Transatlantic Liners Buffeted by
Waves and Encounter Icebergs.
New York, April 14.-Tbe steamer
Patria, from Hamburg, arrived this morn-
ing with forty cabin and $50 steerage

Gus spell of high head winds, with ex-
ceedingly rough seas The vessel labored

tude As she passed several large and q
number OF smaller icebergs

The New commissioner.

1t was practically settled last week that
the President would appoint Commissioner
Ross to succeed himself, and at the same
time replace Mr TIuesden with Mr.. John
B Wight, and The Times announced the
fact on Thursday. The names OF these gen
uemen were sent 10 the Senate To-Day,
and their confirmation viii follow as a
matter of course.
The District of Columbia never had bet
ter Commissioner than John w. Ross, and
& may be said that his reappointment meets
with unanimous approval. Mr. Wight has
yet to make his mark as pubic official,
but the ability he has shown in other ways
leads TO the conclusion that he will thor
oughly vindicate the Judgment OF the Presi-
dent in selecting him.

Well. What Next?

Having viewed with some alarm, and not
a little amusement. the late complete sup
preston OF the House Of Representatives
by its Speaker. and his substitution Of him
self singly and alone for all and singular
everything that the House once stood for,
we have been reasonably well prepared for
anything else, and, politically speaking,
announce ourselves as utterly incapable
of astonishment or surprise.
This is well; else the cold peispiratiOn of
dismay might bejewel our brow today on
reading that the Joint Traffic Association
has in effect decided that the Supreme
Court Of the United States knows rather
less about the antitrust law than En-
peror Wilhelm's American "bete noir"
does about Christmas; and not a fraction :
much as the high joint commission Of rail
way attorneys, under whose decision, re-
versing that Of the supreme national ju-
dicial tribunal with costs, the magnates
of the rail viii continue TO maintain and
defend their big pool.
The hench of railway attorneys in New
York reminds us vividly OF the formerly
famous Civil Justice Bannion, OF Chicago,
to whom barriSter once veDtured TO sug
gest that his ruling ia a certain case vas
diametricany opposed to a decision OF the
State supreme court. AT this the learned
jurist turned even redder in the face than

Justice, angrily shouted: ITO the devil

Speculation and Crime.

One or the things sincomprehensbletO to some
other nations Of the earth i S the fact that
SO many OF the crimes committed here are
caused by undue love of money. IL was
once said, "A Mexican will kill for jealousy
or vengeance, but for money-neverl' This
lis broad statement of a sociological truth.
Money occupies a much larger place in
American life than it does in the life of
many other countries, and one consequence
of this s the fact that absconding cashiers,
defaulting bank presidents and otherthiev
frequently owe their ruin TO a passion for
speculation. Every time bucket shop
slumps it proves that great man y people
who were not suspected OF wishingto make
money fast were really bitten by the de-
sire TO get something for nothing, and are
badly broken in consequence.
There are several reasons for this.
One is that in America money win do
much more than It will in most other
countries 1t viii buy social position.
of a certain kind: il will buy consideration,
honor, political preferment, much more
easily than in country where the lines
ofcaste are strictly drawn. Another reason
ls the facility with which money making
schemesmay be entered into, and the knowl-
edge OF them spread. Still another reason,
among the poor, is that having little 10
hose and all TO gain by a chance ia the
lottery, they are easily tempted. And
M OF these several reasons comhined cause

the lottery, and the bucket shop, and the
poker den, and the crap game to flourish
like the green bay tree, and Canatia To be
populated quite extensively with exiled
financial gentlemen.
The broad distinction which is made,
half unconsciously, in the minds OF the
public between speculation and gambling
isthis: To the loser tits gambling; to the
winner, speculation.

Artists in Danger.

Artists are proverbially lacking in
what people of coarser clay call horse
sense. Seldom does it occur TO these
highly gifted persons to guard the
scaffold on which they stand with a
hand rail. Many times have artists
fallen in consequence, aud frequently
they have lost their lives in this man
ner. Lord Leighton, vino died a year
or so ago, it has been stated recently,
was saved from such a fate only by the
vigilance of his assistant. He almost
stepped backward Off the trestle work
in front of one of his frescoes at South
Kensington Museum
Murillo was less fortunate. for he
died from the effects of his fall Among
other painters who came to an untime-
ly end in this way were Munoz, Perez,
Gabbiana, Gambara, Coxcie, Bozzone,
Cavedone and Stothard. Michael An
gelo escaped with broken leg, and
Frederigo zueehero after a frightful
fall recovered in surprisingly short
time.-New York Press.

Since Homer's time vast falls of or
ganic particles, as well as Of meteoric

The duck mole of Australia, which

and without defense. DIR. A. Stuart
has lately found, however, that a pow

parently connected with gland, may

sometimes fatal to dogs.
