The Southern Fleet.

WASHINGTON, Dec. LIN the opin
ion of the administration the time is
now ripe for renewal Of the practice
of having the United States navy rep
resented in the waters of the Gulf of
Mexico and the Caribbean sea. For
several years past, saye an occasional
cruiser sent with all haste on her way
to or from the South Atlantic station,
not vessel of the navy has been be-
yond the waters of Florida, for the
reason that the presence of United
States war vessels in the neigkbor-
hood of the Spanish Antilles might
have served to create an erroneous i'm
preston as to the attitude of the United
States toward the Cuban insurgents
and tended to complicate the relations
between the United States and Spain
at time when it was desirable that
no outside influences should be brought
into play.
Now, however, with the improve
ment in conditions in Cuba and the
continued existence of good relations
between the two governments, the
navy department is about to let some
of the smaller vessels of the navy go
into West Indian waters during the
present winter season. The Marble
head, now at Annapolis, will start
southwark as soon as she has concluded
her work in connection with the trial
of the torpedo boat Winslow.
While engaged in this inspection,
the Marblehead will make her head
quarters at Port au Prince, on the west
coast of Hayti, and will be charged
with the protection of American in
terests generally in that section of the
West Indies.
This statement which comes from
the secretary Of state, is taken to mean
that her commander will see that our
interests do not suffer in the event
that the German government proceeds
forcibly to punish Hayti for the arrest
of Lueders.
The Wilmington is also to be sent |
southwark, but will first be docked |
and overhauled. The gunboat An
napolis now transformed into train. |
ing ship, is slated for She trip into the |
gulf during the winter with number |
of naval apprentices aboard.

HARMONIZING.

The truth of the old adage that "It
is an i'll wind that blows nobody good, :"
has been to some extent, verified by
the political action of democratic
party minority which resulted in the
Indianapolis convention and the sue
cess of the republican party ticket in
1896. One of the benefits derived from
that action of minority has been to
awaken thought to the fact that indi-
vidual views of personal conviction of
party policy stubbornly adhered 10 is
not democracy. A cheerful submis-
sion to the views of a majority is the
leading principle of democratic govern
ment and concert of action upon an
agreed policy reached by this means is
the only way of securing it. But that
action, which prolonged the date at
which the evils of republican party
government can be corrected, has also
furnished a test of democracy by which
the party and the country will be
greatly benefited. The tendency to
harmonize on majority leadership has
been shown by many followers of the
Indianapolis faction and many active
in the leadership of that movement
have confessed their error and SUBJ
scribed to the domination of party
majority. The conclusion, therefore,
now seems to be justified that all of
the boiling faction who were properly
in the democratic party, that is, all
those whose affiliations were from
principle and as political meana of
securing the greatest good to the
greatest number of our cOuntrymen,
will return to the democratic fold.
But notice should be served at once
that the leaders of that faction must
take their places with Henry Waiter
son in the ranks. Their future faith
ful work in party lines for party ends
IS determined by the party majority
will be evidence of their sincerity.

Thousands of Concentrates Stricken by

HAVANA, via Key West, Dec, g.
The deplorable condition of the coun-
try grows more and more apparent.
Refugees and reconcentrados are
growing more and more miserable.
According to reports from San
Domingo, smallpox is making terrible
ravages among the concentrates.
Since April last more than 1000 have
died in the city alone, to say nothing
of the suburban towns, which are like
wise affected.
The local authorities take no steps
whatever to check the mortality. The
streets of the city are thronged with
wretches, who sue
cumb to disease under perhaps some
lonely porch, and sometimes fall dead
in the gutter, where they remain.

OMAHA, Nov. 30.-A novel petition
has been filedin the district court by
Joseph BARLEY, ex.state treasurer,
now under 20-year sentence for loot
ing the treasury of $5O0,OO0. The
petition is an answer to the states
9 c in which Bartley is made co-de-
fendent with his bondsmen.
The petition declares that Bartley
cannot be sued since he is dead, hav-
ing been sentenced to the peniten-
tiary. His attorneys declare that
under the state law no convict can be
sued. Ifthis contention he sustained,
the suit against the bondsmen cannot
be maintained, since the principal
must be sued with or before the
sureties are sued in Nebraska.

Brakes Would Not Work.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Nov. 30.-Word
comes of wreck on the Santa Fe near
Williams, in which three men lost
their lives and much valuable prop
erty was destroyed. After the first
section of train No. 80 had pulled out
of Williams the air that controls the
brakes gave out and the train dashed
down the steep grade with rapidly Inc,
creasing velocity. The hand brakes
were unavailing to check the speed,
and when point about 10 miles west
was reached the train left the track.
Two engines were coupled to the train,
which was very heavy one. Eugi-
neers Newton and Watson, and Fire
man Berry were pinned under their
respective engines and lost their lives,
it is said, by being burned to death.

Washington, Mr.. Hobart said:

''Senator Wolcott has not lost any
thing in the estimation of his party
through the failure of the trip to
Europe. From what / can learn,
there is no man in the senate who is
more thought of by the administration
than Senator Wolcott. President Nc
Kiuley is in most hearty accord with
him on financial matters, as will be
seen in a few days, when the presi-
dents message is published.
"As to the silver question, 1 can say
that Senator Wolcott is very SAN
guine of success. and has not given up
any of his beliefs that he will succeed,
and succeed through the republican
party"

appeal for food to relieve destitution

peculiar provision of the constitution
requiring quorum of two-thirds 10
organize. so the legislature, never
having been in actual session, had no
opportunity to elect. Moreover, the
temporary organization adjourned by
constitutional Limitation before March
4, so that even it was not in session
when the vacancy to which the COVER
nor appointed actually occurred.
Both these considerations take this
case out of the jurisdiction of the pre-
cedents quoted against Senator Cor
bett. This is we'll understood in the
committee on elections, where his case
has been considered favorable, and it
is believed report will be made early
in the session. Ex-senator Corbett is
not unknown to contemporary public
men, and his personal standing as
man of large affairs and sane convic-
tions, we'll abreast of the soundest re-
publican doctrine upon vital current
issues, will make for him a serious and
sympathetic consideration Of his case.
The most serious opposition to him
will come from the free-silver senators,
who will fight him, not as a republican,
but as sound-money man.

ART IN SEATTLE.

In a quiet and truly artistic way the
ladies' Of Seattle take considerable interest
In the fine arts. and no city OF It's size Is
surpassed In the number OF able artists.
Almost every branch is represented, and
there are organizations which seldom pre-
sent themselves TO the public gaze. The
Art League and School OF Design was
formed about two years ago in the most
modest way and entirely by the efforts OF
enthusiasts. 1t has no subsidy nor any
support except that which 1t derives from
its own members. Such an institution is
generously supported In most cities and
made as much a part OF tho public charge
as library.
Gradually Il has added 10 its possessions
until now its studio commands some OF
the fnost models and studies TO be had In
the country. Painting from life and still
Hfe. sculpture and modelling comprise the
studies. and a large number OF ladies and
gentlemen devote their leisure hours 10
these delightful accomplishments On re-
oeption days friends are invited 70 inspect
the work. but. efficient as this IS. II does
not command the attention 10 which IL is
entitled.
Another institution which is growing is
the Seattle Ceramic Club. and this is also
malntainea entirely by the members.
China painting Is one OF the most captivat-
ing q occupations. and some Of the studies
completed by SIS members -auld rank high
in any city
