Nov. 2t. -European politics seem to have taken on a more peace ful aspect, which may not be a mere lull before a storm. The causes of general unrest and uneasiness are far from having been removed, and this is why it is rather hard to be lieve that peace has come to last. Inside the various countries disturb ance? are reported from almost every ysv of Europe. The Greeks nre as restless as ever. Frnn Spain alarming rumors of rev olution 'are coming daily, and it is nrr more than two days since it v'!s j reported on tne isenm suk-k ti change that King Alfonso bad been raurdWed. This much at least is be vond anv doubt the anti-monarchical propagaika in Spain has been going .n wh,h greater fervor and success than ever since the revolution in Lisbon.

Turkey's desire for a war with Greece has suffered a serious set back by the rapid spread of cholera anion gthe troops who took part in the recent manoeuvres, which by many were considered a rehearsal of the war that, was to come. From fifty to eighty fresh cases ot chilera amon gtue 'soldiers are reported every day. and nearly two thirds oi the patients die. The sanitary inspector demands the erection or' a tenmorary cholera hospital for the isolation of suspect ed cases, or which the nuroner is daily increasing. A military sanitary commission is now sitting to consider the measures to be taken. The cholera has broken out at Adrianonle, and Bulgaria has re-established the iquarantine against Turkey. There have been twelve deaths at Tonzla. which is twenty ! mites distant from the capital, and ten at Rodoston. l In June. 191 o. the Kaiser will cel ebrate- the silver jubilee of his reign and his royal subjects are already riiccTissiPfr a suitable present which J . . , . . t 1. : ...... ponai yacnt wnicn is to ne " jf-. sonal propertv and which will com pare favorably with czar Nicholas' "Standart" or the King of England's ..Viotoria and Albert." The promoters of the scheme point out that not onlv is the 'Hohenzol- lern." the present imperial yacht, any thing bui up-to-date boat, but it be long to the navy, and is. therefore, not exclusively at the Kaiser's dispo sal. The kaiser is indeed very often criticized for using it for his pleas ure trips, verv much as President Roosevelt was blamed for using the Mayflower, as if it had been his own property. It is thought that the money to ti.nil.l a palatial Yacht can easily be welcome. Prince Henry of Prussia is eagr to become an expert . aviator and has secretly been practising with an aeroplane of German make for sever al weeks on the aerodome at Gries heim near Darmstadt,- but when the imperial aviator practices tne aia tion ground is entirely surrounded by strong cordon of soldiers, so that no ordinary citizen has so far seen the kaiser's popular brother in the air. The continued pressure of the meat famine, and the consequent growth of popular discontent, have made a breach in Germany's protective walls. The liberal ministry of the grand duchy of Baden has persuaded the reactionary imperial official to per mit the introduction of live cattle for slaughter from France to the Bad en towns, and since Alasce-Lorraine must open its foreign frontiers' to permit the passage of live cattle to the grand duchy, the people of the Ileichaland arc pretty sure to demand that they also should be given the same reiicf. The Agrarians and strict protec tionists are furious. They see in this concession the thin end of the wedge. tuwwii.i iue ui inc au.-u ministry demand is chiefly- due to Herr Borman. whose same political attitude was the main, cause of the famous vote in support of the gov- rnln ;;i;m hZ7;h ;t,lMd. therefore, let Valladares reign in tho Magdeburg congress between the Southerners and the Prussians social ist; Inspector Dew Has Resigned London, Nov. 26. Chief Inspector Dew, of Scotland lard, whose fame has been before the public so promi nently in connection with the Crippen trial and many other important crimi nal cases, has tendered his resignation, and will retire in about a month's time, after over 2S years service in the force. Inspector Dow intended to retire some time ago, but as the Crippen case had been placed in his hands he stayed on at Scotland Yard to see its conclus ion. Inspector Dew first came into prom- mence at the.time of the "Jack the Rip per' crimes. For his- services in rela tion to these cases he was promoted to the rank of detective-sergeant. Since that time rapid progres-3 has marked hie career until he came to one of the foremost positions in the serviceAfter some years as inspector at Bow street he w-as four years ago appointed a chief inspector in succession to Frank Forest.' Chief Inspector Dew has- cleared up several difficult, murder cases and ex posed many huge frauds.. One of his triumphs was to secure the conviction of a clever swindler named Nicholson, who obtained thousands of pounds by a clever advertising method in. connec tion with the solving of easy puzzles. When the Druce case was in prog ress in 1908, Mr. Dew arrested at Sis ters avenue, L-avender hill, Miss Rob inson, the Australian witness-, on a charge of perjury. While he was at Hammersmith, In spector Dew broke into a flat in Ful ham Road and arrested "Harry the valet," one of the most expert jewel thieves in the country, who stole the Duchess of Sutherland's jewels, worth $100,000 from the saloon carriage at the Gare du Nord.

C., Nov. 2o. Gener al Jose Maria Valladares. the turbu lent revolutionist of Honduras, has at last reached the end of his opera houffe career. The general is now a member of the "Down and Out Club." but the question that is bothering the state department officials is "Can Gen. lose Maria, etc.. come back?" "There never was anything so. really comic in the world as General Valla dares' revolutions,"' state department officials will tell you. and in fact the tales of the actions of the Honduran chieftain, as they have filtered out from Tegucigalpa, the Honduran capital. and Ampala. the general's sti'onghold, would convince almost any one that the doings of the general, if stagea. would prove a deemed comic opera success. Amapala, the Pacific coat port of Honduras, occupies an island 20 miles from the mainland. It is fortified as fortifications go in Honduras. The few boats that make Hp the Hon duran navy three barges, an ancient tug, two little launches are under the jurisdiction of the commandant of the "fortifications" at Amapala, who is also governor of the island and "boss' of the city. In addition, he is customs collector. Four years -ago, early in 1907. Gener al Valladares decided to "revolute." "His ambition was to conquer Hon duras and incidentally to reign as "conqnerer of all the Central Ameri can republics.'' He revolutioned suc cessfully by taking command as the "boss" of Amapala. The government, at Tegucigalpa, was glad the general was satisfied. It had neither monejr. soldiers- or navy to attack Amapala ' peace, lie collected the customs du ties making them what he pleased. The yearly revenue from this source is said to be considerable. All of the provisions, machinery for mining, etc., pass through the j port of Amapala. With the customs receipts the general "built up'' an army of devoted, tireless- warriors. Soldiers to the num ber of 400 enlisted under his standard, and, better yet, stayed enlisted, for lhey received their pay every day 10 cents in United States money to the man. The "army" w-as a wonderful thing and never before in the history of Central American revolutions has its like been seen. Everybody who sol diered for a living wanted a job in his army.- The general had his pick of recruits. Events moved rapidly for the gen eral. His- success was heralded throughout Honduras and the Central American states. . He was the ad mitted "boss"' of Amapala, and gov ernment did not question his title. He kept all of the revenues and reigned supreme. His soldiers were devoted. It is said that the general was, held in gre?.t tear. An official of the state depart ment who knew the boss of Amapala described him as a little old dyspeptic man, constantly .ill .of chills and fev er. His soldiers did not fear personal violence, but dismissal, for, unless they soldiered for General Valladaros the prospects of joining another army which paid wages were remote in-( deed. : A year ago, however, . the . general took it upon himself to assume nation al importance.- His- reign at Amapala filled him with ideas of making the rest of Honduras part of his domain. He struck a popular chord when ho began to abuse, intimidate and threat en foreigners who lived ' in Amapala, and to raise the customs duties on im ports. To show his contempt for the United States- he . christened his yel low dog "President Taft." Then he be gan to get real frisky and ordered his soldiers to "bully" the foreigners. The United tSates- stepped in then. Complaint was made ' to this govern ment about the . general's conduct. These came from foreigners at Ama pala, who were 'mainly Germans; The Americans there are few and Ameri can interests nil. The complaint ' set Of H Vanadates Near Career i ! to; the state and navy departments working.

When Amapala was reached General Valladares' fear of the Ameri- can gunboat had evidently passed away. No sooner was he back in Amapala than he placed his sue1 cessor under arrest and shipped nim back to the maimand. It looked for a few clays as if Gener al Valladares' was 'to reign on forever, but the fine Italian hand of" diplomacy soon showed itself. President Davila issued a decree closing the port of Amapaia, declaring that it was in the hands of revolutionists. The Hondu ran government sent a detachment of troops down to the coast and develop ments were patiently awaited. The port, being closed, "no ship ments came through." There was noth ing on which the general could levy duties-. He had no income. "What .mon ey he had-was daily dwindling" as he made his evening payments to his soldiers. He did not dare attempt a seizure of funds or provisions in the warehouses of the foreigners, for he was politely notified that Amapala would be shelled and that he would be shot if any move was- made against the foreigners. The notice carne from the commander of the German gun- boat Bremen and Commander Ander son, of the Uinted States gunboat Yorktown, - which had. in the mean time, relieved the Princeton. i he general was m dire straits. His army, seeing that the funds of their leader were growing short," became restless. General Valladares decided upon a - bold stroke to retrieve confi dence. He s-ent ashore a detachment of 150 soldiers tp rout the government troops encamped on the coast. The de tachment went ashore in barges, and did not return. When they landed they marched to the encampment of the government soldiers and surrendered. To make matters worse, one of the offijeers of the Valladares force went on a debauch.' He drank so much li quor that he shot a telegraph operator, a foreigner, in the foot. Almost before the echo ot the &hot died away, blue jackets from the'.. Yorktown and the Bremen were being sent ashore. They took command of the situation and while the Unted States sailor boys guarded the general, who feared the vegenance of his unpaid soldiers, the German sailormen went around, col lected and stood guard over the guns with which the troops of the general had been armed. There was no disorder. The foreign, as well as native, residents of Ama pala looked on an .ex joyed the whole scene as one huge farce. President Davila was advised of the develop ments and as General Valladares promised to be good -it was decided to simply deport him. A new . com mandment, one loyal to the govern ment, is now' holding down the "boss" job at Amapala ; ; the port : has . been opened; customs collections are being made daily; the army is being paid once in a while and General Valladar es is off seeking rest and re crea tion. ' - - "If he comes back and agrees to pay the soldiers every day," said the de partment official, "he surely will be welcomed -by-the soldiers. Rhode Island: Factories r Busy. ' Washington, Nov. 26.

Stiange Light is Thrown on Killing Berlin, Nov. 26. A strange light is thrown on the killing of a score of Transkei Kaffirs. w7ho were, of cour&e, British subjects in southwest Africa, by the papers which have just arrived here from the colony. The German Southwest African Times gives the fol- lowing account ot the . occurrence, which took place at WiThelmsiahl, on the line between Karibib and Wind- works management at last adopted tha sharp measure of withholding rations j and what was &till more drastic, wa- ter. This measure of the management lied to the .jeopardizing of the whole neighborhood, and espeeiallj' 01 tne larmers. "On October 4th disputes again arose between the laborers and the white overseers, and, it is alleged, de generated into acts of violence. It is also said that a policeman who was about to arrest one of the ringleaders was assaulted. This was the occasion for the calling in of the Sixth com pany under Captain Willecke, which was engaged in the, neighborhood to protect the threatened officials. The Kaffirs who were armed with kiris, sticks, and loaded cudgels, are stated to have now attacked the soldiers so that there -was nothing for the latter to do but to make use of their wea pons, in the first place of bayonets. "Shooting . is understood to have been resorted to s-ubsequently. The result was 14 dead and a larger num ber of seriously and slightly wounded on the side of the blacks. "The Kaffirs in question were em ployed by -the firm of Orenstein and Koppel. which has contracted for the construction of the line between Kar ibib and -Windhoek.' .Until the above ac count was received the German Press had shown a very marked inclination to resent the British desire for in vestigation of this affair. Bakeis Interested In Sutt At Bordeaux Berlin, . Nov. 26.- Every baker here is interested in a lawsuit brought at Bordeaus. The sale of bread in this country is regulated by statute since the second empire. A maximum price for the ordinary loaf is fixed by law, and common bread as- distinguished from fancy bread, must be strictly sold by weight. Does the power of the sta tute extend to the franchises of the bread? , A customer entered a Bor deaux bakery and asked for one half penny worth of fresh bread. The baker said he'lmd no new loaf ready but offered instead stale bread, rolls, etc. The customer wanted none of these but one hal-penny worth of new bread jut from the loaf. Tle baker refused to cut a new loaf to sell only one half penny worth of it. The customer as serted that he' was bound by law to sell whatever amount of bread was asked of him without reason, the one halfpenny worth was within reason, and that the bread mentioned in the act meant bread baked on the day, and not "on any previous day. The baker replied that the law spoke of bread in general, and said nothing of new bread, and he again offered stale bread the customer thereupon retired with his half-penny and brought his action.

Paris, Nov. 25. Every day brings new disclosures, which tend to show that not only was M. Briand's drastic acts and firmness during the recent strike the only thing which saved France from a revolution very similar to that of the Commune in 1871, but also that preparations for a revolution arc being made all over the country and the outlook is very dark, indeed. It has just become known that if M. Briand, during the strike, had not issued urgent orders to arrest the mo tor cars sent out all over the country by the railway strike ieaders there would have been a complete collapse on all the lines. The conspirators will not he caught napping a second time. It appears the Prefects are becoming nervous at the growth of the revolutionary pro paganda in their departments. During the recent debate it looked out that their reports to the government were ominous in this respect. At Lyons, Marseilles. Toulon, and Brest; in the coal districts of fhe north,' the metal districts of the east, in the wine-growing districts. in indus trial districts generally, there was the same restlessness. Everything ap pears to point to a great upheaval, and the measures about to be adopted in Parliament and intended to disfran chise railway employees from their "right to strike" are scarcely likely to improve the situation. It is very easy to scatter a bag of feathers to the winds, but very diffi cult to put them back again. The selection of M. Leferre as Min ister ot Labor m tne reconstructed, cabinet has caused no end of surprise. If M. Briand wished to create a sen sation, he has done so. Either it is a, masterstroke, or it is an act of folly. M. Laferre was grand master of the Freemasons in 1904 and in that ca pacity strenuously defended in the Chamber of Deputies the saving-sys- j tern practised in the army, under the ( name of fiches, that brought, so much obluquy in the hands of M. Combes and Gen. Andre. The war against the church and the church school, was ( in great measure inspired and j ted by him. I There are few names more odious in Nationalist circles than that of M. Laferre. Unless, therefore, the inclu sion of this gentleman in the cabinet has some unexpected meaning, M. Briand will have alienated the whole body of Moderate Deputies, whose sup port, one had thought, it was his anx ious purpose to secure. It is, of course, possible that M. Le ferre, like M. Briand, will "evolve;" become). in fact, quite another man as minister. ' The opposition on that ac count are prepared to give him an other chance. But if he disappoints! expectation, the Briand cabinet is doomed. The minister may resist the defection of two hundred deputies on the left; a similar blow from the right would be fatal. The French government is deter mined that the French army shall be first in the world in the matter of aerial craft and equipment. At no dis tant date the army will possessess no fewer than fifty aeroplanes and a doz en dirigible balloons. With a view to encouraging the ma kers of aeroplanes ,to continue their experiments towards perfecting these machines, the government has now decided to offer a sum of $250,000 for competition between firms building aeroplanes. A great examination and testing of the craft entered during the next year will be held in October, 1911, when the prize money will be distributed. Each aeroplane entered will be bought for the French army, and $20. 000 will be given to the maker ih ad dition. He will also receive an order for ten aeroplanes of the same type, at a cost of $8,000 each. No dirigible balloons are to be en tered, the French government appar ently having decided to concentrate on aeroplanes. ' The chances of French pretenders are better than they were, and on that account the marriage of Prince Napoleon attracted considerable no tice. The seclusion of years is now to be broken, and the newr menage will encourage with all the splendor of the splendor of court life. Princess Clementine will be looked up to as the "Empress" by many thousands of the French people, and the appoint ments of her dame.s d'honneur are in teresting, even outside society cir cles. One of three noble ladies chosen is the grand-daughter of the Due de Bas sano, Napoleon Ill's Lord High Cham berlain. Mile de Bascsano's mother was a Canadian and her childhood was spent in the neighborhood of Hyde Park. The Empress Eugenie's wed ding gift was a mgnificent diadem of brilliants. The old coldness that ex isted between her and her nephew has long since, disappeared, and their re lations now are as intimate as could be desired. There can be doubt that this marriage sets the seal to better understandings. The state is the uossessor of a to bacco monopoly, as many smokers know to their cost, but its administra tion has just shown that this mo nopoly extends beyond tobacco, and, in short, to everything that can give a person who does not feel equal to nicotine, . but all the same, likes to blow an occasional cloud, an opportu nity of. indulging such a very mild taste. This illustration has been made in the case of an enterprising dame, . who, with the professed inten tion of giving - juveniles a chance . of proudly imitating their seniors, had turned out and offered for1 sale little cigars composed of cocoa leaves, and small packets of cigarettes of the same origin. The Regie got wind, of this business, and on the strength of a law dating as far back as 1S35, which forbids -the sale of "tabac fac- tice'.or sham tobam -;r proceedings against the M ' !
