on the Pacific coast. The utmost dif
ficulty is being experienced by the de
partment In obtaining such transports.
The coastwise trade on the Pacific Is
not large as compared with that on the
Atlantic, and a majority of the vessels !
engaged in the trade are of foreign I
register. Of course ships flying a for- i
elgn flag cannot be used as transports '
by the government, as such use would !
constitute a violation of the neutrality
laws of the nation whose Hag the ship
bore.
The war department Is now negotia
ting by telegraph with the Pacific Mail
Steamship company for the charter of
two of the company's vessels, the China
and the Colon. The Colon flies Ameri
can colors, but the China Is under the
Hawaiian flag. The difference between

satisfactory terms will be agreed upon
remains In doubt.
Last night Asslstnnt Secretary Meikle
John received a telegraphic offer from
the asrent of the Northern Pacific
Steamship company at Seattle placing
at the disposal of the department the
company's entire fleet of steamers pro
vided they be given American reglnteT.
The ships are the Taeoma, Arizona,
Olympla. Columbia, Victoria and Ar
gyll. All are British built vessels nnd
fly the British flag.
Commenting upon tbo situation which
confronts the department Secretary
Meikeljohn said:
"If we cannot get vessels at whnt we
consider fair prices, we shall be forced
to Impress such as we may need Into
the service and leave the prices to be
adjusted subsequently by a board ap
pointed for the purpose. We shall have
simply to ask congress .to give Ameri
can register to vessels that we can ob
tain. There Is no other way out of the
difficulty."
The likelihood is that the war de
partment will order such vessels of the
Northern Pacific Steamship company
as may be needed to 8an Francisco,
and then ask congress to give them
an American register in order that they
may promptly convey the waiting
troops to Manila. It Is the desire of
the department that the troops follow
ing those to be sent to the Phlliirplnes
on Suturday next shall go not biter
than Wednesday, June 1. It Is Impera
tively necessary that they be gotten to

i Gladstone is a same of power In all
the English speaking world. Not only
has the United Kingdom felt the Im
press of his genius in every part of bet
government, lull Canada and Australia,
the Cape Colony and other self govern
ing dependencies have molded theii
new Institutions largely according to
his Ideas, while In the I'nlted States ho
has had as many devoted admirers ut
In his native Island. "Grand old Man
Is his title here as well a in English
lands.
And yet the man presents a paradox
No other politician of modern timet,
none probably of any time, hnschanged
positions so often or so radically, uiei
It Is scarcely possible to find any de
fined principle lately advocated by bia
trial lie bail not at some time in tin
past assailed with vituperative elo
quence. Yet there is a certain consist
ency even In his changes. Contrury t:
nn almost universal rule among stu
dents of society and government, h
sl'adlly grew more radical us he grew
' ,,l(l"r- l,,FS cautious as he grew physl-
rally weaker, and less tolerant of cri:-
I Iclsm as tils course raised greati
armies of critics.
Mr. Gladstone entered parliament a
a Tory of the Eighteenth century stir;,
grew Into a mild conservative, held of
flee as an advanced Whig, and thci
led the opposition as a Liberal so -er:
radical that many English Il.ulica;

said to her.
"Must!" Did you say must?" she
angrily retorted. "And do you know,
