LONDON, Nov. 24.— The Thanksgiv
lr:K banquet of the American society in
London, which was held at the Hotel
Cecil this evening, was a glorification
of Anglo-American friendship. Three !
hundred Americans -and their English '•
gutsts sat at a table under the en- ;
ed flags of the two nations. Two ;
notable speeches were made, one by j
Mr. Henry White, the American charge I
d'affaires, and the other by Sir Edwin !
Arnold, who was supposed to be nearly
at the point of death from paralysis,
but who dragged himself into the ban
quel hall, against the orders of his
physician, leaning on the arm of his
Japanese wife, and supported by a
cane.
J. L. Taylor, president of the society,
proposed toasts to her majesty the
queen, and to president McKinley and
F. C. Duser, the .secretary, read Presi
dent McKintey'a Thanksgiving proda
mat.
W <i Oberne, the American consul
general, in proposing the health of the
charge d'affaires, paid a high tribute
to Mr White's long services
Mr White, responding to the toast
"Thanksgiving Day," evoked enthusi
astic cheers by reference to Col Hay,
formerly American ambassador, and
TH'W United States secretary of state, j
whose presence, he gald, had been the i
chief attraction of the gatherings of
the society. Speaking of the struggle
America had been forced to wage in
the interest of humanity and civiliza
tion, the charge d'affaires congratu
lated the nation, which, in the con
test had been guided by a courage
and wLsd"m necessary to surmount
the difficulties of the crisis The war
had proved "that the flic of patriotism
burns aa brightly in the hearts of our
citizens as it ever did, and that sec
tional differences have disappeared.
AW have emerged from the conflict a
united people among the nations of the
earth, ready to assume the responsibil
ities unexpectedly thrust upon us."
ANGLO- AMERICAN UNITY.
The speaker referred to the change
which had come over the feelings of
th<> two n;itl<ms with reference to each
other as based "upon no alliance at
present, nor, l hope, to come, but upon
unity of feeling."
It would be difficult to foretell th«
ooneequences, should the two countries ;
ever decide upon joint action hi any j
part of. the world. It would be a com- !
bination difficult to defeat and tending; '
to the advancement of the human
race.
The Earl of Halsbury, the lord chan
cellor, extolled Anglo-American friend
ship, which, he said, was "not vain,
but which the race believed was a duty
to be done."
The two races, he declared, had de
•troyed the idea that it was the right 1
for one man b> make another his prop- j
t-rt.r. The American people, at the risk j
of tearing asunder the great empire j
they had founded, had determined that |
every ma* under the Stars and Stripes
Should be free. The two nations to
gether might defy the world. Their
alliance might be an idea and a dream,
but was a noble idea and a splendid
(iii'iim.
Sir Edwin Arnold cor/eluded the
Bpeech-mafeing with an address, the
manner of' which was so eloquent that
It could not be reproduced. No man, !
he said, could visit America and not '
express the gratitude, attachment and j
hopes that filled his heart. He con- j
eluded:
"Your guests salute you. Only one
who has known Holmes, Emerson,
LiOngfellow and Whitman can tell how.
Secretly and shyly, Englishmen love
America."

AUXILIARY NAVY.
Assistant Secretary Allen Reports
on the Cost Thereof.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.— A clear,
concise and businesslike statement of
so much of the operations of the navy
department duriig the war, as related
to the procurement and care of ships
and generally to the material. Is pro
vided tn the annual report of Assistant
Pecreitary Allen, just made public.
Among other dutiea the assistant eec
relary was charged with the procure
i nient of v^eeels for the auxiliary navy.
; He says that this work was managed
; with the utmost care, not only as to the
| quality of the chips, but also to the
pj-ice paid, and he corammds the in
telligence and fidelity of the board,
headed by Capi. Itodgers, which in
spected the vessels purchased. He de
clares that in making the purchases of
vesr-els the same care for the govern
ment's interests on the financial side
was exercised as would tee the case
with a private case, with an effort in
every instance to make the best bar
gain possible. In numerous Instances
the department paid very much less
than the price asked for ships, and in
ewne oases lvse than the price recom
mended by the inspection board. In
the beginning, Mr. Allen says, it was
possible that prices were higher than
could have bten secured if it had befn I
practicable to wait for competition.
Bu-t true economy and the best Inter
ests of the government made It the cor
rect poli<;y to pay a higher price for a
vessel when her servicts were vitally
needed rather than suffer the govern
ment's interests to be jeopardized by
waiting for a lower price. In leaving
this branch of his report he refeis with
pleasure to the generous patriotism of
the friends of the government, in its
time of need, naming Mr. F. August
Schermerhorn and Mr. W. R. Heapet,
who bad offered to the government
their private yachts, Free Lance and
Buccaneer, respectively.
The organization of the naval force
as well as the purchase of the ships
was conducted by the assistant eecre
tary's o/&ce f and the report shows that
cm this account buit $720,639 was ex
pended out of the appropriation of $8,
--000,000.

Him Mayor Klefer Investigates
the Case and Orders Their Arrest.
One case of killing like the Shan ley
case is enough for Mayor Klefer. He
doee not propose that the polioe foroe
which he and Lieut. Boerner are per
sonally directing shall let any more
guilty persons escape, if he obji help
it. co, yesterday, -when he learned that
R. H. WeaT«r, an agent for a sewing
machine company, had been pounded
and cut in a row at the Richelieu hotel,
Seventh and Robert streets, he did not
even confer with Lieut. Boerner, but
proceeded to the seem© of the trouble
to investigate for himself. He climbed
the blood-atained stairs, down which
Weaver was led, with blood pouring
from cute about has head, visited the
room where the flgrht tcok pLaoe, and
questioned those who knew any of the
facts in the case.
The mayor learned that Weaver was
supposed to be daiigerously hurt. He
also learned that the police had made
no arrests. Then the mayor was wroth.
He hunted up Officers Carey and Perre
and directed them to arrest the parties
"who had assaulted Weaver. The mayor
told the officers that the parties wanted
were Hairy White amd his wife. The
la-tier has been playing at the Olympic
and is billed as "Babe" Harrington.
The policeman summoned the patrol
wagon and went to the theater, where
White and the woman were arrested a
couple of hours after the trouble. White
is charged wkh assault, while the
woman is charged with assault with a
dangerous weapon. Weaver -was re
ported to have sustained a fractured
skull, but Dr. Donald, who dressed his
wounds, says his only Injuries are
severe scalp wounds.
The a£f>ault took place shortly after
trie dinner hour. Weaver says he went
to the hotel to collect a paymtrw on a
sewing machine, from Mrs. Wh.te. The
payment was refuesd, he says. White
was in the room and an altercation
over the money led to a flg-ht. Weaver
6ays White attacked him first, and that
while he was tussling- with him, the
woman struck him over the head with
a bot/tle. The appearance of the room
•howed that a lively struggle had taken
place* The stove was knocked over,
while articles of furniture were upset
and scattered about im disorder. Blood
from Weaver's wounds stained the
floor and left a trail through the hall
way, down the stairs to the street,
when he was taken to the Ryan drug
etore, where Dr. Donald attended him.
Weaver's face was bruised and
scratch d, whi'.e hs head -was cut badly
in three places. His nose was mashed,
piobably broken. Dr. Donald says. The
physician says the blows about Weav
er's face were probably made with the
fist, but that the cuts on the head
were made with some blunt weapon.
Weaver says the woman dealt the
blows that cut him with a bottle.
Weaver's most serious wound Is a long
cut. extending across the left temple.
White and his wife are held at the
central station without badl.
Weaver lives at Tenth atnd Wabaaha

The remains of Columbus probably
will be shipped to Spain on the war
vessel on which Admiral Manterola,
the Spanish naval commander here,
returns to Spain.
The United States transport Florida
is expected here at daybreak tomor
row. She will come close to Morro
castle, will be signaled, and will then
proceed to Marianao without entering
Havana harbor. The steamer will lay
outside the bar at Marianao and land
her men and stores on lighters, which
will take them ashore at the new
wharf. Gen. Greene and staff will ridg
out from the Inglaterra hotel at 5
o'clock in the morning on horseback to
receive the party and superintend the
landing.
Today's issues of the Havana news
papers announce the resignation of
Capt. Gen. Blanco, as published In the

truth of the reports in circulation that
Gen. Blanco will leave Havana in a

steamer Villa Verde.
TRUTH "ABOUT^ NICOTINE.
Some Popular Mistakes Corrected
by a Physician Who Smokes.
From the> New Orleans Times-Democrat
"I don't like to upset a cherished tradi
tion," said a doctor who Is himself a de
votee of the weed, "but the talk one hears
of nicotine saturating the system of smokers
Is mostly rot. Nicotine Is a deadly poison;
one drop of It will make a good-sized mastiff
turn up his toes, If injected subcutaneously,
and it would take precious little of it to kill
a man. The truth Is that very little is ab
sorbed, even by the most confirmed smokers.
Now and then you read of men who die from
excessive tobacco using and are found on au
topsy to be literally reeking with nicotine.
All rubbish. Nothing of the kind ever hap
yfned. Again, it's a favorite experiment to
blow smoke through a handkerchief and the
stain that Is produced Is popularly supposed
to be made by nicotine. It is really oil of
tobacco, which is a horse of quite a different
color. No, the chief harm done by smo-king
Is the stimulus which it gives to the heart.
This is particularly true of cigarette 6moiiing,
where 'inhaling' is nearly always practiced.
Each time the smoke is Inhaled it acts as a
slight spur to the heart and, needless to say,
there is sure to be a reaction. If the smoker
is in good general health h« will probably
never feel It, but if he isn't there will be
I>eriod3 of profound depression and, not know
ing the cause, he Is apt to try to brace up on
a drink, which makes matters just that much
worse. If he has organic heart trouble— a
valvular weak-ness, I mean — it's quite pos
sible that he will tumble over some day and
put his angel plumage on. Those are th»
cold facts about smoking— none other Is gen
uine."
WAYS OF WEALTH.
Millionaire* In Different Parts of
the World and Their Wayi.
From the New York World.
How many millionaires are there in
the world?
A commonly accepted estimate placea
the number of men in this country
owning $1,000,000 or more each at be
tween 4,000 and 5,000. In the world at
large there must be from fifteen to
twenty times as many, by no means
confined to the more civilized races
Perhaps there are 100,000 in all, though
this may be doubtful.
For instance, India is full of native
millionaires. Not omly the great num
ber of Indian prinoes, with their fabu.
lous hoards of state jewels, must be
reckoned In the list, but there are many
millionaire merchants in the cities
The great Parsee houses of Bombay
have as good credit as any merchant*
in the world, and their heads are fabu
lously wealthy, although like all tlu
"warm" men of the East, they liv*
very humbly.
For in one-(half of this globe, it must
be remembered, the richer a man is
the more ragged his clothes, the more
squalid his house. This device does not
save him from frequent robbery by his
rulers, or even in some oases from
murder. Turkish and Persian million
aires are not good life Insurance risks,
yet the Jews of Damascus and Te- I
heran and the Greeks of Smyrna in
clude many who could measure wealth
with the smaller American nabobs.
In Egypt wealthy men are able to
display their riches freely. Alexandrine
Greeks and Cairene Copts and Jews are
often immensely wealthy. Even in
I Morocco, Nahou the banker must be
several times a millionaire under for
eign protection, and there are others
in inland towns Whose wealth is great.
The great Chinese merchants havo
as fine a commercial reputation as the
Parsees. Not alone in China, but in
Hong Kong, the Straits Settlements
ant! even in Burmah they include in
their number many men of vast for
tunes. In Japan millionaires are yet
comparatively few, but are raipidly in
creasing in number.
In big Russia millionaires are prob
ably fewer than in little Holland,
where immense wealth is derived from
the colonial trade. France has shoals
of millionaires. Germany, once poor,
is rapidly gaining immense wealth in
shipping, trade and manufacture, and
her rich men are already legion. Aus
tria and the Balkan states have many
great fortunes. Italy's old rural pro
prietors of proud family are mostly
"land poor," but her merchants, ship
pers and manufactures are shrewd and
well provided with money. The trade
of the Mediterranean is largely in Ital
iar. hands.
New millionaires swarm in South Af
rica and Australia, because of the gold
discoveries and the diamond mines of
the Kimberly region. Mexico, the Cen
tral and South American states and
Canada have together perhaps 2,000.
Even bleak Newfoundland has one, and
he one of the most remarkable in the
lot, the famous "Czar Reid."
Finally it must not be forgotten that
Great Britain alone has many more
small millionaires — men with from
$1,000,000 to $5,000,000, who live quietly
and unostentatiously — than the United
States.
Such modest wealthy men are not.
few in New York. Most readers will
remember the stir Mr. Fayerweather'a
death made, though few had heard of
him living. About the same time a
man worth $14,000,000 died on an up
town street. He got a two or three
line "obituary note" In most of the
newspapers. The public had never
heard of him.
WOOL FROM_PINE TREES.
New Industry Abont to Be Launch
ed In the State of Oregon.
From the Ban Francisco Examiner.
Most men would as soon think of
gathering figs off thistles as wool off
pine trees, yet that is Just what the
promoters of a new Oregon industry
propose to do. Mr. and Mrs. D. A.
Cords are establishing a plant at
Grant's Pass for the manufacture of
pine needles into a fabric very like
woolen cloth. It has been carried on
in Europe for years, but never before
has it occurred to any one that in the
forest of Oregon is better material and
more of it for the manufacture of pine
wool than any place else in the world.
Mr. and Mrs. Cords are enthusiasts,
but are practical-minded withal, and
do not propose to start In on too large
a scale. They intend first to make
material of the consistency of excel
sior for matresses, after that they will
manufacture the cotton which is used
for underclothing, bandages and other
purposes where a soft and pliable fab
ric Is required. Only the inner fabric
of the needleg can be used for the lat
ter, and the process Is expensive, but
no more so than that of the manufac
ture of lamb's wool.
Mrs. Cords is familiar with the pro
cess of manufacturing fabrics from
pine needles in Germany and France,
and In a visit to Oregon something
more than a year ago it occurred to
her that the pine trees here were bet
ter suited to the process of manufac
turing than those of the continent. A
little investigation convinced her that
it would be worth while to try the ex
periment, and, with the assistance of
her hus-band, she started a small fac
tory at Grant's Pass. Machinery of
the proper kind was not to be had,
and it was necessary to send to Eu
rope for it. This caused a delay, and
when the machinery arrived it proved
useless.

MONEY DIDN'T COUNT. ;
He Would Talte No Chances, Even,
for n Goodly Fortune.
From the Washington Star.
A lawyer had come all the way from
California to pay a $10,000 legacy over
to Uncle Jerry Hopefleld, who had liv
ed all his life in a little town in Ohio,
and after breakfast two or three of us
were invited to go along and witness
the transfer. When we reached the
house Uncle Jerry was tightening up
the hoops on the rain barrel, while his
wife had gone to see a sick neighbor.
They had been fully Identified the day
before as the proper parties, and now
the lawyer said:
"Well, Uncle Jerry, I want to hand
you that money and get a receipt and
be off this morniing."
"I'm kinder busy, Just no-w," said the
old man, as he stopped hammering for
a moment.
"Yes, but I have $10,000 here for you.
I don't believe there's a man in th«
world who wouldn't stop work long
enough to sign a receipt for such a
fortune."
"ilebbe not, but it looks like rain,
and I want to git this bar'l fixed right
away. Can't you come over In about
an hour?"
"Look here, man, but did you ever
ccc $10,000 in all your life?" asked the
lawyer, as be opened the satchel and
displayed a big package of new green
backs.
"No, I never did," replied Uncle Jer
ry, as he pounded away.
'•I>id you ever have $1,000 of your
own ?"
"Lands, no."
"Never had a hundred all at once,
did you?"
"Never. Durn that hoop, but it don't
want to go on!"
"I must ask you to get this business
over as soon as possible," continued
the lawyer, as the old man kept at his
work.
"But it'e going to rain."
"Yes, buit her's your money."
"And I've got to get this bar'l fix
ed."
"It won't take over "ten minutes to
fix up our business. Run along and
fetch your wife."
"See here," said Uncle Jerry, as he
laid down his hammer and wiped the
back of his neck, "Mariar has gone
over to Blodgetfe to be gon« an hour.
Before she went she said I must tinker
up this rain bar'l."
"But can't you stop your tinkering to
hardle $10,000 in cold cash!" exclaimed
the lawyer in indignant tones.
"Yes, yes, I kin stop work; but what
about Mariar?"
"Well, what about her?"
"Why, She'd come home expectin*
this bar'l to be all tinkered up, and
if she found it wasn't, them $10,000
wouldn't hold her no more'n a tow
string would hold a hoss. She'd jest
shove me clean down among the cab
bages, and jump on the bar'l with both
feet and squash it all to squash, and
fur the next week I'd hey to walk
arcund on tiptoe and eat my meals in
the woodshed."
Hiuli Collars.
If you see a peculiarly high collar on the
well-dressed man, please understand it is
the Invention a Le Bargy, the Paris actor,
who is dead-swell, and the aspirant to th«
Prince re Sagan's title, the Prince of Chfc-
Le Bargy has a too long neck, but he has
artfully got the better of the defect, and can
make short-necked dandies look old-timely,
not to say dowdy, if men can be dowds as
well aa dudea. It Is suspected that the mar
riage of this stage favorite to a wealthy
young lady will Injure his prospects, for mar
ried actors in Paris are not sought by th»
class similar to our matinee girls. Tradi
tions, however, change sometimes, even In
France, now that divorce la possible there,
and being weddwl out of his own rank will
certainly break the Ice for this much-talked
about young man. If he continues to be
popular, and a maker of fashion, though
wedded, things have changed very materially.
