the Fifty-second Congress- may have made

bill for this purpose by large ma
iority, but the House rejected 1t.
and. instead, voted small sum for q

to say that the measure came up at the

In many directions, and some economy was

excessive. But. above all, Hawaii had not

Our own country. therefore. has some-
thing to think about In this French cable
between Queensland and New Caledonia.
It must act, too as we'll as think. 1t must
consider whether 1t ought not to provide
forthwith for cable to Honolulu. perhaps
with q view to It's continuation to Japan.
The stretch from California to Hawaii Is the
one most important to us, commercially
and strategically; 1t has been surveyed for

prise OF another country. We're Hawaii

Arthur b Clahin. son of John Claflin. the
dry goods merchant. is trying to recover
$4,000 from Caldwell II. Colt Of Hartford for
alleged damages to the steam yacht Puzzle
The action was begun In the Supreme Court
In 1901 BY Lawyer Robert a. Griffin. with Col.
Robert g. 1ngersoll a. counsel. and yesterday
Justice Barrett appointed q commission to
take testimony IN Florida.
The Puzzle was built by Jacob Lorillard to
be used as house boat in the shallow waters
Of Florida. The boat is 90 feet long. Il feet
wide. draws Az feet OF water. and has single
screw. Mr. Clafin purchased 1t of Mr. Lori
1880. he chartered It to Mr.. Colt The latter
agreed to pay 50 600 for the use OF the boat, Of
which he was to take possession on Nov l.
1889. He agreed to pay all operating ex-
penses and to return the Puzzle to Mr. Clnilin
on certain date in the harbor Of Brunswick
In his complaint Mr. Clnflin alleges that Mr.
Colt tried to sail the Puzzle in waters so rough
that the machinery was injured and the hull
was strained. and that he deserted the yacht
at Punta Rosa instead Of returning her TO
brunswick. Mr.; Colt ,rejoins that the plaintiff
knowingly deceived him with regard TO the
qualities Of the yacht; that the Puzzle is un-
fused to take her to sea after March is. 1890.
Mr.. Colt denies that he deserted tho boat. and
says he left her at st. James City. Fla in

A Question OF Nomenclature.

Those who read about the war which Spain
has on her hands with the mountaineers
around Melilla. may be little puzzled to
know who these natives really are. when
they sec them variously designated as
Moors, Arabs. Berbers. Kabyles. or Riffians
| The present enemies OF Spain are Moors.
Just as our white citizens. our colored
| people, and our Indians OF the plains are
Americans. But to say simply that they
are Moors Is indefinite, and therefore mis-
leading.
They are not Arabs. and anybody who
values his head had better not call them
Arabs at short range. They hate the
Arabs. even though they DO co-religionsts.
Many OF them can speak Arabic. but they
have a language OF their own that was
spoken In their mountains long before the
Arabs got foothold on the Barbary coast.
They are OF Berber stock. just as most Of
us are Of Anglo-Saxon or Teutonio stock /;
but to say that the Spaniards are going to
give the Berbers good drubbing conveys
no exact information. We might as we'll
say that UNCLE SAM is going to send an ex-
petition against the North American In
dians. when. as a matter Of fact. he merely
contemplates adjusting an unpleasantness
with the Sisseton band Of the Sioux tribe.
The people Spain Is dealing with are Ber-
bers. and so are the Tuaregs OF the Desert
OF Sahara and some millions Of other peo-
pie who have no quarrel with the Spanish
Government. The broadcast differences in
appearance. language. and customs mark
the numerous tribes Of Berber origin.
It is even less satisfactory to apply to
them the name Kabyles. That word has no
ethnic value whatever. 1t is the Arab word
"kabila." and In the sense Of tribe" as
RECLUs has shown. 1t has been applied to
peoples Of various regions and Of the most
different characters. Tho name has 80 long
been used to specially designate the alb
original population Of Algeria that 1t now
seems. peculiarly. to belong to them. 1t Is
unfortunate to use the name II any reader
Is thereby led to suppose that the subjects
Of France have any part in the present
scrimmage. The natives who are interested
are most fanatical followers OF Islam, and
they attacked the Spanish soldiers because
In building q fort they had disturbed the
revered tomb OF holy man. That sort Of
sacrilege would not have ruffled the tempers
Of the Kabyles Of Algeria.
1t Is not difficult. however. to designate
these natives In way that will distinguish
them from any other people on earth. They
inhabit the Rif Mountains Of Morocco.
They have long figured in writings on Mo-
rocco on account Of their hostility to all
white men. particularly explorers. Geog-
raphers write OF them as the Rif natives
or tribe. The name Rifians, bad as 1t is, has
been applied to them on high authority:
but even this poor name is better than to
designate this comparatively small. but
exceedingly saucy tribe. as Moors. Arabs.
Berbers. or Kabyles.

The Classification Of Railway Passen-
gers In England.

An interesting change has come over
railway travel In England during the last
few years, as regards the proportion of
the passengers using the third-class car
riages. This proportion has signally In
creased, while the number OF passengers
using first-class carriages has diminished,
and that OF those employing sec
ond-class carriages Is tending to drop
to zero. Already in Scotland most of the
lines have altogether discontinued booking
second-class passengers. and the time seems
not far distant when only tlrst-class and
third-class carriages will he run on any OF
the railways in the United Kingdom. This
change Is no doubt attributable to the
democratic tendencies Of the time, for the
elimination OF the second-class carriages
must be ascribed to the incessant demands
OF third-class passengers for increased
comforts and conveniences. and the corre-
spending concessions made by railway
managers. When the people. who formerly
took second-class carriages. discovered that
they were paying higher fares without OBJ
tanning extra accommodations. they nat
urally preferred to purchase third-class
tickets. and their example has been largely
followed by frst-class passengers. espe-
cially since the shrinkage OF all incomes
affected by the renting value OF land.
We find some striking statistics on this
subject In the latest number OF En0ineering.
Here the railway returns for 1892 are COM
pared with those for 1879. 1t appears that in
the year last mentioned the number of first
class passengers carried In England repre-
sented 6.5 per cent. OF the total number. the
second-class passengers 11.3. and the third
class 1922. Last year. on the other hand.
the proportion OF first-class passengers had
dwindled to 1927 per cent, and that OF the
second-class to 743 per cent. while the pro-
portion OF the third-cass had risen to Sc. 8 per
cent. In Scotland the difference was still
more noteworthy. In that kingdom during
1879 the first-class passengers constituted
ll.O6 per cent. Of the whole number, the sec
ond-class 7.45 per cent. and the third-class
sl.bO per cent. The latest returns credit the
hrst-class with only 5,3.per cent. the second
class with less than per cent, and the
third-class with 9S.s per cent. Even In Ire
land tho same tendency Is manifest. al
though In this. the poorest OF the three
kingdoms. the hrst-class and second-class
passengers are relatively numerous. This
Is because in Ireland the whole number OF
passengers Is comparatively very small,
the masses OF the people being too poor to
pay even third-class fares. Thus. last year,
IN ireland but five railway Journeys were
MADE Tor each inhabltant. whereas in Scot
land there were twenty railwa" Journeys TO
