FEBRUARY ..cosMopoLIrAN.,

The secret of the great success of
the Cosmopolitan is not so hard to
find, il one looks carefully over the
number for February. A story by
Valdes, the famous Spanish novelist,
the first from his pen to appear in any
American magazine, is begun in this
number. Arthur Sherburne Hardy's
story, "a Rejected Manuscript" is
charmingly illustrated by L. Marold,
who we believe makes his first appear
ance in the magazines on this side of
the water. A profusely illustrated
article on the designing and building
of war-ship appeals to the interest
taken by all in the new navy, and a
thrilling description of a naval COM
bat under the significant title: "The
Meloban and the Pentheroy" describes,
after the manner of the Battle of Dor
king, possible sea fight, the outcome
of which is watched by the entire ma
val world. "Gliding Flight" is an
interesting contribution to the prob
lem of erial navigation by one who
has studied the flight of soaring birds
in the East for twenty years. Elaine
Goodale, who married member of
the Sioux nation, has some interest
| ing information of Indian Wars and
| Warriors. T. G. Crawford, the
Washington correspondent, gives the
first half of startling story, under
the title of "The Disappearance Syn
dicate." The poetry in this number
by Sir. Edwin Arnold, Graham R.
Tomson and William Young, is unu-
sually good. The Departments, "In
the World of Art and Letters" and
the "Progress of Science" continue
to have as contributors men famous
in both continents.
This action of the House is dis
tinct triumph of the old Southern free
trade element. The planters, under
the human slavery regime, were the
sturdy supporters of that policy, as it
not only runs in line, as they believe,
with their personal interests, but at
the same time placed check upon
the industrial North, whose growing
wealth and power threatened the sta
pility of the ''peculiar institution
That spirit, though somewhat modi-
fed by the changed social conditians

South" is not yet extinct-Salem

Thos. B. Reed has this to say of
the passage of the Wilson bill:
The party finally triumphed over all
but eighteen or twenty. What il
cost those men to do right, in the
midst of bad organization, ought
not to be lightly estimated. As for
the others, when they came back to
the fold the clapping of hands which
hailed the surrender of conviction
must have been poor consolation then,
as it will be poor comfort hereafter.
1t is amazing, that unconscious
cruelty of crowd 7 just as these
men were eager to escape observation
and longed to be allowed to reverse,
without being noticed, their loud proc
lamations of opposition to their COM
rades, the latter, pitiless in their de-
light, gave to sad lack of courage
the loud applause which is the right
full need of steadfastness and honor.
1t was sarcasm in action. All the
arrangements of the closing day were
made for the furtherance of this re-
suit. Instead Of having one man
close the debate, the Speaker was
called from the chair to aid the chair
man Of Ways and Means IN working
up such a pitch of party enthusiasm
as would force the reluctant Demo-
Gratis Of Louisiana into the fold.
Under this pressure and the pres
sure Of office, used judiciously, all bu,
twenty put their names on what Mr..
Wilson, with pure sense of humor,
called the troll of honor" do not
undertake to be prophetic, but shall
not be surprised if the next roll on
which many of these names will ap-
pear will be the sroll of killed, wound.

Webb of the Boston Journal give'
the following as to the status of th,
Senate on the Wilson bill:
Only IL democrats in the Senat,
have been found who were willing t.
say that they were willing to vote fo1
the Wilson bill without change. Th,
greater number of the democrats have
declined to commit themselves. The
II democrats who declare for the
Wilson bill without conditions Of
course favor the income tax.
The following are the - democrats
who say without reserve that they
will vote for the Wilson hill, income
tax and all Butler of So. Carolina
Cockrell of Missouri, Blackburn Of
Kentucky, Coke of Texas, George Of
Mississippi, Gray of Delaware, Berry
of Arkansas, Bate of Tennessee
Pugh of Alabama, Pasco of Florida
Palmer of Illinois and Turpie of In
diana-12.
Beyond this positive declaration as
to the vote upon the bill the canvass
of the democratic side of the cham
Der is at present of little value. 1t il
to be noticed that the democratic Sen
ators whose votes will determine
whether the Wilson bill shall be i'm
proved by the Senate or not, OF
whether it shall be made the subjec
of radical changes, decline to state
how they will vote.
Some of the democratic Senators
whose silence is significant are thu
following: Hunton of Virginia, who
is relied upon by the Southern oppo
nents of free coal to vote against fre'
coal; Daniel of Virginia, Faulknel
of West Virginia, Gibson of Mary
land and German of Maryland, al
of whom are opposed to free coal ant
to free iron ore.
In addition are the following Sen
ators who are opposed to the bill
either because Of the sugar question
the tobacco question or the lumbe
provisions, or various other PROPOSE
tions which it contains: Call of Flori
da, Ransom of North Carolina
White of Louisiana, Voorhees, of In
diana, Villas of Wisconsin, Hill ane
Murphy Of Yew York, Mcpherson
OF New Jersey and Lindsay of Ken
tucky. Not one of these gentlemen
is willing now to say how he will
vote upon this very important bill.
The republican Senators quite nat.
urally are free to say that they dc
not intend to support the measure,
although some of them are not pre-
pared at present to announce how
they will vote as to the details of the
bill.

Congressman Stevens of Massa-
chussetts, a member of the ways and
means committee which framed the
Wilson bill, remained silent when his
name was called upon the passage Of
the bill. Mr.. Stevens is Democrat
ic wooden manufacturer and has been
calling for free raw material and a
low tariff for the other fellow. His
mills have just been started up, after
a shut down, with reduction of fif-
teen per cent. in the wages of his en-
ployees. This is significant. 1t can
hardly be said that M. Stevens has
reduced wages in his mills in order to
make Republican capital.

sap, the canvass which has been

TO Serena Martin and her immediate rela-
tives. Recently an inventory of the estate
was made by the executors. who reported
IT as valued at s25O0OO. The heirs to the

Serena Martin went to Iselin. n. j., taking
with her a tin box, In which her uncle kept

render. claiming 1t contained bequeSts made

uncle gave her, II she will turn over the re-

SAN FRANCISCO, June IA strange ro-
nance comes from the State asylum at

was arrested here for swindling fashiona-
bic boarding houses. and a maid and
nurse, who had trusted her. She was twice
taken before the Board of Lunacy and pro-
nounced sane. A police magistrate then
pronounced her guilty OF the crime charged
and sentenced her to six months imprison-
ment in the House of Correction. Then 1t
transpired that the woman had wealthy
brother in Sacramento and another in New
York. who Is connected with the great
house of Tiffany. She was pronounced in
sane and she was removed from prison 10
the asylum There she strangely encoun-
tered an acquaintance of her girlhood, J.
A. Beardsly, who was employed as et-
tendant Now Beardsly and Mrs. Mis-
Evans are both missing from the asylum.
One resigned his position and the other es-
capped. 1t transpires, too. that the woman
has secured a divorce from her second hus-
band, mechanic. named Evans, whom she
married in San Francisco. and that she is
now the wife of ]. A Beardsy. The Ballou
family Is well known in New York. Boards
ly is the son of former New York banker.
