Imperial couple as they passed. Soon after their Majesties’ arrival at the castle the military colours were brought there by a detachment of infantry. The Emperor stepped out on to the balcony and bowed in recognition of the enthusiastic cheers of the people. * Mr. Walter McClintock, of Pittsburg, whose lec ture on the life, customs and religion of the Black- foot Indian tribe of Montana, was delivered in German last week in the “Gesellschaft fur Anthro- pologie, Ethnologie und Urgeschichte”, was the guest of the Crown Prince at dinner at the Marmor- palais on Wednesday evening last and there de livered his lecture in English before the assembled company numbering about twenty. BERLIN m IE It was an illustrious company that assembled last Wednesday night in the beautiful banquet hall of the Hotel Adlon “Unter den Linden”, to do honour to Mr. Andrew Carnegie and his representative Dr. Holland. Thirty-two guests gathered around the finely decorated dinner table. Ex-minister von Moller was in the chair. Each guest found at his place, besides the artistically printed menu card, a nice little souvenir in the shape of a fine photo graph of the skeleton and the reconstruction of the Diplodocus which Mr. Carnegie has presented to the Emperor and which has been brought over by Dr. Holland. Minister von Moller made the first speech of the evening, giving a vivid picture of his impressions in America and especially of everything he saw in Pittsburg. He described how he at first, early in the sixties, as a young man, had wished to go over to the United States, but his father was afraid that the lanky young fellow would be pressed into the service of one of the armies fighting in the war of the rebellion. For decades he was unable to fulfil this ardent desire of his youth, but finally it became possible for him to travel to America last year, as the representative of the Emperor at the dedication of the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburg. Wherever he went in the United States his attention was called to a stately building, and every time when he asked what kind of a building it was, he received the answer that it was a Carnegie library. Thus he was prepared to expect something extraordinary when he finally arrived in Pittsburg; but his expectations were far surpassed. In his closing remarks Minister von Moller paid a glowing tribute to Mr. Carnegie and the United States. Professor W. Branca, Director of the Geological and Palaeontological Institute and Museum followed, with a speech full of humour and wit. He described how he went to the museum one night to have a nice little talk with the monster which has lived about five million years ago, and how he begged “Dipchen”, as he called the lovely looking animal, to tell him something of his early life which he could relate to his friends at the dinner table. And “Dipchen” felt greatly flattered that he would be mentioned so prominently at a festival held by the foremost men of science in Germany, in the Hotel Adlon, Unter den Linden, Berlin, Germany, and told the baffled professor how he was born, how his “Miitterchen” weighing eight thousand pounds had looked, how he had grown and lived and died. Then Professor Branca changed his subject, spoke of the hard labour and hardships Dr. Holland had to undergo while excavating the' bones of that animal in the Art-Auction.

Hardly able to suppress his emotion, Dr. Holland, after a few introductory words in German, ex pressed his deep-felt gratitude, using the English language, for the many tokens of friendship he had received in Germany. He had visited Berlin for the first time in 1877. Since that time this great city had developed in a degree surpassing even that of the great queen of the West, of Chicago. He had seen only progress and prosperity in Germany, while German science still kept its place at the head of all nations. America owed a large debt of gratitude to Germany in many respects. Names like those of Pastorius, Muhlenberg, Steuben will never be forgotten in America and especially in his native state of Pennsylvania. Dr. Holland closed with a glowing tribute to the brotherhood of science as the best promoter of general peace and friendship amongst all nations of the globe. After the dinner the guests remained together for a long time, exchanging stories and discussing serious scientific problems. Among the guests were, besides the men men tioned above, Professor Stumpf, Rector of Berlin University, Freihbrr von dem Bussche-Haddenhausen, representing the foreign office, Professor Dr. Brandi, Director of the English seminary, Pro fessor W. Nernst, the eminent chemist, who a short while ago had lectured at Yale, the nestor of German medical science Dr. Waldeyer, and many others—all shining lights in the scientific world. The whole affair was a fine tribute paid to America by the foremost men of the scientific world of Germany. Unfortunately, the official representative of the United States, Charge cVAffaires Mr. J. W. Garrett was prevented from participating by sickness, while Kultusminister Holle was kept away by the dedication of the Hohkonigsburg in Alsace, which he attended by special invitation of the Emperor. The Prague Jubilee Exhibition was opened yesterday by Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the future Emperor of Austria. Prince Eulenburg’s condition of health was rather weak yesterday. He had a fainting attack which necessitated the doctor’s attendance early in the morning. Such attacks the Prince has had frequently. His general nervous condition is very much run down in consequence of a liberal use of morphia in former use against insomnia. George Fergnsson, Singing master.

THE INDIAN FRONTIER SITUATION. A telegram from Peshawar says that owing to a few additional cases of cholera the 1st Northumber land Fusiliers and the Munster Fusiliers will hot accompany Gen. Willcocks’ force against the Mohmands, and the Seaforth Highlanders will, therefore, be the only white troops in the column. It is reported from Thai on the Kurram border that seventy Zakka Khels and Zakdinis have left to join the Mohmands raiding in the Peshawar district. They are likely to meet with a warm re ception, as the British posts are on the alert. NEWS FROM AMERICA. THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN. The New York correspondent of a London con temporary, commenting on the President’s speech at the laying of the foundation stone of the Bureau of American Republics, says that it indicates almost a volte face in his campaign against the lawbreak- ing Trusts. Apparently Mr. Roosevelt considers that the time has come to call a truce, while the effect of the series of prosecutions completed, pro ceeding, and pending is being noted. The sugges tion will be welcomed by business men all over the country, while it will hardly encourage would- be lawbreakers, upon whom the Federal Attorney- General will continue to keep a sharp eye. Suggestions are made in some of the New York newspapers that the President’s moderate utterances were deliberately chosen with a political purpose; with no other view, in fact, than to encourage that section of the Republican party which still insists that Mr. Roosevelt should serve another term at the White House. This may safely be dismissed as mere nonsense. Mr. Roosevelt sincerely desires the success of Mr. Taft’s candidature, and has done everything in his power to help it. The result is that Mr. Taft is assured of nomination at the National Convention at Chicago, and that very little is now heard of the once common prediction that the Convention would be “stampeded” for Roose velt. Several efforts have been made recently to obtain an authorised statement from Mr. Roosevelt, but they have been unsuccessful simply because the President is of opinion that the circumstances do not call for any such pronouncement from him. It is understood, however, that on the eve of the Convention Mr. Roosevelt will take effective means for letting his views be known finally and definitely. Mr. Taft is at present on the Isthmus of Panama on a confidential mission in his capacity as Secre tary for War. Incidentally he is understood to be endeavouring to bring about a friendly settlement of the questions in dispute between the Republics of Panama and Colombia. His friends say that he will be back in plenty of time for Chicago, and meantime they treat with contempt all reports as to anti-Taft intrigues encouraged from the White House. THE U. S. AND SWEDEN. The Convention between Sweden and North- America with reference to an obligatory Court of Arbitration was signed at Washington on the 2nd instant. This Convention is identical with the Arbitration Convention between Norway and Sweden and the United States signed on the 20th of January 1905, but not ratified. THE NATIONAL RESOURCES OF THE U. S. On Wednesday last President Roosevelt opened at Washington the conference for the preservation of national resources, the members including go vernors of several States and experts. In his ad- dress the President said that the conference had met to ventilate a question of vital importance to (Continued on page 4.)
