But that was nothing to what was
to come. The general had already
been informed that the road employed
eighteen engineers, while only eight
were working. He ordered that in
future these men should at least take
turn about. The next day one of
these "engineers," beardless youth,
came to him and told him that he
could not run locomotive to save
his life.
"Then how did you get on the
ay-roll?"
"Well, you see, general, it's this

Great Falls, July -, $50 a. m.--
Especial to the HERALD Washington,
Inly praaidAnt Mckinley was thor
oughly aroused over the delay which has
occurred in the starting of Miles from
Santiago. He is deeply concerned lest
Gen. Wilson's command, which has sail
ed from Charleston, should arrive in ad
vance of Gen. Miles and the naval con
voys, and serious danger and possible
disaster might result, as Wilson's ships
are absolutely without protection.
The president issued personal orders
to Sampson to proceed Immediately to
Porto Rico with Gen. Miles. The
presidents orders are susceptible of no
misconception. Sampson has since
replied that he was not to blame that
the conveys weae ready for Miles when
ever he got ready to start. Miles
telegraphed that he would start at 3
p. m. the u ST..
Two transport ships left Charleston
yesterday for Porto Rico. The troops
at Chcamagua are all ready to move
at moments notice.
The president and his advisers have
definitely decided that Porto Rico will
be kept by the United States. The
future Of the Philippines is matter of
development, but the Ladrones will
probably become our permanent possess
ions.
The postal service has been extended
to Porto Rico to take effect Immediately
upon the landing of troops. The service
has also been extended to the Hawaiian
islands, the same as Domestic service.
Sampson has telegraphed the depart
ment that the Maria Teresa will be saved
and that the work of saving her goes ON
very satisfactory.
Manila, July II, via Hong Kong, July
2l-Dewey may decide to capture Manila
before Gen. Merritt arrives. The insur-
gents are showing renewed activity and
there been vigorous attacks and slight
bombardment. The Spaniards, who
have been buoyed up with the hope of
reinforcements and Camaras fleet, now
despair of thsir arrival and of their own
success.
They would surrender were it not for
the fear Of public censure, but food is
growing dangerously scarce and they
may be compelled to surrender anyway.
According to a special from Madrid,
Sagasta has again offered to resign and
it is said that Gen. Weyler will form a
cabinet in which Gen. Bolabtiias will be
minister OF war. This combination, it is
asserted. will support the dynasty, repeal
the suspension of constitutional rights
and continue the war to the utmost
limit.

Rico expedition is gotten Off.

Sampson and Schley are still chew
ing the rag of bitter contention over
that naval battle, trying to cut up
the honors equitably; but of all the
cloud of witnesses who have yet of
fered testimony, Bob Evans is the
only one who seems to have known
that Bob Evans was there-and a
most extraordinary circumstance is
that Capt. Clark, who must have
seen some of the fight has never yet
said word about it.

A Remarkable Possibility.

A rather remarkable air compress
or plant is described in a Canadian
journal. Air is automatically COM
pressed by water flowing down a
pipe in a shaft, the compressor being
at the bottom of the shaft. AS de-
scribed, the water is received in a
tank, from which vertical pipe de-
scends into a shaft sunk into the
ground. The air is carried down
in this vertical pipe with the water,
being drawn through a series of
small pipes at the head, and carried
down in the water in the form of
small globules and delivered in the
compression tank at the bottom, the
compression being produced by the
weight of the back column of water,
each q feet of shaft depth produc-
ing one pound of air pressure in the
cylinder. The water absorbs from
the air the moisture contained in it,
and delivers the air dryer than the
atmosphere and at the same temper
ature as the water. The efficiency

IMPERIALISM.

II DtSluS W lOoh dS IL tne ISSUE Vi
'Imperialism" would take very
prominent part in the congressional
election this fall, especially in states
to the east of Montana. In order to
clear understanding of this term,
both pro and con, we present an ex-
cerpt from the Youths Companion,
which clearly sets forth the subject.
That paper says:
GA great question confronts this
nation: What are to be our relations
to the world when the present war
with Spain is ended?
can imperial policy is earnestly
advocated by many members of con-
gress, and by some of our daily news
papers. The high-sounding phrase,
'imperialism,' is used to designate a
new purpose in our national life
the future expansion of the nations
territory, by holding such portions
of Spain's possessions as may fall by
conquest into our hands during the
present conflict.
"There are powerful reasons both
for and against such a new policy.
We state few of the arguments on
each side for the information of our
readers.
"The advocates of imperialism
urge that it is not merely wise, but
necessary. After conquering Spain,
we cannot, they say, abandon her
island possessions to native control,
knowing that native misrule would
be worse than Spanish misrule, and
that Spain's weakness would invite
aggressive European powers to quar-
rel with her and with each other for
the possession of her rich colonies.
"Our commercial interests, it is
said, require the expansion of our ma
tional territory. We must seek for
eign markets, and France and Ger
many would, if they could, shut us
and the English out of those mar
kets. 1t is to be, so we are told, a
contest, political and commercial, of
the Anglo-Saxon against the rest of
the world; and we cannot, if we
would, we ought not if we could,
evade our share of the responsibility,
the burden and the rewards of the
struggle.
"On the other side, the opponents
of imperialism declare that we have
grown great by minding our own
business. Why think we shall grow
greater by adopting a policy which
will force us always to be armed and
ready for fight? We have prob
lens of government enough, in the
difficult national questions that al
ready perplex us, without undertak-
ing sovereignty over half-civilized
peoples.
"Colonies-so history declares
are more frequentlya source of weak
ness than of strength, and have to be
defended, and the defense, which is
very costly, must be paid for by the
people at home.
"Finally, the anti-imperialists pre-
sent the moral argument. We un-
dertook this war to free Cuba. Are
we continuing it in order to despoil
Spain of her colonies and to enrich
ourselves. Shall we ignore our own
words, and violate our own declara-
tons?
"We have only space to give in
meagre outline the principal argu-
ments on either side, but we have
said enough to show what grave
national issue lies before our states

What He Says of the Bathing Beaci
Committees Criticisms


W. Y. Stevens. superintendent OF the bath
ing beach has written to The Star comment
ing on the report Of the bathing beach COM
mittee. published November II. which Mr..
Stevens declares reflects on his manage
ment. In the course of his communicar ZION
he SAYS:
The committee say: The supports to some
of the bath houses and walks between them
had decayed so that II was hazardous to
Ire and limb to permit them to be used
without repairs Have I been ten wears
irving ttyihg 10 save life In the water while in
viting people TO a deathtrap on land? No.
the houses are only a step from the ground
and there could not be any such danger
A portion Of the walks made of old scrap
lumber without cost to the District when
we mad no money, was repaired. and II
needed IT. A heavy man once broke
through and scraped his shin. Second
the noats that the committee mad repaired
ana calked. already require as much re-
pairing and calking as they did then The
floors made by the committee under ths.
supervision of Officer S. l.. Browne, 10
hold sand, held only the big gravel stones
that did not improve Il to walk on with
bare feet The fences they made on the
floats are dilapidated and almost gone.
1hlrd, the sand along the wave line is
washed away every winter. and we have IL
put back With great difficulty some sand
mad been got into the inner basin for its
permanent Improvement BY the aid OF
committee took a great deal OF that sand
TO waste on the old beach. Tall cedar posts
that had been set to build the office upon
at the inner basin were dug up brought
away and sawed in two TO make n dog
fence. The committees expenditures for
this year, when completed will amount Ia
over $1,000 ! made the whole beach and
built loo houses and two large wharves for
$1,000, Since then $1,000 is the most
appropriated any year for repairs and
maintenance, and some years there was
go appropriation, yet I have added liz
hew houses. and the committee twen-
ty-four There are 236 in all Now,
the grand stand and fences built this
year, the robbing of the inner basin and
the sanding, grassing, trees and water plant
proposed by the committee all look toward
the permanent occupancy of this old beach,
and as the committee state their ideal OF
bathing facilities, and that the present
location is admirably adapted for such a
beach" and they ask for 81 900 to carry
out their plan, they show their determina-
ton to oppose my design and crowd me out
of the enterprise which / originated and
have supported in its infancy But IS 600
bathers and 100000 spectators this season
are Items of encouragement, and before
now. when beach prospects looked gloomy,
l have had many other encouragem
l give what one mother said: Before the
beach was established my boys would steal
away to far-of dangerous places to swim,
and 1 had not an hour of peace all sum-
mer when they were out of sight But
now they come here. and / know they are
in good care. Mr.. Stevens for Gods sake
don't give 1t up" And / will not.
