VOLUME XIV.
A Deserved Tribute to a West Virginia
Hero.
N. Y. Mail and Express.


The American nation has not for.
gotten, and there is small danger
that it ever will forget, the gallantry
and splendid seamanship displayed
by the officers and men of our naval
squadron in that fearful fight with
the tremendous hurricane at Apia.
We have been lavish also OF our
praises Of the courage and skill
shown by the captain of the English
cruiser Calliope, who, with the power
full engines of his ship working furi-
ously at their highest pressure,
fought his way, inch by inch, against
the hurricane toward the mouth of
the harbor and safety, while the
heroic American sailors on board the
doomed Trenton cheered the winning
English ship again and again.
But while we have thus given a
full measure of general praise to the
brave men on board of our own squad
ron, and while we have applauded so
generously the achievement of Capt.
Kane in saving the English Calliope,
we have not given the startling and
difficult exploit of Navigating Officer
Brown, Of the United States ship
Trenton, one-half of the particular
attention and praise which it de-
serves.
BY the aid of his powerful engines
Capt. Kane saved his ship. Lieut..
Brown, of the Trenton, did not save
his ship-that was impossible. But
he did that which was of greater
consequence. He saved the great
body of men whose lives were en-
trusted to his care from certain and
awful death. And he saved them by
an expedient so daring, ingenious
and difficult, that in not one of all
the pages of the worlds sea romances
can it's parallel be found. Marryat
or Cooper or Clark Russell would
have been ridiculed as a teller of
impossible tales, if they had dared
to picture similar incident in one
of their exciting stories.
The half-wrecked Trenton, her
sails, her rudder and her propeller
alike gone or useless, was about to
be driven, a helpless hulk, against
the reefs by the furious sea. If the
ship could be made to clear the reef
and strike upon the sandy beach,
the men on board of her would have
at least chance for their lives. If
she struck the reef they were surely
doomed.
In this emergency Lieut.. Brown,
with GOODNESS and a fertility of in
yention to which the exploit of Capt.
Kane affords no parallel, ordered his
crew of 400 men into the rigging in,
order that their bodies might in
some measure take the place of sails,
and thus avail to drive the ship clear
of the reefs and into the open water.
This most daring and unheard of ex-
pertinent succeeded perfectly. The
Trenton cleared the reef and the
great body OF her men were saved.
As an exploit in seamanship the
achievement of Navigating Officer
Brown deserves tenfold the applause
that greeted the escape of Capt. Kane
and his Calliope from the jaws of
death. 1t was indeed superb
achievement, and one of which the
memory should be preserved for all
time in the traditions of the Ameri
can navy. As for the officer who
performed it, the people and the
government alike should hold in
remembrance.
The palm of seamanship and cour-
age at Apia belongs, not to Great
Britain, but to America and Lieut..
Brown. ~

for third tenn for Governor Of

wisdom of this choice. While Fora

Editor Henry w. Grady delivered
an address at the University of Vir-
ginia n few days ago that is full OF
wisdom and warning. Mr.. Grady
breaches the individualism of the
citizen, and points to some of the
dangers arising from the centraliza-
ton of capital:
Economists have held that wheat
grown everywhere, could never be
cornered by capital. And yet one
man in Chicago tied the wheat CROP
in his handkerchief and held it until
sewing woman in my city working
for ninety cents a week had to pay
him twenty cents tax on the sack OF
-four she bore home in her famished
hands. Three men held the cotton
crop until the English spindles were
stopped and the lights went out in
three million homes. Last summer
one man cornered pork until he had
levied u tax of$3 per barrel on every
consumer and pocketed profit OF
millions. The Gear of Russia would
not have dared to do these things
and yet they are no secrets in this
free government Of ours
But he does not turn in despair
from this dark picture and propose
modified socialism, like the nation.
alists of Boston, or political chaos
like the anarchists of Chicago He
is not tired of the struggle which
must always exist as long as human
ity loves freedom Here is his rem.
edy:-
Exalt the citizen. AS the State
is the unit of government, he is the
unit of the State. Teach him that
his home in his castle, and his SOW
ereignty rests beneath his hat. Make
himself self-respecting, selfreliant
and responsible Let him lear
ON the State for nothing that his
own arm can do and on the govern
ment for nothing that his State car
do.
That is sound sense. W

Four years ago no democrat could be
found who would accept the position of

A MAN named John Mute, a resident of
Kewaunee had his upper jaw broken by
a runaway. The break was a serious one
being near the articulation. DR.. Louis
Simon who had the case in charge
brought his patient to this city and after
consulting with DR.. Luhman it was de-
cided to have dental operation perform
ed to assist in setting the broken bone.
The strong muscles which work the jaws
made the setting quite difficult. DR..
Charles Seeger undertook the work. He
had to drill holes through the jaws and
then by means of bands and wires had
the bones slowly drawn into position. 1t
is pronounced by all very difficult piece
of work and very creditably done.

PARIS, Jan. 29-lt is stated that Floquet,
prime minister, will introduce in the cham
Der Of deputies to-day bill to re-establsh
the scrutn d'arrondissement system of
voting. The Boulangist press has decided to
remain passive and profit by any mistakes
that may be made by the government The
downfall of the Foquet government is ex-
pected when 1t demands urgency for the
scrutin darrondssement bill, as the Boulan-
gists and probably the opportunists and
radicals will refuse to agree to it. The
Boulangsts declare that should the govern
ment blunder Boulanger will be president
within month.
General Boulanger, in "A letter of thanks to
the electors OF the department of the Seine,
says: "a national republican party, based
upon the probity of its officers sincerity and
universal suffrage, is henccforward to be the

fury The chamber now has nothing before
it but dissolution, from which it will not es-
cape. The republic is now free TO all French
men of good will May they enter in as the

The Interstate Commission.

CHICAGO, Jan. 30 Special Telegram to
THE BEE. Judge Cooley and Colonel Nor.
rison, interstate commerce commissioners,
left Chicago this afternoon for St. Paul.
Said Judge Cooley while on his way to the
depot: "Our time has been fully taken up
in Chicago with minor matters, none of
which would be of interest for publication
Our business in st. Paul may be of consider
able interest 1t will be done in connection
with the Minnesota railroad commissioners.
What it is cannot as yet tell. We will re-
turn Monday. perhaps, or early next week,
to Chicago. We may tn en- have something
of interest for you"
Judge Cooley was informed that the Chi.
cago, Burlington Il Northern refused to
ratfy the presidents agreement" The
judge has not boon taking roseate view of
the proceedings, and he was undeniably dis
gusted at the want of perfect harmony. He
Is on record as having characterized the
presidents rs pack of school boys and
as saying, "any doubt among the presidents
as to the passage of the agreement, or as to
its provisions being faithfully carried out, is
simply a doubt as to whether or not they will
support the law of the land Il don't like
the way matters stand" said the judge.
1.-The excluding of the 500 road will make Il
very disturbing factor, and the detection of
road virtually interested makes matters look
much worse" The Judge intimated very
broadly that it would be as well for the pre5-
at once. He believed that perfect unanimity
was an absolute necessity to the life of the
agreement. but he also believed that d faith
full living up TO the terms of the interstate
commerce law would solve all the
problems the presidents are now discussing.
On his last visit to Chicago, Judge Cooley
''gavc it out cod,'' in the language of an in
terviewed railroad official, that any mauipu-
lation of the rates would in the future be IA
very dangerous piece OF business. Since that
time several roads have virtually dcicd the
commissioners by cutting rates mt every OPP
portunity. These roads will all have II chance
to explain on the return of tho commission
next week.
The Iowa railroad commissioners, Peter A.
Dey and A. B. Cummings, had u conference
with the commission during the day. The
Iowa men claimed that a case brought
against the Boston & Albany road by John
u. Squire embraced exactly the points at is
sue between Iowa aud Chicago packers on
the subject of packing house product rates.
Judge Cooley and Colonel Morrison agreed,
if the cases were identical, to try both to-
gether in Chicago on their return from st.

HE WROTE LETTERS.
Consul Black Initiates Sackville and
Meets the Same Eate.

CLEVELAND, O., Jan. ga dispatch this
afternoon from Buda Pesth Hungary, an
nounced that Joseph Black, United States
consul to that city, had been recalled by this
government. Mr.. Black is wealthy resi-
dent of this city. 1t appears that he wrote a
letter to New York Hungarian paper, in
which he advocated protective tariff and ar
gued against free trade. This letter came to
the hands of Edmund Jussen, consul gen.
eral at Vienna, who wrote Black a very
severe letter, taking him to task in most
radical manner. Black made cool reply,
and then statement to the seecr-
tary of state. The letter in question was
not printed until two weeks after
tho election, and furthermore, he
regarded it as harmless although
he is well aware now that IN his position he
had committed an impropriety in writing it.
He referred to the secretary of state the let.
ter of Consul General Jussen, which, says
Black, probably has IN official correspond
ence no parallel for harshness of expression,
vituperativeness and personalities Jussen,
he said, did not see fit to ask any explanation
of him, but instead furnished evidence
and then set himself up as prosecutor, judge
jury and eXecutioner. Black further eX-
planned that he had written the articles for
another New York paper, and it was in re-
sponse to an urgent request from the editor
OF the Hungarian paper that he had written
the Objectionable document.

THE RAILROAD PRESIDENT.
An Attempt to Adopt tho New
Agreement Prnyea n EniImre.


CHICAGO, Jan. % Especial Telegram to
THE BEE. THE attempt to unanimously
pass the new agreement in the meeting Of the
western railroad presidents to-day proved
practically iz1le. The Burlington &
Northeru was not satisfied with the con
cesson granted yesterday, by which 1t was
made possible for it TO meet any cut its com
petitors 500 route aud the ST. Paul &
Duluth--might make. Vice President
Harris, of the Burlington & Northern,
declared his company could not sub
scribe to the agreement unless the
500, the Duluth, South Shore u
Atlantic, the st. Paul & Duluth and the
Eastern Minnesota roads were also brought
into the fold. The Illinois Central and the
Kansas City, Fort Scott 81 Gulf lncs were
also not represented, and the vote for the
agreement stood Alton, Rock Island, Bur

committee was appointed with in struc-
tions to use every possible means to induce
the three roads TO sign. Tho presidents re-
alize fully that they have been wasting their
time unless the agreement is signed by all
the roads Interested. In fact, eleven of the
forty-ive words containing all the nforma-
tion given to the press by the secretary of
the meeting, are: "Fhc agreement cannot
be made operative until all parties have as
sent,d" The balance of the press report
reads: "rhc roads represented here, with
one exception, adopted the agreement A
committee Was appointed to obtain the sigma
lures of those not represented. II is cX-
pectcd that the agreement will DO ready for
publication tomorrow"
One of the presidents unbosomcd himself
after the meeting as follows: II believe the
whole thing is going to be a failure. To
begin with, don't believe more than one of
the three roads that have not signed will
sign. That will block US right thare. Then,
il all the roads do not sign, or If those of us
who have signed, conclude to operate under
the agreement | don't believe it will last a
month. ! wish now | hadn't come to the
meeting My road at this minute would
he better off ii we had not been represented.
However, we will stick to the agreement as
long as it sticks to us.n
Should the presidents conclude to elect a
chairman of the board of directors it would
be done Immediately after the signing com
mittcc" reports. No one at present has any
particular pulp for the position, and the
presidents have agreed to do no caucusng on
the subject. The question will, if possible
be decided by an informal ballot and many of
of the presidents have expressed the hope
that the person receiving the highest num-
Der of votes on the informal ballot, will be
unanimously elected on the first Official
ballot.
