WHY NETWORK WASN'T THEhE

THE GRANT CEREMONIES COST THE GUARD
50 MUCH THAT NONE COULD GO
TO PHILADELPHIA.
New-York National Guardsmen were surprised
yesterday to learn that there was disposition
among some Philadelphlans to censure them LOT
not participating In the ceremonies attending the
unwilling OF the Washington Monument last Satur-
day They do not believe that such disposition
is general In spite OF "The Philadelphia lnquirers
editorial complaints and they were unanimous IN
saying that the criticism was based upon insuiI
Client Information. At the 18th Regiment Armory
last evening the matter was candidIy discussed.
THE only reason the New-York National Guard
was not represented at Philadelphia last Satur
day said of the officers of the regiment, was
because there were absolutely no FUNDS aVallaDie
for that purpose. The mobilization of the entire
National Guard Of this State to attend the GTant
tomb dedication was absolutely without precedent
I'm time Of peace and II cost great deal OF money
The Legislature appropriated considerable sum
for the purpose but 1t was not nearly enough. aho
the rest had to come out OF the money tnat the
National Guard needed for its routine expenses
AS a result the National Guard Is some SDoVU or
short, and severe retrenchments VIII nave 10 pc
made. The most important one OF these retrencn-
mens Will affect the duration Of the s tate lamp smn
which will have to be shorter this year thah usuh
We supposed the CIRCUMSTANCES were wen uh nn1

THE CoRBETT CASE CONSIDERED.

AN ARGUMENT FOR THE VALIDITY OF THE
APPoINTMENT-No ACTION TAKEN
Washington. May ls-The Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections to-day heard an argument
by C. e. S. Woods of Portland. Ore. In support OF
the claim of II. w Corbett to seat In the senate
to succeed Senator Mitchell under the appointment
of tho Governor OF oregon. No action was taken
Mr. Woods contended that the appointment was
valid because there mad been no session OF the
Oregon Legislature. He held that failure to organ
ize the Legislature was equivalent to holding no
session and that. for this reason. there had been
an interregnum. He also argued that II was the
intention Of the trainers OF the FederaI Consutu-
ton that State Of the Union should be at all times
represented in the Senate that. as he expressed H.
sovereign States should ever be represented Dy
their ambassadors in the Senate. The committee
expects to pass finally upon Mr. Corbetts case at

RELIEF MEASURES CONSIDERED.

THE GOVERNMENT WILL DEPEND ON ITS REG
LAR AGENTS IN CUBA-NEED OF HASTE.
Washington. May IS (speciaD.-One subject Of
discussion at to-days Cabinet meeting was the
manner of sending relief to needy Americans in
Cuba owing to the fact that the Red Cross
Society. whose services in distributing food
clothing and medicines 1t was yesterday pro-
posed to call into reQuistion has no ofnciai
status II was practically decided that the Gov
eminent would have TO depend upon Its regular
agents It was agreed that members OF the So
cetv would give faithful and intelligent atten-
ton to such labor OF charity. but as the Red
Cross is a private benevolent society 1t would
be more appropriate to employ only Government
representatives. The recommendation was maze
that few persons particularly those well quail
fed for such work, be engaged by the state de-
partmcnt with authority to collect the supplies
see to their shipment, and upon their arrival In
Cuba to cooperate with this countrys consular
representatives In the island in their distribu-
ton One proposition that number OF
officers Of the Subsistence Department or the
Army be put in charge OF purchasing, trans
porting and issuing the supplies. 49,
1t is now possible that special steamer VIII
be chartered o take supplies to Cuba. one point
which the President attaches Importance to Is
that there should be the least possible delay IN
providing for the wants Of Americans who are
in sore need of food. clothing and medicine. At
tention to the sick he wants given at once. TO
this end he inquired II there was objection to
aui horizng consular representatives in Cuba 10

required. No reason was given why thls couiu
not be done and It Is likely that the day an ap-
propriation becomes available Geographic In
strtctions will be sent by the Secretary Of State

DEFEAT OF THE Arbitration TREATY

TO THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT.
Washington May 1s.-Secretary Sherman has
given formal notice to the British Government
through Sir Julian Pauncefote that, the United
States Senate having refused to ratify the General
Arbitration Treaty. that document has failed. The
Secretary was unable to inform Sir Julian or the
req sons for the rejection of the treaty for he has
received notice except the statement OF the vote
in the Senate. OF course II is known why inc
treaty was re jected but the absence Of official in
formation prevents any attempt being made to
meet the objections in amended treaty.

There Is a hutter among the CHAP

nouncement which has been flashed
across, or rather under, the ocean with
lightning speed that the Prince of Wales
has a new hat-that Is, that he has
adopted new style OF hat In New
York the dude. OF course, must now get
another new hat. because he must al
ways have hat like the princes or he

The New York Times describes his
royal highness's new hat as sort OF

the Times, of the Alpine persuasion and

men who wear such hats frequent the
Black forest and shoot things with long
German names. After that, they go home
and drink long stedRs OF Hofbrau and tell
long stories about all the things they did

The attempt to introduce eccentric
styles of dress for men in this country,
10 never popular except among the few
trainiess youths who ape after lords and
dukes and princes. Our New York con-
temporary points out several instances.
Among them was the attempt Of the
New York tailors some time since to In
troduce plum-colored evening dress
clothes. because that was the latest thing
from London and Paris, but everybody
stuck loyalty to the black clawhammer
which has won so many victories OF q
similar nature. Afterward the habber-
dashers lost money trying to substitute
something else for the white lawn tie
with evening dress. Another instance
was when the tailors said that to be in
style one must wear light-colored satin
waistcoats with coiored howery figures.
It wouldn't take.
In all such efforts the tailors and hab-
berdashers have their trouble for their
pains" The few men who ape after for
eIgn fads in dress COMPRISE an extremely
small minority. And the reason is plain.
There Is too much common sense Ameri-
canism among American men. The
prince of Wales's bottle green hat with
a feather in 1t is the most absurd Of all
these fads; it Is little too much for
even the "chappies," and should they
adopt 1t they will soon be laughed out
off.
