A PRETTY How-D'YE-DO.

In the Cincinnati game in Philadel-
phia yesterday, while walking in off
the field Delahanty tossed the ball in
play over the stand. The trick stirred
up a big fuss and caused a long delay.
Umpire Kelley called Delahanty down,
and then threw another old ball to
Rhines. Burke took this one and
threw 1t over the stand. Ewing threw
a new one over and then another old
one was thrown out, which Lajoie put
over the grand stand. Play was finally
started with a new ball. Each player
should be made to pay for the ball he
threw ever the stand.

BOOM IN OUR SHIPPING.


The discovery of gold in the Klon-
dyke country will give great impetus
to shipping interests on the Pacific
coast. Almost daily we read reports of
American vessels being chartered and
pressed into service for juneau or st
Michaels. The law Of 1917, fortunately
still in force. makes all commerce be.
tween United States ports a "coasting
trade" in which vessels OF foreign reg
lister are forbidden to participate. While
the trainers OF this excellent law prob
ably had not in mind "coasting trade"
between detached portions of the
United States II serves a good purpose
just now and will serve a much better
purpose when Hawaii is annexed. thus
shutting out every foreign vessel from
carrying freight between Hawaii and
American ports.
Probably this prohibitory law of 1917
is responsible, more than any other
cause for the flimsy claim Great Britain
has been so insidiously striving to sub
stantiate for a readjustment Of the
boundary line from Mount St. Elias
southward to the historic parallel OF
"Fifty-four forty" In justice to the
New York Mail and Express it must be
admitted that that newspaper was the
first to call attention to the importance
of this boundary dispute. It's columns
have frequently within the last three
years, shown the slenderness and vac
uity OF the British claim. 1t is unnec-
essary now to repeat the facts which es-
tablish the correctness Of the boundary
line delimited by treaty so long ago as
1925, but we will refer only to one or
the reasons for trumping up the Brit
ish contention and to one of its effects.
The moving cause Of the Canadian
claim to a boundary line farther west
than ours, was doubtless the discovery
twenty years ago that there were valu-
able mines and probable future trade
in the country long regarded as bleak
and worthless. Not till 1895 was any
map made disputing the long-establish-
ed line between Russia and British
America. according to which line Rus
sia conveyed Alaska to the United
States For fifty years the boundary
remained undisputed. Then Canadian
maps were promulgated, drawing the
line from ten to twenty miles nearer
the coast than the treaty line, and cut
ting across the heads of the great in
dentations which penetrate the coast
instead of bending around them, ten
leagues inland as recited in the treaty
Of 1925 and in the deed to the United
States in 1867
The hostile purpose Of Great Britain
is disclosed by the way this line is
drawn across these Alaskan fiords by
the Canadian cartgraphers. By secur-
ing the territory at the head of Lynn
canal, Glacier bay and others OF the
great coast indentations Canada would
be able to establish ports of entry there
controlling the trade not only into the
Klondyke country, but to the whole
Yukon valley. The trade between such
ports If British, and points on the Pa
cific coast like San Francisco, Seattle,
Tacoma and Portland, would no longer
come under the restrictions OF the law
OF 1917. and the seaboard traffic would
be almost monopolized by vessels flying
the union jack.

TEsLA's WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY


As far as Tesla has gone in his ex-
periments his theories have all been
demonstrated, and he confidently as
serts that he has gone far enough to be
convinced that these theories can be
applied to any distance. The idea is a
dazzling one, although its commercial
value is not apparent. Such a scheme
of sending messages could not be pri-
vate, and, moreover. the messages nat
urally would be limited to the simplest
expressions. The most that has been
claimed for the idea up to the present
time is that it would place the nations
in simultaneous communication with
each other, and thus enable all to be in
formed Of great events at once. 1t will
be necessary to await NJ. Teslas fur
ther exposition of his ideas and discov-
cries before attempting to form any
| final judgment of their pacticability
