(ALLS IT A COMEDY COMMENT OF A BERLIN NEWSPA PER I'l'OV THE PEACE COX FERENCE AT THE HAGUE INSINCERITY IS ALLEGED America Given Duo Credit for the Pari Played In the Cxar's Peace Gathering: — German - American ' Trade Relations Still Causing Much Friction In the Former - Country—Butchers Oat of Business "'• - -'" ' ''" '.-; Copyrighted by the Associated Press. BERLIN. July 29.— papers, this week having been giving their verdicts on the outcome of the peace conference at The Hague, the tone of the comment of the papers favorable to the conference has been one of disappointment that so little has been accomplished, while those opposing indulge In gleeful felicitations that no more was accomplished. The Tageblatt considers that the form of ar bitration adopted marks an important step towards universal peace for the World, and adds: "Whoever knows the toilsome way in which progress of International law is made will be satisfied with this result." The Post says: "The result shows that those who had been neither too optimistic nor too pessi mistic were in the right.'' The Liberal-Boersen-Zeitung calls the final protocol a funeral oration. The Kreuz Zeitung, referring to the United States and England, says: "The nations that boasted loudest of their humanity made the stoutest resist ance to really practical humanitarian propositions." The Kreuz Zeitung further points out that, while England and the United States stood together in opposing the Vr.»positie>n of bombs filled with noxious gases, the United States backed up Eng land's refusal to abandon the- dum-dum bullet. "The platonlc declaration of the confer ence for the principles of the czar's proc lamation," the- Kreuz Zeitung continues, "introduces absolutely no change in ex isting conditions." The Agrarian Deutsche Tages Zeitung makes merry of the friends of peace, whose- cherished hopes are far from being realized. CALLS IT A COMEDY. The Socialist Vorawerts gives the con ference a parting shot, calling It a com edy. "The hardest work of the mem bers," the journal says, "was to refrain from laughing in each other's faces at their own Insincerity." The Hague correspondent of the Frank furter Zeitung says: "The American delegates are quite sat isfied with the achievements of the con ference. They played a very happy role, which they were able to do through their conciliatory position. It was chiefly due to this position of the Americans that Germany was finally won over to the plan of a permanent arbitration bureau. Mr. 1 lolls and others told the correspondent that after Prof. Zorn's speech, In which Germany's opposition to the permanency of the arbitration court was emphasized, that the situation had grown critical, and it seemed that the conference would dis solve prematurely and 'nothing be ac complished, which would have brought the odium of the fiasco upon Germany, and have the effect of affecting her in her relations with other powers." ARONS' CASE. The press of Berlin devotes much atten tion to the Axons case. Prof. Arons is a professor In the Berlin university, who lectured upon socialistic topics, and was a Social Democrat who advocated drastic measures against society, He was pros ecuted under the law making It possible for the government to dismiss socialistic professors. Under this the philosophic faculty tried Prof. Arons and declared they saw no reason to proceed against Prof. Arons. The state's attorney took the matter before the ministry, who, it is almost certain, will dismiss Prof. Arons. The papers of all parties discuss the case at gerat length. The Deutsche Zeitung says the faculty of Berlin has shown the same amount of incapacity for consid eration of state matters as was shown by some professors in treating the Danish question last year. The Kreuz Zeitung preaches the faculty with holding the Social Democrats should be treated upon an equal footing with other parties, and formulates the attitude of the Conserva tives as follows: "it is impossible to treat a "party that declares war upon the state and the ex isting social order as having the same political rights as other parties." The Dresdener Nachrichten re-echoes this sentiment, adding that the idea of political equality is against public wel fare, and hence it is the duty of judges everywhere to take into account this fact In the administration of justice. The Liberal papers side with the facul ty, holding thai their decision was the only one consistent with the freedom of university instruction. The Centrist press defends the faculty on the ground that Prof. Arons. as professor of physics, does not handle the question of socialism in his lectures. EMPEROR'S VISIT. A Westplialian paper reports that nego tiations have lie,-en proceeding between Paris and Berlin the past ten days, in reference to the visit of the emperor to Cherbourg or Brest on his return from Norway. Nothing apparently is known of such plans In Berlin, where preparations are being made for the arrival of the en tire imperial family at Withelmshohe next week. The empress Is recovering rapidly from the effects of her accident. Thursday evening she was able to witness, from the balcony of her hotel, fireworks and. celebrations in honor of the birthday of Prince Oscar. It Is rumored that the Prussian war minister, Prof, yon Gossler, will resign soon, and that he will be suc ceeded by Baron yon Gemmingen, now commanding a division at Erfurt. GERMAN-AMERICAN RELATIONS. The recent interview with Dr. Schwarz enstein has been reproduced In the news papers here with comment favorable to the United States, but the Tages Zeitung takes occasion to express distrust of the government and says: "All depends upon the means employed for preserving friendly relations with the United States. American friendship is not worth having If it must be purchased by the abandon ment of important German interests, es pecially economic advantages, or by keeping cool when German dignity is wounded." AMERICAN IMPORTS. The Solingen chamber of commerce re ports that exports from that district to the United States have fallen oft' 40 per cent as the result of the Dingley tariff. The Dresden chamber of commerce com plains loudly of the Increase of American competition, especially in manufactured articles, and explains that American su periority In the world's markets is due to the extraordinary activity of the Unit ed States consuls and to the immense capital of American manufacturing com panies, permitting the greatest possible division of labor and specialization, en abling them to produce cheaper and pay higher wages. The Americans sell at low, even cut-throat prices. but explains this by the assertion that high duties enable manufacturers to sell for high prices at home while they dispose of their surplus abroad at the lowest prices. The rate of the falling off of exports to the United States leads to the view that exportation will cease entirely, and that It will becofne necessary for German man -•-«o.vor« to build branches in the Unit libition of fresh meat from Bel laving a disastrous effect on along the frontier.

July 29.—1n consequence of inquiries from the St. Petersburg chan cellery, Germany has formally repudiated all intention of annexing Bear island and has ordered the consul at Tromsoe to in form the traveler Lerner, who recently : occupied the Island with a view to re vivifying the German fisheries there, that in the event of his action leading to com plications, he must not reckon upon any support from Germany.

The building is eighty-five by ninety feet, and 160 feet high from the lower level. .There, will be. two electric Ameri can elevators. The style of the exterior of the building is classic, and while dif ferent in design from any of the build lings at the Chicago Fair, yet the feeling there prevalent has been kept and will be in marked contrast to the present French buildings, which are not so archi tectural in treatment. The main entrance is under a large por tico which spans the esplanade, and un der this every visitor who walks to the other national building will be obliged to pass. In the center arch of this por tico, facing the river Seine will be Frenchs' statute of Washington, while a bust of President McKlnley will oc cupy a niche over the door. In the front of the building on the river bank will be a boat landing, which will be highl\ ornamental as a classic barge. All the boats of the American line which con- ADMIRAL'S UNIFORMS WHAT MR. DEWEY WILL WEAR OX" SPECIAL AND OTHER OCCASIONS IT COSTS A PRETTY FIGURE To Clothe an Admiral—First Official Description of the Dress Present ed for the Leading- Official of the Navy— Will Have Also a Cloak, an Overcoat and Regulation Mackintosh. With a fine disregard of Admiral Dewey's possible wishes the navy depart ment, after asking him to prescribe his own uniform, has proceeded to fashion one for him in the interim. Of course, the department has not the slightest intention of slighting the admiral, and it has taken the greatest care to forestall his desires, but the fact remains that history may re peat itself, and the admiral later modify this dress. When Farragut was commissioned an admiral, the style of his dress was left to his own choosing, and the modest old gentleman designed something eminently fitting his quiet tastes. So unpretentious* was his garb that it left nothing gaudy enough for his immediate junior, and the result was a subsequent order from the department directing him to cover nearly half of his sleeve with gold oak leaves. That the old gentleman was indignant is putting it mildly, and, because of his very positive stand he was allowed to retain his own dress, while his junior glorified in something showier. The distinctive markings which the de partment have chosen for Admiral Dewey, are, with one minute exception, such as Admiral Farragut chose for himself, and It is thought that this association with his old master of war may be all the more pleasing to Admiral Dewey, whose tastes- In such matters are also refined and quiet. While Admiral Dewey is on his last cruise it is highly probable that he will never need but half of the eight uniforms which the new regulations prescribe for him; but it is interesting to know how he will look when he returns to take part in the many welcoming demonstrations which await him. When calling on the president or some similar dignitary and at general muster on the first Sunday of every month, Ad miral Dewey will wear what is termed "special" full dress—the garb, in fact,, in which the accompanying . cut shows him. This is his very swellest outfit, and con sists of a double-breasted coat with white silk serge; trousers, also of navy blue , broadcloth, with gold lace down the outer seams; a goldbanded cocked hat, epau lettes, sword and full-dress .^ord belt. The coat sleeves will be adorned with two I nect with the American trolley system at Vlncennes will make a landing at this pier.' •"'- : ' ' ..' '- . '" "'"' '"- .

The commissioner general has appropriated $10,000 as a nucleus of a fund for this purpose, and it Is hoped there will be enough patriotic citizens sufficiently interested in the de velopment of mural decoration to aid in raising such a fund as will enable the United States to be properly represented In this branch of the fine arts. - • : two-inch stripes of gold lace, with a sin gle one-inch stripe between, and all sur mounted by a single star. It is in this star the distinctive marks differ from Ad miral Farragut's—his'star bearing a small frigate embroidered in silver in the cen ter, while Admiral -r ; Dewey's is plain. There will be a broad band of gold lace around the collar. His ' epaulettes, like his shoulder straps, shown at the bottom of the picture, will bear four sliver stars of five points each, the-• outer, two being superposed upon gold-fouled anchors—the anchors being the distinctive marks for an admiral, as compared;' with the four plain stars of a general. ; - There are two rows of nine buttons each down the front of this coat, and the belt rests just above the bottom two. The cocked hat is a rigid affair of black silk beaver, and is frcm 16 to 18 Inches long from peak to peak, and from 5 to 5% inches hieh on the left fan and an Inch lower on the right one. The fans are decorated with a strap of two-inch gold,lace laid on flat, and pcssing around their outer rims and under the peaks. The admiral will wear the regulation sword or that voted him by congress, which is to be given him upon his arrival in Washington city, and his belt will be of dark navy-blue cloth, embroidered on the top and the bottom edges with a gold stripe half an inch wide, and. with another stripe half as wide in the center —a reduced version of his sleeve stripes. The sword sling straps will be of the same style, only smaller. . The full dress uniform Is to be worn on all other occasions of ceremony, such, for Instance, as in making the first visit to other officers of flag rank, and on so cial occasions to which officers are invit ed in their official capacity. The coat of this uniform is like the evening dress of the civilian, and with the exception of the collar and the buttons down the front, is adorned just as the "special" full dress coat epaulettes, sword and cocked hat being worn also. On occasions of "ordinary ceremony," such as in boarding.ships of war, in mak ing the first visit in port upon command ing officers, on parades of Ceremony with enlisted men under t arms, and at the ordinary Sunday inspections, excepting, 1 of course, the first one of the month, the admiral will wear the "dress" uniform. This uniform of a frock coat, plain blue or white trousers, cocked hat, epaulettes, sword and plain leather belt. The Ad miral's belt for this dress..ls the same as that prescribed for all other officers, and Is of black grained leather of not more than two inches in width.

"service dress" uniform. This consists of a blue or white service coat, such as all of his pictures taken about Manila. show, trousers and cap to match. Th?^ service sword, belt, with sword attached, will be -worn on all duty with enlisted men under arms, or when away from the ship on service—circumstances hardly to be expected in the odinary course of tho admiral's career. The service coat is made of ordinary blue cloth, or serge, shaped to the figure, and reaching down to the top of the ln-seam of the trous ers. A slit over each hip reaches five inches on the right side and as high on the left side as the position of the lower edge of the sword belt This coat Is sin gle-breasted, with a "fly"' front fitted very plain, flat, black gutta-percha but tons and a standing collar. The collar, the edges of the coat, the side seams of the back from the shoulder to the lower edge of the skirt, and the edges of the hip slits being trimmed with lustrous black mohair braid. The admiral will wear on Ng sleeves the same gold lace prescribed for his full dress coats, and on his collar—on each side, the four sil ver stars and the two four anchors on his shoulder straps. The white, or duck, version of this coat will be trimmed with black mohair. There will be no'coliar device, but there will be shoulder marks as lately prescribed, which will be of blue cloth, lined with black silk, ."4% to 5& inches" long on the side, .2% Inches wide, with a symmetrical triangular, peak at the top, extending one inch beyond the parallel sides, fastened at the center of the peak by a " small navy button. The top of these" marks will be covered with the gold lace markings of the admiral. White braid equivalants will "take : the I place of the sleeves of the three bands j of gold worn on the other coats. Two uniforms are set for evening- wear. and are described as A and B. A will be worn in the evening, on occasions of ceremony to which the admiral may be invited in his official capacity, and B will be" worn on social occasions to which he may also be Invited in his official ca pacity. A uniform consists of an even ing dress coat and waistcoat, laced trous ers, cocked hat, epaulettes, sword and full-dress belt, worn under the waistcoat, and blue cap. In addition to the foregoing wardrobe, the admiral will have to provide himself with a uniform overcoat, a cloak and a regulation mackintosh, in addition to no end of special scarfs, cravats and gloves; and by the time he has provided himself with all these adornments which an ad miring government prescribes he will have parted with fully $2,000 of hard-won pay. .. Half of these clothes he will never wear, but he must keep them on hand for the coming of the unexpected—the bugaboo of official life, and the bane of the man whose figure will change. —C. A. L. ST. LOUIS GIRL. BECOMES RICH. Miss Marie Fleming Suddenly Made an Heiress to a Million. Miss Marie Fleming, of 4721 Pag* boule vard, St. Louis, is soon to be a million airess. The news will come as a surprise to many of the friends of the fair youny St Louisan. She has just been notified that she will come into an inheritance of $1,250,000 by the recent death of her father, W. T. Fleming, of Philadelphia. Seventeen years ago W. T. Fleming, son of David Fleming, the Philadelphia -millionaire, now . deceased, was married in Atchison to Miss Kittle Everest, the eighteen-year-old daughter of Col. Aaron S. Everest, a widely known attorney. The wedding was an affair :of state interest, but the marriage did not prove a happy one. Mr. .. and Mrs. Fleming quarreled within a few months and at the end of three years were divorced. • Their one child, Marie Fleming, was given to . the mother. She was afterward adopted by her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Ever est. " " . - .; Mr. Fleming returned to the East and in seven years married again. Mrs. Fleming married Ed Fairfield, a Kansas City traveling man, but this marriage also, resulted in a separation. Mrs. Ever, est then took Mrs. Fairfield and Marie Fleming abroad ; for the ; cultivation of Mrs. Fairfield's' voice and the education of her grandchild, ' .' Four years ago Mrs. Fairfield was mar- 5 ried to H. L. Magee, general superin tendent of the Wabash, with whom she now resides in St. Louis. Mrs. Everest, the grandmother, con tinued to care for the child and lives but three doors from Mrs. Magee Marie Fleming never saw her father to remember him,, although his mother tried in every way to obtain possession of the child. David Fleming, the grand father, however, was prejudiced against it, and before he died, in December, 1898 tried to disinherit her, but failed. Every year Mrs. Everest has taken Marie Fleming to Philadelphia, where she met her parental grandmother, but she never saw her father or grandfather. ' Miss Fleming is sixteen years old, very pretty and accomplished, and is already possessed of considerable fortune, as the late Col. Everest left her $40,000 in gov ernment bonds. Mrs. Magee said: "The dispatch from Atchison" is sub stantially correct. I do not know that any more need be said." She refused to discuss the good for-, tune of her daughter further. At the Everest residence the bell was answered by a young man, who said Mis* Fleming had retired. "I suppose the report is about right." he said. "The only hitch is that there was no will. I understand there, are several heirs to the estate, which is valued at about $3.000.000, _—_ __ Cheaper Rates Than Kver to the Harvest Hand* Laborers going to the harvest fields in Minnesota and North Dakota can this year secure cheaper rates than ever via the?
