The London journals that are sore
over the defeat of the arbitration treaty
and attribute it in some degree to the
feeling in this country against England
because of her failure to assert hef
power in the Armenian outrages, ana
because of her apathy in the cause OF
the Cretans, have struck the right
chord. The Record Union" several
days ago said that as a rule sentiment
does not much prevail in diplomacy put
that as rules are proved by their eX-
ceptions, this is one case where senu-
ment has much to do with the matter

mother country in America; quite the
contrary. But there is feeling OF lrrl-

the complaint of the Englishmen was a
mere pretext-the real object is to
conquer and take possession Of the
Transvaal, and thus give to English
capital a good mining district, which it
is no secret in London it is the desire

thing that can possibly be made the
excuse for an advance upon the South
African Republic, namely. that the
Beers have violated the treaty compact
relative to dealings with other Govern
ments, that treaty making ii obligatory
upon the Beers to deal only through
English Ministers and Cabinets in max
ing treaties with other Powers. But
the dispatches say that in the opinion
of the most eminent international law
yers the Transvaal has not infringed
upon that compact, but has remained
true to its letter and spirit. Still the
preparations for war against the Beers
continue, and men and arms are being
shipped to the Cape in aggressive num-

Ten Dollars a Week.

In the May Ladies' Home Journal"
Mrs. S. 7. Rorer shows that a family of
two with one servant can live we'll on an
expenditure of IS a week for food in
Philadelphia and the East, S6 in the
South and so in New England. These
figures, she says, cover milk, -four, meat
and marketing, as well as groceries, and
are based upon the presumption that the
woman of the family is a practical
housekeeper Last summer" Mrs.
Rorer writes, L was experimenting very
closely and carefully my own household,
which numbered at the time eight per-
sons. and without the slightest difficulty
arranged an exceedingly attractive
table with an expenditure Of only SO

used on the table. To do this l pur-
chased beef by the loin, taking out the
fiIlet, using it as a roast one day for
dinner: made stock from the bones and
rough pieces, quite enough to last for
half a week The back was taken off
and cut into steaks, and the tough lean
end divided, one portion being used for
Hamburg steaks and the other for a
brown stew with vegetables. From this
one loin. which cost ST -, l had suffi
cient stock for three days, and meat for
four dinners, freshly cooked for each
meal, making an average cost of Al

Mrs. ROrer also states that family of

AND VICE-PRESIDENT

1t is said that a closer relation exists
between President Mckinley and Vice
President Hobart than has been known
to exist between any other President
and Vice-President for a half-century,
if not for all the years of the Govern
ment. Mckinley shows the Vice-Presi-
dent special honors; has already several
times called him into consultation, and
has more than once solicited him to ex-
press his views concerning acts of the
Administration.
AS a rule there have been anything
but condolences between Presidents and
Vice Presidents. The latter has usu
ally been looked upon as an heir ex
pectant and therefor as having less in
luence in the Administration than the
keeper of the White House garden gate
A Vice-President of the United States
many years ago was asked to use his
influence with the President. He eX-

lean system" The fact that Mr.. Nc
Kinley has deferred somewhat to the
Vice-President, and that the latter has
become a man of some consequence in
the Administration. as well as the fact
that he has proved to be a superior pre-
siding officer over the Senate, and com
mands the profound respect of that
body, has reused the ire of certain Of
the Democratic press They appear to
think that the President has gone out
of his way in the matter, and given
undue Importance to an office that it
was intended should be no more than a
reserve. and not to have any part in the
administration of affairs except as
President Of the Senate.
But President Mckinley is right In
the face Of the possibility that the
President may be called to the
Chief Masistracy. it is entirely proper
that he should have the confidence OF
the President and understand the pol
icy of the Administration and the ''rea-
son why" for most that is done or de
creed.
The Vice-President is the only other
Federal official who is chosen to office
by the votes of all the people His
station is therefore second in dignity
only to that Of the President. He rep
resents a repose Of public confidence.
precisely as much as does the President,
because he is chosen at the same time
and by the same influences. Mr. Ho-
bart is broad man. a man of affairs,
a man Of business experience. of sound
judgment and of high character Why
should not the President avail of the
advice and judgment Of such an officer
of the Government? Certainly the
scheme of the American system never
contemplated antagonism between the
two officers. Then it follows that It

IN THE RIVER.
Body of the Missing Michael Haley
Found Yesterday.

The body of Michael Haley, who dis
appeared so mysteriously a week ago
last Wednesday, was found in the river
yesterday near the foot of P street by
Joe Martinez.
The body bears no marks to warrant
the suspicion of violence, only bruise
that might have been received by strik-
ing something on or under the water.
II is the opinion of the deceased's
relatives and friends that while men
tally unbalanced he either fell or threw
himself into the river, as he had before
had spells indicating that his mind was
affected. He was seen on the river
bank four nights after he disappeared.
When Mr. Haley left home ne had
considerable money on his person, but
most of it has been accounted for He

Only small number of patients could
be accommodated in the older build

to care for any reasonable number. No
such private hospital can be found in

While the hospital has a very eff
