Twelve million people are protected
by a fleet of two dispatch vessels, two
unarmored gunboats, each carrying
one four-ton muzzle-loading sun and
four small breechloaders, and five sec

manned by 90 officers and 500 men.
In Japan special car 6 is taken so
that the children of poor people may
not become lost on the streets. There
are no nurses to look after them, and
the mothers, in order to have the lit

labels around their children's necks.
These labels bear their names and ad
dresses.
When Lord Curzon the viceroy of
India, travels, he is usually accom
panied by Lady Curzon and 120 at
tendants. Great precautions are tak
en to insure his safety, and everything
is done for his comfort. In Southern
Punjab the railroad linp is Watered
to lay the dust. At his d 'stlnation he
is received with extraordinary cere
mony.
Of all European monarchs the czar :
is the greatest believer in life insur- j
ance. Within a week of tne birth of ,
his eldest daughter, the Grand Duchess I
Olga, the little mite was insured for j
$2.00(1.000 with Russian, British and
French companies. The czar is him- j
self insured for $4,000,000, but $2,000,- j
<IOO represenfs the value of the czar- J
ina's life.
One of the most expert chauffeurs ;
in Washington is Representative Jo- j

an automobile and each morning when 1
congress is in session takes it up the j
avenue to the east front of the cap- j
itol, and then turns it over to an at- i
tendant. Mr. Sibley is so expert !
that he can cut figure eights and do '
other fancy stunts in steering the ma- |

Russian reports say that the sea of |
Aral has been steadily rising since |
1891. The sco. level is now lour feet
above that of 1874. The line of rail- :
road from Orenburg to Tashkend had !
to he changed in order to avoid being
overflowed. Instead of sinking three '
Inches a year as German geographers
had computed, the sea has been rising !
at the rate of four inches a year lor
the last ten years.

The aborigines of the Malabar J
islands employ a perfect whistling lan- j
guage by means of which they can j
communicate with each other over j
long distances. A stranger wandering !
over the islands is frequently sur
prised to hear from a hilltop the sound
of loud whistling, which is quickly re
peated on the next hill, and so is car
ried liom summit to summit until it
dies away in the distance.
The natives of Liberia, in Africa,
have r.o clocks. They take the ker
nels from the nuts of the candle tree
and wash and string them on the rib
of a palm leaf. The first or top ker
nel is then lighted. All of the ker
nels are of the same size and sub
stance, and each will burn a certain
number of minutes and then set fire
to the one next below. The natives tie
pieces of cloth at regular intervals
along the „..ring to mark the divisions,
of time.
At his auction rooms in Loudon, re
cently, J. C. Stevens sold a large num
ber of curiosities, including an Egyp
tian mummy, said to be that of the
daughter of Rameses 11., about 13oU
H. in the original sarcophagus, to
gether with Roentgen ray photographs
showing the perfect state of preserva
tion of the remains. The outfit fetch
ed !t guineas. There was also the pair
of breeches worn by George 11. at the
battle of Dettingen, wnich realized 15
guineas.
There is a curious growth of trcs
at Tilden's Point, Me. Three yellow
birch trees are growing, on a pine
stump. The tree, which was about
two and a half feet in diameter, is
thought to nave been cut down some
50 years a-.io, leaving a stump three
and a half feet high. The seeds of the
birch must have lodged on this stump,
and as they grew they sent their roots
down its sides to reach the ground.
The three trees are, respectively, five,
.six and seven inches in diameter.
A TIMELY WARNING.
Davitl It. lllH'fl Advice lo the Democ
rnev Contains Much Tliut la
rant.
There were some plain, incontro
vertible facts stated in St. Clair Mc-
Kelway's letter to the Manhattan
club, which Mr. Hill had completely
ignored when he prepared bis plan
for reconstructing the democracy by
making it, instead of a party of no
definite policy, a party of all policies
that it lias had since the sixties, says
tlie Albany Journal.
Mr. McKelway litis bis eyes open
to conditions, lie has learned wis
dom from the sad experience of his i
party's past, lie knows that the tlem- >
oeratie party cannot ever hope to
win success by resurrecting issues
that are dead, by continuing the pro
mulgation of doctrines which the
people have rejected, lie understands
that in a country whose government
is for and by the people, a party that !
asks to be intrusted with the man-'
agemcnt of the people's affairs must 1
give the people what they want, that J
it can never win their confidence and
j support by trying to force upon |
them what it wants and they do not. j
Mr. McKelway accepts the facts
that the people are committed to,
the gold standard, and to expansion,
that they are determined that free
capital as well as free labor shall j
j have its rights, that they want an •
! interoceanie canal, a navy befitting >
| the country's greatness, and it re- \
j stored commerce, and he asserts J
without qualification that the party j
which will secure to thein these j
things will be intrusted by them 1

with power, while the party- that
would keep from them the things j
mentioned which they desire will be. I
I relegated to obscurity.
And Mr. Ilill wants the party to
i declare for bimetallism, against ex
: pansion, against the right of capital
: to engage in large industrial enter- j
| prises! He wants it to take up again j
| the tinkering with the tariff that was
responsible for the last period of i
i commercial and industrial depression
! through which the country passed. '
| It is almost a wonder that he does j
i not go a little farther back into the
{ past and call for resurrection of the
! democracy's declaration that the war
| for the preservation of the union was
a failure and that reconstruction
; was unconstitutional.
Mr. Hill has shown himself to lie a
man as dangerous to the country's
interests as Mr. Bryan was in 1596 ,
! and again in 1900. The rumor that
Mr. Bryan favors his candidacy in
1904 is denied, but it would not have
been strange, if true, if we supposed,
that Mr. Bryan himself had re-j
nounced his ambition. Mr. Hill lias j
shown himself to be a man after Mr. {
Bryan's own heart.
It is well that the people of the i
United Slates have received timely
warning. They will have ample time
to prepare themselves to resist the
renewed attack upon their prosper
ity which probable leaders of the de
mocracy are contemplating.

INSINCERITY OF DEMOCRATS.
Conviction of (lie Party Kefore (hp
Ami'ririiii I'«-o|»le by It« I Iter
I tireliability.
Tlie democratic member's of the
United States senates have been ex
tremely loud and constant in their
professions of benevolent intentions
toward the Filipinos. They have in
sisted that the administration and
the republican party have been op
pressing the Filipinos. They have
denied the inght of congress to im
pose discriminating' taxes upon the
products t>C any part of the national
domain. They have held that the
1 Filipinos must be either citizens or
I subjects. On the theory of citizen
ship they have declaimed against
j taxing them without giving them rep
| resentation, says the Chicago inter
Ocean.
A few days ago the opportunity
j was presented to the indignant demo
! eratie senators to prove their be
-1 nevolence to the Filipinos. A bill
[ was to be voted onto encourage I'liil
! ippine industry by remitting ».") per
I cent, of our tariff on island products,
! and to remit certain insular taxes
| upon such products when imported
; into the l ni!ed States. Senator For- ;
Inker and 22 other republican sena
; tors thought this concession was not
enough, and Filipinos de
| served more liberal treatment. Sen
! a tor Foraker moved to amend the J
| bill by making the reduction in our j
: tariff 50 per cent.
How then did the democratic sena
| tors live up to their professions of
! sympathy and benevolence and make
their deeds square with their words?
I
Did they vote for the Foraker amend
ment and thus relieve the Filipinos '
of a large share of the "arbitrary
taxation" which they have so vigor- 1
oiuly condemned? Only six of them !
proved their sincerity by so vioting. ]
Eighteen of them voted the other ,
way.
Among those 18 democrats were 1
Messrs. Uailcy, Culberson, Dubois,
Money, Patterson, Kawlins, Teller ,
and Vest, all most acrid critics fit' the
republican policy toward the islands.'
and all constantly bubbling over with
sympathy for the Filipinos. If only
these eight democrats had voted as!
they talked the Foraker amendment |
would have been adopted. The Fili
pinos would have been relieved of j
one-half of the taxi's now imposed on i
their products at our custom houses.
Hut these eight gentlemen would not
have it.
In the United States senate, as I
elsewhere, men must be judged not |
by their words, but by their deeds.
liy their votes on the Foraker amend- j
ment is of the 24 democrats present
ate their words and repudiated their
party's declaration of policy. Their
words professed friendship and be
nevolence towards the Filipinos.
Their deeds were those of injury and
hostility.
liy its deeds is the democratic party
convicted before the American peo
ple of utter insincerity.

the speed she developed at Santiago
enabled her to take a prominent part

HIS FIRST VETO.
President Roosevelt Sends Mes
sage to the Senate.
Senate Had Voted to Kemove tlie ;
Charge o|" Desertion I'ruiii a
uar K «><•<> r<l - - l l rcMdcii ( Sayv
Mill In UnjiiHt Co Ulcii Who
Were Faithful to Duty.
Washington, March 12. —President
Roosevelt on Tuesday sent his first
veto message to congress. Jt was
directed to the senate and the bilL
vetoed was one removing the charge
of desertion from the naval record
of John Cilass. The message was as
follows:
"There can be no graver crime than
the crime of desertion from the army
or navy, especially during war; it is
then high treason to the nation and
is justly punishable by death. So
man should be relieved from such a
crime, especially when nearly 40
years have 'passed since it occurred, I
save on the clearest possible proof
of his real innocence. In this case !
the statement made by the atliant be- j
fore the committee does not in all j
points agree with bis statement made
to the secretary of the navy.
"In any event it is incomprehen
sible to me that he should have made
effective effort to gel back into the
navy. lie had served but little more i
than a month when he deserted, and '
the war lasted for over a year after- !
wards, yet he made no effort what- !
ever to get back into the war. Un- |
tier such circumstances it seems to I
me that to remove the charge of de- j
sertion from the navy and give him j
an honorable discharge would be to j
falsify the records and do an injus- j
tice to his gallant comrades who
fought the war to a finish. The
names of the veterans who fought in |
the civil war make the honor list of j
the republic; and I am not willing to j
put upon it the name of a man un- !
worthy of the high position."
After the message had been deliv- !
ered Senator Gallinger, from the j
committee on naval affairs, read the |
report of the committee on which the :
senate acted. From that statement I
it appeared that (ilass enlisted in j
January, isoi, when only 10 years of j
age, and that, having witnessed an j
act which compromised the second i
officer of the ship, he was taken !
ashore in March of that year by that j
officer and told not to report again j
for duty. The committee say that |
this order, together with (ilass' i
youth, was responsible for his deser- j
tion.
THE SEALERS' STRIKE.
It Is ICtitled by (fivinu Tlietti an Ad
vance In Wanes.
St.. John's, X. F., March 12. —The
sealers' strike here is ended and the |
sealing steamers have sailed for the j
ice floes. The men Tuesday after- '
noon refused the owners' offer of |
s:s.so for seals, besides the abolition !
of all berth charges.
As a result of this refusal, public
opinion strongly condemned the men, J
the concessions accorded by the own- j
ers being regarded as liberal. Some |
of the crews then withdrew from the
majority and decided to accept the
owners* terms. The police afforded
these men protection and enabled
the owners and crews to reach the
ships in spite of the threatening
overtures of the strikers. In the
meanwhile scores of men joined the i
.ither ships.
The aggressive strikers boarded
these vessels and drove the men
u bore, but they could not keep pace
•villi the defections. Finally the
„ linittee of the strikers, seeing I
that the situation was getting be- |
ml their control, decided to accejpt j
• lie owners' terms and ordered the |
strike off. The committee directed
:• 11 the men to join their ships and j
within two hours the ships had crews I
and were sailing to sea.
The terms of the settlement arc
that the men shall get $3.50, as j
against $.'!.2. r i last year, per hundred |
' veiglit for seals; they also get free j
berths, as against the former charge I
of $3.
A CYCLONE IN TEXAS.
»!in h Property Ilemtroyptl and Two '
People Fatally Injured.
Dallas, Tex., March 12.—A cyclone I
yesterday swept through the south
ern suburbs of Dallas and passed on
toward the northeast, levelling
fences and destroying small farm
buildings in its path.
At De Soto, 14 miles from Dallas,
three dwelling houses and two stores,
including the post office, were demol
ished. One of the dwelling houses
destroyed was that of,l. M. Johnson.
His 4-year-old daughter was so badiy |
injured that she died.
Three miles east of Dallas, the
dwelling house of T. D. Reagan was j
wrecked. The family escaped with- |
out injury. In Queen City, the ex- j
tremc southern suburb of Dallas, six I
dwelling houses were blown to pieces j
by the wind. Mrs. George Bray re- |
ceived fatal injuries. Mr. liray and j
children were seriously injured. C. i
D. Bourne, wife and child, and Al
bert Ewing and family were away
from home. Their house was literal- '
ly torn to pieces, and a negro servant I
was badly hurt. A score or more of
other houses were badly damaged,
but not wrecked. The property loss
in Dallas county will reach at least
SIOO,OOO.

Detroit, March 12.—The common
council last night granted the Co
operative Telephone Co., recently or
ganized here in opposition to the
J {el I Co., a franchise to do business, j
establishing the maximum rate at
s':■! for residence and S4B for business
phones. The ordinance contains a
provision that the company must sell
its plant to the city when the city
obtains the right to operate a mu
nicipal telephone exchange. The
council also instructed the mayor to
