Britons and Frank IHikn Pari Oo-rerwtnent lade pri4rnl f Papport. ST. PETERSRCRO. Jan. IT. A new grouping of the power of Europe, with Oermany and Russia arrayed side by ld In the clonal friendship and the mis matched alliance of tha empire with re jubllcan France lagging In the rear, waa forecasted by the words of Emperor Xlrh- ( olas at a gala luncheon at Tsarkoe Selo today In honor of Emperor William's birth day. Rising to his feet before a brilliant com pany of Russian and Oermaa representa tive to propose, a toast to the Oerman emperor. Emperor Nicholas lifted his glass and said slowly and distinctly, as if weigh ing every word: . I drink to the health of the emperor of Oermany and the kins; of Prussia, my. brother and very dear friend. The phrases chosen were significant enough In themselves, the emperor In prev- j lo'is years having; proposed the health of the emperor-kin without the qualifying ex- j preealon of brotherhood and friendship, but turning; to Herr von Schoen. the Oer man ambassador, who was standing at his right, the emperor grasped him by the hand and Is reported to have said: "Frere, e'est plus que sllle." (Brother, that's more thsn ally.) The stage of the momentous utterance was the great dining hall of the Alexander, or "little" palace at Tsarskoe Selo, where the emperor has winter residence. The em press and Orand Duke Michael were pres ent at the luncheon, to which were In vited besides all the members of the Ger man embassy staff. Court Minister Fred ericks and many high dignitaries of tho court, generals, admirals and all the Rus sian knights of the Oerman order of the Black Eagle, while the presence of Count Wltte, the premier, and Count Lamsdorff. the foreign mlnlnster, gave ministerial sanction to the significant utterance. All were In full uniform. The emperor and Urand Duke Michael wore the uniforms of the Prussian regiments, of which they are honorary commanders. France) Becomes Lake warm. The emperor's choice of the word "ally" Indicates that the defensive alliance with France la still considered binding, but un doubtedly as hug been the gossip In diplo matic circles here for some time, not a hair's breadth beyond the letter of the treaty providing for common action only In case France Is not the aggressor, and there la no telling how soon It will be allowed to pass In desuetude. The present relations between Oermany and Russia have been a matter of slow, but steady growth and signs of the new alignment have long been In the air. Since the outbreak of the Russo Japanese war the warm personal friendship always existing between the two monarch! has been kn!t closer ann tne many ma terial tokens of friendship manifested by Oermany during the war compare with the lukewarm support of France, which was limited by Its new-found entente with Oreit Erltain. has hullded up a strong Ger mancphile sentiment In influential quarters tn St. Petersburg. At tho same time much of the necessity to France of the Franeo Russinn nlliunte vanished when France clasped hands with Great Rrltaln and prac tically, assured Itself rf an ally In case of war. The present relations between Oermany and Russia were also the text of an ad dress delivered by Ambassador von Schoen before the Oerman residents of Bt. Peters burg, who assembled this evening In honor of Emperor William's anniversary. He poke with confidence of the amity existing between the two nations. Among the callers at the German embassy today to offer their congratulations on the emperor's birthday were Mr. Meyer, the American ambassador. Foreign Minister Lamsdorff also called In person.

Many people suffer from dyspepsia and do not know It. They feel mean, out of aorta, peevish, do not sleep well, do not have a good, keen appetite, do not have tha Inclination and energy for physical or mental work they once had, but at tha want time do not feel any particular pair, or distress in the stomach. Yet all this Is tha result of poor digestion, an Insidious form of Dyspepsia which can only be cured by a remedy specially Intendod to cur It and make the digestive organ act naturally and properly digest the food aten. Bitter, after-dinner pill and nerv tunics will never help the trouble; they don't reach It. The new medical discovery doe.

Thlp afternoon Kinc Alfonso took Prin cesses Menry and Ena for an automoblls ride, visiting St. Jean de I.nx and Hendaye. The young king's assiduous method of courtship has everywhere been greeted with sympathetic enthusiasm. On returning from the automobile trip at 5 o'clock King Al fonso sent to a leading Jeweler for a heart shaped locket set with brilliants, which he presented to Princess Ena. CHINESE STAND FIRM (Continued from First Page.) lightened and educated of the Chinese of ficials are not ami-foreign and are dis posed to be friendly; but it Is the rank and file of the minor officials who are keep ing things stirred up. And Secretary Taft and his party would naturally meet and trust the higher official of Chlna-not the lower orders, who, after all. are the closer to tha people. It Is regarded a significant that China has dismissed the Oermen officers In Its army and replaced them with Japanese. It Is further regarded as significant that an American teiepnone company sinning a telephone exchange In China was ousted by the officials without a concession before actual business had begun, and that a Jap anese company Is now operating the ex change. It Is also regarded as significant that American railway concessions have been repurchased by the Chinese govern mentat a profit to the holders, of coifrse but nevertheless bought back and placed under native control. It Is also significant that a number of conferences have been held recently, plans being laid to prevent American railway concession not only In the province of Cheklalng. but other Chi nese provinces as well. Summing all of these things up In a single sentence and it appears to amount, to practically this: Japan Is taking the lead In the orient In matters commercial as well as military. It Is too much to say that Japan was responsible for the Chinese boycott that It was making of China a mere cat's paw to pull trade chestnuts out of the fire but It Is not too much to say that Japan will be the chief beneficiary of this antl-forelgn feeling. As for the Chi nese army. It Is already known that Japan Is extremely anxious to take the lead In the orient In mutters military and control the vast wea'th of raw material which Is known to exist In the rank and file of the Chinese soldiery. Maneuvers Surprise World. For it should be remembered that the maneuvers held In the north of China hav surprised the whole world. Thirty foreign officers were In attendance, representing the chief military powers of the globe. It Is surprising and not greatly to the credit of their vigilance that these skilled observers do not appear to have had the remotest idea of what the Chinese have been doing for tha last four years. They went up Into the north of China, they said, to witness a spectacular comedy, they returned obered by the conviction that they had assisted at what might prove a history in the far east. They saw an army which Is as yet rela tively small In number for the total num ber of men assembled did not exceed 35,000 men an army which filled them with astonishment by Its organisation. Its dis cipline. It Intelligence and Its endurance. Great Is the task which Yuan Shih-Kal and his colleagues on the Council of Army Organization have accomplished In four short years. The maneuvers, which were carried out fifty miles from the nearest bar racks, were executed under condition which put all branche of the servlc to a ever test, and from that test all of them emerged with credit and several with bril liant success. The transport and commls slarlat departments, which so often break down even in the armie of nations with ' long and continuous military traditions, did their work In a way to command admira tion. Indeed, they worked so well and the constitution of the Chinese soldier Is so sound that in spite of the severe exertions the troop underwent In the four days' maneuvers not a man required the atten tion of the doctors. The Infantry displayed Intelligence In skirmishing and the use of cover and their fire discipline. The artillery was handled with remarkable skill, the drivers and the gun teams working In a fashion which elicited great praise from the foreign officer present. The engineers did some smart bridging work, the training and detraining being well performed, the tele graphic sections showing that they fully understood their special business. There were shortcomings, a might be expected. For Instance, the horse belonging to the cavalry were poor In quantity and quality, and It In doubtful whether trained Ameri cans could have made more of these Man churlan ponies than did their Manchtirian riders. Another thing Infantry and artil lery are at present both badly armed. A decree, however, has Just been Issued which commands the adoption of the newest pat tern of the Mauser for the Infantry. The Infantry at present has at least four dif ferent varieties of rifle. The guns are smsll, of different pattern and are nut of date. ' The present army I comparatively small, but by the end of 1 It I expected that It will consist of ten divisions of some 12,000 each, with over lo.CO men In the reserve. Acting under expert Japanese military ad vice a well considered scheme of organiza tion has been drawn up for the future. I'nder this scheme It Is proposed to Incresse th number of divisions to thirty-six. It Is planned to accomplish this In ten year, or even In Ave. This would give China a truly formidable force of 4.1J,oto men, with a re serve of ., and If they are true to the sample produced In the recent maneuvers the Integrity of China will be maintained.

Wonderful Development. Should one desire to reach an acute real ization of the wonderful development of this nation let him take a railroad map of th United States. Let him note the num ber of transcontinental lines of rallrond. Let him observe that from the Canadian line to the Mexican boundary, over millions of acres of mountain and valley and desert and prairie, the Iron horse ha so grid Ironed his trail as to bring every state and territory within easy communication of tee east; and even Iowa, one of the transmls sissippt states, c-n say that it has not a seat In one of Its ninety-nine counties thnt cannot boast of a railroad. Then let him remember tho promise of a generation and how It has been fulfilled; and how the tldo of traffic flow back and forth, growing dally In volume since that eventful day. May 10, 1869, when the Atlantic and Pacific were finally welded by the driving of the golden spike at Promontory Point, In Mor mon Utah, uniting the lines of the Union and the Central Pacific railroads. However, It I not alone the railroad de velopment of the west of which I fain would peak; it Is rather the upbuilding of Amer ican manhood, of American Institutions, the rise of sturdy Americanism In every sense of the word. Good Reasons for Sonatina;. But It Is not left for me or any other transient tourist to blow the horn of the golden west; neither Is It left for the native sons. Every westerner by adoption, no matter how recent his migration, feels It his duty to preach tha glories of his section of the republic; and why shouldn't he? Has not nature been lavish to him? Is he not endowed with a surplusage of land and all that arises therefrom; with a climate that upbuilds and restores the mental and bodily energies dwarfed so pitifully in his fight for existence in the east? It is In the west where the "adver tising agent" of the railroad flourishes, where every town has Its board of trade, whose watchword to every visitor Is: "My boy, the urtrhstrlng Is out. Come In and be merry. What Is ours is yours, and be not fearful of the cost; for we have plenty and to spare." Class distinctions ar not fostered In the west, and the sons of her millionaires would rather discuss the good points of a horse than the latest development In golf. Out there men know their own country. Its achievement and Its possibilities; they do not dote on everything with a Piccadilly tamp. They live close to mother earth, do these men of the plains and of the mountains, and their chests are strong, their shoulders broad and their faces ruddy with the glow of health. And after what I have seen, sketched so Impressionlstlcally as it may be In nothing more than a streak across the continent and back, I find myself impelled to utter again the words of the famous Greeley: "Go west, young man, go west.'" Annihilating; Distance. The tourist who makes his first Journey Into that region beyond the Missouri, not to speak of the Rocky mountains or the "Slope," will encounter almost as many things to Interest him aa he who makea hi maiden visit to Europe, We of Pitts burg, situated midway between New York and Chicago, generally associate the latter city with the breezlness of the wild and woolly west; yet let us stop to think. Omaha, one of the great gateways to the west. Is Just 488 miles beyond Chicago; Denver, the "Queen City of the Plains." Is 1,067; Ogden, l.iDI; Salt Lako City, 1.(30; San Francisco, 1,833, and Los Angeles t,39. Therefor in the vernacular of the pave, when the distance between Chicago and Los Angeles Is covered In sixty-eight hours one finds that he has "to go some." Still, to quote Mr. B. L. Lomax, the genial passenger agent of the famous Union Pacific, "the time is easy" on the Overland route; and the travel I Just as easy as the time. In marked contradistinc tion to the conduct of some of the principal eastern railways Is the solicitude exercised by most of the western roads for the care and comfort of their passenger. Electricity Is now used to a marked degree In the light ing of trains, and little berth lamps in soft- tinted globes permit the traveler to care fully undreea when he retires and to read himself to sleep should Morpheus prove tardy In his wooing. The current Is gen erated by a dynamo In th baggage car, whose engine Is fed with steam from the locomotive directly ahead. No unsightly signal rope I seen to run from car to car, the communication aboard being done by merely pressing a button. But perhaps the most distinct achieve ment In the adoption of modern conven ience I the establishment of a dally tele graphic news service on moving trains. Tha most serviceable exemplification I have of this waa the receipt of a full aocount of th recent bank crash In Chicago at 10 Su on the morning of the development of this new Item, when, through th courtesy of the Associated Press, a 1.500 word account In "flimsy" was passed through th train for the benefit of those aboard. A Reed Bmoot. th Mormon United State senator from rtah who case, by th wy, I (till In th hand of th commute on privilege and elections was on th train I waa en abled to hav a pleasant talk with him on th significance of th crash, a well a on th prompt and eommendabl manner In which th it nation waa taken held of by th comptroller of th currency and th I gnat servlo ruderd Immediataly Vy th associated bank of Chicago. Through the aid of the mlmeographlc system the new bulletin ar received by telegraph along the route are printed and distributed twlc dally, unless the item be cf great Impor tance, when It is printed and circulated at once. rirlllty of Railroad Men. What prompts it I do not know, but any traveler through the west will tell you that the courtesy of the railway employes Is generally In Inverse ratio to the Incivility of the trainmen of the east. Any question prompted by the scenery along the route always meets with a graclou response. I approach the subject In a somewhat ag grieved manner, for I remember distinctly that on leaving Chicago for my return to Itttsburg the Pullman conductor Insisted on my signing mileage on the platform. When I asked whv I could not sign It on the train I was given the curt reply that J It could not lie signed there because It had to be signed on the platform; and when I entered the smoking compartment of the sleeper the only two available chair were occupied, the cushioned seat along side the partition being curtained off and made up a a berth for the porter, although the hour was yet early. Some road make It a prac tice of taking better care of the porter than of their passengers. In the dining arrangements, too. nothing I left undone which would prove conducive to the comfort of the traveler on th west ern lines. Not only do the menus comprise all the substantial and delicacies, well cooked and served, but the dining cars are richly furnished as well a decorated with Just for what he orders. One la struck, too, with the unfailing politeness of the waiters and the dining car conductor; the latter functionary making It a point to extend his solicitude to every patron, regardless of the size of the check. Train F.qnlpment and Cost. When a new train, entitled the Los An geles Limited, was put on by the Chicago Northwestern, the Union Pacific and the San Pedro, Los Angeles A Salt Lake a little over two weeks ago, the members of the specially Invited party of press repre sentatives aboard were treated to some features of modern railroading calculated to open their blase eyes. Twenty thou ' dollar would erect a respectable mansion, yet the most of the time of the railroad's guests waa spent in a combination buffet smoking and observation parlor car, which cost as much as this before it was pulled out of the Pullman Bhops. Two of those trains are operated every day In the year, one of them leaving Chicago at 10:05 p. m., the other leaving Los Angeles at 2:46 p. m. These trains are standard palace and tour ist Bleeping Pullman cars. The Inaugura tion of this service meant the special con struction of nine such trains. Involving an Initial outlay of nearly $1,000,000 In train equipment alone. That the cost of operation of one of those trains Is an enormous Item may be con jectured from the fact that In the 2.309 mlle run from Lake Michigan to the coast these heavy trains must surmount an alti tude of nearly 7.200 feet, from a height of 588 feet above sea level at Chicago, the Initial point. This climb may be realized when It is learned that the Pennsylvania railroad In crossing the Alleghenles has to ascend not more thsa 2.000 feet from an al titude of TOO feet at Pittsburg and almost every one knows what the grade la on the famous "Horse Shoe curve." When the transcontinental train reaches Los Angeles It has descended to a bare 266 feet above the level of the Pacific. Small wonder It Is then that the eye or tne connoisseur in me- i chanics gazes in admiration upon the mon ster locomotives of the latest Pacific type turned out by the Baldwin shops for the draught of these heavy tralna across the Rockies and the Sierras; and even the ama teur In railroading can see from the obser vation car as the train speeds along that the roadbed Is perfect, the grades and curves as easy as they could possibly be made, the ballasting all that could be de sired and the locomotion as even as though the train were propelled along a glassy sur fsce as smooth as that of a tranquil pond. Tet the 2,Ju9 miles from Chicago to Is Angeles are covered with sn average of about thirty-five miles to the hour. Of course this comparison suffers with the fifty miles per hour maintained by the elghteen hour trains of the Pennsylvania and Lake Shore railroads between New Tork and Chicago, hut It must be remembered that these roads have reached the utmost perfec tion In railroad development; that much of the right-of-way Is occupied by four tracks i and none of It by less than two; that the distance on which the speed Is maintained I j approximately but miles, ...Inst the 2.3CO miles of transcontinental roadway 1 tinder discussion, and of these 2.3O0 mile by 1 hi. rn.. tat nt it I. 4nnhi ir.k But they are learning fast how to railroad In the west. VIENNA'S VIEW POINT (Continued from First Page.; crown; had they not had the wisdom and courage to persuade their more Chauvinistic fellow-countrymen to desist from an en deavor which would wreck the compact and with It Hungary' chance of prosper ity, Hungary never would have ecured well nigh forty years' of prosperous tranquillity, It Is claimed that It is true that the Chau vinists wer appeased and the crown was hoodwinked by the deliberately ambiguous wording of clause 11 of law X II. of 1M17. Th present dispute Is said to be a consequence of the expedient then adopted. In replying to Count Andrassey, hi opponents assert that If the Hungarians have now thought fit to raise a claim which their wisest lead era then waived, it doe not follow that the king Is hound to yield a right which then, as now, he regarded as of capital Im portance for the future of the dynasty and the unity of his dominions. AVhat 1 likeli hood there Is that he will yield may lie Judged from several utterances publlshej by the conservative Cutliolle Vaterland. a Journal which enjoys special source of In formation. In reply to a suggestion that he might subject his constitutional military prerogative to the control of a parliament ary majority In one-half of his dominion, the king Is reported to have said: ' 'Any- thing rather than that." Then, It la added, that he remarked with emphasis: "I have kept, and want to keep, my coronation oath. But If they make It Impossible for m to keep it, I cannot be held responsible."

NO ATTEMPT TO POISON PUBLIC MIND Attorney for trmiiir A Cm. laalsta that Government I Try I ear to Create Prejndlee Aaralnet Indicted Mea. CHICAGO. Jsn. JT John S. Miller, coun sel for Armour & Co. in the trial now progressing in the federal court, gave out the following statement today with refer. ence to the correspondence given out at Washington yesterday by the Department of Justice, in connection with the chsrge that George W. Brown, counsel for Nelson Morris A Co., had paid out money to two newspaper men In an attempt to procure a biased report of the court proceedings. "The first knowledge or information, di rect or Indirect, coming to us of this al leged incident was received from the press of this morning. This is said with au thority on behalf of every person con nected with th Armour house, a well aa myself. Moreover, any atatement or sug gestion from any source that any efforts whatever have been at any time made or countenanced by us, directly or Indirectly, 'to poison the public mine, by the dissemi nation of false and misleading statement or In any other way, with respect to th attacks of the government upon the pack era Is baseless. We have at all times been the victims of the poison. If th carefully staged methods resorted to of presenting this alleged Incident to the public at a time when the current trial In the court here is going on appears ob viously to suggest an effort, not only to poison the public mind against us, but to affect this trial to our prejudice, we should like to add the fact that we were not given the least opportunity before such publica tion of showing that we had no connec tion with the Incident or knowledge of or intimation with respect to It, during the three or four weeks that the representa tive of the government claim to hav knowledge of It. When the United States attorney and Commissioner Garfield laid the matter before Judge Humphrey at his rooms Mr. Morrison did not Inform us thereof or give us an opportunity to be present. We first learned of this from the letter of the United States attorney to th attorney general published this morning." Edward Morris of the firm of Nelson Morris & Co. also gave out a statement "denying positively and unequivocally thnt any one connected with Nelson Morris & Co. knew anything whatever about the oc currence and had absolutely no connection therewith." . W. J. Hynes, attorney for Swift and Company, in a statement made tonight, says: "The first time thst I or the pack ing company I represent heard of or knew anything about this matter was from this morning's papers. The charge or Intima tion that the money gifts made had any relation whatever to the trial or the case of th packers la preposterous." OMAHA HIGH SCHOOL NGTES The last week at school has been a strenuous one for both pupils and teachers and the respite given to all concerned by the cessation of examination la exceedingly welcome.

It has been generally conceded that the method employed thla yesr In giving ex amination was the best used thus far. All were given the same question at the same time, thus eliminating any possi bility of gaining any unfair advantages on the part of the ptipiln. Furthermore, all possibility of partiality on the part of the teachers was done away with by the system of identifying all examination papers by numbers. No names appeared on any of them. Tho various literary societies omitted their regular meetings on Friday afternoon on account of the early hour of dismissal of school snd also on account of the upset condition or tntngs preparatory 10 i the opening of the new term.

Miss Helen adellk favored the chorus with two vocal selections, "My Own I'nlted States," by Edwsrds. and "Who Is Bllvya?" by Shu bert, which were hesrtly applauded.
