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.

WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU
Pew Peopln Realize the Importance ol
uooa ingestion I ntll it is Lost.
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

lets and la a specific for dytpepsla and
Indigestion. It cure because It thoroughly
digests all wholesome food tali en Into th
Stomach, whether the stomach I In good
walking order or not.
Stuart Dyspepsia Tablets, by digesting
tit food Instead of making the wornout
toinsch $o all the work, give It a much !
needed rest, and a cur or dyspepsia I th
natural result.
, M.'hen ;-eu are nervous, run down and
wk-epless, don't make the common mistake
o A supposing your nervous system needs
treatment and fill your stomach with pow
erful nerv tonics, which make you feel
good for a little while, only to fall back
farther than ever.
Tour nerves are alt right, but they are
starved: they want food.
Nourish them with wboleanm. very-day
food, and plenty of It. well digested, and
yoU can laugh at nerv tonic and medl
cio .
But th nerve will not be nourished from
a weak, anusea stomacn, nut when the di

blessed with a vigorous digestion aud good
appetlt being troubled with their nerves?
Good dilution mean a strong nervous
system, abundance of energy and capacity
to enjoy the good thing of life.
Stuart Dyspepsia Tablets will certainly
set your stomach and digestive organs
right; they can't help but do It, because
they nourish th body by digesting th
food eaten and rest th stomach.
Yu get nourishment and rest at one and
th same time, and that Is all th worn

giv new life to every organ and an added

time to meet the queen-mother, who ar
rived thete from Madrid.
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

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

that If the Hungarians have now thought
fit to raise a claim which their wisest lead

might subject his constitutional military

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.
Many have been made happy by
the successful termination of their work
and a few mourn the losses they have sus-
talned. Although no definite information until the three-quarter pole, when Sir Bril
may yet be had as to the total percentage ' lar began to falter and fell back beaten.

Friday waa devoted largely to the assign
ment of classes to the pupils. No grades
were given out, as had been expected.
This latter matter was deferred until
Monday.
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
