there met Levi P. Morton, but Conk-

him in his accustomed haunts, they
did not fined him. Had they gone to a

would have found the senator pausing
between the pages Of one Of Ouida's

When the relations of the syndicate
of New York bankers with the national
administration were the subject Of ex-
citing criticism in and out of congress,
g. very suggestive remark was made by
one of the bankers who formerly helo
an important Office under the United
states government He said that if the
state of New York had influence in
congress comparable with its financial
power. and its importance as a state,
upon election day, to both Of the ma
tional parties. it might have happened
that tn, occasion OF these criticisms
would not have arisen.
This passing remark suggested 10
some Of those who heard it the amaz-
ing fact that IN the national congress
New York's influence for many years
seems to have been in inverse ratio to
the Importance of its electoral vote.
This fact is the fulfilment of a pro
phesy which was made more than
thirty years 40 by that prince Of poll
ticians Thurlow Weed.
When, at the moment of the nomina-
ton Of Lincoln, in the Chicago wigwam
in 1860, a banner was nnysteriouSly eX-
posed uDon which a roughly sketched
delegates were seized with one of those
paroxysnls Of happy frenzy which only
war or politics create. Contrasting
strangely, almost Wierdly and omin-
ously with that tumultous acclaim was
the silence of one group which till that
moment. had maintained supremacy in
the convention. William NJ. Evarts as
the leader of that group, sat with a
face as pale as the ashes to. which his
homes had lust been turned. George

had moved that great body as few
speeches have ever Influenced any rep

In the West Indies, England is par

The Biggest Fool at Large

Is the individual who persistently ne
elects his health, and the means of pre-
serving and restoring it. Many per-
sons who are not constitutional idiots
do this. They are genuine objects Of
compassion as well as censure. a
failure of appetite, loss of sleep and
flesh. impaired digestion, an uncertain
state of the bowels and symptoms of
biliousness are so many warnings Of
the approach of disease. To disregard
them is abject folly, which offended
nature in due time Furnishes severely,
if not fatally. That genial and thoro-
ughly reliable preventive of bodily
mischief in the shape of chronic dis
ease, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
will, If resorted to in time, avert those
disorders; to the removal of which it is
also fully adequate. Among these are
chronic indigestion, liver complaint,
kidney troubles, constipation, nervous
ness, rheumatism and malaria.

WOULD ALTER CONDITIONS.

WOULD ALTER CONDITIONS.
This condition would be obliterated
by the purchase OF ST. Thomas. This
island is at the northern end OF the
caribbean chain, and while not very
fertile, is a beautiful place to live IN.
Unlike other of the West India islands
it IS seldom visited by yellow fever or
other infectious diseases. 1t has long
chains of high hills which almost de-
serve the title Of mountains. Its one
town, Charlotte Ama.lia, is plctur-
esque, sleepy place. Inland there are
some large sugar plantations which
might be valuable property If Infused
with the spirit of American industry.
The trade of the island does not
amount to much, although Denmark
has tried to attract it by making it a
free port Duties are charged on no1h-
ing and there is not even a customs
officer in the place. Some shrewd peo-
pie have taken advantage of this to
smuggle into this country articles of
foreign make which have been landed
at Charlotte Amalia. Vessels from st.
Thomas are not watched as carefully
as vessels from European ports, and
smuggling is comparatively easy.
Pilots are never engaged by the cap
tainS OF vessels who have been in the
harbor OF st. Thomas before. There is
absolutely no reason for the hiring Of
a pilot as a vessel could not be run
into a dangerous place unless it were
done purposely. High hills surround the
harbor and vessels in it are completely
sheltered.
Seven eighths of the population are
blacks, lazy and indolent. The tenn
perature averages 50 degrees the year
through, and is not conducive to vio-
lent work. Sugar is the main crop Of
the island and some tobacco is raised.

least, there is little, If any, change in
the political crisis between Great Brit
ain and Germany, brought about, 1t is
asserted, by Emperor Williams sup.
port of the south African republic in
face Of the suzerainty Of Great Britain
over the Transvaal A dispatch
from Berlin TO the Times says:
1t is explained that Germany only
desired to protect German resi-.
dents and its consulate at Pre-
toria by dispatchnr an armed
force from Delagoa bay, and that no
arrangement on the subject had previ-
ously been made with Portugal. This
has tended to produce better feeling.
But this slight change of sentiment
has been counteracted by the receipt
of special dispatch from Pretoria,
saying that the Beers demand
the surrender OF all British rights
and suzerainty over the Transvaal and
the presumption of Delagoa bay and
the canceling of the charter of the
British South Africa Co. 1t is further
stated that the Beers have arrested,
on the charge Of treason, eight leaders
of the recent movement among the
