CAPE MAY, Sept. 5.-[Specfdl. 1.-The Presi-
dent did not have excellent luck to-day on
his cunning excursion. When the time for
departure came ut 8 o'clock this morning
there was a heavy rain and the threatening
look of the weather caused the party to wait
until 10 o'clock, when the clouds had disap-
peared. They left Schellengers landing in
Congressman Reyburn's steam launch
Neosha, and on board were President Harri-
son, George W. Boyd, Lieutenant John W.
Parker, Charles Coffin, of Baltimore, and
Congressman Reyburn.
They steamed Off to the beaches with their
guns already for action. The clouds again
gathered and the rain caused the party to
put back for the landing at Sewell's Point,
where the President and Lieutenalx Parker
left for the cottage. Home was reached at
2:3O, and the President bad but five Jersey
birds, locally called yellow legs. Messrs
BOYD and Reyburn then went out to Cold
Spring inlet on a fishing cruise.

BRANDING owKERLEss ISLANDS
A British F1e ct Hunting New Territory in
the Pacific Ocean.

New York Times.]
1t is reported that Great Britain has a
naval expedition in the Pacific for the pur-
pose of discovering" and annexing islands
that belong to nobody in particular except
the inhabitants. The officers of the expe-
dition have recently hoisted the British
flag over the lovely island of Labreton,
lying near the PHILIPPINES. 1t is said that
this year they have added at least half
dozen islands to her britannia Majesty's
dominion, though they have failed to keep
the rest of the world informed of their
progress The German explorers who have
been trying to rival the British have met
with less success.
They have set up protectorate over some
of the islands of the Gilbert group, hoping
for as much success as they had
previously gained in the Marshall
group: but the native chiefs there
object to German protection, and have
recently shown their readiness to fight
against it, and especially to prevent the
seizure of Japitonwaiah. 1t is probable that
the German Kaiser has not yet given his
whole mind to the consideration of the
questions that are under debate at Jubuit
and thereabouts.

ENGLAND AND PROTECTION.
Member Of the British Parliament Thinks
an Import Duty Is Necessary.

a Member OF the Brftish Partament Inlnki
an Import Duty Is Necessary.
Toronto Globe.l
In an interview touay C. ]. Valentine. a
member of the British Parliament, said:
81 have not the least hesitation IN saying
that there is very strong feeling In Eng
land to-day in favor of the colonies as COM
pared with foreign trade connections. II
has arisen In this way: For the last 10 or ID
years one foreign country after another
has increased its import duties upon the
industrial productions of Great Britain, and
TO meet the stringency consequent upon
these increases in foreign tariffs the prices
of English manufactured products have
been reduced from time to time. Well, then,
1t has not infrequently happened that
wages also have necessarily been reduced
in order to enable the manufacturers to
sell at lower prices. No sooner have these
reductions in prices been brought about.
and entry into foreign countries for our
manufactured products thereby obtained,
than the foreign tariffs have been increased
again. So the state of things has not been
bettered, but made worse. These facts are
widely known in England to the artisan
class, and they are beginning to say to each
other and to their political leaders what is
quite true-of what nse to them is the pres
ent system of free imports of bread and
cheese so long as they do not get wages suf.
ficient to pay the price for them. There is
the case in a nutshell. There are many ar
tisans in England as elsewhere who are only
part Of their time employed, not because the
price OF their labor is too dear, and not be-
cause the price of what they produce is too
high, but because the foreign markets are
partially or entirely closed against them.
Naturally among the artisan class, then. the
opinion Is fast gaining ground that it would
be better to impose certain moderate duties
upon the products of high tariff foreign
countries, even If in England they have to
give O somewhat higher price than they do
at present for certain classes of necessary
articles"
Sand the effect OF this would be7"
"Why, in that way at least some foreign
countries would be compelled to change
believed in England by many who have
studied the question that the imposition of
comparatively small duty on American
wheat would show the citizens OF the United
States that the trade game Is not entirely IN
their hands, and it would cause the farmers
of the United States to consider twice or
thrice before supporting the present almost
prohibitory tariff"
"How far has this belief spread in Eng
land7"
at is not so much at present question
with political parties in England, becauss
for many years past both political parties
have been committed to the policy of free
trade. 1t Is o question with the people. who
are beginning to see that the present system
does not give free trade at all, but only free
imports, and for many industries the result
of this one-sided system is unfair and fs be-
coming very seriously felt"

can profitably be made whether the prac-
tice may not be altered without damage to
republican principles.
As to the construction of European
roads it is interesting to learn that in
France, where the Tresagnet system is
in vogue, the road builders lay their
foundation as the old Romans did in large
blocks of stone with graduated layers of
broken stone forming the superstructure.
This system permits the use Of other than
limestone for the foundation, and thus re-
moves one of the difficulties presented by
the scarcity of stone for macadamizing in
certain sections. 1t even suggests that a
road constructed entirely Of free stone
with surface of sand or gravel would be
permanent and could be kept In first-class
condition by periodical renewals of the
wearing surface.
Every addition to the stock of public in
formation on good roads is a step toward
the final consummation Of highways on
which travel will be easy at all seasons.
The present system which leaves us with
roads that are impossible for one-third of
the year cannot continue long, consistently
with claim of high stage of civilization.

The certificate of character given to

"ideal of honesty" would be fiattering If it
did not come into severe collision with that
attempt to get off with some hundreds OF

imperative that Mr.. Nelson's ideals of hon
esty must have been formed on peculiarly
unfortunate experience.

BY an announcement in our musical
columns it will be seen that Pittsburg is soon
TO be in full enjoyment of large auditorium
for the use of conventions, music festivals
and other gatherings for which the ordinary
halls are inadequate. The Central Rink,
remodeled and re1tted, will. furnish the
locality. As it is expected to have the audi
torium ready for use in October-and one or
two attractions are already engaged for it
it will be seen that the project makes an i'm
portant addition to Pittsburg's places Of
amusement.

The present area Of Cincinnati is 24%
square miles. Seven city parks occupy an
area of 539 acres. UP TO January l, 1890, 2671S
miles of streets and 2lS11 miles of alleys were
paved. The total cost of completed and pro-
jected street improvements during 1899
amounted to sl,5ls,52s. In 1883 the city paid
out for street gas lighting. ssl7,5s4 The
lineal measurement of the gas mains up to
January l, 1890, was 29i miles. Sidewalk ex-
penditure.during 1883 was s93,s7o.

taken at 20 different points on as many
different streets. with the result Of proving

THE PROPOSED o., 900. 900 BOND ISSUE

1t is obvious that If the city has to pay
the piper for recent street improvements,
the expense of which rightly should have
been borne by the property benefited,
there is no alternative to the $4,000, 900
bond plan, except by special tax levy to
meet contractors judgments as they may
be entered up. Taxes in Pittsburg are al
ready high enough. To almost double
them even for single year is, of course,
undesirable.
But while the 100000 bond scheme
will probably have to- be accepted-and
with as little enthusiasm as Hobson's
choice-there is obvious necessity that the
plan of its operation be definitely set out
before the people are asked to vote for it.
Councilman Binder was entirely correetin
his position at the Finance Committee
meeting yesterday that the term of years,
rate of interest and other details ought to
be understood by the taxpayers when they
are called upon to vote.
Already objection has been made in
some quarters to the bond issue on the
ground that it prejudges the city's liabil-
ity to the contractors, in place of permit
ting that question to be separately settled
in Court upon. each suit as it might be
brought up. We attach no great import
ance to this as the Supreme Court clearly
indicated the city would have to pay any
how; but if the general taxpayer has to
put his hand In his pocket to the amount
of 50, OOO,O 900, he will very surely prefer
knowing in advance how long the bonds
are to run, the rate of interest that is to
be paid, and the manner in which the pro-
ceeds are to be paid out of the City Treas
ury, in place of merely giving an open
order to Councils in the premises A dis
tinct understanding on these points should
accompany or precede the demand for
power to issue these bonds.
