The emperor of Germany, with all his
ranopty of war lord, has been markedly
democratic la chocelng hi Intimates and
advisors eutslJe the sobll ly. Ho ha been
disposed to meet and confer la public and
private with men of affairs manufactur
ers, merchants, masters of the mechanical
arts, economists and philanthropists; In
fact, with all who are striving to Improve
the commercial. Industrial and Intellectual
condition of Germany. The kalaer la hon

The lowly birth of the late Herr Kropp
was no obstacle to the friendship of the

once among the German great who bear

Fifteen or twenty yearn ago the great
est possible strateglo Importance was at
tached to Port Arthur aad there were
periodical alarms that Its occupation by
Rusala would prove a caiua belli on the
part of Great Britain. Then there came
the great flourish ot trumpets over the
British occupation ot Wel-hal-wel, fol
lowed later oa by the unwilling admiaslon
that the place waa of no use as a naval
base, although tt might be a nice, healthy
spot for a sanatorium. Now the glory of
Port Arthur haa almost all departed, and
the probability la that Russia would
abandon It altogether If she had not spent
so much money there. It was expected to
prove the great southern terminus and
commercial depot ot the Manchurlaa rail
way, bat this Is the position oeoupled by
Daisy, while Port Arthur Is reached by a
loop line. It has been deserted by nearly
all tts merchants, who have migrated to
Dalny, and exists only aa a military and
aaval headquarters. Even as a naval sta
tion It will be of Inferior rank to Vladi
vostok. Some Russian naval experts have
already advised the government to follow
the example of England at Wel-hal-wel
and withdraw from tho place, but It hi not
likely that this advice will be taken, as
retirement would not only be aa offense
to national pride, bat a confession of error.
The people of Jspaa are beginning to
recognise that to maintain a big standing
army, to have and to hold a modern navy

Japan that can bo further taxed to secure
the sums required without eataillag undue
haniahiDa. hence the Indirect meaaa ot

is tT7.14.lS7. which Is far above the aver

ful whether this amount will be given in

the competition of millionaires te keep on
