The Next House.

The republican majority in the present house of representatives is 51, and change in twenty-six districts would therefore change party control. If the country wants the wrongs done to the volunteer army fully investigated and made known and punished, it must elect democratic house. The unofficial and unauthorized and pow erless commission now in session will sim ply bolster the verdict already rendered by Colonel Sexton, one of its members It is made up almost wholly of republicans. and of strong partizans at that It is popular ly known as the board of whitewashers. A real Investigation of Algerism will be- come possible when a democratic house meets and unless the signs of the times are misleading the new house will be demo- cratic. The democrats anticipate a gain of two members in Connecticut four in Illi- nois, three in Indiana, two in Alabama, one each in Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Michi- gan, Minnesota, Texas and West Virginia, four in New York, four in Pennsylvania, two in North Carolina, and two in Virgin ia These changes are conservatively esti- mated, handing over the house to the op- position by five majority. Many think the majority will be at least twenty-five.

DEWEY ON THE SITUATION

Admiral Dewey in a Tribune Dispatch.
 'I hope it Cthe American flag in Mani a) floats there forever, forever. It is strange that we have wrested an empire from those people and that with the loss of only a few men. Our navy did most remal kab' e work If I were a religious man, and I hope I am, I should say that it was the hand of God. I remember, when we en- gagged the fleet, seeing shells fired directly at us, and do not understand under heay- en why we escaped.
 "Then we came up here on the Olympia and sent them an uItimatum. In three letters that were written by Consul Will Hams I told them if they fired another shot I would destroy their city. I demand d the surrender of some small vessels that scurried Into the Pasig, and which I be- lieved to be torpedo boats, and I asked the joint use of the cable We were close in and alone, but they did. not fire, and never did.

GEN. CORBIN's RECORD
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

From the P1ttSburg Dispatch.
 The interesting fact is brought out by the New York World that one of the leading incidents in the mil .tary record of Adju- tant-General Corbn is that while he was lieutenant-colonel of the Fourteenth United States Colored infantry he was court martialed for cowardice at the battle of Nashville. The charge was made by the colonel of the regiment, Thomas J. Morgan, who acted as division commander in that battle. So far as the record goes the re- suit was favorable to General Corbn, for he was acquitted. But the singular aspect of the case is that while the record of other courts-martial, including one held on the same day, are printed in the reports of the war department that of the Corbin courtmart al is conspicuous for it's absence from the printed reports. It exists in manuscript form in the war department, where it cannot be inspected except on the order of Adiutant-G General Corbin himself. Considering that the regular army record of General Corbin consist of a series of pleasant details at Washington under the administrations of Hayes Garfield and Me- Kinley, the wonder is raised whether the healthy political pull possessed by the ad. jutant-general has anything to do with the non-publ;cation of the court-martiaI pro. ceedings. The question is not a very vital one. as there never was a more remarka- ble exhibit on of the pull than the crea. ton at the close of the last congress of a major-generafs posit on for Corbin's exs press benefit. 1,

DECLINE OF PETER $ PENCE,
It Has Affected the Pope's Personal Income
 The Cause.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
 The IIispano-American war has had a considerable influence the finances of the vatican, and especially on that branch known as Peters pence"
 This voluntary contribution of the faith full toward the support of the head of the church reached the maximum on the oc- casion of the first jubilee of the present pope, in which year about five million dol
 lars was gathered in. This considerable sum was not only not surpassed or reached afterward, but the contributions gradually
 diminished, principally in Italy, which, be-
 ing nearer the vatican, feels less the fas-
 cination and sense of power of that insti-
 tuition. In France, where the republican
 policy of Leo XIII did not meet with Cath ollie favor, the same dimunition is to be noted. The cause at work in Austria and Belgium to the same end is the withdrawal of the Holy Sees support of the Catholic Socialists after creating the party; in Spain and Portugal the falling away in revenue is due to the ever increasing poverty there. A considerable blow was given to Peters pence by the Institution of the Propagation of the Faith of Lyons, which refused to pay the annual tribute of $2oO,0 900, which has been given from time immemoral al,eg- ing that as the vatican bears no longer the expense of protecting French missions in the Levant they consider themselves free from the obligation. The vatican, however, did not allow the matter to rest there. Ne
 gotiations were entered into and the insti- tute agreed to pay s40,00O.
 But the war stands pre-eminently above
 the other causes that make for falling away in papal income. From Spain and America, alone in the first six months of this year Peter's pence was $60, 900 less than last year. This shrinkage directly affects Leo KITS personal income, which amounts to about $1, O00sa year, partially taken from Peters income. Of this sum the pom tiff keeps for himself only about $100 000 not
 only for his small expenses, but also for the
 presents which he now and then makes to
 sovereigns and heads of states, and for the charity which he wishes to dispense prf- vately. The remainder of the $1. 100000 is
 spent as follows: $l40.0O0 for the so-called
 sum, known as the pIatto cardinaliz'o of
 the prefecture of the palace which out of
 that sum pays the expenses of the court,
 palace and museum. This is not an ex-
 travagant outlay when one considers that
 the vatican includes H. 0o9 rooms The of-
 flee of the secretary of state, which Is in
 the foreign office of the Holy See absorbs
 $200,000 the vatican employees $2Oo, ,00O and
 the free church schools $20S 900.

VEGETABLES DID TT
Philadelphia Press.

A very interesting walking match took place recently at Berlin over a distance of about seventy English miles. There twenty two starters, among them eight vegeta- rians, and the distance had to be covered within eighteen hours. The interesting re- suit was that the first six to arrive at the goal were vegetarians, the first finishing in fourteen and quarter hours, the second in fourteen and half hours, the third in if teen and half hours, the fourth in sixte n hours, the fifth in sixteen and half hours and the sixth in seventeen and half hours. The first two missed their way and walked five miles more. All reached the goal in splendid condition.
 Not till an hour after the last vegetarian arrived did the first meat-eater appear com pletely exhausted. He, moreover, was the only one, the others having dropped off after thirty-five miles.

SENATOR MORGAN ON THE SITUATION Washington Letter in New York Evening
 Post.
 Senator Morgan of Alabama, said the other day: q shall never consent to any return of them to Spain. We engaged in war because of the inhuman treatment of the Cubans. The people of the Philip pines have suffered as much, probably more, from the hands of their Spanish rulers. Dealing with Spain for the settle- ment of the present conflict, 1 should make just two demands-that she cede to us the West Indies, the Philippines, Ladrones Carolines, or wherever else our flag has been planted, and that she open her prison doors in all these islands to those confined there for political offences. As to any in- terference by the great powers of Europe, l reckon those countries can't manage our business for us. When they went over to dismember China, and take possession of certain ports and the surrounding territory which was done merely for the purpose of directing the currents of trade into western Europe, and to keep them away from this country and England, we didn't mix in. We night have thought it was ungenerous and unl1ind, but we said nothing. Now we demand that they shall return the compli- ment and not interfere with us in the Phil ippines. But there is no great danger that they wil''

---------------- SHOE OF A DERBY WINNER.
Mcmento Owned by Ex-senator Bayard and
 Its History

From the Philadelphia Times.
 Over the door of the library at Delamore place, at Wilmington, Del, the residence of MT. Bayard, eX-senator, eX-Secretary of state and ex-ambassador to Great Britain, there hangs a very fine horse shoe, decor ated with English and American colors. It looks almost like the shoe of fairy horse,
 so small it is. At this time, when the am-
 bassador lies dying at Dedham. Mass. it
 has peculiar interest It is one of the four
 shoes worn by Lord Rosebery's great horse,
 Sir Visto who won the great Derby race
 of 1895. MT. Bayard was always interested
 in the development of Thoroughbred horses and always a keen observer of the great horse races of the country. He held d watch as one of the judges in the great Tenbroeck race, and never failed when pos sble to see a trial of speed between thor oughbreds.
 He was present at the Derby. in 1895 when Sir Visto won his race and was at the side
 of Lord Rosebery when his colors came to the front at the finish. As a memento of that occasion Lord Rosebery presented to MT. Bayard one of the shoes worn by Sir | Visto in that race. It is without doubt the only horseshoe of a Derby winner in the 1 United States.

HoBsON'N NEW VICTORY
e New York World.


 Lieutenant Hobson first came into celeb rity by skillfully sinking a ship. He has again distinguished himself by raising one and adding her to the United States navy. After the Spanish fleet was sent to the bottom by Schley's guns Lieutenant Hob son confidently believed that two of the great warships might be raised. His su- perior officers had no faith in his plans and they officially reported adversely to his proceeding. But he had the same conf1- dence in himself in this matter that he had in the matter of sinking a ship, and he persisted.
 He has his reward. He has raised mo- ble cruiser, the Maria Teresa, lowed her forty miles into a harbor, whence after repair she will sail for an American port He still believes that he can raise the Cristobal Colon and add her too to our navy. Surely after this conspicuous sue cess he should have leave to try, and am- pie means with which to try.
