The Isolation' of Germany In the foreign affairs of the world la Just be ginning to be understood here. As a Ger man sociallstwhose name la a household word, has 'tphrascd it, "Our position la one of gloomy grandeur." i Bvt now that the Impression "has gone forth that the kaiser really doea not want war, that he would prefer peace, thing ore not as bad as they have been, not as had as they might be. It wilt be a long time yet before .an understanding la likely to be arrived at, and it will bo longer atili before the profoundly unfavorable impres sion produced by the universally con demned proceedings of Germany has any chance tA being effaced, . But much that has been charged against Germany ought never to have been charged up against it at all. On the principle of making hay while the sun shines, a number of German aspirations have been brought forward which have little or nothing to do with Morocco, and which apparently could not hitherto obtain a hearing owing to the extremely reserved attitude of the French government towards Germany dur lng the last years of M. Delcasse's tenure of office. One of these German wishes ia concerned with the commercial policy pur sued in the French colonlea and partlcu larly in Tunis. Franco-German commercial relations are based upon the most favored nation clause of the treaty of Frankfurt, but when that treaty was concluded the Importance of colonial trade was not' fore seen. There Is now a desire on the Ger man side to obtain a modification of the French piactice, which has the effect of exeljdlng German and other foreign trade from Imnortant markets like those of Tunis. The view is expressed If a colonial agreement could be concluded between France and Germany it would be easier for the two governments to combat with suc cess the British policy of colonial pref erence. ' Would Iarnore F.najland. Another question which semi-official ex ponents of German intentions like Prof. Sehlc.mnnn are ventilating Is the position of neutrals on the seas, and the definition of contraband of war. In accordance with , the whole trend of German policy there is , a desire to have thla question oiscussea and decided without any particular regard to the views of England. It remains to be seen whether the con ference will really prove a success. At present the deml-seml officials are pursuing the prellmlniry device of advocating the blxarre conception of a triple alliance be tween Germany, France and England, which in itself Is a chimera, and is .about as far from the real objects of German policy as anything well could be. The negotiations that are now taking place In Paris between the French and the German governments with reference to the settlement of affairs In Morocco really )s having the effect of calling attention not only to the lonely position of Germany, but the commanding position which recent events bave placed In the hands of the kaiser. The defeat of the Russian by the Japa nese has practically destroyed the useful ness to the French of their alliance with Russia and has untied Germany's hands by taking a way the possibility of an invasion of her eastern frontiers should she at any time embark upon another war with France. Not unreasonably th Berlin government reckoned without King I'M ward. The "en tente cordlale", to some extent robbed the kaiser of the advantage that the weaken ing of Russia gave him. But the events that have happened have shown that the , statesmanship at Berlin in some ways has been sufficient to take advantuge of the undoubted mistakes of M. Delcaase and to get over this apparent setback. There Is no doubt but that M. Delcasse made a great tactical mistake In .tot ad vising the German government af the Anglo-French arrangement as far as it con cerned Morocco, and In obtaining, as ha certainly would . have done, German ac quiescence In Its clauses. Strengthens Gtraua Prestige. -'Although for many reasons there is little probability of anything like war when things come to a final conclusion, still the French government has had at the eleventh hour to admit the right of the German gov ernment to be consulted. This might not be so bad bo far as the two nations are concerned, but th Moors know they have bad to do this. It is now quits generally believed that all that Germany ever Intended to do was to bring about the strengthening of Ger- uuu prestige in Morocco and a consequent weakening of the prestige of both France aud England. It haa at the same time had th fuvtber effect of carrying forward one of th kaiser's pet schemes by increasing his Influence among the Mahometan powers. The fear of Germany., which Is always present In France, which Is common In nearly all of the countries on the con tinent of Europe, which Is daily becoming stronger tn England and which exists even In th United States, la undoubtedly based on tha fact that at the present time Oer. many la tho only power which desires and which Indeed may fairly b said to need territorial expansion. Whether one likes him or not the modrrn Unimao la vlillo person with capacity and ambition, and at tha saiua time possessing a sovereign who in himself may be uid to accurately epit omise the national spirit. Germany today Is as strung as England waa when It overflowed Its borders and sunt tta aons east and weat to create an empire on which tha aun never sets. The German ambition is first of all to domi nate In ihe councils of Europe, and that domination is In a measure now being achieved . Some German Hopes. Territorially its ambitiona are to absorb Holland so that It may attain a seaboard on the North sea, and it has always an- (Coattnued on Eighth Page ) TRYING A NEW EXPLOSIVE British Kind A site to Be More rower fa I anil (leaner Th"" Cordite. BIRMINGHAM, July 22. (Special Cable gram to The Bee.) In the presence of about lirf) members of Parliament, representatives of foreign governments, expert engineers and chemists, distinguished sportsmen, a series of experiments were made with cordite and axite at the works of Kynocli (limited). Mr. Arthur Chamberlain, chair man of the cmpany, and other representa tives conducted the visitors to the buttes nd points where the tests were made. Axite is a tiny, flanged, ribbon-shaped ma terial of the form of a double steel rail, rather lighter In color than cordite, and very slightly bulkier, weight for weight. One of its chief characteristics is that It contains within Itself a lubricant of .the nature of plumbago, so that although a score of shots are fired from a rifle, and the weapon is laid aside for a day or two, the barrel appears to sustain no damage. Indstd, If a rag is pulled through the bore the rifting and barrel shine as if the weapon had not been fired. Experiment No. 1 went to prove that a rifle from which ten rounds had been fired twenty hours previous was absolut'-'.y clean. The next test went to Indicate that, compared with cordite, equal charges. axite gave a much higher velocity, wLh about the same barrel pressure as cbrdlte at ordinary temperature, whilst at IK' -grees, Fahrenheit, it was about half t y.ui a square Inch less. The Increased velocity was from ItiO feet to over 700 feet per sec ond greater, according to the bullet used, than with a cordite charge. Of course thla also meant a smaller trajectory. Further experiments were conducted to prove the Increased Denetratlve force of the axite- drlven bullet. A Wostley-Rlchards rifle service charge of axite. with a patented copper-capped bullet. Intended for killing big game, displayed considerable power of penetration against steel plates, at the same time showing wonderful capacity for "sotting up" or expanding, so that a hit Would be fatal. As Mr. Chamberlain sub sequently explained, a sportsman ' need carry only a gun of eight pounds, or there abouts, and with two sets of bullets, one solid for small game, and the other copper capped for big. he could bring down any animal. BRITAIN WEEDS OUT SOLDIERS Army Ofllcera Required to Report on Physical Condition of Their Men. I.ONDON, July 22.-(8pcclat Cablegram to The Bee.) According to the new Instruc tions army officers commanding are to see that the medical officers report upon the physique of all men under their command with a view to seeing if they are fit to remain in the regiment and elaborate di rections ara given as to what constitutes fitness. Great stress Is laid upon the state of the teeth. Th volunteer, if he is to remain on the force, must have sufficient sound teeth for proper mastication, while he must be free from all organic disease and have a first-class constitution. Any defects which would prevent a man marching well or going on active service will also be fatal. Generally he must come up to the nhvalcal eaulvalent of 19 years and not be over 45. But even if a man passes these tests satisfactorily before he is to be counted fit for active service he must be counted as a first-class shot. Reports on these points having been com pleted, officers commanding are to Inform the War office of the number of fit and unfit under their command. In the latter case specifying the causes of unfitness. The duty Is also cast on officers commanding of stating whether in their Judgment unfit units should be disbanded or amalgamated with more efficient corps. CHINESE BOYCOTT WEAKENS Position of Government Said to Bo Fatal to Desire of Mer chants. PEKING, July 22. (Special Cablegram-to The Bee.) Some concern Is caused to th government by the receipt of messages from meetings under the Influence of stu dents educated abroad attacking certain clauses of the proposed American exclusion treaty and Insisting upon special treatment In Hawaii and the Philippine Islands, where the Chinese have enjoyed unrestricted lm migration for centuries. The movement for fhe boycotting of American goods has sub sided owing to the action of the authorities whose desire to prevent any Impairment of the American good will Is beyond question sincere. The Chinese have known the power of the boycott for a long time an only last year successfully used this weapon against the two leading German houses a Hankau. Never before have they at' tempted It on so large a scale as they did when they threatened to use It against the United States, and it Is a question whether they could have held together In large and long-continued operations against a nation Ilka the United States, even If the govern ment had not Intervened. COMES TO AMERICA FOR BOAT i German Knaperor Said to Be Having Vessel Bnllt In United States. BERLIN, July 22. (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) According to a German aportlng paper, the Kaiser ia now having built In a j shipyard In America a turbine motor yacht. which, If everything claimed for It be true, will revolutionize the building of such craft. The yacht ia to be about seventy-eight feet long and Its engines will be S.OOO-horse power, which will give the vessel a speed of nearly sixty miles an hour. Its turbine motora and gasoline apparatus are stated to be of an entirely new construction, in vented by a German-American named Gra-bert-Sellln, who haa also constructed tur bines capable of making over 9.0U0 revolu tions per minute. The boat will probably be used as a dispatch boat on the kaiser's cruise. PAY VETERANCUBAN TROOPS Soldiers of Revolution Will Receive Final Par Through Issue of Bonds. HAVANA. July 22.

The Inquiry Inc. th' Black sea mutiny and the conditio of affairs leading up to the rebellion of ' crews of the bat tleships Knlas Poteml. e and Its companion battleship, the George! Pobledonostseff. is progref ,mg slowly. There appears to be ime ground for the assumption that the ?lny wu the outcome of a carefully de vised and far-reaching plot. If this was the esse the organisers of the conspiracy must have been somewhat discouraged at the final results, though It appears to be one of the characteristics of your true Rus sian revolutionist that he never grows dis couraged. At the outsat It was feared that the whole Black sea squadron might bo In fected with the germ of treason, that all of the crews might take part in the Insur rection, and that sympathetic uprisings at Baltic naval stations might give the revo- titlonlsts control of what is left of Rus sia's sea power. Considerable rhrewdness was evidenced by the projectors of the movement, be the plan narrow or broad in scope, when they selected for the Initial explosion the bat tleship Knlas Potemklne, by far the most formidable vessel remaining under the Rus slan flag.. The lgnomonlous failure of Ad mlral Kruger to suppress the revolt, and the almost simultaneous decision of the crew on the Gcorgel Pobledonostseff. the next most powerful battleship In the fleet, to Join the mutineers, were auspicious events for the insurgents and the government's prospect of reasserting Its authority seemed hopeless when the remainder of the squad ron waa dismantled at Sevastopol. Choknlne Is Popular. Admiral Chuknlne, the real commander of the Black sea fleet, has been something of a hero In Russia. He Is an officer of horn great things have been hoped, but he has not had an opportunity of winning fame in the . present war, though the Wastage of admirals has been vry heavy In the far east. Since Admiral Skrydloff was withdrawn lo go to Port Arthur Ad mlral Chuknlne has been In command of this force, which has been of secondary Importance since It is confined to the Black se,a.by treaty obligations. It Is In existence on the sufferance of Europe, and certainly the English, the French, the German and other governments would not long remain silent provided It became the rule rather than the exception for pirates to capture Russian battleships and endanger the ship ping belonging to merchants flying the flags of these different governments. The Black sea fleet came Into being In 1871, when France and Germany were too busy to pay much attention to external affairs and when England also had its hands full. Then it was that Russia revived Its claim of the right to have armed ships In the Black sea. This demand, as is well known. was subsequently acknowledged provided they never passed through the Dardenellea. Consequently this Black sea fleet In the past two years, while stirring events have been happening, har felt Itself neglected and forgotten from the admiral in com mand to the youngest officer hoping to win promotion by actual service, and it may be that chagrin at their own mlBfortune has not made them particularly tactful In their treatment of their men. Besides, the dis position has been to draw the better ma terial for the other fleets, leaving the dregs both as to officers and men here In the Black sea. , Might Have Accomplished Something:. The later developments tend to show that had the two mutinous battleships acted to gether. Instead of separately, one remain ing idly at Odessa, the other going to the Roumanian port of Kustendje, they might by a threat of bombardment have forced the garrison of Odessa to surrender or raise the revolutionary flag; or the muti neers themselves, having replenisheJ their supplies, might have proceeded to Ratoum or Potl. where their presence would doubtless have acted like a torch on the accumulated material for a conflagration In the Cauca sus. -That the mutiny in tns mack sea fleet did not have more serious results must be attributed in a large measure to the fact that the officers still remain loyal to the existing government. The Russian peasant, on land or on sea, does not make the high est type of a soldier. He is a fatalist and a good lighter, but he lacks the power to take and execute. But for this fact the govern ment of Russia would have ended long ago so far as Its existing autocratic form Is concerned. Inquiries show that the position of both the officers and the men since the outbreak of tha war with Japan has been one of great perplexity and difficulty. Life on the Black sea Is dull at best, and the con scripts have no Ipve for sea life such as can be provided by these enclosed waters. The more adventurous spirits among those of the quarter deck and the lower deck had been encouraged to hope that the restric tions confining the fleet to the Black sea were about to be removed. Widespread were the reports' to the effect that the admiralty had decided that the man-of-war should break through the Dardenellea at the risk of the conaequencea, no matter what they might be. Unfamiliar with the ftnt-clasa warships possessed by tha powers tn the Mediterranean, the crews of the various shipa did not recognise the madness Of thla action, which they too readily ascribed to tnt aumorllles of pitting the Russian ships (with two exceptions of the poorest fighting qualities) against the splen did men-of-war of the nations who were parties to the treaty of Paris. Hopes Were Dashed. It was soon found, that the Russian admiralty naturally dij not entertain this idea. Instead, the more promising officers and crews were withdrawn, and there suc ceeded a feeling of discontent with tha Ufa of inaction and uaclessness, and this was accentuated when raw conscripts Were drafted aboard to replace those who had been withdrawn for war service. These men went afloat full of discontent, and they Continued on Second Page.) I DISLIKES THE INCOME TAX Many People Are Indignant with Work of Assessors In Great Britain. WNDON. July 22.-(3peclal Cablegram to The Bee.) The report of the parliamentary committee on the evasion of the Income tax has been received by many people with Indignation. They declare that numerous people are made to pay Income tax who should never pay at all; that the recoverv cf the wrongly paid amounts Is so difficult as to be almost Impossible; that large numbers, especially tradesmen and strug gling professional men, are assessed far above their actual Income; and that a great body of worklngmen earning well over the minimum taxable Income pay nothing at all. The handling of income tax returns Is so delicate a matter that during recent years a new profession, an offshoot of account ancy has come Into being to defend the purses of the rate payer". Firms like the Income Tax Adjustment agency, the In come Tax Reclamation association and otheis have lti.ge offlet-s and keep large staffs of men at work. T. Hallett Fry, t..c head of the last named association, dtvtares emphatically that while there are evasions of income tax the officials more than recompense for these evasions by the excessive amounts they obtain In other directions. 'Thousands of people, widows for in stance, whose incomes may not be more than $250 per year hut wiv- obtain their money through lnteres In limited com panies, have the tnx deducted before their dividends are pnld to them," he said. Many do not know how to recover. "According to the last return there were SSI, 600 separate assessments made on cem- panles for income tax. If we allow an j average of only twenty persons to one company and one Arm, I.lpton's, has 4O.0C0 shareholders that makes 7,000,000 made to pay full Income tax on their company earn ings. Does anybody Imagine that there are 7.0(i0,00i) of people In England today earn ing the full Income laid down by law be yond the abatement limit? "Then there are cxccsrIvo assessments. The tradesman who has entered a shop in a good suburban town finds himself as sessed for $2,500. Probably he does not make over $1,500 clear profit. But how Is he to show It? As a rule he does not keep books In a way which will enable him to make out a clear statement. If he called an accountant it would cost him probably at least $150 to have a three years' state ment drawn up. If he appeals he has to detail all of his affairs to a number of local men, very likely his business rivals. "The same applies to bigger enterprises. I know of one concern that In seven years made an actual loss of $25,000. Vet during that time it was assessed and had to pay tax on $18,B00." Compared with the United States evi dently Great Britain has few persons who receive incomes exceeding J250.OOO a year. This fact Is revealed by the parliamentary return on the assessment and payment of income tax Just Issued by the treasury de partment. According to thess same sta tistics the emoluments of government, cor porate and other public officials have risen, Judging from the assessments by $125,000,000 In ten years, the incomes derived from farming have fallen by nearly $10,0uo,000, the Incomes of .property . wri havn gouo up by over 155.0fln,oon ahd the Incomes of the business, professional and private em ployment classes have Increased by about $150,000,000. NORWEGIANS FEAR RUSSIA Union with Sweden May Be Renewed If Suitable Rnler Cannot Be Fonnd. CHRISTIANIA. July 22.-(Special Cable gram to The Bee.) Absurd as It may seem when the political upheaval In Russia is remembered, despite the feeling against Sweden which exists, the idea is every where being expressed that it would be far better for the people of Norway to again unite with Sweden than to fall Into the arms of Russia. Hopes are entertained of good results from the effort to call to the throne a prince of Danish or English blood In the event of this coming to naught and with prospects of diplomatic negotiation on the part of Russia being opened. It Is be lieved that by far the great majority of the people of Norway would again hall a union with Sweden. One trouble is that grave fears are entertained as to Russia's ultimate action in the extension of its frontier, which Is only a few miles from the head of the Lyngenfjord. In securing this fjord a warm water port open all the year round would be obtained by Russia, action which It Is feared would lead 4o an nexation by Russia. STOCKHOLM, July 22.-(8peclal Cable gram to The Bee.) The Aftonbladet, discus sing the Scandinavian rupture, has the fol lowing to say: "We have not to consider the question of war with Norway, as, to our knowledge, no war Is thought of In any responsible qusrter n Sweden. But it may be a very different thing If It were thought necessary that Sweden should be prepared for every eventuality In dealing with those who showed no hesitation In trampling under foot existing treaties and laws. We know now by experience that anything may be expected." I DIAMOND "GRAFT" IS FATAL Mai Acrhaed of Crime Commlta Sui cide nnd Exonerates Alleged Confederate. KJMBERI.EY, July 22 (Special Cable gram to The Bee.) A atory of a "deal in diamonda." which involvea corruption and the suicide of a high official Is Just run ning through the .courts here. A regis tered diamond buyer named David ifcGill was charged with contravening the dia mond trade act. The evidence showed that he received a parcel of diamonds (332 carats) from Edward Damant, an unli censed dealer, and a further allegation was that he failed to forward his diamond reg ister to the chief of the detective depart ment within the specified time. Damant, however, was the chief clerk in the detective department and he appears to have been engaged in a system of fraud, it was clearly shown that while McGlll j sent in correct official returns after trans- , actions with uamant. tne latter placed false copies of, such returns in the offi of the department. When Inquiries were being instituted Damant committed suicide by shooting. In letter which he left he made an appeal to Captain Jenner. the chief of the de partment, oti behalf of McGlll. "He Is in no way to blame," he wrote, "as lie was led to believe that you knew all about the sales and that everything was in order. I got .2ou from him yesterday to pay for another parcel of 151 carats, which is in the safe. Thla amount should be refunded to nim." 4 I Though the magistrate committed Mc Glll for trial, the crown prosecutor baa deoUned to proceed against him.

NORFOLK, Va., July Tne body of Admiral John Paul Jones, recently found in Paris as the result of a scar.ch inspired and conducted under the direct charge of General Horace Porter, former United States ambassador to France, passed in the Virginia capes this morning on the United States cruiser Brooklyn, under Rear Admiral Sigsbee, the Brooklyn having as escorts across the Atlantic from France the cruisers Galveston. Tacoma and Chat tanooga. Oft this coast the fleet was met by the battleship squadron of the North Atlantic fleet in two divisions, the first being under the command of Rear Admiral Evans and the second commanded by Rear Admiral Davis. The three squadrons approached the capes together, the vessels under com mand of Rear Admiral Evans leading and the Davis and Sigsbee squadrons closely following. Upon the vessels reaching Cape Henry Admiral Evans' squadron, composed of the battleship Maine as flagship, the battle ships Missouri, Kentucky and K ear sage, passed Into lower Chesapeake bay at 7:10 o'clock. Then came the Sigsbee squadron In the following order: The flagship Brooklyn, the cruisers Galveston, Tacoma and Chat tanooga. Following these were the vessels of Rear Admiral Davis' squadron, which entered the lower bay In this order: The battleships Alabama, Illinois, Massachu setts and Iowa. The exact hour of the passing In of tha Blgsbee vessels was 7:20, and the Davis squadron Immediately afterwards. The Sigsbee and Davis squadrons proceeded Im mediately up Chesapeake bay, bearing the body of Admiral Jones toward Annapolis, Md., Its last resting place, while the ves sels of Admiral Evans squadron said fare well to the others of the fleet and pro ceeded to Old Point Comfort, Va., enroute to Lambert's Point, where the battleships will coal. 1 Admiral Evans Reports.
