There is, of course, but one United
States in our estimation, but as a mat
ter of fact the designating title which
we are in the habit of assigning to our
own country alone is borne by four
other nationalities. They are the
United States of Mexico, which came
into official being in 1924; the United
States Of Colombia, which succeeded
New Granada in 1861; the United
States of Venezuela, which superseded
plain Venezuela in 1864, and the United
States of Brazil, which were estae-
lished in 1889.

FROST AND DROUGHT.
It Threatens to Cut Down the Yield of
Corn and Cotton,

Pembroke, Ca, April 15-The recent
frosts have had the same effect here as in
other places of similar climate and sur
roundings. Truck farmers will have
very little p reduce to ship, and cotton
planters will have crop next fall fully
one-third short. There will be a marked
falling off in the sea island crop. Vege-
tables have been entirely destroyed with
the exception of garden peas, which are
not hurt, and potatoes, which will be
cut off less than one-half. All cotton,
both long and short staple, was killed by
the frost last week, and that which is
now sprouting up will not recover from
the effects even of the slight cold now
There has been no rain of consequence in
several weeks, and the soil is drying so
rapidly that nothing can be planted, the
effect of which will be to delay those who
wish to plant sea island cotton until too
late, and force them to substitute upland
cotton or corn. The cool weather, in con-
nection with the drought, will make all
cotton late, and, therefore it will be in
jured by having to pass its tender stage
under the dwarhng influence of the sum-
mer's sun, diminishing the ultimate size
of the stalks, and consequently the yield
and average quality of the lint. Corn
has been killed TO the ground, but some
having learned that it was hard to kill
planted missing hills, while others
plowed up and planted over, thereby
losing some time and the benefit of a
part Of the fertilizer that had been put
under the first. Many have planted corn
where they had cotton killed, conse-
quenty more corn is likely to be made
this year than last. The fruit crop mas
suffered damage. All young pears have
been killed except those of a peculiar
kind, the. branches of which are thickIy
clothed in leaves, protecting the fruit
from frost. Peaches will be failure
and some other fruits of less Importance
Also berries are injured and will be later
than usual
Farmers who once made considerable
money, claim they cannot do it now, and
consider it doing well to keep even and
make support, which the majority are
not doing, as is doubtless the case with
many other professions. II is evident
they are economizing.

coupled with conditions of control that
would amply guarantee the notes of those
banks will be presented to them. If that
should be accepted, an important gain in
the reconstruction of our currency sys-
TEN might be accomplished; if those con-
ditions are rejected the currency situa-
tion is likely to remain in its present fiex-
ible state. The probability, however, Is
that no such improvement will be found
possible until the elections have assigned
to populism and sectionalism their proper
place in national legislation.
There is some tendency towards re-
newal of the exports of gold. The state
of international balances, however, is not
likely to admit of any important move
ment of that character; and, should the
outflow prove larger than is anticipated,
it could have no adverse effect upon our
present over-glutted money market, while
by making money cheaper abroad it
would tend to create a London demand for
our securities.

The Bows of the Ethiopia Stove in-
 Bags of Flour Bro ught 10 the Res-
 cue 10 Keep Out Water.
 GLASGOW, June 17.-The steamer Ethiopia arrived here from New York this noon. As Captain Wilson signslled off Tory Island she collIded with an iceberg in the Atlantic and stove in her bow at and above the water line. Her passengers agree in this story of the experience:
 The Ethiopia struck the iceberg on the afternoon of the sixth while she was steaming ahead in 8 dense fog. The shock was terrible. Everybody who was standing at the moment of impact was thrown to the floor. At first the officers feared that the vessel would not float, and the captain ordered that the boats bs low cred. The excited passengers crowded up ] to the deck, most of the women weeping and the men asking the usual questions. The pumps were manned after the captain | ordered away the boats, but no water was found in the hold. The order for boats was then countermanded and something like confidence was restored among the passengers.
 Soon the fog lifted and the crew wal able to make temporary repairs. A wall oi bags or flour was built up near the bow ! When the flour had become thoroughly saturated 1t was almost ss hard and un | yielding as cement. The crew worked fo two days shifting the cargo aft, so as t
 lift the broken part above water.
 The Ethiopia, which had been stopped for repairs, was put ahead after the wors damaged portion of her bow had beel closed. At first she went at quarter speed then three quarters, and after Tory Islan,
 was passed, at full speed. Nobody aboar
 the Ethiopia was injured and the csrg
 was not greatly damaged.
 Persons who saw the Ethiopia's bow tc
 day marvel that she was kept afoat afte
 the collision. The passengers were g pleased with the untiring and succsssfr efforts of the crew that they subscribe ] $270 for the sailors.

MEETING OF RAILROAD MEN.
Religious Work Among Heroes sf the
 Rail.

hafl.
 A special service for railroad men was held in the Howard Avenue Conerega- tional church last evening. Quite a num-
 ber of railroad men were present, and the services were conducted by two of their number, MT. Ashley D. Willis, formerly secretary of the Railroad Y.M.C.A. in New Haven, and MT. John Msckrilie, auditor of freight receipts of the New York, New Haven and Hartford. Mfr. Willis spoke of the work being done by the Railroad '. N. O. A. He also quoted statistics showing the number of railroad employees in the United States and the number of associs- lions working among them. There are 900, 900 men employed in various branches of the business, for whom there are ninety eight associations, with %. 800 paying members.
 MT. Msckrille. in speaking of religious work among railroad men, said there vas 6 time when railroad employees were looked upon ss merely machines on whom all efforts for conye:s sion were lost, but diff ferent opinion prevails now. No class of men have 60 much heroism in the presence of danger as these men, and in the desire for comradeship, together with that of help ing each other, many are joined In serving God. The speaker then read sn extract from 6 sermon by Bishop Potter, in which the characteristics of railroad men were spoken of and ways pointed out in which they could serve the Master He said if is merit, pluck and ambition which wins in railroad work. As in everything else, this work Is much better coupled with consecra- tion to Christ.

SKETCH OF HIS LIFE,

William Walter Phelps was born on August "A, 1889, in New York city. He was the son of John J. Phelps, who made fortune and who organized and became president of the Delaware, ,Lackawanna and Western railroad, and left the bulk of bic property to his only son William Walter. He was sent to Yale and won many honors and stood second in his clsss at his graduation in 1860. In the Columbia law school he secured the valedictory. In 1863 Ientering active practice he became counsel for the Rock Island and the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroads, the United States corporations. Before he was thirty years old Governor Reuben E. Fenton offered him judgeship, which he declined, and in 1869 the death of his father compelled him to retire from practice and give his time to the management of the estate. Re. taining an active interest in his college, be led in the 'young Yale" movement which resulted in giving the alumni a share in the government of the institution. He was at once elected to the board of trustees by heavy vote and had been one of the trus- tees ever since. He had always taken a great interest in politics and was an enthu- sisstic republican.
 In 1872 he was elected to the house of representatives from the New Jersey dis trict. He took high rank as a debster almost at once, and became noted as one of the men to whom the house would always listen. The house sent him, with Clsrkson N. Potter and Governor Charles Foster, to New Orleans to investigate the outbreak of the White league agsinst the Louisiana legislature. From the outset of h fo h- L1l. showed independence.
 He became warmly attached to James G. Blaine, then epeaker of the house and was his ardent supporter In the presidential convention in '76, 80 and 's4. In the last two national conventions he was a dele gate large from New Jersey.
 In 1881 President Garfield sent him as United States minister to Austria, where his familiarity with the language and cus- tom of the country, his liberal mode of life, and hls intense Americanism made him valuable representative. On the change of administration he at once ten dered his resignation and finally retired in August, 1882.
 He was immediately elected to congress again from his old district and he contin- ued to serve through the Forty eighth, Forty-ninth and Fiftieth congresses. His assignment on committees required him to give much attention to foreign affairs, but he had also taken special interes: in discus, sicn on the tariff, the merchant marine, and the congre ssional library.
 Among his more notable speeches sepa. rately published are those on sound cur rency, April. 1874; the civil rights bill, February, 1875; Fi,z John Porter case, February, 1884.
 He was regent of the Smithsonian in- stitutioa and fellow of the corporation of Yale college was vice president of the Yale Alumni association, president of the Columbia Law School Alumni association, and s member of the Union league and IJniversitv pInhs
